Consumer Description

GOT STUCK IN THE SNOW AND ICE FEB.2011. LOW GEAR IS OUT ON MY TRANSMISSION AT 67,000 MILES ON MY 2008 FORD FOCUS. I THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED RIGHT. I'VE BEEN A "MOTOR HEAD" FOREVER UNTIL THE COMPUTERIZED MOTORS CAME OUT, I KNOW MY CARS, MOTORS AND TRANIES, THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND I AM CALLING FORD TOMORROW, FEB. 14,2011, AND HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THEM. I FEEL THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ESPECIALLY SINCE I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD TRANY PROBLEMS ALSO. *TR
