| Description of the problem | Been having this issue intermittently for the past 2 months since bought the truck. Car would lose power, choke and transmission disengage and shifts gears randomly. It seems to be locked in neutral. Parked on the side, put it in p and then d and it will work again. May 2017 - brought the truck for inspection at closest ford dealer. They couldn't reproduce the issue and thought resetting the computer would solve it. July 2017 - brought back the truck to another ford dealer. They couldn't reproduce the issue but found out that the transmission oil was low therefore filled it up. July 2017 - still having the issue, leaving the truck at the ford dealer for one week... They couldn't reproduce the problem... Took the truck back august 2017 - drove one month without major chocking. Was driving on the highway at 100km/h and the vehicle went crazy downshifting and locked the rear wheels, cars behind almost hit me... Almost lost control but was able to pull at the next exit and call the towing. It could've been worst... Truck is now at my local dealer for diagnostic. There's no way i'm taking back the car before they fix it august 15, 2017 - local ford has been able to reproduce the issue. Transmission was shifting randomly into different gears. The culprit was the lead frame part #al3z7g276b. Upon investigation there was a recall on that for 2010-2012 fords.. Well well... I was still all covered under warranty. Hopefully, no issue will ever come back! |
