[QUOTE="Dhowell, post: 1354460, member: 33381"] I just purchased a new 2018 Raptor yesterday (5/1/19). The truck had 53 miles on it when I picked it up and drove it off the lot. I purchased the vehicle online from a dealer in IL and was driving it back to CO, where I live. Blue with the black and orange seats and carbon fiber package. GORGEOUS. Full disclosure - I know next to nothing about cars/trucks. I can change my own oil, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes. At 295 miles on the odometer I pulled off the interstate for a bathroom break. At the bottom of the exit ramp I came to a stop. When traffic was clear I hit the gas, but the truck didn't move. The truck was still in drive, and I hadn't shifted it at all. The engine revved up, but no movement. I tried shifting into manual and moving through the gears but still nothing. I tried shifting into 4H and nothing. When I put the truck in park to try shifting back into drive, the transmission made a horrible grinding noise like something was trying to engage. I cried a little at the noise, but tried to put it back into drive as I was in the middle of the road. Nothing. No noise and no movement. I put it back into Park and the same horrible grinding noise. I was able to push the truck off the road and have the Ford roadside assistance come tow it. The dealer doesn't know what is wrong yet, but now I'm more than a little worried. They want to tow it back to their dealership, fix it, and then deliver it to me. I'm not sure what to do here. I love the truck (all 250 miles I got to drive it), but I fear this will tank the value as it will be on the CarFax report. A friend of mine that works in the service department at a Ford dealer is telling me I should refuse the truck and demand a new one or my money back. Is that even an option? Thanks in advance for whatever help/advice you all can offer. [/QUOTE]
