Description of the problem | Transmission was overhauled by a ford dealer in 1997 with a $400 deductible. Transmission failed again in 2002 and was rebuilt. The van is currently in the shop again for more transmission work at the cost of $1995. The transmission failed again while driving. This created a hazardous condition for my children and i. The cost of repairs this time will exceed $2000 at an independent transmission shop. Ford is aware of this problem and has issued a tcp previously. I push for a recall and for ford to offset the cost of several transmission overhauls.*ak |
