Does anybody have a clue what the current timelines are for a dealer to get a transmission?

My 2021 with 1,090 miles needs a new one. Throwing a low pressure code, dealer went to replace the valve body (without any diagnosis other than pulling the code) and found metal shavings in the pan. Pathetic for 1,000 miles. Been in the shop for 27 days and they’re just now getting to this stage to know they need a new transmission.

Three more days, file the lemon law and get a 2022.
Not much help I know sorry. Transmissions here in Jacksonville are about the same time frame.

Good morning! Can you please send over a message with your VIN and the name/location of the dealer you are working with? I would like to see what I can do to assist with your truck's transmission repairs.

Woohoo - the truck threw another super hard shift at 3800 rpm and gave me the service engine soon light. Nice grinding noise afterwards. I pulled over, turned the truck off and back on, no grinding noise no service light. I’m at 2,700 miles and having this crap happen again. I don’t want to go to the dealer because I know I’ll be in for the long haul of months waiting on a transmission. I wish Ford would just buy this shit back.

My transmission hard shifts quite often. When I took it to the dealer last time they said it didn't have any fault codes and they couldn't reproduce the problem. They had the balls to say my transmission is still learning my driving patterns. I've had it for 1 year and 3 months. Still learning, WOW!!!

It’s absolute garbage. Ford gave me my truck back after 29 days last time so I couldn’t file a lemon complaint. If I take it again, I can file for lemon (maybe) as it’s the same problem and will have been over 30 days total. I just don’t want to sit around without a truck for months until it either gets a new transmission or the lemon process is done. Rock and a hard place. Really crappy with only 2,700 miles.
