Description of the problem | The transmission put itself into gear from park in the garage as i was getting out the drivers door injuring me and damaging the garage wall and the van door. After pressing the brake to stop the movement, found car in park and all tested all gears - they all produce reverse. Showed the wife. Went to videotape the failure, but had to turn the car off to get the recorder. When i turned the car back on the problem was magically gone! I am in the process of trying to reproduce the problem with the video running. Please help the citizens of this country. Ford is hurting this country, its citizens, and probobly has killed a few because of this problem. I was lucky. Don't let this turn into another tire thing. Do something now! P. S. This is the second tranny replaced by ford and the second engine replaced by ford.*ak |
