I have not misused the car and I have performed all of the scheduled maintenance on the car. At 75,263 miles reverse disappeared. Needless to say a I need a new transmission. The cost of the work out weighs the value of the car. $900.00 for one out of a junk yard, not rebuilt and about 1000 in labor. I contacting Ford regarding the problem and informed them about the widspread transmission problems with the Probe. They are in denial about this issue and have informed me that their is currently no program in place to help me. This model car is a money pit, avoid it!

I purchased this puppy brand spanking new, and I have loved every day with it. Good acceleration; smooth looks (for its time); and very comfortable interior. Rusty sunroof and crappy service from Ford (for standard maintenance) are the only detractions. I wish Ford had continued this model.
