| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Only 28,000 miles on car driven by elderly father a few miles every day for past 7 years. no indication of problem with transmission before this incident. pulled from stop onto state road at point where a blind curve/no site distance for oncoming traffic-speed limit 45 mph. car jerked forward and transmission failed, no forward gears, leaving car sideways across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic. got car to go in reverse to get off road which created an even more dangerous situation for me and all oncoming traffic. told will cost $2,500 for re-built transmission. ford sent standard reply to my complaint suggesting go to dealership and have checked out. amazing that no recall has been issued or anything been done after seeing this and numerous websites with same complaints. so many of us lucky. how many deaths does it take before action will be taken? have been a ford owner for years and will never, ever buy ford again. *ak |
