Consumer Description

I was driving on the highway when my truck randomly began to sound as if it was in high idle like if I had it in neutral and was still pressing on the gas peddle. A wrench light came on as well as my engine light and I immediately lost power. Once I pulled over and placed it in park all the warning lights disappeared and my truck was fine again. Then it happened a second time but this time it almost caused the person from behind to hit me. I finally got to my destination and my truck was once again fine as if nothing happened. Few days later I was on the highway and it again happened. This time I had to utilize my insurance and have my truck towed back home. It has been an ongoing issue with my gears wanting to slip or feel like they don’t want to engage. Even with my truck constantly shifting hard. I contacted Ford and I am being told that ultimately Im still responsible for charges. I know this is an ongoing problem with the manufacture and I know I am not the only person with an f150 having this issue. I am writing this complaint because it can be a dangerous situation, especially around heavy traffic.
