Description of the problem	My 2012 ford f-150 is having serious safety issues that are addressed in for tsb's and safety recalls. Upon contacting ford motor company, i was informed that my vehicle did not have the specific vin number that matched with their cases. My vehicle fits the recall descriptions with make, model, year, and even manufacturing location and has the exact issues that these recalls are about. The first recall is ford recall 16s19 : unexpected transmission downshift this will cause my vehicle to randomly downshift multiple gears. When it shifts down it also causes the rear tires are lock up and i have lost control momentarily trying to drive at highway speeds. This also causes wear and tear on the drivetrain. Shifting the motor from 5th gear to 1st immediately sends the motor into a dangerous rpm range causing damage. The second recall is ford tsb 13-6-8: this causes me to lose all indication on my gauges except for rpm' s. I lose indication on my current speed randomly and also on all of my critical engine temperatures and pressures. This also locks the transmission into 5th gear, making it difficult to slow down properly and accelerate from a stop or slow speed. These two issues combine makes the vehicle a danger to drive. I do not feel safe anymore taking this vehicle anywhere and cannot trust it. I have contacted ford motor company both locally and at its headquarters. Their reply is that they have to fix it. I was told to contact the nhtsa for further help from a friend who encountered similar issues with ford motor company. Thank you for your help.
