Emmyosodi Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I have a 2013 Ford Edge with Ecoboost Engine. My transmission has failed twice this year alone. For each time it failed, I drove it for 4 month between the time it failed and the time it was fixed. Recently, I got a transmission from a scrapped Edge with low millage and fixed it on my vehicle. Upon fixing the transmission, during the first test drive, the spanner sign came on again and the vehicle started accelerating reluctantly. This was the issues the initial transmission was exhibiting before we decided to change it. Would appreciate any insight on these and possible solution on this persistent transmission failure. I trust I would get the solution on this forum. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 First, we need to know the symptoms that led you to believe that the transmission had failed. Including any codes set in the PCM. Second, please provide details on maintenance to the engine and transmission prior to the first and second failures. The PCM controls transmission shift behavior, so if the engine is not running right, it will affect transmission shifting. The transmission is electrically controlled, so failure in sensors could easily cause transmission problems. But since transmission replacement did not fix it, I do not believe the issue is the transmission. These 6Fxx transmissions LOVE new fluid, you will want to change frequently to keep them running correctly. Since you are in a tropical zone, severe/special operating conditions apply. Every 3 years/50K kms on the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explorer Fan Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 My 2013 Ford Edge had a transmission issue. It has 97000 miles on it. Took it to a dealer and they replaced 2 parts costing over $1800. After driving for 2 weeks, transmission locked up in 2nd gear. Then it just started skipping gears intermittently. Took it back to dealer and was told the transmission was just coming apart piece by piece and I needed to replace it at a cost of $8000! This is ridiculous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a Ford dealership? Have you had a discussion with the service manager regarding a discount for the $1,800 spent two weeks prior - they some responsibility regarding assessing the viability of spending that much. Any chance you can post the invoice/job card for the $1,800 work, with your personal details redacted? And the same for the replacement quote.
