What owners wrote
The automatic transmission, the magnetic balls in the valve body cause the vehicle to jump out of gear while driving. Tt
I noticed immediatly after buying this car that the transmission slipped that was 11/98 it took several calls to the dealer and a coarse of a year for them to finally fix it. Second time I brought in to shop replaced whole transmission that was 12/99. Now in 6/03 the transmission is starting to slip again. Also had recall letter about head gaskets, ford refused to work with me on replacements, had to be replaced out of my own pocket.
