There's absolutely no benefit in waiting to have it inspected. I get the dealer runaround...I do...I've been there. At the same time, you're enabling their poor customer service by just dealing with it and not speaking up. I thought the exact same thing and almost didn't say anything during my...
Harsh shifts and occasionally squealing are not normal. Or they shouldn't be.
Check out the recent TSB's for these issues. I hate to say it, but I think this is just the beginning of these headaches.....there going to be more and more frequent as newer owners start to hit 20K+ miles and the...
I made the same assumption you did, that they wouldn't find anything and/or couldn't replicate the issue. I've been down that road with Ford for a different issue. However, I was shocked as they seemed to find something immediately. I simply wanted to document my concerns in my service history...
This is all the info I have for now...from the service manager:
"As far as what we are actually doing to the transmission we are rebuilding the internals with new parts including clutches, seals gaskets and valvebody and will reprogram the transmission control module and relearn shift adaptive...
UPDATE:
Just emailed the service manager as today has been 2 weeks.....here's his response:
"Parts are ordered and not all here yet. Will call as soon as all parts are in and get you back in."
This is the same thing they said 2 weeks ago. Waiting on parts and they'll call when they have...
I bought mine June 30, 2022 and I'm pretty sure it probably had 10K within 4 months....maybe sometime in the third month. First road trip was August 2022....drove down to OBX and then down to Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle NC. So I'm sure I probably easily hit 10k within those first 4 months...
I agree. It's definitely not normal when it's unresponsive to throttle and hardly moves. Plus, for me at least, it's very infrequent. But when it happens, it's so sluggish, it's probably unsafe.....luckily when it happens, mine works itself out driving out my long driveway. It's quirky and...
UPDATE:
This weekend, I completed a survey from Ford that I received following my appt. I didn't bash them, but I was honest. I mentioned that it was disappointing to have a serious transmission issue (on a 1 year old truck) that couldn't be explained to me and that I felt the invoice should...
Funny you mention that. I purchased some on my way home from vacation this past Friday...chasing that $750M powerball. No winners. I always buy tickets in different states on my way home from vacation....so I can ride home dreaming of buying a beach house.
I think I'll pick up a few more...
Yeah, I've definitely experienced that....not all of the time, but somewhat regularly.
I feel like the hard shifts have become more common since I hit 20K miles. Either that, or I started paying closer attention then. Several HARD shifts from P to D when first going. When it happens, even with...
That's part of the reason I posted this. I know there are a bunch of transmission threads, but I wanted to point out that my symptoms weren't necessarily major (no codes, no failures) but at the same time, it never felt right to me. My driving is very consistent, yet the issues are...
Thanks for the info!
"the transmission won't fully engage and you will rev up like you are in neutral, which if you are trying to pull out into a road is obviously quite dangerous."
^^^
It's already occasionally doing this. Fortunately, I have a long driveway and that seems to give it time to...
So was I!!!
From more reading and research here, my issues definitely seem to match the attached TSB. The advisor mentioned a TSB (but offered no explanation).
I have a 2022 Ranger. I juuust went over 30K miles. Within the last 5-10K miles, I've experienced 4-6 HARD clunking shifts from P to D and noticeably awkward shifts around 22-24 mph and 42-44 mph (both accelerating and decelerating). Also, sometimes when I first start it, it revs high and is...
I was rear ended on July 1st....stop and go beach traffic at a backed up red light.
The lady popped me pretty good. When I got out and walked around to look, I was completely expecting to see my bumper shattered and tailgate crumpled, but nope. The trailer hitch took 99% of the hit. I had a...
Interesting.....I have just under 25,000 on mine, and I just came here to read up on some transmission threads after mine seems to be acting particularly moody over the last 100-300 miles.
I have noticed a few quirks since I bought it last year (mostly some slight bucking and jerking when...
I spent about $3,600 on mine. Obviously, I didn't love spending the money, BUT I keep vehicles for decades at a time (unless this trans fails, lol) and I need the dry storage.
Not cheap....I think the amount I spent is probably the limit I was wiling to go, but in terms of added utility and the...
Definitely. Stop/go driving and hills make a HUGE difference in my observations. My best MPG in the Ranger was also on 95 last summer.
I wonder if the lack of traffic is/was due to the collapse in Philly?
