“The events leading up to the failure: daily, highway and city driving in normal traffic conditions. Vehicle has approximately 19,000 miles. The transmission failed and requires a complete swap for a new transmission. The dealership performing the repair commented that the transmission pan shows wear of a transmission with 90,000 to 100,000 miles instead of 19,000 miles. The correction to the failure is a complete removal and installation of a new transmission by Ford.”
