Welcome to the forum sheshe.  I can't help with your issue, but I just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't see it, that you are replying to a thread that is 3 years old, and both of those folks had only 1 post.  So you may not see a reply from them.  It may be better to start a new thread for your issue, though in this case, someone may come along that may be able to help.  Again, welcome to the forum.

As it responded to turning the steering wheel, thats the area I'd suspect. The wiper switch is attached there, its possible that the movment of the steering wheel could be the culprit. If it happens again, try tilting the wheel or juggling your stalk. 🙄

Check the grounds for any green crusties.

Does it "work" if you put it into the emergency slot in the center console and press the Start button? Work meaning still recognized as a programmed key chip but not for proximity or remote entry?

Well, it's not responding.  It was worth a shot. Thanks all.

The F-150 switch should be what we are looking for. Also note that the Explorer switch will not work.

The 2.0 is known to be hard on the trans fluid, so refreshing it on the early side seems like a good call.  I try to live by the motto - It is cheaper to replace the fluid than the part.  In this specific case - a lot cheaper.

Normal operating conditions? 150,000 miles(!?!?!?!?!) Towing, using a car top carrier, extensive idling, low speed driving, sandy or dusty conditions? every 30,000 miles  

seems to be quite a common problem. i have a 2013 ford edge sport 134000 mi on it, manufacture date is 10/13. the dealership just told me the rear diff is going out. so I'm searching everywhere for one online, all the genuine oem ford websites says its backordered but seem to agree on the part # 9E5140000AC. in a lot of the searches it says through 7-29-12. so that's where the confusion for me is coming in, since it was manufactured after that date. do they mean current date backwards to 7-29-12?

Thanks for your reply atulo. What does Ford recommend?
