I JUST HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 52000. FACTORY WARRANTY IS 3/36K. REPLACEMENT IS 3/100K. I AM PRETTY TICKED TO HAVE TO REPLACE SO SOON. I DO NOT HAUL ANYTHING OTHER THAN ITEMS FROM HOME DEPOT AND NOTHING HEAVY. NEVER EVEN TOWED ANYTHING. DO YOU GUYS THINK I SHOULD HAVE ANY RECOURSE FROM FORD? IT SEMS ODD THAT THE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY IS 3 TIMES LONGER. IS THERE A KNOWN DEFECT? THANKS

i understand that you had it replaced under warranty.if this is the case no recourse all they are obligated to do.is repair and it seems they did that. now if i am misunderstanding and you had to pay for it .. then this would be diff
