39 Transmission Failure problem of the 1998 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 07/04/2004

The transmission in my 98 F-150 failed at 36400 mi and 36 months. Ford, the dealer and I split the cost of repair. Now, approximately 36000 mi and three years more and the transmission has failed again. Dealer recommends that I purchase a re-manufactured trans for $2200. Odd coincidence that the same transmission failed at the same mileage and time. Vehicle is used for transportation and is rarely used to tow or carry loads. Both incidents happened with the vehicle in drive and moving forward at a very moderate rate in a parking lot.
