| Description of the problem | The transmission drops out of gear and cannot be reengaged until vehicle is stopped shut off and restarted. Problem has increasingly gotten worse from a mild fail to engage after a three point turn around to current condition. Last most dramatic event occurred yesterday while on i-75 near lexington, pulling a travel trailer when it dropped out of sixth gear in a construction zone with a tractor trailer behind the truck. Vehicle went to idle, wrench light appeared. There was no throttle response and transmission would not reengage. Had to pull off the side of the road and shut vehicle down. Upon restarting transmission worked normally until reached destination. Two ford dealerships have not been able to diagnose this problem. Only one error code has appeared, p0731. Transmission fluid was added and code was cleared. Problem was not resolved. Other dealership could not replicate problem with no codes present. Ford customer care has been contacted regarding this issue. Appointment made with local dealer. However, evident they do not know how to resolve. |
