Just putting down a rough timeline for everyone to see what's happening


First case CAS-32697335-M9B1Y3

June 1st - go to Virginia for family project
June 26th - buy Ford ST
June 27th - drive home to Florida due to father having 2 strokes.

July 30 - Mom retires LTC & Civil service

Aug 3th - return to VA to continue project
Aug 5th - Father falls and breaks hip due to strokes
Aug 5th - 2021 ford St trans poops the bed leaving me stranded in Va.
Aug 6th - return to Florida in Ford Loaner after having to create a case with Ford to get any help
Aug 7th - surgery

Aug 16th - I return to get Ford St (24 hour round trip I had to do) it now has a new Trans, torque converter, trans cooler
Drop off loaner

Aug 25th - 9 whole days later
Having lost confidence in the 2021 Ford ST we decided to take a Loss....
a HUGE loss like 14k if I remember, Sam? To trade down into a 2021 F150 (my second purchase from yall) and place an order for a 2022 Escape (3rd).

Aug 26th/27th - I had to get the wheels on there for them to be covered by the warranty so that was 4k dropped.. and while there I was able to get it tinted 250. Immediately following that I go to the dealer and get it aligned and inspected for warranty and safety. After that I head home and it gets it's very first fillup on the way.

Aug 29th - the truck starts making the worst possible sound I mean you can see in the video.

Aug 30 - I'm back in the dealership dropping off the truck do to the screeching thinking something simple like a pully...

Sept 2 - I find out it's the trans and then the trans tech is unavailable... .... for a week or more to a very tragic event and honestly ....I can't ......a second 2021 with a trans issue... I just want a truck that isn't going to break before the very first payment..

Lol I mean I was told this is rare... but honestly for me.... it's not it's a repeat and if I take another financial loss because of Fords products. .... I mean really I can't express my frustration and disappointment.

Lucky for me I have Dave and Sam on the job. Working to find me something close to it so we can swap out the vin's on the Ford Financing

F-150 21 Iconic Silver STX
reading this makes me feel like my situation isn't that bad...lol
no one should have to go through this with a BRAND NEW vehicle. I have a 21 STX and its been in the shop for over 35 days since July 31st. I have a case with Ford open to buy back the truck. I can't have something unreliable especially something that cost 45k!


good luck with the escape!

Just gotta text from the sales manager should have a resolution tonight.. fingers crossed I had it for 5 days then it's been there for 11 ??‍♂? supposedly they can let me pick any truck and swap the vin on the Ford Financing paperwork.. has to be more or exactly the same and if more I have to cover the difference on the spot. So I'm correcting and getting the xlt mid package 4x4 this time in blue ? if it goes according to plan... we will see

mid level XLT is a nice package in my opinion.
I only added a few things to mine.
big tank, hd wheels, locking rear, console, step boards (super 8, 5.0, 4x4)

more than happy with it, despite the few things I despise that seem to be common or federally in all new cars.
keyless entry is very nice, I’m prone to locking keys in the car.

Update:
Nothing wrong with new truck or trans... turns out unrelated issue causing crankcase pressure but ended up trading it in for more then I paid for it, for a slightly different truck worked out I guess lol
