***FINAL UPDATE*** Transmission issues

[k9rasco]

Started about a week ago, I was driving and it felt like I bumped the car into neutral, just started revving high. I stopped in a parking lot and shut the car off and restarted it and it seemed fine for a little bit. Fast forward a couple days and the first three gears were a little jumpy. This morning I was heading to work going about 40 miles an hour and there was a large thump, which sounded like plastic breaking and grinding. It immediately threw a check engine light. I coasted into a parking lot. I shut it down, restarted it and drove it to the dealership. Every time I began accelerating after a light change, it would rev up to about 4000-4500 rpm before it would start rolling.

Will do! Service advisor at the dealership asked if he could test drive it to see if he could duplicate the issue. He drove it through the exit door, and right back into the shop. He got out of the truck and said, yup, that's messed up.

He said it's the first Maverick in the shop.

This totally sucks! I hope it works out for you. Kind of good that is the only Maverick they’ve seen.

Hopefully it's not the only one that they've sold!

Good luck! Seems to be a one off situation. Sucks it happened to you, but I’m sure they will make it right.

Ford official account? Thanks for the only email 10 months after your acknowledgement email of my order, appreciation of my patience. It really helps the disdain of your customer service.

They can only build em so fast, atleast they want to fix em fast if something goes wrong. Since you are only a potential customer until you take the keys(thank GOD that they have keys) I would say promptly jumping on a drivetrain issue 14 hours later is good customer service. I imagine if the world hadnt been broken over the last few years you would have your Maverick by now and would be real happy when Ford corporate asks to help with any issues that arise.

Im throwing my money at the torque converter or whatever these transmissions us for one. I do hate autos and really wish we had a manual option. Automatic transmissions really operate solely on faith in fluid pressure. They turn a liquid into a psuedo-solid and thats what pushes you.... uphills!
