Description of the problem	My 2012 ford f150 has about 60k miles on it. I have been having transmission problems - shifting into higher or lower gears than it should, not shifting into gear, revving high with low power, the speedometer will show 0 mph a lot of times, and at one point it downshifted into first gear while i was driving 65-70mph on the freeway. Fortunately, that time nobody was behind me and i was able to safely pull to the shoulder. That only happened once. I was able to put it in park, turn it off, and turn it on again to get it going. The other issues have been happening a few times a day and i can get it to work and back but it's a little dicey when driving in traffic. I have to put it in park, turn it off and sometimes in reverse to get it going. I got a dtc p0720 a few days ago and then took it into the shop on sept 18th. Jones west ford, the ford dealership in reno told me it was the lead frame and they would replace it for over $700. I started looking online to see if anybody had experience with this. Apparently there was a recall for my make and model and year, with my transmission, for trucks built at the plant where my truck was built at the time my truck was built. I called ford customer service, but they and the dealership say my truck is not affected by the recall. It is however showing all the signs of an unsafe vehicle with the exact same problems that i am seeing in the recall (i guess ford now calls it a "customer satisfaction program" 16n02). They said they would have to charge me, they didn't fix my truck, said the part is back-ordered and i should come and get my truck and take the chance of driving it. I asked for a loaner vehicle and they said no. After i picked it up, driving home in heavy traffic, the hood started to rise up. After they didn't fix my truck, they forgot to latch the hood. Very scary. Pulled to the side of the busy freeway, latched the hood.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
