Description of the problem	On 5/9/17 i was driving my 2012 f-150 pickup on the highway at 60 mph when all of a sudden it came to an abrupt slow down and shifted into 1st gear. It was enough to cause a screeching of the tires and temporary loss of control. I eventually slowed down and came to a complete stop. Since i have the 5 year/100. 000 drive-train warranty. I immediately called the dealer i bought the truck new from to have it towed to the shop. After they took a looked at the truck they called back and reported that they could not find anything wrong with it and suggested a pcm/transmission reprogram. I agreed to this service work. Thinking this incident was very strange i did an internet search of recalls for ford trucks. My search found a recall for the exact symptoms i experienced. The dealer called and reported my truck was ready for pickup. When i went to get my truck i questioned the service guy about the recall. He indicated that this was an issue with 2011-2012 ford trucks but mine did not meet the build date guidelines to qualify for the recall. They would not cover the $58. 95 charge for the re-programming. This made me very upset. This incident could have had a very different end result if i would have hit another vehicle, went in the ditch, or worse yet been pulling my horse trailer. Please do something before someone dies in an accident.
