Worried about potential repair costs? An extended warranty can provide peace of mind.
Chart based on 8 repair trips. The repair cost chart excludes repairs made under warranty, do-it-yourself repairs, and repair trips that include maintenance.
Solenoid in transmission was replaced due to hard shifting conditions from park to reverse and hard up/down shifts from 3rd to 4th gear. TSB is available, the dealer told me more than once there was nothing wrong until I searched and found the TSB myself, they then agreed to perform repair. But quirks now returning two months later.
AWD failure indication.

Transmission shifts hard into lower gears, this is worse on a cold start. In addition, on colder days it slams into gear between 2nd and 3rd on upshift and downshift.

I have been complaining about hard shifts with the transmission in the lower gears. The technician verified that it was shifting harshly, however they determined that once the transmission warmed up the shifting was normal. Ford claims that this was normal for my car to have harsh shift hesitation on a cold transmission and there is nothing they can do about it. NO REPAIR PERFORMED

also trans hard banging shifting but dealer won't touch it, didn't act up when I took it in.
Noted a surging or hard downshift at 50-60mph. Dealer confirmed, but said it was operating "normally." The service adviser also said others had the same problem, so ask if there is a service bulletin for an updated transmission software at my future visits.
