It can be done...

I saw a subaru towing a 20+ footer the other day. I quickly got away from that hot mess

An excellent example of Darwin at work. Trouble is he might also end up removing someone else's genes from the pool as well.

That extended warranty doesn’t get you home from the middle of nowhere. I’m 12 months out from getting rid of this truck so I’m going to be watching many brands. May even be able to be sold on a car with the right specs, if I could see myself putting it in and running to the grocery store, Lowe’s or Walmart I’d go for a stingray

This probably belongs in the "You Might Be A Redneck" thread, but here's your answer...

Symptoms before replacement - Surging, bucking, and slipping. I tried fixing by replacing that sensor that is recommended on the other threads. It did nothing for me.

Honestly, if you had issues while in warranty, and ultimate failure happened after I'd argue they shoudl be covering it all. With them covering 60, it's not worth it, but if they had not I would definitely have consulted a lawyer & worked to gather documentation of the issue (and Ford's failed attempts to repair).

Ford would likely blame the aftermarket pan fyi if you tried a warranty claim

I think the Drew's quote is a bit high at $7.8K...I had a new transmission installed, radiator + brake line flushed and my total came in at just under $6K tax included...granted, I wouldn't mind that huge discount...mine took one week...

Have there been any other transmission failures besides 2019 Rangers? I have 60k on my truck and the trans is very smooth.

So.......Add me to the list of transmission failures. I just had mine replaced.

Here are the details or lack of details from Ford.

Milage - 63k. Just 3k over the warranty.

Total Cost - $7,838.26. Ford kicked in with a 60/40 split. Ford paid $4,702.96. I paid $3,135.30.
Why not cover 100% of the cost? I don't know. Why cover any portion of the cost if not covering 100%? I don't know. My guess is that this is Ford acknowledging that there is a problem with the 1080R but not wanting to take full responsibility. Either way I am happy that they chipped in a considerable amount and that I did not have to take on the full financial burden.

Time frame for replacement - Almost 10 WEEKS!!!!!
On April 11th I took my Ranger in to Colley Ford in San Dimas, CA for a diagnostic. I finally picked up my Ranger on June 16th. I cannot understand all the reasons as to why it took so long. 2.5 months is a long time to be without a truck that you're still paying for. On top of that, my registration was due in May. The service tech did communicate via text and voice so that was comforting. Most of the time I had no idea what the status with my truck was.

Warranty - 3 years and unlimited miles. Lame. Does Ford really have so little confidence in this transmission?

Symptoms before replacement - Surging, bucking, and slipping. I tried fixing by replacing that sensor that is recommended on the other threads. It did nothing for me.

Diagnostic - The scope was changed a few different times by Ford. They wanted the dealers initial assessment, then they wanted what essentially consisted of a complete tear down of the transmission but in different phases. They couldn't have just asked for a complete tear down up front to save us all time. Instead they needed various tests run with screenshots and estimates. The approval process is what took the longest.

My Take - Hopefully this helps someone on here understand what to expect if they are out of warranty and experience a transmission failure. I bought mine used with 6k miles on it. I highly suggest the extended warranty for these vehicles. At this point I am reluctant to buy another Ford. I realize that all manufactures have their issues but transmission problems are a big one. I would love a full size truck in the future but I am not all that confident in sticking with Ford.

But we're just whining...

Exactly why I dumped my ranger and bailed out of the "Life Time Ford Customer Club."
Too many issues on too many critical components and getting Ford to acknowledge anything was like pulling hens teeth.
