Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MAKE A STRANGE SOUNDS (WHIRLING). PROBLEM ORIGINALLY THOUGHT TO BE A WHEEL BEARING BUT ENDED UP NEEDING A TRANSMISSION COSTING ME $3100. DEALER (SLOAN FORD IN DOWNINGTOWN) WAS INCOMPETENT. I ENDED UP REPLACING TRANSMISSION AGAIN IN MAY OF THE SAME YEAR. GOT NO SATISFACTION FROM FORD. ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 30000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION AT 54000MILES. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT A RECALL ON 1996 TRANSMISSIONS (I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS RECALL) I AM VERY CURIOUS IF THIS COULD BE THE REASON FOR THE TRANSMISSION'S SHORT LIFE. *AK
