Slips out of drive

am concerned the 6r80 transmission has had problems with the lead frame.it has been acting up where causes not to go in traffic. Seen that my truck has numerous tsb & recalls for this trans.made at the Dearborn plant for f150 oct.11 2011 through feb 27 2012.see the multiple technical service bulletins for 6r80 16n02,19s07, nhsta 16v248000 & safety recall 16s19 powertrain control module programming. I believe this should also be also extended to cover my transmission.it is a safety issue also.

On April 25th, 2024 on Interstate 75 in Findlay, OH my truck had the back end lock up briefly and started to hop and fish tail. The engine RPM's went way up and the Service Light came on in the truck and the ignition was shut off (automatically and not by the key) truck had electrical power but engine was no longer running and the truck coasted to a stop on the side of the highway. I had the truck towed back to my house and I went to check for codes with my snap-on computer and no codes were present. I started the truck up and no issues were noticed. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop for further investigation. The rear differential was drained as was the transmission oil. Also the brakes were inspected. The mechanic didn't find anything that could explain the issue. He saw a rear brake pad that wasn't moving as freely as it should but explained that didn't sound like that's what the issue was. Nothing abnormal was noticed in the differential fluid or transmission fluid either. I know that Fords are having issues with the transmission shifting into first gear on its own and am wondering if that is the true issue. That is the only thing that explains what happened that day. The truck is currently running ok. I talked to the Ford dealership today and they said that they would have to confirm that that is what is happening, but it sounds highly likely that that is what happened and since the truck is currently not covered under the current recall the bill would be around $3400. I am filing this so that they and you are aware that it is possible that it is happening to the 2010 model years as well.

The vehicle was placed in 4 wheel drive (high range) and operated normally. Stopped the vehicle and placed it back into 2 wheel drive (indicated on dashboard as in 2 wheel drive). Placed transmission setting into "Park" but did not apply emergency brake. Turned off engine and exited vehicle. Vehicle proceeded to roll backwards down a slight hill until it crashed into tree (damage was limited to body panel). In summary, although the transmission was in park, it acted like it was in neutral. After several attempts of placing the vehicle in and out of 4 wheel drive, it did reestablish the Park mechanism. I have been able to recreate the situation with it continuing to fail.

DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 AND IT DOWNSHIFT DRIVING AT AROUND 35 TO 40 ON A CITY STREET. I STOPPED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. UPON TURNING IT BACK ON I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT PUT THE TRUCK IN SAFE MODE. ALSO THE MILEAGE WOULD FLASH ---- INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. I TOOK IT TO MIDWEST SUPERSTORE IN HUTCHINSON, KS AND THEY FOUND CODES P0720 & P0722 WHICH LEAD TO THE DIAGNOSIS BEING THE LEAD FRAME NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEADFRAME AND VALUE BODY ARE ONE PIECE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOGETHER. I FOUND THAT 2011-2013 FORD F150 HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL 19S07 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AND THEY WILL NOT HELP DUE TO NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CASE NUMBER [XXX].

THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPING HAS WHAT IS CALLED A SLIP BUMP STOP. UPON TAKING OFF IF NOT FULLY STOPPED (LIGHT CHANGES) THE TRUCK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE TRANSMISSION FORCES IT INTO A GEAR. WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT CHIRPS THE TIRES AND SLAMS THE TRANSMISSION HARD ALMOST LIKE A TRANSMISSION MOUNT IS BAD. MOUNTS ARE STILL GOOD. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED BY MECHANIC AND SAID IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. $160 WASTED. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT AFTER THE TRUCK WARMS UP. THE SLIP BUMP STOP WHICH JERKS THE TRUCK FORWARD WHEN STOPPING ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN GEAR. HOWEVER CAN PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STOP WITH NO PROBLEM. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FULL CAUSE IS. EVERY MECHANIC HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION BUT THAT GETS VERY COSTLY. THE SLIP BUMP STOP HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS USED AND HAS HIGH MILES SO I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BUT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR FORD AS THE TRUCKS LUNGE FORWARD WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTS, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR SMALL TIME, THE VEHICLE JERKS WITH A ROUGH SHIFT. ALSO WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS 55-70 THE VEHICLE BEINGS TO SHAKE MORE SO THE TRANSMISSION AREA AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND AS THIS OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE FAULTY PART WHEN THE TIME COMES. ADDITIONALLY IN THE PART YOU WHEREIN YOU ASKED FOR THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT KNOCKING AND VIBRATION EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY LOCKING THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST ROLLING OVER AND MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSTICALLY CHECKED AND INSPECTED AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE TO REPAIR. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY OPERATES IN THE SAME MANNER AS IT DID PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME FAILURE MODE THAT FORD FIXED UNDER RECALL 16S19. THIS DESIGN FLAW IS EXTREMELY LIFE THREATENING AND HAZARDOUS. I HAVE PARKED MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD 4 TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH THAT 1 INDIVIDUAL FROM FORD DID INDICATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE DESIGN FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE 16S19 RECALL, IT WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" OF VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED SO IT WILL NOT BE FIXED DUE TO A VIN NUMBER SELECTION METHODOLOGY THAT HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE. I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE NEW SOFTWARE MUST BE FLASHED ON THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DESIGN FLAW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE NEW SOFTWARE ON THE PCM THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR F150S THROUGH YEARS 2011 - 2013 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2010 F150S AND FORD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO ANY TECHNICAL REPS TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIANS CANNOT DETERMINE SYSTEM SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY EITHER AND ARE EXTREMELY RISK ADVERSE TO DOING ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY FORD CONSIDERING THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROBLEM.

IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT TIMES. OCCASIONALLY IT DOWNSHIFTS AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN FAST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALTOGETHER INTO NEUTRAL, THEN THE ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. BOTH TIMES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES BACK INTO GEAR, IT CREATES A LARGE THUMP SOUND AND THE TRUCK JUMPS, OCCASIONALLY SPINNING MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AT LEAST 10 TO 15 TIMES PER MONTH.

SINGLE OWNER 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH 58,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY (I-10 IN PHX) AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK LURCHED AS IF I HAD JUST DRIVEN THROUGH A DEEP PUDDLE. A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SKIDDING UNCONTROLLABLY; THERE WERE 3 TO 4 DISTINCT SKIDS LASTING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 SECONDS AT A TIME AS I RECALL. LUCKILY FOR ME THE SEMI-DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND NOTICED ME SKIDDING TO A HALT DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF BREAK LIGHTS. HE SWERVED AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER THE SEMI PASSED I BEGAN TO LIMP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AT THIS POINT, AND I RECALL A FEW MORE JERKY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS WHILE PULLING OVER. BY THE TIME MY TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD WRENCH INDICATOR WAS ON AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE HAD NO EFFECT. THE TRUCK HAD DISCONNECTED THE THROTTLE SENSOR INPUT FROM THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER WEIGHING MY OPTIONS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. UPON DOING SO THE WRENCH INDICATOR WAS GONE, AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK (CAUTIOUSLY AND ON HIGH ALERT) ANOTHER 1,500 MILES AND EVERYTHING HAS PERFORMED NOMINALLY. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS ONE, NOR HAVE I NOTICED ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SIMILAR SPEEDS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BOTH DRY AND VERY SMOOTH AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS LOW 80S AT THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS AND AFTER A FULL DIAGNOSIS THEY HAVE NO CLEAR EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL MALFUNCTION.

EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AS BACK IN FEB 2015 WHERE THEY HAVE TO BRING THE TRANSMISSION DOWN AND RE-SEAL IT IN ADDITION TO THE NEW REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SLEEVE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD AND ITS TECHS WHOM ARE AWARE OF THE TSB 14-0069 (ATTACHED) *A KNOWN ISSUE PRIOR TO 2014* DID NOT "REPLACE REPAIR" THIS PART BACK ON FEB 2015 SO THAT THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT FIND HIMSELF IN THIS SITUATION WITH A $721.04 REPAIR BILL.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I APPLIED BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I NOTICED A ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED A WRECKER SERVICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP.

AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN THE GEAR SELECTED. APPLYING GAS DURING THE "PAUSE SHIFT" PERIOD RESULTED IN A RAPID AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION WHEN THE SHIFT OCCURRED AND THIS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT.

FORD F150 4.6LT STX LOST ALL POWER AT 45MPH. LIMPED THE TRUCK HOME WITH THE FEAR OF GETTING RUN OVER. TRUCK IS LESS THEN 5YRS OLD WITH 63K MILES ON IT. IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING I'M SURE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AS I HAD TO TAKE ACTION TO KEEP FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR A STALLING ISSUE. TO ME IT FELT AS IF THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS STAYING LOCKED UP STALLING THE ENGINE. BOTH DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE NEW IN 2010. NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED 3K MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY FORD WILL NOT DO A THING TO HELP BUT OFFER A LITTLE MONEY TOWARDS A 4600$ REPAIR. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS NOT A TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 15YRS AND A TECHLINE ADVISER FOR ANOTHER CAR COMPANY FOR OVER 7 I MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON. FORD WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND RECTIFY THIS ISSUE AND IS PASSING ON THIS FAILURE TO ME.

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON I10 IN ARIZONA WHEN MY TRUCK DECIDED TO DOWN SHIFT/LIMP MODE AT 75 MPH. THE RESULT WAS A NICE LONG SLIDE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. OF COURSE THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO SPEED THE TRUCK UP AND CONTINUED ACCELERATING UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT AND THEY ASKED ME TO START IT AGAIN. IT STARTED FINE AND DID NOT SHOW ANY ERRORS ON THE DISPLAY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME THOUGH AT A REDUCED SPEED AND NOT USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. I FIND THAT FORD WOULD SUPPLY A VEHICLE WITH A LIMP MODE THAT WOULD SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO 2ND GEAR LIMP MODE AT ANY SPEED AND NOT SHUT OFF THE CRUISE AT THE SAME TIME. SEEMS TO ME THE VEHICLE SHOULD DISENGAGE THE CRUISE AND SLOW THE VEHICLE WHEN AT SPEED AND NOT THE UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFT THAT SEEMS TO RESULT FROM ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IF I HAD BEEN TOWING MY CAR TRAILER OR TRAVEL TRAILER THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. BE NICE TO FIND OUT WHAT FORD SAYS WHEN I FINALLY GET MY TRUCK BACK. *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN A LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE REAR END TO START HOPPING AND SLIDING LEFT. I REGAINED CONTROL AND PUT THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL WHICH ALLOWED ME TO STEER PAST A VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND AN 18 WHEELER WAS ON HIS BRAKES AND WAS APPARENTLY GOING TO PASS CLOSE OR CRASH INTO MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I WAS MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH AND I DECIDED TO GO THROUGH THE DITCH AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT THROTTLE UP. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO THROTTLE UP WHICH ALSO FAILED. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO LOOK FOR DAMAGE. AMAZINGLY NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED. AT THIS TIME I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND EVERYTHING WORKED AS IF NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AT A SLOW SPEED STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER AND REPORTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE SERVICE MANAGER RECOVERED A CODE WHICH HAD BEEN STORED WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. WHEN THE CODE WAS INVESTIGATED THE INSTRUCTIONS DIRECTED THE TECHNICIANS TO REPLACE THE MEGATRONICS VALVE BODY. BEFORE A REPLACEMENT PART COULD BE ORDERED THE SERVICE MANAGER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MANUFACTURERS TRANSMISSION FACTORY AND WAS DIRECTED NOT TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART AND THAT THE FACTORY WOULD SEND THE REPLACEMENT PART AND TO SEND THE DEFECTIVE PART BACK TO THE FACTORY AS SOON AS IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. I WAS NEARLY KILLED DUE TO A FAULTY PART IN A TRANSMISSION AND CAN ONLY WONDER WHO MAY HAVE LOST THEIR LIFE IN THE SAME SITUATION.

IN A BRIEF SUMMARY, GOING IN TO WORK EARLY (5AM) POTENTIALLY SAVED ME FROM HAVING A WRECK TO DUE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, MY TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (MECHANIC WRENCH ICON APPEARED) AND BEGAN TO INCORRECTLY REGULATE MY RPMS. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BECOME NEARLY STRANDED AS I WAS MOVING NO FASTER THAN 10MPH IN A 50MPH ZONE. I WAS LUCKILY ONLY 1/8TH OF A MILE FROM WORK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE STREET. UPON LEAVING WORK, MY TRUCK WAS ACTING FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS (NOT EVEN THE MECHANIC WRENCH). I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS SUPPLIER TO HAVE A FREE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. NO CODES WERE SAVED OR SHOWED UP. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME, IT AGAIN ACTED UP AND ENTERED A LIMP MODE. THIS TIME BOTH "CHECK ENGINE" AND "MECHANIC WRENCH" LIGHTS WERE ON. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. I AM QUOTED $881 TO PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT OF A ~$150 PART...SINCE IT IS A 2010, IT IS OUT OF THE 3YR/36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER AND FORD DOESN'T CONSIDER THE THROTTLE BODY PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY (FORD WILL COVER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THOUGH, A CHUNK OF PLASTIC THAT WON'T BREAK)... FORD HAS APPARENTLY HAD PROBLEMS W/ THEIR DRIVE-BY-WIRE THROTTLE BODIES, AS SEEN THROUGH THEIR "CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03" RECALL. THIS INCIDENT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS I HAVE TAKEN PROPER CARE OF MY TRUCK (THAT HAS 30,400 MILES) AND I AM STRANDED IN A ROAD, OFTEN TRAVELED BY 18 WHEELERS, GOING 10MPH.

NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. AFTER COMING HOME FROM A WEEK OF BUSINESS TRAVEL, MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TO INFORM ME THAT MY 2010 F150 FX4 WITH THE 5.4 V8 AND 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER CHECKING UNDER THE TRUCK I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION OIL DIP STICK SO I COULD CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL. TO MY SURPRISE, THERE IS NO TRANSMISSION OIL DIP STICK. AFTER LOOKING THRU THE OWNER'S MANUAL, IT STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS A SEALED TRANSMISSION AND DOESN'T NEED ANY OIL EXCEPT IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. WELL OBVIOUSLY IF THERE IS A LEAK, THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ADD FLUID TO PREVENT AN FAILURE ISSUE. I THEN CONTACT A DEALER NEAR MY GEORGIA HOME AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SEAL LEAK AND IT WOULD COST $600.00 TO REPAIR. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. AFTER LOOKING THRU THE INTERNET, I FOUND THE FORD TSB 11-3-25. FROM MY SEARCH, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION COULD LEAK UNTIL IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH FLUID TO MAKE IT WORK PROPERLY, THUS CAUSING DRIVABILITY ISSUES. I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A TSB. THEREFORE, I'M WRITING YOU THIS EMAIL TO ADVISE YOU OF THIS ISSUE INCASE YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF IT. *TR

FOR AWHILE, THERE WAS NO NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, THE NOISE HAD RETURNED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALER PROVIDED HIM WITH THE WRONG TYPE OF LUBRICANT AND THE DEALER REASSURED HIM THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER, TWO MONTHS LATER, THE NOISE HAD RETURNED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN, WHERE THEY CHOSE TO LUBRICATE THE TAILGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WERE CORRECTED, SUCH AS THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK, THE TRANSMISSION SLIP YOKE, A LOOSE FUEL DOOR AND A RATTLING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL.

WHILE DECELERATING 2010 FORD F150 STALLED (4.6L V-8). VEHICLE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL, THEN STALLED EACH TIME VEHICLE WAS PUT IN GEAR. INCREASED RPMS IN NEUTRAL AND PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DROVE TO SAFE AREA, VEHICLE STALLED. CLEANED MASS AIR FLOW AND MADE IT HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER IS NOT DISPLAYING A CODE THAT THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FIXED. CURRENTLY I REFUSE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER AND LIABILITY TO ANY DRIVING INSIDE IT, OR NEAR IT. *TR

AT APX 10,00 MILES ON MY 2010 F150 I STARTED GETTING A CLUNK/BUMP IN THE DRIVELINE WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING. SOMETIMES IT WAS WORSE WHEN TURNING. I AM A 20 YEAR VETERAN MECHANIC WITH PRIOR FORD DEALER EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BY THE LOCAL SERVICING FORD DEALER VANBORTEL FORD. IT HAS BEEN IN MANY MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT. IN THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE IT HAS HAD AN ENGINE REPLACED AT 20,00 THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT 25,000 THE DRIVESHAFT AT APX 35,000 THE REAR SPRINGS AT 37,000 AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. IT IS IN NOW ON 12/26/2012 FOR A TRANS LEAK, POOR ENGINE/TRANS PERFORMANCE AND REDUCED ECONOMY FROM REFLASHING THE TRANS SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS THE SAME CLUNK/BUMP WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE UNKNOWN DEFECT CAUSING CLUNK/BUMP COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE BY LOCKING UP OR FAILING AT SPEED. *TR

AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY SMELL. LAST WEEKEND MY KIDS WERE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICED WATER POOLED ON THE CENTER SEATBELT FRAME. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW WAS PARTIALLY OPENED, BUT IT WASN'T. BESIDES IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR WHERE THE WATER WAS POOLING. THEN WE NOTICED IN BOTH CORNERS OF THE HEADLINER DARK WATER STAINS. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT IS THE MOLDING THAT EXTENDS ABOUT 18 INCHES UP THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I'M THINKING IT WASN'T PROPERLY SEALED ON THE ROOF. I AM SURE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE DAY ONE,BUT WITH THE DROUGHT HERE IN HOUSTON FOR THE LAST YEAR I AM JUST NOW NOTICING SINCE IT RAINS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. FORD IS SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. EXCUSE ME BUT WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED WARRANTY WORK WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE TRUCK. FIRST TIME FORD OWNER BUT NEVER AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EXPLAIN ALL THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 81 IN VIRGINIA ON 8/13/2011. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE STAUNTON, VA AREA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHERE THE REAR WHEELS ON MY 2010 F-150 IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND WITH THE HELP OF FORD TECHS, THEY FEEL THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS DRY AND I GAINED CONTROL AND MOVED THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD, HOWEVER MY CONCERN IS IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEY ARE 100% SURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, AND EVEN IF IT IS, HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE...WITH A WORSE OUTCOME. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T GET INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN, AND FORD SEEMS TO FEEL THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE, BUT I SEE NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS. SHOULD FORD BE DOING MORE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLES, OR SHOULD I JUST FIND ANOTHER TRUCK THAT IS SAFER? *KB
