2001 Ford F-250 SD transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2001 f250 crew cab 4 x 4 auto transmission. Transmission failure at 49,000 miles. Driving along at 45 to 50 miles an hour and transmission loses 2nd and throws/snaps passengers forward. Vehicle has not been off road, all miles are highway. Vehicle has not pulled anything. Ford said they could not repair only replace transmission with a rebuilt transmission for $3100. I had a local transmission repair shop make repairs for $2200. They were told by ford when ordering parts that the one-way clutch that failed was a new design in 1998. Parts were not available since ford had since gone back to pre 1998 design. This is clearly a "latent defect" that ford is/has been award of. I am asking ford to stand for the cost of repairs or will refer to counsel to file a deceptive trade practice claim against them.
Nar 02/28/2003 mr the consumer experienced with the gears going out shift.
My truck's hydraulic clutch system has failed twice now. Both of these times it prevented me from disengaging the motor and the brakes would not stop the truck. I was almost in an accident as a result of this both times. The dealership has repaired my vehicle both times at no cost, but my concern is that if this causes me to have an accident and kill someone, myself included, who then will be responsible? In my opinion this is a serious safety issue due to the fact that the defect renders the truck unstoppable. The first occurance, the truck only had 1200 miles on it. The second one was just recently at 20,900 miles. I've only had the truck approximately twenty months. That is ridiculous.
Consumer was traveling on highway, and there was transmission fluid leaking from under vehicle. Also there was a fire under hood, in which consumer believes started with the transmission problems prior. *ak consumer had problems with transmission, the first dealer could not duplicate the problem, consumer decided to take the vehicle to another dealer for the second opinion, while on his way to the dealer, vehicle caught on fire.
