2004 FORD F-250 SD Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

2004 FORD F250 6.0 DIESEL. STARTED SHUDDERING A BIT WHILE GOING FROM PARK, DRIVE TO REVERSE. I FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. 4000 DOLLARS TO FIX A HOLE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVING FORD RECALL 05B27. THE MECHANIC PULLED THE "OASIS" REPORT AND FOUND NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE BASED ON THE "VIN". I HAVE CONTACTED FORD WITH NO SATISFACTION. I WAS ADVISED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND MAYBE THERE WILL BE A RECALL AT A FUTURE DATE, AT WHICH POINT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED. AGAIN, THIS DEFECT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 05B27. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND WHAT FORD TRIED TO STEM WITH THE RECALL. IT IS AN ADMITTED ENGINEERING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD GIVE CAUSE FOR AN EXPANDED RECALL. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING WILDLY. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED AND TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING UP AND DOWN AGAIN WITH A SERIOUS LOSS OF POWER. VEHICLE WAS LIMPED UNDER ITS OWN POWER BACK TO THE DEALER WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING AS IF IT WOULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. DEALER FOUND AND REPLACED A SOLENOID AND WIRING HARNESS SHORTING TO THE TRANSMISSION PAN. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

DT: CONSUMER HAD HAS RECALL WORK DONE ON 2004 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY. THE FIRST RECALL WAS IN APRIL ON THE TURBO BRACKET. DEALERSHIP PUT THE BRACKET ON THE TURBO CHARGER ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP DID NOT TIGHTEN THE HOSE BACK, AND ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT. THE SECOND RECALL WAS ON THE REAR PLANETARY THAT WAS MANDATORY RECALL. THE DEALER TRIED TO FIX THIS, BUT THE OWNER WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIR WORK. HE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED TO BADLY. THE NEXT RECALL WAS THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, AND CURRENTLY THE TRUCK WAS DYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AFTER IT WARMED UP. CONSUMER TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE HE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND THEY COULD NOT WORK ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE CONSUMER HAD WORK DONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. CONSUMER TALKED TO A REGIONAL MANAGER, WHO SAID THAT...

THE CONSUMER PURCHASED A TRUCK FROM FORD BECAUSE OF A REAR CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT. IT WAS A MISREPRESENTATION OF WHAT THEY WANTED TO FIT AN INFANT CHILD INTO.
