Power train auto transmission controls module reset has already been done to car. When accelerating from 50-75 the transmission shudders and jumps. When you go up hill it's impossible to accelerate at all without the transmission shuddering. Engine light blinks occasionally.
It is know that on most Ford trucks that neutral safety module switch goes out and will not let truck start in park or neutral or any gear settings. With other power drive problems.
While driving my F150 on highway the vehicle transmission is dropping gears suddenly, it seems its going to first gear, another problem I am having with the vehicle's transmission does not go into reverse, when I push the shift lever in the reverse position, the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the reverse light does not illuminate on the dashboard of my F-150 and the backup lamp on the rear of my F-150 does not illuminate.
Back in February or March of this year (2020), I took my truck to a local Ford dealer for an estimate on a couple of different repairs and also for them to perform recall #19V075. After having my vehicle for 3 days they did not perform any repairs. And until today when I looked up my VIN, I had assumed that they would have at least done the safety recall. But they apparently neglected to do that too. Well, last night when I was about to pull into my driveway, my truck seemed to downshift abruptly and have minimal power and various lights turned on and off on the dash. Then this morning, my truck would not start. It would only start in neutral, followed by extremely aggressive shifting into drive and reverse. Aggressive enough to cause the truck to move a couple of feet even with my foot on the brake. This subsequent problem appears to be associated with fsa 19N01 that Ford has associated with my VIN. I suppose that it is unknown right now if the two problems are related. I will find out Wednesday, as I have an appointment to take my truck back in. I just cannot believe that after having my vehicle for multiple days, they failed to perform the safety recall update as I requested. I am lucky that I did not experience the downshifting problem while at higher speeds! I am not sure if this is even worthy of a complaint, but I figured that I should pass this along. The dealership is van horn Ford in oconomowoc, wi.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
While driving it down shifts from 3 to 1, codes are P0705 and P0016. These should fall under the factory recall for 15N05 and 19N01 but Ford refuses to cover it. Truck not only downshifts but also clinics into gear from park to drive or reverse.
I will be accelerating from a stop position or cruising in town at 40 mph or on the interstate at 75 mph and my transmission will randomly slam into a lower gear causing my tires to occasionally lock up. My speedometer will simply stop working, my digital dash display will display dash marks instead of numbers and also display a wrench icon. Then once I pull the vehicle over and turn it off for a minute, everything will return to normal.
I am having a shifting problem looked up VIN on NHTSA and seen one recall and vehicle is doing the exact same thing described while in motion.NHTSA 19V075 or manufactures code 19S07
I had Ford dealer preform software update for the last recall. This had made the problem worse. I have ask the dealer and the told me it was may issue. I keep getting error code P0270 when this happens.
My Ford F150 is suddenly downshifting to a lower gear while on the freeway. I called the Ford dealership in roseville ca and they proceeded to tell me that they do not fix this issue on the weekends at all. This is truly inconvenient to the customers.

The contact stated that the instrument panel also became inoperable. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired.

When vehicle placed in reverse there is a delay 5-8 seconds before jerking hard into gear suddenly. Additionally the gear indicator lamp on the dash disappeared. Then a large yellow wrench appears. The vehicle was assemble at the Kansas facility and Ford 12C23-S1. Safety recall campaign fails to cover this, stating there is no recall listed for this vehicle VIN. This vehicle nearly struck a student when my wife (teacher) was attempting to place vehicle in reverse to leave her parking place, when there was a delay to go into gear she pressed the accelerator thinking it needed fuel. As the transmission abruptly jerked into gear at the high rpms the vehicle shot backwards out of control. This is a known safety issue and is not being addressed by Ford because of a number on a piece of paper. It appears I'm not the only one with this issue and ask for your assistance in helping prevent a tragedy. Your organization has addressed this in the past and it appears it needs to be addressed again.

When it gets cold the truck will go into reverse and not into drive. When trying to go to park, all the dash indicators do not light up and the check engine light comes on. After shutting off the truck and restarting it a few times, the P0705 and P1702 codes are on and I drive it home. The next day I take it in to the dealer and codes are gone and no history either. Nothing to be done as the codes I gave them are not on truck anymore. This has happened 4 times already to date within the last month.
