Over the past two and a half years consumer has been experiencing reoccurring transmission problems with this vehicle. The first incident consumer had the Ford mechanic check on a persistent transmission leak, which was corrected. Afterward the transmission had it's first failure and quit pulling. The vehicle was towed to Ford for repairs. Consumer requested assistance with an adjustment in cost but was declined. The vehicle still loses power and stops pulling for a brief period of time. Consumer traded in the vehicle and requests that Ford reimburse for monies paid.
Consumer stated he became stuck in traffic, he was able to pull over to see if perhaps letting the engine cool off would help, after about one half hour, consumer started the vehicle, but was unable to put it any gear, consumer then noticed what seemed to be transmission fluid leaking onto the ground, the vehicle was towed to the dealership and consumer was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced.
