| Description of the problem | Driving to work on june 9 at 8:00am after a hard rainstorm, on south memorial parkway just north of green cove road, traveling about 40 to 45, slowly accelerating, the rear end of the f150 locked up, tires squealing, began to fishtail to the right for a few seconds, then released. I thought i had been hit from the rear, no cars behind me. Temperature gauges were fine, the gear display on the dash board showed only gears 1, 2, and 3. Gears 4, 5, and 6 were not displayed. I sped up and the transmission would not change, i slowed down and the transmission would not change, i eased the transmission into neutral and pull to the side of the road and put the transmission in park. The gears 4, 5, 6 were redisplayed. There were no fluids coming from the transmission under the truck. I eased back into drive and noticed a little bit of a shudder around 3rd gear. I took the vehicle to the ford dealership and they have told me that there was no computer code and it was likely to be a computer glitch and there was nothing they could do. I asked if it would be recorded as a complaint and was told no, that unless they could witness the event or there was a computer code, the complaint would not be documented.... I escalated to the service manager, we agreed to drive the truck for a bit and see if they could reproduce the problem, but, that there was nothing else t hat could be done. Obviously, if i had been doing 70 mph, the vehicle would have been much more difficult to control. If you have any questions, please ask. |
