Consumer Description

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2007 FORD FREESTYLE ARE USELESS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION WAY BEFORE TIME. I HAD A 1996 CAMRY WITH 230, 000 MILES ON IT AND I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION OR THE ENGINE. NOW, I AM LEFT TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT FORD KNEW WAS A BAD PRODUCT (HENCE, STOPPING THE MANUFACTURING OF THE FREESTYLE, REVAMPING THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER PROBLEMS AREAS AND PUTTING IT BACK INTO ROTATION AS THE TAURUS X). I STILL OWE ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR. I KNOW THAT FORD FINALLY DID A REBATE OF SORTS FOR THE POORLY DESIGNED THROTTLE BODY AND THANKFUL I HAVE RECEIVED A REFUND FOR THAT EXPENSE. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR FORD TO COMPENSATE US FREESTYLE OWNERS WITH A HORRIBLY DESIGNED TRANSMISSION? I REALLY WISHED I HAD NEVER GIVEN UP MY TOYOTA CAMRY. I FELT SAFER IN THAT CAR THAN MY FREESTYLE. *TR
