Consumer Description

WE WERE ON VACATION IN AUGUST, 2001.ODOMETER WAS APPROX.7,000MI. COMING DOWN A STEEP, WINDING ROAD IN THE SIERRAS WE PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN LOW GEAR ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THERE WAS NO EFFECT. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED THE PROBLEM AND SAYS IT IS A TORN GASKET. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB # 14405 ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEFECT BUT SAYING THEY DON'T HAVE A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE DEALER WILL CHANGE THE GASKET BUT IT MAY FAIL AT ANY TIME. WHAT USE IS A TRUCK THAT WE CAN'T HAUL ANYTHING IN WITHOUT RISKING OUR LIVES?*AK
