TRANSAXLE IS AN AXOD MODEL THAT HAD THE FORWARD PISTON AND SEAL FAIL, RESULTING IN SEVERE SLIPPAGE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT IN THIS TRANSAXLE, AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO FORD SINCE AT LEAST 1994 (SEE TSB 94-24-7). THE AXOD CAME WITH AN ALUMINUM PISTON, NOW REPLACED WITH A STEEL ONE. THE PROBLEM IS THE HUGE COST TO THE CONSUMER TO REPAIR, AND THE INHERENT SAFETY CONCERN OF THE TRANAXLE SLIPPING AS YOU TRY TO MERGE OR TURN ONTO A ROAD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC.
