#708333July 7, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 55-65 MPH IN A HEAVY RAIN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY QUIT PULLING. IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. BY TURNING THE OVERDRIVE OFF I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME IN SECOND GEAR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SATCHER MOTORS FOR REPAIR. THEY REPORTED THAT THE THIRD AND FOURTH GEARS HAD WENT OUT. THIS TRUCK HAS NEVER PULLED A BOAT OR TRAILER AND HAS NEVER HAULED ANY HEAVY LOADS. THIS WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. I CONTACTED FORD AND TALKED TO THEM TWICE BUT THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE REPAIR BILL WAS $1322.80. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, AS I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH FORD TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS AT THEIR EXPENCE. *AK

MY TRUCK WAS INDEPENDENTLY DISGNOSED TO HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS DISCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 98V161000. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID THAT MY VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND...I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM ON THE EXACT VEHICLE OF THE RECALL AND JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, FORD CAN GET OFF WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. IF IT IS THAT EASY FOR THE MANUFACTURERTO GET OFF PAYING FOR SAFETY RELATED DEFECTS, THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN! *AK
