Best warranty out there is the Mopar 999,000 miles or 99 years, whichever comes 1st. Transmission fixed in that time for $100. Only thing not covered is things that wear out like brakes, tires etc

People just so you know there is really no fixing a transmission. Best you can drop the pan and flush. A lot of times that can even make it worse especially as mileage gets higher. It's basically a complete rebuild or replacement job. Other things can cause shifting issues and codes to pop up but if it really is the transmission, that's it.

this is correct. Unless under warranty. Dealerships churn and burn new techs to keep costs low. The good independent shops are paying good techs 100k+. Dealers don't care if parts are thrown at it if they are getting paid anyway.

What’s a guy like you doing owning a vehicle long enough to worry about a transmission issue?
I had a new F150 in which the transmission was hesitating in 3rd gear. Truck was only 10 months old. Luckily it was under warranty and new transmission put in. Audubon Ford had the truck from May-August. Cost our company over $5K in truck rental. Would have used insurance but they kept telling us couple more weeks.

Spent 6k replacing a bad transmission in a 2016 Suburu with 80 thousand miles. Transmission’s are expensive!

The dealer is the last place you want working on your transmission, they can barely complete oil changes. Take it to a real transmission shop.

No extended warranty. I feel like I’m fricked.
LOL. You fricked yourself. Who in thier right mind buys an American automobile without an extended warranty?

What was wrong with the transmission? Sometimes it's the TCM (transmission control module.) That's a pretty easy fix, but it still costs $1k.
What exactly did they do to repair your transmission? What were the symptoms? What does the invoice say they did?
It would seem that there should have been some diagnostic done before and after. Get yourself one of those scan tools, so you can see if you're getting trouble codes.

Give em a chance to correct the problem. Try to be patient and pleasant. It helps a lot.
The covid lockdowns were in part to keep us from driving our new Fords and discovering how effed they built em 2018-2019.
Every time you post it reminds me of the nineties…

We had an Expedition years back that started shifting crazy. Really felt like the transmission was phucked. Planned on bringing it to a transmission shop on the Monday but did some research over the weekend online. Found someone with same problem and turned out to be a bad coil pack. Changed all 8 and it shifted like new.

It's their tech and sloppy checking or testing. Transmission repairs require a lot of attention to detail regarding the functioning of soleniods, valve bodies, etc. I'd request that it be done right for the $2K.

chances are that they will say it was something else and you'll be charged

Most of them do for some reason or another these days. You just hope it is a small repair. Some dealerships and manufacturers take care of their customers, and some just go by the book on warranty. My wife was driving a Honda a while back, and it was an automatic but it felt like a manual slipping out of gear. Took it to the local Honda dealer a couple of times, but they never were able to get it to do that when test driving it. They ended up just doing a complete transmission replacement and gave us a steep discount since it was just out of warranty. I think that was back in the days of 60 months/60k mile warranties, and it had somewhere between 60-70k miles on it at the time. Never had another problem with it and we kept it another 5 years or so.

Still don’t understand why people don’t buy Toyota.
Posted on 5/5/25 at 9:21 am to Slippy
Well the biggest question is did you pay for it with cash and did you let everyone know that you did?
