With only 16,500 miles and at only 1.5yrs old this truck has been in the shop 3x now with transmission problems. The 1st time was within a month or two of owning it and they replaced the entire computer supposedly. Now a month ago while driving it suddenly lost power and I found it that it went into "save mode" and threw it into 2nd gear so it would at least take off from a light safely and go about 50mph without hurting gears, etc. This time they said it was a transmission selonoid and replaced it. Well it happened again about a week after I got it back. And this time they tried several different items and again seems to go back to the computer board. I received it back this past Tuesday night and it hasn't dropped it down yet, but now there is a loud sound almost like rushing air but it is after driving it about 20mins, not immediately. I tightened the lid to the air filter compartment, it was loose, but that hasn't stopped the noise.
so 2 questions, anyone else have issues with their transmission like this? and does anyone have any idea what hose or something may be making this loud rush of air sound now? I am bringing it back into the dealer next week - it is still under the 3yr 30,000 warranty - but this is getting rediculous! Thanks for any input.
