I have a 2013 F150 and looking for some advice. It is still under warranty and has 46000 miles on it. Just started having issues and not sure what to do.


1. 6 months ago it was in for an oil change and the dealer noticed leaking fluid by the bell housing? They replaced the seal, this involved dropping the transmission.

2. 1 month ago, leaking again from the same spot. This time they replace the transmission pump, it took a while to get the parts so it was done last week. This also involved dropping the transmission.

3. Picked the truck up on Thursday, wife noticed it was shifting hard. Drove on Friday a little and noticed the hard shifting also. Saturday accelerating on the highway between 30-40 MPH it seemed like it slipped and the yellow wrench showed up in the LCD screen in the dash. Taking it to the dealer today.

Anyone ever heard of this before? Seems like the transmission is going but not sure. Part of me wants to trade this truck in after it is fixed, if they can fix it

Dealer said the transmission bulkhead connector was loose, when they put it back in it didn't click in all the way. Said it should be good to go now. Does this make any sense? Hoping for some replies, not a mechanic..

This is possible, but I would still keep an eye on the trans just in case they aren't being entirely truthful. If the trans does anything you don't like make sure there's a paper trail showing the issue existed while you were under warranty.
