What owners wrote

While driving 100 MPH transmission failed. Engine revved at a high rate. Then, vehicle lost power, and the consumer hit a wall. Vehicle was towed. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Reported at 104,443 miles, June 2004 Crash

Started out as 3rd and 4th slipping, and after babying it for a week of going to work and back home it will no longer hold 3rd or 4th. After doing research it has been found that the 4eat has about as much issues as the pinto (without the exploding). Every owner of the svx and a 4eat has suffered this in one form or another. The legacy's were recalled and repaired, but what about the svx? For a $30-$40k msrp from the dealer, you would assume they would treat these cars with a bit more class in this situation.
