| Description of the problem | Took vehicle out of garage after warm up and while accelerating to 55 mph the transmission went into neutral. I let off the accelerator and the transmission shifted down into a much lower gear. At first i thought the brakes had locked up and pulled over to the side. I put the truck in park and went out to see if i had a smoking brake. Nothing looked wrong so i got back in and started to pull away from the curb and the vehicle went into neutral the shifted into a higher gear then into a lower gear. I let off the accelerator and put it into neutral then tried drive again. The erratic shifting continued for about 5 miles then seemed to work correctly. The next day i attempted to bring it to work to get it looked at and the same situation occurred except the vehicle then downshifted to 1st and would not come out. I stopped shut the truck off and started again and was able to get the vehicle to a dealer with the erratic shifting into lower gears for 30 miles. I have the paperwork from the ford dealer showing me it was the molded lead frame failed and a connector #al3z-7g276-d, connector# 6l2z-7g276-aa. Total cost $1292. 94 |
