Thanks, same here.

They replaced the axle seal.

Maybe. It started out as a couple delayed gear changes(figured a couple delayed shifts were normalish) and turned into extreme slipping and almost complete failure to move.

That's actually one of my concerns. If they overfilled it they could let some fluid out or if its low they could add fluid. That wont reverse the damage that may have occured. 36,000 miles is nothing, thats not even half of what is supposed to be the normal fluid change interval.

Welp, after getting it back from the dealer the tranmission is now slipping so bad it could barely move at 3000RPMs and there's tranny fluid thrown on top of the engine. You can smell it. Now it probably needs a transmission.

When I get it back I'll try to remember to post those details.

Turns out it's leaking transmission fluid through a bad Axle seal. I'm glad I didn't follow Fords recommended oil change schedule otherwise it would have gone unnoticed until it started going dry. Also, really great call not including a transmission dipstick.

Tell me about it. Between this and what appears to be peeling clearcoat on one of the doors; I'm not very impressed. I'm hoping these are the last of its problems. I dont want to be too hard on it because I really do like it.

Update update update: Just got it back from the dealer again after sending them 4 videos of the issue. They had it for over a months, replace a start/stop transmission module and just ended up replacing the transmission. So far so good. Update update: I got it back from the dealer a couple days...
