Ford Territory failed solenoid

...

I have just had a quote to repair my AWD 2006 Ford Territory after the 'Shift Solenoid Failure Code' came up. A changeover automatic transmission was recommended at a cost of $7200! The car is only five years old and has only done 127,000 km, can that be right, it's only worth $15,000? What are my options?

Take it to an auto transmission specialist and get another opinion. If it is a failed solenoid as the code suggests it's possible to replace the solenoid, and it then shouldn't cost more than around $1000.
