Transmission stalled on highway. Have had this car three days and already have stalling out and no power problems! this car is a dangerous vehicle! my 17 year old grandson was almost hit by a truck. The dealership said no problems with the transmission on this car, but after reading all the information about the transmission and many other safety issues, all of these cars should be removed and replaced. Ford made a really dangerous car in those years. It should get a zero safety rating. And the locks are a huge safety issue! platte valley Ford in kearney said they would look at the lock recall when we brought the car back for transmission flush, but after purchasing this dangerous car three days ago, and already having this transmission stalling out problem, it is time to take legal action!

About June 2023 it started with more problems and I don’t like it much because my 19 year old daughter is driving my car for school. I would like if Ford can fix the engine problem ASAP.
