| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f250 6. 0 diesel. Started shuddering a bit while going from park, drive to reverse. I found transmission fluid on my garage floor, took the truck to the dealer for repair. 4000 dollars to fix a hole in the transmission caused by identical circumstances involving ford recall 05b27. The mechanic pulled the "oasis" report and found no recall for my vehicle based on the "vin". I have contacted ford with no satisfaction. I was advised to pay for the repair and maybe there will be a recall at a future date, at which point i would be reimbursed. Again, this defect is exactly the same as described in recall 05b27. There is no difference in what happened to my vehicle and what ford tried to stem with the recall. It is an admitted engineering defect which should give cause for an expanded recall. |
