2004 F-150, 4x4, 4. 6l engine. Transmission keeps slipping. The vehicle only has 33,800 miles on it, but the time has expired for the factory warranty. This occurs approximately every fifteen miles or so. It started one time about three months ago and quickly went to the Ford shop for repair. They "fixed it" they said, but about five hundred miles later, you guessed it, it started again. I have read a ton of forums specifically about this happening to hundreds of other vehicle owners of the same make and model. Please assist with getting this problem fixed and some help is holding them responsible. The same dealership that fixed the problem (lol) stated that they fixed it and that they are not responsible for fixing it again, despite it only being three months ago. Please help.
The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 40 mph on normal road conditions, the overdrive switch was activated and the transmission slipped between gears. When the overdrive was deactivated, the vehicle operated normally. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and they stated that the failure was related to the computerized system. The vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 112,800.
: the contact stated while driving in normal conditions at speeds of 50 mph or above the transmission would slip from drive into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection. However, the dealer could not duplicate the problem. Updated 2/28/2006 -.
On 8-15-05 transmission slipped while driving on the expressway at 60 mph. The owner had to pull over. The truck started to buck as if it was going in and out of gear. No warning light came on. The owner had to pull off since traffic was busy, and checked the transmission fluid, and there was no transmission fluid. Owner had the vehicle towed to a dealership, who advised the owner that the truck was missing one quart of fluid, but could not find any other problems. The dealership filled the transmission fluid. The owner checked the transmission fluid a few minutes ago and it was overfilled. The owner's manual indicated that the high fluid level could be and indication of having an overheating problem. The owner felt that it may be a deception on the part of the dealership. He felt that the transmission was warped due to being operated without adequate fluid. The dealership did find the number 8 cylinder was misfiring, which did not seem to relate to the transmission slipping. When the truck was first purchased, the owner noticed when going up a hill it stopped and rolled. The owner had to keep the foot on the brake to keep it from rolling back. The owner notified the dealership about this problem. The dealership advised that this was normal. The owner has not contacted Ford yet.
While accelerating from a stop or slowing and turning transmission slips gears. Very noticable between second to third shift. Gear slipage causing loss of acceleration power. Transmission also shifts hard as it slips.

The consumer stated 2005 Ford f150 surged forward. It felt like cruise control kicked in. He took the vehicle to dealer, and dealership called Ford, and they had the accelerator chip realigned. After the vehicle was fixed the surging continued. He continued to contact the dealership and Ford. According to customer service the engineers said they could not find anything wrong with it. Consumer was currently afraid to drive the vehicle, so was sitting in the driveway. The vehicle was taken in last week, and they kept it for a week, and they stated they could not find anything wrong with it. On the way home transmission slipped and surged forward. Dealership and the manufacturer kept telling him to call the other. Consumer stated vehicle has been at dealership at least five times, and got a different service manager every time. The problem started the night he purchased the vehicle.
The contact stated she had an ongoing failure of the brakes. The vehicle was serviced by the dealership nine times. The pads and rotors were replaced six times. A manufacturer's engineer inspected the vehicle. He made several suggestions to the dealership. The dealership implemented these suggestions although the aforementioned problems recurred. Also, the transmission started slipping while driving. It was inspected by the dealer, and they were unable to determine the cause of the problem.
Purchased new fx4 02/04. Noticed terrible vibration, occasional hesitation, and transmission slipage. Took to dealer 7 times, various parts replaced. Problems not fixed. They finally said they knew about the problem but it couldn't be fixed.
I purchased a Ford f150 new in January of 2004. On many occasions, when attempting to merge into traffic, pass another vehicle, etc. , the transmission feels like it slips into neutral. The engine speed increases but the vehicle does not accelerate. This has resulted in a few near-misses when I merged into freeway traffic and have nearly been hit by oncoming traffic. The service rep at my dealership says that he can't duplicate the problem. This is very annoying and very dangerous.
Automatic transmission is slipping gears. Vehicle's vibration decreases and increases at any speed between shifting gears. Also, vehicle is used for hauling, and adds pressure to transmission, delaying shifting to the next gear. Please provide more information. The dealer was not contacted.

Significant automatic transmission slippage, almost as if the transmission is slipping into neutral. This happened yesterday when I was making a left turn and was nearly stopped in the middle of the intersection. This problem started after about 20 minutes of freeway driving, and 10 minutes of in-town driving. It was prominent in all auto transmission gears: reverse, 1, 2, and 3/drive. I had the vehicle towed to the closest dealership in arroyo grande, CA 93420.

When driving and stopping transmission slips. It takes a two seconnd delay for truck to move. Dealership is aware of problem. The transmission slipping occurs during stop and go traffic. It was unpredictable when it would happen, and it was a possible safety hazard.
Front windshield-the windshield would rattle going down the freeway everytime we would be in the truck. Took it in to advise the dealership and all they did was reseal it. Took it in again the second time and they did the same thing. After the third time I made them put in a new windshield. 2 weeks ago this cracked in half. Also the transmission was slipping. They replaced it with a new one. Also the rear end was leaking.

Transmission started slipping and then the transmission shifted into neutral while driving. The transmission would not change into passing gear. It kept slipping back to neutral. Had to have transmission replaced.
Windshield wipers come on unexpectedly, especially during or following turns causing a major distraction. The transmission "coasts" during deceleration. When power is applied after that the transmission seems to slip back into gear, causing the truck to jerk.
Transmission slips between second and third gear at 40-43 mph. Dealer contacted, and stated problem is intermittent and cannot remedy problem. Problem still exists. Provide further information.

The problem started with the transmission slipping and the door ajar chime continuously chimes. We took the truck to a local Ford dealership, don davis Ford 1901 n. Collins arlington, texas 76101 number 817-461-1000. We informed the dealership of the trucks problems and the next day they called to tell us that the door chime had been fixed but that the transmission needed to be flushed according to the manufacturers suggestion. We stated that if this would fix the problem to go ahead and proceed. About 3 weeks later billy was on the highway towards home when the transmission in the truck failed he had to push the truck off the highway and walk to get help. We took the truck this time to another Ford dealer, westway Ford 801 w airport freeway irving, texas 972-256-5551, this dealership found the transmission fluid to be burnt. The fluid smelled burnt but was still red in color also they found metal fragments in the fluid and the transmission filter was not changed out at the time the "delux flush" was performed by the previous dealership. Hence: if the flush was necessary then why would`nt the filter change out be? according to don davis Ford, Ford recommends the flush but not the filter to be changed and they were going by the manufacturers suggestions. We have contacted Ford but their only response is "if you had purchased the truck new then we would have covered the transmission being replaced" . Great huh? as far as the door ajar chime we still have that problem and it has become a nusance due to the fact that no Ford dealership has been able to make the repair or advised us on how to disconnect the silly chime buzzer. Your response and or comments would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, debbie holsomback.
When pulling into traffic sometimes transmission slips. This causes vehicle to loose power, and could result in a rear end or frontal collision.
Transmission slipping in reverse, especially when the truck has not been driven within two days. The transmission does not slip in drive only in reverse.
