I feel your pain. I have a Lincoln Navigator that probably has more electronics on it than most new vehicles and also has a ton of problems that go along with it. It was actually voted consumer reports least reliable vehicle this year. I have it at the Lincoln dealer right now because the electronically controlled transmission likes to go into neutral when you are going down the highway at 65 mph. Nice huh? I never take anything to the dealer as the internet usually has all the fixes you can need on most forums but this time I did. The code reader was useless for this problem so far and the truck has been at the dealer now for a week. After changing a shift solonoid pack in the valve body it is now believed to be the ECM that controls all the powertrain that is faulty. They basically can not figure it out. I guess the thing that bothers me is not fixing the transmission but the overwhelming amount of electrical problems that this vehicle will have in the future as moisture takes its toll on everything and rust. I try my best to buy newer stuff to keep it updated but I am becoming more leary of too much electronic control on cars and tractors. I bet it looked impressive at the dealer though the first time you stepped in the cab and all the lights were blinking. I was impressed too but now my truck cant get me 20 miles to work and you cant chisel plow! Good luck, I hope it is an easy fix.
