| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 36,150 miles (150 miles over warranty) the transmission on my 2000 ford escort failed completely. it would go forward on all gears, including park and reverse. then, it would not go into 2nd without manual shifting of the automatic shifter. the dealership appears to be trying (note: appears) to get factory participation, however, when i contacted ford national customer service, they declined support as it was past warranty. reading other ntsb complaints, this appears to be a common problem with ford escorts, they appear to be designed to last exactly through the warranty period and no longer. that's a terrible testimony for american automobile manufacturing. *la |
