Description of the problem | I've have the transmission replaced/rebuilt 3 times, meaning this is my fourth transmission. Twice in 1999 alone and both times serviced by coastal ford. I had the engine head gaskets blow, also in 1999, and serviced by coastal ford and i also had to pay for that, which was over $1,400. 00. I just replaced the transmission again in nov 2001 (for my 4th transmission in 6 years). I've replaced the brake abs system and had the brakes serviced repeatedly for new rotors, and other componants (not the usual pad replacement). I've written ford and the local ford dealership several letters over the years and they have never replied to me. I have spent well over $12,000. 00 in repairs on this van several thousand in rental car charges, even when it was a known ford recall and ford would not even cover the cost of the rental. Van always hesitates and engine races and slows while stopped. *ak |
