Description of the problem	While traveling at 50-60mph the speedometer drops to 0 and the transmission slams down to first gear and then shoots right back up to sixth gear. It happened on several occasions while driving on the freeway and state highways. On one occasion the speedometer stayed at zero even though i was still traveling at 45-50 mph and the transmission was stuck in 5th gear. Even when i pulled over and put the car into park it was still telling me it was in 5th gear. This condition is very scary especially when traveling at a fairly high rate of speed. I can't imagine what might have happened if i was towing my boat when this sudden down shift occurred. My two youngest children were in the vehicle with me on the most recent occurrence, which made the situation more nerve racking. My dealer diagnosed it as a faulty output speed sensor on the transmission lead frame. I know there is a recall for ford f150's 2011 and 2012 model years with this same exact issue. I think this recall needs to be expanded to 2013 models as the same thing is still occurring in this model year. I have a video of two occurrences if you would want me to submit it but it looks like i can only upload pictures.
