 Description of the problemThe frightening issue i experienced on january 7, 2019 is identical to the reports i have since read regarding this vehicle and the frequent issues that led to the recall for 2010-2012 ford f-150's for unexpected transmission downshifts [nhtsa recall no. / mfr recall no. : 16v-248 / 16s19]. While driving 65-70 mph on the interstate, speedometer suddenly and rapidly fluctuated between 40 and 70, then transmission abruptly dropped from 6th/5th gear to 1st gear. As a result, my wheels locked and caused the vehicle to skid into the lane to my right, forcing other cars to swerve out of my way to avoid a high speed collision. It happened so fast, and without warning, that it was difficult to understand what was actually occurring. Once stopped (in the middle of the interstate), i drove to the median, turned the engine off, sat for a few minutes to gather my thoughts, restarted the vehicle and drove it slowly to my ford dealership (not on the highway). After inspecting my truck, the ford dealership verified the issue and stated the following (written report attached): ran koec got code p0720 oss sensor circuit fault, ran pinpoint tests, found open in oss sensor which is part of the molded lead frame attached to the valve body, removed the valve body, dissasembled, cleaned and inspected the value body, all valves and bores are ok, reassembled valve body with new molded lead frame assembly and new revised separator plate gasket, installed new clutch feed tube seals and seal between valve body and fluid pump, installed new fluid filter and pan gasket, filled transmission with new fluid reprogrammed pcm and cleared dtcs, verified repairs. Despite parallels to the previous recall issue, ford informed me it is not covered (there is nothing i could have done to prevent it) and the total cost to me was $1,418. 83. Please expand the recall - it will save lives.

  • 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?
