Jm auto sales at 12248 n. 600 e. Demotte, in 46310, sold me an unsafe vehicle, he assured me that he services all his vehicles before he sells them because he wants his customers happy, when I took the truck to my mechanic he told me that it needs a new transmission, center links, wheel alignment, and exhaust flange manifold, its unfair for this business to sell a vehicle that is unsafe for the road, this should fall under the unsafe and deceptive acts and practices act. If he services the vehicle he would know what's wrong with them and not put them for sale.

According to the mechanic a defective plug in transmission caused fluid to leak out, thus failure of transmission occurred. I was stranded on the interstate at 3:30am, fortunately no accident occurred as the trucks transmission locked up going 65mph. Ford declines any problem with the transmission plug. However, the mechanic mentioned the same problem occurring on other rangers he has fixed. I found (online) other complaints about ranger transmissions. Due to the faulty plugs, a gradual leak occurs, unoticable to the average person. This could become a hazardous situation for those traveling on the interstate or highways, especially if the vehicles engine dies, because the steering locks up when the engine quits. I would simply like for all ranger owners to be aware of this situation. I realize that ford will do little or nothing about this situation, but some good old fashion customer satisfaction would be nice.
