NHTSA complaint #10021479, filed 2003-06, 2,500 miles“To whom it may concern: my 1995 Ford Probe has had a number of problems including one of the most recent - having to rebuild the transmission's have now owned the car for 20,000 miles or 3 1/2 years and have spent over four and a half thousand dollars on pre-mature problems. The amount does not include general services. The car has now reached 87,000 miles. One does not expect a car with so little mileage to have so many problems.
