interesting bump. I'm curious to hear what happened to the OP. he posted this and a few other things back in March, and nothing since.

I’ve brand new one - ‘24 Ecoboost XLT - and have noticed that this transmission is very busy and often seems confused/ catching up on getting to the right gear.

More gray hair coming wondering when this will go south…

Yes interesting bump. Anyone who has a trans go dead at 10,000 miles should start a new thread. A problem like that deserves a new thread.

Took my Maverick to the dealer for a quick transmission service and now they want to replace the whole thing at an estimated cost of $9,000 and no idea how long it will take (they said the transmission is on back-order)

2022 XLT AWD EcoBoost with the 4k tow package just over 85,000 mi.
Was driving home from a business trip (little over 700mi highway driving one-way) and in the last hour or so started to notice some delayed shifting & hard shifting.
When I got home I ran the codes and one of my transmission solenoids was stuck-on
Hoping it was just my fluids needing topped-off/replaced, I took it to my regular repair shop, but they don't touch transmissions.
So then I took it to a quick lube place and they refused to touch it because they didn't have the right fluids.
So then I took it to the ford dealer in town, and at first they refused to change the fluids because ford, in their infinite wisdom, claims that their transmission fluid lasts 150k mi. and being only half that, they don't need to change it.
Then I told them the whole story, and they told me they again refuse to change the fluids - "it's their policy" that they need to do a full diagnostic ($150+tax) before anything else.
Called them today for an update and they won't tell me exactly what's wrong, just that "there's a lot of codes" and that they need to replace the whole thing.
They don't want to even attempt repair, and claim it'll cost more than the replacement.

Called-around to some transmission-specific shops nearby and none of them will work on it because they claim that the 22 maverick has no information whatsoever in whatever system they use; they all claimed that they could only find info on the 23, and that even that info wasn't enough to do work on the truck.

In my research I've seen lots of people having transmission issues with these things.
Has anyone had similar issues & found any resolution other than ponying-up half the KBB for a new trans?

Are there any updates?
I wonder what happened to his transmission?

Yes and no.

Ford ESP would cover it unless there was some obvious causation like evidence of abuse. Any non-Ford warranty might as well, but they often have limits and exclusions. That's one of many reasons people advise to stay away from extended warranties that are not Ford plans.

If it is a stuck solenoid - change Fluid - Drive 20 miles - repeat 2 x.

If that doesn't help change the the Solenoid or complete Valve Body and Solenoids.
