Thousands of Aussie Ford owners could take part in class action over ‘defective automatic gearboxes’

[poppa smurf]

ah! so now the purchaser must be "instructed" on how to "drive" an "automatic"......very interesting, at what point would that make the term" automatic" redundant.

I watched the video and at no point did it address the issue of rattling deep within the box, nor did it mention the sudden speeding up produced from the box, nor did it mention the incorrect selection of gear when slowing then accelerating from a slow down situation.

nor did it mention the surging when coming to a halt or the vibration emanating from the box on a smooth road or the hesitation on take off when applying power.

I wonder how much "training" or "instruction" we would need to see these "driver related" issues simply magically vanish.

sorry but we are "up to here" with the lying palaver that is dished out by Ford dealerships and one eyed Ford supporters, there comes a time when reality must overcome and dealt with.

why is it that when the vehicle is returned and complaints made that many, apparently, perfectly good parts are replaced if it is "driver error".......the box, not the driver, is the problem, Ford and a lot of folks should simply deal with it.....

"D" for drive should mean exactly that not mean "please consult your owners manual and undergo training and be sure to complete many user inputs to get to a standard drive.

the box/software is crap and Ford MUST deal with it.
