Consumer Description

AFTER A MAJOR RAIN STORM, TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD START, BUT WOULD QUICKLY STALL. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. DID NOT HAVE REVERSE GEAR. GARAGE TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. DID HAVE A RECALL NOTICE TO REPLACE A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT DIED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET SCHEDULED. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE PCM BOARD GETTING WET. TOWED TO A FORD GARAGE FOR REPAIRS. HOPING THAT I GET TREATED FAIRLY. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD PAY FOR ENTIRE REPAIR BILL - NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW PCM BOARD - AFTER ALL THEIR FAULTY PARTS WERE THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE! NOT ABLE TO 'POPULATE' ABOVE "AFFECTED PARTS". *TR
