Description of the problem | While driving at city speed in elkin, nc, the transmission fault light came on and the vehicle stopped. Here i am stranded in traffic. Not the safest position to be in. I shut the vehicle down and restarted it in the hopes that this might reboot the fault and solve the problem or at least let me get to a dealership. The transmission fault light was still active but i was able to move only in first gear. The transmission would not shift. I was able to get to the ford dealership in elkin, nc where they were able to diagnose the problem. The transmission module of this wonderful dps6 transmission had failed. They had a transmission module in stock so a repair was made. I dread every time i have to get into this vehicle. I worry if i am going to get to my destination safely. I worry if i am going to get home safely. Ford is making every delay possible to slow down the legal process. |
