Automatic Transmission · Latches/Locks/Linkages
Automatic transmission shift cable is routed too close to the engine causing the cable cover to melt over time allowing the cable to become loose. This prevents the column shifter from transferring the vehicle into park even though the dashboard indicator is in the park position. *tr

Second window drive failure in 6 weeks. Very loud bang from door (sounds like truck is hit by large rock/hard object) which is very startling, then window glass slides down into door. On the freeway this is extremely distracting and dangerous. The first window failure (one month ago) cost me $430.00 at ford dealer to repair. I was never informed that this was a frequent problem. After second failure in 4 weeks, i…

If this does not engage one cannot lower the spare tire for use. The replacement (ford refuses to pay for)comes re-designed so that one actually inserts the lowering rod into the winch.there is no "star" to strip out…

I was driving when i heard a loud pop! At that point my driver side window rolled down and couldn't be rolled back up. Ford said they would look at it for 200.00 and that was just to look at it. I tore into it myself and found the window regulator to be broken. Ford wants to charge me 198.00 for the whole assembly. This i believe to be rediculous. Also my passenger side window does not want to role up with the…

It was sewn back on by an emergency room doctor. I've had to see an…
