I have a 2002 Ford Escort Zx2.  I purchased it brand new in November
2001. Well, for a while I was putting heavy milage on for about a
12month span... but that is beside the point. 11months after i bought
the trani was slipping and conked out at 17,000miles. It was in the shop
3 times at different dealers and each time they told me my car was fine
and it wasnt slipping.  Then the next day, it broke down couldnt drive
it had it towed. Transmission replaced. At 19,000 miles car idles funny,
be stopped at light would rev up to 3-4000 rpm's for no reason, if foot
wasnt on brake fully car takes off and peals out without foot on gas.
Computer and fan replaced.  At 22,000 miles, my master cylinder went and
my car wouldn't stop, would have been killed if there was a car going
thru the intersection (funny part is it was right infront of the dealer
on my way home from work). At 30,000 miles trani is slipping again
however dealer says no trouble found once again. Off to 45,000
miles..... thermostat breaks, replaced. However i extended the warranty,
best 1,000bucks i ever spent. Now to summer 2004, 50,000 miles trani
goes in to get looked at. Dealer says no trouble found..... i put it in
reverse, i get stuck in reverse won't go into drive unless i restart my
car.  Dealer finds no problems. Bring car in week later, car wouldnt
shift  out of first whole way to dealer. Dealer calls, no trouble found.
LEave dealer, drive home breaksdown on interstate 4minutes later. Gets
towed "Sir your transmission is bad" Spring 2005, 65,000miles car still
has slpping trani, stalls in reverse, gets stuck in reverse. Dealer
can't find problem.   3transmissions in 65,000 miles... im 26 yrs old
and they had the ballz to ask if i do neutral drops like a 16yr old.
Hey they are putting in so much cash in this hunk of shit..... they
should just give me a mustang for free... it would be cheaper
