- RVC update. TSB #17-NA-269
- Trans shudder between 25-40 MPH, failure to unlock/kick down. Torque convertor replacement. TSB #18-NA-177
- Bed leans 3/4" to driver side. TSB #18-NA-108
- B pillar rattle on passenger side.
- Steering column rattle & creak.

I'm getting a loaner, service manager was peering over SA's shoulder as she recorded my complaints and basically nodded with each one saying that my issues shouldn't be an issue to address. So, fingers crossed.
That's quite the laundry list. Was the OG torque converter designed incorrectly or something?

If I try to make it happen, I can make it happen.

I've trained myself to press the gas pedal harder to initiate a kickdown instead of letting the engine lug - it's not major but it's perceptible. Feels like driving over rippled pavement.
Welcome to my neighborhood. Literally doe.

I'm surprised the vapemobile doesn't sound like a box of loose legos.

Who knows. It's a well-documented issue on the Camaro, Corvette, and Canyonado twins.

There's an official TSB fix for it and they were receptive to my complaints, so :aintcare:
Well. 1st gen of new equipment type issues. At least they have a TSB and updated parts out.
Honestly though it sounds like the new Tacos are more of a basket case of piddly stupid teething issues.

Interesting... I think mine might be doing this a bit. Speed seems accurate with what I experience, but I started to just give it more gas to alleviate.

I love the way your car feels at speed.

The issue seems to be sporadic. Mine doesn't exhibit any symptoms...and if it does, I guess I can't tell?

Last week we were getting in the truck around dusk, and :tits: stops dead in her tracks and says "the truck is purple then it's blue!". For some reason at dusk, the paint turns purple at an angle, but blue when dead-on. So it changes colors as you walk around it. She was :mindblown: It is a pretty neat and unique color.

:dat: depending on how the light is hitting it you see the blues and purples in it. It really is a cool color.

Error 404: Sunday not found
:derp: I was looking at the eagles schedule and they're playing at night on 10/11 which I thought was a sunday. I'm good for the 14th.

I've been itching to drive the :gorf: in a manner other than commuter. And before the summer ramz and tarz come off.

:dat:

:iono:

Torque converter seems like they have more opportunities to fuck shit up than they do to make it nice. If it stops being the donut hydraulic pump that I need it to be, I'll ask for it to be changed.
The trans does seem a bit dim and slow to respond at times, but I just goose it more.

Ok, mine doesn't do that at all.

[user not found] wrote: Mon Oct 08, 2018 10:11 am Spent the last 4 days driving in the Poconos - confirmed transmission/torque convertor issue. Ended up putting it in tow/haul mode to make it behave more proper, but noticed a lot of shuddering/chuggling under load when climbing hills and the transmission didn't react fast enough.

Truck was dropped off at the diller this morning for my laundry list of issues. Fingers crossed the 3 big ones with TSBs attached to them are addressed.

On the bright side, I got 22 MPG on the highway coming home on Sunday.
The number of issues you’ve had with your 4 :truk: is staggering. Hope they fix it

I read up on the TSB, and put mine to the test. The transmission acts as it should, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
Also, there's no squeaks or rattles, only thing is the lean, and I'm not in a huge hurry to fix it.

I'll send you my shim kit if you want to do it yourself.

I'm waiting to see what the dealer does. Apex got a whole new driver side spring pack.
:dat: I was hella surprised they gave me a whole new spring pack instead of just a shim. :notbad:

Not have to talk to the dealership and get my truck fixed? Win-Win to me.

Oh no. I had a rental Escape with the 1.5T. That engine was.... ok I guess.... for normal putting around. Put your foot in it and you quickly learned that it was giving 100% of what it had while you were just normal putting around. It had no balls on the highway.
