I completely agree. I believe something is wrong with the transmission. There was a suggestion that the failure rate is actually low and that many people are not having issues. I was brainstorming how then you explain repeat failures but still have a low overall failure-rate. If people...

I know.... I am not certain I believe it myself. The only thing that I could think of was a break-in procedure that is needed but ford didn't communicate. Maybe we have to get the trans up to temperature and spend time in each gear to let things seat. Before people get too excited. I am...

I see where your heading but what concerns me is that there are people with multiple repeat failures. which would indicate a higher failure rate is present. we could be looking at a driver behavior that is influencing the condition. Maybe this transmission needs to come up to temperature...

I wouldn’t get too twisted up on the sales writers hyperbole. If ford didn’t care about the customer wanting a manual they wouldn’t have gone the extra step to build a 7 speed tuned for the application. They were obviously trying to one up Jeep and the crawl gear is pretty nice. It’s...

Good information….but discouraging to read, but I am not surprised. Based on other comments, I would now agree my idea of negotiating a warranty is wishful thinking. I go Thursday to begin working with my dealer to document the issue. Kudos to them they were backed up till April but...

I have seen it done with other brands so that is why I brought it up.

Since, a fix is not available yet and the supply chain situation has dealers booked solid for many weeks. I was thinking about trying to Lemon Law mine, but I have to prove Loss of Usability, Loss of Market Value or a Safety issue for more than 30 days. Its noisy, but doesn't affect...

good to hear. Any other people able to report they don’t see this issue? Especially if you live in colder climates?

No joy. Tried using them this morning and it only offered a credit card number

My personal experiences with brand new vehicles from Ford: 2012 F150: bad relay, non functional windshield wipers 2018 F150: 10 Speed Trans leaking fluid, Assembly defect and bad gasket 2021 F250: Crushed wire harness causing passenger seat sensor to fail resulting in airbag light 2023...

So in the effort to help others who don't have time to read 74 pages of discussion. I wanted to attempt to summarize what we know at this moment The issue can be easily created by cold soaking the vehicle in weather < 45 degrees and letting the vehicle warm up in neutral. You should hear...

Reading about some of the history of the MT82 transmission it would appear viscosity of the fluid was part of the fix. Do we think Ford over compensated in the lessons learned? curious if someone has tried different fluid grades to see if it helps. Not saying it’s a long term fix but...

Just following up, Did they ever get to root cause?

I just started researching what it would take to redeem the ford pass points. The item I wanted "required" installation (programming). One dealer was real grouchy about having to take the quoted labor price from the Ford Website and then I couldn't use my points because I had to pay online...

Just wanted to say hello. Purchased a 4 dr Black Diamond. I was researching Jeeps for a long while but on a wild hair decided to check out the Bronco in person. I was sold after the test drive over the dynamics of the manual transmission. Reading the horror stories on both Jeep and...
