“Seems to be the same issue with the 2011 to 2013 6r80 transmissions that a previous recall dealt with. While driving the expidition downshifted by itself causing to go off the road and almost being rear ended. My vehicle is made at the same plant and the recall goes to vehicles manufactured to 4/13 mine was 8/13. Which makes it a new model year 2014. The previous recall was 2011 to 12. The later added 2013 models. They need to look into adding 2014 or later to this list since it is happening to this model as well. I do not feel safe driving my Expedition. …”
