## Narrative
The transmission went out of gear and wouldn't stay in the correct gear.  I had the vehicle towed to Fuller Ford on W 8th Street in Cincinnati Ohio.  They said the entire transmission had to be replaced and that there wasn't a recall affecting my VIN number.  I paid to have it repaired.  Eight months later, there was an electrical fire under the hood and the vehicle was towed to Rocky Top Ford in Tennessee.    I feel both of these issues should have been covered by recalls.
