Description of the problem	*ongoing lead frame issue, reflashing your transmission does not work* yesterday, (2/2/2019) , my 2013 f150 with 6r80 transmission suddenly downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear @ approx. 45mph. This time the guy behind me had to jump a curb to avoid rear ending me, almost hitting a pedestrian. This vehicle had been taken into ford 2 months ago with same issue, they said nothing is wrong because they could find no code, told me to come back when it's "actually broken". Took to independent shop, they performed the reflash per ford's 16v-248 recall because this truck is exhibiting the exact same issues. After flash, shifting was markedly harsh from 4th to 5th gear. During this incident, i got a large orange wrench warning that went away before i could photo. Pulled into parking lot, transmission stuck in 3rd gear while parked, gauges are blanked out, and airbag symbol is on. Was able to get photos of these this time. Turned vehicle off for approx 2 minutes and restarted, condition was cleared with no residual warning lights, etc. Don't have the money for it, but i'm taking back to independant shop to have lead frame replaced at my own cost. This type of issue is a timebomb that will get someone killed, with so many complaints of this i'm not sure what the hold up is on an extended recall.

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.
