Complete transmission failure by model year
What owners say
After taking my 2000 ford expedition for a routine transmission service and brake job at al packer west in royal palm beach, fl, the transmission went out approximately five to seven miles from the dealership where it was serviced. I had it towed back to the dealership. In order for them to repair it, I was told I would have to pay $529 after I had just paid them #300 for the routine service and brake job. I live 35 miles from the dealership, and drove having no problems with the transmission. When I picked it up; however, my transmission failed. After researching with other mechanics, I feel that it was their error and their products liability insurance should have covered the expenses.
Vehicle started stalling at 24000 miles. Vehicle has stalled numerous times at any speed. Taken to dealer 9 times. Dealer replaced transmission and PCM module, did not remedy the problem.*ak the fuel pump, fuel pump sensor and processor have been replaced, however the problem still exists.
Consumer states that when starting up the vehicle the vehicle tends to jump forward and/or jump into neutral when comping to a stop. On seperate occasions the vehicle has hit other vehicles and also has hit people walking in front of the vehicle. Nlm dealer replaced transmission but problem still exists. On a separate occasion, the vehicle was involved in an accident, causing the air bag light to come on. Consumer states there is a bad odor coming from the A/C unit. Dealer drained A/C unit, but problem still exist. Consumer states that rear window is leaking.
Transmission went out at approx. 4000 miles. Ford replaced transmission under warranty, but ford will not acknowledge transmission problem with expedition. I feel transmission should be on ford recall list. I know of numerous other expedition owners who have had to replace their transmissions. I also have an engine acceleration problem, which ford has acknowledged is very common on the expedition. They are supposed to fix it on 8/27/01. Ford tech. Told me it is very common problem and they may have a recall on it. (the acceleration problem.
