Description of the problem | F-150 at 34,000 miles, under warranty, and only serviced by ford mechanics - when towing 6,500 lb trailer i receive message "transmission overheating powering down". Truck then gears itself down and does not exceed 45 mph. This consistently now occurs when engine temperature hits 215. When towing i can not exceed 55 mph or temperature immediately climbs to 215 and transmission overheats. I have to pull over and let engine cool. This problem started in may 2017 and has never previously occurred. Courtesy ford in pocatello, id repeatedly states there is nothing wrong and refuses to take any corrective action. Because of this issue i have cancelled several camping vactions for my family as i fear truck will suffer a severe breakdown and courtesy ford will again refuse to honor warranty service. |
