Consumer Description

BOUGHT CAR AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS IT HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAR MAKES A HORRNEDOUS NOISE AND WILL NOT DRIVE FORWARD. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE OR SURGE. TOOK TO TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WHO QUOTE ME $4,250 TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. AT THAT PRICE I ASKED WHAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST AND THEY INFORMED THERE ARE NO NEW TRANSMISSIONS AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT FORD HAD ABANDONED THE FREESTYLE AND ITS CVT TRANSMISSION. I CHECK WIHT JUNKYARDS AND FOUND THE CHEAPEST I COULD FIND A CVT TRANSMISSION WAS AROUND $3,000. CAR HAS BECOME A LAWN ORNAMENT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OHTER THAN TO SAY IT IS OUT OFWARRANTLY. TERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS BROUGHT OVER THIS.
