why nobody dont want helping me !

Sounds not too dissimilar from the issue with the CMAX, probably a torque converter issue so you may well require a new gearbox unit with the torque converter included

Hi Ismail, its most likely because people dont know how to help you or dont know whats wrong, so they arent posting!

As I mentioned on your other thread, the issue is most likely to a faulty gearbox and/or torque converter. I suspect you will need a new unit, or to send yours off for reconditioning

Today i take my car from garage ...master said they update all

Software of my car .. they test car 100 km ..no problem

Now i go with car 40 km bo problem

But i worry

Hopefully the software update resolved the issue, if your odometer shows they have added 100km then just keep an eye on it and phone them back if the problem comes again.

i have all the same problems with my 2008 automatic mondeo. the transmission is locked to 3. gear as soon as the car starts moving. i could not solved the problem yet, they shad said they tried to reset software of the control unit, but it did not work. maybe the service that i brought my car not experienced as much as Ismail's service. i am waiting for your helps if you have anything in your mind to try about my problem.

I wonder if someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I have the exact same problem as the Ozsangs. I have a 2008 Mondeo titanium automatic which has given me very little trouble over the years, although I have indulged it with a full Ford service history. When I start the car all is well for around 3-4 minutes then the warning light below appears and the gearbox locks into 3rd gear. The car drives fine and when I turn the car off it clears the warning light and the all is well again for 3-4 mins and then a repeat. I am confused about this warning light as it indicates vehicle stability and I can't see why it would affect the gearbox at all. Can anyone help?  ford-mondeo-stability-control-dashboard-warning-light-symbol.jpg

Believe you have the AWF21 gearbox. If that is the case....

Locked in 3rd gear is the transmission emergency mode. Could be caused by number of issues and best is to hook up to a code scanner to see what part is going wrong.

Regular servicing is the key for the longevity of the transmission....
