Parked my truck at the post office to retrieve mail, got out and shut door, and out of the corner of my eye I saw what I thought as movement of my truck, so I turned around to see my truck starting to roll backwards , I yelled wtf, and started to chase my truck through the parking area, tried to jump in when I opened the door and I was to old and fat to do that, tried push back , but truck was to heavy to do that, so I went for the parking brake pressed it hard and fast as I could, and that worked my truck was in park, as I had my keys in my hand. The park lock on the transmission failed in some way ,allowing to roll like it was in neutral.

Vehicle has 7. 3 liter diesel engine and the Ford 4r100 automatic transmission and 4 wheel drive. Transmission failed at about 88,000 miles despite proper servicing since new. It would intermitently stop shifting in normal use and began to slip badly. Only second gear was still working when I got it to the dealer the next day. The transmission was replaced at my expense ($3500+). The replacement transmission failed in a similar way at about 135,000 miles despite being serviced as required by the dealer. They are unable to obtain a valve body for this troublesome assembly and it has been at the dealer for nearly two weeks. This model of transmission is defective and dangerous especially if you are towing and lose engine braking due to the transmission failing. Ford no longer uses this transmission as it has a high failure rate. The body has rusted through at one of the cab corners and over both rear wheel wells. Ford repaired the rust through once under warranty but the rust throughs continue and have a negative effect on the integrity of the vehicle structure and protection of it's occupants in the event of a crash. A rusted body would not protect occupants as well as an an unrusted one.

2003 Ford F-250 (only 50,000 miles) had major transmission failure. Housing cracked and there is no way to repair. Only option is to install new transmission.

At 85000 miles of very light use my f250 hd model year 2000 with diesel engine had a transmission failure and had to be replaced. If this truck is referred to as a super duty and heavily advertised as such a strong truck why would my transmission fail. Again this truck is used more like a car then a construction vehicle.

Repeated manual transmission failure. Ford replaced my manual transmission on my 2000 f250 under warranty, with about 35,000 miles on it. The transmission again failed with about 84,000 miles on the truck, 49,000 on the transmission, and $4,000 out of my pocket. This truck is well maintained and rarely operated with a load. A second complaint is that I have now taken my truck in for the 100,000 tune up. The dealer informed me the spare tire fell off because the cable holding it broke. The spare tire has never been removed from the truck. This is a serious concern if spare tires are falling off of trucks.

: the contact stated while driving 60mph the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine light illuminated. Upon inspection the dealership determined the transmission failed. After many attempts by the dealer to repair the vehicle the problem still occurs.

2001 Ford F-250 with 55,000 miles. Purchased new. Transmission failure. Ford accepts no responsibilty for the $2,329. 79 repair bill. However, the service writer told me because of some changes made in the parts I would never have this problem again.

1. While driving at approximately 30 mph I experienced a sudden and immediate lost of power with my Ford F-250 with a 4r100 automatic transmission. 2. Transmission failure. Luckily traffic was light due to the off hour, and I was able to egress to the side of the road safely. Potential consequences could have been severe at another time or location. Failure occurred with no warning while vehicle was in motion. 3. I had the vehicle towed to the local Ford dealership for a diagnostic evaluation. The assessment from the dealer was that there was a mechanical failure of the intermitediate one way clutch (mechanical diode style) on second gear which caused the transmission to bind and seize. The recommended fix is either a total rebuild of the transmission or replacement. The dealer advised that Ford had issued a technical service bulletin (TSB 01-13-5) which addresses this problem. According to the dealer service technician and the TSB Ford switched from the sprag one-way clutch on 7/27/2000 to the mechanical diode type clutch up till 3/23/2001. Ford found that the mechanical diode type clutch was defective and switched back to the sprag type clutch in March of 2001. Ford subsequently issued TSB 01-13-5 on June 26, 2001 which advises replacement of the mechanical diode type clutch with the sprag (the old design). This issue applies to all 4r100 automatic transmissions built in the date range above and installed in (per the TSB) e-series, excursions, expeditions, f-150's, super duty f series, f-53 stripped chassis, and navigators. At the time I was in the Ford dealership another vehicle with the exact same problem was also in the shop. Ford is aware of the situation and refuses to resolve the issue. As this failure occurs while the vehicle is in motion and causes sudden and instant power loss there is significant safety issue with these vehicles. How many people have to be hurt, or killed before Ford will stand behind their defective design ?.

Transmission failure; low mileage; no warning; defective equipment needs recalled; I was driving down the highway on my way to work and stopped for construction, upon accelerating my f250 would not shift past 2nd gear. I had to have the vehicles towed to the nearest dealership who told me, before looking at the truck that I needed a new transmission. With no warning signs whatsoever, bam! I have heard from several other f250 owners that their transmissions had to be replaced with low mileage as well. This seems to be a continual problem and I believe Ford knows it! the dealership must have seen enough of these failures to know immediately that the transmission is blown! what can be done to get Ford or someone to take responsibility. I believe a recall is in order or at least have Ford pay the bill instead of their customers.

2001 f250 crew cab, 4x4, auto transmission. Transmission has failed at 36,200 miles. Dealer will not fix under warranty. Was told that a "direct 1-way gear broke, and now there is metal inside the transmission". I believe that Ford knows about this problem and refuses to stand behind the product.

I bought this truck to pull a 5th wheel camper that weighs just under 11,000 pounds fully loaded. We live at the top of a very steep hill and I use 1st gear to keep hold the weight back as we go down the hill. The transmission failed within 5000 miles of purchasing the truck (failed at 55000 miles). Hall Ford service dept. Rebuilt the transmission, which failed again after 1400 miles. They then replaced it with factory rebuilt which failed again after 500 miles. Hall Ford costumer service was exceptional, working with the Ford engineers at the factory to solve the problem. They were told by the transmission engineer that the problem was that you can not use the transmission in that truck to hold back going down a steep hill. Ford never did give hall Ford service dept. An answer that would work. The service department finally decided to allow the mechanic to use heavy duty sk brand parts to fix the transmission and I have had no trouble since. The reason why I have not brought this forward sooner is that I am concerned that the hall Ford dealership not get in trouble with Ford for using non-Ford parts to fix a problem for which Ford motor CO. Clearly had no answer. There were 3 or 4 other trucks in the shop at the same time with the same problem. When mine was a success, they did the same for the other trucks and solved the problem there, too. I am not concerned about my situation unless it comes back, which I doubt. I am concerned to make sure that it is properly documented for others that will inevitably have the same problem - my understanding is that many have.

Transmission failed while driving. When stopping the vehicle it would not move in any direction. Had vehicle towed to nearest Ford dealership in shawnee ok. When the transmission was disassembled the inner pump rotor was broke as well as 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves were stuck. Milage was 3, 822. Nov 13, 2002. On Jan 31 2003 while going to the store the transmission failed to shift into drive or overdrive but would move in first and second as well as reverse. Had vehicle towed to place of purchase walt's live oak Ford where they have stated it would be a 5 days before it could be looked at. Ts.

Veichle was purchased in may 2001. At 36700 while I was on leave in dallas TX, I was exiting the highway I came to a stop at a traffic light. When I attepted to accelerate the transmission shifted from 1st to 2nd tried to go to third then just stayed in 2nd and going back from first to second and kept doing that until I pulled over about a 1/6mile from the light. I check all the fluids and they were fine. At exactly 25500 I had the transmission serviced with a full system flush and a filter changed. After the transmission had failed I was able to get it to the skyline Ford dealership in dallas. They looked at it and said it had kicked out some codes on their "Ford" computer. I had no indication of fail lights in the cab of the truck. When they got the transmission apart they said the failure was a common failure and that they had seen this many times for this year and model, and the transmission internals were no good, the technician picked up a handful of metal shavings from inside the transmission and showed them to me. They performed a full transmission rebuild using the hull of the old transmission. Since the transmission had failed just recently out of warranty they refused to pay for it until I told them I bought the extended warranty at the purchase time of the veichle. Not less than 3000 miles later the transmission went out again. This time I had stopped at a light and as soon as I stopped the truck died so I started it back up went into drive and it died again. I had to get someone to tow it. This time the dealer was mckie Ford in rapid city sd, when they got the transmission off they said the same thing that it was a common failure with Ford transmission with this truck with this particular year model. This truck has less than 2000 miles of towing under its belt. This truck has been taken care of very well both failures were to be blamed on Ford. This truck has never been driven hard and all of the truck remains stock.

Consumer was pulling a 5th wheel camper for 5,0000 miles when transmission failed, due to burnt clutches. Dealer recommend when backing out camper consumer should use low range in 4 wheel drive.

Automatic fails to shift into lower gears for engine braking. When decending a steep grade the automatic transmission fails to apply. This has the same effect of putting the truck in neutral when going down hill. When driving in the mountains this is extremely dangerous in that it requires the brakes to do the work of slowing the truck. If the brakes overheat then the truck will "run away".

While driving the transmission failed. I coasted to the side of the road, turned off the truck and restarted. The truck then moved. I stopped at traffic light and pressed the gas pedal when the light turned green - the truck would not move. After a few minutes the truck moved when I pressed the gas pedal. In the Ford service lot the truck was running and in park - it jumped into reverse. Ford replaced the transmission and took the truck on a test drive. While on the test drive the tech noticed the rear end was grinding. When he took it back to the shop he found the bearings had come apart. They told me a new rear end was needed. Ford has also replaced the electronic gas pedal. They have repaired wiring to correct the windshield washer fluid problem. They have also replaced the radio. I have had the truck in my possession from 12-3 to 12-11. Ea04006 has ifs.

Transmission failure. The 1-2 shift gets to be very mushy, problem could have been caused by heat buildup during towing due to a too small factory transmission cooler.
