CarComplaints.com Notes: How can we give the 2001 model year a "seal of pretty good" when it has some problems with a slipping transmission and a known problem with the speed activation control switch? Because it's not the 2002. That's how.

This is a definite design flaw, and Ford is not "manning up" to help any owners with it. After I get the vehicle back, I will be sending copies of all my documents, service records, and receipts to the Commonwealth of Kentucky State Attorney Generals Office. I hold no hard feelings against the dealership, they are doing the best they can to resolve the problem, but Ford is about to lose a customer/owner to foreign competition!
