Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had a ford dealer perform the 60,000 mile service, which included changing the transmission fluid and filter. Within 2 weeks, the transmission did not shift from park to reverse / drive when shifted to that gear: quite a few seconds would pass & then the transmission would grab with a bang. When checked, the fluid was black and smelled burned. Had the fluid changed again. Within a few weeks, we developed forward clutch failure and had to replace the transmission. Prior to original ford transmission service at 60,000 we had no problems of any kind. …”
