I recently purchased this vehicle used less than a week ago. i have only driven it for about 75 miles. while driving down a busy street at 45 miles an hour the truck down shifted to first gear and simultaneously the speedometer stopped working. i kept control of the vehicle but if a vehicle would have been following closely it is possible if not likely to have rear ended me. i checked the vin and it states no open recalls. evidently the vehicle was serviced for one of the past recalls which clearly describes this same event as an issue. i will contact the dealership grey daniels ford in brandon ms where it was purchased for inspection.
While driving 65 mph my 2013 f150 downshifted into first gear and locked the rear tires cause me to spin out of control. this caused minor body damage to the vehicles rear bumper, from hitting something off the side of the road. i called multiple dealerships and explained what happened at the beginning of febuary 2020. they explained that they could get me into fix the problem for about 20 days at minimum and even then they would have to keep it longer to fix it if there was something wrong. i explained that i almost rolled the vehicle after spinning out of control and asked if they could get it in sooner, the answer was continuously no from all of the dealers. i asked them if i should still drive the vehicle and they said it shouldn't be a problem to do so, i then stated so you want me to continue to drive the vehicle even though this happened and potentially get into an accident and injury myself and or someone else or permanently damage the vehicles powertrain. they still said that it should be ok to drive the vehicle. well it ...
I was driving on a highway going approximately 60 mph when it unexpectedly downshifted. my momentum violently jerked me forward, the tires squeeled, and the rpm gauge went up to over 6,000. another issue is that it occasionally will not shift out of first gear. i will be starting from a stop and i'll be going about 10-15mph and if i don't let off the throttle the engine will just rev up past 4000 rpms.
Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear while in motion, speed ometer and mileage goes to zero, rpms starts to run high, and the tool light on the dash board comes on, in city streets and on highway driving. i have to stop and shut down the vehicle and wait a few minutes. when i start up the vehicle and put it in drive gear the transmission jerks.
Vehicle gets stuck in first gear sometimes and wont shift, several times vehicle has shifted to first gear on its own,also vehicle shifts erratically and gets stuck in third gear, dash quits speedo, tach, info center on dash quits working as well as odometer. have to key off to re-set. this has happen mostly on city streets and occasionally on the highway.

My 2013 f-150 will suddenly downshift while i am doing 25-35 mph. sometimes it will not upshift from 1st gear. it may take several seconds or several minutes for it to shift out of 1st gear. when it does upshift again it will slam into the higher gear. sometimes the speedometer stops working, the airbag icon comes on, the engine icon comes on, a wrench icon comes on, sometimes the display is a series of dashes and sometimes the display is blank. if i stop and restart the engine sometimes the symptoms go away and sometimes the icons remain visible.

After the first incident with sudden down shifting of my transmission, i took my truck in to my local ford dealership. i was informed that a new programming fix was available for the active recall. the "fix" was completed, and now about 3 weeks later the truck continues to downshift suddenly. not only sudden downshifting, but during acceleration the transmission seems to struggle shifting out of first gear. my truck only has about 57k miles.
Was driving 2013 ford f150 fx4 with ecoboost engine about 60 miles per hour when truck suddenly shifted into 1st gear and caused truck to rev rpm's and rapidly and unexpectedly to decrease speed due to shifting to first gear almost causing an accident on a city street. after the speed decrease, unable to get car into higher gear and drove at very low speeds to exit road. turned car off and on and it not help. after about 5 minutes, car was able to drive but experienced the issue several more times driving to mechanic. another family member experienced the same issue the day before, but did not realize the truck was shifting into 1st gear. took truck to mechanic and ran diagnostics for $100 fee and was told me to take to dealership for a known issue. at the dealership, a "fix" was implemented, but the fix caused another issue and when the air conditioning started, the whole dash vibrates and make loud noises. dealership still has truck trying to figure out issue of loud noise when turning on ac. did not have issue with vibrating until the "fix" was ...
While cruising down the highway this past weekend at 75 mph the truck suddenly went down into 3rd gear, then down to first and went into a stall mode. i pressed down on the accelerator and received no response. the rpm gauge went up to almost 5000. i then placed the transmission in neutral and then back to drive, whereupon the vehicle finally went back to normal and in 6th gear!
When pulling off of a residential street onto a city street the evening of oct 1, 2019 (speed limit 45 mph) my truck got stuck in 1st gear. with traffic around me, i attempted to shift into 3rd 2nd and 1st, but no change. i went back to drive and still no change. then a wrench showed up next to the odometer and the odometer went to - - - - - and speedometer went to 0, rpm still worked. i pulled off the road and turned off truck and restarted and all was fine. this happened to me a couple of days before, but when i shifted to 3rd, it started working again. i had the transmission related reprogram recall completed on 23 sept. both shifting events occurred after the reprogram. this could be a serious safety concern if it happens at a busy time. fortunately traffic was light when it happened to me both times. there doesn't seem to be a mechanical problem because turning the engine off and immediately turning on corrected the problem both times. it could be coincidental that this is happening after the ...
