I HAVE THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, TRANSMISSION AND THE SAME EXACT UNEXPECTED MALFUNCTION WITH THE LEAD FRAME AS WHAT THE RECALL NUMBER 16S19 IS FOR HAPPENED 3 SEPARATE TIMES. ONE TIME WAS WITH MY WIFE, TWO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 AND MYSELF ON A BUSY ROAD RIGHT AFTER A DOWNHILL BLIND CURVE WHERE MANY BAD ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FROM SPEEDERS. THE REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT BEING RECALLED BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED LESS THAN 60 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL DATES FOR THE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLES. SO I HAVE TO COME PUT OF MY POCKET $750+ TO GET IT FIXED WHEN FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHO I HAVE BEEN WITH FOR 15 YEARS NOW IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT THAT THE PROBLEM IS STILL ACTIVE IS OTHER EXPEDITIONS OUT SIDE OF THE DATES OF THE 2012 RECALLS. ALL IT'S GOING TO TAKE IS JUST ONE TIME FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN OR ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL BE SEEING FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN COURT. I AM SO BOTHERED BY THIS, I HAVE REACHED THE POINT TO WHERE I WILL MOST LIKELY NOT GIVE FORD ANOTHER PENNY OF MINE.

ON A BUSY STREET THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. IT WAS STRUCK IN A LOWER GEAR AS WE WERE ON A ROAD THAT HAS TRAFFIC GOING AT 55 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. PANEL READS, FLAT TIRES, NO FUEL, NO GAUGES WILL WORK. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION ON A MAJOR HWY, I GAVE THE VEHICLE GAS TO ENTER THE LANE, AS I WAS APPROACHING A HIGHER SPEED , MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID HITTING ME IN THE BACK. ANOTHER TIME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE , AS I WAS SWITCHING LANES, MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER WRECK. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR CAR SEATS, MY GRANDCHILDREN WOULD HAVE HIT THE FLOOR. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS QUICK ACTIONS, PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR EVEN WORSE DEAD. AFTER A FEW MORE INCIDENTS, I FIND OUT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WAS MADE, BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE . SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, SAME FACTORY, JUST NOT MY VIN! RECALL 16S19- NHTSA ID# 16V248000 . MY VEHICLE HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT, SO IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. NOTICE I'M ATTACHED PICTURE. 0 MPH, BUT LOOK AT THE 2000 RPM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
