Post I think my f-150 just wants to throw the towel!.

To start with the f150 had been at the dealership for 2 weeks already for a/c problems they "replaced everything with new stuff", as they like to say at the dealerships. its still not cooling but since winter is on its way I decided to sacrifice the last days because I cant be with a car for naother 2 weeks, Next today i was in the freeway driving and when it came to accelrate the truck downshifted hard and stopped the truck almost getting me on a wreck with the car behind me!, alright I said ill just pretend that didnt happen, and know my transmission is going crazy!!!, I do have an edge tunner so i dont know if that is affecting the tranny :/, and the last thing that happened today is traction control issues i hear its normal but i just cant live with it anymore i was making a small slow turn and the truck activated the traction control making all kinds of noises and vibrations. I dont know any recommendations guys??, should i take it back tot he dealer to get all of that cheked or are they just gonna blame the flowmaster, and tunner and intake for those problems like they reg do.

They will blame the TCS issues on the level and tires 100% guaranteed.

Same situation. Having little picky issues that can't be fixed with program updates and greasing of parts. So I'm going back to dealer tomorrow to quote me a trade in. I already got one from another dealer already, and it's looking good I guess.

Well he said I can get a loaded fx2 ecoboost with all but no sunroof. It turned out to be an even swap really. I just have to decide if I want to do it.
I will be coming from a 4x4 that I don't really need as a daily driver.
Won't hurt to go and talk to them and see what they will give you. They knew I was unhappy and I would just keep bringing it in so we agreed on this deal. I'm going work the details out tomorrow.
Good luck
