I purchased a used vehicle from redefined auto sales located in skokie, il on 3/11/17. Since then I have spent over $1500.00 in cost for repairs on this vehicle, beginning with I had to get the oil changed the same day that I bought the vehicle because the change oil required light came on as soon as I exited the expressway, I almost got into a serious accident on the expressway in route from the car dealership because a motorist tried to cut me off and that is when I discovered that the horn was not working. The next day the power door locks stopped working and things just has went down hill since then, the vehicle is in the shop right now as I'm typing this, I have not driven the vehicle anywhere other than back and forth to repair shops. I filed a complaint with the bbb but nothing was done about the complaint because the business responded saying the vehicle was used and I rejected the response and then received an email from the bbb saying that the case was closed. This vehicle was a lemon with a lot of issues and none of those issues were disclosed to me when I purchased the vehicle.

While driving to work one morning all I here was ding ding ding od/off started flashing . Sec later check transmission light came on now when I drive putting foot on the paddle to go it will idle up I release and it will shift n go. Aamco saying that I need a rebuilt tranny that's bs with all what I have been reading it's just a rip off I don't have $3500 to get this fix. Now seeing not once not twice so many complaints I read that people paid for 2 or more tranny for the vehicle's and nothing is been done about it. And the ford deals knows about it..... Do a human being has to lose their life before ford dealer's can own up to there responsibility? If they was in our shoes they would want the same thing vice verse they say u reap what you sow. Please please please help up just fix our transmission that's all.. Another thing ABS light stays on check engine light stays on the seat belt light stays on all my windows doesn't let down now wtf?

While driving the "od" light started flashing and the vehicle would not shift from 2nd to third gear. It would just rev up. If you let off the gas it would usually shift into 3rd gear. I was going to try to check the fluid but couldn't find the dipstick. I checked the manual and found out there is none. When I checked online for help I found all the other complaints that were exactly like mine. It is very disappointing that ford will not issue a recall on this obviously poorly designed transmission. This is a very expensive part for an owner to replace and is a safety issue as you could lose the ability to accelerate at a critical moment. With as many complaints as I am seeing online there should definitely be a recall. I hope it doesn't take somebody getting hurt or killed for action to be taken.

I recently decided to be #teamford....unfortunately I'm disappointed. My truck now has the o/d light flashing excessively. The truck goes in to 3rd gear but thumps & goes down into 2nd & then 1st. I was told the repairs will run me about $1800. I really wish I would've stuck with chevrolet. .... I've used google to see is anyone else having this problem....& yes they are. Ford should really own up to this & fix this problem our do a recall. This is sad. Boy do I miss my chevy.....

While driving at around 35 MPH the o/d light started flashing, error message check transmission and check engine light stayed on. The vehicle started shifting erratically from a start then had problems shifting into gears. I brought it to my mechanic and decided to change, clean and flush transmission fluids. This did not solve the problem. I then went on line to find cures for this problem at ford motor co web site and there was no information there . I searched the web for similar problems and came up with over 500 complaints with ford blazers' and mountaineers 2002 through 2004 transmission related problems with the same symptoms..5r555 solenoid pack. I found a company that claimed the problem is the transmission 5 solenoid pack needing a up grade and this should solve the problem through USA industries in bay shore ny. Purchased this oem ford upgrade packet, installed this miracle part and the problems were still there. Now USA industries doesn't want to hear about refunding my monies even though I am still in the refund time limit.. Hopefully ebay will resolve there poor customer relations issue. Ford claims I need to have a complete transmission replacement at approximately $2500.00. I spoke to several ford certified mechanics and they told me that ford is aware of this issue but are hesitant to issue a recall since there have been no deaths.. Can that be for real????? Is anyone else ready to stand up to ford for a recall demand on our cars??

Vehicle was parked. After starting the vehicle, with foot on brake pedal and parking brake released, I attempted to shift from park into drive and the gearshift broke off in my hand. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership and I am awaiting the estimate for repair costs. This is my second ford SUV to do this after 80k miles. The repair have been going for around $1300 or more.
