Consumer Description

I AM BUYING A 2005 FORD 500 LIMITED WITH AN 6 SPD TRANSMISSION IT NOW HAS 136K MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM CROSSROADS FORD IN MEMPHIS. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED AT 54K MILES. NOW THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE IS STARTING TO SLIP AND STALL IN TRAFFIC. YOU START TO MOVE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT WILL GO SLOWLY THEN JUMP TO ABOUT 4K TO 6K ON THE TACHOMETER AND AT THAT POINT THE CAR STALLS AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE REAR ENDED BY OTHER DRIVERS DUE TO THE CAR STALLING. ACCORDING TO FORD THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY OFFER SELLING YOU A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SINCE THEY BUILT THE PRODUCT EVEN IF THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS GONE. CANT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS ONE IN OR GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED ACCORDING TO FORD THE REPLACEMENT IS AROUND $4600. DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND. *TR
