The car transaxle light comes on when going over steep mt. passes. The cars performance then drops and the transmission has a hard time shifting gears. To fix the problem I pull over and turn off the car for a time. The engine does not over heat. I've replaced the transmission to solve the problem and still have the same problems.

This car was purchased new in 2000. The transmission is going out for the third time. The first time - in 2000 shortly after I purchased it. I do not remember the exact year the second time, but here I go again - the third go around 2008.

This car has been nothing but a pain in the ass since I bought it with less then 6000 miles on it I feel certain that eventually these problems will be recalled as every mechanic I've talked to just smiles and says yep thats been a problem for alot of people ...Yippie ford ya definitely make me want to buy foreign

It hesitates into gear going uphill. Worse on rainy days... been driving it like this for 8 months now... once the tranny like comes on I have to pull over and shut off vehicle... once I do that and turn it back on its fine. Also... worse when AC is on... I'm thinking its a sensor... hoping its a sensor! I'm in college and dont have alot of money to pour into this car...
