I needed a car . Fix or buy?? No time to fix. Sold to car yard for $3,800. Car was pristine. Garaged, about 50,000 miles. Caused a financial hardship and I was stranded 200 miles from home.

• POWER TRAIN

  took car in under warranty for problem with noise in rear end they said they fixed it with reprograming awd problem came back not covering full amount of fix

• POWER TRAIN

  Took into a Ford dealership for running sluggish at low speed. Sensor and torque converter were bad.

• ENGINE

  My vehicle is experiencing transmission shuddering, and after taking it to an authorized Ford dealership for diagnosis. I was told that there is a problem involving the torque converter. I was initially quoted approximately $7,000 for the torque-converter repair and was subsequently advised that the dealership would recommend replacing the entire transmission at an estimated cost of approximately $11,200. There has been a recall, but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I initially reported a problem in May 2022 and they couldn't find anything wrong at that time. There are currently two Technical Service Bulletins that affect my vehicle. They are Ford TSB 21-2389 – 8F35 Transmission Shudder/Buck/Jerk and Ford TSB 26-2341 – Torque Converter Shudder (issued July 22, 2026). My vehicle has approximately 79,000 miles on it, this shouldn't happen with a car with this low of miles and this many issues with recalls and TSBs. I have been met with continual road blocks from Ford.

• POWER TRAIN

  The car shudders and jerks when in certain gears and mph. The transmission is failing I was told by the Ford Dealer, Steven’s Ford and that the transmission should be rebuilt and torque converters need to be repaired. The car has 37,000 miles only. I have an invoice from Steven’s Ford for a diagnostic check up on the car but not repairs.

• ENGINE

  Every single time I accelerate between 20-40 miles per hour, the transmission shudders.

• POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  Was to be paid off in September and give our family some financial relief ,but the very end of July the transmission went in this car is what ford told me. They forgot to mention that the motor was about to go as well. We paid 60,000 in payments. To get screwed over by my local Ford! We had just left Canada wonderland on the 400 series in Canada. My car completely died. We were able to coast to side of the road. Tried to start it but it would only go a tiny bit not enough to get us home so there we are stranded on the side of the highway, because Ford didn't want to admit that the edge was a complete flop. We bought this brand new. It's a catastrophic failure they know this. Toyota offered us 800.00 . I did sell it privately and was told that the motor was gone in it as well. Good job Ford get me to be in for each problem

• POWER TRAIN

  At low speed, the transmission does not shift smoothly. Upon further acceleration past 40 mph, it continues to operate in normal fashion

• ENGINE

  I am having problems with my transmission; it puts itself into park when we tried to put it in gear. It has been sitting in my back driveway for almost a year as we can't drive it. When this happened, we had just pulled into my front driveway after a 2+ hour trip and put the car in park. Then without turning it off, went to put it in reverse to move it - the car BY ITSELF went into park - we Watched it and have it recorded!! We have taken it to dealerships within the months before this - to begin with, when it shuddered when it drove, but they told us it was a computer issue. It kept getting worse until this happened - thank God we weren't still traveling on the interstate when it put itself into park!!!

• POWER TRAIN

  The vehicle has experienced transmission issues. I received a powertrain malfunction light in August, and the car suddenly had trouble shifting in low gears resulting in jerking. When driving, it continued to have issues. Then, it wouldn't go into reverse and the jerking increased before having it towed to get evaluated. There were no signs and it appears that MANY of these transmissions are reported to have issues.

• POWER TRAIN

  What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Transmission - Torque Converter and associated parts. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Propulsion and control of gear shifting can come/go cause shuddering - especially between 20mph and 40mph. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Just the dealer mechanics. There is a TSB and Ford knows there are issues with this system. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No check engine or associated lights

• SEAT BELTS

  My drivers side seat belt is getting stuck while pulling it out. It clicks and becomes stuck and I can’t put it on. When I do finally get it on I became stuck on 3 separate occasions and couldn’t physically get it off without help. I haven’t brought it to be inspected because my vin is not listed in the recall of driver side seatbelt. No lamps or messages prior.
