| Description of the problem | My overdrive gear got wiped out. While driving the truck i got up to 30 mph and the engine started to rev up real bad and would not move. The truck has 65,000 miles on it and was not beaten on at all. Just one month past the extended warranty and ford won't honor the warranty or extend it. From what i am reading this happens a lot to the 2004s. The next vehicle won't be a ford.. I suggest that no one buys a ford truck as they will have the same problem. My fathers 2006 had the transmission go out at 55000 miles. This is obviously a problem that ford needs to own up to. |
