Transmission jumps in and out of gear with no apparent relation to vehicles speed or throttle position. If the transmission decides to drop into 1st at sufficient speed to lock the drive wheels this is terrifying and inherently dangerous. Ford knows this condition exists on 6R80 transmissions but seems unwilling to widen the recall. Maybe someone needs to die before they address this. Its a miracle this hasn't lead to a loss of life incident yet.

Output speed sensor (oss) failure (recall: 16N02). I was driving down a city street at approximately 45 mph, when the vehicle suddenly down shifted from fifth gear to first gear and then shifted back into fifth gear after approximately 10-15 seconds. Later that day, I was accelerating from a stop light when the vehicle felt like it had lost power and began to jerk when I pressed the gas. The speedometer stopped working, the info center displayed all dashes, the RPM's increased and the service advanced trac message displayed and the engine light illuminated. I had the codes from the engine light read and it came up as P0720 fault. My vehicle is experiencing all of the signs listed in the recall, but is not included. My truck was manufactured in the dearborn plant within the time frame of the recall dates. I have contacted Ford and the dealership and they could not explain why.

The speedometer begins swinging erratically then the truck automatically downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear at full highway speed (70 mph) causing the back tires to lock up and skid down the road. Extremely dangerous. Contacted Ford and they said they were aware of the problem and there is actually a recall on this very problem, but not for my truck since it was not within the recall dates by a few months. Took the truck to two different Ford dealerships and they said they don't know what is wrong with it, but could do the work outlined in the recall as long as I paid for it. See attached recall notice from Ford's website- Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition.

I was sitting in a fast food line waiting to place order. The truck was running and my right foot was on the brake. (I am a one foot driver.)the truck began to inch forward. I pressed on the brake and the engine began to accelerate. I pressed hard on the brake and the rear wheels began to spin. I slammed the gear shift into park and cut the engine off. I re-started the engine and was able to pull the truck out of the line. After re-starting the engine a couple more times I was able to drive the truck home. This occurred on October 14, 2016. I parked the truck and called my local Ford dealer. He said I needed to bring it in. I needed to move the truck in the mean time and it did it again. The truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The Ford dealership couldn't get the truck to repeat the problem. They talked to the Ford regional manager and I was to bring the truck back when they had a service rep available to fully check it out. I chose to leave the truck at the dealership rather than risk driving it. The dealership kept the vehicle for almost two weeks, said they drove it 273 miles and couldn't get the problem to repeat. And if they couldn't get it to repeat the problem they couldn't help. The Ford regional manager said the same thing. I have a lot more notes but they pretty much say the same thing. Can you help me" I am concerned about driving the vehicle without it being repaired. Isn't there a class action lawsuit about Ford trucks doing the same or a similar thing" please let me know.

While driving down the highway about 55 mph the vehicle will down shift and the odometer will die and drop to zero, most of the indicators will have dashes instead of numbers. The truck will automatically slow down causing me to have to pull off the road to avoid an accident. I then have to turn the vehicle off and remove the key from ignition and restart the vehicle up again to reset all the gauges. This normally happens within the first 10 miles of driving the vehicle. This would only happen on a few occasions now it is happening more frequently. There was a recall issued around the 1st of July 2016 but I was told the software fix would not be ready until the 3 quarter of the year. Ford now wants to charge me $131 to diagnose the problem. I should not have to pay for it to be diagnosed if they already have a recall. I wonder how many lives will be in danger until the 3rd quarter update is available.

I have a 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck. Recently I have been experience issues with the truck randomly shifting to first gear. I checked the Ford website and there is a recall notice number 16S19 covering this very issue. I took the truck to the local Ford dealer and they test drove it. They were unable to duplicate the action. They said that there was nothing they could do. I had no choice but to take the vehicle. The very next morning it happened two times on my way to work. I think this is a very unsafe situation and Ford or the dealership should provide me a vehicle until it is fixed. If I experience this random downshift while in traffic it could very easily cause an accident resulting in serious injury. The Ford dealer is bedford Ford located in bedford pa.

While crossing a major intersection the car came to a stop. The engine and the electricity stayed on however RPM's dropped to less than 1000 and it just rolled to a stop. I pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. This persisted for 10 seconds. Luckily, just before I was almost hit the accelerator started working again and I barely made it clear. I brought the truck in as it is still under warranty and they said they know exactly what the issue is but can't fix it until they can re-create it. They have seen this on many F-150's of this year and type. They have had my truck for 3 days and can't make it happen again so they have asked me to come get it, knowing it has this issue. My take on this is I am a guinea pig until it happens enough, someone dies and a recall starts.

#1: driving down the interstate, attempting to pass a semi; vehicle lost power as I tried to accelerate and we had to coast to a stop. This has actually happened twice. The first time they replaced the intercooler and the second time I replaced the spark plugs. It occurred about three weeks after getting the vehicle it's regular service. If there was a problem with the gaps on the plugs, and they knew cars were losing power because of it, then they should have mentioned that at the service! #2: driving down the interstate and speedometer jumped around and went to zero. After I got off the highway, I lost power and had erratic shifting while trying to cross an intersection. There's a tsb out for this too!! why isn't there a recall if there's a defective part that creates dangerous situations!"!"

When driving the truck and I hit the brakes, sometimes the car automatically accelerates having a hard time trying to control the speed of the truck. Went to the dealer and it didn't happen to them, can't explain why this happens. Now I have to brake a great distance in advance before actually going to stop because I don't know if and when it will happen again. It also happened when I was backing up into a parking space and had to jam in park to stop it. It just happens with no warning. It has happened several times in the past two years.
