while applying the brake i had complete brake failure. I learned the brake booter and master cylinder were leaking as describe in the recall.

The above vechile was taken to a Ford dealership when the trouble started with the transmission. Understanding the problem was and still related to the transmission, with the recall for reason for the recall. They took it in and "fixed" said problem. Now some 3 yrs later I still have the problems. They said they reprogrammed the computer on the transmission which they said was the problem. Which the recall stated that the Lead Frame was to be replaced. The truck does the following shifts rough from 3 to 4 gear, then will shift from 3 to 5th, back to 2nd, then to 5th gear then to 6th gear and then will at times go to 1st locking up the rear wheels in traffic. I cannot enough think about putting my granddaughter in the truck, with this happening. They (dealership) will not even look at the truck unless I pay $230.00. I need help. I tell them what it is doing and have a read out report from another shop and have video of the truck stuck in 3rd gear. I can only use the truck to drive 3 miles to work and back home before the transmission starts "acting" up. I cannot use the truck for what it was designed for. Now, I see that another recall maybe open for the same problems for 215 to 2024 vehicles. I need my truck to be a truck and not a big uber. Thank you, your time and attention to this matter. I am concerned about my family's safety as well as others on the road. I do not get on the interstate. I stay on the surface roads and back roads for my safety and the safety of others. Please reopen the past recall for the 2013. I am sure there are hundreds of trucks still having problems if the "Lead Frame" was not replaced or fixed. I have check engine and the wrench lights on my dash. Again, Thank you in advance for your help.06/01
