458 Speed Sensor / Gear box

Find another dealer.

 

Agree with Wthensler. This is the ONLY reason i've kept the new power warranty for this ridiculous factory defect transmission that they should be covering warranty or not. What's very strange though is everyone ive read thats gotten that failure has the transmission lamp come on. I think you should just go to another dealer or since it sounds like your out of warranty maybe a good independent.

 

Do you or they put the extra 0 in there? You mean $5,200 or $11,000, right?

 

That price is obscene, replacing the entire thing i believe is around 30k. Oh and theres a few shops that specialize in the rebuilds. I believe the sensor is around 1800 and they can fix it pretty easily. Theres even a few dealers who can do it at nowhere near the cost. If you do a quick search its been discussed and there are both independent and F dealers named who'll do the repair/rebuild

 

If they'll sell you a brand new gearbox and install it for $11k, I'm tempted to order one and keep it in the attic until I need it. :-D

 

I think he mixed up the prices of the repair vs the whole gear box.
I'm guessing it was supposed to be $52k for the whole assembly, vs $11k for replacing the sensor.
I have heard of prices along the lines of $35k for transmission replacement, or $7k for the sensor replacement.
For now, I just pray that my car doesn't become a victim of this any time soon.

 

My Car had a clutch temp sensor come on.

When it went in for repair they ran a full diagnostic online to Italy. The factory picked up an underlying issue with the CCP too. They suggested it be replaced.

I have seen the actually online reports, they were screen shot and sent to me.

Just ask for those. If it’s been detected by the factory like mine I’d be pretty comfortable it’s not the dealer taking you for a ride.

It looks like this. This was their reply when asked what to do with the underlying fault that was detected.

…..has anyone ever filed a class action lawsuit for what appears to be a latent defect that could effect safety? Just asking, not suggesting.
