Description of the problem | 2014 f150 w/~55,000 miles- (1) 7/30/19- carrying light load in bed (200 lbs+/-) & 2 people including driver, on major highway during rush hour accelerating up hill, had driven 15 minutes without issues. Vehicle suddenly lost all power and tachometer red lined. Did not notice if any warning lights on as was trying desperately not to be dead due to 18 wheeler right behind me. Just as suddenly resolved after about 10 seconds. (2) 7/6/19- truck in park with emergency brake engaged, facing uphill on boat ramp with lightweight boat trailer in tow & in "tow/haul mode". (no boat, only driver & 200-300 lbs load in bed) disengaged emergency brake & vehicle rolled backward while still in park. Braked. Put in drive & vehicle rolled backward before finally engaging & able to accellerate up ramp. (3) frequently, since truck brand new, hear a "thunk" when shifting from park to drive (on flat surface) & especially loud, every time i shift from park to reverse (also on flat surface) & always doing either if on a hill. Took to dealer when still under warrantee who says this is normal. I live in a very flat area so only discovered that transmission hesitates &/or slips on these occasions, after warrantee expired. Taking it to my trusted mechanic who employs a certified ford truck master mechanic & has no financial reason to downplay issues. |
