I brought my '07 sportrac with 73,800 miles to the Ford dealer to troubleshoot a check engine light and the wrench light, which it displayed for a few minutes and disappeared. After some troubleshooting 2 hrs later, the guy came out and gave me some bad news. I will need to repair my transmission or replace it. He did tell me a new transmission would not be from Ford since they don't make those anymore and would be from another maker. The above lights started showing this winter as it got colder and that's when I started to noticed rough idling with the rpm indicator spiking for a few minutes then it would go back to a normal reading. I guess some transmission part was acting up at that point. It also seem like if I let it warm up during startup a few minutes, I usually don't see it rpm spike. The dealer told me during their checks there was yet another coolant leak but apparently it wasn't serious enough to note in the final paperwork. I told him I needed to think about the transmission repairs or replacement. I paid for the diagnostics ($100) and got my Ford estimates.
Ford sports trac 07, 8 cylinder. Automatic, 44000. It began around 20000. When one comes to a stop, the 4 wheel drive or transmission kicks in and the vehicle jumps and slams into gear. It appears to be getting worse the more I drive it. Also, a lot of blind spots.
