| Description of the problem | The transmission will shift out of gear, into a higher gear, or into a lower gear without warning. The speedometer goes to zero and the rpms will race to 5000 or 6000. The worst instance of this happened at 60 mph when it all of a sudden shifted into first gear causing the rear tires to squeal, the engine to rev, and also loose control of the vehicle. The error code of a "wrench" popped up on the dashboard. In my research, the 2011 and 2012 f150s have already been recalled but this needs to include the 2013 as well. The repair is the "lead frame" in the transmission at a cost of over $1,000. This is a very serious safety issue. |
