While in motion my truck suddenly downshifted, the speedometer went to zero and the wrench light came on. This happened a couple different times over the weekend and this morning the transmission downshifted into third gear and wouldn't switch up or down. When researching the issue it appears to be similar it the same as 19n01 lead frame issue but my truck isn't part of that recall according to ford.
