Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When starting from a stop, after transmission shifts into 1st gear, going to 2nd gear, transmission will disengage into neutral and engine will continue to rev. After 3-5 seconds, transmission will reengage and shift thru the gears to top gear. This only happens while vehicle is in forward motion and only on an intermitant basis, eg, not all the time. Also, sometimes while traveling at highway speeds, the speedometer will drop to zero for 1-2 seconds and then back to the present speed. Another issue is that sometimes while traveling forward, the vehicle will suddenly act like it wants to lock up as though it was placed into park. I have also come to a stop and when trying to start to move forward, the transmission gear indicator says that it did not downshift to 1st gear, but tried to start out in 4th gear. After stopping and restarting to move forward, it would finally downshift to 1st gear. Sometimes, the transmission will not shift into 2nd gear until the vehicle has reached 20-30 mph and then it will go from 1st gear to 4th then finally thru to 6th and final gear. I took the vehicle to a ford dealership and they could not get the vehicle to do these things. They did tell me that ford had recalled 2011 and 2012 model f150's for a similar problem. They reprogrammed the computer in hopes that it would solve the problem, it did not. I was told by the dealership that the leadframe valve body may need to be replaced or rebuilt to solve the problem. I am affraid to drive the vehicle very far, fearing a possible breakdown on the highway. I have scheduled another visit with a ford dealer to possibly have this rebuild done. The vehicle has 86,000 miles on it and they estimate a substantial cost involved to do this. Do you know if there is anyone else having this problem and is there a recall for this ?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
