My truck has been to the dealer numerous times because of this problem with the transmission. Sometimes they keep it for a week and it fixes it for a while and then starts up again. Sometimes they tell me they are unable to duplicate problem. I am sick of Ford

I purchased my F-150 brand spankin new in 2005. MSRP was 36k. About 2.5 years and 53k miles later, transmission is done. While accelerating when the light turns green, truck wouldn�t go anywhere. RPM meter would be revving, and then car would jerk into gear. Not only that, while going 40-50mph, truck would downshift by itself, then shift back into gear. Transmission malfunction light came on and O/D light flashing. Brought to dealership. Told me that a forward spring broke. Didn�t know how that happened. Transmission had to be overhauled. Took them three days. Got my truck back on a Friday. The next day, stuck again. Had to have it towed back to the dealership. Again, accelerating when the light turns green, but am not moving. Also, truck shakes like hell when trying to accelerate. Only reverse works. Again, they overhauled the transmission and found that the forward drum broke. Another four days in the shop. Got my truck back two days ago. So far so good. Thank goodness I purchased the extended warranty until 60k miles. I just made it!!!!!!! Didn�t have to pay anything. Seeing all these comments about Ford really blows my mind. I thought they were �built tough�. I guess not. Unlikely to buy a Ford again.
