Brand New 2023 1,200 mi blew transmission while driving

[Mace66]

Just got my 2023 37P a week and a half ago and was driving home today and my transmission blew. Fluid all over the road and was stranded on the highway. This isn’t suppose to happen with a band new vehicle with 1,200 mi.

Anyone have a similar experience? I wonder how long this will take to fix.

Damn I hate to read these threads. Of course it's a truck and can happen but sucks. Open a case with Ford ASAP and keep us updated on progress and dealer/Ford interactions.

Pics if possible.

Open a case with Ford? I wasn’t aware I could do anything besides hand it over to the dealer.

There was a problem with a transmission cooler line. A few threads on the issue. Sounds like your problem. Dealership will get you sorted out.

You don't have to, but it creates a paper trail you might need down the road, plus they can expedite things and gets dealer attn. Do what you want.

Read through the thread below. Seems you‘ve had a similar problem. Sucks that it happened but dealer will get you squared away.

2022 Raptor blew up - 133 miles

I guess I wasn’t so lucky after all… I was driving back home after taking delivery from dealership. Smoke billowing behind me. Pulled off interstate and trans shifted in P in middle of intersection. Trans oil everywhere. Only 133 miles. On my 40th bday weekend. Ford better escalate this...

That old saying that the competitor brand fanboys say, how does it go? Fix Or Repair Daily. That’s what it’s really starting to look like. Never have owned a Ford product outside a 2019 F550 dump body that I bought brand new and use for my construction work. No problems so far on that but about to pick up a Gen 3 this week and I’m getting scared. Seeing a bunch of problems so far. Transmission, snapped Axles, rattles, vibrations, what’s next? Where is the quality control Ford?

There will be problems with all makes. Let’s not overreact.
