Description of the problem	I purchased a used 2014 f-150 xlt in june 2019. It's amazing amount of issues this truck has seeing as it's the last of that particular generation. I could deal with most of them, but the big concern is with transmission dropping unexpectedly to a much lower gear.. This was such a concern and safety issue i recall was made by ford but it only covered up to the 2013 model year. I think the model years of impacted vehicles needs to be re-evaluated and extended. I've owned the truck for 10k mi and it only had 40k mi when the event occurred. I was driving home the night monday, january 27, 2020 on the same highway, interstate 81, that i have taken many times. The portion of the highway declines and then flattens out near the exit. The speed limit is 65 mph and i begin to coast as the road levels out. On this particular night, i was going about 68 mph and on the downhill portion turning slightly right. The exit was 1/4 mi away. I was in a non-throtlle situation when i felt the truck lurch. As i took a quick look down to the gauges, the truck lurched again and i was able to see the transmission indicator drop from 5th gear to 4th gear. Of course the rpm went up correspondingly. It only stayed in 4th gear for 2 seconds before going back to 6th. I could only imagine how dangerous a drop to 2nd gear or even 1st would be. There is much information on the internet, some correct, some incorrect, and as such numerous ideas are put forth as to the root cause. Some think it's a leaking seal impacting the electrical contact outside the transmission, or a speed sensor issue, or a timing or programming issue, or a transmission valve body issue. I believe the recall involve a reflash on the transmission module to not have the transmission drop gears if the speed sensor fails. Whatever the issue, fort needs to look into extending this beyond the original coverage.
