Recurring Intermittent abrupt downshifting to first gear at highway speeds.
Driving down the hwyway the transmission will kick out of sixth gear . Sometimes it goes to fifth. Sometimes it goes to forth. Sometimes it just disconnects. It is the same problem you are reporting on with the f150. Mine is the same year and the same motor and transmission as the f150 but I have the transit van t350. When it does this it says motor failure on the dash, service immediately. But it is not the motor. The motor is running fine. It is the transmission. This happens every 30 to 70 miles of driving for the last two weeks. The problem still exists. Will ford fix it or do I have to.

My ford van has vibrations between 20-40 miles. Many other ford transits has recalls for this. The issues is with the drive shaft and the drive shaft yoke.
On 17 November, 2023, at approximately 12 PM, I was traveling down the highway at approximately 55 mph. I suddenly heard a loud pop coming from directly under the cab and a subsequent rattling. It lasted for about 15 seconds, went away, and then lasted for another five seconds before completely stopping. Upon parking the vehicle, I crawled underneath and noticed that the flex coupling between the transmission and drive axle was missing two big chunks, and it appeared that a part of that material was lodged into the fire wall above the transmission underneath the floorboard. Also, present was a lot of strands of fiberglass from the coupling material. I immediately searched the Internet for some information regarding this and came upon an active recall that was published in 2019 for certain Ford transits manufactured 2015 to 2017. My vehicle is a 2016 Ford transit 250. It is my belief that this coupling issue that Ford published for recalls was not caught on my vehicle, and I have a concern that my vehicle may have fallen under that safety recall. Would like to know if an inspection could be done and some research to determine if my vehicle, in fact, falls within that recall.
