 Description of the problemWhile in motion my truck has slammed into first gear while at dangerous speeds. In addition, i have had instances where the truck has started in a high gear and would not exit 5th gear. At the same time the speedometer didn't work and the odometer displayed all dashes (i have pictures of this). My research indicates that both issues are due to a documented failure in the molded leadframe (part of the automatic transmission). The first issue appears to exactly match recall "16n02". The second issue exactly matches tsb 13-6-8. The fix for both is a replacement of the molded leadframe. Ford is saying that my truck is not eligible for the recall (with no explanation) even though my truck is exhibiting the exact symptom specified in the recall and matches both the date and location of manufacture as well as the model of transmission. I had the downshifting issue happen years ago as well and that was serviced under warranty. However, i believe the dealer only replaced the output sensor and not the entire molded leadframe as specified and the problem has reoccured now - though luckily it is not happening often like it did before.
