Reminds me of when Brandon(ecoboosted facebook) had his PTU go. Random shifting issues that ended with him getting his shifts softened by Torrie. Seemed to only prolong the failure happening.

Best of luck with this, hope it's something simple like TSB or speed sensor.

I will have to do the PTU fluid change also I guess just to make sure. I was quoted $109.99 does that sound about right? Seems a bit expensive since I read on here people were being charged like 60 for a flush and fill but maybe the dealer does something extra, I will have to check.
Sounds fair....I'd pay it. Price ranges have varied a bit on this. Is that a BG cleaning process?

What exactly is the bg cleaning process? I am not sure if yhats what they quoted me i will have to check
 
They actually "clean" it instead of just changing the fluid. Think there's a list here somewhere for dealers that provide the service.

I knew the best moderator on the interwebz would step in upon just the mere mention of a list....

Manu, if they had a Grammy ' s for top mod honor....there's no doubt you'd be top dog!

Thanks again for your great help. Words truly can't do it justice.

LOL, thanks, Rich!  I would award the trophy to the members of this forum for their non-stop inquisitiveness and helpfulness :D
 
Today, when I come to a stop at a light or wherever with the car In drive, the car will shake bad with the rpms bouncing, been slipping into second a couple times too. I checked the fluid. Looks pink, doesn't smell burnt, go a few white puffs of smoke when I took the dipstick out, I'm sure that's normal though. Hmmm

I have not had it happen since I made this thread lol. I checked the fluid level and it was good and looked good too.
 
Turns out the shaking is something fuel related. Engine running rough, white smoke out exhaust and strong fuel smell

No dumping fuel into the cats, they don't like it at all!  These injector issues are becoming ever more common :(
 
It was definitely a weird issue, I thought the trans was slipping, I didn't think anything injector related until I got out of the car and smelt all the fuel. No wonder why my gas gauge dropped so much on my short errand trip today. Good thing the car is under warranty plus I have ford premium care warranty so I am getting a free tow to the dealer, and a free rental.

They usually give me a full size like an edge or explorer. I just pulled the codes, got a P00C6 and P0306 cylinder 6 misfire detected, both listed as "pending faults" on my torque app

I'll have the dealer look into that also, along with the cats. Just went out to try and start it again, nada. On the first try, it coughed and died, second try it just kept sputtering with the starter running. The p00c6 code means that the fuel pressure is too low while cranking. I hope my dealer puts in a full set of injectors and not just one. Usually if 1 goes, the rest are soon to follow
