ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
THE TRANSMISSION IS CURRENTLY BEING REBUILT. A DEFECTIVE PART ALLOWED TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE RADIATOR, AND RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR MUST BE REPLACED, AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 72,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE AT A COST OF OVER $22,000, I DID NOT THINK ANYTHING SHOULD GO WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO PAY FOR MY AUTO REPAIRS, AND A RECALL TO GO INTO EFFECT SO THAT OTHERS WITH THIS CAR DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE. 100,000 MILES IS NOT UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT A CAR'S MAJOR COMPONENTS TO LAST. *AK
