| Description of the problem | I was driving close to 50 mph on a street and the truck suddenly downshifted to first gear without warning. The rear wheels locked up and went into a skid. The engine revved to the redline. After several seconds the transmission shifted back up into a higher gear and resumed normal operation. It was a spontaneous problem and has not been able to be reproduced. These symptoms are consistent with a recall issued by ford for the 2011-2012 f150's with the 6r80 transmissions, but my vin was not included in the recall. My truck's build date is 8/29/2012. The transmission's lead frame connector was replaced by the local ford dealership, but the software has not been updated as prescribed in the recall. |
