Consumer Description

THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGER, THE PROBLEM WITH THE PCM ISSUES, THAT SHARE BAD INFORMATION WITH ANY OTHER COMPONENT IN USE, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, LIGHTS, AC SYSTEM, LOW BATTERY OR NOT TURN ON EVEN WITH NEW BATTERY, AND THE WIRES AND CONNECTORS CLEAN. THE MOST DANGEROUS IS JUST STOP RUNNING IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, OR SOME MECHANIC DID NOT HAVE IDEA ABOUT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THE SARASOTA FORD MECHANICS. A FEW WEEKS A GO I LEFT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS, PRESENT IN MY OPINION TRANSMISSION MAL-FUNCTION, AFTER THEY CHARGE ME $140, NO PROBLEMS SOLVED, AND THEY SAY THE TECHNICIAN REPORT : NEEDS ENGINE WORK BEFORE TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS. NEEDS CAM SYNCRO ASSY.(FIX WHINNING NOISE) I AGREE OK. NEED A SENSOR ASY ??????? CONNECT A LITTLE METAL WIRE ON TOP ENGINE (THEY CALL BUSH.....???) AFTER THAT ALL THE PROBLEMS STILL HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. IF YOU HAVE ANY ANSWER ABOUT ALL THIS, OR PLACE TO GO AND GET A REAL INSPECTION AND REPORT. FROM NOW AND FOREVER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR
