| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speed vehicle will lose power and mph will drop to 0 and will not shift out of first gear. The dash will display a wrench and the cluster will go blank with all dashes. Upon turning vehicle off and back on the dash will clear and the vehicle will drive for a period of time before the issue returns. This is a major safety concern as i had my child in the vehicle when this happened on the highway going 60mph luckily no one was right behind me or i would have for sure been rear ended. I did a code scan and recieve code 0722 which is the molded lead frame inside of the transmission. After doing research i come to find this is a common problem with the 6r80 transmission and there was even a recall on the 2011-2012 vehicles but the 2013 is not included. Through online forums and just common research this issue has affected vehicles all the way through 2014 and still no recall. My truck has 55,000 miles on it and was purchased brand new it is now out of warranty and ford wants $895 dollars to replace the molded leadframe although this is a known issue affecting thousands of vehicles. It is a scary and dangerous concern that really needs to be addressed asap. I do not believe i should be liable for a defect that is known and specifically such a major issue that can cause a vehicle to lose power wheels lock up at highway speed. |
