| Description of the problem | In feb 2018 truck began random hard shift and loss of power when taking off from a light, no check engine light. In august 2018 at 70 mph, had a momentary lock up of rear wheel, causing the wheels to chirp on the road and release, slowed to a stop, placed in nuetral no check engine light all seemed normal. Accelerated to 65 mph at steady speed observed speedometer indication momentarily drop to 50 mph and back to 60 mph, shortly after the fuel economy on the computer average drop from 18. 5 mpg to 17. 5 mpg. No check engine light. In december 2018 after stopping in idle, moved truck from park to drive, felt no power to move observed i was in 5th gear. Placed in park, shut off and restarted vehicle with no issues, no check engine light. Spoke to dealer and they stated that with no check engine light or code they would have to drive until issue was repeated. I have ordered and will replace the lead frame assembly as that appears to be the most probable cause, and clean and inspect all connections to transmission. This was the same issue the recall on 2012 covered on the same transmission, ford did not include 2013 in this recall. |
