I WAS DRIVING MY F150 WHEN I COME TO A STOP LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED AND GOT TO SPEED (55MPH) WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST. I PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. STARTED AGAIN AND WORKED FINE. LATER THAT DAY THE TRUCK DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN TO 1ST. PULLED OVER AND WENT TO TAKE OFF AND IT STARTED IN SECOND THEN JUMPED TO 5TH AND WOULDN'T SHIFT. I COULDN'T TAKE OFF IN 5TH SO I PUT IN PARK TURNED OFF AND WAITED 10MINS BEFORE STARTING AGAIN. IT WORKED FINE AFTER. THIS IS VERY SCARY.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T RESTART FOR HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE MAY AND TWICE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE FORD DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG THAT CAN BE RECREATED. I HAVE STALLED OUT ON AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. I RECENTLY HAD THE ENTIRE TRUCK SERVICED, FROM OIL CHANGE TO THROTTLE BODY CLEANING TO SPARK PLUGS TO TRANSMISSION CLEANED, AXLES CLEANED. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE MID AUGUST 2018 AND STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE 102,367 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE MANY AND THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS MALFUNCTION. I AM SITTING ON THE ROADWAY RIGHT AT THE MOMENT, WAITING FOR AAA TO TOW MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH MY 2013 FORD F150 (32,000 MILES) SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR. THE REAR WHEELS LOCK UP LEAVING SKID MARKS ON ROAD. THE SPEEDOMETER SHUTS DOWN AS WELL AS OTHERS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE TRUCK JUMPS OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART TO MOVE IT. I CALLED FOR A FLATBED TOW TRUCK AND IT IS NOW AT A FORD DEALER. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND CRASHES. FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD ANOTHER TECHNICIAN DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR A SECOND OPINION. IT DID THE SAME THING FOR HIM. HE TOLD ME DO NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!
