| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f150 with numerous problems. Now at 82000 miles the transmission is slipping badly. The transmission slips when accelerating and the engine revs until the transmission kicks in. I am afraid when it decides to jump in gear it is going to cause an accident. From what i have read on the internet many other f150 owners are experiencing the same problem with the transmission. Our truck was purchased new but has been in the shop repeatedly for brake problems (7 times), tire problems (2 times), rear end (2 times), broken drive shaft (2 times), electrical (1 time), electrical is starting to have problems now too. We replaced a 98 mazda truck with this 04 f150 because we thought the f150 would be safe and reliable. The 98 mazda, sold to my brother-in-law, is still running great. What a mistake!!!! |
