But to be having so many issues below 80,000 miles on a tranny and not being abused or worked hard, there is a manufacturing and design flaw leading to these failures. 100,000 mile or more I would say ok it happens. Ford should take note of this, I have read many other ford owners having issues with these transmissions and that should not be happening. Other problems yes, but not transmission failure.Įnd result, AAMCO certified rebuilt transmission 3yr/50000 mile warranty $3500.00. I have never had a Ford transmission due this to me, and I have owned many Fords and put well over 130000 miles on all of them never with a transmission problem. Catastrophic complete and total failure of the transmission. We had it towed to the closest AAMCO dealer.Īfter evaluation they found the fluid to be burnt and black and metal in the pan. The engine was and is running fine, no drive gears R D 3,2 or 1st. We moved over to the emergency lane and luckily we coasted to with in a few feet of an emergency call box to request assistance. No smoke, no parts flying, no fluid loss. The guy behind us was not happy hammering his horn because of the sudden deceleration on our part. Total and complete loss of forward momentum. It startled my wife and I immediately new that was not a good sound. 04/03/16 while on the highway with my family, speed 65-70 mph, we heard a loud bang from under the car. I purchased it 02/14/15 with 54500 miles on it. Vehicle was originally purchased from same dealer and serviced their exclusively by its previous owner. I am the 2nd owner bought from Ford dealer as a trade in. With the cost of a newer vehicle, and the low amount of trade in value, I will probably try my luck again with this newly installed transmission.īrand loyal Ford owner here. If I don't get rid of this vehicle, the plan is to have the transmission fluids drained annually to see if that works. I bought this 2006 explorer new as well and had failure after failure, right after the 36,000 mile warranty was up. I had a new '95 Explorer for 11 years and had -0- transmission issues. I have not gone to the dealer, but in hindsight I probably would have been better off. I really like this vehicle, with the exception of the epic transmission failures of course. Today is the $230 warranty replacement after 50,000 miles. Believe it or not, there may have been one more rebuild in there, but I cannot remember right now.

It failed again 2 years later and I had it replaced: $3,000. Within 1 year, it failed and had to be rebuilt again $700. I have had my transmission rebuilt / replaced four different times.
