Consumer Description

ON 7-22-08 MYSELF, SISTER AND KIDS WERE DRIVING AND PULLED THROUGH THE MCDONALD'S DRIVE THROUGH FOR A DRINK THEN WHEN I PULLED OUT ONTO HWY 31 IN CORSICANA TO GET BACK ON INTERSTATE 45 MY 2006 FREESTAR WITH 52205 MILES WOULD NOT GO. IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. LUCKY THE ROAD WENT DOWN HILL A LITTLE AND COULD GET TO THE CENTER LANE. I THEN SAW A FORD DEALER BEHIND ME AND GOT THE VAN THEIR BECAUSE THEY TOWED ME AFTER A $95 DIGNO FEE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY PLANTIEY GEARS AND NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $3200 TWO DAYS LATER THE PRICE JUMPED TO $4200 SO I DID NOT GET MY VAN FIXED YET AND TOWED IT HOME. WHEN I CALL FORD THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I TAKE MY VAN TO MY DEALER IN TOWN AND PAY ANOTHER DIOGN, FEE. THEN CALL THEM. *TR
