When at a stoplight transmission goes into neutral unnoticed, but when you step on the gas the engine revvs up and then suddenly jumps back into gear and shoots out into traffic with out warning. Ford knows of the problem, and told me it was a aluminum piston that fails in the trans. But wants over $2000 dollars to fix it because I didn't report it soon enough. I was lucky that the intersection was empty, or it could have been a bad accident! this is clearly a safety problem that Ford does not want to deal with. I want to know if there are any others out there with this problem" I called several transmission shops and they all knew of the problem, even some of the Ford dealers admitted that the transmission is defective! for $26000 the trans. Only lasted 2yrs. Is there anything I can do"
