I was driving at 65mph on the freeway when suddenly the gear selection starts to blink and the truck went from 65mph on 6th gear to 2nd gear. The truck would not shift to 3rd gear, the service light came up and the wrench light. The codes that came up at P0706 and P0707. I noticed via forums and YouTube that this is a problem multiple drivers have been experiencing. To fix this issue is from $800 to 3,500 due to the Frame lead going out.

I have a 2017 F150 that has this exact same down shifting issue mentioned in the following recall. -??Ford Motor Company (Ford) Recall No. 24S37 Chronology CERTAIN 2014 FORD F-150 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS -?" UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT.-?? This issue has happened to me several times at various speed. The issue started occurring several months ago. There is no way to predict when the issue will occur, it-??s completely random. I have taken it to an independent mechanic who was not able to reproduce the issue or diagnose the problem. There were no codes stored in the scanner tool they use. I have not taken it to Ford since there is no way they can reproduce the issue. I have reported it to Ford, case CXH-02297813-T0J8Q0 There was a recall previously for the same issue for 2011-2013 years and has now since been expanded to include 2014. The Ford reference number for the previous recall is 19S07. My 2017 F150 has the same transmission and it seems like more than a coincidence that I have experienced the exact same issue and have the same transmission. I believe that Ford needs to investigate all year models that have the same transmission and expand their recall to include them. I-??m assuming the only included 2014 recently because they got complaints from owners?

While I was driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour with adaptive cruise control on the transmission unexpectedly down shifted gears causing me to almost crash. Once I got off the highway at a stop light the truck wouldn-??t shift into first gear for ten minutes. Once it finally was able to shift gears I barely made it to my destination and the truck would not shift into reverse. Now it won-??t go over 30 miles an hour because it-??s unable to shift to the higher gears. My family was in the truck at the time and fortunately no one was hurt but it was too close of a call. I have the truck at a local ford dealer now and they are looking at it now but said it could cost be 6k which I cannot afford to pay. I don-??t know what I am going to do. I don-??t have a vehicle to drive and now I am stuck without a vehicle to drive my family around.

Camshaft phaser failure. We had code P051B which led to sensor replacement. Shortly after cold start engine rattle. Suspect was cam/phaser from web investigating. At 50k miles this should be covered. Ford wants $6,000 to change VCT, Timing belt & faulty cam phasers. Ford acknowledged in 2021 their fault, but this was never issued as recall. We never got ANY letter from Ford. For people like us that have low miles, ONLY get oil changes at Ford regularly, should not be punished for bad installed parts. Camshaft phasers need to be recalled.

Transmission is hard shifting both when up and downshifting which causes vehicle to slip or spin out in wet or slippery conditions. Ford Dealership has technical service Buliton 24-2101 which identifies a problem with the hard shifting. At this point they are not offer a recall. Online this hard shifting issue is listed as as a problem on many Forums. Also, ford does has a recall on the same transmissions in the F250 model but not the F150 model from what I understand. The Ford Dealership gave the Following Assessment on the Transmission: Year 2017 Make Model Body Color 02/06/18 License Num! FORD F-150 WHITE DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE AND PARTS #1 - 60F0ATRD: Auto Transmission Diag AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONCERN - C/S: HARD SHIFTIN G. GOING UP AND DOWN.
