Description of the problem	Was driving my eco boost while towing a 26 foot travel trailer and while in 4th gear truck instantly and without warning shifted into 1st gear causing rpms to be dangerously high. The truck/trailer combo instantly slowed and truck would not ,automatically or manually, shift out of first gear. We continued driving in first gear for a short distance when we smelled transmission fluid. We stopped the truck to investigate and found our transmission line had busted which leaked fluid all over the road. We had truck towed to local ford dealership who told us that the transmission shifting issue is related to a current recall but ford has not issued a fix for the recall. The dealer then charged me $568. 21 to fix the transmission line stating that ford has not included the transmission line fix in their related recall. Ford is refusing to pay associated towing expenses, as well. I called ford customer relations to lodge a complaint regarding this issue and was told the dealer makes final decisions. Case id # cas-17653886. Ford tells me i need to continue to drive this truck knowing there is a transmission issue until ford releases a fix for these transmissions. I feel it is completely unsafe to drive knowing this could happen at any given moment while driving and especially for a truck that is already known to have had this happen.
