Consumer Description

I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, RETURNED IN 30 MINUTES, STARTED RIGHT UP, PLACED TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE, HEARD AND FELT A LARGE BANG, WHINING NOISE FROM ENGINE, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I DROVE IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP, REPLACED THE COMPUTER, RECODED, REFLASHED, NOTHING WORKED. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. NEW TRANSMISSION ESTIMATE IS $7000.00...FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FLAWED DESIGN...I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN MY GARAGE, OTHERS WERE NOT SO LUCKY. PLEASE DONT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE'S FAMILY IS KILLED BEFORE YOU FORCE A MUCH NEEDED RECALL ON SOME SERIOUSLY BAD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. *TR
