| My truck had a rebuilt transmission in june of 1997 only one year after i purchase it. small problems still occurred here and there, but in june of 1999 my transmission began to act up again not shiifting right, when i brought it to a ford dealer for repair i drove it in, when they were done with the truck i had to have it towed out of there and they still charged me 700 dollars, i brought it to the man who did the rebuilt one and he got it running said it was fixed so i paid another 640 dollars then drove down the street and it still was not repaired, it was exactly like it was when i brought it to the ford dealership. i have spent 3400 dollars on repairs for the transmission and it still does not work, what rights do i have. i know i own a lemon. *ak | |||

| The clutch assembly has failed, this almost caused an accident. it has been brought to my attention that this is a common failure in the 1994 power stroke trucks. in fact the dealer in the area stated on 10-23-99 this is the weak leak of the 94's. by all info that i have gathered ford knows this and made a design change in the 95 model year. and the resons that i have been told there is no recall is because it is isolated to just the 94's. if it had not been for my ability to know what to do, there would have been a major multi-car accident. i was in heavy traffic, powering up to merge in when the clutch unloaded. any asssitance or information about this subject would be greatly apperciated. thank you colin farrell | |||
