problem #2

2003Jul 01

Taurus SE 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,000 miles

3 months after I replaced the transmission the engine started a knock in the crankshaft again i contacted ford company in Texas, planet ford dealership in Houston Texas, ford dealership in the US Virgin Islands and they did everything to repair the car and did not honor the warranty agreement all they did was gave the run around. After all the problems with this car I decide not to anymore and did not here from ford until this month 4/2008 they are trying to sue me for a little over 9,000.00 dollars that I owe them but the car still park since 2003. I spent 4.000.00 down payment for this car paid 5,900.00 in monthly payments plus what I spent on the car to try and keep it running during 2003.
