Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 FORD EXPLORER WITH 64000 MILES. YESTERDAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE. AND EVERYONE HAD EXACT SYMPTOMS. FORD ACTS LIKE THIS ISN'T COMMON AND PLAYS DUMB TO THE FACT. I STILL OWE $15000 ON A VEHICLE AND CANNOT AFFORD $3000 TO REPAIR. SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND STOP FORD FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CITIZENS. THANK YOU *TR
