| Description of the problem | As i am driving the 2013 ford f-150 raptor 6. 2l the gears seem to be off, if i am driving only 30mph the gear is at 6. Also the more dangerous and scary thing is that it shifts down without any warning, i was traveling about 35mph and the gear seem to shift down to 1 locking my rear tires and making me skid almost causing the vehicle behind me to run into me. The tires locked almost as if i put the brakes on. I'm glad i was only going 35mph but what if i'm going 80, this would be a more dangerous and scary scenario. It also happened when i turned on to a street and as i started to accelerate it dropped my gear to 1, locked my wheels and acted like it didn't want to shift or accelerate , i pulled off to the side of road, i sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened and went on my way nervous if it will happen again, which it didn't and made it home. Next day i took to ford and they said they cant duplicate the issue so there is nothing we can do. This is scary , i don't fell safe with me and my son in this vehicle. What could be causing this dangerous situation? What is my next opposition to get this fixed. Thank you |
