Another car adventure...

So, our "new" car is a 2005 ford focus.  Well we have to take it into the shop because it is an automatic and it keeps wanting to shift gears at the wrong time.  We purchased a year warranty on it so it really isn't a problem.  We called the dealership to ask what we do and they said that we might first want to call a ford dealership to see if it is still under manufacturer warranty.  Before we bothered to call the warranty company themselves.  Well, lo and behold it is still under warranty until Monday!  We were able to get an appointment on Thursday so hopefully, it will be smooth sailing.  We had checked with a mechanic to look it over and they said there was a problem with the gear box.  It really just sounds like something needs to be tightened, but how lucky is it that we have 4 days left on the manufacturers warranty!
