Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I24 WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. OUT OF THE BLUE THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILD FOR 2 1/2 HRS WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. WHY IS FORD WAITING ON SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM????? THIS WILL BE THE LAST VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASE FROM FORD!!!! I WILL BE GOING WITH A FOREIGN MADE CAR FROM NOW ON. *TR
