| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 f-150 ecoboost. I was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. I lurched forward in the seat. The speedometer went down and then back up to 50. It lasted all but seconds. I was able to drive home. I have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until i can get it to the garage. Thankfully the road was dry otherwise i would have skidded out of control. I have about 110,000 miles on the truck. This has not happened before. The past few weeks however it has occasionally not shifted out of 1st or has started in 5th gear. This has been sporadic only. Occasionally, when i start off, it will lurch forward. The vehicle has been maintained and has generally been a very good performing vehicle. |
