Description of the problem	My truck has 58,000 miles on it. About 6 months ago it periodically began having issues losing power and shifting erratically. Initially, i pulled over and cut the truck off and restarted it. This solved the problem temporarily. Recently it began to do it more and more frequently. I took it to my local mechanic and he ran a diagnostic on it. It came back as a problem with the "lead frame module" in the transmission. He also said i missed out on a recall of this problem by 2 months. (the recall on this issue was through april of 2013 and my truck was manufactured in june of 2013.) he suggested i take it to my local ford dealer in parsons tn. I did this and once again had the same problem diagnosed for another $90 fee. I was quoted approximately $600 to have this problem corrected. I made the earliest appointment they had to have this repaired, which was a week later. My appointment would have been today, 8/23/2018, but they called me yesterday saying they wouldn't be able to get me in until next week. I went ahead and rescheduled and continued to drive my truck. Today i was driving it and without warning, it suddenly downshifted and my rear wheels locked up. I luckily didn't wreck but came very close. I came home and began researching the lead frame issue and saw many people had this same thing happen. I was never told by the dealership my truck wasn't safe to drive and this might happen. I really like my truck but now i am very disappointed with ford in general. I searched extensively to find a truck with no mechanical issues and now find out that not only do i have a " major" issue, but it missed out on a being corrected for free by 2 months. If i am going to have to pay to have a problem fixed that is an admitted defect, i will never again own another ford!

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.
