This truck looks brand new, has not been abused, man that fixed it said he had never seen one do this unless the truck was beat all to pieces, and this one isnt, he figures it was a defect in the torque converter.

F-250

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
When driving 40 mph and above, letting off the accelerator pedal, the transmission goes in neutral. The torque converter locks and unlocks. This is a dangerous situation when towing a trailer. The problem has been reported to the dealership. Dealer stated that the truck was designed to work like that.
