Wow. So much effort and pain. Hope the new gearbox works out. I wonder whether a full replacement 10R80 is the only long term solution? It would be interesting to know how many transmissions Ford has paid to replace?

19/MY20. Done only about 8,000 miles! I really don’t know. But given the vehicle was in at dealer for annual service and for a professional diagnosis of the two transmission problems (high pitched whine for vehicles built Oct-Dec 19 and harsh shifting), I would hope so. Dealer reported both...

Doesn't seem to matter whether my vehicle is warm or cold. Or if I start off in normal for a while before moving into Sport or Sport+. The harsh shifts can happen at any time. Also doesn't matter if you drive the vehicle more aggressively or gently. Some of the harshest shifts have been when...

Hope it works out. Interested to know if it does.

This happened to my 18/MY19. Happened a few times. Could have killed me ... car was always fully warmed up. Always a Give Way type intersection where you don't come to a complete stop before turning. Pulling out into traffic and it not finding a gear. Just revved ... and then ever so slowly it...

1. Can anyone say their harsh shifts have been fully fixed by Ford according to their TSB 24-2101? 2. Also, for those who have an Oct-Dec 19 built MY20, did Ford approve the high-pitched whining repair according to their TSB 20-2198? If so, did the repair fix the problem? Note: this is...

My MY20 back window leaked water through to interior so dealer first tried to have glass replaced/resealed. Even though the glass itself is supposedly a Ford spare part, the dealer could not find any glass repairer in Melbourne, Australia who would attempt the replacement, for fear of damaging...

This happened to my 2015 built MY16 GT convertible. Had been driving the car for a few kilometres then for no reason the driver's door popped open along with the dashboard warning message. Reported to dealer and who knows what they did, if anything. But never happened again.

The evap and compressor were replaced late last year. Ever since I've had this erratic fan speed that surges every 12 secs. Sometimes gurgling noises come from behind dash at same time, in same rythym. Ford says all normal. "They all do it". This is rubbish as I have personally experienced...

If u mean a/c compressor, yes. Still makes noise with a/c off.

That they all have erratic fan speed. Which is simply not true because mine didn’t have this. I also haven’t yet found this ‘characteristic’ personally in any other car ... only some on this forum. Still not resolved yet.

Thanks GT Pony. That’s my conclusion too, unfortunately. Will advise what the dealer thinks.

Thanks for your replies guys ... Yes, 2016 GT. Here is another video with a few revs. The knocking seemed to get faster I thought but there was other mechanical noise competing .. It mostly makes the noise when warm, not usually when cold. You can also hear in cabin at low speeds

Is this piston slap? Doesn’t sound like bbq tick. It has too much rhythm. Something else?

Yes. Has anyone had this resolved? Mine only started doing this, along with intermittent gurgling/grinding noises from behind dashboard, after the compressor and evaporator were replaced. Dealer thought it a problem until Ford got involved. Ford said it was a characteristic and they all do it.

Anyone here in Melbourne who could help me benchmark my car's A/C issues? I'm being told things some things are 'characteristics' and normal to the model but I don't believe them. If you don't mind giving up a few minutes of your time please PM me and we can discuss. Thanks :)

Good for those who have had no further issues with their a/c post the major surgery. Thanks for the feedback :) Will see if I can find any correlation between my bluetooth phone connected and the surging. But it happened for the dealer without my phone present so my guess is that it's not...

Good advice thanks GT 550. Will do. Anyone else has the a/c 'surge' that I described?

My car has joined 'the club'. First diagnosis was re-gas and die test. Repair didn't last and system failed completely a few months later. Therefore the big repair ... took about 5 days. Evaporator and compressor replaced. Since the repair, vehicle has: 1. Intermittent a/c creaks and groans...

Great thread - thanks to everyone who has contributed to this - helped to make my decision on choosing a new exhaust a lot easier. A big shout-out to Fred from Suspension Parts Online. His advice and in particular his offer of demonstrating the Borla S-Type (cat-back) made it easier to...
