Consumer Description

I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE WORK, PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE TRANSMISSION JUST DIED. NO WARNING IN ADVANCE. THE CAR IS A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT AND COST MY $ 3000 FOR A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. FORD STATED " NO WARRANTY" OVER 30,000 MILES SORRY. SHOULD THIS BE HAPPENING TO A VAN THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND THAT COST ME $27,000. THE GARAGE THAT INSTALLED MY TRANSMISSION STATED THAT THE PARTS MELTED TOGETHER AND WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T START ON FIRE. *JB
