2013 Ford F-150 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1420221
Internal NHTSA #	11042154
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2013
File date	27/10/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving at constant speed on the highway at approximately 70mph, truck spontaneously downshifted into a drastically lower gear (from 6th gear to 1 or 2). Vehicle rear tires chirped/squealed and vehicle lurched due to engine braking effect vs. Current speed. Speedometer needle waved wildly during this event (+/- 30mph back and forth). Condition appears identical to recall symptoms on 2011-2012 truck of same make/model/build location. No accident occurred as a result of this malfunction, but would have had another vehicle been nearby (temporary loss of control and rapid loss of speed). A case was opened with ford corporate on 10/30/17. Both ford corporate and dealer service refuse to acknowledge that any issue is present since the technician was unable to duplicate malfunction. When informed that further use of the vehicle without resolution would unnecessarily endanger myself and my family, neither representative offered any further steps toward resolution. Several similar issues appear to exist with identical vehicles base upon simple internet searches.
