Consumer Description

IN AUGUST 2010, I HAD THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT ~98,000 MILES. LUCKILY, IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IN OCTOBER 2012, THE SECOND TRANSMISSION AS THE SERVICE MEMBER SAID AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP "THE TRANSMISSION EXPLODED, WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE HOW YOU WERE ABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THIS WAS AT ~146,000 MILES, BUT THERE IS ONLY ~48,000 MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF. TWO TRANSMISSIONS HAVE FAILED IN THIS VEHICLE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE COME ACROSS SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE FORD FIVE HUNDREDS CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILING. I CALLED THE FORD CARE LINE TO REPORT IT, BUT THEY CLAIM THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES. MY CONCERN IS THIS THIRD TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO FAIL AT SOME POINT. *TR
