Consumer Description

While I am driving the vehicle at the posted speed limit it will suddenly down shift into first gear. This causes the vehicle to decelerate quickly and unexpectedly. Fortunately this has happened while driving in the city at 30mph and not while I was driving on the freeway at 70mph as it may have caused a loss of control. The vehicle is not being operated at this time due to malfunction happening several times. I contacted Ford and they stated there was a recall but my vehicle exceeded the mileage limit. I strongly believe that this is a safety issue as it can cause loss of control.
