Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	With cruise control set on and going 70 mph, on a straight level highway, transmission downshifted to 1st gear. Rear tires slid, engine rpm's were increased from the engine braking effect of the sudden downshift and tires dragging. Pulled off the road and turned off the engine for a short time. Started the engine and went home slowly without another issue. Did a search for what happened and found the recall for 2011 and 2012 f150. This is a seriously unsafe and unpredictable condition that if it occurs on a curve or rain slicked road could cause a serious accident through loss of control. I have contacted ford and been told the recall does not cover may year model. I think my 95,000 miles on my 2013 model f150 puts my vehicle in the mileage range obtained by earlier year models so i may be the start of the same issues with the 2013 year models. There is a component issue with the transmissions that they failing in such a dangerous and unpredictable manner. The nhtsa campaign number is 16v248000 for 2011 and 2012 f150s.
