Last Sunday, we finally had some decent weather so I decided to go for a drive. After a short 15 minute drive, I encountered a major problem.
While stopped at a light, I looked up to see a massive white cloud in the rear view mirror. I was instantly worried and checked for a dummy light. Nothing popped up yet.
Light went green and I proceeded. Well, the cloud got a lot bigger and followed me. Then all the dummy lights came on. I found the first safe turn off and got off the road.
I found a long trail of what I assumed was oil. Looked under the car to find a massive leak. Then called the wrecker.
Today, I was able to get it on a lift at work and was able to find the problem. A tranny line lost its bolt and it puked out all of it’s fluid. Line also looks pinched/dinged from when the bolt launched off.
Needless to say, I’m not touching this issue. My girl is off to a stealership for repair. Everyone might want to check their lines for loose bolts.
On a side note, while waiting for the wrecker, a matching GT500 pulled up and I made a new friend. A gentleman living just 2 short miles from me as a matching CFTP FPB with painted OTT stripes. Only had his for 4 days. What a small world.
I’ll keep you posted on how Ford takes care of this issue.
