NHTSA Complaint #11191672 — 2013 FORD F-150

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF 70-75 MPH, I NOTICED BY SPEEDOMETER TWITCH A FEW TIMES. I FOCUSED ON IT WHILE DRIVING AND NOTICED THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT TO 3RD GEAR FROM 6TH, AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ABOUT 45MPH ON A DIME. ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND THE TRUCK DECIDED TO SHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST, AFTER WHICH I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND SLOWED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD ABOUT 40MPH MY TRUCK THEN SHIFTED FROM 5TH TO 3RD LURCHED AND WENT BACK TO 5TH GEAR. AN ODD EXPERIENCE IS WHEN MY TRUCK, WHEN IN A PARKING LOT SHIFTED FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH(???) I PULLED OVER AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE MANUAL MODE FOR SHIFTING AND DROVE A FEW MILES. AFTER WHICH I RECEIVED A WRENCH SYMBOL AND MY ALL OF MY METERS WENT INTO A DASHED MODE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF, THEN TURNED BACK ON MY TRUCK AND DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE ISSUES. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WE WILL SEE IF THAT FIXES THE ISSUE, HOWEVER I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FOR INVOLUNTARY DOWNSHIFTING WHICH MAKE ME THINK THERE IS ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUES, OTHER THAN THE WIRING.
