Our 2011 ford f250 truck is down shifting extremely hard from 3rd gear to 1st gear (automatic transmission) when braking. It shifts so hard that the seat belts will lock up and it will bark the tires almost as if you had slammed on brakes. We have had several times that we have been almost rear ended by cars behind us when slowing down and the sudden shift occurs. We have spoken to several mechanics who have told us they have heard this same issue from other customers with f250 trucks.

Driving through my neighborhood at approximately 30mph. Less than a mile from my house, vehicle displays warning to stop vehicle safely. I began to turn into a driveway so that I could turn around and head back home and the vehicle shut down. My truck was now blocking the roadway and a person's driveway at the only entrance to the subdivision during the morning commute hours. I shut the truck off, and tried to re-start it, but it would not re-start. The vehicle would not shift into neutral so that I could push it out of the roadway. I had to call a tow truck to haul the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership said it was a faulty sensor. (this was the second indecent for me involving a faulty engine sensor.) I have spent more that $300 fixing sensors that should not fail. Leaving me stranded in the middle of a roadway, blocking traffic. I am just thankful it was in a subdivision and not on a highway.
