Just approved a transmission replacement for a 2020 Connect, the Ford dealer is accepting a unit from the fleet company. We'll see how this goes...almost a $10k repair on a vehicle with 80k...they had to repair a misfire before properly diagnosing the transmission. 3 year warranty on the transmission.
The only Ford I would ever consider buying would be a hybrid Maverick. I've had more bizarre and expensive repairs on these Fords than anything else. We've switched to buying GMs.
