This is the second time this car gets a P0299 failure. I was on the freeway, trying to speed up, when the engine revved up quickly, but did not change gear. Instead, the car started slowing down. After a few seconds, the car started speeding up at a sluggish rate. The car now has a wheezing noise when in operation as it accelerates.

Car began to shudder and jerk when in motion. Suddenly after turning the car off for only a couple minutes it wouldn't turn back on. Changed battery in hopes that would fix the issue, car did turn on but would not reverse and would not go over 10 mph. Oroville Ford dealership says the transmission over heated, clutch slipping. Quoting me $3,900 at the very least for repairs in a car with just 70,000 miles and that I've barely had two years. If Ford knew of the issues with its ridiculous transmission systems, why are these cars still being sold to lower income people who can't afford repairs? I am only about 1,000 miles out of warranty and on my own.

At roughly 33,000 miles I had to have the transmission rebuilt, now I'm on roughly 49,000 miles and just dropped the vehicle off to have the transmission rebuilt for a second time since I've owned the car, I bought the vehicle in April 2019 and how long till the transmission needs rebuilt a 3rd time? I'm very disappointed in this vehicle.

My car has been jerking. When I am in drive, and at a stoplight or stop sign, and I put my foot on the gas, the car hesitates and jerks. Same thing when I switch gears and reverse or switch gears at all....the car seems to hesitate always.

Just like all the other reports, the transmission is a nightmare. The car shakes horribly especially when you attempt to drive after stopping. It revs up when you give it gas but it doesn't want to go.. it shakes really bad. I'm so completely frustrated that I didn't do more research before I purchased because the dealership doesn't want to help. Horrible car.. run for your life if you are considering buying one.

Vehicle continues to shutter when taking off or turning corners. Vehicle at times won't go into reverse or it slips when putting it into drive. This will be the 3rd transmission repair since 2017. Ford keeps saying there is nothing wrong and that it's normal shutter. It's not normal at all. I fear driving this vehicle on the highway with a 3 year old and 7 year old child. This vehicle has put me in some dangerous situations due to this transmission issue. Something has to be done to rectify this problem. How many times do I half to bring the vehicle back to the dealership for repairs that don't solve the problem...

The purge canister valve had a safety recall last year, which the dealership stated they performed and marked the recall as completed. However, the part was never replaced, and is in fact defective. When filling the car with gas, it does not want to start and stalls out multiple times. When it does start, it runs rough for about ten minutes. The dealership is refusing to fix the issue without charging me, despite the fact they never replaced the part. They also refuse to repair the transmission shudder that is a known issue because it's no longer under warranty, even though they said that Ford was covering that issue up to 100,000 miles.

Faulty transmission causes car to shake or jerk when accelerating from a complete stop. Ford has reset computer 3 times now and the problem still continues. Vehicle also accelerated on it's own while at a complete stop. Ford will do nothing but complete a computer rest to fix the issue.
