Description of the problem	Today while driving 70mph my truck shifted to 1st gear causing the truck to lock the rear tires, swerve from left to right, rpm's to the max rev limit, loss of power, dash cluster went blank, wrench symbol showed up, then wrench symbol was gone with a blank dash cluster. Truck then jumped to 3rd gear, back to 1st, then back up to 5th gear. Pulled over turned of truck, took out key, re-started truck and issue was gone. This has happened multiple times, however, i was at 10-20mph. Once at 55mph shift to 3rd gear, back to 5th, then to 1st, up to 3rd. Every time the truck will end up at 3rd gear. The truck will not shift down to first manually, you must take of in 3rd gear without any power. There was a recall for 2011-2012 ford f150's. There are multiple complaints all over the internet with these same problems all with years ranging from 2011-2017. O feel this is an ongoing problem with a huge safety concern witb your vehicle going from 70mph down to first gear causing the wheels to lock up and swerve all over the highway. Do people have to die before ford will recognize this is a problem with many years of the model!!!!! I'm happy my family was not in the truck when this happens. I car pool kids everyday on the highway. Would you feel safe doing this knowing that ford knows about this issue from past years. Please make these trucks safe!!! I took it to a ford dealer and they hooked up the computer to my truck, and the computer showed 0 codes found. Every time this happens you turn off the vehicle, re-start it (sometimes you have to do it multiple times) the truck will drive perfect until it decides to act up again.
