Consumer Description

THERE APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION DUE TO ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND FOUND THIS TRANSMISSION HAS HAD PROBLEMS FOR MANY YEARS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE (LESS THAN 150,000) AND PEOPLE FOLLOWED THE SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS PER FORD MANUFACTURER. JUST ANOTHER FAILURE OF THE GOVERNMENT NOT PROTECTING THE CONSUMER BUT BIG BUSINESS DUE TO JOBS AND TAXES... I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE PER RECOMMENDATIONS SINCE PURCHASE AT 62,000 MILES. TO REACH THIS MILEAGE AND THIS OCCURS AS IT HAS TO EVERYONE ELSE, HAS BEEN A TOTAL FAILURE ON THIS MANUFACTURER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD OF LASTED A LOT LONGER THAN WHAT I HAVE READ IN MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE... *TR
