Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 28169 MILES(1/19/99 - 18 MONTHS AFTER DELIVERY), AND THE REAR AT 42407 MILES(11/19/99 - 28 MONTHS AFTER DELIVERY). IN MY 41 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS KIND OF FAILURES THAT FAST. USUALLY THESE FAILURES OCCUR AFTER 10 OR 15 YEARS. I SUGGEST IT WAS A PART FAILURE, BUT FORD WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIRS, BECAUSE I HAVE GONE BEYOND THE 36,000 WARRENTY. I THINK FORD SHOULD SHOULDER SOME OF THE $1700.00 COST, AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE. THEY HAVE DECLINED.
