Description of the problem	While driving and accelerating my ford f150 vehicle at approximately 35 mph, transmission dropped to first gear, which caused the vehicle to reduce speed quickly and wheels to lock up. Pulled off the road. Attempted to drive one more time and vehicle did the same action, while accelerating around 30-35 mph vehicle dropped to first gear and wheels locked up. Pulled over, shut off vehicle, then turned it back on. Placed vehicle in manual mode and was able to drive home. The next day i took f-150 to advantage ford of stuart. Advantage ford said it is lead frame that needs to be replaced. Researched on the internet similar problems with 2012 ford f-150's and found a recall for ford f-150's recall number 16s19.
