| Description of the problem | The transmission started slipping around 5000 miles. The problem occurs after start up when transmission is cool. During the first drive cycle when the transmission shifts from 3rd-4th gear, it will slip really bad. Once it does actually shift into 4th gear it feels like the vehicle has been rear ended. After multiple trips to the ford dealership for warranty repair, the problem still exist. The last dealership i took the truck to confirmed the slip and replaced the main control in the transmission and replaced the fluid. I picked up the truck 2 weeks later and the transmission slipped when i left the the dealership after the repair. The service tech advised me to drive the vehicle for a few days to allow it to go through its adaptive learn cycle. After doing so, the transmission still continued to slip. I took the vehicle back a week later for repair. The service tech drove the vehicle and confirmed that the slip still existed. The dealership told me that they contacted ford help hotline and were instructed to do a complete rebuild of the transmission. 3 weeks later i was told the truck was ready. I picked the truck up and drove it home with no problems. I let it sit for 24 hours and drove it again and the transmission slipped again. After two failed attempts to fix the issue, this dealership tells me that according to ford hotline, there is nothing wrong with my truck.. The truck is doing the exact same thing now as it did before they attempted to repair it. I don |
