1994 Ford Probe transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I would like to report the failure of the cd4e 1994 transmission. There is only 113000 miles on this car and the transmission should not have gone out. I would like help in paying to get this well known problem repaired.
Transmission failed. Only 2 weeks after spending nearly $600 on replacing the front axles, the transmission totally failed. I was driving down the road at 35 MPH and felt a slight jerk. After which, the car wouldn't kick into gear. I managed to make it home, but when I tried to take it back to the shop, the car wouldn't move. I have been told that the cd4e transmission was designed to fail. I've been told this by multiple people, including one ex-ford mechanic. He also used the term "throw away car?! I usually get rude looks, or laughed at when I mention that I need a automatic transmission for a ford probe. Help me! My car has been undrivable for nearly 7 months.
Consumer having transmission problems with the vehicle. Nlm
O/d light blinking- computer error reports gear ratio problem. Technician reports that ford had major problemwiththe transmission, requiring redesign of pump and other parts. Ford ran out of parts andopted to redesign. Ford now replaces transmission with a rebuilt one rather than attempt repairs, per ford technician. Thus, ford acknowledges a poor design but requires owners to bear burden of $2,000+ cost. Whom do I contact at ford?

Car would not accelerate, and it would jerk, and never switch out of first gear.
Transmission freezes; vehicle won't move forward or backward when in gear. Od light flashes continuously on dashboard. Computer indicates a failure with the vss speed sensor. Part was replaced but the vehicle is still not operating properly. Car moves foward in reverse; moves backward in drive. Dealers claims there is nothing wrong with the car. Car was brought in under warranty with 10,952 miles. Dealer refused to replace the transmission.
This car was taken back to dealer while still under warranty with transmission problems. They said it was fine. One month after warranty was up automatic overdrive would not dis-engage and transmission was overheating. Dealer let car sit for over 10 days and did nothing. Took car to different repair shop. They said short term memory was wipped out, needed overdrive warning light to come on again in order to get code. Took car and drove for a long distance. At that time the transmission overheated causing loss of speedometer and massive fluid leak while driving 65 MPH. Advised to immeadeatly stop driving car as it could catch on fire. Vehicle since fixed twice buy a different dealer. Dealer stated that notch was missing out of transmission piston from the factory. Transmission also had numerous other problems and total repair cost 1,328.58. I have since been told (to late) that there are several bullitens out for these transmissions.
Vehicle started swerving around when driving., mechanic contacted and diagnostic test was run. Stated the transmission was gone. Dealer contacted, no warranty. Problem cannot be duplicated.
While driving consumer heard some funny noises coming from the vehicle. Parked the vehicle and went into the store. Came back to start the vehicle and put in reverse and then into drive, and the vehicle wouldn't go anywhere due to the drum gear unit being cracked. Ford aware of the problem, but didn't provide any help. *ak
