#721589April 17, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE STARTED NOTICING AFTER DRIVING OUR VEHICLE FOR A SHORT WHILE AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AFTER ACCELERATING IT WILL KICK INTO GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A O-RING OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WILL NEED TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A BULLETIN PUT OUT ON THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS AS GOOD AS OUT. THEY TELL ME THE REPAIRES WILL BE AROUND $800. I THINK THAT IS VERY UNFAIR TO THEIR (FORD/MERCURY) CONSUMERS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT BAD ENOUGH TO PUT OUT A BULLETIN TO THEIR MECHANICS THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED AT THEIR COST! CAN YOU HELP?*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA THE CAR OVERHEATED AND STALLED. A WRECKER SERVICE WAS CALLED AND AUTO WAS TOWED TO PEP BOYS FOR REPAIR. SINCE IT WAS AFTER 5:00 PM THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE ANY WORK ON THE AUTO.MOBILE, OVERNIGHT STAY WAS REQUIRED. WAS CONTACTED THE NEXT MORNING BY PEP BOYS AND TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND THEY DID NOT DO THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS PART OF A RECALL. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR ESTIMATE/REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED UNDER THE RECALL. HAD SERVICE WORK DONE AND PAID $1,250 AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN TRAVELING HOME TO JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. WAS FORCED TO STOP THREE TIMES TO COOL ENGINE AND REFILL RADIATOR. CAR IS NOT REPAIRED. HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE REPAIR PROVIDER IN ATLANTA AND THE PURCHASING DEALER IN JACKSONVILLE. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FORD THAT THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR POLICIES.*AK
