POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN THE PAST 5 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR 3 OR MORE TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S JUST A FAULTY PART. I FEEL THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO EXCEPT THE FACT THAT I HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. I PLAN TO CONFRONT THE DEALER ONE MORE TIME BEFORE CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY.

THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE PULLING A 12,000 POUND FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. DRIVER USED THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS WAS DUE TO A FROZEN BRAKE CABLE. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AT OWNER'S COST. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE NEW IN DEC. OF 1993 AND HAVE HAD 7 TRANSMISSION FAILURES. SOME OF THESE FAILURES HAVE CREATED SITUATIONS OF TRANSMSISSION FLUID BOILING OUT OF DIPSTICK TUBE AND DROPPING DOWN ON EXHAUST. VERY GOOD POTENTIAL FOR OIL FIRE WHEN TRANSMISSION FLUID BOILED OUT AND VEHICLE WAS SMOKING FROM FLUID DROPPING ON EXHAUST. HAVE CHECKED WITH ATRA {AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REBUILDERS ASSOCIATION} AND THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION{E4OD} HAS BEEN VERY TROUBLESOME WITH HIGH FAILURE RATE. CHECKING WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES AND INVESTIGATIVE COMPANIES THAT INVESTIGATE VEHICLE FIRES TO SEE IF THERE ARE MANY FIRES RELATING TO THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN FORDS TRANSMISSIONS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1989 THRU 1997.
