Default Fords 700 million dollar transmission cover up
Interesting article in USA Today reference Fords cover up over issues with their transmissions over the years. It’s long but very interesting. Does mention the 2013 Ford F-150.

Does it say anything about that horrible whistle from the tranny in the cold months? My 09 drove me nuts with that, was worried my 16 would do the same but it doesn't.

Google it and pick your news site. Ford is in deep doodoo over the Ford Fiesta especially. Some people were having their transmissions replaced multiple times over.

I know the Focus tranny is a POS with the clutches failing, been there, done that, so far so good. But to post something with no links to back it up? C'Mon man!!!
