What owners wrote
While shifting the vehicle into park and getting out of the vehicle, the vehicle went into reverse. The consumer was able to get back into the vehicle and stopped the vehicle. The truck was towed to the dealer. The dealer had to replace the transmission level linkage.
I own a 2005 ford f150 5.4 automatic w/ 63,000. Unexpected failure of transmission caused by, as dealer stated, a degradation of a bearing which came loose and became lodged in side of the transmission. I replied to the ford service manager does this mean that what caused the failure was a defective part, he answered yes and gave me the quote for a new transmission.
