At highway cruising speed, with the cruise control on, the truck spontaneously locked up the wheels and went into an uncontrollable skid off the interstate highway into the ditch and up the embankment. The ford dealership which fixed it found a computer error code p0975, and therefore replaced ford part number 9l3z7a100c:control assembly-transmission. No braking system problems, and no rear end differential problems…

After a few seconds, the transmission shifted into drive and the shift indicator illuminated in the gear selected. Applying gas during the "pause shift"…

Vehicle vibrates and hesitates to accelerate to the point where the truck engine will shut off around 1500 rpm on both highway speed and normal street speed. I took it to a local ford dealership, and they said there's nothing wrong with it or maybe they just don't know where it's coming from since the engine light is not on.

I was traveling west on i10 in arizona when my truck decided to down shift/limp mode at 75 mph. The result was a nice long slide until i was able to shift the transmission into neutral. Of course the cruise control still thought it was going to speed the truck up and continued accelerating until i turned it off. I was able to get to the emergency lane and shut the vehicle off. I called the dealership to report it…

My 2010 ford f150 has approx. 30,4xx miles on it and has been maintained perfectly. In a brief summary, going in to work early (5am) potentially saved me from having a wreck to due a faulty throttle body. Upon accelerating from a red light, my truck entered into a "limp home" mode (mechanic wrench icon appeared) and began to incorrectly regulate my rpms. This caused my vehicle to become nearly stranded as i was…

Since purchase in 2010, the transmission continually searches for the right gear, never seems to find it, and will "bang" into whatever gear it chooses. Galpin and simi valley ford have been unable to re-create condition and simply say it is due to the electronic transmission. Approximately one year ago, simi valley ford stated the "spline shaft" was never lubricated and claimed to have fixed the problem by…
