| Description of the problem | Despite not being included in the recent recall, my 2012 f-150 suddenly downshifted while cruising at 45-50mph, resulting in a dangerous sudden slowdown and lurching forward on busy city thoroughfare. Two days later, a sudden stop resulted in a temporary check engine light. Dealer diagnostics indicated the leadframe connector needed to be replaced. This is the same repair covered under the current recall that does not include the production that my truck was a part of. Approximately 1 month prior, the truck was taken to the dealership for erratic shifting at slow speeds, but the issue was not able to be diagnosed at that time. Instead, a transmission flush and slip-yoke lubrication were recommended. |
