Cruise control
My truck is almost a year old and don't drive it much. 5000 miles so far. I used the cruise control this weekend and noticed when going down hills it will downshift to maintain 55 mph.
Is this normal ?
Also when the truck sits for a few weeks when I start it to back from the garage it seem to take a while for the truck to start moving. Seems like it takes time for the pressure to build up.
Is this normal ?
Thanks
Armstrong

Tranny is not normal. Check into TSB 14-0076 - Effective Apr 22 2014 2011-2014 Expedition/Mustang/F-150/Navigator - Delayed Engagement Park To Forward Or Reverse. It sounds like you got one of the units with a bum pump.

So I go to Butler County Ford today. I explained what the transmission is doing.
We'll guy's I found out this is normal for any automatic that sits for a week or two. I was told to just let it idle for a few minutes for the pump to build up pressure.
Now all I have to do is keep the carbon dioxide detector from going off, it wakes the wife.

I would show the TSB to your dealer....it is out for a reason!
As for the downshifting when using cruise control I think that is a great feature....instead of the cars and trucks of old just continuing to gain speed when going down hill. Most of the newer vehicles I have driven have this feature. My wife's Infiniti does downshift as well.
Thanks gDMjoe for the TSB! (sorry I am in rep jail)
