: the contact stated while driving 55mph, the check engine and over drive light illuminated. Afterwards, the engine stalled. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road where it was restarted however, the lights remained illuminated. It was driven to the dealership which determined the torque converter and the transmission needed to be replaced. Updated 05/03/06.
4r100 automatictransmission on 2001 Expedition with 45,700 started leaking transmission fluid. Mechanic found front bushing that was worn out and stated that bushing looked to have 150,000 miles on it rather thatn 45,700. Oviously a defective part. After replacing bushing, seals gaskets, bearings and torque convertor and a bill of $860 I still don't know if car is reliable or not.
I am being told my Expedition transmission needs to be rebuilt. Originally (two weeks ago) was told it was a torque converter, and noticed no differece after spending $885. 00. After taking car back in, I am being told transmission needs rebuilding. Total cost is $2200. 00, champion Ford says Ford will pay 1700. 00 I need to pay an additional $300. 00. Seems odd that a transmission goes out at 44,000 miles; we don't pull or haul anything.
