started slipping from startup when cold then slamming into gear. Dealer "broke" alignment tool during new sensor replacement resulting in 5 additional days out of service waiting for replacement tool from ford |
| 15000 mi | Tranny is always in the wrong gear. It seems as though it is always upshifting to save gas, at the expense of power. Though my gas mileage sucks! Tranny also gets confused when moving up and down the gears and hesitates w/ loss of power. |
