[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743446, member: 60724"] Caymen said: That's a cop out. I have owned almost 10 new vehicles over my lifetime. Only one had tranny problems at around 10K. It was a Ford. When I did my research I found that on average 2 out of 10 owners with the same tranny and with low mileage were reporting the same problems. Ford engineering f'ed up...I am sure of it. I got paid $2500 in a Lemon Law settlement. Ford will likely get hit with a class action lawsuit for the Explorer trannys. I already got my cut, and since I signed on the line that was dotted, I have no further, future recourse. Clearly Ford had a big problem with their 02, 03, and especially 04 trannys. The '04 fluid additive recall, IMHO, was nothing more than a recognition on Ford's part of the high rate of failures for 02s and 03s, and an attempt to prevent (or slow) that incident on 04s. I'm sure that's all that was...a hope to slow and delay the inevitable until off warranty. They can't keep hiding behind this problem, and the apologists forever. TJR [/QUOTE]
