Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE HAS 72000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON I90 OUTSIDE OF BUFFALO WHEN THE CAR HAD TROUBLE ACCELERATING, IT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF WOLD NOT MOVE ANY FARTHER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. A PLASTIC CAP HAD MELTED INTO THE TRANSMISSION LINES, AND FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIR AT 100%, AS THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
