Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT 91000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE VALVE SOLENOID AND REPROGRAM COMPUTER DONE BY FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 TO 3 MONTHS AT WHICH POINT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. IT WOULD STALL AND THEN SHIFT REALLY HARD WHEN COMING UP TO SPEED WHICH RESULTED IN A JERKING OF THE CAR. ALSO WOULD JERK WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP. I HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT SINCE I CAN NOT SPEED UP WITHOUT IT JERKING AND I COULDN'T SLOW DOWN FAST WITHOUT IT JERKING AND WANTING TO JUMP FORWARD. I HAVE PUT AN AFTERMARKET INLINE TRANSMISSION FILTER IN AND HAVE TO CHANGE THE FILTER AND FLUID EVERY 2500 TO 3500 MILES. WHEN I DO THIS IT HELPS FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THEN IT ACTS UP AGAIN. I KNOW THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND I WILL EITHER END UP IN A CRASH OR HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY. *TR
