THE TRANSMISSION "JOLTS" AND IS NOT A SMOOTH CHANGE OF GEARS ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP AND MOVING UP THROUGH THE GEARING TO CRUISING. ITS A NASTY ADVENTURE TO GET TO CRUISING SPEED AND THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING VEHICLES FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND THIS IS A FORD PROBLEM AND AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE I WOULD NOT PURCHASE FORD AGAIN

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THEY ORIGINALLY HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE THEY WOULD NOT COME ON. ORIGINALLY IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN THE COURTESY FEATURE WAS USED. TONIGHT THEY STOPPED COMING ON PERIOD. I HAVE NOT USED THE COURTESY FEATURE FOR QUITE SOME TIME SINCE I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS CAUSING THE LOW BEAM ISSUE. AS I GOOGLE SEARCHED THE PROBLEM I AM FINDING THAT I AM NOT A LONE PROBLEM, THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVINFG THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL SHOULD LOOK INTO. NO LOW BEAMS BUT THE HIGH BEAMS AND OTHER LIGHTS WORK PERFECTLY FINE. THE CAR WAS INITIALLY PARKED WHEN I TURNED MY LIGHTS ON AND I IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED A LACK OF ANY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. DRIVING AND TRYING TO SWITCH BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH BEAM ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING AS IT APPEARS THE LOW BEAMS ARE OUT PERIOD. BULBS AND FUSES ARE ALL GOOD.

THE CAR STUTTERS UPON ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE AND WILL BE GOING IN ONCE AGAIN. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CLEANED UP AND REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT TCM'S ARE THE ISSUE. ON 2/15, MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN SHE TRIED TO GO; IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR TO GET IT MOVING ONCE AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS CONSTANTLY RETURNING.
