While accelerating from a stop, transmission shifts from 1st to 5th. this prevents the vehicle from accelerating properly. must pull over and restart vehicle to reset the transmission to 1st. very dangerous when pulling into traffic!! while driving at 70 mph on the interstate highway with the cruise control engaged the vehicle will shift to 5th. cruise control goes out, speedometer goes to 0, odometer goes blank. check engine and airbag lights come on, truck goes into limp mode (doesn't want to accelerate). see picture of instrument panel, i was driving @ 65-70mph at the time. must pull over and restart vehicle to reset transmission. this has happened sporadically many times. at least my vehicle hasn't shifted from 6th to 1st like so many others i've read about...yet!!!!
Transmission briefly downshifted to first gear. i was traveling approximately 45 mph on a 4 lane street. i was not turning. the road was relatively flat. i did not lose control, as the transmission shifted back to fifth relatively quick. transmission will also attempt to start in fifth gear from a complete stop. i was almost rear ended from this event.
The vehicle down shifts from 4th or 5th gear to 1st gear, while in motion traveling on highway causing engine to rev very high, wheels skid, and unexpected lose of speed. check engine and mechanical light come on. the shift caused a dangerous situation in heavy traffic.

While driving at 70mph noticed my truck had down shifted into 5th gear, i slowed to pull over and noted the airbag light was on, the wrench indicator and speedometer was at zero. my truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear at approximately 25-30 mph. i was able to stop safely at the shoulder and turned the ignition off and restarted. my truck started normally. i went to ford huntington beach and described the situation. after evaluating dealer stated trans fluid full, poss lead frame damage and valves getting stuck. $1600! i informed the dealer of the pending recall for the transmission on this vehicle and was informed that it only covered a software upgrade. damage caused by a known fault should be covered by the manufacturer.
Ford recall 19s07 under this program, it is only a software fix to program the vehicle to ignore the symptoms of failure. the software patch programs the computer to ignore errors in the oss sensor. this could mask true problems with the oss and thus the transmission as a whole. further, it could cause a catastrophic failure of the transmission, engine, or both. our vehicle started experiencing the symptoms described in this recall on or about february 10, 2019. as my wife was accelerating onto the highway, it shuttered and downshifted into first gear. after a few moments, the vehicle shifted back up normally. as soon as the recall was issued, i scheduled an appoint with andy mohr ford in plainfield, in to have the vehicle repaired on or about february 26, 2019. i was informed that the software patch for the 2013 models will not be available until the second quarter of 2019. i advised the service representative that we were experiencing the issues described. i was advised that the vehicle was not safe to drive. i contacted ford's customer care and was advised the same thing but that they would not provide a rental vehicle in the interim until the fix was issued. on or about march 5, 2019, i spoke with the service representative with andy mohr ford again and was advised that the software patch would not actually fix the issue of the transmission downshifting. further, it was stated that the vehicle is not safe to drive. further, that this fix would simply mask the issue that was potentially wrong with the vehicle and that ford would not cover the repair for the actual defect.
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2011-2013 f-150 vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission (recall #19s07). the transmission may unexpectedly downshift into first gear, regardless of vehicle speed. i received a recall notice (letter) from ford informing me of this issue. problem is my truck has been downshifting from 6th gear to first without warning for the past month (feb.-march 2019). i notified ford motor co. and was informed your vehicle has a defective part and this recall doesn't cover this. according to ford, the recall is only a software download to override this issue. the recall letter stated my truck was safe to drive (really!!) i scheduled a appointment with a local transmission service center to inspect and repair. i don't trust the local ford dealerships. thanks ford motor co, for all your help.. this recall is a bunch of bs!!

Ford f150 supercrew 5.0 v8 6 speed auto transmission. erratic shifting while driving. sometimes will stay in 5th gear at a stop wont shift down, sometimes when pulling out in 1st gear will not shift up. bounces back and forth between 1st gear and third or 5th while driving. shutting off vehicle and restarting sometimes solves issue but becoming more frequent, recall for reprogramming speed output sensor was performed with no resolution. appears to be the lead frame module issue that was recalled in 2011-2012 ford f150 but not recalled or extended warranty on 2013 models. very very dangerous, cannot drive this vehicle!

Sudden down shift causing whining noise in transmission fearful of crash and lateral damage to transmission no resolve from ford on problem no software available
Widely reported- please read carefully! very similar to existing recall*, but not the same. potentially deadly. current recall does not address the sudden up-shifts mentioned here. 2013 ford f-150 mfg defect: molded leadframe assy in 6r80 transmission symptoms: intermittent loss of speed signal causes sudden/unexpected slamming upshift from 1st gear to 5th when accelerating from a stop, causing a complete and unexpected loss of all acceleration. indications: 5th gear suddenly indicated on display, dashes replace numbers on speed/mileage related displays (mpg, odometer). speedometer may read 0, airbag symbol pops on, large orange wrench symbol may briefly appear. pressing on accelerator does not cause downshift. motor may stall. remains in 5th gear without some other corrective action. turning engine off and back on will reset the computer, and vehicle operates normally until next occurrence. dangers: this could be fatal when pulling out into oncoming traffic, both from the side (pulling out in front of oncoming traffic from side street) or from rear (sudden, unexpected loss of speed/ no brake lights). ford cannot fix this by re-programming the vehicle to ignore the faulty sensor any more than you can ignore an oncoming cement truck or train. repair is approximately $800. if not recalled, owners may try to live with the risks or trade to an unknowing person, endangering lives of others. *this defective part is also the root cause of ford recall #19s07, involving sudden violent down-shifts (not upshifts). ford is avoiding the problem by re-programming the ecu to ignore the intermittent speed signals, allowing the transmission to fail more gracefully, defects to be repaired at owner's expense. this approach will not work for the up-shift problem. the defective part should be immediately replaced at ford's expense to correct both problems.
Truck will shift from 1 to 3 when starting. it will also shift from 1 to 5 when starting, creating a dangerous condition when pulling into traffic as it will barely get moving. the truck will also sometimes will not shift out of 1 from a start. shutting off the engine and allowing the computer to reset usually fixes the problem temporarily.

My transmission spontaneously started to shift down several times from high gear to low gear 2/28/2019. i was able to get it to the dealer down the street after stopping and power cycling. 3/1/2019, i was informed a recall on the transmission software was available, all was well, and i picked up my f150. 3/5/2019, the f150 shifted from high to low again. i contacted my ford dealer of the ongoing issue and they said they could not get to it and made an appointment for 3/11/2019. on 3/12/2019, i was informed by the local dealer they could not get the problem to reproduce. from research conducted from the problem onset, internet forums led me to believe the problem was a regular occurrence with the plastic molded lead frame module inside the transmission. the ford dealer said they saw no problems with the lead frame, but i made the decision to have it replaced. 3/14/2019 picked up my f150. the date is 3/20/2019 and the problem has not repeated itself leading to believe the problem originally was the lead frame module. i am surprised an update device and recall has not been performed on this item as it appears to be the culprit of the f150 shifting problem.

I noticed my f150 shifting strange at some points recently(with in the last couple months) then i was watching the news and saw that there was a recall issued on 11-13 f150s. so i called my local ford dealer and they looked up my vehicle to see if it was affected by the recall. it was part of the recall so they asked me to set an appointment for it to be fixed. so i did, i left it with them for two days on the second day they called to tell me they can't fix it because ford hasn't developed the software to fix it and it won't be available until sometime in the second quarter of the year. i asked them if i was going to get a rental until it can be fixed due to it being a safety concern. i drive my 2 small children in this vehicle daily. they told me no and that i would need to call ford. so i called ford and after multiple attempts to try and speak to a manager in their customer relations department i finally get a call from lenny the manager who processed to tell me that 'safety is not a justifiable reason for them to issue me a rental' so i asked him what happens when myself or my children get hurt or killed due to the nature of the recall being that my truck can suddenly downshift to first gear as i'm going down the highway. he did not have any answer for that and told me there's nothing he can do. so i then asked to talk to someone above him. he said there wasn't anyone above him. i'm very concerned about driving this truck especially with my children in it if it can downshift to first gear at anytime. that can cause a big problem and hurt or kill anyone in my truck and others on the roadways. this is a big safety issue because it's putting motorists at possible risk every time one of these affected vehicles is driving down the road. and they don't have any way to fix the problem yet.

Vehicle speedometer will stop working while moving and vehicle goes into limp mode only 5th and 3rd gear. if you are pulling out the vehicle will stall leaving the possibility for a crash. ford reflashed the pcm per the recall didn't fix the issue. now the say they need to change the lead fram which was recalled on trucks before this year but not this truck. a lot of these trucks are having this issue.
Feb 19, 2019 started experiencing drive train problems. while driving my truck it would suddenly downshift into first gear and will not change gears, also from a stand still the vehicle will not change gears from a stop and start. on feb 21, 2019 i took my vehicle to precision ford dealership of lillington, nc where a tsb 13-6-8, (obdii data code p070) open recall 19s07 was diagnosed. they were aware of the open recall but could not repair it until approved by the ford company. i contacted the ford company on mar 8, 2019. they will not have the software available until the second quarter of this year to make the necessary repairs, and they will not reimburse me if i pay to have my vehicle repaired. i feel this decision is unprofessional of the ford company and a total inconvenience for me to be without transportation with no indication or timeframe of when i can get my vehicle repaired. at this rate my vehicle will be inoperative for no less than 2 - 3 months which i feel is no fault of mine but a lack of expediency on behalf of the ford company.

While in motion (60mph) going down a highway, the truck shifts from 6th gear to 1st gear without warning.
The truck will down shift at any given time. i have had this issue happen a couple of times in the city at lower speeds 40 mph or less. truck will typically get back in sink and drive normal. the latest incident was the scariest. i was on the interstate traveling at 70 mph in 6 gear. and the truck down shifts into 1st gear!!!! locking the rear wheels up in traffic at this speed is dangerous and luckily no one was hurt or killed. since this issue i avoid interstate or highway travel as the dealerships tell me there is nothing wrong with my truck nor can they fix it if they can't recreate the issue. i don't let family or friends ride in the truck if i have to drive it or let anyone else drive it . i have a truck that's a death trap and is just sitting in my driveway because the dealerships tell me there's nothing wrong with it. i keep track of when it happens at what speeds and dates also . ford needs to get a handle on this as i hear it's a very common problem!
