Grill shutters

[N1teM4r3]

The transmission in my 2020 Explorer st has been rebuilt and replaced at least 4 times. This latest transmission repair lasted about 3 weeks before the car started jerking. I towed it to the Ford dealership that did the repair. Now they're saying it's because my grill shutters aren't working and want me to pay $3,000 to repair the shutters. I can't find anything online that collaborates Ford's diagnosis or price. Any advice?

So let me get this straight, the dealer is saying that the shutters are the problem why the transmisssion is jerking?

Yea…that’s not right.

Maybe, and a very big maybe, by the shutters not opening, the fluid is not being properly cooled which is causing the transmission to overheat? I know it's a very long reach but maybe that's what they are trying to say.

The car would throw a fault code though if the tranny was overheating.

I was assuming it did. OP didn’t mention there were no codes and I don’t think all transmission codes will cause a CEL. I was just trying to come up with something, anything, that might be plausible. LOL!
