Automatic Transmission problems of the 2002 Ford F-150

My 2002 F-150 supercrew 4x2 with 4. 6lv8 experienced a failure of the automatic transmission on Saturday at only 75k miles. The result is a rebuild/replacement for >$2000. 00! I don't tow anything with the vehicle and it isn't abused. This type of failure is very premature! the truck has been very well maintained. My mechanic says there is a history with this transmission in the Ford trucks/SUV's having lubrication problems. Ford should step up and take responsibility for the design defect!.

In my case there were three separate occurrences where my spark plugs shot out of my engine. The first time it happened on the highway cruising along about 70 mph. I actually thought I blew a tire. This was at night so in the morning I checked it out with a friend's help and saw the plug sitting right where it wasn't supposed to be. So we went and bought a new plug and coil pack and threaded it back in and believe it or not it stayed there and still is there today. This first time was roughly 3 1/2 yrs ago. The next time it happened while my same friend was driving my truck to his house but this time it was a different plug and we weren't so lucky threading it back in. The threads were stripped out so we helicoiled it back in ourselves and it is still there today. This second time was roughly 2 yrs ago. The last time happened in a parking lot right as I started my truck up. The plug actually hit the underside of the hood when it blew. So again I bought a new plug and coil pack and luckily it threaded back in again. So now I am very gunshy naturally everytime I drive it. To properly correct this problem it would cost a small fortune and to sell it as is who will buy it. Also on this same vehicle my transmission blew at 39,000 miles when the warranty ran out at 36,000 naturally I was told there was nothing they could do. That cost me $3,500 and a week stranded. I had to have a new transmission installed at a dealership. The truck is a f150 harley davidson edition. It now has roughly 94,000 miles on it. The dates are all approximate along with the mileage when they occurred.

2002 Ford F-150 traveling west on highway 40 in arizona. Recall notice received on the cruise control initial failure cruise control on. Engaged maintain speed button vehicle started accelerating. Punched all of the cruise control buttons and tapped the brakes cruise control turned off. Confirmation turned cruise control on and hit maintain speed button. Vehicle started accelerating as before. Hit all of the cruise control buttons and tapped the brake. At 85 mph, I turned off the ignition. Immediately turned ignition on. Cruise control was active, motor raced, but transmission was in neutral. Shifter was in drive. Turned off ignition again and cruised to the left side of the road. Started vehicle and proceeded without using cruise control recommendation transmissions should not shift into neutral unless the operator places the shift lever in neutral. Previously owned Fords from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s do not disengage the transmission when the key is turned off.

Dt: contact states his car rolled backwards and hit a man pinning him between two trucks. The car was locked and parked at the time. He immediately got in his vehicle and started it and pulled the car off of the man. He reports having no problems of this kind prior to this incident or since this incident. Updated 12/07/05/.

My 2002 Ford F-150's tranny completely broke at 35,000 miles 27 days after the 3 year warranty was up. I don't haul or pull anything with this truck. We are having to put a factory rebuilt tranny in it as we speak.

I brought the truck on June 1, 2004. A few months after I brought the truck it started giving me problems. I tried talking to the dealership but they were no help at all. I have tried talking to them plenty of times. I have took my truck to an mechanic an they told me it was a transmission problem . I don't know what to do the dealership is no help at all. Their warranty policy is a fraud they do not keep up with it. I am tired of this situation. That's the reason I want to cancel the purchase of this car.

While driving consumer heard noise coming from the front of the vehicle when accelerating.

While driving the vehicle, the transmission bolt came loose and the fluid went out, causing pull out road. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information:: mr.

Transmission does not shift down, jerks when you accelerate.
