Possible transmission problems
Hello guys'll,
This is my first time posting so not sure if I'm doing this correctly. I have a 2011 f150. I go to put it in reverse no problem after I'm done backing up and put it in drive. The truck does not go anywhere but it will race up to about 4000 rpm without even having my foot on the throttle. Put in park then back into drive same thing happens. Put it back into park turn the truck off start it again and no problems. It drives just fine. I've had it to the dealer they say it is not throwing any codes so there is nothing they can do about it. Anyone have any ideas that could help. And thank you in advance for all your help.

Welcome to FTE. Sorry that you're getting to meet us under these circumstances. Clearly it's not mechanical or it would do it all the time.
Has it ever felt funny when driving or is just a gear selector issue?
Tell us something about your truck, 4x4, 4x2, mileage, etc.

I'm Crystal, the Ford Service rep here. Welcome! Did you take your tech on a test "drive" so they can see what you're experiencing? How many miles are on the truck?

Welcome to the forum!
I've had my work truck do some goofy things like that if you get the shifter stuck inbetween 'neutral' and 'drive' and not locked into either.
assuming you are getting it locked all the way into the detent, i'm wondering if there isn't something goofy with the range selector.
I would think the dealer should be able to see what gear is being commanded by the PCM when the selector is in "D"
as a stop gap in the interim, try selecting "1" and see if it does the same thing. might even try "2" or "3" and see what happens.
either way, if the problem is predictable and repeatable, it is time for a ride along as crystal suggest. Also, don't be afraid to get her involved and let her escalate things to the best of her ability. Many have seem some good things happen when Crystal is on the case
