Hello,
I drive a F-150 2013 XL and recently had some issues I wanted to float by the community to see if anyone else has the same issue.
When I put my truck in drive the rpm goes as high as 6000 without shifting gears and my speedometer will either read 0, or it will propery read the speed before dropping to 0 regardless of the actual speed of the vehicle. My check engine light sometimes is on, othertimes it is off. I am able to drive the truck in manual, but obviously I would rather not have to do that. It shifts fine in manual and my speedometer and rpm gauge read appropriately.
I am curious if this is a transmission sensor issue or perhaps a fuse issue, as when i use my code reader it doesn’t show anything wrong, even with the chrck engine light on.
If anyone could give me pointers I would appreciate it very much.

 

is it on recall for the lead frame ?

 

@Massacre167 That absolutely sounds like the typical Lead Frame failure symptoms. The lead frame among other things, includes the transmission speed sensors. Recall or not, or even if the recall has been performed, the lead frame can fail. The recall in most cases is nothing more than a reprogram to make sure the truck can not downshift to first gear while at highway speeds. It does nothing to address the actual failure of the lead frame itself.
