Transmission Problem
I have a 2013 F-150 Lariat 5.0 L, 6 speed auto transmission crew cab truck with 44,000 miles on it. Recently I have experienced problems with the transmission not shifting properly. Three times when I have started out of my driveway, it has shifted into 2nd gear while I am going only 2-3 mph up my driveway which is about a 10-12 degree incline. It stays in 2nd gear even if I stop. When I pull out onto the highway, it shifted normally into the remaining gears. Then, the other night as I was returning home, while travelling up the road, it shifted into 5th gear and stayed there even when it needed to downshift. A wrench i-con appeared on my screen, my odometer showed dash lines instead of mileage and my seatbelt i-con appeared. When I got home, I shut the truck off and restarted it and everything was normal again. I have driven the truck a couple more times with no issues. The transmission shifts normally. Could a sensor be going bad ? Anyone else experience this problem?

Hi, I had the same EXACT problem with my truck. My post on the problem is here . The Molded Leadframe assembly in the transmission needs to be replaced. This is covered under TSB 13-06-08 found here
You should still be covered under powertrain warranty at this mileage so dealer should fix at no charge. I had to print and bring this TSB as the dealer wanted to replace vehicle speed sensor which would not have fixed the problem. Hopefully it will be a better experience with your dealer.
I'd get it fixed as soon as you can. I had mine get stuck in 5th when turning at an intersection and almost go t boned by a semi.

Thankyou for the reply. I printed it off and will take it with me to the dealership tommorrow. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and my truck will get fixed without any issues. Most of the time it shifts normally, but like you, it could happen at the most critical time with catastrophic results. Thanks again for the reply !!!
