This truck is spontaneously shifting down to 1st gear. it is also getting stuck in different gears and not shifting properly, ford supposedly has a customer satisfaction program extending the warranty to 150,000 miles for the lead frame, however i took it to my local ford dealership and they do not want to honor the customer satisfaction program. i called ford corporate and the same thing. not only when this problem happens does the transmission mess up but so does the instrument cluster, to the point where the speedometer doesn't work and the airbag light comes on.
