Description of the problem	2013 f-150 with 6r80 transmission problems. (1) on 8/17/2015 took truck in to dealer at 40,000 miles due to erratic shifting and shudder, no available error codes. They performed a reprogramming and said a tire was out of balance. Problem seemed to get better, but still exhibited slight shudder and occasional bump at highway speeds. This malfunction was reported to ford (2) on 01/24/2018 (mileage 77,000), truck shifted independently to first gear at approx. 65mph, causing sudden speed decrease and momentary loss of control. Rear end collision narrowly avoided. Large orange wrench light on dash. Rpm's near redline while pulling over to shoulder. Restarted and functionality was restored, warning lights & code no longer available. Took to ford dealer, they could not diagnose without code, recommended new battery. Problem seemed like glitch, although would sometimes shift into 5th gear in parking lots. (3) on 11/08/2018 (mileage 84,000), turning left across highway, truck lost all power in oncoming traffic. Collision narrowly avoided. No warning lights or codes, restarted truck in intersection and functionality restored. While pulling into parking lot at 5-10mph, truck indicates it is in 5th gear. Restarted, was able to drive remaining 2 miles home without issue. Again, no codes available, but extremely unsafe. Will be towing back to dealer on 11/12/2018 and reporting these issues to ford once again. Symptoms are identical to molded lead frame output shaft sensor issues addressed in 2016 ford recall, this is an incredibly unsafe condition and recall should be extended to include 6r80 transmission in the 2013 model year!
