| Description of the problem | At least once a week the transmission behaves erratically. When acceleration from a stop all power is lost. A big wrench light comes on on the dashboard. I am forced to coast or limp out of traffic. Usually it will stop if i shut the truck off and restart it. Another problem i have experience is sudden downshifting into first gear while traveling at speeds in excess of 40 mph. Again i need to pull over and shut the truck off and restart it to correct the problem. Another powertrain issue i have experienced, however not as dangerous. Is all of a sudden all the gages will go blank. No speedometer, tachometer, or odometer. Sometimes i'll see the big yellow wrench. Again, to fix this i need to shut the truck off and restart it. I have a 2013 ford f-150 xlt with 3. 5 ecoboost approxmittly 80,000 miles. I experience at least one of these three problems at least once a week and seems to be getting worse. |
