2013 FORD F-150- Boise, ID
The vehicle randomly shifts to first gear while driving at 30-45 MPH. The behavior is dangerous - in one case it caused me to lose control of my vehicle; in another, I was nearly rear ended. I was then forced to stop driving until I could have the car repaired. I paid to have the lead frame fixed. I’m told there was an extended warranty issued by Ford for this issue; however, because I drive my vehicle less frequently, I was months removed from the 10-year extended warranty threshold. For an issue as dangerous as this (and from my understanding is one that occurs somewhat frequently), I’m surprised a recall wasn’t issued!

2013 FORD F-150- Oklahoma city, OK
Transmission has stuck in 5th gear multiple times and has suddenly downshifted from 5th to 3rd multiple times and has downshifted from 6th to 5th numerous times, also has started in 5th gear from starting of truck till I unhooked battery and then it went to normal 1st to start. On 2-3 occasions the wrench warning light has come on till I press ok then it may stay on a few seconds then turn off. Putting the safety of my family and others at risk as I travel highways daily. This is all after having to have another transmission in after the recall stating sudden downshift from 3rd to first, that recall caused my transmission to go out with zero help from Bob Moore Oklahoma city. They pointed the blame at me saying it didnt have transmission fluid but the shop that did the swap said it was not low or empty. This happened in 2021, here I am 3 years later wondering if it is going to be another expense I'm going to have to foot. And the recall procedure was preformed by bob moore Oklahoma city

2013 FORD F-150- Cynthiana, KY
6-speed automatic transmission shift issues. Car shifted from 6 to 1st gear while driving down the highway at over 60mph. Recall 19S07 remediation was completed previously, the reprogramming. Now the issues back and the vehicle randomly shifts to 1st gear while in other gears like 4,5,6 going over 40 mph. The issue occurs randomly and creates a major hazard with the vehicle dramatically slowing down until the car gets back to a proper gear . Ford states that the molded lead frame needs replaced and will cost over $1,100. The prior recall didn't fix the issue just delayed a future driving hazard with a cost to the driver.
