Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 83, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 60 MPH rpms suddenly went way up and accelerator pedal did not respond anymore. Consumer was able to coast to side of road. Had vehicle towed to dealer, who stated transmission went out. This is a rebuilt transmission installed by ford at 19000 miles when original transmission went out.
After vehicle has been exposed to summer heat shift knob comes off while shifting.
When vehicle is put into neutral it starts to reverse .only way to drive is to put it in drive. Contacted dealer.
Transmission has failed 2 times in 6 months. And the problem is still there the fly wheel now makes noise. The dealer stated that they replaced the transmission. I dont believe they did so. Because of the way the truck runs.
When putting car into park locking pin in transmission does not engage. Therefore, vehicle will roll forward. Consumer has to use parking brake to stop car. *ak consumer states this part fails 95% of the time.
Differential unit broke on two occasions, and been repaired/replaced under warranty by dealer. Problem reoccurred again, and dealer refused to repair due to warranty expiring, but still knew that this was a defective part. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

I started up my truck in my driveway and as I put the truck in drive ii noticed a slight slippage in my transmission, I didn't think too much of it because at the time the temperature outside was about 10 degrees and I assumed it was because of the extreme cold. As I traveled approx. 1/2 mile I noticed as I was accelarating that the truck seemed to not want to go, I was able to nurse it another 1/2 mile to my mothers house where I discovered that the hose popped off near the radiator and poored out transmission fluid. I put the hose back on and tightened it back up and was able to put 6 qts of transmission fluid back in. This seemed to correct the problem and I thought that all was okay, but, I was wrong! On jan.8th ,2001 I noticed that as my wife and I were out that it was beginning to catch hard when I was starting out from a dead stop. Well by the time I got home which was 10 to 15 minutes later I stopped by my mailbox and I was trying to edge up closer and it would not go forward, but I noticed that I could go backwards with no problem. Well I had to have it towed to a transmission shop and he told me that I probably burned out the "bands" in the transmission and it could cost me anywhere between 800 to 1700 dollars for repair depending on how many were burned out. Thats where I,m at now and is there anything I can do to get ford to help me, ha,ha!
Transmission failed at 48000 miles.

I reported transmission problem to dealer, but they found nothing wrong.
When car was shifting it banged down to a lower gear, like it was down shiffting when accelerating. Took to dealer 3 times, and they couldn't duplicate the problem.*ak when vehicle down shifts from high gear to lower gear transmission sups and bangs.
Extended cab version; driveline came bent from factory. This caused vibration. Parts were on back order. Did not know when parts will be available.
It feels like it keeps surging, and when you press on the gas the engine doesn't rev up like it's supposed to
Gear shift indicator snapped in nashville, tn on crosscountry trip from arizona to maryland, stranding us 36 hours in nashville. Gear shift indicator would not go into park. Cable fixed, but it must have taken out our alarm system and steering wheel locking mechanism. Steering wheel will not lock unless you yank it 900 to the right or left. Koons ford in annapolis, md, told us this was "normal" on the locking problem, and that four other vehicles on their lot do the same thing. '!@#$%. We now have an appointment on sept 1 for them to repair the locking mechanism after my daughter called them this past wheel completely unable to unlock the steering column. Ford service is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.
When driving at 30 MPH vehicle shifted into low gear causing a brief loss of tire traction. Also, vehicle jerked forward very hard, and brake lights had malfunctioned. Consumer has contacted tdealer.
Vehicle was parked in front of garage in first gear with emergency brake not on. Vehicle was found in the garage still in gear. Contacted manufacturer.
Had to replace trannsmission at 60,000 miles.
In cold weather, a 2-3 slip detect occurs on moderate hills at low acceleration. The first two times the truck was inspected by dealer, I was told the problem was the external transmission sensors, and the slip detect code was removed from the vehicle computer. Problem is re-occuring as the weather warms up, but slip detect code not being stored in computer. I've referenced tsb 99-9-6 (the federal safety agency item sb606428) to dealer, but have been told that the tsb is irrelavent and the transmission pan will have to be dropped to inspect the internal sensors at a cost of $1,200. Please (if possible) send me the full text of tsb 99-9-6 and/or the federal safety agency item sb606428 so that I may use it as back-up upon my next visit to the dealer. I will also let them know that I've filed an issue report here at the odi. Regards, eric slan

Vehicle loses power and changes gears sporatically, dealer replaced torque converter and torque clutch solinoid but this did not fix problem. Have heard other f150 owners complain about same problem.
Consumer took vehicle to dealership more than three times for transmission, and dealer said the problem were the brakes. The transmission has been taken out, and the brakes were repaired three times.
Ninety percent of the time I have to force gearshift into 2nd gear. Now, after 11 months going into third gear occasionally grinds. This is not only very aggravating, but dangerous as well. Cars with automatics have to slow down suddenly because I'm trying to get into second gear without clashing the gears anymore than necessary. I took it to the dealer and of course they said all was well. I even went through the hassle of going to another dealer, driving 2 more identical trucks, and they did the exact same thing except for the 3rd gear problem. The clutch seems to be ok, so really the only thing left are the synchronizers. Problem doesn't seem to be changed by temperature or any other outside influences.
Transmission slips between second and third gear at 40-43 MPH. Dealer contacted, and stated problem is intermittent and cannot remedy problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Consumer put vehicle in reverse and heard a noise. Vehicle began to roll forward into traffic, consumer learned that the rear driveshaft broke in april 98. Also, in jan. 99, while consumer slowed down to make a turn, the left front torsion bar broke, the frame dropped, damaging the upper control. Consumer will provide VIN# when received.
