Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 FORD F150 5.4 AUTOMATIC W/ 63,000. UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY, AS DEALER STATED, A DEGRADATION OF A BEARING WHICH CAME LOOSE AND BECAME LODGED IN SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I REPLIED TO THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER DOES THIS MEAN THAT WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE WAS A DEFECTIVE PART, HE ANSWERED YES AND GAVE ME THE QUOTE FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND OVER 6,000 CASES OF CUSTOMERS WITH SAME ISSUE( NO TOWING, PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVALS AND DOCUMENTATION, ETC.) YET INVESTIGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED TO FIND SOLUTION TO THE PREMATURE FAILURE. TALKED TO 3 NATIONALLY KNOWN TRANSMISSION REPAIR FACILITIES AND THEY ALSO HAVE STATED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE 4R75W AND 4R70E/W TRANSMISSION THAT FORD IS INSTALLING IN ITS VEHICLES, PRIMARILY WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. *TR
