Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AS IT SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL BY THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND OTHER DEALERSHIPS AS WELL. I HAVE FOUND OUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES THIS DELAY IN THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND IN 4R100 TRANSMISSIONS BUILT FROM 7/27/2000 TO 3/23/2001. I BELIEVE THIS TRANSMISSION TO BE UNSAFE AND FORD DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WANT THIS TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND ALL FORD DOES IS DENY, DENY, DENY.
