The vehicle began having a shuttering sensation while accelerating in addition to the sensation of the transmission slipping. A trusted transmission repair shop investigated for me. We tried fluid changes and programming. Nothing changed. After consulting with numerous other techs is was discovered that many of these transmissions had defective valve bodies with a small crack in them. Once again the Ford customer service people new of the problem, but would not take action since a recall was not issued. Once the valve body was replaced, the problem went away.
