| Vehicle automatic transmission will attempt to downshift to lower gear on an upward hill or grade. without warning, transmission disengages, slips, and suddenly jerks into gear causing the vehicle to lunge forward, sometimes forceful enough to possibly lose control. many other ford vehicle models were also affected. ford issued a technical service bulletin #08-24-1 in 2008 about the known problem, but will do nothing about it after warranty expiration. | |||

| When switching lanes on a highway at 45 mgph, attempted to accerlate but car which is an automatic would not shift. had to get to shoulder to get car slowed down and get it to shift into gear. after that incident it would only drive in the lower drive gear not in the normal drive gear. after car had been parked for 30 minutes, the car would work in normal drive gear but still did a hard pop to shift gears with a hard accerlation. mechanic determined that the transmission will go into neutral and than pop into gear. ford is aware of issue as had issued a technical service bulletin on correcting the issue. a transmission with only 70000 miles should not be shifting into neutral by itself which creates a potential for an accident especially on a highway that may not have shoulders for the driver to move its now slow vehicle out of traffic. | |||
