transmission suddenly downshifted causing vehicle to almost stop locking up the rear end momentarily scaring all passengers and almost causing an accident. this occurred several times. the vehicle does other weird things as well. dealer says it is lead frame issue wants to charge 1800 dollars to fix. I looked up info on how the 11 thru 13 models have recall for the exact issue and same transmission. why then wouldn't a later vehicle same transmission exact same issue be cover as a recall as well? This keeps reoccurring putting lives at risk it also looses power making so the vehicle will not move out of traffic the check engine light sometimes comes on stating trans issues the wrench light on the dash illuminates dealer as admitted it needs a new lead frame 2011 thru 2013 had recall for exact same issue has been happening for several weeks no warning just all of the sudden each time which is getting worst

- Orem, UT, USA

Driving vehicle after about 20min of run time the transmission downshifts hard and all or most driver assistance feature warnings alert they are not functioning. Engine RPMS raise but vehicle does not move. Vehicle got stranded on busy road during rush hour with no ability to move on its' own. Check Engine light and other warnings on dashboard. Later diagnosis with a scan tool and pin point testing verified that the Lead Frame inside the transmission has failed at 80k miles. More concerning than early failure is the safety problem this poses. Braking, steering, and propulsion are all affected significantly! Once vehicle is stopped and put into park it won't shift or start again. Also if the vehicle is in park when symptoms are present any input on the gas pedal raises and holds the engine RPM at redline/rev-limiter for approximately 5 seconds. TPS Sensors and throttle body are all functioning properly.

My truck will suddenly downshift when driving at highway speeds to a lower gear, causing the rear end to lock-up. Same issue that ford is addressing with the 2014 F-150's with recall 24S37, where they are replacing sensors & reprogramming the PCM. This is going to cause an accident and potential loss of life if this is not fixed by FORD. The recall that was issued should have included many other model years. My truck only has 60k miles on it and have heard of many issues around the same mileage on other years.

It happen several times. I was driving at the 50 - 60 mile per hour. The transmissions unexpectedly downshift to first gear and the RPM when above 5-6K. I have to switch the gear to neutral and pull over to the side of the road. Then turn off the engine and turn it back on. The problem seems to go away for a few days. Then it happen again.

Driver side door some times will not close and have to lock and unlock the door to get it to close, and transmission is making hard gear changes.....

- Mooresboro, NC, USA

Vehicle randomly shifts into 1st or 2nd gear while driving at highway speeds. the wheels lock up and skid, then enters into limp mode. After the incident, the vehicle displays a "check manual, " "Blind Spot Detection, " and "Cross-Traffic Sensor" light display. After a few minutes in limp mode, the vehicle will correct itself and begin driving normally. This happens 70% of the times i drive the vehicle. I have taken it to the ford dealer 3 separate times. The warranty company won't fix it because when they drive it, it doesn't recreate the issue, and they tell me to keep driving it until the transmission goes out completely.

When traveling at a higher rate of speed (30-60mph) the truck tries to downshift into a lower gear by itself. When this happens, the truck lurches back and forth and makes a grinding noise, the RPM will increase for the second or so that this is happening. This problem is very sporadic.
