I was driving along rt. 837 highway on my way to work, going about 45 mph, when all of a sudden all of the gauges on my dash went blank and my speedometer went to zero. then a big orange wrench appeared on my dash. the truck dropped into first gear and i had very little power. i was able to turn my hazard lights on and pull over to the side of the road without being rear ended. i ended up making it to work, which was about 3 minutes away, in first gear. after shutting off the ignition and restarting the engine all of the gauges were working again. i made it home fine that day and an advanced auto scan of the vehicle brought up no codes. two days later i had the same problem occur on rt. 30 highway and i had a scan tool i had bought with me. i got 2 codes, (p0720, p0722) both relating to the output shaft speed sensor circuit.
My transmission sticks in one gear, shifts very hard, and down shifts unexpectedly. there is a recall for this, but ford has not started to fix this problem. it is causing additional damage to my vehicle the more i drive it. the recall was started in febuary of 2019.

I purchased my vehicle used from a ford dealership in 2017. i brought it in a few months after i purchased it due to rear tires locking up and a sudden downshift. was told no codes were found wrong and they couldn't duplicate the issue. april 30, 2019 had to have it towed back in. was informed of a recall on lead mane frame for first time. after replacing lead frame vehicle still will not preform properly and i have now been told entire transmission needs to be replaced. i haven't received any letter nor made aware at time of purchase of any recall. ford continues to refuse any remedies to justify this problem. i'm a single mother of 3 and am outraged by the companies failure to notify me of this safety recall. the company refuses to help because my mileage is 152,000 miles. 2,000 over the extended warranty for recall. if i would have been notified in a timely manner of this faulty transmission and possibly deadly recall i would have immediately tended to it. my children are my world and ford cares less about their safety and mine and it is wrong. please help me and ...
Vehicle in forward motion at low and highway speeds. transmission shifts unexpectedly! low gear-high gear-4wd-park!!! especially dangerous on highway. need to have repaired to ba able to drive safely.
Truck currently has a recall on it due to it going into first gear unexpectedly. took truck to closest dealership two weeks ago and had the recall service completed. was told to expect my check engine light to be on for three or four days. when it stayed on a week i called them back to discuss the light still being on. rescheduled a follow up appointment for april 12. on april 5 and april 7 the truck had the same problem that the recall was supposed to fix. going approx 50mph when the truck went into first gear with wheel hop and some fish tailing. when this problem occurs the instrument panel will basically go to all zero's and it takes the truck being turned off for the computer to reset and allow truck to drive normally. just wanted to document here since truck goes back to dealership tomorrow.
For over 2 years now an issue with the driver tran module has been causing my truck to go from any gear into first, locking tires up and causing issues while driving at any speed. ** safety recall was made on driver tran module **. however, my truck is now in worse condition without a fix to the issue, but my truck is now shutting the entire computer module down and i have further transmission issues.

My vehicle was serviced for recall 19s07 regarding unexpected downshifting in to first gear while driving. after my vehicle was serviced, my truck began downshifting in to first gear while driving. a new recall 19s19 was issued for improper/insufficient repair of original recall 19s07, however my vehicle's vin is not yet showing up under this new recall, but my vehicle is still downshifting in to first gear while driving

On the evening of 2/14/19 while returning home from the car wash, my 2012 ford f-150 suddenly downshifted into 1st gear from 6th gear while the vehicle was in motion. there was no loss of control as the road was dry and my speed was 40 mph. the next morning i called the service department at jack demmer ford in wayne mi to speak with my service rep. he did not pick up and did not return my call despite my leaving a detailed message and calling again later in the day. on the morning of 2/19/19 while on the freeway at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle went into what i assume is "limp mode". it dropped from 6th to 5th gear and a wrench logo appeared in the message screen. there was no description of the problem, just a logo. when i got off the freeway, i realized that i no longer had 1st, 2nd, or 6th gear. i arrived at work and called the dealer immediately. they gave me a runaround about how an official fix was not available yet and asked me if i had tried turning the car off and back on again. after insisting repeatedly ...
While driving on busy expressway in rush hour traffic, my truck suddenly shifted into neutral and i lost all information on dash (speedometer, miles until empty, etc). luckily i was able to pull over and no one was hurt. had to have vehicle towed. i was told that my trasmission has code p0722, apparently a common issue with the molded lead frame. i was also told that my vin was not covered under a recall and that i would have to pay out of pocket. very disappointed with ford's quality of product and customer service for a known issue. this truck has less than 56,000 miles on it and i am still making monthly payments.
