Update: printed out Ford’s customer satisfaction recall and headed to the dealer. Without looking at the truck, said I need a new torque converter. Needless to say, I left.

Will be going to another dealer tomorrow.

Looks like for the recall they just want to reflash the PCM - not replace the lead frame...

Check to see if you got the new recall today:

Wow, thanks. So the main issue with the lead frame will still be there but this recall will make it so it won’t downshift into 1st?

Thanks, this is disturbing that they know they break and their only fix is to flash the computer to prevent a wreck instead of actually fixing the issue. Best I remember they are on revision "D" for the lead frame meaning they have tried 3 times to fix the issue. Finally after the 4th time they've got it figured out but leave their customers with the bill. 2 out of the 3 F150s in my group of friends/family have had this issue and I'm doing mine this spring as preventative maintenance so I'm not left on the side of the road. I'm even a Ford fanboy and I'm disappointed in this.
