Description of the problem | We took vehicle in for recall repairs at ford dealer. When we drove it home on city street at 35 mph the rear of the car started shaking and transmission fault light came on. The dealer said it was a bad rear drive shaft bearing. It needs to be repaired as it is a safety issue and could cause an accident when driving. The cost of repair was $500. After the repair we drove it home on city street at 40 mph the transmission fault light came back on. Ford dealer said it could be a shift solenoid repair for $500 if that does not work it would be a torque converter repair at a cost of $3500. It needs to be done as it is a safety issue and could cause an accident when driving. The car has 40000 miles and is in excellent condition. |
