Truck was recalled for downshifting while driving. Truck was taken to classic Ford in shelby, nc where the recall problem was taken care of. Lately I have been having problems with truck where truck will not shift out of 1st gear. Have to stop, turn off ignition and truck works fine. Today while driving, speedometer starts going crazy and truck downshifts to 1st gear, luckily I was only going 35 mph. I would hate to think what would happen if I was on interstate going 65 mph. Called classic Ford to schedule service, cannot see me until next week. When I described what was going on, they said they haven't heard of this problem. Have been researching on internet and I am not the only one having this problem.

Re: 19N01 transmission molded leadframe. The recalls that Ford did provide for my vehicle only included software updates that did not prevent the issue. When this failed my truck went from travelling 45 mph in 6th gear to suddenly shifting to 1st gear. I had my family in the vehicle and I was barely able to avoid having an accident. The issue was not covered by for because I was outside of the warranty coverage. This is unaccceptable because the software updates provided did not prevent this from happening.

Had recall done last year for speed sensor automatically down shifting. Starting June 16th 2020 the vehicle started hard shifting between 3rd and 4th gear. It jerks the trucks it up shifts. Seems like there would be some warranty on parts from a recall. I?M at about 154000 miles, so we were told we just missed the warranty. Being the sensor was replaced seems like there should be some kind of warranty at least for that part.

Going 70 mph on the high way my truck is down shifting to a lower gear then looses power the RPM and the speedometer starts going hay wire jumping back and forth. Doing 40 mph it does the same thing and doesn't want to pick up speed. Took it to a Ford dealership and they reprogrammed the brain now the mph don't work no fuel notice it's blank.

I have already had the safety recall 19S07 ' 6R80 performed on my 2013 F150 svt raptor for the sudden deceleration issues. This week I was traveling at highway speed and the truck suddenly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing my trucks rear-end to start coming around. Luckily I was able to maintain control of the truck. I took it to the dealership and that saw the downshift codes and attempted to reapply the recall. Now they tell me though the actions and near accident are inline with the recall, the code P0961 and therefore it is not covered by the recall. This is an immediate safety issue and the safety recall 19S07 ' 6R80 recall should be extended to cover this code.
