Transmission started slipping really bad even down shifting so hard felt like u hit something luckily i had an extended warranty so it should be covered. It's been 11 days i still haven't gotten my car back. Looked online seems like a lot of people have this same problem. I think ford should be investigated for another potential faulty transmission

This has been going on for about 2 months now. Nothing seems to resolve the issue. This occurs everyday, regardless of engine…
