Hello,
2012 Ford Fusion SEL 108,068 miles. In bit of a bad spot here. Long story short, Had the car in for the Power steering flash. Decided to have the tranny flushed. Drove home no problems as I drive pretty conservatively. Next day had to pass a car and accelerated. Car started revving and bucking and clunking. Pulled over and checked the fluid and no fluid was registering on the dip stick. Bone dry!
Called the dealer and they 1st suggested I drive to Auto Parts store and pick up some fluid. I refused. Then they said to come down and pick some up from their shop. I refused and requested they tow it back to their shop.
It arrived this AM and I went in the shop with the Tech and we confirmed that no fluid was registering on the dip stick. I walked back to the waiting room shaking my head.
He came out 1/2hr later and said he added 1 1/2 Qts and test drove it. No shifting problems and no codes present.
Service manager said he could not give me any kind of Warr on a tranny with 108K. Lots more dialogue but I will spare you the garbage he was shoveling.
No sure what to do. I guess it's time to trade it in. To me it's a $4K ticking time bomb now.
What would you do? I took a video showing no fluid in case I needed it.
I normally do all my own wrenching for this very reason. The one time I decide to have a dealer work on my car and this happens.
