My truck will suddenly downshift when driving at highway speeds to a lower gear, causing the rear end to lock-up. Same issue that Ford is addressing with the 2014 F-150's with recall 24s37, where they are replacing sensors & reprogramming the pcm. This is going to cause an accident and potential loss of life if this is not fixed by Ford. The recall that was issued should have included many other model years. My truck only has 60k miles on it and have heard of many issues around the same mileage on other years.
