Description of the problem	This ford f-150 is equiped with a v-6 3. 5 liter twin turbo engine and automatic transmission. It is 2 wheel drive. Te problem is that when you are driving along at speed the transmission will suddenly shift into either 1st gear of 5th gear. Predominantly 1st gear. The speed can vary from 35 to 55 mph. There is no warning. There are no codes. On one occasion the dash displayed a single large wrench across the display and the speedometer did not work at all. The only way to reset is to stop the vehicle and turn it off and wait then restart and proceed. On several occasions it happened a few tmes on one trip, about 1 hour trip time. On other occasions it has not happened at all. I have not kept a record of each occurance but i believe the total is aproimately 12-18 times. In all instanes the vehicle was in motion and on city streets or interstate highways. The roads have not been curvy but rather more straigh. To date there have been no injuries. This problem ha been occuring for about 4 weeks.
