Consumer Description

ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT TRANSMISSION LETS GO. REVERSE WAS THE ONLY GEAR THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE IN. I HAD TO BACKUP OFF THE FREEWAY TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. MY WIFE JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE LAST MONTH FOR WORK BECAUSE IT HAD LOW MILES. NOW IT WILL COST US MORE TO FIX IT ($2500) THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. AND WE JUST SPENT A SMALL FORTUNE REPLACING EVERYTHING IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM BESIDES THE MASTER CYLINDER AND LINES. AFTER RESEARCH, APPARENTLY FORD WAS AWARE THIS TRANSMISSION HAD ISSUES BUT CONTINUED TO INSTALL THEM. THANK YOU FORD, I ENJOY TAKING IT UP THE KAZOO EVERY TIME I HAVE BOUGHT ONE OF YOUR VEHICLES. *TR
