Component	POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The transmission failed at the same time that the engine overheated due to faulty head gasket . I took the van into koons for "check engine light" and they found nothing, but charged me $500, later, the engine seized and had to be replaced; upon getting my van back with a rebuilt engine, the transmission was not working properly and failed within the week. The aamco dealership told me that a forward clutch thing was not working, but worse yet: the transmission completely failed because it had become extremely hot; in fact, so hot that any internal components that were rubber or plastic actually melted, and the gear teeth became so hot that they changed color to purple-ish and cracked in places. Yet ford refuses to associate the damage to the transmission with their faulty head gasket. Incidently, i have been fully reimbursed for the rebuilt engine, but not the $500 ford 'service' response to the 'check engine' light, or the $2,500 transmission. *ak
