2012 f150 screw 5.0 1700kms,

when I back up into my yard, Im on a hill backing up I put it in reverse, I hit the gas and it slowly moves like its slipping, then all of a sudden it catch's and feels hard when it goes in and back's up. At first i thought it was me not waiting long enough but, Ive had this happen 5 times now, and seems to be getting worse, anyone else go through this with there New Truck???

I even put it in park and then reverse, and it still felt like it was slipping

just started doing this this past week when it now has got a bit colder, went down 10 degree's Celceus

Thanks Grant

My 2009 does the same thing. At first I thought it was not engaged as well so I waited longer and got the same thing. I found it was one tire spinning and the clunk engaging was the limited slip kicking in and spinning both tires... Totally normal

I thought it was lag in the drive by wire. But I could be wrong.

My 2012 eco does the same thing alot of times when I am trying to hook up to my trailer...

It could be the hill start assist as well holding the brakes for a bit.

I park on a downhill (nose down) at my house, and have to back out every time i leave, and my 2010 does this, as did my 04. Also a 2012 silverado i drove at work yesterday did it too. I'm pretty sure its normal

Mine is the same. The Wifey's old '04 Merc Marquis also. For some reason it takes awhile for reverse to hook up. Drives me nuts.

10 years ago, that would be the sign of a valve body going bad. But with all the electronics on the new transmissions, who knows?

Well it is a hit and miss thing, not sure what it was I actually thought it was the brake holding it back, but today backed up the hill into my drive no problem.
I have to take it in next week to get calibration done as my MPG is still all over the map

The truck has only 1700 KM's, its done other stuff too few times then stopped , like the snapping and popping and cluncking.
I think I will just let warranty take care of it when something actually happens from these odd things it does once and awhile.....so from now on I'am not going to worry about it

I Appreciate all the Comments and will mention it too Ford when i take it in

Cheers!!!

Yep. Mine has done this since day one. 2011 3.7 4x2 Scab. Have about 8k miles. Trying to convince myself this is normal. Since others are having the same symptoms, maybe it is - or maybe a widespread issue. I also had the goofy downshift thing where it feels as if the trans downshifts from 3 to 1, without using 2 on the way down. But that has been much better lately. Perhaps the trans has " learned" how to downshift properly? It does not have me concerned to the point I feel the need to take it in for diag just yet. But let us know what your dealer has to say about yours please!
