Need Help Zf Problems

[nathanway]

hello ive ownd my fg xrt6 for 6 months now and have been saving and waiting for the first service before I void the warranty only problm from day one its had problems and has been waiting to get in for warranty for months with no actual action happening now the problem is getting worse and its dew for its service and I cant start my mods till the warranty has fixed the cars gearbox im getting abit shvty with ford. the car wen in park the cars idles irregularly and if u try and touch the throttle and hold it at say 1000 rpm it dances around from 800-1200 . wen in drive sitting still it it vibrates like vvvvv,,,,vvvvvv,,,,vvvvv,,,,,vvvvv, like once per sec and the rpm dances around 550- 750 ... also is very clunky going back to first

getting very annoying my flash new car wich I brough to do up is stuck standard till ford can find time to deal with a non paying customer I feel like im being ignored and they think that ill just mod the car void the warranty and leave them alone . how long is normal to wait to have them see your car because its been close to 3 months and still they cant seem to see the car. im not game enough to just start moding it and let my tune shop deal wit the auto becuase knowing my luck it'll be rooted and ill loose all the money ive save to do her up on a new box

its a 08 fg xr6t 6 speed auto 70xxxklms

problems so far are

horn stop working (fixed)

engine belt pully bearing went (fixed)

cracked ac ducting leaking water in cabbin(fixed)

thurmostat in display was wrong(fixed)

gearbox problems and irregular idle

extreemly squeeky brakes that felt horroble(sorta fixed)

this is the first ford ive ownd and the car is amazin for the price I payed, is this just the norm a ford and partly y it was so cheep what do u guys think

Ford can't look at it or the dealer can't look at it?

If the dealer has had you waiting for that long then it's time to find another dealer or complain to Ford customer service.

Check coolant, does it look milky? Read the ZF milkshake threads, sounds like the symptoms most describe.

Is it a mk2? If not there is an updated pcm calibration to fix poor cold start idle characteristics on fg turbos

get it to another dealer asap... or ring ford

that's pretty poor form from them imo to make you wait 3 weeks longer than you already have given the symptoms you've been describing. even when they do fix it I'd be complaining deluxe.
