Four problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1996 Ford Crown Victoria. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I entered my vehicle and started it I attempted to place the transmission into drive. The selector lever just hunted but could not find the proper gear. I had my vehicle towed to my transmission repair shop: jim jennings transmissions, 601 eastern blvd. , essex, MD, 21221, 410-686-6700. They informed me that a retainer bolt had fallen from beneath the dash that supported the transmission selector cable housing. They also stated that this had become a common problem with this type of vehicle. The fix was to replace it with thread locker.
The transmission fluid in my car is no longer red but a muddy color. The clutch plates are chuddering when the car shifts into over drive and lock up,once the car shifts the transmission is in and out all the time.
Vehicle shifted to reverse at hwy speed,locking rear wheels causing accident.
Automatic transmission rolls backward after releasing brake pedal, due to design.
