Description of the problem	I have taken my truck in to the dealership for 2 years now on multiple occasions with a loud screeching noise coming from the transmission. The dealership replaced many parts outside of the transmission per the recommendation of the warranty company. The truck is now not in safe driving conditions. It is now dropping down in first gear at 65 mph. I see where there was a recall on 2011-2013 select vehicles with the same problem. The shifting down to first happens all the time now and has put me in a difficult situation on the highway with nearly crashing. When it downshifts at speeds between 45-65 it will not continue to drive safely, it will only go at low speed in a jerking motion. The service director at capital ford in charlotte, nc dealership where i bought it from said that they have made many attempts to fix it but have not yet pin pointed the problem. The truck is now out of warranty and is stating that i will have to pay for a new transmission. Please advise.
