I was taking my wife to work, as we began to merge into traffic there was a loss of power due to slippage, harshness, and violent shifting in the transmission. I was afraid we were going to cause an accident so i pulled over to allow traffic to pass by. Since then, its been an ongoing occurrence with this issue. We've been to the ford dealership a few times to address this problem but still it has not been resolved.…

I was driving for about an hour down the freeway in cruise control. The car jerked slightly and went limp, decelerating while maintaining a rough idle around 1000 rpm's. The gas pedal was non-responsive while idling and i was able to coast off to the side of the road where there was no throttle response. The wrench light was on the dash. I turned the car off and tried to start it again, it started fine and i was…

While driving approx. 55mph, the car started sputtering and shaking like it was running out of gas, the wrench light came on, and it decelerated to just under 20mph. The rpm's would jump up and down but the car would not accelerate no matter how much i pushed the gas pedal. I pulled over, shut the car off, and restarted it and the problem had stopped. Thinking it was okay to drive, i tried again and it started up…

I was driving at approximately 60mph on a highway and the engine suddenly revs but all the power is gone. The engine couldn't maintain a gear and started decelerating in the middle of traffic while the little service wrench light came on. I had to quickly get off the road and to safety before i was run off it. *tr

Took the vehicle to ford to be diagnosed and mechanic stated that a bushel needed to be added to the transmission and the seal needed to be replaced. Mechanic also stated that the bushel is not currently installed in the vehicle (stock) but that ford recommends that one be added. Total cost of the repair was around…

Wrench light comes on. Ford is trying to say it's covered because the wrench light is on, and then bring you in to the shop to pay $2000 for a valve body in the transmission. They are pulling the wool over the nhtsa by making it seem like they have covered it when it's something entirely different. Should have bought a nissan. Basically the car doesn't accelerate. Come the time i might get hit by a car, i wont be…

I was driving home from work last night and my car shut off. It shook violently and decelerated to a stop. I read online about the 13n09 consumer satisfaction program and since my car is exhibiting the same symptoms i decided to limp into the dealer.
