Shortly after buying this POS the transmission slipped during acceleration/deceleration which was actually a throttle body problem. Poor power of acceleration, a loud shriek like a belt slipping, the wrench icon comes on dash and sometimes it acts like it's in neutral until engine is shut off and restarted. Very dangerous to drive. While it was under warranty, they updated the computer module by flashing itand rebuilt the transmission. Later on, Ford issued the recall where they flashed it again and cleaned the throttle body. Brought it back a couple of times when problem obviously wasn't resolved and Galpin Ford in North Hills told us we would have to pay to over $1,000 on a new throttle body, which I doubt would fix it after reading all the posts online. Galpin suggested we sue Ford Motors because their hands were tied. I will never buy another Ford again. I feel like blowing this car up with dynamite on you tube but I'm too broke to buy any after having to buy another car. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! F.U. Ford Motors!
