| Description of the problem | Output speed sensor failure causing transmission to get stuck in gear. Occasionally it will shift down in gear as you are accelerating causing a stalling effect to the truck. Has happened several times to my young son while driving on the highway at full speed. Speedomoter will also go completely dead. Usually pulling over cutting off the truck, waiting and restarting will take it out of the 5th or 1st gear it is stuck in. Sometimes this takes several tries. Very unsafe on the side of a busy road! Had 2 transmission shops run diagnostics and it is the faulty speed sensor requiring entire lead frame to be replaced. Both shops told me to reach out to ford before i pay to have it repaired with them. Same problem as previous ford truck models '11 and '12 that ford has recalled but ford will take no liability for this malfunction. Called 2 ford dealerships that both played dumb to the well documented problem. Called ford itself and spoke to a csr i presume in another country from the broken english that said only there is no recall... Absolutely no help or information from ford. I am having this repaired on my own dime as it is threatening the life of my son and everyone else on the road. Shame on ford! |
