Zero damage to either vehicle, except small dent to the license plate, i took the vehicle to my body shop. After inspecting the vehicle, they are also confused as to why it deployed. Estimate to repair is $1800. Is this normal?…

The master cylinder shares fluid from the brake reservoir. I have had low to non existent braking power. The master clutch has…

When accelerating from stop the transmission wouldn't go into gear, when it did it would jerk and sometimes there would be a squeeling noise as if it was trying to stop the car. It jerks as if the transmission is going to fall out and the over drive comes on while driving and won't go off. Sometimes the transmission just jerks and jerks continuously so bad it won't go into gear and won't gain any speed. I have to…

The transmission went out at 43,000 miles. The powertrain was under warranty at the time, but the ford dealer repaired only certain parts of the transmission. Now, 25k miles later, the transmission is again bad. Ford refuses to fix because the car is no longer in warranty, and there is no recall. I think the car's transmission was defectively manufactured. *tr
