$8,000+ new transmission? 4 years 10 months but 72,000 miles !
 

Dealers says I need a new transmission for my 2018 F150 Platinum. Less than 5 years old. @72,000 miles. Warranty is 5 years and 60,000 miles so I’m beyond the allowed mileage.

I’ve heard bad transmissions is a known issue for 10 speed 2018 F150s.

any advice on how to work with Ford to have them cover the repair? Or most of it? Thanks!

I have a 2019 F150 Ecoboost. I have 79,000 miles. So, like you I am on my own as far as cost. I took it to the dealer who said it was a CDF Drum problem. I was shocked on the price. 8700 for a new one with a 2 year warranty or 5700 for a rebuilt. After 79000 miles there is this problem? Also, there have been no apparent improvements to the problem. I asked, "so, am I gonna have to come in here every 3 years to fix a transmission? After research, there are many ford trucks or other cars that use this transmission. Why isn't Ford strepping up to the plate and taking responibility for this? I have owned 11 trucks in my day and I have always been very happy until this crap came along. Come on Ford, get you head out of your ass and fix this!

Check out in your area who will install a remanufactured trans. They come with a good warranty, but might cost a little more.
Who ever installs it must follow certain installation procedures so the warranty is good. One of those requirements is to have the trans cooler flushed, which a lot of placed just don't do.
