I own a 2013 Ford F-150. On numerous occasions while driving at any speeds, 40-70;MPH, the vehicle downshifted from 6th, 5th, and 4th to 1st gear, and cease to come to a halt.. The check engine and wrench warning lights illuminated. I would have to turn the truck off and restart to get out of the middle of the road. I would at times have to do this every few miles in order to make it to my destination. The check engine wrench warning light remained illuminated at times and other times would not, and the transmission failed to shift out of 1st gear. This would only happen periodically at 1st, then started happening on a regular basis I took to Ford dealership and got repairs done. At which time I Questioned if there were any recalls and they stated the recall repairs had already been fulfilled on my vehicle, therefore all costs involved are my responsibility. I paid the repair charges in full of approximately 2000$. Upon researching the recalls which started in 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V433000 (Power Train) or 19V075000 (Power Train). And also seeing documentation in reference to these campaigns that when some of the vehicles were repaired that the broken parts were not all removed from inventory therefore the original recall repairs were made with faulty parts. I then proceeded to phone the Ford dealership back and was pretty adamant that I should be reimbursed for the second repairs as it sounds like same issue of 2019 recall. I was denied my request and was informed to call Ford customer service for reimbursement. As of this date no reimbursement has been made. The failure mileage was approximately 136K

My truck had a safety recall to fix a module that was causing to he transmission to down shift into low gear at high speeds Many times while driving the truck on freeway at 65mph the truck would down shift to low gear causing the truck tires to lock up and engine rev and then it would feel like I was rear ended from behind..An illumination of a orange wrench would take over the whole display of gauges.The milage and all gauges would just be lines like -- - - - this and service engine light would come on too.I would pull over and restart the truck and it would drive ok again for a little while.I took it to Ford and had the recall fixed. When I went to pick up truck I was told my motor needed to be replaced because me # 7 cylinder was not holding compression.My truck only has 79,000 miles on it.There was no problem with motor before thr transmission started downshifting at high speeds My truck is under the milage to be fixed under warranty but because I don't drive it that much I am out of warranty because its been past 10 yrs.This recall for transmission i believe is what cause my motor to go bad

My 2013 F150 downshifted abruptly from 5th to 1st gear going 55. This caused me to stop dangerously and abruptly. It then got stuck in 1st gear. I turned off truck and restarted and it was stuck in 3rd gear. I did have a check engine light read which were codes: P0720/p0721/p0720 pointing to the output shaft speed sensor. I had Ford dealership TSB performed in 2020 to reprogram PCM to prevent this from happening, wrench icon showed a long with airbag light and dashboard quit working all except RPM gauge. The first time this abrupt downshift occurred was today February 21, 2024. Seems like a very dangerous safety issue and the dealership has no regards to it and said they are booked out and it would be $150 to look into it.

Feb 18th 2024 I was driving my 2013 Ford F150 FX4 (current mileage: 65,900) and I was up to about 55-60 mph when the truck downshifted on its on to 1st gear as I was approaching a curve. My gauges went blank on the vehicle and the check engine light as well as the wrench light came on. I pulled off the road. I tried to turning the engine off and starting it again. As I went to put it in drive, when it hit reverse the truck jerked hard and I went to neutral. As I shifted to drive it jerked hard again and registered the truck in 5th gear sitting still. I tried that (2) more times and same result. I unhooked the battery and reconnected it. Started the truck and no service lights. My family and I continued on our trip to dinner thinking it was just a glitch. After dinner on the way home we experienced the same thing when the truck hit 55-60mph, luckily right in front of an Auto parts store. I had them do a diagnostic test and pulled (3) codes. 1) P0721 Output shaft speed sensor circuit range/performance. 2) P07210-00 and 3) P0722-00. Took it to Ford dealership and said it was a "customer satisfaction recall" but my truck is past the 10 year period being a 2013 model so it's not covered and will be $1,300.

- Breaux Bridge , LA, USA

Was driving on a public road about 35 mph when the car decelerated on its own and engine rpm went up significantly (maybe to 4000 rpm) due to the transmission downshifting to first gear. While trying to change to manual shifting (M) I noticed the speedometer was reading zero even though we were moving now approximately 20 mph. Eventually I was able to manually shift to 3rd gear but no further. During this time, the speedometer returned to showing speed and automatic transmission began working again. I was told by the dealer that I did not qualify for the Customer Satisfaction Warranty Extension for the molded lead frame (transmission electrical) since my vehicle was three months past the extended warranty. I mentioned to the dealer representative that this felt more like a safety issue than a customer satisfaction issue during the event. I replaced the lead frame myself.

Last week the Transmission downshifted from 6th gear to third gear and would not shift to first gear when I stopped at a red light. Proceeded in third gear and vehicle finally shifted to fifth gear and would not shift to 6th gear at road speed. At the onset this time, transmission in 6th gear, at speed of 65 to 70, shifted hard into fifth gear and stayed there, wrench appeared on screen, speedometer went to zero and seat belt indicator light came on. I feel our safety was at risk, vehicle would not shift gears. After waiting a while I restarted vehicle and it ran properly. Two separate times when we were traveling on top of a mountain, vehicle threw wrench signal on screen and started vibrating excessively and lost power and went into limp mode. We turned engine off and after waiting a while, we restarted vehicle and it operated properly. My wife almost had a heart attack. Problem was reported to Riverside Ford, Macon, Ga., where we purchased the vehicle. They replied that nothing like this had been reported before and they did not know what the problem was. Random shifting problems continues to this day. There has been two recalls on transmission and I had not received information on this, possibly due to being the second owner. Currently only has 80,456 miles on odometer.
