Bought my 02 sport trac in 04. It had transmission fluid leak repaired by original owner at (20,000 miles) in 03. In 05, at 55,000 miles, transmission fluid leaking in original location plus another. Repaired by Ford and I was allowed a po5 payment program. After 15,000 miles from this repair, transmission fluid again leaking. Torque converter replaced, along with repair to seals. Ford district manager refused telephone contact to discuss. Ford refused accepting responsibility, including financial assistance. Transmission on this trac now has been pulled three times after four fluid leaks. I am still making payments on last repair. Local Ford dealer, upset with my agitation, informed me that at now 70,000 miles, I should expect the need for repairs! ha!.
