Whoa, I'm not experiencing that at all, thank God. Ok, thanks for the confirmation about the slight skipping of gear progression, glad to hear others have seen it and it's nothing to worry about.

I just chatted with Ford Support, and looks like my drivetrain warranty is good for another three more years. Hopefully it won't be necessary (crossed fingers)...

Here’s hoping for a better experience than I had. I don’t have a problem with the dealer - they just had to be the bearer of bad news. From drop off to pickup of completed repair was 10 weeks. TEN WEEKS.

Good luck!
