So in my 07 v6, i'm having problems with shifting from drive to reverse, and the opposite.

It seems that sometimes when i'm trying to pull out of a parking spot or something, i will put it in reverse, but it goes forward! then, if i let it sit for a few seconds i hear a sort of "GRUNT" sound, then it goes in reverse.

at first i thought i may have been cranking it up and shifting it too quickly (apparently i wasn't according to other people ive ridden with) so i cranked up, waited a few seconds, then put it in reverse and it still does it about a third of the time.


Is this a common problem in the 07 autos? would ford cover fixing this?

a little about the car-
07 V6, automatic, no upgrades, about 19,500 miles.

thanks guys.

you should be able to take it to any ford shop because you only have 19,500 and it will be under your warranty

I hope this isn't a common problem on the autos. I have an '09 and I haven't had any trouble with the transmission, but yesterday in the driveway I went to back up a little bit after moving forward a little bit and it was like it was still in drive after I had changed to reverse. Going to neutral and then back to reverse got me going, but I thought the event was really a bad thing. I was kinda inchin around other cars in the drive way as I had moved it to a blocked spot to vaccum it, could have been a really bad thing if I hit the gas hard!!! Ever since, its been fine. I'll keep watchin this thread, let us know how it goes at the dealer.
