Default Power but No Movement

Today my less than a year old SHO just stopped working as it should. Started out fine, then it was like I was in nuetral permanently. Car is in the shop now, but has anyone else had this issue with the SHO or 3.6 EcoBoost engine?

With today's cars and electronically controlled transmissions, it could be a number of things.
Usually the system will store a code to provide some direction. Let us know what they say they found.

Power but no movement. I had the same problem but a diet of branflakes and probiotic yogurt got it going again.

Speaking of low hanging fruit,
avoid the raisins , they have a countering effect.

An extra large bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats w/ Almond milk works for me. After a couple hours, you'll have the gas output of a refinery. Later in the day when it's 'sit down time' all is well.
