Unhappy F150 2011 Clunk/Jerk in Rear end then in limp mode

Folks
I have been experiencing trouble with my 2011 For F150 XLT.
On Monday I was commuting home when the truck made a clunk sound from the rear and then jerk; immediately the "green wrench " warning light came on a the the truck went into "limp mode".
I stop at the nearest dealer (3 miles away) and the service dept was close and I was told to get an appointment to have this issue look at, well the earliest date was Friday so I made the appt.
I was able to drive home with no issues after about 25 miles. (Freeway driving)
The next morning the same thing happen upon merging on the the freeway, I drove it immediately to another ford dealer to see if they can find out whats happening, they are now telling me that they cannot reproduce the issue.
Any suggestions on what to do ? or has someone experience this same issue ?
Thanks in advance

Update : the dealer was able to reproduce my issue, stating that there is a control valve issue with the transmission that shifts from 1 to 2 and 2nd to 3rd. Hopefully I can get my truck back soon !

Moved your thread from the introduction forum to the proper discussion forum as it might help someone else having the same problem.

Good to have you here. Please keep us updated on this issue.

Welcome to the forum, ronjvanstone! It sounds like your dealer is hard at work on this. Were you given an ETA for when you'll be able to bring your truck home? How many miles are on it? I'll research options to assist.
