I’m new here but I want to know if I should be worried. I have a 2021 Explorer ST and since yesterday it’s been lagging in reverse. When I put it in reverse and hit the accelerator it won’t go. Until 2-3 seconds later it’ll start backing up fast. I only have like 10k miles on it. I got this car because I previously had own a 2013 Explorer sport and a turbo blew and didn’t want to put money into fixing it. Now I’m very scared I might have issues with transmission. I know nothing about cars at all. And I just wanted a new car that wouldn’t give me issues for a very long time. And it hasn’t been a year since I got it and it’s already giving me issues. I’ll have a year in May. Can someone please help out and give me an idea of what I’m facing. I’m taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning. But I need to know how to explain it please.

Yes, they are required to give you a loaner while under warranty. The dealership will be reimbursed by Ford while the vehicle is in for warranty work. I went through this several months ago when both my catalytic converter and throttle body went bad about the the same time. Dealer balked at loaner by got me one with a few hours after a call to Ford Customer Service.

So fortunately I was able to sell the car. I only owed about 5k on it and they appraised it at 51k! So I’m very grateful that despite the problems it had I was able to get my money back. Now I’m car hunting AGAIN but definitely won’t be going to Ford ever again. Or at least not anytime soon. The dealership offered me a Rental car idk if it was the same thing as a loaners vehicle. But I refused it and sold the car instead.
