The investigation into the F-150 sudden transmission Downshifts into a lower gear at highway speeds needs to be expanded and also include F-250 6.7 L diesel. It has happened in my F-250 twice while traveling on the interstate at highway speeds, down shifts from gear 6 to gear 3. VERY DANGEROUS

Consistent oil leaks. The cars are manufactured poorly and this is a horrible but common issue that Ford has yet to come up with a fix.

While merging onto an interstate the truck began to violently shake causing me to begin to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull off the road before I lost complete control. I was extremely upset after this event. After regaining composure on the side of an interstate I pulled back onto the interstate. Within the next 10 min I hit a bump in the middle of the interstate and the truck again began to shake violently. I thought I was going to lose control and crash. We immediately had the vehicle taken to a mechanic. The work they did cost 1300$. Approximately 2 weeks after getting the vehicle back I was driving over a bridge and the seam in the road again caused the truck to violently shake. Again feeling like I was going to lose control. I was able to brake hard and pull over on the side of a bridge. This caused significant trauma to myself and my young son. Since then the truck continues to violently shake anytime it’s driven over a bump or seam in the road even at slow rates of speed. We have taken the vehicle to the mechanic again and they have been unable to solve the issue

They insist that this is done by the federal safety agency. the federal safety agency insists that VINS are added to a recall by the manufacturer. We’re caught between a rock and a hard place. All we are asking is that someone look at the specific details of our FORD F150 to confirm that this vehicle should have been included in the recall and reimburse us the ~$7400 we paid to repair this truck with very low mileage. Also, sister-in-law wrote out the complaint trying to assist them for reimbursement for out of pocket costs.
