Consumer Description

IN APRIL 2003, THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 95 FORD EXPLORER WENT BAD. THE PROBLEM PRESENTED ITSELF BY THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT COMING ON AND BLINKING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS REPLACED BY COTTMAN TRANSMISSION. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF A "MODULE" IN THE TRANSMISSION. AS OF JULY 17, 2004, THIS "MODULE" IS CONTINUING TO FAIL CAUSING THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT TO COME ON AND CONTINUOUSLY BLINK. WHEN DISCUSSED WITH COTTMAN, I WAS TOLD THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THE DEFECT OF THIS ITEM BUT WOULD ONLY CONTINUE TO REPLACE IT AND NOT REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. SINCE I AM A HEAVY INTERSTATE USER, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL WHILE SPEEDING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JB
