What owners wrote
Vehicle stalls mostly when shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. Vehicle has stalled at least 20 times, taken to dealer 8 times. Dealer could not remedy, ford was buying vehicle back.
Multiple defects with the transmission and the drive train cause the vehicle to stop operating causing a huge safety risk to the driver and passengers. I have read online that this is a huge issue with this make and model and ford refuses to issue a recall.
