Transmission cooler plugged up. Local transmission shop told me this was a very common problem on Ford trucks. This could have been prevented had we known of the problem. We could have put an after market cooler on the truck. Now, I was informed that it will cost me over $2000 to fix Ford mistake. The warranty has expired because of time, not milage so I guess I am stuck. Please help.

According to service tech at doersch Ford in green bay wi, they have replaced several transmissions on these pick up trucks. He also said Ford knows that this transmission was not strong enough for the diesel motor, and they have since redesigned the entire thing.

Dealer claimed when we purchased this vehicle that it had an airbag restraint. However according to my owners manual, it should have an SRS marking on the center of the steering wheel. It does not. It also has an airbag indicator light on the dashboard, that should light up whenever the ignition is turned on. It dosent light up. I checked the fuse panel diagram to locate the fuse. It clearly indicates a fused location for the airbag circut. However upon examining the fuse panel, the entire section where the airbag fuse should be, is not there. Leading me to believe that it has been disconnected. I also know for a fact, that this vehicle has been in an accident. I found overspray on the moldings on the drivers side of the vehicle, and a 4X4 decal on the drivers side is missing from the rear panel. I truely believe that the airbag has been deployed, and it was not replaced. My owners manual says that it has one, but the evidence suggests it does not. I feel that if the dealer has purposely mislead us, and is knowingly compromising our saftey. He should be fined or his license should be revoked. I am also furnishing this information to the nys attorney generals office/ used car lemon law. In addition to this is my ongoing transmission problem with this vehicle that I previously reported to you. Thank you.

The vehicle has had transmission/and or electrical problems since it was purchased. Every few weeks the engine computer picks up a troubled code. The code is tcc/or torque converter clutch failure.the vehicle then goes into safe mode, and runs on predetermined values set by the engine computer.the transmission shifts extremely hard during this condition.(automatic E40D). The dealer has been notified, and has failed to correct the problem. I have taken the vehicle to 2 transmission shops, and they cant find anything wrong with the transmission. Since this has been an ongoing problem, my next course of action is to seek relief under the used vehicle lemon law.
