Description of the problem	My truck downshifts without cause, sometimes to 1st gear, and on one occasion my wheels skidded (which was witnessed by my neighbor who was walking his dog and was startled by the skid). The speedometer goes to zero even while moving - i have video from my cell phone of this happening while going approximately 75 mph on the freeway. When this happens all other gauges go to dashes, including the mileage, mpg, etc. The transmission will slip into 2nd and 5th gears and will not go to any other gears. It sometimes remains in 3rd gear even at a dead stop. Turning the truck completely off sometimes "resets" things, but only temporarily. I have contacted a dealer about this and they looked up my vin and told me there are no recalls for my truck year - even though the same types of things were occurring with 2011-12 f150's, and those are the subject of a recall. This is a safety issue: it happens without warning, sometimes on the freeway traveling at high speeds, sometimes while sitting at a stop light and it shifts to 3rd gear and hardly will get going. I called ford customer service and explained everything and they said they would report to nhtsa but since it is out of warranty and there is no recall, i would most likely be responsible for the cost of repair. I pointed out a letter sent by nhtsa to ford on january 18, 2018 addressing issues with my truck model and year, but that did not change anything in the representative's mind. I believe there needs to be consumer protection on this, both from a safety and financial aspect, by nhtsa. I have video of what happened on the freeway with the truck downshifting to 5th gear and remaining there, and when traffic slowed the truck downshifted to 2nd gear and would not shift to any other gear. I had to pull off the freeway with hazard lights flashing and turn off the truck and restart it to try to "reset" things.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
