Another update: Called Ford customer service again today regarding my issues and they are going to reimburse me for a rental vehicle. Essentially I’ll send them the final receipt at the end of my rental and they will send me a prepaid debit card for the amount. Not ideal, but better than...

While I appreciate your input on this, I think you’ve just had a good experience while there are many people who have not. I know multiple people outside of this forum who have had issues with Ford transmissions lately (not just the 10R60) that have been similar. My dealership even mentioned the...

It’s interesting that so many people are having transmission issues. I wonder, did your dealer facilitate the rental or is that something you went to Ford directly for? I was told to pound sand (more or less) when I asked about a loaner or rental from Ford corporate. Also, do you think the...

Hi all, Over here from my own post (https://www.explorerst.org/threads/transmission-grinding.4187/). Currently awaiting a new transmission and considering pursuing a buy back or replacement due to the length of time the vehicle has been out of/will be out of service. Has anyone here decided to...

That’s good, at least. Were you having similar issues with your transmission or was it something else?

Wow, that’s ridiculous. Do you have the extended service plan?

My vehicle was also treated very well, with the majority of the miles driven being on the highway. Like I said before-I still love a lot of things about this car. The durability issues and the number of mechanical failures I’m seeing aren’t great. This unrelated to a discussion about...

I’m not looking to get into a debate regarding economics or healthcare here. Nor am I looking to overlook the quality issues with this product. If you don’t like my thought process, that’s fine. You’re entitled to deal with these issues in your own way just as I am entitled to deal with them in...

So the rough shifting ranged from a jerky shift to an audible thud that was very noticeable not just because of the noise, but because it slammed me forward. The grinding was a little harder to hear. I had to turn off the AC/Radio, leave the windows up, and it would start as soon as the car went...

As I’m sure you already know, lemon laws are different in every state. Since I live in California, my dealership and Ford are afforded either 4 opportunities to fix a minor problem, or 2 opportunities to fix a major problem. I would consider the transmission in my vehicle failing a major...

Ok folks, here we go… Got a call from my Ford dealer yesterday. The first thing they did when starting to work this problem was drop the transmission pan. The service manager said he couldn’t believe what he saw. Large chunks of metal and a ton of metal shavings were in the pan and my...

After doing a little research and reading the paperwork I received from my local dealer a little more closely, it looks like the vehicle is tentatively diagnosed with SSM 50529 (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10208154-0001.pdf). I called Ford Customer Care regarding this issue and...

Went and picked up the ST today. Both of the recalls (22S27 and 21S44) were completed. No resolution on the transmission grinding or the hard shifting. I now have an appointment to bring the vehicle back on the 8th of August for a complete transmission tear down and overhaul to further diagnose...

Well, I figured I would update this thread to let everyone know what’s going on. I spoke with my local Ford dealer this afternoon and they said they have no idea what is causing this issue. They are keeping the car overnight so they can do a series of tests (starting with the power train cold...

Hi All, Long time reader, first time posting. However, I wanted to check and see if anyone else was having a grinding noise happen in certain gears on their ST. 1st and 2nd are totally fine, but 3-6 have this weird grinding noise that sounds kind of like it’s coming from the front passenger...
