Consumer Description

MY 2001 FORD ESCAPE HAS A CD4E TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PROBLEMS. IT BURNED UP AT 60,000 MILES WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN WITH REGARDS TO THAT MODEL. ONE WEB SITE REGISTERS 25,000 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD, THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT KEPT COOL ENOUGH AND THE MAIN SHAFT RUPTURES. THE TIME TABLE IS ALSO CONSISTENT. FORD TALKS TO ME AS IF THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. HOW CAN THEY REPLACE 25,000 OF THE SAME THING AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL I MENTION IT TO THEM? THE COST TO ME IS $3,031.00. THIS IS FAR LESS THAN THE IMPLIED LIFE OF THE PART, IN MY OPINION, AND THOSE OF EVERY TRANSMISSION PERSON I HAVE TALKED TO. *JB
