| Description of the problem | While traveling 40 mph my 2013 ford f150 (32,000 miles) suddenly downshifts into 1st gear. The rear wheels lock up leaving skid marks on road. The speedometer shuts down as well as others on instrument cluster. The truck jumps out of control. I have to shut it off and restart to move it. I called for a flatbed tow truck and it is now at a ford dealer. I have seen hundreds of complaints about this and crashes. Ford has had this problem and needs to step up and recall this before someone gets killed. This is very dangerous. I had another technician drive my truck for a second opinion. It did the same thing for him. He told me do not drive this truck it is too dangerous. Please do something! |
