"takata recall" when putting gas in my car the fuel leaks out before the gas gets into the tank by fuel filter. And the steering column makes a popping and winding sound when steering wheel is in use driving the car.
On 08/18/2008 my mother took her vehicle to sunnyvale Lincoln Mercury dealership [408] 732-7000[she purchased the vehicle there] because she was having problems getting the transmission to go in gear using the gear shift handle on the steering colomn. The dealership [invoice 24804, gabriel medina] said the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle drove o. K. It was just hard to go from park to drive. My mother is 86 years old and lives by her self. I feel strongly that she was taken for a ride and cheated out of $2,611. 93. She was never told as to why the transmission needed to be replaced, she drives a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 17,352 miles on it. All oil changes and service work was done at the dealership from day one. Now the transmission is missing. Her warranty coverage for the transmission is her receipt from the dealership. There was never a problem with the shifting of the transmission once she got the gear shift handle to go to drive. So, if there is a problem with the linkage from the steering column to the transmission, why did the transmission have to be replaced?.
