| Description of the problem | I was driving down the hwy when my wrench light came on. All of a sudden, i lose power and can't get past 45 mph and the tachometer goes into the red. I shut off the car, call a tow truck and have it towed to the ford dealership. They did a diagnostic and said the my 2 and 4 gears are gone and that i would need a new transmission to the tune of $7200. The car only has 89,000 miles on it and after researching online, i found that ford has been having issues with this particular transmission. |
