With such low miles, that shouldn't happen. Check the transmission fluid level. I would bring it to the dealer.

Tak them to the dealer. I had a Durango that did the same thing. It's because the fluid is draining out of the pump. Shouldn't do that.

Welcome to the forum, unclepete! As some of the other folks suggested, I'd recommend swinging by your dealer so they can take a look. If you'd like, I can loop in your regional customer service manager. Just PM me your info, including full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership; I'll take it from there.

Hey, SHAWZER!

Since you're in Canada, I recommend reaching out to my Canadian colleagues: FordServiceCA. Here's a link to their profile here on the forum: Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - View Profile: FordServiceCA I know they'll be happy to help.
