| Description of the problem | 2012 ford f150 - transmission lead frame the ford dealership (bolton in lake charles, la) is replacing the transmission lead frame in my truck. The vehicle, driving linearly at 35 mph, locked into 3rd gear and went into safe operating mode with almost no acceleration. The speedometer stopped working and a wrench light fault code appeared on the screen. The vehicle would not go into first or second gear or regain acceleration, even when stationary, park, or after restarting. The vehicle is an early 2012 production pickup from the dearborn, michigan plant, matching the recall criteria for nhtsa (16v-248) and ford (16s19) but the vin does not appear in reference to the recall for the transmission lead frame. The dealer refused to honor any warranty for this recalled defective part. The vehicle is dealer stock / unmodified and presently has 71,000 miles. |
