I noticed for the first time that the orange "O/D Off" light was blinking on and off.
The automatic O/D was definitely working but the "O/D Off" light just flashed on and off regardless of the actual O/D setting.
This was minorly concerning but when I stopped the car and restarted the engine, the problem was gone.
Not sure why it was doing that or what it was trying to tell me - if anything. very strange.

Well, the flashing O/D light is gone so may be it was a fluke.

I agree with the other assessments: 'trip to dealer' and 'someone else's outcome was to replace tranny'.
Topical sad story: My 2002 Explorer is currently at the dealer for tranny replacement. 102,000 miles. OD off light flashed and they replaced solenoid pack which lasted a year, then light started coming on again with increasing frequency, delayed shifting and then CEL came on. Tranny fried...
Ford has serious issues with 'engineered components'. I am convinced that their CAD software has a bug in it that throws their calculations off. Or they subtract from their reliability margins instead of adding. blah,blah,blah...
