 Description of the problemWill it take a fatality before ford is made to recall this transmission? You say you do not need a specific number of complaints to force a manufacter recall . Why isnt something being done? Customer service reps at ford dont even understand, i was told by a customer service rep named nick that "ford must have its own reasons why they have not recalled the transmission" well of course money!! I have had several close calls in my van. It decides to not go into reverse or drive and will slip out of gear. I have to have another transmission installed at around 2grand. Why has nothing been done? This is a reoccuring problem! When someone is killed it will be to late!! Please investigate this problem. I wear my seatbelt, i dont drink and drive but im in danger everytime i drive this van. I just pray i dont kill myself or someone else. The amount of these vehicles on the road is staggering. Anyone one of them could have transmission failure at any time. So next time you see one keep your distance! One more question , would you let your family ride around in a death trap? I think not. Please make ford do what is right. They saved a few bucks by installing an aluminum piston, but they put a lot of lives in danger.
