| Description of the problem | The transmission will stay in 3rd or 5th gear sometimes at a stop. This causes a power loss and no acceleration. The transmission will also "hunt for a gear a low speeds between 1st and 2nd gears. An orange wrench will flash in the info center on the dash when this is happening intermittently. The transmission also downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear while the cruise control was set at 75 mph. This caused the truck to go into an uncontrolled skid, luckily it did not cause an accident. I cycled the ignition and drove slowly away without incident. The vehicle is currently at the ford dealership where it was purchased. That dealership acts like they have never heard of the 200,000 plus ford vehicles that were recalled from 2011-2012 for these exact same symptoms. My 2013 f-150 missed that recall by just a few months. The ford motor company needs to address these problems before someone gets killed. |
