POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR 3 TIMES ONE AT 95, ONE AT 125 AND ONE AT 200000. I REVIEWED THE RECALL NOTICES ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND THER E ARE 104 PAGES WHICH I HAVE PRINTED OUT. TO DATE, WE HAVE ONLY BEEN NOTIFIED OF ABOUT 5 RECALLS. ON THE RECALL PAGES THERE ARE TRANSMISSION DEFECTS. WHICH WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. OF. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD/MERCURY ON THIS AND TOLD THAT NO RECALLS WERE MADE ON THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE ADIVSE WHAT I SHOULD DO. SHOLD I BRING THIS LIST INTO A DEALER AND DEMAND THAT EACH RECALL BE DEALT WITH OR WHAT. AT THIS POINT, I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR A YEAR AGO BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO KEEP GETTING REPAIRED. THE BODY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND WOULD RUN FANTISTIC IF I COULD AFFORD TO GET ALL OF THE REPAIRS DONE. FOR EXPAMPLE THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HUMMING SOUND FROM THE REAR END, BUT IT IS IN MY IMAGINATION. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I CAN DEMAND FROM THE MANUFACTURER ESPECIALLY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND ON THE LIST OF 135 PAGES. THANK YOU DIANNE M. ARMISAHW. *AK
