ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:SOLENOID
ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS OUR VEHICLE HAS SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR WHEN RUNNING AND COULD NOT BE UPSHIFTED OR DOWNSHIFTED. THE ONLY GEARS AVAILABLE WERE 2ND OR REVERSE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SOLENOID TWICE AND THE TC MODULE ONCE. THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING WRONG AND THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE ANYTHING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IF THE CAR WAS SHUT DOW AND ALLOWED TO COOL FOR AN HOUR OR MORE IT APPEARED TO RESET AND OPERATE PROPERLY FOR A WHILE. IF THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME AFTER RESET THE PROBLEM CAME BACK.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE TRUCK HAS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE TRUCK TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY BETWEEN 52 AND 67 MPH. THE DEALER GRAHAM FORD IN DICKSON LOOKED AT THE TRUCK AND WILL ONLY REPAIR THE TRUCK IF I BUY THE SERVICE KIT AND PAY LABOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND THAT THEY HAD TO BUY BACK A TRUCK THEY SOLD NEW ON ONE OCCASION. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN SUPPLIED THIS DEALER A KIT WHILE UNDER DEVELOPMENT TO SEE IF FIXED THIS PROBLEM. THIS VIBRATION CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BECOM DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVE IN THE ABOUT SPEED RANGES.
