    The automatic transmission shifts when it should not. As I drive it shifts down into lower gears and once actually shifted down into 1st gear as I was traveling at 40 miles per hour. When this occurs the speedometer needle jumps up and down erratically. Occasionally when I try to leave from a standing stop, stop light or stop sign, the tachometer revs up as it normally would but the truck moves very slowly. I should be accellerated to 20 or so mph but the truck is moving at slower than walking speed. I stop, put the truck in park and repeat the procedure and it usually accelerates normally. Dealer took pan off, complete failure. Large metal chunks on pan. No warnings or indicators lite up on dash. Ongoing, re-occuring. Vehicle currently has 130k miles

    There is a recall for this same vehicle, but only 2011-2013 year models for the transmission lead frame in the 6R80 transmission. I am experiencing the same part failure, and according to online forums and the fact the part is on extreme back order through all Ford dealerships, the recall should be extended to 2014 year makes as well. My truck is beginning to experience Output Speed Sensor failure symptoms. I was on the freeway a couple times now, driving at normal speeds (65 Mph), when the speedometer started jumping vigorously, then down to zero a few times, causing the transmission to suddenly lock my tires for a second. This is extremely concerning and is putting a my life as well as others at a HUGE risk. Thankfully the tires didn't lock for long and the roads were dry. This could have ended very badly. I plan to do the repair ASAP but it seems like 2014 year models are also affected by this recall (19N01)

    Approx. speed of 50 mph vehicle suddenly dropped into 1st gear resulting in rapid deceleration. Both speedometer and tach were fluctuating and had no direct correlation with actual vehicle motion. Defect was momentary and truck resumed to normal shifting pattern and normal speedometer/tach function.

    I was driving my F150 on the road another day and it shut off all of sudden in the middle of the road. I tried to restart it but was not successful. It was rush hour and it was so dangerous sitting in a truck in the middle of the road. Luckily I was not hit by other vehicles.

    When starting my truck I am now getting a hill descent control fault and service advancetrac.also shows a weak battery but the battery is new and has been checked okay.when you get these warnings the power steering becomes inoperable.also no turn signals work.I’ve not been able to get it into my local ford service as of this time.if I keep switching it off and recranking the warnings go away and all is well.what I don’t understand is why anyone would build a vehicle that would shut down your steering because of a warning that goes away. I have since read about other people having this happen while actually driving and losing steering and some power.this could be life threatening if your going about 70 miles an hour in the middle of traffic. I don’t understand how it’s legal to build a vehicle with this system.
