Complaint Summary
POWER TRAIN
Owner Narrative
I have a 2017 F250 super duty. It downshifts from 5th to 4th so hard that it has locked the rear tires up for a brief second. Twice I have had cars behind me swerve. I spoke with my local dealership and they informed me that this is a common issue with these trucks normally caused by the transmission drum, valve body and/or solenoids. There were no warnings before this started and it's worse when the transmission is cold. As the transmission gets hotter the issue seems to get better but will suddenly hard downshift without warning.
