Just an FYI, you can go to Ford directly for an extended warranty in the future no matter where you buy it.  You can buy it online for like 40% off MSRP, you just need to bring it to a dealer to get inspected.

DX is your extended warranty Ford ESP?

No its not. Didn't buy car from Ford dealer so that wasn't an option.

Great article, I never really thought through it like that.  A friend of mine had his trans rebuilt in his Buick Enclave which is basically the same and it's been a nightmare.  They put in updated wave plates but there were still issues.  They finally flashed the controller to get it to shift right but now his MPG is way down.   He would have been better with a rebuilt that had all the updates

Hearing his issues with the trans is what made me purchase the extended warranty.  It does seem that Ford has had way less issues with their version of this trans though.

Warranty company finally approved work. Its still an ongoing fight but that's another story. They are sending a "replacement" unit to be installed. So I have no clue if it is new, used or rebuilt. Will find out on Monday. Part is coming from LKQ parts. A national auto parts distributor. I cant tell from there website if they offer used parts, so Im thinking the trans is a completely rebuilt unit. We will see.
Hope it works out to your liking. Fingers crossed!

Amen to that!  Personally, I know I could squirrel away money for service repairs, but prefer to bite the bullet get an extended warranty instead.  Has always paid off for me, since I buy used only.  The last new vehicle I got was back in 1997 ...

Hope all goes well on the fix.

On a brighter note, I finally got something back that was made for you after your kind gesture before.

Thank you for that. Those are hot! Best news I've gotten about this car since this crap began almost a month ago.

Todays update:
Warranty company planning to use as replacement a 'USED" transmission. Yep you heard me right. I am losing my mind right now. They claim they gave dealer the option to accept or reject the parts they would send. Or I could take cash value and.....

Their cash value for used trans the found, $800. A rebuilt factory trans roughly $2800. They also have approved $1000 for labor. But I had to authorize $3000 to remove transmission for inspection. In which they never inspected! Needless to say I am NOT a happy camper. Still fighting though. Finance company involved, Ford involved somethings gotta give!

Car been at dealer since 3/25. Since then, 3 wrong AND used transmissions have been sent by warranty company. They are and will be trying to deny rental car coverage on top of everything else.

At this point, I don't even want the car anymore. So after repairs, I will be listing car for sale! IM DONE!

Dave... Sorry to hear that saga. I feel your frustration. Regardless of what you do with the car, be sure you direct it at the actual cause, the warranty company... They owe you. There are real damages here.

It's why I went with Ford for the extended warranty.... BTW, who is the company. Folks should know so they can avoid that one

I typically don't like lawsuits for every little thing....But 3 wrong transmissions and no rental car? Someone is incompetent and deserves to be sued....I'd sue for all that's legit and pain and suffering and punitive damages to make it worth the time and trouble and lost work time

You guys are right about the directing my frustrations where they should be. But it has been an exhausting effort. I buy warranty to avoid these issues and this is what I get. I feel violated with this car. And a used transmission installed, after the transmission has already had issues last year doesn't give me the warm and fuzzy about this car. Had it not got out in years past I may say ok and just suck it up. But transmissions in 2 years? Likely to fail again next year. So not willing to pay for a $6000 repair on my own.

Oh and latest is replacement part won't arrive at dealership until 5/4/16!

One last thought I had.... Could faulty installation causing something to be off center in the rotating parts of the driveline or tranny have caused the failure? I have to wonder myself with 2 tranny failures in as many years.
