Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
Transmission and brake failure/lock-up on a vehicle that has been "babyed" and meticulously maintained is outrageous. I cannot get ford motor co. To return my calls. I can only imaginr what kind of horrific accident would have occurred if we had been driving at highway speeds. Dealer's shop also had a 95, 97, & 98 crown vics. W/ transmission failure. I suspect ford is trying to cover up a defect.
While driving vehicle lost power/stalled. Also, transmission failure.
Transmission failed.
Automatic transmission failure, erratic operation of the auto transmission. Tt
