Consumer Description

FORD INSTALLED A FORD TAURUS TRANSMISSION IN THE WINDSTAR FROM THE FACTORY. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE LAWSUIT STAGE TO MAKE FORD REPAIR THE FACTORY DEFECT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. TOWN EAST FORD IN MESQUITE, TX FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DECIDED TO EAT THE $1000.00 PLUS REPAIR BILL AFTER THEY DISMANTLED THE TRANSMISSION AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. THEY NOW WANT TO GIVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND SHIFT THE BLAME TO THE USED DEALERSHIP KINGDOM AUTO WORLD IN ARLINGTON TEXAS WHERE I BOUGHT THE LEMON FROM. FORD IS CLEARLY RESPONSIBLE AND I WILL SUE THEM DEARLY FOR THEIR RUNAROUND AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
