| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Power train: transmission. i have a ford edge built on 01/04/07. purchased on april 01,2007 about 30 days after that about once a week after sitting all night upon leaving the house the transmission starts out smoothly but as i step on the gas the transmission has a sudden surge and makes a loud 'bang" and down shifts causing a sudden down turn in speed. then it just goes away and is fine for several days . lately this occurring more and more(about every four days at the moment. unusual thing is it only occurs in the morning start up. when i took into the dealer they found a notice put out by ford stating that cars built in between december 15,2006 and january 10,2007 have a problem of shifting from fouth to first in start up. but ford states that without the computer noting this one specific code they will not replace the transmission. i am in great fear that if this starts more often in the regular daytime driving i will never know if i can moderately pick up speed anytime or will the car downshift in common traffic and the possibilities of being struck from behind or broadsided. this is a very serious defect that needs immediate attention. when this occurs the noise alone is frightening. even though you have it in your mind it could happen it always scares you. *tr |
