Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION AND POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU). THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHIFTING AWKWARDLY SINCE 10,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. A MECHANIC AT LARRY H. MILLER FORD, IN LAKEWOOD CO, RECENTLY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT OR SHOULD BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. AT 87,506 MILES THE PTU WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,692.26. THE PTU CAME ORIGINALLY WITHOUT A DRAIN PLUG AND WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SERVICE. REPLACEMENT PTU DOES HAVE A DRAIN PUG. I BELIEVE BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND PTU ARE DEFECTIVE DESIGNS AND NEED TO BE RECALLED.
