3 Carburetor problem of the 1996 Ford Contour

Twice the transmission failed on the freeway and had to be completely replaced even though the car was 1 and 3 months old. The dealer was extremely rude and I promise I will never purchase another Ford again and neither will anybody that has heard my story.
