  • 136,000 miles
The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission warning light illuminated, and the transmission inadvertently downshifted. Additionally, the vehicle would not accelerate above 30 MPH while driving. The contact restarted the vehicle to correct the failure; however, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the output speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
