Started payments on my 2016 in May of 2017. Soon found out about shudder on the car, then made plans for Tom's tune. I have it now, finally got it this year.
Carfax had 14M02 work in February of 17. Seeing as how the car had 45k when I got it, probably was done between 40-45k
Now I'm up to 84k, and yesterday I go to leave a red light, and the car didn't seem like it wanted to go. Tachometer seemed frozen for a couple seconds, then the revs dropped like it was downshifting and I was on my way.
I left a stop again and once again, another goofy shift, not as bad as before. Seems like these TCMs average 40k before their deathbed based on other posts I've seen. I fail to understand why Ford cannot get this fixed. I know it could be something else, but I see it as unlikely.
Anyone gotten more than 40-60k out of a TCM? I love having Tom's tune but if I'm gonna have to keep replacing the damn TCM every couple years, I can't exactly see keeping the car beyond the TCM extension. At least not once it's payed off. I wanted to drive the car until it died completely but it seems like I'll just be nickel and dime'd if I do that, considering the average repair is $1200 outside the warranty.
