Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE A TAPPING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A TRANSMISSION. USED $2,000 TO $3,000 AND NEW $6,500. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR COULD GO 50 MILES OR 50,000 MILES BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING BUT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS NEVER BEEN FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR AND WON'T FIX FOR ME. WHAT HAPPENS IF MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES? I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR - SO WHAT DO PEOPLE LIKE ME DO? THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM FOR FORD THEY COULD AND SHOULD REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND EQUIPMENT. *TR
