Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 ford expedition with less than 52,000 miles on it lunged forward at a stop sign and then would not go when accelerator pedal was pushed. finally went as i entered the freeway with lunging and de-acceleration for about 15-20 miles. as soon as i got off the freeway the vehicle lunged forward and then locked up. i escaped being hit 2x by trying to pull over. i limped to my destination of a block and ended up having to have truck towed to a local dealership only to find my transmission had failed. cost me $3791 for what i thought was a new transmission as quoted by the dealership; when i picked it up, it was a rebuilt transmission, not what we agreed on. secondly, i had a service extended contract for 72 months or 100,000 miles which the dealership failed to remind me about. nor did ford when they know i was 2.5 hours away from my home offer any help to get home, rental car or even a loaner. i was without transportation for an entire week. reading about this transmission it has been a problem for years with no recall - this is a serious defect. *nm |
