The OP says "6+ weeks".
The law says (trust me, I've been down this road, the truck I had before my Ranger, I had about 2k mi on it TOTAL, and the dealer / Mfg had it for almost longer than I had it, and STILL couldn't fix the problem AND damaged so many other things on my "new" / 2k mi on it...
Well had a Taco for 21 years (Pre-Runner 2003), in ALL that time one "recall", front ball joints. ONE water pump, ONE O2 sensor, ONE steering shaft (just below the steering wheel, the break away pin / hole began to wear causing a "click" when steering), that is IT in over 20 years. Of course a...
THIS sort of SHIT is disgusting. While my 2022 Lariat / Tremor (Everything on it build, except for the “deleted” stuff I had to add myself) only has 9.5k miles on it. And…. So far is fine. It outta be. But I have ZERO faith in my (first ever FORD, you know the “Built FORD Tough”) FORD. No modern...
Hey I may fly out of my LARIAT
/ TREMORs windshield. Yes I got the recall, haven’t / won’t address this (mine seems not to leak) because THE reason I own this truck (FORD) is because of the Lawyer / lemon law buy-back of my other manufacturers truck when they couldn’t fix a leaking rear window...
If you can afford to get away from the Ford I would. You won’t get much for it with that mileage, but it’s still running so you’ll get something $.
There is NO WAY I expect my 2022 LARIAT
/ TREMOR to last w/o problems the way my 2003 Tacoma did. Other than a water pump, a ball joint, and...
Now in addition to keeping my fingers crossed every time I start my 2022 Ranger Lariat Tremor and put it in gear my tranny still works, worry that I don’t have a way to keep fuel out of oil or at some point I may need to have my engine walnut blasted, and still wonder why I had to buy / install...
2022 LARIAT/TREMOR 501A Package, so basically the top possible build, well except for the many “deleted” things that SHOULD have come with the truck. Things I bought and installed myself. But of course that’s another story. I just turned 7k miles and things like this post scare me to death and...
So at least there’s another Ford user group that is worried about there vehicles transmission.
Now tell me again, how long has Ford been making vehicles (and putting windshields in, I still haven’t addressed that recall with mine for fear of what else will get damaged)?
Funny and sad, well mostly sad when the consumer / owner knows more about a vehicle than the brand named seller of it. And this isn’t just Ford or a few dealers. I had more than I can count experiences like this with different makers / sellers of cars.
Even once when I said “I sure wish that...
Agee 100%. Ford, and others, have been making cars for a few years now. You’d think they’d have it figured out and wouldn’t be selling vehicles that have forums that have to talk about serious, catastrophic, and costly issues like transmissions failing so early.
But hey, don’t make’m last too...
I’ve stopped visiting this forum too often. It just makes me shake my head and wonder if this, being my first ever Ford was a mistake. I’ve only got 5.5k miles on mine, so a ways from apparent transmission doomsday. But even having to think a trans could require replacement at 80k is absolutely...
The "Survey" aside, it is just sad that there would be any damage, or heck even a greasy finger print on a steering wheel or boot mark on your door or threshold after a DEALER does anything to your vehicle. I've yet (only 6k mi on mine) to have to visit my "Ford" dealer, but I've had it happen...
