| Description of the problem | While towing our horse trailer the engine stopped running. It was towed to dealer and the engine problem was repaired under ford warranty. They told me there was a problem with the transmission. The mechanic said this is a common failure and i should write in. As i understand it, there is a snap ring located in the transmission, for some unknown reason, this snap ring pops off , is then sucked between the top of the transmission case and a gear, which causes the transmission case to crack. The mechanic said the case is cracked on the top. He has seen many of these failures. Because i didn't buy the extended warranty, this repair will cost approx $4,500. 00. This truck has low mileage (41900 mi). I have been told this has been a common problem of ford trucks from 2002 - 2005. |
