Wish me luck...
I just bought my truck a few weeks ago...
After the last truck being stolen, 6 days after I bought it, my brand new truck, that I depend on for work, is being towed to the dealer for a major transmission leak.
2011 F-250 6.2
Anyone heard of any problems with this?

A certain small percentage of vehicles manufactured have defects coming off of the assembly line. It appears yours was one. This is why you have a warranty.
The transmissions in the 2011 trucks are not known for leaking.

When it was on the flatbed last night (props to fords free roadside assistance with my warranty-here within 25 minutes), I looked under it, and it only looked to be leaking from the transmission pan. So, hopefully its an easy fix, as I need the truck tonight. =[

Yes, I wouldn't worry about it. They will get it fixed up. I bought my last truck, an 05 F150 FX4 brand new, and 4 days later with 400 miles on it the brake master cylinder blew out at a stop light. Luckily I didn't hit anyone. Dealer fixed it and I never had a problem with it after that. Had it for 5yrs and put 75k on it. Good luck.

Update...
The dealer called me today to tell me there was a mechanical failure of a line harness in the transmission. The part is special order only, and the dealer placed emergency status on it from Ford.
I asked when I would have my truck back...and they said, "We have no idea."
Awesome.

I have a loaner, a 2010 F150 4x4. Unfortunately it doesn't have a plow on it, and thats the nature of my business.
But got a call from the dealer and said they are working on a temporary fix to get me my truck back TODAY, and then when the part comes in, to fix it right then.
Sounds okay to me....I just need it back

I had a similar issue happen to me. My shift cable actually froze up on my 05 F350 got some ice in it when I was snow plowing. Part was not in stock and they said it would be a few days before they had the part. Not good when it had snowed a foot and they were predicting another 6". The tech made a different cable work me for for the time being. I had NO choice to have the truck down. We often hear about the bad dealers out there and seldom here of the good ones...
