Transmission jumps into first and second gears from start. Engine surges and causes vehicle to jump. No good idea when going through military gate entrances. Transmission hesitates when taking off. Transmission makes loud noise when you stop. Feels like someone crashes into vehicle. Action not safe for rush-hour freeway driving or any driving when you must drive slow. Such, as in ice and snow. Dealer tried to fix, but stated was factory defect and than Ford was working on the problem with a modification. Problem no evident when vehicle is hot rodded. But safe for average drivers. After almost hitting a marine guard at camp pendledton, I no longer drive the vehicle on base during rush hours or when there are formations for fear of hitting marchers.
