Excursion

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles
Transmission shifts from 1 to 3 due to a defective part. Transmission shop told me Ford switched a part in their transmission after 1999 year and switched it back in 2002. The part the switched leads to this failure. I believe a lot more complaints will be coming in the next few years. We just put a lot of miles due to living in a rual area.
