Consumer Description

WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR 3 TIMES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS AT 84313 MILES AND WE PUT A NEW FORD MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR. THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT ONLY 16000 ADDITIONAL MILES. OUR TRANSMISSION REPAIR COST US $1345 BECAUSE WE WERE NOT CHARGED LABOR BY OUR INDEPENDENT REPAIR DEALER. THIS TIME WE DIDN'T PUT IN A FORD MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND WE'RE STILL GOING AT OVER 120,000 MILES. WE SUED FORD IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND LOST.
