Update:
I stopped by the dealership to get all my stuff out of the vehicle. I’m operating on the hopes that I will never see this thing again but I don’t know if that will happen or not.
The dealership has a very large shop and it’s immaculate and every bay was in use. The service rep was really great and very forthcoming. He showed me several cars that have been waiting on various parts, many trans related, for weeks to months.
We went through my vehicles entire service history, a lengthy one with items even I had forgotten, it was a stroll down memory lane that I would have preferred to be shorter and filled with something other than random repair after repair.
The transmission has been worked on a few times, some reprogramming and some valve body stuff.. idk. Theres also been a constant complaint when in excite or 4x4 of the vehicle skipping, it’s been in several times and never resolved. Possibly related, who knows.
Service rep said it’s possible they over filled when doing multipoint inspection and it just vented out when crossing the mountains. Again, idk. Temps got to 240… not catastrophic but hotter than I’ve ever encountered in this vehicle.
It’s going to be weeks before they have more info. They have one main trans tech and the supervisor who is also a trans tech… mine got assigned to the supervisor guy, idk if this is good or not.
I’m going to have to beg, borrow, or steal a loaner from Lincoln. I am not happy about this. We paid to extend the Lincoln concierge service through out the duration of the extended warranty and service plan. They should be giving me similar vehicle to mine but this has only happened one time and that navigator was recently purchased at auction (auction writing still on glass) and the tires were shot. One time they gave me a nautilus and none of the forward lighting was functional… no headlamps or directional lights. Idk who didn’t check the lights after the massive warning popped up in the cluster but they drove that pos to my house anyway and left it for me to drive my kids around in…. Good times.
Anyway, I’ll continue to update this thread and respond to anyone who comes to share their stories of disappointment and dissatisfaction. I’m not one to dwell on the negative but sometimes sh*t talking about the cause on enormous consternation can be cathartic.
