Bad transmission control module? Ford really does not owe you anything on a 7 year old truck.
I'd check on some Ford truck forums, I've seen a few topics there on "sudden downshift" problems, most of the time solution was computer updates and/or sensor issues. None of the ones posted had been mechanical problems.
PS: Google "Ford Recalls 285,000 Vehicles; Sudden First Gear Downshifts Reported", I'd post a direct link but spam filter blocks it. Apparently Ford issued a recall for this issue. Article states: "Ford Motor Company issued three recall notices today, but top billing goes to a sensor problem linked to the sudden downshifting (to first gear!) of certain vehicles."
