What owners say
Was driving vehicle and noticed smoke behind vehicle. Pulled to side & checked underneath. Noticed transmission was leaking fluid. Had vehicle towed to dealer & was informed by mechanic vibrations had set up in the transmission bushings & that a new transmission was needed.
Transmission went out. Also, the two front tires keep blewout without prior warning.
The consumer has been experiencing problems with transmission. When taking vehicle to the dealership to get inspected under recall number 97v204000, dealer stated that the transmission needed replacing. The transmission failure is affected by the defect mentioned in recall # 97v204000.
At 33836 miles the transmission went out and they the dealer replaced it,again at another 34000 miles the next transmission goes out and now the dealer says that because of the over all miles combined that they will not fix it. On top of this ,its a lease and im needing to have it fixed before jan 1999 and I have no way to pay for this out of pocket and when I talked to 1-800 ford they said its not really there problem they just make sure that the dealers do the warranty work they are to do. Help!!!!!!!

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: all wheel drive passenger minivans. These vehicles can develop powertrain bending resonance or transfer case output shaft bushing displacement. The powertrain bending resonance or the output shaft bushing displacement can result in structural failure of the transmission and/or transfer case. Fluid explusion, driveshaft separation or loss of vehicle drive can result.
- Risk
- This condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, and, if the expelled fluid contacts the exhaust system, a vehicle fire could occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new transfer case rear output shaft bushing and an aluminum driveshaft will be installed.
