| Description of the problem | When accelerating i noted the tranny started to slip, i drive very cautious, not a speedster, i watched the rpm shoot to five and no speed shift, i drove the car for a while hoping it would come out of it, i was driving back and fourth some 4000 miles to work and had little time to get to mechanics finally my wife took it in they said 4 gear was missing in tranny, just getting back to work i had to look up a used tranny because the cost was well over 3000. I found a 2007 used tranny from a reputable used dealer , we place the tranny in at a cost of 700, the tranny itself 475, upon getting car back the tranny is doing it all over again, i am now taking it to a dealership to have it synchronized with computer programing to see if this fixes problem , i am not happy with the recalls on this car but if ford refunds me and fixes i would be satisfied we love ford truck and their products and feel ford does take care of their customers. |
