Transmission Solenoid problems
anyone had one replaced.
My truck is a 2012 FX4 Crew Ecoboost.
one day as i was pulling out of a parking spot the truck just felt different and when I was on the road and needed to shift to 2nd nothing it was staying in first. The gear gauge was jumping from 1st to 3rd back and forth. So I pulled over and turned off the truck and let it sit. Now not lights or dings happened when this was going on. So I turn the tuck back on and its fine. Few days later it happened again this time it was stuck in 5th. Tried to do manual still stuck in 5th tried shifting to 1st still stuck in fith. Then after a mile or 2 bamb shifted down to 1st at the 3rd stop light. Anyone have this issue? Ford said it was the solenoid and put in a new one. There were no codes that came up the dealer said the tech followed the electric map or something like that to come up the the solenoid conclusion.

I just got mine fixed a couple of months ago......it took a while for the dealer to find the problem. At first it would happen every once in a while and I would take it in and it wouldnt show any codes. finally it started happening every freaking day so i left it at the dealership for a day and they finally were able to diagnose it....needless to say the problem is gone now and i am back in love with my truck!!!

If I remember tomorrow I will look at the tsbs for the transmission. I know there is at least one that has to do with changing out 3 of the solenoids. Cannot remember which ones. But I do remember that you will have to get them to take them out and order the right ones as there is no way of telling which part number to order until you physically look at it. Not all the solenoids have the same part number even in the same trans on 2 vehicles of the same year. The solenoids function will be the same but the number will be different. So expect to be out of a truck for at least a day if not two
