Description of the problem | Here we go with dps6 failure #5. Shudder and transmission slip became more severe. So, we scheduled a diagnostic visit to the dealer, parkway ford in winston salem, nc. The test revealed that the clutch needed replacing again. The service consultant told me the reason for the problem was there was a leak in my oil seal. Strange that my personal mechanic did not notice any leak in the oil seal at the previous oil change. This dealership had replaced the oil seal previously. I do not trust anything this dealership tells me. I do not trust ford motor company. I do not trust this vehicle to be able to get me safely to and from the places i must go. This situation has become outrageous. I am reporting these incidents to you at the advice of my attorney in the hopes that the defects in this vehicle might be noticed during the proposed senate investigations. |
