Consumer Description

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER OD LIGHT IS FLASHING. FROM MY RESEARCH , THIS IS A COMMON WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS PULLING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WHEN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED.
