“The automatic transmission, or related critical component parts, on this vehicle has failed. It was towed to avis Ford about two weeks ago. The service manager, john, was requested to contact the manufacturer's representative to review the problem. Despite daily promises of a call from the manf. Rep, no call has been received, totally ignoring our concerns. A transmission, or related critical component parts, should not fail after 64,000 miles of normal use. Ford must pay all or most of the repair costs of this failure. The manf. Rep must call immediately. …”
