Bought vehicle new in Jan 2013. Was quiet at the time. Has become louder and sounds like something rubbing when turning and sometimes while driving. Car is hesitating and stuttering terrible. Have almost been hit making turns when it begins to hesitate and then speeds up. Dealership told me there is a leak and I need new clutch. They won't have parts for 30 days though. Are they going to pay if I get in accident?.

Takara recall I've owned this death trap since 2012 and has had the dual transmission replaced at least twice. . It has always jerked and stalled out on me while traveling through intersections, pulling off from stop signs/red lights, and while driving up hills. It's embarrassing, but most of all unsafe for me, my children, and other drivers.

First incident occurred in Nov, 2014 on a cold Saturday night. Driving and all of sudden car, turns itself off in the middle of traffic and I have no power, no nothing, I'm trying to avoid being killed, because I have no emergency lights or anything. I get out and start waving traffic to go around. I had to call police, who came and stayed with me for two or more hours, cause he tried unsuccessfully to get my car to go in gear and start. To no avail. We were there on blocking traffic. Without this officer help, I know I would have been killed, by oncoming traffic. Second time, I'm at school. Ready to leave for the day, everyone's leaving except me. Does it again. This time I have to leave it. 3rd. Time I'm at car wash. Driver begans to move my car to be washed, you guessed it, again embrass won't start and says it's not in gear. I call dealership, again who says they don't know what or why or what to do. And you guessed it, go to visit my daughter. Only problem is I can't leave, same problem again. This time I gotta leave it again. Dealership comes out next day, and they can't get it started, now it's still sitting at my daughter's house, just waiting to see now. What my options are as a consumer. I feel powerless and used. ********* please please please someone help me !.
At 232 miles we started taking this car back to the dealer for transmission problems, and were told they had no clue what was going on, before 60,000 miles they replaced the transmission or did software updates numerous times, also after 60,000 it continued. In addition the frame and axels have had several issues when the car has never been in accident. I was told by a Ford mechanic the transmission caused that due to the severe shaking caused by the transmission issues. In addition the air conditioning had issues over and over and the electrical system also had issues after recalls for something to due with the battery harness, my lights went out, my radio stopped working, my air conditioning system and many other odd electrical things happened at this point this car sits in my driveway and is unable to be driven because of safety issues, while I wait and hope that Ford is forced to do a buy back. I purchased this car for my daughter when she went off to college in the hopes she would have a safe reliable car, it has been anything but that, so many problems over the years but unable to financially to purchase another and forced to spend money on repairs to keep this one running. I am so upset that they knew before they ever put this car on the road that it was unsafe just so they could make money at the risk they were putting people in, there were several times my daughters car would shake stutter and slow down that she had to pull off the road to avoid causing an accident. . I have all of the work bills do you want those?.
