Consumer Description

While driving, the transmission shuddered and jerked. I took the car to my garage, where it was diagnosed as needing a new transmission. At the time it had 98,258 miles. The transmission was replaced on 9/1/2023. In September, 2024, the transmission fault message and the check engine light came on. I took the car to Duval Ford where the transmission was rebuilt under warranty. Mileage at that time was 118,754. It took the dealer 3 weeks to get the car back to me. Two weeks ago, again the transmission fault message and the check engine light came on. (Mileage 128,952) Currently I am waiting for a loaner car from Coggin Ford so they can repair the transmission. I have been only driving short distances because I am afraid the transmission will suddenly stop working and I will have an accident or be stranded. I might add that in my 60+ years of driving this is the first time I have ever had transmission problems.
