Bought car brand new in September 2001. Automatic transmission needs replacement at 43,000 miles (June 2005). No recourse as warranty only covered me for 3 years/36,000 miles. This is too soon for a transmission to fail. Although the car is automatic, I could feel the car lose power as it shifted automatically from 1st gear into 2nd gear. Took the card to Ford dealer who told me it would cost $3,000 to fix. I am appalled!.

Bought the car in 12/02 and in 7/04 almost when the warranty is over the transmission failed. I was driving on the street and my car hesitated to go when I pressed on the gas pedal, when it finally grabbed the gear it jerked me twice. The following day it died on me and it would drive or go on reverse. It's been on the dealership 3 times since 7/04 with mileage of 33,000. New car warranty is over in 12/04 or 35,000. Not a good car. It's been discontinued. No wonder.
