Consumer Description

BOUGHT CAR BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2001. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT 43,000 MILES (JUNE 2005). NO RECOURSE AS WARRANTY ONLY COVERED ME FOR 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. THIS IS TOO SOON FOR A TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS AUTOMATIC, I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOSE POWER AS IT SHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR. TOOK THE CARD TO FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $3,000 TO FIX. I AM APPALLED!
