[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743441, member: 60724"] Caymen said: Okay, now we are at a difference of opinion on what "knowingly defective" means. As I said, we had an '04 Ford with the infamous tranny problems. It was adjusted and the solenoids replaces at 11k, 19k and 28k (note 8k to 9k intervals). Each time the Ford dealer said the problem was "fixed", and each time it was, for almost 10k miles. There are websites dedicated to Ford transmissions issues, those that solicit for lemon law claims...why, because of the high incident rate and recurrence rate of low mileage transmission problems on Explorers. So, yes, if I replaced the solenoids for $700 or so, that being the "band aid" I spoke of, then I would sleep good at night if I sold the vehicle the next day, or a week later. Just as Ford and Ford dealers have been sleeping good at night with all those shoddy transmissions in the field. Bottomline: If you replace the solednoid, or do other work, and have it done by a qualified service center and they say "it's fixed", then go ahead and sell it with a clear conscience. TJR [/QUOTE]
