F150 downshifted into first gear while driving down the highway at full speed. Speedometer stopped registering. Sudden and abrupt deceleration. Engine warning light on. Took the truck to the local Ford dealer, Malloy Ford Charlottesville, VA and Service department said the molded leadframe needed to be replaced per Customer Satifaction Program (CSP) 19N01, but Ford would not cover the cost. I believe that Ford needs to cover the cost. I never received a letter notification from Ford and had it in service at the same dealer in August 2022 and they did not notify me of the outstanding CSP and need to service per 19N01.

The incident happens while driving home from work. I was on the highway going around 60mph. The vehicle then shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear. My rear tires locked up and the vehicle started to fish tail as it was screeching to a halt. I was able to shift to neutral, maintain control and pull over to the side of the highway. I believe the transmission is the component that malfunctioned. My saftey and the saftey of others was put at risk by the vehicle locking the tires up at highway speeds. I believe if the circumstances had been different, this malfunction could have cause serious injury or death to myself as well as other vehicles around me. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent inspector. the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. Prior warnings or messages are unknown. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle when the incident happened.

I never got a notification regarding the recall for the transmission lead frame code. I just recently started having issues with this problem, where my truck will downshift to 1st gear while driving at highway speeds. This nearly threw me and my two young daughters off the road. I took it to the dealership, and they told me that they are unable to help me due to the 10-year mark being passed, even though my truck has less than 103,000 miles. So now I am out of a vehicle, and Ford is not willing to help.

My 2013 has the same transmission problem of an unexpected downshift to 1st gear while driving at highway speeds as the newer model year F150-??s. I would like to see all F150-??s with that model transmission (6R80) included into the recall. I believe this would include 2011 through 2018 model years.
