My vehicle accelerated when i was slamming full pressure on the brake and caused me to hit a store, thank the lord i had full coverage and it only did cosmetic damage to the vehicle, i've also had times where it will say the traction control is out or it has no uphill start, my model doesn't have that. I would like a refund on my vehicle but it has issues already.

Car will hesitate to accelerate leaving you to press the gas harder than needed at times and could cause an accident. Sometimes car wont shift into the correct gear. While driving with cruise control set my car will rev up to 7,000 rpm and stay there for a few seconds. I have multiple videos of this happening and im told its not bad enough for ford to cover it under my warranty because it doesnt meet their…

The car shut off on me while driving and i scheduled the dealership to fix it because i found similar issues and a recall but when i dropped my car off they said no recall existed for my car and there is nothing they can about my car. When i was leaving the dealership i almost got hit in traffic because i had the same issue for two days in a row and it keeps happening.

I was driving on a major road at speeds of 50mph when car lost all power to the wheels and transmission slipped. I was leaving a mall parking lot and accelerating when the car jerked dangerously and stopped accelerating causing me to loose speed and control of the vehicle. Probable cause: transmission failure or disconnect.

The car lurches forward, experiences delayed acceleration all the time, delayed downshifting and vehicles that have trouble stopping. It is scary when i go to pull out and the car just revs and does not move i step on gas it will slowly go, then it will just rev. Several times i had to pull to side of shoulder to get out of the way because the car was not accelerating. Scary when my kids are in the car. It does it…

When accelerating the transmission is stuttering, grinding and performing poorly. Ford said that this is happening because "i drive too carefully, the transmission is designed to be driven aggressively and will get stuck between gears unless you 'floor it'".
