Horrible!!! If I go faster than 50 miles per hour, the car occasionally jumps. I was under warranty, and took it to the Ford dealership for repairs. I was told that the car was never repaired of the recall issue, and that's why it jumped. Since I had it repaired, it has been jumping ever since.

At around 50 mph, give or take 10 miles, it jumps or surges or something. It is really annoying me! What the heck is wrong with it?
