When shifting gears the automatic transmission shifts very hard i understand this is due to the overdrive not operating correctly. I have had other people tell me theirs trucks (ford f150) do the same thing. Is their a recall on this problem?*ak

When i brought it back to sunstate ford to…

The engine speed increases but the vehicle does not accelerate. This has resulted in a few near-misses when i merged into freeway traffic and have nearly been hit by oncoming traffic. The service rep at my dealership says that he…
