I have a 2001 Ford Excursions, with only 54,000 miles the transmission is going to have to be overhauled do to a defect that Ford knows about and changed in newer models that cause the automatic transmission skip second gear. I have seen many other people on the internet talk about it but I like most people do not know where to go to make Ford fix the problem.
The automatic transmission shiftsedto a lower gear while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 8/5/2003, who stated the transmission lost power in the second and fourth gears. Please provide details.
While driving, the second gear in the transmission froze up.
Transmission failed and vehicle failed to respond to acceleration. At last incident fluid came out from underneath, causing it to ignite while vehicle was being driven. This would be the third time the gasket seal of the transmission was replaced along with main central valve.
While driving at 40 mph and coming up on a traffic light consumer proceeded to go, but vehicle would not go higher than 20mph, rpms were at 2800. Vehicle was crossing a busy intersection, and could have been broad sided or rear ended. This was a very dangerous situation. Please provide any further information.
When towing boat in hot weather the transmission started leaking from rear seal. Truck was taken to dealer 3 times to remedy problem. Have not towed boat since so not sure if it will return.
