[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743435, member: 60724"] Caymen said: It's Ford that is screwing people, not people that resell the vehicles. Note that Chris M said the vehicle has low miles. I had a Ford tranny on any '04 Merc Mountaineer that had chronic problems. I am sure it was still a ticking time bomb when I got rid of the vehicle, off lease. If companies sell crap, you buy it, realize it is crap and you polish the turd to resell it, don't blame the last guy that sells the polished turd. Chris, I am glad that you have some noble sense of not wanting to pawn this off on someone else. But there is an old saying about not spending good money after bad. I stand by my recc: IF you can get the problem to go away with a low cost "fix", then it would be my recommendation to get rid of the vehicle, as it is probably a sign of a protentially recurring problem that will be costly down the road. That's one of the #1 people get rid of used cars...because they start to see having to put big money into them. I'm going to sleep good tonight. My conscience is clear. TJR [/QUOTE]
