Transmission Noise problems of the 2015 Ford F-150

8/5/2016 the vehicle was originally taken in for a loud grinding noise coming from the drive train. The problem was intermittent and the dealer said they couldn't reproduce the problem and reflashed the computer. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as I passed someone. 5/22/2017 the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for the same problem with a grind noise coming from the drivetrain. I told the dealer it sounded like cards in the spokes of a bicycle. They tried to reflash the computer and the truck made the same noise as soon as I drove away from their lot. I took it right back and told them that it was not fixed and I wanted them to keep it until it was fixed. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as I passed someone. I picked the vehicle up approximately two weeks later and was told that the entire overdrive unit in the transmission had to be rebuilt. The truck only had 20,067 miles at this point. 9/23/2019 I called the dealership and told them that the noise had returned at that this would make the fourth time it needed to be addressed. They told me that the power train warranty covered any repairs for this up till 60,000 miles. I will schedule a time to drop the truck for a check as soon as I can. The truck has 52,622. 3 miles as of 10/31/2019. The truck only makes the noise at odd intervals when it is between gears or passing someone.
