2011 FORD F-150 Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

The lead frame on my truck was experiencing issues. The truck would intermittently randomly downshift at high speeds or get stuck in one gear. I was going 65+ mph on the freeway and and my truck shifted to second gear with no warning causing me to swerve and slam on the brakes. Other times my truck did it on surface streets. There were no warning lights or anything to let me know it would happen. After it downshifted, the wrench popped up on the dash, my speedometer went to 0, and my odometer read blank. Forcing me to pull over, restart the truck, in order to get it out of limp mode to be able to make it home. I took my truck to Ford of Valencia California where they inspected the truck and confirmed it was the lead frame. The issue was that at the time the part was...

My truck when accelerating, it pulls and shifts hard. Also the speedometer sometimes does not work right and the truck loses power..

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that on multiple occasions while driving at 80 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted and the RPM increased and the speedometer became inoperable. The service vehicle soon and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he placed the shifter in park(P) and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and the mechanic retrieved code: 16-0008, indicating that the lead frame failed and needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of the warranty mileage range and directed to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

The truck will go from gear 6 to gear 1 and I lose all power. I've almost been in a wreck multiple times. I entered my vin and it shows no recalls on my truck but when I tried looking up what's going on with it I seen a recall regarding the exact same thing. Idk if it's because it's Canadian or why.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DOWN SHIFTS , DASH BOARD GOES BLANK, WRENCH LIGHT POPS UP AND SPEEDOMETER ZEROS OUT. FORCING YOU TO STOP

TRANSMISSION SLAMS BETWEEN GEARS AND THE DRIVE TRAIN "ACTS" LIKE IT IS STICKING IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WHEN AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING AROUND CORNERS AND STARTING OUT WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BREAK OR EVEN WORSE WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY THEN BREAK. *TR
