Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Intermittent issues with driving downshifts and hard upshifts. Sometimes the f150 shifts from 1st to third under light acceleration and will not shift out of 3rd gear. Wrench light error comes on, air bag light comes on and the speedometer goes to zero and mileage counter all show dashes. Pulling over and shutting off the truck works to clear the wrench icon and regain speed and mileage reading but the shifting issues may or may not comr back immediately. Downshift to 5th while in motion and had it downshift from 6th hear to 1st on the freeway at about 70 mph which was scary. With this issue it scares me to drive due to the airbag light coming on at the time it downshifted to 1sr gear. If i would have gotten into an accident, would i have had no airbag deployments for me and my kids?
