Thanks to Ford premium care. My tranny  grenaded itself. It had 2qts of transmission fluid while it should have 10. The dealer is the only one that touched that part of the car. Glad I have the warranty it would be over 4k...

Well 2qts is not quite enough .... Good luck with the new tranny!! Glad it's covered!

How did you lose 8 qt's of trans fluid?  Was it leaking somewhere?  That's a pretty big leak.
They said there was no leak no signs of loss so idk maybe burned through it??

No signs of leaks from the PTU either?  That's the other place trans fluid would go IF it were present at all.

It's a closed system - there's no where for it to burn.  It's either leaking or it's in there.  Did somebody flush it or was any work done on it recently?

From all the fun i've had with it recently, i know trans fluid at the ptu pretty well.  He lost 8 qt's - that's a whole lot of trans fluid.  I lost barely any trans fluid and it was a mess under there.  It should be pretty obvious if that amount of trans fluid was getting in and out of the ptu.

Just the Ford dealer before I bought it

Just brainstorming for reasons, however unlikely. :)  a] I don't know the dealership or their reputation, b] I don't know the length of time this "issue" may have been occurring over.  When you DIY, you notice things much more than when someone else does the work, c] it seems highly unlikely so much fluid could have been lost and it not be noticeable performancewise over time.

Strange.  Seems like a negligence issue to me if there are no signs of leaks and no one's worked on it recently.  At least they're doing the warranty work free of charge.  Still a PITA.

How many miles on the car?  And has it ever had a trans flush done that you know of?

I haven't pushed it hard it has 85k on it. I don't do hard launches I have done one or two launches but only launched at 2k

No, i meant negligence on behalf of whoever worked on the car in the past.  Nothing you did.  Like drained the fluid and and forgot to put more in.  Something like that.  That's really the only explanation that i could think of where you'd be 8 qt's low with no leak anywhere.
