.... "We are in the process of a service repair procedure," Kinley said, adding that Ford dealers were already repairing some vehicles that have the problem.
F.Y.I. Not all issues are made public until a complete history has been documented and or compiled. How about: Ford/ Firestone tire issues?
*Also take note that Ford was already making repairs before they decided to go public!

I thought you might like to read about some addtional information that some might say could be the same or a related issue ("Tech" guy from here shared with me awhile ago). We were discussing the "tink" issues that I was experiencing on my SSR and he gave me this upadate to read. There is "in development" a newer (more accurate) software program that should be forth coming to possibly eliminate the condition known as Torque Reversal issues. This new update software should eliminate the bumping/ clinking noises between shifts. Please read this issue below:
4L603/4L653 Snap Noise 2-1 Downshift - kw 136 149 233 236 246 4L60EHD automatic bind clash clunk drive engage grab hard harsh second shift #PIP3106 - (Sep 22, 2004)
4L603/4L653 Snap Noise 2-1 Downshift
Condition/Concern:
96 – 05 light-duty trucks, passenger cars and utilities equipped with the 4L60E (M30) and 4L65# (M32) Automatic transmissions may experience a single snap noise during a 2-1 downshift when coming to a stop.
The snap noise should not be confused with a stop clunk as it as a snap. The snap noise may be described as a ball peen hammer hitting the transmission case. The noise may also be present when shifting from reverse to drive or drive to reverse. The snap noise may appear to becoming from the transfer case.
(similar to the sound/noise in our driveshaft)
POSSIBLE CAUSE – The Low and Reverse Clutch Support Retainer Spring (anti-clunk spring) (item 680) may have been bent during the production process or during an overhaul at the dealer. The noise will most likely occur at low mileage (0 to 7500).
Recommendation? Instructions:
The Low and Reverse Clutch Support Retainer Spring *item 680) should be inspected for being bent. If damaged, the retainer spring should be replaced.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be preformed. If these steps don’t resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Models:
(96-05) ALL GM Light Duty Trucks and Cars equipped with the 4L60 E M30 and 4L65E M32)
I will share more iformation as soon as I receive it.
