had a shutter/vibration appear this evening when dowshifting into third at highway speed... happens around 2000rpm. also hesitates before the vibration... only decent news is i have 5 days to return the truck or 30 day for warranty to fix it.. purdy sure my tranny is the culprit...

 

dude that sucks hopefully it isn't anything serious

 

I am in a good spot if it is the tranny... I wont except a crap repair job or they can try to resale it with the same outcome... LoL

 

yeah I bought mine the identical truck as yours and within a month had to drop $1000 in it for cam phasors (sp?). It sucked but everything else has been fine (knock on wood)...good luck

 

I am glad we chose carmax, we have issues that never got fixed with a previous dealer on our expedition. At least i know carmax will fix everything... So far it's the driver door not closing without slamming and now this problem...

Will be calling first thing in the AM...

 

did you get a history report like a carfax if it had been wrecked they aren't gonna tell you about it

 

Yes. All clean, one owner...

 

That's good, hope they make it right.

 

Sounds like tranny or TQ

 

When I bought my truck I was looking for used but came across this one new at a great price.

 

Yeah, it would be nice to buy new or close to new... But when you do not finance, it makes every dollar count sometimes...

Plus, there was no since in ruining a new truck in my line of work... I just put 50K on a Jeep in a little over a year and a half... I am hopin this ford will hold up to that now... eeek!

 

Good luck on getting everything fixed. Last thing you want it something tearing up as you're trying to enjoy your new truck. :-)

 

Yeah, I got about 30% off MSRP on a cheaper truck that I plan to keep for many years with about 12K miles a year, so it works for me, but not everyone. I paid cash also, but plan to make it last.

 

Welp... Took it in today and Carmax couldn't fix it so they have to send out to have transmission work done...

I have about 2 days when I get it back to make a decision on keep it or get out before I am stuck with another problem...

I know it depends on the problem and how they fix it or completely replace it, but what would you do?? I still have the Jeep with 143K on it that is now fixed...

I know I will put a lot of miles on an already high mileage truck (85K) so I just don't wanna be dealing with a 'lemon'...

 

The impression I get from your text above is that you don't trust that this is the only problem that the truck has and that you're concerned about the mileage because of how many miles you plan to put on it.

If I had your same feelings, I'd be looking for another truck with lower miles.
