| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 200 MILES A WEEK, AND SITS FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN AT ALL. IT JUST WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. WAS NOT GOING FAST AT THE TIME BECAUSE WE HAD JUST STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN WE STARTED DRIVING IT HAD NO POWER. *NM |
| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE | TRUCK WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT (NO PROBLEMS). NEXT MORNING, I STARTED THE TRUCK. IT SOUNDED LIKE A LAWNMOWER TRYING TO START WITH A LOUD "POPPING" NOISE. SMELT RAW GAS VAPORS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. TOOK TO FORD TO FIX. THEY QUOTED ME $3200 REPAIR JOB BY REPLACING A CYLINDER HEAD. I REFUSED AND TOOK TO A (FARTHER AWAY) TRUSTWORTHY MECHANIC TO PUT A THREAD INSERT INTO SPARK PLUG HOLE AND USE A HELICOI FOR APPROX $400. FORD REFUSED TO DO THREAD INSERT REPAIR, AND WANTED TO SELL ME SAME PART THAT BROKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. *NM |
