10/09/99 nelson Ford supposedly fixed a problem with the transmission making terrible noise. 11/27/00 transmission locked up at 75mph on I40 in nc. All american Ford replaced transmission and was supposed to be like new. 12/26/00 transmission slipping out of third gear nearly resulting in accident and continues to happen. 01/09/01 wade Ford supposedly fixed the problem. Problem still exists and I am scared to drive the vehicle. I have nearly been involved in several accidents because of this unresolved situation and I am conviced that I will die in this vehicle due to the explained situation.
