They told me that it was the transmission valve body and that it would have to be replaced. The truck has a 100k drivetrain warranty right? They told me that the valve body...which is inside the transmission, was not covered by the drivetrain warranty. $850 estimate. Does this sound right?
And then, after you have it repaired under warranty, be sure and call Ford's customer service folks and file a complaint against this dealer. Be very specific when you call.
But, here my question. Did the 5 year / 60K mile drive train warranty start in the beginning of the '07 model year? Or, was it instituted mid season?
Edit: I read through the link and answered my own questions. Model Year 2007 vehicles come with the 5yr / 60K mile coverage for all internal drive train components.
Make that call and raise hell.
