2011 Ford F-150 transmission complaints

Truck will be driving at speeds of 50 MPH or higher, and the speedometer will wave back and forth and drop to 0. Transmission tries to compensate and downshifts drastically causing a very hard shift and slow down in traffic. Then the speedometer will go back to normal speed. Very easily could be rear-ended in a heavy traffic situation. Have taken to two different ford dealers over the last month who say the same thing, that it should receive a molded leadframe replacement, but my VIN is not listed in the recall (16n02). My VIN matches the same year, make, model, manufacturing plant, and manufacturing dates with the recall. I understand that there may be different parts, but it is my firm belief that some vehicles were left out of the recall. Even when ford employees are saying the fix is the same as those issued in the recall. Very big safety issue, and to charge someone $1,800 when it should be replaced for free, is beyond sad.
While driveing on a state rout started to pass a tractor trailer when from 65 MPH in 6th gear it shifted to 1st great slid the rear tires thought I was going to look control slid the tires at first thought I ripped the rear end out got the truck off the road and settled my nerves shut it off was going to call a wrecker restarted it to get off the interstate and it shifted and ran fine had issues with it shifting for months finally took to a ford dealer and they found an issue with the transmission replace some electrical parts now it's fine seen an issue with other f150 wonder why my truck wouldn't be covered also when it would act up I would shut it off wait a minute then restart would be fine then every day it acted up till it scared me to drive it

Car would be driving normal, and speedometer would drop off, dropping to 0 MPH. Upon which time, the transmission would try and compensate, and downshift hard to match the speed. Speedometer would then go back up to normal speed and transmission would shift back. Matches identical issues with 16n02, but my VIN (despite being the same year, make, model, and manufactured during the same time frame and at the same plant as the others) did not show this as a recall.
Wet roads doing 45 to 50 MPH and in a flash truck decided to go about 5 MPH truck went sideways into the on coming traffic lanes then the truck went only 5 MPH and I had a computer check on it and said the 6r80 transmission is bad and ford has a recall on this transmission 2011/2012 but not my truck it was built in nov 10 2010 but it the same problem everyone else is having and it dangerous

Takata recall'- our truck keeps shifting into several gears causing the truck to pull back hard and unable to drive on highway due to shifting changes which can't be controlled by the driver.
Leaving driveway, started to accelerate up slight incline on subdivision street and truck unexpectedly jumped from 1st gear to 5th and then suddenly downshifted to 1st gear causing vehicle to lurch forward as speed rapidly decreased to near idle speed. Seems to occur when vehicle shifts from 1st to 2nd, because if the truck is put back into park it will start to drive in first and when it shifts to 2nd it immediately jumps to 5th and repeats the above.
I was driving about 45 MPH and transmission shifts into low gear causing back tires to lock up and it was raining which resulted in a little spin out

I recently looked up any recalls involved with my vehicle. The first that came up was the transmission recall for f150 of my year. To be honest I only looked it up because my truck shifted from 4th to 1st while I was driving at about 35mph. The second time this happened I was leaving a golf course and the truck was shifting from 1st to 3rd and back to 1st again. Also the speedometer was going crazy on both occurrences, jumping 20mph at some points while I know I was only going about 15mph. The vehicle was in motion both times at low city street speeds.
Hi, while going out to dinner on friday evening 8/31/18. My 2011 ford f-150 was running fine... Stopped for a traffic light... Light turn green as we were going around 35... 40 miles per hour on a straight part of ct10 all of a sudden the truck went from running fine to it going into a skid while still accelerating... It was crazy!!!! Good thing I was wearing my seatbelt I felt that it would have sent me thru the windshield!!! I pulled over to the side of the road wondering what the hell just happen!?!? Since I was within a mile from home I decided to try and make it home... As I started on my way the truck didn't want to come out of first gear so I pulled over again thinking of calling triple aaa to get towed ... After sitting on the side of the road for minutes with the truck turn off I decided to try it again since I was so close to home... Well I was successful on making it home safely!!! Today is monday 9/3/18 labor day without having a truck to depend on... Tomorrow I will be bringing it to my local ford dealership where I purchased it.... I need help to get this truck back to running order...
The truck looses power while driving down the road. Most of the time I have been driving as a slow rate of speed 20-35 MPH. The engine continues to run and the wrench light comes on the dash. The transmission receives no power and the truck will only coast forward . Immediate solution is to pull over, shut the engine off and restart. The truck then has power. The problem may repeat itself within miles or it may not repeat for days/weeks. This happen 18 months ago, 4 months ago, and 2 days ago.

P0705 transmission range sensor input failure. Ford says there are zero recalls on this VIN ever.
Ford has a recall(16s19) on 2011-2012 f-150 trucks but according to my VIN my truck is not affected. On occasions my I have experienced these problems associated with the recall. What do I do?
I often can not turn on the car due to the "p" parking light not turn on. I do not know if it is some sensor that has an intermittent fault. I already went to ford autonation - margate, fl and they did not find the problem, but I've been suffering from this same defect for a long time.
