2014 - do the problems ever end?
Hey yall I’ve had my 2014 for about 7 years. Bought it off a little old lady who just used it for church and grocery runs. It’s got just over 62k miles on it now. About 5 years ago I had the transmission recall done, and it’s been bad ever since. I’ve tried taking it back to ford but apparently they don’t guarantee their own recall work. Ever since she’s made this knocking sound, and slips a little at stop lights. Yesterday I got the dreaded “Transmission fault” alert. Took it to Auto Zone and the only thing that coded was the battery (still under their warranty Whoo!) the alert code went away and she drove fine the rest of the afternoon. This morning driving home from the gym, she started lurching forward when I would brake. I have a little Fixd scanner and ran that and it still didn’t pull any codes. Any idea what could be going on?
I really wish there was a class action for these junky cars lol.
Edit to add: just drove it to work. Somewhere around 30-35 mph it hiccups. If I’m under that, or once I get past that it’s fine. I used to drive a manual in college so to me it seems like it doesn’t want to shift from 2nd to 3rd. Maybe it just needs a new clutch kit? I think the new battery is a band aid. Still no codes or dash alerts 😬
