POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I'VE NOTICED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THAT IT SOMETIMES HESITATES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS FROM A DEAD START AND YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR FOOT ON THE PEDAL UNTIL IT SHIFTS OR IT WOULD JERK. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE THAT PERFORMED THIS WAY AND NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT CARS, DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. NOW IT'S STUCK IN GEAR AT 60MPH. IT HAS ALSO DROPED INTO NEUTRAL FOR NO APPARENT REASON BUT ONCE I SHIFTED IT INTO REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE, THE GEAR KICKED IN.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN
THIS WAS REPAIRED AT BERGE FORD IN MESA, AZ. THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT RELATED TO THIS ENGINE COOLING FAN FAILURE.

BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED AT AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $1460.00 I FEEL THAT BERGE FORD OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THEIR SERVICE PEOPLE.*AK
