The transmission and torque converter failed. Nlm
Overhauled transmission, replaced torque converter, seals, overdrive service, clutches
Transmission shifts whenever it wants:65mph with cruise on or any other time just driving around town.
Transmission light stays on while driving. The dealer has been notified.
They replaced transmission 9/98, 2/99 I'm told I need a new transmission, my vehicle repeatedly loses power when driving, I've also been told that the clicking noise in my engine is a ford defect , but ford tells me I'm not covered because I didn't purchase a warrenty. A 95 ford explorer w/48000miles should not be having these problems. I also have a 91 and 93 explorers, a 73 ford ranchero(with original engine & transmission) and 83 ford conversion van and have never had any problems. This situation has really discouraged me from ever buying another ford product.
Due to the defective computer system, for which there is a service bulletin, transmission malfunctioned, causing vehicle to stall while driving. May result in an accident.
Transfer case malfunctioned ,causing the 4-wheel drive system not to activate cause unknown. Please give any further details.
The transmission is currently being rebuilt. A defective part allowed transmission fluid to leak into the radiator, and radiator fluid to leak into the transmission. The radiator must be replaced, and the transmission rebuilt. I only have less than 72,000 miles on the vehicle. I did not purchase the extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle because at a cost of over $22,000, I did not think anything should go wrong with the vehicle. I would like ford to pay for my auto repairs, and a recall to go into effect so that others with this car do not have to go through the same experience. 100,000 miles is not unreasonable to expect a car's major components to last.
Rear left door lock - cannot be opened from inside vehicle; 2nd failure; fixed 1st time by dealer at approx 30000 miles;;; transmission failed; o/d blinking; 3 planetary gears busted up;;; bad ground - rt headlight, rt turn signal, and high fan not working properly
Clutch hydraulic slave cylinder failed 3 times, but vehicle not driven off road or harshly. Most mileage has been high speed use over interstate highways from here to florida or northeast pennsylvania, without excessive shifting. First failure, 12/31/97, I was told slave cylinder failed when clutch pedal went to floor after a reported prolonged period of squealing. The squealing occurred as clutch pedal was being depressed. Dealer repaired it, sharing the cost, since it was only after 2/12 years old. Second failure, 03/04/98 after squealing noise again developed. Clutch assembly rebuilt. Subsequently, at each service visit, I reported the return of the squealing that preceded other hydraulic failure. 01/21/99 slave cyl. Failed again. I learned from the service manager that he had a the federal safety agency tech. Service bulletin, bc2301970501, in his possession since nov. Of 1997, preceeding the first clutch failure. This tsb advised replacing the slave cylinder lip seal with a newly designed one. The dealer did not do this the two times he replaced the slave cylinder, now it's failed again, and leaks. Who knows if it will fail again while driving, causing a loss of control? Thank you for your time and assistance.
Od light started flashing at approx. 41,600 mi. Was told by dealer listed above that fault codes indicated internal failure and best advice was to replace transmission - replace trans at 41,600 !!!!!! Vehicle purchased from private party, great service records provied including transmission service at 41,158 by jackson ford mercury in jackson, ca.
The dealer tried to sell me an extended warranty for $1500.00. I did not want it. Less than two months and 3000 miles, the transmission failed...the cost to repair it is $1400.00. To me, this seems oddly coincidental. I have tried to find any manufacturers defects with this transmission. I would appreciate any information concerning this matter.
