When I was driving on the highway I was going about 65 mph in 6th gear and then without warning my 2012 Ford f150 3. 5 truck shifted all the way down to 1st gear which almost caused me to wreck on the highway and other cars to almost slam into me. Now when I try to drive the truck it keeps throwing a wrench and the wrench blinks and my truck will not shift hardly at all between the gears. After I have researched this issue I see that there has been 4 recalls and a few csp notices for the make and modle of my truck. The recall numbers are #19v075000, 12v190000, 16v248000, 12v198000 and the csp campaign number is #16n02 regarding the lead frame issue that causes the extreme downshift. I contact the Ford dealership to try and get this fixed and they said there is nothing they can do to help me.
My power steering assist light and my advance track light came on then my steering locked up and I had no control of my vehicle. Luckily I was pulling into my drive so no one was hurt. I had my 7 year old gson with me too. It could of been fatal. I did some research there's a recall on this on vehicles before 2012 and after 2012 but not on my vehicle which is a 2012 my rack and pinion went out I don't have any backup lights this could have been a serious accident and if anything would have happened to my grandson OH boy Ford but I want to know why my truck doesn't have a recall hurt.
When starting my 2012 f150 I turn the key and there is a delay and then it starts don't think that is right I get 15. 6 miles per gal on my 3. 5 eco-boost and kicking in the passing gear I loose power and eng. Light comes on 3 times this has happen all times I pull over and shut truck off and restart light goes out.
