Description of the problem | While driving on a level four lane road (at 45mph), the car shook and transmission started slipping badly. Luckily i was close to home. Changed the transmission fluid and only got 4 miles down the road afterwards and it shook violently and the transmission completely went out. Had the car towed to the dealership and told us the tcm (transmission control module) was bad and replaced it since it was covered under fords 150. 000 mile extended warranty but after replacing that they done more tests on the car when they said the whole tranny also had to be rebuilt. Ford extended the warranty to 100,000 miles on the parts in my tranny but mine had 13,000 miles too many to qualify for be covered. So now i'm stuck paying $2500 plus taxes!!! I paid $6,000 for the car and 1 week later, i have to pay almost another $3000. I've always been a ford lover but not after this. I'm done! |
