Description of the problem	The truck will abruptly downshift into first gear causing the rear wheels to slide while driving at highway speed. This is a very dangerous thing, nhtsa campaign number 16v248000. We did take it into the dealer to have the power train control module reprogrammed to address the issue (ford recall 16s19). This did not resolve the problem but the dealer advised that they were not authorized to do anything further to address the problem. We were also told by the dealer, and research had indicated, that the truck needs to have the molded lead frame replaced. We were advised by the dealer that this part is in short supply, because of heavy demand, and the waiting list is over 3 months to get one. Ford motors did agree to replace the lead frame if you came in before december 31st 2016 or, had 150,000 miles or less, or less than ten years from warranty date (ford 16n02). I did call ford motor company and they said they had met their obligation and would do nothing more to address this serious safety issue. This issue did not occur with our vehicle until after fords recall repair conditions (above) had expired (16n02 molded leadframe extended coverage ). This is a serious safety issue that should be addressed without an expiration date, miles, or time limit. The fact that ford has acknowledged that this is a problem and a safety concern, they should stand behind their customers and fix it. The date being ask for below is to the best of my memory.
