Blind Spot Detection problem #1

While truck is running it suddenly jolts an downshifts to first gear. Then jolts again into gear. It takes a while sometimes for it to get back in gear and running. Does it randomly but more and more often. Mechanic serviced transmission said it was fine. Feels unsafe to drive.

Assist problem #2

Power steering failure. On two separate occasions the power steering pulled the steering wheel out of my hands while making a right hand turn. I was lucky that in both occurrences that there was nothing in the other lane or there would have been an accident. This should be a huge safety concern for Ford but I seriously doubt they even care.
