Consumer Description

I'VE READ THAT LATE MODEL YEARS WITH THE AT HAVE EXPERIENCED RANDOM HARD SHIFTS WHILE GOING AT MODERATE SPEEDS. I WAS ACCELERATING GENTLY FROM 35 TO 40 MPG ON A VERY GENTLE SLOPE WHEN I FELT AS IF THE CAR HIT A LARGE BUMP OR RIDGE. CURIOUS AND WORRIED, I TURNED BACK AND RETRACED MY PATH TO SEE IF IT WOULD REPEAT. IT DIDN'T, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL DEVELOP INTO A MAJOR PROBLEM LATER. I'VE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS OF LATE MODEL PROTEGES WITH THE AT THAT THEY MAY ABRUPTLY SEIZE WHILE IN OPERATION. BLAME IS PINNED ON THE FORD-DESIGNED AT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT COULD EASILY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES SHOULD THIS TRANSMISSION FAIL SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC.
