| Description of the problem | On highway, speed(60 mph), gauges on dash began swinging wildly, transmission began shifting up and down rapidly and then down shifted to 1st gear at 60 mph. The rear tires started screaming and threw me sideways into the next lane and onto shoulder of road. I had been on highway for approx. 20 minutes before fault happened. I restarted and vehicle seemed to operate. I attempted to travel to ford dealer when after another 20 minutes fault resumed throwing truck off highway and luckily onto exit road. I again restarted truck and proceeded at 20 mph to nearby dealer. My ford dealer found intermittent loss of oss signal from the lead frame. Exact problem and repair as in recall #16n02 but my truck was just out of recall range. I believe this safety recall should be extended to include 2013 trucks with the same unsafe condition. I had some drive train warranty left so repair cost me only $100. 00 but recall would have extended my transmission warranty to 150,000 miles. |
