The head gasket failed causing the vehicle to backfire when stopping. Nlm
Transmission failed.
Danger!!!! Almost crash !!!!! --while I was driving on the highway 90 in chicago at 60m/h, the transmission suddenly shut down!! Speed drops immediatelly!! I was surrounded by heavy traffic moving at 60-80 m/p...luckily, before my car drops to 25m/h, I managed to stop at the roadside. What a hell! I can't control the steering wheel, it doesn't move. After 1 hr, I was saved by a tow truck. The car looks good, and has only 64500 miles. What kind of product ford is making! Whenever I thought of that day, I feel I am so saved..
While driving at 65 MPH, the transmission suddenly locked. The '!@#$% quality metal used in the main gear set crumbled to powder. Ford quality scores again!
Transmission failed, costing $2000 in repairs. Now head gasket has failed with estimated repair in excess of $1200. I have not driven this vehicle for 10,000 miles yet. I am now reading about many similar problems with the ford 3.8l engine & drivetrain. I understand that ford has been aware of these problems for at least 10 years & has failed to correct them. I think the whole situation is a disgusting indictment of the lack of caring on ford's part. I will never purchase another ford product & will tell everyone I know about this horrendous situation.
Whiledriving on the highway approached a toll booth, paid the toll, and vehicle failed to move. Engine was very hot. Put 5 quarts of oil in the vehicle. Transmission overheated and the fluid evaporated. Had the vehicle serviced, and no external leaks were present.
Transmission replace per ford dealer recommendation
I bought the car less than a year ago and have paid over a $1,000 in repairs. The day I left the check engine light came on. The dealer re-built the transmission twice, but I'm still having problems. Recently I had full front & back brake job. When I bought the car the brakes were fine. In less than a year I had only 10% brakes left. The day I left I lost all back brakes. A month later it happened again. Now they are saying ford has recalled the anti lock system and master cylinder. Please help.
Transmission was recalled on this vehicle type but we received no notice. Mechanic said recall had "expired" and that ford would not pay for it. Transmission was repaired with genuine ford kit. Is ford co. Responsible for reimbursing me for this repair?
