1999 MERCURY VILLAGER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WHEN MAKING TURNS EITHER TO LEFT OR RIGHT, VEHICLE WILL MAKE NOISE INF RONT AND REAR, LIKE GETTING HIT.*AK

I REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT THE AUTO TRANS MAKES A "CHIRP" NOISE BETWTEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR. THEY INITIALLY DENIED A PROBLEM. I RECENTLY CONFRONTED THE DEALER WITH SB613610 AND THEY CLAIM THAT OPERATION AND DURABILITY ARE UNAFFECTED BY THIS NOISE. YET THEIR OWN INTERNAL DOCUMENTS REVEAL THAT VEHICLES MADE AFTER 5/19/00 WILL NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHAT DID THEY DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN NEWER VEHICLES? WHY ARE THEY UNWILLING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN EXISTING VEHICLES? YOUR ASSISTANCE IN INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
