This has happened almost everyday, if you stop for a short time either long light or pull in some where and take off the wrench comes on and at that point I know the car will not go over 54 miles per hour and acts like it won't up shift out of second gear even though I know its a cvt , this is very frustrating and dangerous , Ford will not do anything about it , until enough people die or get severely injured , I must be lucky though mine happens all the time I know if I shut the free style off and re start it goes back to normal for a while . . . People need to petition Ford . . . . Or start a mass lawsuit against what should be a massive re-call , why is the government not jumping in to force action , like they are now doing with gm . . . . . A 35k car should be built safer, to worried about everyone wearing seatbelts, but not about vehicles that lunge forward or just can't accelerate , the transmission is junk and we pay for it.
