2002 FORD F-250 Power Train Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD F-250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT A WIRE SHORTAGE AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 215,100. UPDATED 2/3/15*CN UPDATED 8/30/2017*CN

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RETAIL PARKING LOT, I COULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER HAD BECOME UNATTACHED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE BRACKET THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE SHIFT CABLE TO ALLOW SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION, BROKE AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION THREADED MOUNTING BOSSES. THE ALUMINUM THREADED MOUNTING BOSSES CRUMBLED WITH SEVERAL PIECES FALLING TO THE GROUND. THE INABILITY OF PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK ESPECIALLY AT A TIME OF URGENCY IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME. A REPAIR OPTION SHORT OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT YET BEEN DISCOVERED. SEVERAL FORD DEALERS SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. MY MECHANIC WHO IS TRYING TO DEVELOP A MAKE-SHIFT BRACKET STATED HE HAS SEEN MANY CASES ON...

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT OPERATE IN REVERSE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER. THAT DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE CONSUMER TOOK IT BACK TO THE SALES DEALER.
