Look at the bright side, you can now you say you have officially "Blown a Tranny"!

Well as the resident test mule for hauling.
self described of course.
I have repeatedly hauled well over the 4 k limit many times for long hauls. Recently juts got back from another 3k mile round trip with trailer and just under the 4 k limit. So far I’ve had no issues with mine and it sees a lot of sand dunes, and off-roading in the mountains of Co and Texas.
but as to hell collect data. I do change my fluid every 30k after the first one at 10k
Amsoil atf.
Currently at 42k miles on mine

Worth noting that the eCVT in the Maverick hybrid is significantly different than a traditional CVT and should be much more reliable.

The gear/motor type eCVT is so radically different than a typical belt CVT that it makes me wonder from a marketing standpoint, why they have similar names. Doesn't Ford have meetings?
If I was in the meeting I would suggest calling the hybrid tranny "EMGVT" for electric mechanical gear variable transmission.
Get away from the disaster of go kart "CVT" reputation.

I purchased mine from an established dealer who provides a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain. I plan on holding onto this truck 8-10 years. Fingers crossed.

Agreed. But I guess the ones that are willing to research go the spoils?

Hello everyone, happy new year! What a better way to start the year than with a transmission that slips like a toddler on ice?

At just about 64,500 km / 40,000 mi my transmission began slipping. It was very sudden, only took 3 days to go from slight slip every once in a while from a dead stop to having to floor the damn thing to get the truck moving and being damn near impossible to go up inclines at slow speeds.

Thanks to the many other posts here I knew I was doomed. I took the video below before going straight to the dealer, which was thankfully only 1 minute away. Sorry for recording while driving but I needed evidence lol.

The dealer took my truck on December 17, next day the advisor said corporate at Hermosillo sent over some tuning files for the transmission that did nothing, and were awaiting for further replies. Yesterday they finally asked me if I authorized them to drop the tranny, as it would be like 1,000 dollars in labor if it isn't covered under warranty. I'm glad I bought the extended warranty. (1,000 dollars is kind of outrageous at Mexican labor costs if it seems not so bad lol)

Isn't truck under warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles which ever comes first.
Why would dealer even ask you that you maybe have to pay 1000? The dealer knows their warranties

...Even the Toyotas are starting to have problems...

Starting to have problems?

 

[JacobEleventeen]

Starting to have problems?

Lol I was always told they were the most reliable but they started throwing new transmissions and turbos in that have had a few problems on there recent models.

Wait and see what Toyota comes out with, I'm sure theres something on the way.

A lotta people been waiting a long time for these supposed vehicles that, so far, are nothing but vaporware in the US.

This And not due to the reputation of the Maverick's 8-speed automatic specifically.

With the exception of my old F-150, I've never had good luck with past conventional automatics I've owned. And I always changed the ATF more frequently than recommended by the manufacturer.

Not in Mexico, there's only the 3 year / 60k km (37k mi) bumper to bumper with no extra time or mileage for the power train. I do have the extended 6 year / 120k km (74 k mi) warranty available here.

By the way, in the USA it is also only 3 years 36k mi bumper to bumper, plus 5 years 60k mi powertrain only and 5 years corrosion warranty.
