You should be hopeful its a recall and not ford denying a problem. Recall is best outcome,highly doubtful thoughBummer. i'm taking my bronco back to the dealer tomorrow. Hopefully there isn't a recall in our future.
Thank goodness you have a trailer that you can use when your transmission goes out...plus a chevy to get it to the dealer!Almost 11k on my badlands no issues, and she's pulled some weight
True, but it would be nice if Ford stopped using Chinese junk for their transmissions. I'm taking mine in on Thursday. They said they need a day to diagnose and then will update me. I wonder if they'll be able to get parts in a "timely" manner?
Well, technically GETRAG is a German company and has operations across Europe, North America and Asia. They're partially owned by Ford.
Right, I understand it is, but the punch in the gut when I pulled up to the dealership when I bought it was reading boldly addressed on the window sticker, "Engine: Made in USA
, Transmission: Made in China
", gave me a sinking feeling. And now 6 months into this thing, the noise, which I thought was different than what was originally described, but after reading more forums and whatnot, found out, it's likely the same issue. So 6500 miles and mostly certainly more off-roading than most Bronco owners, it sounds like I need to park it and get it checked out. Made the appt today for Thursday. They said they need it all day to diagnose. Hopefully parts won't take forever. We are headed to north GA in March and VA and TN in June, both trips will see some Bronco off road action if it's available. My hope is that a lot more issues with supply chain are getting worked out. Hopefully one of them is this issue of parts. I mean with my luck, it won't turn out that way, but at least we have two other vehicles to allow us to manage. Let me know how your situation fairs as things develop.
Keep me posted! Congrats on getting an appointment so quickly - hopefully your repair will go smoothly!Right, I understand it is, but the punch in the gut when I pulled up to the dealership when I bought it was reading boldly addressed on the window sticker, "Engine: Made in USA
Make sure it’s revision E. Anything before that will result in the same grinding noise. Hardly anyone has gotten the rev E transmission either, so it’s not proven to be perfect yet. See the thread below.
My buddy just had the same issue and was told the transmissions are on backorder, big surprise. My replacement is no good that I got way back when and I'm waiting to hear back from my dealer on a solution. No surprise they are not in a big hurry to respond.....hopefully @Ford Motor Company will have this figured out by the time my warrantee is up!
