“Attempting to accelerate the transmission will not engage, has a long delay. Rpms will rev but the car will not move, it gets scary on the frw.at times when it shift it kicks like a mule. The brake system squeaks, more like howling sound. I was at the dealership for the transmission issued they could not duplicate. Also when you going in reverse it will vibrate the entire car. All happened sence I got the car, while I am in motion. I have vedio,s.”
NHTSA complaint #11243055, filed 2019-08, 1,000 miles“The rear lug nuts have sheared off on the passenger side. This is the second time this has happened in a year creating an extremely dangerous condition. The first time we lost the entire wheel. Ford continues to deny that this recall is only limited to certain vans and continues to deny our request. I cannot believe this has happened once again to the tune of $1000 per incident and endangerment of life on two occasions. We want action now from your agency and we won’t stop until Ford is help liable for this recall. Life safety should be paramount to Ford. …”
