2005 Ford F250 sd had cracked transmission becuase of low/reverse snap ring failure in the 5R110 torqshift transmission. Ford issued a customer satisfaction program 05B27 but put an expiration date on it. The program was not ever for a whole year. Ford is not willing to reimburse or issue a recall when they know this is a problem. The snap ring failed inside and busted my transmission. Alot of people have experienced this problem and there needs to be a recall on this transmission.

A snap ring inside the transmission fails allowing the planet to shift forward breaking housing tabs off causing a external leak of transmission fluid to other vehicles driving down the road, no warning a transmission may lock up causing safety concerns, Ford has recognized the situation before and sent a internal notice to mechanics to fix the problem, no recall was ever sent. Trucks between 90,000 and 120,000 have this problem, Ford said I was first ever complaint, which is a lie, I have found through research early 2004 through 2006 models have this problem of failure without notice. Ford hopes for these to get past warranty so customer has to pay a outrageous sum to fix, so far I have found 40 cases resulting this situation in my area alone and mainly 9/10 are Ford F250S. I seen the internal communication but was denied a copy of it. My service advisor at silsbee Ford showed me. Also this part is not covered under any extended warranty, and Ford denies ever having this problem, the vehicle behind me was showered with transmission fluid almost resulting in a crash because it smeared on her windshield to the point that she could not see. No warning, so sound, I drove another 20 miles before I noticed a major slip in shifting and discovered a leak. The tranny fluid sprayed all over the exhaust pipe smoking and a stench of burning tranny fluid.
