 Description of the problemIn february 2018 my 2013 ford f-150 while driving at approximately 50 to 60 mph the truck would without warning slam into first gear and causing the rear tires to skid for a split second. This truck is the vehicle that my wife uses on a daily basis to commute and to run our kids back and forth from school and sporting events so to me it was very unpredictable and extremely dangerous situation to be put in without warning this is you happened. This issue happened several times over a period of about 2 to 3 weeks and started to occur more frequently. We took it to the service department at ken garff ford in american fork utah where we originally purchase the vehicle they looked it over and recommended changing out the entire transmission i got online did some research read through several different forms and found out that this is something that was happening to the 2011/2012 f-150s so i knew that it wasn't a full transmission issue that something else was going on so i took it to larry miller ford in provo utah described what the problem was they sounded to be more confident and sounded like they had dealt with the same issue on other f150s. They did their tests and did say that it was the molded lead frame was issue and that that it needed to be changed out and gave me a quote to get it fixed. I agreed to get the work done. The repairs were done to the transmission and it has been working flawlessly ever since. In march 2019 we received the letter stating the safety recall for our exact situation. Nhtsa 19v- 075. Called ford motor company trying to get a refund and they refused saying it's only a software update that doesn't even exist yet. So that makes no since why they won't reimburse us for the issue that was fixed by their service department.
