| Vehicle goes out of gear after someone turns off from in front of the driver, the transmission neutralizes and then bangs into gear, this is at low speeds 10-30 mph, this also happens on the highway at 55-70 when accelerating/passing another car. transmission repairman told me all the ford crown victoria transmissions do this he called it the kickdown run away part of the transmission. this problem will also cause the transmission to break and need replacing. this problem causes the driver to quickly remove foot from the accelerator pedal when engine revs up and could cause a rear end collision from quick deceleration. this problem is what is causing police cars to need transmissions being replaced after 20000-40000 miles. the remanufactured transmissions that for is using to fix these cars have the same problems. so at 40000-100000 miles the vehicle needs the transmission replaced again due to breakage. *tr | |||

| 2005 ford crown victoria police interceptor with 47,410 miles began having rear axle noise. upon service in our shop it was determined that the rear axle bearings had failed and worn into the axle shaft. contacted the local dealer and they advised they were unaware of this issue and there was no warranty left. we then started checking the other 10, 2005 crown victorias for this issue. so far out of the entire 11 cars we have checked 6 and they all are showing the same problem. it appears that when these cars get between 45,000 to 50,000 miles it shows the wear as described above. ford customer service was contacted and they didn't offer but $100 assistance, just the parts is over $450 excluding labor. the local dealer said it would be around $750 to repair in their shop. to me this is a safety issue especially with it being a police car that's affected. *tr | |||
