SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY FORD MOUNTAINEER 2008 TRANSMISSION IS ERRATIC AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE SLIPPING IS TAKING PLACE. BRAKING IS ALSO ERRATIC AS I FEEL A BUMPING WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT FEELS LIKE TO TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO GO. I CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE KNOW OF THE PROBLEM SINCE 2006 AS THE TRANSMISSION USED (6R60) CONTINUALLY NEEDS SOFTWARE UPDATES. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, MOST ALL OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT VERY RARELY WITH THE BASE WARRANTY PERIOD, SO NOW ALL OF US HAVE TO PAY BUT FORD HAS KNOW OF THE PROBLEM EVEN B/4 MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED.........WHAT DO I DO, FORD IS NOT RECALLING FOR THIS A SHIFTING THE RISK OF THE ACCIDENT AND REPAIR TO THE CONSUMER. PLEASE HELP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT MY NEXT STEP MIGHT BE....THANK YOU *TR
