The POWER TRAIN
2013 Ford F-150

I recently purchased this vehicle used less than a week ago. i have only driven it for about 75 miles. while driving down a busy street at 45 miles an hour the truck down shifted to first gear and simultaneously the speedometer stopped working. i kept control of the vehicle but if a vehicle would have been following closely it is possible if not likely to have rear ended me. i checked the vin and it states no open recalls. evidently the vehicle was serviced for one of the past recalls which clearly describes this same event as an issue. i will contact the dealership grey daniels ford in brandon ms where it was purchased for inspection.

10 speed transmission has a pretty consistent history of shifting roughly, especially, shifting between gears 3 & 4. it actually fails to engage forward briefly and then makes a clanging noise before it shifts into 4th gear; in sport mode it will stick in 6th gear. i have reported these problems at least 4 times to shottenkirk ford in jasper ga when i have had scheduled maintenance performed. every time i've brought my truck in for service i was just told a different excuse and they found nothing wrong with the transmission. the most recent service the service department said my truck was 2 quarts low on transmission fluid and that should fix the problem. my most recent and most concerning incident occurred while i was driving down the interstate and suddenly there was a loud popping noise, the truck began to swerve because of loss of power and then it kept trying to shift in between gears and then i noticed white smoke coming from the rear of my truck. the cars that had followed me started to drop back because my truck was spraying what i believe to have been transmission fluid out. i was out ...

Since shortly after purchased new, truck often lunges when you first cold start the truck, place it into gear with the foot on the brake, and place it into gear. it also appears to search for the correct gear while driving under normal conditions. also, occasions truck may "clunk" into gear while driving. service department reports they cannot recreate the issue but as i've stated, its not a consistent problem and there's no defining reason it would occur.
