Description of the problem | Driving home from a 1hr trip turned in to a 3hr tip home. Rpms going up to high and speed drops. Like pulling a big lode. Had what sounded like a winning or racing sound. No lights came on no shaking or ruff ride. Would be like this for a bit then run fine for a bit then do it agen. Stopped checked fluids all fine. Got home and ran to parts store put it on the read out. Noted then od blinking but no cods for trans axel came up. But yet the book says that is a tran axel mal. They guy hit reset and the od stopped blinking. Put it in shop and they can not figure out what is wrong they got no cods. For the trans axsel. Told me to come get it they spent to much time on it as it is. Ya 45mins. Out of one day. All they did was drive it and seen it was doing what i said. Thats is to much time. But feels it has to be internal trans.$45 for that. Now will have to take it to a ford dealer $80 for them to see what it is if they can and then fix what ever it is and god knows how much it will be to fix. I am sure i can not afford it. I am left with a car. This is messed up. Fords are a mess. And people like me pay for it. I have had one prob. After another and have only had it for 2 years mom had it before that for about 6 years. She had the serves engine light come on and stay on for a long time but shop found nothing wrong. It went off one day don't even know when. It is now on again. |
