So yesterday at the end of the day I get the 2019 Explorer serviced, just rolled to 95k miles. Service included lube oil filter and a trans fluid exchange, I still do not see the point in extracting the fluid and replacing it to run the clean fluid through a dirty filter?
But not my call.
So as usual I drive home and the SUV sits in my drive over night, so today I get about 20 miles up the mountain and, great I can smell burning oil and the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree! So I find a spot to pull over, and see Trans fluid everywhere and
Smoking like all get out from landing on the exhaust.
Long story short I got to baby sit my SUV for 2 hours. But seriously are the fittings not idiot proof? Apparently not, now after it gets towed we are looking at a minimum of 30 days for new transmission. Gotta love this stupid pandemic and people that can not double check their work.
Rant off
