- Eden, NY, USA

While driving in traffic the vehicle lost drive power and would not engage into gear. No warning lamps or dashboard signals. The safety of other drivers became clear as I had to move the car (while coasting) from lane to side of road. The dealership called this a catastrophic transmission failure of the pump and suggests a full transmission replacement. My incident could have been far worse if on highway or heavier traffic. This failure contributed to unsafe conditions. I-??m reporting this because I-??ve read about many other instances of the same transmission problem on the same model and make and year.

- Sacramento, CA, USA

Premature transmission failure with no warning at all while traveling at 75 miles per hour on the highway and an accident was narrowly avoided. Car was towed to dealership and they did confirm the transmission has failed and needs to be replaced. It appears this is a known issue yet they will not do anything to help the consumer except tell them it failed and they have to replace it for $6000 dollars. After much research there are hundreds of complaints on this same issue on this exact vehicle and the transmission is failing people while driving without warning - this is going to get someone injured or killed as there is no warning of potential transmission issues - just fails while driving out of nowhere and on vehicles that should not be having transmission issues yet. Ford is doing nothing about this but they know of the issue - they just leave the cars out there so someone can possibly get hurt. This is a huge safety concern and I cannot believe there is not a recall on this vehicle. This needs to be investigated in full and the consumers taken care of as you cannot knowlingy put faulty transmissions in cars and let the consumer get injured or even possibly killed.
