1. while driving at highway speeds (around 70 mph) the vehicle suddenly down-shifted into 2nd gear. The rear tires briefly locked up, but control of the vehicle was managed. 2. while driving, both in town and on the highway, the vehicle would downshift from 6th gear to 5th. The vehicle would then not shift below 3rd gear when brought to a stop. Turning the vehicle off and on again would reset the problem. The maintenance light and airbag light illuminated. The speedometer went to 0. the odometer and other digital readings in the center cluster on the dash showed all dashes. After several of these events, the check engine light also illuminated. 3. after one of the events described in 2 above, the vehicle was stopped, shifted into reverse, and then returned to drive.

At 60 mph on 6/22/2019 this vehicle dropped to second gear causing me to lose control. This vehicle was recalled (Ford 19S07) and dealer repaired on 3/26/19 prior to the above event. Obviously the recall "fix" doesn't work.
Recall 19S07: Recall description: On your vehicle, an intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss) in the transmission may result in an unintended downshift to first gear. Risk to safety: An unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy program: Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to reprogram the powertrain control module with software that will prevent an unintended downshift into first gear in the event of an intermittent oss failure. This service will be performed free of charge (parts and labor). F-150 3.5L, 5.0L, and 6.2L vehicles: Ford Motor Company is working as quickly as possible to develop the software for this repair. When the software become available, Ford Motor Company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). The software is anticipated to be available by late 2nd quarter, 2019. Status: 11 - recall incomplete my vehicle shifted into 1st gear while traveling 70 mph and towing a boat.
