| Description of the problem | In addition to the 2013 ford f150 transmission recall, i have a 2010 f150 that had the same transmission problem where the transmission shifts to first gear at speed. I was going 70 mph with my wife and daughter on a virginia interstate highway when mine dropped from 6th to 1st gear in august 2011. Fortunately i was able to shift into neutral and safely get it off the road, but this transmission problem has been going on longer than the current recall reports. I feel this is a safety issue that ford should address, since my transmission still has a hard shift from time to time, so i don't feel the issue is resolved. They have replaced the megatronics unit (twice), and the torque converter, but it is still the same transmission and drive train which i still feel is not 100% fixed. I see now that the recall might be expanded to include 2011 and 2012 f150s, but i feel it should be expanded to include those 2010 models too, since i had the same issue with my 2010 f150. |
