I bought the car in February 2016. It was the sales manager's wife's car and I was told it was in immaculate condition. The day after we bought it started having issues. 2 months later all 4 axles were replaced. At that time I mentioned I thought it was the transmission. The sale team told me no way, this transmission is AWESOME! Now 6 months later, it is making this crazy whining noise. I get stopped everywhere I go and get comments, " Hey there's something wrong with your car! " Every stop light!!! I took it to a local mechanic and in 30 seconds told me it was the intake shaft to the transmission. He researched it and found tons of complaints and FORD hasn't done squat to take care of good loyal customers! I have bought 5 cars from this dealership and I am making an appointment ASAP. I hope the management does the right thing.
Update from Jan 24, 2017: The dealership called and said it was the main shaft of the transmission and they couldn't locate a rebuilt transmission for the car due to the high repair volume. They then sent it to Tradeway Transmissions in Modesto. Thank goodness! Roger, the owner, new right off what was needed and ordered a rebuilt unit, installed it and we are back on the road again.
PS- to those that have this vehicle, check the motor mounts, they are the reason the motor and transmisssion vibrate too much causing this issue. Sure enough our was broken and the dealer didn't even notice it.
Thanks to the dealer for helping with repair costs and Tradeway, we are good to go with a rebuilt unit with a 3 year/50,000 mile warranty!!!!
