Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-250 SD TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT HIT A BRICK WALL. IT WOULD ONLY DO THIS WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF 2ND GEAR. POWERSTROKE WITH A 4R100 TRANSMISSION. DEALER STATES THAT THE DRUM OR "MECHANICAL DIODE" HAS WENT OUT, SO THEY REPLACED WITH A "SPRAGUE DIODE", AT A COST OF 1500.00. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS "MECHANICAL DIODE" BREAKING DUE TO FORD USING BAD PARTS. I CALLED FORD AND ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT WAS DENIED. TRUCK HAD 64,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT IS VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ABOUT THIS DEFECT, BUT FORD SEEMS TO DENY IT. THE DEALER WAS VERY GOOD TO WORK WITH AND IS THE SAME DEALER THAT I HAVE DO ALL MY SERVICE WORK. *NM
