1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2011

2004 Ford f250 6. 0 diesel. Started shuddering a bit while goind from park, drive to reverse. I found transmission fluid on my garage floor, took the truck to the dealer for repair. 4000 dollars to fix a hole in the transmission caused by identical circumstances involving Ford recall 05b27. The mechanic pulled the "oasis" report and found no recall for my vehicle based on the "VIN". I have contacted Ford with no satisfaction. I was advised to pay for the repair and maybe there will be a recall at a future date, at which point I would be reimbursed. Again, this defect is exactly the same as described in recall 05b27. There is no difference in what happened to my vehicle and what Ford tried to stem with the recall. It is an admitted engineering defect which should give cause for an expanded recall.

I own a 2004 Ford f250 diesel crew cab 4x4. We have the lariet package along with the camper and off road packages. Current miles are 3600. Ehaven't towed anything behind this new truck yet. On Sunday Aug. 1,2004, my wife was driving and noticed that the transmission would not shift into overdrive. The tow/haul light on the dash was flashing. I took the truck to mike davidson Ford the next morning Aug. 2,2004. They dropped the pan off the transmission and found metal shavings along with a bad sensor. The truck is still in the shop. I wanted to know if other new Ford trucks equiped the same way were having simular problems. The dealership said this was a rare condition for this type vehicle.
