| Description of the problem | It happened to me on wed april 13, 2011. Driving along step on gas, rpm? S rise but my 2004 ford freestar van wasn? T going anywhere. The van has only 91,000 miles on it. My transmission shop said there where two problems, first the main seal on the transmission failed. It warping which caused the seal to tear, secondly the main shaft from the transmission to the torque converter would not come out of the torque converter. He stated that both of these issue are factory defects. After spending $3,175. 00 transmission is totally rebuilt. Ford should pay for this. Does anybody out there know how to attach pictures to this class action lawsuit? If you do please put post here how to post them. I would like to post the pictures of the problems that my transmission shop took. |
