2011 Ford F-250 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving downhill on a road in nh, at approximately 60 MPH, my automatic transmission suddenly down shifted from 6th gear to 4th gear and then within 2 seconds then downshifted to 2nd gear causing sudden and swift reduction in speed. No engine warning lights were displayed. Roads were dry and no one was immediately behind me. I brought it to the dealer and they said they downloaded the most current patches for my transmission software. About 2 weeks later (8/27/11) the same thing happened. Again, going downhill about 60 MPH, automatic downshift from 6th to 4th to 2nd with no warning. No engine warning lights were displayed this time either. Dealer is reluctantly looking at it again, hopefully this week. They wanted to look at it next week, but I fear for my safety and the safety of my family. This strikes me as an accident waiting to happen. They said there were no bulletins for my transmission. They wanted it to happen again so I could be more specific about whether or not I was accelerating or not. I did not feel they were taking it seriously enough, so I had to escalate the service manager's decision to have it looked at more quickly. I am even more reluctant to drive it in inclement weather, even rain.
Tl*the contact owns a 2011 ford f-250. While attempting to merge onto the interstate the vehicle hesitated and the gear would not shift into second or third gear causing the transmission to shift with greater force, and the rear wheels to lock. The vehicle was taken to the dealer numerous times for the failure. The dealers diagnostic test indicated that the transmission was sending incorrect signals. The transmission computer was reprogrammed several times. The failure was not corrected and the vehicle continued to hesitate while attempting to shift gears. The manufacturer filed a report. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 200 and the current mileage was 9,500.
