Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR AT ALL TIMES BUT SPECIFICALLY WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET RAN INTO ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST SEEMS YOU LOSE CONTROL FOR A BIT, ITS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND IS GETTING WORSE, I SAW FORD HAD A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF THING BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T IN MY BATCH OF TRUCKS, I THINK MY BATCH SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS DOING EXACTLY THAT
