The is a serious issue with this vehicle. It st-udders badly as you accelerate. However, upon bringing this into the ford store in pueblo they are using some bullshit excuse saying that this is a 14m01 and therefore not covered as the 14m02 is. They are shysters and they don't want to cover their faulty product. This is a safety issue and should be resolved. The poor lady that bought this care from us carpros in…
