After 8 days at the dealer having a new transmission pump installed ($1800) which I was told resolved the problem with the “wrench†on my dashboard. 4 days later, “wrench†back on. Taken to dealer next day and after 1 hour was told that I should bring the car back in 12 days and that they’d figure out the problem. I’d be provided a loaner car. I asked repeatedly if the vehicle was safe to drive and told yes. The next morning, while driving to work going 60MPH on a highway, the transmission blew (engine revving with foot on gas, but no response from engine.). I safely got it off the road. I had it towed to the dealer. Now told I need a new transmission and quoted $5100 less the $1800 paid, so $3300. Also getting a 3 year warranty with the new transmission. Very disappointed with Ford.
had the 60,000 mile recommended work done, which included changing the transmission fluid and filter. Now hesitates, wont go through the shift sequence.. will be going 70 on a highway, and you can hear it shifting gears..
on one occasion, I had to hit the breaks hard (I got cut off) and the car shut off! I was going the 75 mph speed limit! Thought I was going to die.
