The transmission jumps in and out of gear, the engine revs on its on. I was on the highway the first time and I going between 60 and 65 mph and it sounded like the whole bottom of the truck was just ripped out, the truck went from drive to either park or first gear it locked up the back tires and there was a truck behind me he tried to miss me but he hit the back passenger side of the truck. He was very very upset he threatening and cussing me because he thought I just slammed on my brakes for no reason. I explained to him what was happening and calmed down think God. It could have killed him or me or even several other people. When it locked up the tires then it jumped back in drive and tried tot take off, I threw it in neutral and cut the key off. That scared the sh.. out of me!! I have talked to other people that have around the same year model truck as mine and some of them are having the same issues with it jumping in and out of gear not wanting to shift gears revving up on its own and no engine light comes on I've tried to get a code scanner scan it no codes come up on the truck Ford needs to fix this truck they had a recall on certain models that were manufactured at different plants or something like that I heard but they won't fix my truck they said it's not under recall this truck is going to kill somebody it's the only truck I have and I have to go to work I'm just asking if you can please do something about this before people get killed in or I get killed I'm going to try to get a video of what it does I'm just asking if you can please do something about this Ford knows what the problem is I read stuff on it and they need to fix these trucks before it kills people they know what the problem is if I have a bad wreck and I live to it or this truck causing somebody to lose their life it's going to be a multi multi multi million dollar lawsuit because they refuse to fix the truck I'm just asking you if you can please do something about this thank you

My vehicle suddenly shifted downward, my gas pedal had no effect, my speedometer stopped working and my fuel and tire sensor lights came on. This happened multiple times on my drive this morning and would have caused an accident if I was being tailgated.

- Franklin, NJ, USA

While driving, the vehicle suddenly downshifted into 1st gear, rpms revved up, speedometer stopped working, pushing the gas pedal temporarily had no effect, "fuel level low" light came on and "tire pressure sensor fault" light came on. I was still able to drive the vehicle, though the speedometer was not working. I stopped, turned off the vehicle and restarted it and the vehicle worked fine. This event happened three times over the past month. Sheehy Ford in ashland, Virginia said that I needed a new "lead frame" and that the charge would be $900. Upon further research, I learned that there had been a recall for this issue for the 2012 Ford Expedition, but my 2012 Expedition VIN number is not part of the recall. I believe my vehicle should have also been included in the recall and fixed by Ford. I could have had a serious accident if this had happened while driving at a high rate of speed. Recall information found online: "Ford has issued a safety recall for the 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition for a potential problem with the output speed sensor in the transmission's lead frame; in certain conditions the part can lead to a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on how fast the vehicle is going, that could lead to an abrupt reduction in speed that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Ford said it's aware of three accidents reported and no injuries related to the issue. The affected vehicles have a 6R80 transmission in certain Ford F-150S built at dearborn assembly plant and Kansas City assembly plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky truck plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford mustang vehicles built at flat rock assembly plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb. 21, 2012; and Lincoln Navigator vehicles built at Kentucky truck plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 17, 2011.

Driving on a highway at approx 50 mph, vehicle speedometer goes to 0, mileage goes out, dash lights flash, wrench light comes on, vehicle downshifts (has done this several times (sometimes accelerated from 1st gear)) to 1st gear and goes into a limp mode. Had to pull over and shut off the truck- all fine when restarted. Could have caused a major accident. Very scary. This truck has had a recall repair fixed for what was described as exactly this problem. Has happened numerous times now.

Identical to numerous other registered complaints (June 4, 2018 NHTSA id number: 11099593, September 26, 2018 NHTSA id number: 11131784, June 14, 2018 NHTSA id number: 11101913, April 9, 2018 NHTSA id number: 11084000, August 8, 2016 NHTSA id number: 10894005): Sudden deceleration with gauges flashing - wrench light on, miles to zero with no numbers, speedometer fails. At the same time, the car begins bucking with sudden acceleration and deceleration, but ultimately the vehicle is losing power and acceleration is limited or useless. Several times I could reset the engine problem by turning the vehicle off and restarting. The last two times it occured when accelerating from a stop and the vehicle refused to shift from 1st gear. I attempted to restart it after pulling off the road but it did not fix it this time. (and on these occasions the dash lights did not change right away/first). I pulled over 3 more times and tried shifting through all the gears manually, including using the 4WD toggle, and that finally allowed the car to shift normally. This is extremely dangerous and at higher speeds can cause the car to lose traction. I've been fortunate that this has only happened twice at 65mph and I was in a position to get to the side of the road without incident. The total number of times has been 8 in approximately 2,000 miles of driving. If this happens now that snow and ice are on the road, it could cause a catastrophic crash.

When driving the car in motion at speeds over 40 mph the breaks would lock up and the car would come to a complete stop

Vehicle downshifts abruptly while being driven at approximately 55 to 60 miles per hour. Very dangerous, it can cause an accident. Some vehicles were recalled but Ford says my VIN number was not in the vehicles that were recalled. The description of the problem is exactly as the one described to the recalls in 184,000 Ford vehicles from 2011-2012. A wrench shows up in the dash board and a sign that shows low gasoline levels. When this problem occurs the only option is to pullover as fast as possible. I stopped turned of the car and turned it back on. After the car would drive normally without showing anything on the dashboard and without any problems. I have experienced this in the last 3 weeks at least 7 times. When a scanner is connected it does not show any signs or problems. Very dangerous experience every time it happened. It usually happened at a high speed in the highway which makes it even a more dangerous situation. It happened while the vehicle was in motion and being driven over 55 miles per hour. It feels like it downshifts from 5th to 1st gear without any reason. Only while driving 55 miles per hour or more. It relates to recall 12V190000 and it seems like Ford promised to replace the "lead frame" which causes this defect at no charge under 10 years or 150,000 miles. They say my VIN number does not have recalls. I firmly believe that the symptoms of the problem are exactly the same as what all the 184,000 cars between 2011-2012 had experienced. It is an extremely dangerous situation to be in. I also found that in the past 3 cars were involved in accidents due to this issue and thankfully no fatalities. I do not want to be involved in an accident due to this negligence from Ford. Please hold them responsible and acountable for their poor accountability.

After engaging the 4X4 via the dashboard control knob the "service advance track" message was shown in the instrument cluster. The 4X4 was disengaged and the vehicle was then stopped. The indicator lights for the ABS, stability control and 4X4 were then illuminated on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was restarted and at this point all stability control, anti-lock brakes and other powertrain safety features were completely inoperable and/or disabled. The vehicle was serviced and a failure of the wheel speed sensor was noted.
