slow, noisy accelerationTHE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS AWFUL IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THE CAR ROLLS BACK WHEN YOU LIFT UP ON THE BRAKES, IT IS SLOW AND NOISY TO ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT OR ATTEMPT TO CLIMB A HILL THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AS THOUGH IT IS TRYING TO GRIP THE ROAD THIS IS ON DRY SURFACE. WHEN IT RAINS IT IS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS TRYING TO HYDRO PLANE. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION AND THE CAR JERKS. IT HAS BEEN IN TO THE FORD REPAIR SHOP THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO FIX. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT END THIS HAS CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES WHICH BOTH NEED REPLACEMENT.
