Without warning, the transmission harshly downshifted, the truck lost power, the speedometer stopped working, the wrench warning light came on, the seat belt warning light illuminated, and the transmission entered fail-safe (limp) mode. I could not maintain highway speed.  This created a serious safety hazard. The unexpected downshift and sudden loss of power in moving traffic could have caused a crash. I was fortunate that no vehicle was directly behind me when the failure occurred.  After a diagnostic code appeared, I identified the problem with my own code reader, and a Ford dealership confirmed the failure was the transmission molded leadframe. Ford declined to cover the repair because its Customer Satisfaction Program had expired. They acknowledged that it was a defective part, though. This leaves me paying to replace a part they know is defective and is highly severe and extremely dangerous, as it presents an immediate risk of a high-speed crash.  I believe this is a serious safety defect because it can occur without warning and cause an unexpected downshift, sudden loss of power, loss of the speedometer, and fail-safe transmission operation while the vehicle is moving.  I don't have the part, but I can ask that they save it. The vehicle has only been inspected by 2 dealerships. One diagnosed the issue. Again, no warning lights that the part was failing until it actually failed. That led to the first dealership misdiagnosing the issue. I believe this is a serious defect and can cause crashes, injury, or fatalities.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
