Had my Transmission reprogrammed per the service bulletin I just received. Seems to shift much better than before.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I believe Ford is hoping the 6 speed transmissions last until they are out of manufacturers warranty. Ford engineers have stated the air in the cooling system will not cause any damage and is only a nuisance. The Fusion is going to be re-designed in 2013 so I'm sure there are no plans to change or retrofit the heater core or the cooling system on existing or new Fusions.
When my Milan reaches 15,000 miles, I am going to dump the Ford fluid and replace it with a synthetic. Amsoil has one that exceeds Ford requirements for that trans.
I have switched over to 100% synthetics in my Chrysler products and the difference is quite noticeable in the form of smoother, quicker shifts at all temps.
Now my questions is can i convince Ford that problem really exists by have a 3 party transimission evaluation since the dealership always diagnosis the problem as" No trouble Found" and yet they replaced a bunch of hardware on my transmission already. Please give you opinions and i would highly appreciate if anyone can share his/her experience in going thorugh a lemon lawsuit with Ford. Thanks.
There are instructions in the owner's manual on how to handle disputes.
Why weren't these covered under the OEM warranty?

On the third go-round, I was taking a weekend trip 300 miles away, and suffered through 20 separate interstate shut-downs of the car on the round trip. Not funny. Ford did nothing, and would not stand behind their car (less than 45,000 miles) in any way, shape or form.
Utter failure by Ford. My last purchase from them, and since I despise GM, it's foreign cars for me now.
Crappy dealer, or crappy manufacturer...not sure. But I am buying another new car, and it won't be a Ford.
