FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Bryan First Place/Texas Avenue at Dellwood/Member FDIC Ford transmissions being investigated United Press International WASHINGTON — The govern ment today warned the owners of an estimated 9 million Ford cars and trucks that there may be a problem with the automatic transmissions which could cause the vehicles to slip into reverse while parked. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it still has not determined whether such a de fect exists. But it said based on its initial investigation it is issuing a consumer warning that owners of such cars should take precautions when they are parking. Involved are an estimated 9 mil lion cars and light trucks 1970 through 197S models equipped with C6 or FMX automatic transmis sions. “The NUTS A has reports of 770 accidents 259, injuries and 23 fatalities allegedly caused by au tomatic transmissions jumping from “park into “reverse gear,’ the agency said. “Precautions to be taken include turning oft the engine, pushing the gear selector all the way to the park’ position and pulling on the selector lever without raising the lever to make sure it is secured and setting the parking brake,” it added. “Vehicles should never be left unattended with their engines run ning — or even for the brief period it may take to leave a vehicle to close a garage door, make a pickup at a store or check the mailbox at the end of your driveway,” it said. NUTS A also said it wants to hear, preferrably in the form of a detailed letter, from owners who have had tic) problems. They are asked to«« including the make, model anj hide identification number of dash board to NHTSA, Waski D.G., 20590. "We are pursuing this nw tion on a priority basis and pL complete it in the vet} nearfm said Joan Claybrook, head of agency. “’But at this time we wantij port that a problem may exist; tween the park and reverse itions on the transmission selector system, leading the i to erroneously believe the tran,, sion is in park,” she said. "There ican tendency to slip into rnenc because of engine vibration ora the closing of the door, ifthetn mission is not firmly engaged in park position.” Tarleton State s fine arts center running behind building schedii Construction on Tarleton State University’s new fine arts complex is now 30 percent complete and be hind schedule, according to a spokesman for the Texas A&M Uni versity System.
