Consumer Description

THE COMPLAINT WAS SENT VIA E-MAIL. I RECENTLY HAD A NEAR ACCIDENT WHILE TRAVELING. THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN LOCKED UP AND SLAMMED OUT OF GEAR. LUCKILY I HAD JUST EXITED OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY, AND WAS SPARED A POSSIBLE DEADLY ACCIDENT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD THE SPRAG CLUTCH HAD GONE OUT, AND THE METAL SHAVINGS WERE ALL IN THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD AND AMONG THE REPAIRS SHOPS. THE DEFECT IS IDENTIFIED WITHIN A SPECIFIC 6 MONTHS TIME FRAME OF PRODUCTION. THEY SAID THAT THE NEW FORD REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO FIX THIS KNOWN DEFECT IN THE SPRAG CLUTCH.*AK
