| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was entering the outerbelt at cleveland avenue & i-270w, and as i started to accelerate the car got up to about 45 miles per hour on the entrance ramp and the speedometer started to slow. i had my two children, whitney age 8 and brittany age 15 in the car with me. this could have been a terrible accident, but i realized that something was wrong. i spent about $1,600.00 on a used transmission and the owner explained to me that dealers make the transmission to only last about 3 years, so they can either charge you to replace it or take your car from you if it is financed, because for the most part it is difficult to come up with that kind of money on short notice. fortunately, i was able to pay for the repairs and the car was paid off the next month. i do believe that the ford dealership needs to do something about those transmissions. i also believe that the windstar is not the only transmission problem. someone needs to look at all the transmissions on the ford cars.*ak |
