[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743453, member: 60724"] Caymen, you know very well that the actual numbers could only be obtained by Ford, and Ford isn't about to disclose them. All I have, all anyone has, is what they read on boards, and what they can get from service managers that are willing to talk. The service managers I have talked to said there are severe issues with the 02-04 trannies on Explorers. Q: Do you think that the 04' Transmission Fluid Additive recall was anything more than Ford's reaction to an alarming rate of transmission failures in the 02s and 03s? Recalls are most often put in place for safety issues. Anything that is a minor defect that isn't a safety issue never gets a recall. The transmission fluid additive recall was NOT a safety recall. It was, IMHO, a preventitive measure by Ford to delay costly transmission repairs until the vehicle was off-warranty. If not for the reasons I mention, then why exactly was that recall put in place? What was it meant to accomplish? TJR [/QUOTE]
