Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A FORD F-250 HD CREW CAB LARIAT NEW IN 2000 (2001 MODEL). AT 52829 MILES THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. THE REPAIR TICKET STATES THAT THE ONE-WAY CLUTCH FAILED RESULTING IN THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. FORD INSTALLED A FACTORY REBUILT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR 3552.97$. AT 110,000 MILES THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED. FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THERE MAY BE AN INHERENT DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION AND INSTEAD BLAMES THE PROBLEM ON THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF WARRANTY, OR OWNER NEGLECT, OR ANYTHING THEY CAN COME UP WITH. AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DESIGNED TO MATE TO A 7.3 LITER DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD LAST MORE THAN AN AVERAGE OF 55,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS EITHER KILLED OR MAIMED BY FIRE FROM A FAILED, LOCKED-UP, OR LEAKING TRANSMISSION.*AK
