The fly bit was hilarious. That thing needs attention for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I've got a 2015 Chevrolet 1500 4x4 High Country Crew Cab and at approximately 61500 miles the transmission started to shutter! The dealer was very aware of the problem but quickly let me know that it was out of warranty!! I took it to a recommended transmission shop that did a complete trans fluid flush and refill with the newly recommended Mobil 1 transmission fluid and they also changed the filter and flushed the lines ECT. I was very fortunate because mine had just started to get the shutter! It cost me almost $400 but I've put another 30,000 miles on it with no problems thus far! IMHO, Chevrolet should recall every dang one of the problematic transmissions!! Thanks Kenny

my wife bought a 2015 escape. after the dealer kept messing up simple things i took over. i pulled the plug on the trans and burned liquid came out. and not much. my thoughts are that in the 81k miles that service had never been done. they told my wife they put a new motor in the car ( it failed 2 days after she brought it home) so i pulled the oil plug. also burned black and less that spec. yeah they totally put a new motor in it. i think its not always a lazy owner. sometimes its a shady big box dealer service center

Carmax also means you have an excellent chance to get a former fleet vehicle, which are quite often poorly used and badly maintained.

Change the transmission fluid every 30k miles. Even if the manufacturer says it's a "lifetime" fluid

I have a '94 F-150 I could have sworn was torque converter shudder because it only seemed to do it under load at certain speeds. I flushed the transmission fluid and found it was very clean. I then checked the spark plugs and they were in really bad condition. I ended up deciding to replace the wires, plugs, ignition coil and distributor, since I didnt know the history of the truck, and ever since then it runs just fine.

Was getting a shudder in my 89 F 250 but not right away and only when it locked up after going into third,fresh fluid,filter and a can of the trans mechanic in the can Sea Foam trans additive fixed the problem for now.

I like how you always start off every video judging me for a solid three seconds on everything I've done throughout the day

Kenny you know we are going to need a follow-up on this one to see what rest of story is. 🙂

That fly was the Carmax mascot😂

OMG loved that fly at the end. Thanks for keeping that in Kenny

Good evening Mr Kenny, hope y'all had a good day. Great video and thank you for sharing this. Loved your pet fly, Herbie 😅 he's such a ham, lol 😂😅

The fly just wanted to be in the video.....LOL

Was that Mike Pence's fly? Funny ... lol.

Car with maximum damage. Carmax.

That fly just cracked me up. Sorry Kenny but you just can't fool them circle flies ROFLMAO 😂😅😂😅😂

It would probably be a good idea to check for TSB's on this one. We have issues with the map sensors on 2019 Edges, and when it acts up if feels exactly like a transmission problem. Once there's a few miles on them, the trans fluid is never red. I can't guarantee the map sensor is the issue, but most independent shops don't check for bulletins and they just throw a new trans in only to find out later that it just needed a map sensor. If you don't have access, the TSB number is 19-2212, and the updated part number is AA5Z-9F479-E.

That's a deer fly Kenny. They don't quit going after your flesh until they're dead.

I agree with the carvana cars they are not worth buying had a crv come into the shop with a awd rear differential with no fluid roaring and grinding had to replace that and now having to replace the rear main seal and torque converter seal yay joys any way this isn’t the first one from this company I had to work on. Keep up the good work Kenny I do learn things from watching

Oh ya....I got a kick out of that 😆

Welcome to Wreckmax, I meant Carmax 😁

That fluid never needs to be changed. Filled for life

That ain't no McDonald's iced coffee 😂😂😂

Break rev it is called “stall speed “ in race land.

Had a friend had the same problem and the dealer gave them the run around until the warranty was out and wanted to replace the converter for 3500.00 . They were able to get it fixed for a $1000. 00 by going to ford and complaining about it . Would like to know what was wrong and how much time it took to fix .

The fly was trying to hint its the fly wheel rubbing on the worm gear rght near the butterfly valve 🤣😂😅

Kenny , can you give us an update on this carmax car please. I’ve never bought from them but I always heard they had a good warranty.

He ate the fly after the video, dipped in transmission fluid.

It was first Ugly Duckling used car sales. An Arizona business known for bad deals. They kept getting raided by the cops and changed names for years.

Our Ford Edge trans took a dive at 80k. Took to being a outhouse fly. Very bothersome.

That was probably a "CARMAX" fly🤣

The more accurate test is to watch the torque converter solenoid command and see if once it is commanded does the car start shuttering.

Auto Savvy is another that makes their money selling wrecks. Might not be a salvage title but it's the closest you're gonna get.

The PTU- powertrain transfer unit for the all wheel drive is a joke. Only a few ounces used , and all that heat next to the cat converter. Mandatory change every other oil change.

WAS that even transmission fluid? Is there a follow-up?! Don't leave me hangin', Kenny!

Carmax equals clunker. 😂

Going to “Mexico “ to test drive?

By :08 is when I checked out as soon as I heard Ford Edge. Junk

ATF is Black , Show what was done at that point. I am looking forward to how you solve it.

This is why I lease every 3 years and you can get a new car

Have you ever had any dealings with any of those car warranty companies that advertise on TV such as car max or any other?

Again Kenny explain the importance of checking out a vehicle before one buys it. People are in too big a hurry to buy a vehicle.

Have seen it with cars from jb ryder too,nothing but pieces of junk.My dad has bought the repoed vehicles bought from them

I have been trying to find a dependable Used Car that I like and can Afford......My Question is are there any cars out there that do not have apart after a couple of years ??? I would appreicate any input .....Thanks

There is no reason that the diagnostics shouldn't be built into the car computer. All you should need is a bluetooth screen and mouse.

My brother, little Kenny, first comment is to note that Car Max is not what it once was. It is horrible now with overpriced vehicles that where once they would not even sell a vehicle that has an accident history (this can be checked by using the VIN number and getting a Car Fax (not to be confused with Car Max) or another business that will check by use of the VIN no. for not just accidents but also service history. Sadly, it has become a real crap shoot for a buyer these days, especially an ignorant buyer not having a professional pre-purchase inspection ( for those who don't know better, that is before you sign to buy the car). waiting until you have already signed to purchase the car is generally too late given that most used vehicles come with NO WARRANTY! No disrespect to anyone reading this but 'ignorant' buyers or ones that just don't know any better often also fall into the notorious trap of paying for a service agreement as well (another moneymaker for the selling dealer) when if they had done a pre-purchase inspection that what they learn from it that they might not even buy the vehicle. Buying a brand new car is expensive but at least you have a factory warranty. I'm not recommending buying a new vehicle. I recommending that you do your research for such a major purchase decision and that's all, Kenny, once again I find you knowledgeable, honest and always looking out for your customer's best interest. I only wish you worked within 5 miles of where I live so that I could bring any and all of my vehicles to you for inspection (including pre-purchase inspections) and service (both scheduled 'severe' service and needed actual repairs)!! You have the best KZfaq channel that exists yet for the subscribers. 92.3K subscribers should be 100K subscribers if people watching will just spread the word. That's it, over an out.

You left us at a cliff hanger. What's the rest of the story???

Funny the fly showed up when you started talking about the warranty company. Are you sure it wasn't there to "negotiate" for the warranty company, you know, fly in the ointment kind of thing??

There's way too much technology in modern cars. I'm not anti-technology, but cars should just be simple and reliable.

Copart Max? Change the shutters to curtains... 😂

❤ 👍 😂 🪳

Obviously the owner of this car did not service the transmission. 🤦‍♂️. Ugh

This is what happens when the fluid never gets changed. Some mechanics say "never change transmission fluid". I say fluid is cheaper than metal. Fords have transmission issues. The thing is what are ya doing with the vehicle? Trading in at 80k? No need to do extra maintenance. If ya think ya are going to 200k without majior issues? Ya gotta do 3 or 4k oil changes and trans fluid at 50k max. I change my own at 30k

That fly wanted to mate with you...just sayin"

That's a Big Old Fly, Must Be Amish!!!!!
