Consumer Description

THE IGNITION WENT OUT ON MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY. CHECKED MYSELF FOR SPARK AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS NONE. A LOCAL SHOP REPAIRED THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR OVER $400. A MONTH LATER, IN AN UNRELATED INCIDENT, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND AFTER 4 WEEKS, 2-3 REBUILDS AND $2300 LATER I WAS BACK ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HEARD AND READ OF NUMEROUS FELLOW 1993-1997 FORD PROBE OWNERS REPORTING THESE FAILURES TIME AND AGAIN.
