At 76k miles the transmission began slipping and missing shifts from both reverse and drive selections, either hot or cold. 1st and 2nd gear are where this issue is most acute. it occurs when accelerating from a stop and also when decelerating. gator ford stated transmission needed to be replaced at considerable cost. also stated fluid was burnt and metal found in pan. all service with exception of last oil change was conducted at dealer since purchased new. at no time were we informed of any transmission fluid break down. dealer provided list of fault codes which did not trigger dash indicator of any kind.
While exiting traffic circle at slow speeds, transmission did not respond when accelerating out of the circle, and continued to be unresponsive after pulling to the side of the road. the road was a city thoroughfare with a 35 mph speed limit. dealer said that signicant damage was discovered upon inspection, "probably due to a transmission overfill." as the transmission had not previously been serviced, this was certainly a factory issue. the vehicle was not under warranty, and no compensation was offered.
Possible bcm issue. the battery drains with the bcm fuse installed. the fuse pulled stops the battery drain issue. the batter was replaced and same issue occurs. battery drain occurs overnight. second issue. the transmission shifts rough between first and second gear, and bumps at highway speeds when accelerating. have taken the vehicle to the dealer five times. transmission overhauled, but issue continues. have gotten transmission failure warning sign.
The transmission downshifted hard and up-shifted hard while the vehicle was in motion. the tachometer went out of control while the vehicle was in motion during city driving and upon start up. this was caused by a leak in the left front axle.
Transmission broken.
Took vehicle in for the first oil change and it was noted the trans axle was leaking. this is the 2nd vehicle we have that this has happened to - 2014 ford transit connect. ford does not seem concerned about it. the first vehicle took ~ 2 weeks to get repaired. ford has ordered the parts to repair this vehicle, but can't fit it in their service schedule. it has been 3 weeks since the vehicle was taken into the dealer for repair and it is still not fixed. *tr
