I was driving on the highway when the truck shifted and caused the brakes to lock up. Luckily it was pretty late and there weren't very many cars on the road. I was stuck in the driving lane until I turned the truck off and turned it back on. It seemed to drive fine after that so I thought maybe I hit something. I took it to a mechanic the next day and they were unable to recreate the issue or find a code to do anything about it. I ended up replacing other parts trying to figure out what caused it and was completely unaware until I got a notice of a recall for this same issue.

I received a safety recall notice 26S28/NHTSA Recall 26V237 On the same day that this occurred in my truck. Luckily for me, I was within 2 miles of home, the only way I could get home was to drive in first gear up the mountain road to get there. My truck is not drivable. If this happens on a freeway, I most likely would be rear ended as the vehicle stops suddenly. What recourse do I have from Ford motor company since I can’t drive the truck that they sold me? The recall notice says a fix won’t be ready until July, and that is a long time from now. I need a vehicle to drive. I feel like not having this remedy ready yet means that it’s not ready in a timely manner.

While driving at highway speed in 6th gear, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted into what appeared to be 1st gear without warning. Immediately afterward, the vehicle falsely indicated that it was in Reverse while still moving forward, and the backup camera activated during travel. The sudden downshift caused abrupt deceleration and created a significant safety concern due to the risk of loss of vehicle control and the possibility of being rear-ended by surrounding traffic. The issue has occurred multiple times and temporarily reset after shutting the vehicle off and restarting it. During the most recent incident, the vehicle also experienced a delayed restart. The vehicle was inspected by a Ford dealership, which retrieved diagnostic trouble codes P0706, P0707, and P1702 related to the transmission range sensor system. The dealership diagnosed failure of the molded leadframe/internal harness in the transmission main control, causing transmission range sensor faults and erratic shifting behavior. The dealership advised that the repair would cost approximately $4,000 and stated that the repair is not currently covered under the active Ford transmission recall. Prior to the failure, symptoms included intermittent erratic shifting behavior and false gear indication. No collision occurred, but the vehicle behavior created an unsafe driving condition at highway speeds. The failed component should be available for inspection through the servicing Ford dealership.

Exhaust manifold bolt broke cause extra heat coming from that broken bolt cause the crank shaft position sensor wires to melt cause the vehicle to stall while driving down the road and it not to restart just cranks and throws the code for crank shaft position sensor

The transmission downshifted at about 65-70 mph and after it stopped it wouldn't start or move. towed to Beach Ford and was quote $1700+ to fix.. Was told pan was pulled and they said "large chunks of metal were found". {Not surprising after downshifting at 65+mph...} Than I was quoted $7500+ for an Jasper aftermarket rebuild transition and i would suppose it still has the potential for lockup, especially if ford cant fix the problem until mid July!!! I think lives are at risk, the downshift is a very violent experience and total loss of control is very possible especially in wet or snowy conditions... I'm open to suggestions for additional contact information IE: Sen or congressmen ...Thank You
