| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from sixth to first gear and the wheels locked up.

The manufacturer issued a recall for the 2010-2012 models, but not for the 2013. The vin was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
