Consumer Description

WHILE TOWING OUR HORSE TRAILER THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. IT WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THE ENGINE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED UNDER FORD WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE AND I SHOULD WRITE IN. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE IS A SNAP RING LOCATED IN THE TRANSMISSION, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, THIS SNAP RING POPS OFF , IS THEN SUCKED BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE AND A GEAR, WHICH CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION CASE TO CRACK. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CASE IS CRACKED ON THE TOP. HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE FAILURES. BECAUSE I DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THIS REPAIR WILL COST APPROX $4,500.00. THIS TRUCK HAS LOW MILEAGE (41900 MI). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM OF FORD TRUCKS FROM 2002 - 2005. *TR
