Significant automatic transmission slippage, almost as if the transmission is slipping into neutral. This happened yesterday when I was making a left turn and was nearly stopped in the middle of the intersection. This problem started after about 20 minutes of freeway driving, and 10 minutes of in-town driving. It was prominent in all auto transmission gears: Reverse, 1, 2, and 3/drive. I had the vehicle towed to the closest dealership in arroyo grande, ca 93420.
Two days after truck purchase, reported to dealer truck has bad vibration, rough idle, pulls to the right, truck hesitates to go into gear, truck hesitates before shifting, engine knock and clunk in T-case area. Transmission has been replaced twice, road forced balance 4 tires, switched tires and wheels, front end alignment three times, torque converter replaced, crankshaft pully replaced, dampers installed for vibration. All problems still exist. Ford has offered to buy back the truck but they will not give me all of my money back.
