KonaJK Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 MKZ Hybrid Transmission leak (at 101k miles). Thought it was oil leak but confirmed coming from transmission. Car runs fine, no gear issues or high rpms. However, it will start whining noise when idle. leak continues- (I know it fluid must be filled by authorized dealer). Questions: want to resolve issue the lowest cost way…could I have the tranny re-sealed (gasket) and re-fill tranny fluid? Or is this a more substantial issue requiring repair or total replacement? I appreciate any feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multitask Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Not sure if it was you... but replacement of the gasket after 6 years would be the thing to look at.... if it's still loosing fluid, best to take it to a repair shop, like AAMCO or something or even the dealer.... could be something else....

Shane Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hi Kona, I'm having the same loud noise Trans issue as well with my 2014 hybrid. The dealer put a "re-manufacuted Trans" in it back in 2020 covered under Fords hybrid warranty and guess what??? The same shifty Trans issue is going on again. I took it in this past Monday for a regular scheduled oil change and now they telling me again.... Trans is leaking fluid. I told them they just put a "new Trans" in 2 years ago, not new since they saved themselves money but using old parts, but they then tell me I'm out of warranty period now that expired this past March and now I need a brand new $10,000 Transmission!!! I don't think it's ironic you having same issue I think it'd something with the hybrid Trans. Did you get yours looked at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 They were here Sept of 2021, so it is doubtful they will respond.... If the transmission is 10,000, might be time to just trade it in and get something that is 'better' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgood Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 i would like clarification on the lemon law for a transmission that has been replaced on my car by the manufacturer one time already and now needs to be replaced again. So this would be the third transmission. On 7/23/2022 at 12:46 PM, Shane said: Hi Kona, I'm having the same loud noise Trans issue as well with my 2014 hybrid.

Purchased the car from someone that just had the transmission installed by a ford dealer under the original warranty. They had it replaced in July of 2021. So its been about 2 years and one month since that time. What did you end up doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your vehicle is a 2017 model year: In many states, the Lemon Law only applies to the original vehicle owner, and for first 2 years/24,000 miles. And there is no automotive Lemon Law for vehicles which are well outside the 4 year/50,000 mile New Vehicle Warranty. Essentially, if this is a used vehicle you purchased, your recourse would be within whatever your Dealer contract states, and/or any used vehicle laws apply in your state (if any). Let us know how you make out and good luck. Edited September 1, 2023 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
