I really don't know where to begin but, to say that I need to somehow speak to a Ford sales person regarding the car. Since I purchased the car from the dealer in 1998 with only 18,000 miles on it, it has been in and out of the auto shop dealer auto shop for many things with this car...I spent quite alot of money to fix the complaints and made numerous complaints but without success. The company that sold me the car is no longer in existent and promises to replace certain parts didnt come through because of the closure of the business.. this car has cost me alot and I can't seem to get any answers to the situation. The company has gone through 4 service dept managers caring for the car and yet, they still didnt fix the problem during the time of warranty and now that there is no warranty they closed business...the biggest and major problem with this car since I have obtained the car was the transmission and torq converter and I want to know if there is any other complaints about this model...please help me...thank you. No safety defect listed.
