Consumer Description

I WAS MADE TO BELIEVE THAT FORD AUTHORIZED FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED AT 80,000 MILES(SEE PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION COMPLAINT ON THIS VIN). I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE ONLY WORK THAT WAS DONE WAS A FORD AUTHORIZED REPAIR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER, AND NOT A REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION AS THE REPAIRING DEALER RECOMMENDED. AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 130,000, AND IT HAS AN INTERMITTENT JERK WHILE GOING FROM 0-20 MPH. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, ALONG WITH ANOTHER INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO. IT'S MY BELIEF ,SINCE THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT 80,000, THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2005 ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR
