Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
Premature ball joint failure resulting in extensive repair costs, premature transmission failure resulting in replacement of transmission, excessive oil sludge build up causing loss of oil pressure, possible damage to engine.
Transmission is slipping. The truck has 47,078 miles. Too it in and they told me that I need an entire new transmission or they could repair it for $100.00 less then a factory rebuilt transmission. I don't feel as though a transmission should be slipping with only 47,000 miles on it. The service man told me that it was the front clutch piston was what was the problem. Have you had any other complaints? I feel as though this is unacceptable due to the low miles. I feel as though it is a factory defect.
Fortunetly there were no other parties involved. There was a terrible grinding noise in the transmission when operated at 5 MPH or 55 MPH. Brought to motorquest of wellesley, ma and they diagnossed the vehicle with a dead transmission. The vehicle is used primarily for transportation to and from work at an average of 60- 70 miles /day. We have not used it for off roading and have regular oil changes and servicing done. Isn't it unusual for a vehicle with 45000-46000 miles to need a new transmission?
Vehicle has been through 5 transmissions within last 10,000 miles. Once a brand new transmission is put in it burns right out. Cause is unknown. Please provide furthr information.
Transmission was incorrectly installed at factory, causing sprockets and transmission to wear down. Dealer will replaced transmission under warranty.
