[QUOTE="Bmwdude, post: 1270484, member: 19634"] Not completely sure what to do now... I've had my 17 Raptor since January of 2017, and sadly choose to purchase it out of state (I live in California) to get one at MSRP rather than the 25k over dealerships were asking. I say sadly because my truck is a complete lemon by California law but not by Illinois I guess. I've owned my truck for 17 months and it's been at one dealership or another for 105 days and counting (12 different trips not including regular maintenance). All for the same two issues: transmission gets stuck in 7th gear, and the truck runs hot (235-245 WT). The dealerships seem to have no control, and the Ford "Hotline" is a massive joke. They told Serramonte Ford to replace the TCM 4 times. They told them that the truck was not overheating and comparing a 2018 Raptor to a 2017 Raptor was not effective because they have different powertrains (this is completely false). They told them to replace the valve body even after the techs asked to replace the transmission. They told Towne Ford to replace a valve body that has already been replaced, per prior “hotline” suggestion. Not sure what to do or who to call. This truck is truly a Lemon and no one can fix it.
