I bought the car new, and the first few thousand km there were no problems, then there was a recall and a patch needed to be loaded on my car... and then the shuddering started. It was still under warranty so I took it back numerous times. Every time I am without a car for a week or two... They replaced my clutch (apparently it has an external clutch). I had a breakdown next to the road, it was a transmission failure, so the car was towed to Lazarus Ford in Centurion and they said the battery lost power, they recharged my battery and charged my R700 to reset my computer. Then my engine light came on, again it was my transmission (apparently it was the TCM unit, which Lazarus replaced). The shuddering is worse during the summer months. I really love my car but it is truly annoying when you pull away and it shudder and struggle to get away.
I have had to date 5 recalls right until today. The biggest one being, the transmission needs to be replaced. Vehicle has been to 4 different dealerships about 8 times on the various issues, brakes about 5 times. I am so tired now. I just want another vehicle. What can i do?
I PURCHASED A FORD ECOSPORT -TITANIUM AUTO IN SOUTH AFRICA , DURBAN IN OCTOBER, 2014.
THE CAR WAS MOVING WELL UNTIL LATELY, NOT ALWAYS BUT MOST OF THE TIME FROM STOP TO START THE CAR SHUDDERS LIKE A MISS. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. IT IS NOT LOSING POWER AND MOVES WELL ON LONG DISTANCE .
IT IS ABOUT 14OOOKM NOW .
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP .
