Have had 2 of these 2004 Ford Sport Trac trucks. One which was flipped onto my driver side and totaled in an accident where I was hit doing 25mph down a back road whith a stop sign intersection, no airbags went off the only thing that saved me was my seat belt from worse injures. My current truck which has been well maintained and I still have all receipts for over 5000 worth of work done, recently with over a quarter tank of gas turning left will cut out and die completely in traffic which has almost cause me to be hit a couple times with my child in the car. Also my transmissions went out and lost gears at low mileage. I took my current truck to richards transmission where they told me the Ford sport track transmission normally doesn't last past 50,000 miles that Ford did not machine the transmission correctly which is a known problem in the Ford Sport Trac. Before the transmission started to slip my O/D would kick on and cause severe jerking out of first gear but only while the O/D was on. I could not get it to turn off unless I shut off the engine. I've had my coolant and transmission fluid mix and have had to replace the radiator twice because of this about 3000 miles before the transmission completely lost second gear. I believe Ford should fix this, I enjoy my truck but could have been critically injured a few times due to malfunctioning that Ford should fix.
