Consumer Description

2005 FORD FREESTYLE HAS A CONSTANT SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. WE PAID $ 200.00 FOR FORD MECHANIC TO CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH NEW FLUID KIT & HE DID FIND METAL & BRASS SHAVINGS FROM TRANNY IN OIL PAN. MECHANIC SAYS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH NEW ONE BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $4,000.00 IT WILL TAKE TO DO IT. I FOUND OUT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ALL SOONER OR LATER ,BUT MOSTLY SOONER ; FAIL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR IT . BAD DESIGN FOR THAT TRANSMISSION & THEY STILL ROBBING THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AS I SPEAK ! MAN UP & PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES LIKE THOSE IN SOCIETY MUST WHEN THEY HAVE ROBBED OTHERS AND GOT CAUGHT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT'S LET GO THUS FAR & WHO THEN IS ACCOUNTABLE ??
