Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Multiple severe transmission issues: 1. Suddenly dropping from 4th to 1st gear, causing sudden decrease in speed, screeching of tires, and passengers in vehicle to be thrown forward. 2. Erratic speedometer. While driving at highway speeds, speedometer will drop and start to jump between approx 15 mph and 65 mph; this is followed by a very large clunking sound. 3. Vehicle stays in too high gear. Engine and transmission run in higher gear than should be; noise and vibrations can be heard/felt in vehicle. 4. Transmission will not engage and shift into proper gear from a stopped position. Engine revs high, but truck barely moves. This is a major safety issue (1st issue noted). It has been identified by multiple other owners through internet searches. Ford is aware of the issue. Their standard diagnostics do not pick up the issue, but when they contact escalated service engineers from corporate they tell the dealer to try a few other tricks to see if it is what they suspect. There is a known flaw that they will not publish. This repair is supposedly the wiring harness and lead frame that needs replacement. Have had the truck into the dealer 7 times for transmission repairs and finally after them keeping the truck for 3 weeks they have identified the issue. Customers services says there is nothing they can do to help me but they will make note of the concern. There should be a safety recall on this and i'd be happy to provide any more info you need. I have service records showing the truck has been in the shop many times with no success. I do not have final service history from plattsburgh ford yet, but will by end of the week and can upload or send then as needed. Www. Carcomplaints. Com

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
