Consumer Description

I WAS COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM GEAR AND THEN FINALLY DID WITH A LOUD CLUNK. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE FORWARD THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN JUMPED INTO GEAR JUMPING THE TRUCK FORWARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IT ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ALL GEARS. THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM AND THAT ONE OF THE INTERNAL SEALS PROBABLY BROKE AND CAUSED A "CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE." *TT
