| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f-150: the transmission will not shift out of 4wd when driving. It will however shift into neutral. The failure was caused by the solenoids which can get wet and short out ruining the actuators. This is a part which ford knows is defective, because they have created a new part. They currently have a tsb out on this issue. In april of 2006 they started putting water guards on the solenoids to ensure this won't happen. Having a transmission that will not engage properly is a safety hazard. |
