Consumer Description

THIS IS A LEASED CAR. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, BRINGING IT TO A MECHANIC EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR A "CHECK UP" THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS. THE CAR SIMPLY STOPPED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND NOW IT IS COSTING ME $ 3000.00 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED FORD AND BESIDES BEING NASTY AND RUDE, WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD "DO". NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. JUST A DEAD CAR. MY MECHANIC IS HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING PARTS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM VERY ANGRY! *AK
