| 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. if i was able to afford a new car i would send my ford probe to the scrap yard, i would not want a stranger to suffer car problems as i have. but being a full time student who pays her own way i can little afford such costs as new transmissions a new car. i was not surprised to find in my research on-line that many probe owners are not happy with their cars. conversations with mechanics; which have been many, have followed the same pattern, its a ford with mazda parts,get rid of it, everybody has problems with ford cars, their terrible cars. after many expert opinions my question to you is, why? i look after my car,(i bought my car from a dealer who acquired the car from my friend) i now know so much about cars! why are such problematic cars allowed to be sold? why are cars with so little mileage causing so much havic in peoples lives? this is a question that must be investigated and corporations must be held responsible for so much grieve. it is not fair on the consumer and as a government body i implore that you please take a serious and compassionate note of my complaint and complaint from other owners. it is not fair. it is not fair that people have no voice and no one cares to listen. mass re- occurrence of car problems is an issue that must be looked into. my windows rattle too - a noisy probe gift that irritates probe owners. i would greet a response happily in the mist of the realm of car darkness, faithfully, satchya farias. *cb | |||
