Description of the problem	My ford f-150, at different times while driving, downshifts to first gear causing the wheels to lock up and making it dangerous to drive. I was driving out to get my daughter from school, when i was going up a small hill and my f-150 felt like it went into neutral all by itself. I was on the gas but it was not accelerating. Since that time, it has done it every time i drive it. At times, the speedometer and tacometer go to zero and the screen in my dash gets a wrench on it. I was told by my ford dealer that the recall on the 2012 ford f-150s does not include my ford. I was told that it was made 5 months prior to those fords affected. Yet, it has the same transmission (6r80) and same computer codes and exact same problem. Why can't i get my ford fixed when those that bought theirs a few months later can. It has the same problems as those recalled. This is my first ford and not happy with ford products at all.
