 Tranmission has failed twice in 75,000 miles. now on third rebuild.
03/07/1994712/01/1993
 Purchase this vehicle new in dec. of 1993 and have had 7 transmission failures. some of these failures have created situations of transmsission fluid boiling out of dipstick tube and dropping down on exhaust. very good potential for oil fire when transmission fluid boiled out and vehicle was smoking from fluid dropping on exhaust. have checked with atra {automatic transmission rebuilders association} and they have concluded that this particular transmission{e4od} has been very troublesome with high failure rate. checking with insurance companies and investigative companies that investigate vehicle fires to see if there are many fires relating to this transmission failure in fords transmissions manufactured between 1989 thru 1997.

 In the past 5 years i have replaced the torque converter and throttle position sensor 3 or more times. each time the dealer tells me it's just a faulty part. i feel that ford is refusing to except the fact that i have a defective transmission. i plan to confront the dealer one more time before contacting an attorney.

 The homesteader 820ct 2000 trailer is being towed by the truck chaise listed below. the trailers tires are caving inwards after only being used twice. this occurred because the double axles bent. a dmv representative weighed the trailer loaded and found that the trailer was under loaded ,and the axles weren't strong enough to support the weight of the trailer. the trailer and the axle manufacturers were contacted, but provided no solution to the problem. instead, they were blaming each other.*ak
