Description of the problem | Grinding noise coming from the transmission, took car to two dealerships, both said the transmission was failing - march of 2018. Car has 135,000 miles on it. Ford had issued tsb 15-0174, which dealt with transmissions failing. Affected cars are c-max hybrids built between aug 8, 2012 and jun 17, 2014. Letters were to be sent out the week of nov 16, 2015. We purchased the car mid april of 2015 and are complaining because ford did not send us a letter although they knew we had bought this car? |
