2011 FORD F-150 Power Train Problems

The first indication of problems came when I tried to put the truck in gear and I noticed that the reverse light didn't come on and it wouldn't engage into the gear then as I was traveling down a three-lane highway in the middle lane the car started jerking and like it didn't want to go and then I got to a red light and the truck would not move so I was stuck in the central lane but after engaging the gear several times I managed to get the vehicle into a gas station parking lot where I call the dealership after finding out that I had the trouble code that was referred in the recall and the vehicle was towed to Duval I mean it was told to Hogan forward on Atlantic boulevard .where it's now under inspection.

P072200-68, CMDTC, Output Shaft Sensor Circuit No Signal. There has reportedly been multiple recalls for the 2011 Ford F-150's 6-speed automatic transmission related to an issue with the molded lead frame that can cause an unexpected downshift into first gear.

TRUCK HAS INTERMITTENT OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO ABRUPLTY DOWNSHIFT AND LOCK REAR END UP. FORD IS AWARE ACVORDING TO FORD TSB 13-6-8. MOLDED LEAD FRAME NEEDS REPLACED. I GAVE OBD CODES P0720 AND P0722 INDICATING THIS FOR WANTS 2000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX A KNOWN REPAIR. CALLED FMC IN DEARBORN...PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME ITS MY PROBLEM.

Any time I’ll driving my truck down hill the transmission drops into 1st gear while traveling 65 miles per hour almost causing an accident every time this happens

Going down the highway at 60mph. Car went from 6th gear to 1st gear and tires locked up and I started sliding. I could smell the tires burning. I threw it into neutral and the tires unlocked. I dropped back down to 40 mph and went back into drive. No issue after.

I was driving in the morning car was started to lag on accelerating and shifting gears slightly. My dashboard and gps system flickered on and off when this happened. The truck putted as well. On my way home the car had trouble accelerating and dropped from 5th gear all the way to first causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. It continued hard shifting and loss all acceleration. It continued flickering everytime it would sputter and slip gears, Gps and dashboard would flicker. They gears were going haywire. I could not accelerate with the pedal all the way to the floor, and was hard to turn steering wheel. Almost like the Truck was coasting. When we took it to the mechanic they stated it was a transmission range switch which is an issue and many F150's of my year, make and model. My vehicle was not listed as a recalled vehicle yet has the same issue as the other recalled ones. Total repairs are going to cost around $2000. I have not driven my vehicle since the incident and I am frightened after almost losing control from the hard shifting. Prior to this the vehicle ran great. It was an out of nowhere issue. the truck has been maintained well, with all oil changes, and regular maintenece. there is less the 96,000 mile son the truck as well.

Hard downshifts from 5 to 4. At low speeds, like parking lots it shifts hard from 1 to 2. At freeway speeds while attempting to pass instead of dropping a gear to passs it downshifts to 1st, rpm’s shoot up and it results in having to pull off stop and place in park. Once in park back to D and able to take off. At any speed from 30 mph or more there is a sort of “tap of brakes” feeling every .15 of a mile.

Entering the highway, the transmission shifted into 1st, the gauges blanked out and a service light came on. Upon taking it in for inspection, FORD compliant 19N01 already existed but had limited mileage/date that has now expired. The problem and solution is the same found under 19N01

Speedometer stopped working and automatic transmission would not shift out of first gear without manually shifting. Transmission then would not come out of third gear.

I own a 2011 Ford F-150. While driving at highway speed, the transmission unintendedly downshifted to first gear, causing the vehicle to lose motive power. This can, by Fords admission, cause accidents and Injury. The check engine warning light and Wrench Symbol was illuminated. Sometimes it is able to restart and reset sometimes not. This problem has occurred several times while driving. I took it to my normal mechanic, where it was diagnosed with an output shaft speed sensor failure. He said that the transmission lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. I spoke to Ford customer service and they refuse to fix it and said my VIN was not included. See NHTSA Safety Recall Report 16V-248

When driving on the interstate with the normal flow of traffic at 55mph, the vehicle abruptly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing the the vehicle to lock up an nearly caused an accident. This was followed by a a mechanic warning light and the speedometer to lock out and no longer work. Once pulled over, the vehicle was powered down. When the vehicle was turned back on operation returned in a limp state.

What is happening is a KNOWN issue that effects Ford F-150's from 2011-2013 Models with the 6-Speed transmissions. The issue is with the Molded Lead Frames. The fault causes hard downshifts out of now where. I was driving on a highway, at highway speeds, when the truck downshifted to 1st Gear. Incredibly unsafe, jolted the truck to an immediately forced reduced speed, luckily no one was behind me. Ford is aware of this, but is not correcting affected vehicles. My vehicle is a 2011 F-150, I tried to have it fixed while it was still under the "extended coverage" but Ford denied it due to it only being a "possible malfunction" at the time. Roughly 2 years later, the malfunction & defect is now on full force, rendering the truck unsafe to drive due to sudden down shifts at random intervals, multiple times a day while driving, yet now it is "passed the coverage." That is unacceptable, and is safety issue for the many of these generation models of F-150's that are still out driving.

The transmission unexpectedly downshift's to 1st gear, instrument gauges go dark, wheels have locked up, motor then lacks power. The issues have been going on for a while and recently had to stop on the side of the road 5 times in the 20 mile trip home from work. 2011 F-150 is unsafe to drive. Called Ford Customer Service on July 2, 2025. Case Number [XXX]. Was informed a prior Recall 16S19 addressing these issues was performed in 2016. A second recall 19S07 was issued for the same reasons. The service rep said this vin number is not listed; apparently it does not cover this vehicle. Ford customer service rep suggested filing a complaint with NHTSA.gov as this has been an ongoing safety issue. Unless NHTSA is made aware of an issue can it be addressed or in this case readdressed because the repairs by Ford has failed as a long term solution.

As i was driving around 45 mph this Sunday, my 2011 f150 suddenly shifted hard down to first gear. i thought someone hit me from behind at first, i don't think i have ever been so scared in a vehicle in my life! this truck has been so good to my family otherwise. Anyway, i started researching online and found there was a recall for this but has ended. I called Ford thinking maybe they would stand behind a problem that was a known ford issue. whether its been 10 years or 20. this is my 7th f150. i have dealt with all there issues in the past. From blown out sparkplugs in the 4.6 to the leaking intake manifold to cam phasers. you may ask why i keep buying them, but its because i love ford. Is there anything you can do for me? I'm scared i could kill myself or someone. This is a dangerous problem and i don't see how this recall could have ever had a deadline on it.

Driving 40mph the truck down shifted to 1st gear

Transmission indicator lights are not functioning and vehicle doesn’t go into gear properly. I read there was a recall on certain 2011 F150s for this problem but mine does not appear to be included. I can’t tell what gear my vehicle is in now so it is obviously dangerous to drive.

At highway speeds speedometer started occasionally dropping to zero while actually going 55-65 mph. Then it became quite frequent AND the truck started spontaneous downshifting causing the rear wheels to break loose and the rear of truck to fishtail. It was terrifying.

On or about March 26 2025 while operating this truck at about 35 MPH the 6 speed transmission shifted to first gear causing the tires to chirp the vehicle to a near stop and red line the engine. This is a known defect that Ford supposedly fixed years ago but apparently was not a proper fix. The vehicle was taken to Medford Ford, Medford NJ on 3/31/2025 where the dealer said transmission should be replaced my expense for $8500 plus tax and the cost of estimate of approximately $202.63. They did not offer an option to repair an otherwise perfectly functioning transmission. This makes me feel like a very unsafe approach. My experience caused such an abrupt stop that under different circumstances there could have been a serious accident.

Driving normal speed and normal RPM when all a sudden the RPM's will go up double than what it was and the speedometer drops to 0, It feels like truck in down shifting , but the RPM's stay high. No engine light comes on, no other warning. This has happen on several ocassions

While driving on highway the transmission will bang really hard when shifting upshifting and downshifting while vehicle is in motion. This is a safety concern. I seen that there is over a million Ford vehicles recalled over this same problem. I need my vehicle put on this recall list immediately. This is an emergency and I will be keeping copies of all documents I sent and receive for further measures. Thank you for your time and please contact me back as soon as possible.

I’ve had this specific issue happened a few times over the last year. Basically, my truck will get stuck in first gear, a wrench will pop up on the dashboard, and my odometer will go blank. Usually, my truck will stay in first gear until I put it in park and shut off the truck (to kind of “reset it”) and then crank it back up. Sometimes it takes multiple cycles of this. One time, I got stuck in third gear and had to use manual to shift it down to first gear (while driving), and then do the steps previously mentioned to “reset it”. Because of this, my truck has thrown a P0720 code. After research, it seems like the problem is with the molded lead frame. I have contacted multiple Ford dealerships, and they are definitely aware of the issue because each time they tell me that this issue used to be covered under warranty. The problem is, every dealership has said that this warranty expired some time ago (before I own the truck and before this started happening). Now they are saying the only way to prevent it is to spend $1600 for them to fix it. I don’t have $1600 to drop on a safety issue that is beyond my control. Especially since Ford knows about it. I have a video showing the last time it happened. I really hope this gets fixed because I do not want to be driving 60 miles an hour on the highway and suddenly drop into first gear.

On my.2011 ford f150 xlt the electrical power steering asssist failed completely while driving in traffic... It was incredibly hard to maintain control of the vehicle ... I had to use all my strength to get the wheel to turn what so ever. It was u credibly lucky that I didn't cause an accident because it made me steer into oncoming traffic and would.not let the vehicle.tur. the opposite direction. ..the warning light said service advance Trac and then said power steering assist failure.

Transmission downshifted to 1st gear causing the rear wheel to lock momentarily while driving 40mph on the highway and then shifted back to 5th gear. Transmission will occasionally stay on 3rd or 5th gear when at a complete stop. Dealership refuses to remedy recall issue for my truck. I have complained multiple times.

While operating vehicle at highway speeds the speedometer suddenly drops to zero and the transmission downshifts to first gear without warning. Apparently a failure of the transmission speed sensor. (?) A driver unaware of this issue that continues to drive results in excessive heat and pressure developing in the differential..A recall has been issued by NHTSA but Ford and the local dealer refused to address the problem because my VIN was not included in the recall.

I was driving and my truck went into a limp mode. I pulled to the side of the road to try and figure out the problem but I had no clue. I shut off my truck and started it back up and everything was normal. When I started driving back on the road again about a mile from where I pulled over at I was going about 40mph and all of a sudden my truck rear tires locked up and I noticed my gear shifted to 1st then went back to 6th gear.

Ford has a "safety compliance" which has an expiration date of 10 years or 150,000 whichever was first. How is that even allowed? A major issue with the transmission range sensor which doesn't show a driver what gear there in...the lights all disappear so driver doesn't know if there in P, R, D, N, etc...its extremely dangerous! It also forces my truck to go into limp mode which is very dangerous especially when driving down a highway at 55. The truck was "reprogrammed" a few years back to stop the sudden downshift issue from occurring but it didn't eliminate that problem. Do you know how scary it is to be driving down the highway at 55-60 WITH YOUR TODDLER IN THE BACK...and then your truck suddenly on its own shifts down to 1st gear and there's nothing driver csn do but hope they don't hit or get hit by another vehicle?? These are just a few major issues I've had with the truck since buying it 5 years ago. I've barely drove rhe thing since the sudden downshift occurred and could have killed my son and I. The back window quit working. The transmission seems to have alot of issues and I was told because I am past 10 years..yet still under the 150,000 miles id have to pay full price for the backordered part through Ford only which was quoted at $470.00 and that doesn't include any labor. Ford is letting people down majorly. I wish I never bought the truck because it was so exciting to finally have a nice vehicle only to be let down in numerous areas. I drive my 1989 suburban more than my truck due to safety issues and because I am not going to spend thousands on it for an issue that they know has been a major problem for so many customers but yet it wasnt ever an official recall. Total BS!! I can't even believe they can get away with such issues. It's appalling and I'm beyond disappointed with my basically useless truck.

Transmission range sensor failure. I do not remember ever receiving a recall letter after I purchased the truck used. Truck will no longer start or show what range it is in.

A recall was issued for an intermittent failure of the transmission speed sensor (OSS), campaign 16S19. I took the truck to a Ford Dealership, Mike Reichenbach Ford, in Florence SC. The technician reprogrammed the PCM. This did not resolve the issue and the truck continues to downshift or not shift at all. I spoke with the dealership and with the Ford Motor Company. I believe this truck was taken to a dealership more than once without the issue being resolved. I am respectfully request Ford make good on the safety recall of a known issue.

Purchased TRUCK at Gus Machado of Kendal Mia Fl. Informed dealership of downshifting transmission issues, I was told "there's No recall on my vehicle ", its normal that new truck has as breaking in period.

I researched ford forums and found that several ford owners also have similar Transmission Issues and FORD has recalls on Transmission, ONLY MY VIN ISN'T ON recall R/O [XXX]- 93,868 miles 05/28/19 Drove to Bill Jarrett FOR RECALL 19N01, In less than 15 minutes truck was returned INFORMED COMPUTER had to be reprogrammed. 11/19 I returned to Miami for surgery &treatment at the Miami VA. Truck continued to downshift, so I went into Gus dealership and they explained the recall fix. I was told there are no recall on transmission and eventually Transmission would streamline. AT 156,000 miles- Since reprograming truck has been double downshifting/bucking in first gear, which I have been stating to Ford dealership since purchase IS A SAFETY CONCERN. To date NO LIGHTS ON DASH DISPLAYS OF Transmission, but BUCKING/DOWNSHIFTING CONTINUES (A SAFTY CONCERN). 05/17/24, I called Ford and stated my concerns.

This vehicle was repaired under a previous recall related to the transmission downshifting unexpectedly while driving. A year later, the vehicle is doing the same thing which leads me to question: was the repair done at all? OR was the repair done with defect parts? OR was the actual cause of the defect not actually determined? Either way, I believe this is a continued problem from a previous recall that was never properly dealt with.

There is an active recall for my specific year/make/model - yet I'm being told it doesn't apply to my vehicle - but my vehicle is absolutely having the exact issue described in the recall. How do I get this resolved? The issue is that my vehicle will unexpectedly downshift, (I believe into first gear, based on the RPM's that I get stuck at) almost always while I am driving at freeway speeds. When this happens, an orange wrench appears in my dashboard warning indicator for a brief moment, then I lose all gauges - my digital displays literally just turn to blank dashes as I lose power and the ability to accelerate. My gauges all drop to as if the vehicle isn't even on, my speedometer displays "--" and my RPM's remain at approximately 1500 regardless of whether I try to accelerate or decelerate. If I decelerate, because I'm in the improper gear for the speed I'm traveling - I will not be able to accelerate. The only way for me to resolve the issue is to try and find somewhere to safely pull over, put the vehicle in park, turn the engine off, wait a few moments and then restart the engine. This happens without warning and at random. Sometimes multiple times in a day, sometimes not at all for a couple of weeks. I don't understand how my vehicle is exempt from the recall. This has been ongoing for several months now. Thank you for your consideration

My truck is doing exactly what the recall on all the others. Check engine light on for input shaft speed sensor. Speed odometer quit working then engine light came on for speed sensor. Now when you drive on highway it will be fine then all of a sudden throw a wrench light and truck goes into limp mode and barely moves. You stop turn it off it resets but still isn’t right it doesn’t seem to shift at proper times seems to be shifting to often.

The truck is not shifting properly it fails to downshift or will downshift on its own. I have almost had an accident due to this happening and did the update on the recall but it hasn't helped.

Vehicle shifted into 1st gear on its own will driving which almost caused my son to wreck, took the vehicle to the Ford dealership as we could not get it back out of 1st gear. It had to be towed to the dealership to have repairs made which are the same repairs that are listed under a recall just issued on several 2014 F150 truck. We had to pay for these repairs totaling $1129.92 back on January 12, 2024. I contacted the dealership about this and they said we would not be refunded because our truck is not under the recall however there was a recall for 2011 F150 trucks for this same issue back in 2016 which we were not a part of also. I feel that this needs to be looked at a little more closely and the recall be expanded further to more later model trucks. My son could have been seriously injured or killed for a problem that could have been fixed back in 2016. I have tried to attach copy of repair receipt from dealership but it would not allow me to upload it

[XXX] [XXX] Cedar Rapids IA 52402 April 27 2024 [XXX] PHONE: [XXX] Dear NHTSA I have a 2011 Ford F150 5.0 with a 6 speed transmission and within the last few weeks I have had serious transmission issues that have become so bad it is not safe to drive. At any time the transmission will down shift on its own causing my speed to be reduced dramatically and usually becomes stuck in third gear and lose power. When I come to a stop light it will lung forward until I can get it out of third gear into neutral also some times when I pull out from a stop light while making a left turn it will change gears and the power will drop making it very dangerous to make a left turn in oncoming traffic. I researched the internet trying to find what would cause this and it didn’t take long for hundreds of articles to pop up. Many articles said there was a recall in (2019) for the 2011s with a 6 speed transmission made in Dearborn Michigan and that would be mine. I called the Ford Motor Company last week and explained the issue I was having and gave them my VIN [XXX] . They agreed there had been issues with that transmission but my VIN didn’t match any recalls, they did say they have a review board that looks at these problems along with NHTSA and may cover the cost to fix it so I should save my receipts. I then went to my local Ford Dealer and gave them the VIN they said Ford had an extended warranty for that transmission but now it is outdated? I did more research and found the following (Ford is issuing a safety recall on select 2011-13 Ford F-150 vehicles with 6-speed automatic transmission that may experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module, potentially resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear.

There were no warning lights or anything to let me know it would happen. After it downshifted, the wrench popped up on the dash, my speedometer went to 0, and my odometer read blank. Forcing me to pull over, restart the truck, in order to get it out of limp mode to be able to make it home. I took my truck to Ford of Valencia California where they inspected the truck and confirmed it was the lead frame. The issue was that at the time the part was on an 8 month back order so my only option was to replace the entire Valve body instead of only the lead frame. My truck was no longer under the recall and I was forced to pay for this out of pocket less than a month of purchasing the truck from a used dealership. My truck was only inspected by Ford of Valencia and no other agencies. Since this truck was my only form on transportation, I could not wait the 8 months for the lead frame to come in and had to pay out of pocket for the new valve body.

Was traveling down highway pulled into a gas station to get gas. Left gas station headed down road. Went to go pass a car when truck started to shift down a gear to pass it shifted all the way to 1st gear at 55 mph. It locked back wheels up for a moment but then released. Check engine light come on and I still on. Haven't drove truck but a few times since that happen. The truck is doing the same thing the ford recall of 2019. So I took it to ford where they diagnosed that it needed a new transmission and it had nothing to do with the recall. So it just been mainly seating in the yard.

Over the last few months on at least 15 occasions my transmission has tried to downshift into 1st gear while traveling highway speeds (55-65). Causing the tires lock up but I have always caught it and shifted into neutral to not cause any problems. After researching it sounds like this is a VERY COMMON issue that apparently hasn't been resolved with Fords TSB and software reflash. Also, while this happens my speedometer goes to zero and a wrench screen come up on the instrument panel for a split second.

The transmission downshifts un-expectantly intermittently. The transmission also downshifts on the highway and locks up the wheels. The dealership indicated the time to have the repair made pursuant to the recall has expired. This appears to be a Ford F-150 eco Transmission problem as I've communicated with others online who have the same issues.

My truck when accelerating, it pulls and shifts hard. Also the speedometer sometimes does not work right and the truck loses power..

Driving down the highway my truck will downshift for no reason. Sometimes a big bang will be felt in the rear end & the big wrench symbol will appear & all other controls don't work. There is a recall for this 16S19 & 19S07. I took my truck to the Yreka Ford dealership & was told it needed the molded lead frame replaced but the recall has ended. Still a definite safety issue but it's not covered? How can a safety recall expire but issue is still a safety issue. Still happening & it's very scary when it does. Part is on backorder!! I can't locate my paperwork from Yreka Ford in Yreka, CA.

I have a 2011 Ford F150 that I bought brand new from Capitol Ford Wilmington NC. This truck had a recall in 2020 that involved violent downshifting of transmission while at highway speeds. I took it for recall servicing by Capitol Ford Wilmington NC. I trusted them to repair this vehicle. They simply reprogrammed the LEAD FRAME inside the transmission. They said that would take care of the problem. See attached service ticket. I have only driven this vehicle in my local area as it only has 97k original miles on it. Recently I tried to drive it on a trip at highway speeds. Suddenly without warning the transmission shifted into low gear at highway speed with engine light coming on. We narrowly averted being killed. This vehicle has shifted in an odd manner for a long time. I just thought it was Fords design that did this. I took it to my local shop they immediately diagnosed the transmission LEAD FRAME as faulty. Ford should have replaced this when they had it in 2020. They said they didn't because the engine light wasn't on. Well, it's not on now either. I think this has been a problem inside the transmission for a long time. And Ford knew it. The Ford reps I contacted told me that I'm out of the extended recall period of 10 years for this problem. They also claim I was sent further recall requests for this in 2021. I received NO SUCH RECALL REQUESTS. They should have fixed this when they had it for the recall in 2020 well within the extended warranty recall period. Now not only did it try to kill us but I'm stuck fixing something Ford should have corrected. Please help us. Very disingenuous on Fords Part.

My truck transmission suddenly shifted down to first gear and would not shift back out. fortunately I was travelling only about 30 mph. Eventually it shifted into 3rd gear and locked into "limp mode". Factory told me they will not honor their recall on this since my truck is more than 10 years old. This is a serious safety issue especially if travelling above 60 mph and in heavy traffic. Consumers need better safety responsibility from Ford on these serious safety design flaws.

This vehicle has an automatic transmission. It will not shift out of first gear in the drive setting and the speedometer registers 0 mph when moving in first gear. If I shift to the manual setting, I can shift up. I did not notice if the speedometer registered my speed at that point.

Lead frame and output speed sensor are going out, if not out already. It’s ridiculous.

Vehicle shifts into 1st gear while truck is moving and will not shift tkk ok any other gears. Known issue at dealership, but says it’s out of warranty. If less than 10 years or 150000 miles, they had a recall providing parts and labor. If a vehicle going 60 mph downshifted into 1st gear, it’s a safety issue and in my opinion should not have a time/mileage limitations. Thank you

A Recall Repair (19S07) was performed on 4/24/2023 at which time the truck had 161711 miles. Prior to the Recall Repair I had not experienced any issues at all. I had only brought the truck into Ford Service for a different repair at which time they took care of the Recall (19S07). On 7/9/2023 the truck would not start (No Crank/No Start) A Tow Truck Service was called at which time confirming that the battery was in good condition, however at the time he came, the truck was able to start. Later that week, we experienced this strange issue again (intermittent no crank) and the truck was driven into a local service center where no service codes were showing because the truck was in working condition. Out of concern for the safety of the future reliability of this intermittent starting, the mechanic suggested we consider changing the batter cables, and felt considering the age of the truck that we could consider changing the starter. With concern, I decided to move forward with those repairs. Two days after the new battery cables and a new starter was placed, the truck once again would not start. I had the truck towed back to this mechanic where he was then able to confirm it was an issue with the Transmission Lead Frames communication and that the truck thinks it is in park. I then called the Ford Service Department where the Transmission Lead Frame Recall was performed to report the issue and was told that indeed the recall repair/or issues with the recall could be the issue, so I had the truck towed back to them where they confirmed the issue and reported that this issues were considered part of the recall issue but now that my truck was out of the mileage warranty, I would have to pay for the repairs. The truck had 161711 miles when the original recall was performed. It had 167174 miles when the new repairs were done. There should be a warranty on the recall repair work performed. I have already paid for the repairs. Can you help me?

This is a follow up to compaint#11385696. Ford failed to properly check and repair the transmission problem associated with recall#19V-075. They have acknowledged that the technician did not properly service my truck when I took it to them in December 2020. ( see attached March 2023 letter). At that time the truck was under an extended warranty they issued in May 2019. The intermittent problem again caused my truck to experience another sudden downshift in early 2022. This occurred fortunately at a low speed before I drove unto an expressway. At that time, I decided to get the necessary repairs done by a third party because I no longer wanted to take a risk of the problem occurring at high speed on an expressway. In getting the repair done I also found that Ford had to modify the defective part that not only included a defective output sensor but also added a protective cover over the solenoid contacts that were susceptible to loose metal filings in the transmission fluid shorting out the solenoids. I asked Ford to reimburse my expense for my repair costs and they refused. They have basically decided to wait us out and pay for the repairs ourselves. The reprograming fix they initially did to correct the problem did not work and fact that they acknowledged that my truck was improperly serviced under the extended warranty repair shows that their only concern is financial and the safety of their customers is not.

We took our vehicle to Woodhouse Ford in Omaha, NE (72nd St Location) for the 19S07-6R80 Sudden Transmission Downshift-Powertrain Control Module Programming Recall. It was supposedly fixed with a software update. Not long after we experienced the PRNDL Illumination and Backup Lamp Activation (Recall 12C23) Symptom. We were told, while this is a known issue and a recall for other 2011 Ford F-150s, your vehicle’s specific VIN is not “officially in the recall”. Thus, your bill is $867.26 and $636.57 for the associated repairs; transmission leadframe, the backing light issue, and an associated parasitic leak. We pay, we get the vehicle back with no resolution of the parasitic leak and now a backing camera that no longer works (Blue Screen)…was working just fine prior. We now learn that the backing camera is a recall in other Fords…but not OUR VIN. Woodhouse quotes another $900 (New Backup Camera) and another $450 for the unresolved parasitic leak—which they had previously declared was resultant the leadframe malfunction.

While I am driving the vehicle at the posted speed limit it will suddenly down shift into first gear. This causes the vehicle to decelerate quickly and unexpectedly. Fortunately this has happened while driving in the city at 30mph and not while I was driving on the freeway at 70mph as it may have caused a loss of control. The vehicle is not being operated at this time due to malfunction happening several times. I contacted Ford and they stated there was a recall but my vehicle exceeded the mileage limit. I strongly believe that this is a safety issue as it can cause loss of control.

Truck transmission shifted into 1st dear from 4th while driving on a large 4-lane road in the middle of traffic while i was going approx 35 mph. When the downshift happened the tired locked up and the rear end slid sideways. I was able to regain control; however, as I stepped on the accellerator, the truck bogged down for a few seconds before reving to high RPMs and shifting roughly and then went into a mode that only allowed the truck to move between 3rd and 5th gears.

The transmission is downshifting during highway driving causing an abrupt decrease in speed without warning. This issue causes an unsafe condition while operating the vehicle to myself and others around me. Although Ford motor company is aware of the issue, they have not initiated a recall because of it.

I was driving my ford f150 ecoboost 3.5 in the highway I was driving arounf 65 to 70 miles per hours and my truck unexpectedly downshift from 6 gear to first gear, I almost cause an accident cause behind me was another car that almost hit my car on the back just because this problem with the transmission. This is the second time that happen to me driving this car, sometimes I dont fell constable divining like that, I bring the car to the dealer and they said that its no recall for this matter on my truck. I just want to report this matter to some body. This its a serious matter that Ford Dealer should take care.

Sorry it’s been a few days since I have been able to report the still ongoing issue regarding my truck. 6 times on Saturday my truck had extremely erratic behavior. It’s getting progressively worse and I continuously have to speed above the speed limit in order to get my vehicle to shift. I have been trying not to drive it as I know the hard shifts and high rpm’s are causing additional damage that I’ll likely be responsible for. I’m hopping to hear something back soon as I am rallying up members of local forums to whim filing complaints so we can get Ford to resolve this instead on continuing to put a bandaid on it. I would upload videos however your format doesn’t allow me to upload videos of the incidents.

After my vehicle suffered another harsh downshift from 5th to first gear and my service light came back on, I came up to a yellow light and the car felt as if it was resisting me stopping the vehicle. As the light turned red, I felt the vehicle jump hard towards accelerating and watched the RPM needle bounce between the 1000 and 2000 mark as I did all I could to hold the brakes down and keep it from driving away. This is a new incident and I’ve never had the vehicle do this however it did occur immediately after the hard down shift and after the service light came on. Further research shows several discussions where people have had their vehicle idling erratically, the rpm gauge moving while vehicle is at a stop. Hopefully someone is willing to make this right.

Downshift to first gear by transmission while driving it. I have not taken it to dealership or mechanic. It's not drivable any more.

Driving down the expressway yesterday doing approximately 72 miles per hour and the vehicle does a HARD SLAM down to first gear and picks right back up to 6th. Now my concern is not only for the lead frame issue, but my transmission is being damaged every time this continues to happen. Since Ford was not able to even LOOK at my car until June 2023 (Its currently APril 28, 2023), I elected to take to a reputable 3rd party repair shop. At which I was told that the parts on are order and on an "undetermined time" for receiving and Im stuck driving my vehicle with these issues, that ford is aware of, that are becoming a bigger safety issue each time I drive it. Disappointing to say the least. Ford cant build quality trucks. They dont own up to their known safety issues. They cant even schedule to see them in a reasonable timeframe. They dont have adequate parts available. And us consumers are stuck footing the bill and inconvenience. Do better Ford. We are all disappointed.

Today while driving, I turned from a main road into a residential neighborhood and my vehicle decided to stay stuck in first gear. I pulled over, turned it over thinking it would reset. It didn’t. I continued to drive the vehicle in first gear, which won’t shift until it gets to 6000 rpm’s in order to shift to second. So here I am, in a residential zone where the speed limit is 25 MPH stuck in first with no way to get out other than to speed up enough to get to 6000 rpm’s. People were very upset. However this is the predicament this vehicle frequently leaves me in. Fords aware of it. The public is aware of it. Nothing gets done. Meanwhile there are several scenarios that are major safety hazards that occur due to this faulty vehicle. I am told that parts won’t be in for my vehicle for several weeks or even months. So I’m stuck putting drivers and neighbors around me in danger cause Ford won’t admit to their faulty products. So disappointing all the way around.

Driving down the expressway, doing around 70 mph and the vehicle randomly jumps to first gear and brings the vehicle to a near halt in less than one second.

While driving 75mph transmission down shifted unexpectedly to 1 gear. Once I got it home had codes checked called for they stated my truck wasn't covered under recall that is out there for 2011 ford f150 doing the same thing.

During driving transmission will erratically downshift especially during deceleration without touching the brakes or when you have to slow down and then get back to speed. This causes a very sudden jerk of the drive train, to the point that it feels like the truck will break either a u-joint or rip the rear-end apart. So far no accidents from it but my concern is that it seems to act like the transmission is having an issue that has been reported on this series of trucks. This was supposed to be corrected by a possible software fix but it did not work.

My truck 2011 F150 shows symptoms 3 times as described by Fords 19S07 recall (NHTSA #19V0790000) but my vin is not listed as needing to be recalled and it should be as it has down shifted into 2nd gear on 3 occasions between 55 and 60 mph.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle independently stopped suddenly in the middle of the roadway, as if the brake pedal had been depressed.

The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission molded leadframe needed to be replaced. The mechanic advised the contact that there was a manufacturer recall Campaign Number: 16N02 Molded (Leadframe Extended Coverage - Power Train). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

My truck has been shifting hard..or taking a very long time to shift into gear. When I put the truck into reverse it doesn't indicate/light up the R-reverse light on dashboard which is dangerous not knowing what gear the truck is actually in..after quite some time it will slam or thud hard into reverse but still doesn't illuminate on the dash...then when switching into drive it slams very hard into gear. My acceleration has also been acting up and does not accelerate normal anymore. It's very sluggish and slow to get going which is very dangerous sometimes when entering a highway. I've also been going 40-50 mph and suddenly I lose power and my truck slows down and I have no control over it..hitting the gas only revs engine but does nothing. My reverse lights don't work sometimes either and my rear window has also quit working. I have contacted the locao ford dealer about these issues and the person was not only rude but was without doubt trying to rush me off the phone and told me they were booked up for many weeks and it'd be awhile before I could get the truck looked at...I bought thus truck in November 2019 and had taken it in for a recall that they had to do a quick reprogramming...come to find out there was also at the time a safety recall which "expired'" at 10 years or 150000 miles which is IMO total nonsense and unprofessional of Ford to not make this a real recall that they are required to fix knowing the many issues thousands of vehicles are having due to there negligence when they were built. It's not right to have there customers pay thousands out of there pockets to replace parts that are known to quit working properly and cause many safety issues for people driving the faulty vehicles. We are already paying monthly payments and the only thing the expired safety compliance/ not actual recall is doing for Ford is making them lose loyal customers. I truly worry about the unsafe occurrences that may happen with my child in my truck now and it's not right

Transmission downshifts while in full freeway speed. Then refuses to shift. Problem is a ford faulty power output censer. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Ford has acknowledged the issue but refuses to correct the issue on my truck. Their customer service told me to go fix it MYSELF. Unbelievable. Makes Truck uncontrollable at high speeds and very very dangerous. I would like them to honor the recall and fix this problem before someone gets hurt/killed

I am getting a P0299 code truck and according to research, this is something to do with the Turbo. It is causing my truck to lose power while driving. I have had it parked since then.

even after having the first recall done by previous owner on the transmission .we were sold it without that knowledge and the transmission is once again downshifting whenever it feel like sometimes into 3rd sometimes into 1st sometimes if you pull over and shut off it will run fine for a little while but now it will cost almost $900 to get it fixed because recall is over

Hello, I purchased this Ford F150 new 12-2011. It was taken into in a Ford dealership for service/repairs from 1-x-2020 to pick up date of 2-x-2020 with 112,xxx miles on odometer. I have the original receipt listing the work. Noted on my receipt is "C/S trans slips at random". The dealership completed, as noted on my invoice, "perform recall 19S19 powertrain control module reprograming" and (second line item), " perform recall 19S19 PCM reprogram clear code4S". The transmission periodically shifted hard/slip after this re program, and eventually went into low gear (2022) without any driver command while on a highway, towing a loaded trailer in which I had to immediately pull onto the shoulder/shut off the vehicle. Restarted, and it functioned as expected. The last time it went into limp mode was while driving, luckily around 35mph, and was towed into a FORD dealership 11-2022 and where it currently resides. With the latest service they "re-flashed" the PCM 11-2022 and asked why a second re-flash" was told it was a "new software update". I asked that the core problem be fixed, a LEAD FRAME transmission component and was told it was covered under a FORD program "OASIS". A few weeks later was told "not covered" and cost would be on me. The part is now on national backorder with "18,000 on back order, no estimate of ship date" per FORD dealer emp. this week. My truck "possibly" may be driven and service tech implied as much, since the second re-flash, having been told that "a mechanic drove it and it didn't malfunction" but I requested that the root problem (LEAD FRAME TRANS COMPONENT) be fixed so the transmission doesn't go into low gear at highway speeds, towing. I feel it it an inherent danger to myself and others on the roads and I am concerned it may downshift into low gear at higher speeds until the proper repair can be completed. 19S07 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCMN-19V075-2645.pdf Thank you for your time.

The transmission seem to not want to switch gears. It lost power in the middle of the road. Haven't seen a dealer.havent been inspected. A large wrench appeared and started becoming erratic. Put my scan tool on it and retrieved code P0720

I was driving, luckily at a slow speed when my trucks transmission without warning down shifted into first gear.

Automatic transmission- Vehicle unexpectedly down shifts to first gear regardless of the speed you are going, can cause you to lose control of vehicle resulting in a accident. Unable to drive vehicle because of this issue, vehicle need to be recalled.

While driving approximately 70 mph on the interstate the truck suddenly jumped from 6th gear to 1st gear. This forced numerous vehicles and semi trucks to take evasive actions while I skid on the interstate until I was able to get off the road. I contacted for and this was a warranty extension for 10 yrs and 150,000 miles of build date. I only had 99,700 or so miles at the time. It was past the 10 year mark and they will not cover any costs. This is a dangerous situation for all F150 owners. This part (Lead Frame) should be recalled immediately.

Traveling down the highway the vehicle Ford F150 (part of an earlier recall 190v075000 Powertrain - taken to dealership for service) suddenly shifted into first gear, it was hard to control the vehicle for a moment, then the vehicle shifted in another higher gear and I was able to pull over, to the side of the road The computer was reset at the dealer and all appeared to be well when two days later, it did the same thing. There have been issues with the vehicle to go into a flooding kind of stall and the computer screen would go blank. After, stopping and turning off the truck would be ok. This vehicle is a danger to myself and others to drive. I live in a rural area 60 miles from the nearest dealership, where it is difficult to get an appointment and have been left stranded by the roadside, more than once. Fred Shumate, Dixon NM

While driving, the transmission will randomly down shift into 1st gear and the speedometer will die. The truck flashes a “wrench” icon. There is no pattern, the issue is intermittent. When the speedometer dies, the transmission will only shift in “manual” mode, but will not shift above 3rd gear. The check engine light illuminates and throws codes P0720 and P0722. This indicates an output speed shaft sensor failure. Ford released a Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01 for this issue and offers full repairs. However the repairs were only valid if the truck was less than 10 years old or less than 150,000. My truck is now 11 years old (the issue first was present in May 2022) but I only have 73,000 miles. Ford is unwilling to help because I am outside the warranty by a few months. This is a definite safety concern because I’ve been driving on the freeway at 75 MPH in 6th gear only for the transmission to downshift to 1st gear, which causes a violent skid and potential rollover and accident. I live in a severe wintery area, and this issue makes the truck undriveable in the snow and ice. I would like for Ford to run a diagnostic scan, and replace the required components based off their previous CSP. Or, consider this a safety recall and allow me to trade my truck in with no penalties.

Well known 6R80 Transmission Molded Lead Frame defective, causing unexpected and dangerous downshift/loss of power, instrument gauges malfunction and both wrench light and engine light come on. Ford somehow avoided recall to save millions, instead issuing Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01, however replacement part is in short supply and dealerships weren't taking appointments then due to Covid pandemic. Following up recently with Ford dealer since symptoms have worsened, apparently program is now expired and they won't fix. We were nearly rear-ended twice attempting to merge onto freeway, so took it to a reputable local former Ford tech, but he can't obtain the part, which is back ordered everywhere, yet apparently Ford has. Putting everyone on notice and hoping it doesn't take a serious accident/avoidable lawsuit for Ford to do the right thing. Pls advise accordingly. Thank You. Desperate in NV...

The drivetrain shifted down to 1st gear while truck was moving at normal city street speeds. I fear the safety of this drivetrain shifting down while traveling at interstate speeds. Would most likely cause loss of control of vehicle. This problem happens at random times and we haven’t been able to duplicate it. Once the vehicle is stopped, turned off and back on, it clears the issue. No one has inspected the vehicle at this time and the Ford dealership said they could fix it for $1000. There were no warnings or other symptoms before this failure. This began about March 2022 and has happened 3 times. We had the transmission flushed because the mechanic said that could be the problem. This is still occurring.

Known problem by ford motor company Repaired nothing in warranty period and now an issue with no parts available for repairs. Truck will not go into reverse until creep mode engages 20 to 30 seconds later. Unsafe to drive this vehicle should I have to back up in an emergency. I’ve never was notified of a recall How does a known problem just expire with no action. Very suspicious.

Had the recall 19S07 service preformed 11/2020. Truck continues to do the exact same downshifts into first gear. Shift lights on dash go erratic switching the wrench lights up on the dash. Goes away and jerks into gear and takes off. Have not been able o drive because of how frequently it’s happening now. Last time this happen a man literally came back around to tell me off because he barely missed t-boning me trying to turn into Safeway.

The truck has abruptly shifted into first gear multiple times while driving at highway speeds or speeds far above what first gear should be allowed, failed to shift out of first gear multiple times at stop lights, and has failed to accelerate into first gear from park also throwing a P0731 code and warning indicator light.

I was driving 65MPH. The Change Oil Soon Message come on. I pressed Reset to clear the message. Within seconds the truck jerked twice and when I looked at the dash I was in 1st gear doing over 5500 RPM. The speedometer showed I was not moving but no other indications of error on the dash. No Wrench showing this time. I pulled over and turned the truck off. Restarted the engine and everything was just fine the whole way home from there. I drove the truck to the dealership (Lawton, OK) to check the truck for me on Thursday but they seemed to think if the check engine light was not on there was no urgency. They know it is an F150 from 2011. They want me to return on the 16th for an appointment.

Driving down the road at about 45mph. I was slowing down for a stop sign. The truck just accelerated with my foot on the brake. I had to press the brake harder and overcome the acceleration.

I was driving my truck to lakemead nv on the highway going about 50-55 mph when all of sudden my truck dropped from 6th gear to 5th gear so i pulled over and it went from 5th to 3rd gear and it would not change from there i got a check engine light with code p0721 well long story short i called ford with the code and found out it was a “csp” customer satisfaction program but my truck does not qualify because of miles and year apparently 150,000 miles or 10years witch ever comes first but to me i feel like its a safety issue and should fix it no matter what thank god there wasn’t that much traffic otherwise i don’t know what would of happened.

11 May 2022: Turned right into four lane traffic and accelerated. Truck refused to shift out of first gear. I had to make the first turn I could to get out of traffic. Turned truck off and re-started engine. Problem was resolved. Wednesday 18 May: Driving west on Hwy 7 at about 65 MPH. Truck lurched slightly and all speed/distance indicators on dash went blank. A single wrench was displayed. Speedometer dropped to Zero MPH.Truck seemed to drive just fine so I limped to a gas station a mile away. There I shut the truck off again and restarted the engine. Engine ran fine but no odometer readings still. Being 15 miles from the next town I decided to continue to drive slow. Shifting was normal and truck ran fine just no speedometer. I Drove straight to the first auto parts store (Advanced Auto) who read the fault code for me. It was something like Failed Speed Transmitter. Driving home that evening the truck seemed fine again. Normal start all displays working no wrench showing. I was driving 55 slowed to 45 for a speed zone. Then coasted to a stop for the red light. When the light turned green I drove. Instead of shifting up the truck stayed in first and even when I lifted my foot from the gas pedal the truck continued to accelerate to over 40 MPH. I Had to apply the brake to stop the acceleration. This was on HWY 7 four lanes of traffic. I had to get pulled off the road and re-start the truck again. The truck is now parked. All quotes I have to 'fix' this are beyond my ability to pay. And no-one (Even the Ford Dealer) will warranty any results other than a new sender unit and not any 'un-forseen' issues later.

Transmission skipped gears while driving. Downshifted from 5 to 1 going 70 mph while driving down the interstate. Rear end locked up causing me to almost lose control. Sitting still at a light it will shift itself in to higher gears. Wrench light comes on.

The powertrain (transmission) has failed. The vehicle has had an issue when shifting into reverse since around the time I purchased the pickup. The vehicle is still doing this, and it is shifting strangely. It will shift from 2, to 1, to 4. Now it will shift from 3, to 1, to 5. When downshifting as I come to a stop, it will stay in 4, unless I manually shift to N, and back into D. At this time, it will shift back to 1 at a stop. It looses power at these times. It has presented with the "powertrain malfunction indicator light" (wrench). My safety and that of others was put at risk by shifting erratically, causing the vehicle to slow down, nerfing the ability to speed up. Losing the ability to speed up from a dead stop under normal driving conditions, increasing the likelihood of an accident from oncoming traffic when turning at an intersection, driving through an intersection from a stop, or from traffic behind the vehicle. I have not been able to have it reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. When I took it to a service center, they were unable to pull any codes relating to the issue. I have yet to take it to a dealer service center. The vehicle nor component have been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or anyone else. The dash light up with a "Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light," in the shape of a large orange wrench. Once acknowledged, and the "OK" button has been depressed, the indicator goes away and a smaller wrench stays illuminated in the lower right corner of the display. This and similar issues have been occurring with this vehicle since the first two years of ownership. I had no idea where to begin to have the vehicle repaired or inspected for these issues. My ignorance (and that of many more of their customers) seems to be Ford's benefit. Ford did issue a "Customer Satisfaction Program" (16N02) for this issue, but I had no idea about it until my vehicle did not qualify any longer, due to mileage.

While I was driving home from work in my 2011 Ford F-150 on the highway. I was passing a semi when my transmission suddenly downshifted very hard locking up the wheels for a second. Which caused my truck to almost come to a complete stop in the left lane of the highway. The truck behind me almost rearended my truck and it caused my truck to jar to the right in front of the semi truck. I was able to avoid colliding with the semi truck and bring my truck to a stop on the right shoulder of the highway. Then when I tried checking to see if the truck would still move by moving the shifter through the gears. No matter what gear I put it in it would not move so I had to have it towed home where it is still sitting. I have tried to move it since then but it still will not go into any gear. I called Ford to see if my truck was part of the transmission recall and to tell them what had happened. I was told my truck was not part of the recall and there was nothing they could do. The truck still sits in the driveway while I try to save enough money to get the transmission replaced. I have had multiple safety issues with this truck the first one was that it would not move when you tried to take off. Then while on my way to work the truck shutdown on the highway and had to coast off the highway. Then it would not restart so had it towed to the dealership which told me the timing chains went bad and I needed a new motor. I put $11,000 into getting it fixed after only having it for a year. Then not even a year later the incident with the transmission happened. If either of these two issues would have happened to someone with less experience things could have turned out a lot worse which is what I want to prevent from happening. My Wife and kids would drive this truck around as well and I hate to think what could have happened had she been out alone with our children. Please look into this I know that the 3.5 liter Eco-Boost engines have had prior issues along with the 6R80 Trans.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number 19V075000 (Power Train) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Traveling at 45 mph the transmission abruptly downshifted, rpm jumped up past 5000, and the rear wheels locked and made me lose control of the truck. I recovered and pulled over. Luckily no other vehicle was around us at the time as I was all over the road trying to control the vehicle. Ford has not reached out to me about this issue however I have discovered that this is a known problem in this year of F150 trucks and all my Recalls have been completed.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150 The contact stated while stopped at a stop sign, the contact took his foot off the brake pedal and the vehicle started to accelerate.

While driving the transmission down shifted the maintenance light came off and I selected okay. At that point the display went to dashes and the vehicle was in limp mode. Was able to park the vehicle safely. Turned the truck off and let sit, started truck 30 minutes later and did a slow drive around the area and the issue did not happen again. Bought this vehicle used has 97000ish miles on it. Getting it looked at ASAP.

The truck constantly downshifts out of 2nd or 3rd gear into 1st gear. The speedometer is now pegged and the radio display keeps going on and off. This is a known problem and there a many complaints. This truck was produced in 2011 at the same plant as recalled trucks experiencing the same issue. When is the NHTSA going to force Ford to expand the recall. Do more fatal accidents need to happen before you force them to expand the recall. The NHTSA and Ford will be liable for damages when it is found that they new there was an issue and decided to ignore the issue causing more deaths.

The truck drops out of 2nd and 3rd into 1st gear. The electronics (Speedometer pegged and radio display goes in and out constantly) are shorting. This is a know problem with a recall that needs to be expanded. My truck was produced at the same production plant during 2011 as the recall but for some unknown reason is not included in the recall. The NHTSA needs to force Ford to expand the recall before more people are killed. Eventually there will a class action lawsuit against Ford and the NHTSA for knowing about the transmission short and not doing anything about it.

While driving on the interstate my truck suddenly flashed a wrench on the display. At that point the truck shifted by itself into a lower gear almost causing an accident and for me to lose control of the truck. When this happened the speedometer stopped working and went to zero and the mileage disappeared and showed all dashes. Once I turn the ignition off, it seems to fix the problem for the short term, but after 20-30 mins it does the exact same thing again. This happened for the first time 3 weeks ago and has happened 5 or 6 times since. I have stopped driving the truck. Ford could not tell me specifically what was wrong with the truck because they couldn't recreate the error due to the fact that they wouldn't drive it for 20-30 mins for the problem to occur.

while driving at approx 60mph the vehicle down shifted to low, no response from the accelerator, the wrench showed in the display after selecting ok the display changes to all dashes

Traveling at highway speeds approximately 65 to 70 miles per hour. The vehicle down shifted to 2nd and then 1st gear on it’s own. The downshifting caused the rear tires to lockup and the vehicle simultaneously jerked to one side. Luckily I was able to maintain control and move over to the shoulder safely. I was able to drive home manually shifting through the gears.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would enter limp mode.

While driving down the road the vehicle shifts down to 1st gear. Lights on dashboard go out briefly. This causes big safety issue when i am doing 70 miles an hour on the highway with cars behind me. Ford has a Customer Satisfaction program out on this issue. (16N02) But they put a limit on the work of 10 years or 150,000 miles. So I have to pay now because we bought this used and the previous owner never brought it in. the vehicle now has 157,000 miles on it. This is not listed as a safety recall and i believe it should as it poses a huge safety issue on the roads as I am driving.

I just recently had the recall for transmission reprograming completed. 3 weeks later, the transmission dropped to 1st gear while driving. No indicator lights illuminated on the dash. A sudden downshift could cause the loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. Any vehicle following me could have collided with me. Upon researching the issue, I found this is a common problem with this vehicle. The problem has not been reported to a dealer or service center. No indicator lights illuminated on the dash. After turning the truck off and restarting, the transmission would not shift beyond 1st gear. While applying steady/consistent pressure to the gas pedal, the engine would rev/surge intermittently.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while coming out of a complete stop, the vehicle was stuck in first gear. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the transmission replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 91,572. Vehicle has been repaired.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while attempting to reverse out of the driveway, the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was shifted to PARK, restarted, and shifted into drive, and operated as designed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Several hours later that day after returning from the gas station, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled while approaching his residence. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was pushed onto the driveway and shifted into PARK. The contact performed a diagnostic test and retrieved a code for a defective transmission range sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 290,000.

The transmission is down shifting from 2nd to 1st intermittently. The transmission makes a thumping sound then goes back to normal. Speedometer is pegged at 140 miles an hour and the radio display is blinking on and off.

The vehicle transmission shifts down into lower gear while driving. This is already a known recall, but my complaint is that the vehicle manufacturer fix to the safety issue is not an effective remedy and does not fix the problem at hand. I originally took my car in for a safety recall. The recall was was for a transmission issue that causes the vehicle to to downshift to first gear randomly which could lead to an accident or death if traveling at high speeds. The recall "procedure" was performed which was just a software update to the vehicles programming, but the issue still persisted. I told the dealership service advisor that my car was still downshifting intermittently and that my car was still dangerous to drive. I was told that the software update was just a fix to cover fords liability against recall lawsuits, but that the actual reason for the safety issue was the molded lead frame. Ford has an extended warranty on this part for up to 150,000 miles on the vehicle. My vehicle was at 155,000 miles. My car was still a danger to drive and the recall software update did not fix the true issue at hand. Ford is screwing people over by offering a fix to their safety recall that doesn't actually fix the safety issue and instead just frees them from liability from a potential lawsuit. The fix to the safety issue in these affected vehicles is in the molded lead-frame component in the transmission which is causing the vehicle to downshift, the issue does not have to do with the vehicles "programming". I was charged to have the molded lead-frame replaced which should have been covered under the safety recall. The molded lead-frame replacement fixed the intermittent downshifting problem along with many other intermittent electrical issues. Ford should be paying to have all molded lead-frames in affected vehicles changed as the fix to their safety recall.

Vehicle speedometer stopped working, the total mileage indicator read all dashes “- - - - - -“ and the transmission was shifting to the wrong gear. For example from a stop the truck would immediately be in fifth gear. The yellow wrench indicator came on briefly and then went away. I turned the truck off then on again and the problem went away and I made it home. Today I took the car to get the safety recall completed, and on my way home the car speedometer stopped working again and I was not able to accelerate while I was making a left turn. This left me stranded in the middle of the intersection and I had to restart the car and the problem went away. I asked the dealer if they would look into the lead frame extended warranty and they would not honor the coverage because I am at 155,000 miles and the coverage ends at 150,000 miles and because it is a 10 year coverage but my car was manufactured 10 years and 3 months ago. The recall did not fix my issue and the vehicle is not safe to drive. The issue is however intermittent and I am a college student who must commute 1hour away to attend the university. I don’t feel safe driving the vehicle, there was one point when the car down shifted rapidly and caused my car to jerk to a stop. I was only going 15 miles per hour so it was not too dangerous. Please help. The recall software update is all they were willing to help me with. Although the problem still persists.

I was driving down busy highway at approx 55 mph when without warning my truck downshifted. I was terrified and it was all I could do to keep control of my vehicle. I was lucky that I wasn’t ran over. After I regained my composure I attempted to pull up to a drive way and truck would barely move. Ended up having it towed to my home. I have since did research and found the recall. I will be contacting my local ford dealer to inquire about repairs. This is a very dangerous problem. I anticipate that ford will correct the problem without cost to me.

I have owned this truck a little over 2 years. Several times while starting out, the transmission will not shift out of first gear. I have to pull over somewhere, stop, and put the transmission in park, then proceed again. It operates normally after that. There is a recall that Ford has issued to repair that problem, but because my truck doesn’t show a certain “code” when checking the diagnostics, Ford will not put the truck under this recall. I have read other situations where you can be going 70 mph and the transmission suddenly shifts into first gear, locking the rear wheels, and causing accidents. This is a real problem that I worry about daily, as my son usually drives this vehicle. I don’t understand since Ford knows a problem exists, that they refuse to remedy this dangerous situation. Can you help on my behalf, please?

I am trying to get my truck repaired under the recall noted below: Manufacturer Recall Number19S07 NHTSA Recall Number19V075 However, Ford does not have the parts to complete the repair and can give no time frame as to when they will have them. I have been without my truck for 6 weeks and counting.

Speed sensor stops communicating causing the truck to shift in first gear. This has caused the back wheels to lock up and could cause serious wreck. I need to have this fixed ASAP at no charge. This is a $40,000 truck and should not be having these dangerous issues. I hope this can be taken care of without contacting the news and my attorney

While in a parking lot I started the engine and put it in gear with my foot on the brake. After a moment or 2 the RPM came up and the tires were squealing. I then shifted to neutral and the RPM slowed. I then shifted to drive and drove to an exit. While waiting for a break in traffic with my foot on the brake the same thing happened. The RPM came up and the rear tires were trying to spin. I shifted to neutral until I could move, and shifted to drive and joined the traffic. There was no problems with speed control while driving in traffic.

The truck will go from gear 6 to gear 1 and I lose all power. I've almost been in a wreck multiple times. I entered my vin and it shows no recalls on my truck but when I tried looking up what's going on with it I seen a recall regarding the exact same thing. Idk if it's because it's Canadian or why.

Going down the road at 55 mph, and the truck went down to first gear, wouldn't show my speed, then wouldn't come out of 3rd gear.

So I went and got the recall done on it the one about the failing pcm and it dropping to first all of a sudden and temporarily losing control of the vehicle. Fortunatley every time this happens ive been going slow but there have been times when ill be going a good 60 something mph and it feels like ive hit a brick wall. so anyway i got the recall done and it was good fro a awhile but now its doing it again and when o called the dealership[ to find out what to do about it. They said I was sol and need to bring it in so they can find out whATS WRONG WOITH IT FEES NOT INCLUDED...

VEHICLE'S SLAMS INTO 1ST WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS FORD HAS STOPPED THEIR INITIAL FIX. APPARENTLY THEIR FIX IS NOT WORKING. NOT ABLE TO GET TIMELINE ON WHEN FORD WILL COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THIS. DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT I NEED A VEHICLE. I CAN'T GET IT REPAIRED SO NOW I'M IN LIMBO WITH NO VEHICLE.

AFTER CRANKING THE VEHICLE, I PUT IN IN REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DID NOT WANT TO BACK UP. FEARING THAT I WOULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS PULLING A TROUBLE CODE P0705 FOR THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS (12C23) FOR FORD F150'S FOR CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2013 MODELS. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE 4 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL YEARS. MY FORD WAS MADE IN 4/11. THE RECALL STARTED FOR 8/11 YEAR VEHICLES. MY TRUCK IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED IN THE RECALL. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO EXCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER THAT COST ME $907.36. THE TOW BILL WAS $140.00. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FROM FORD FOR ALL THIS.

THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION HAVING A HARSH DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK AND ENGINE REVS UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST INCLUDING A FEW DAYS BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2019. ( RECALL 19V -075). THIS PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO FORD, IS DUE TO INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ( PART OF THE MOLDED LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION). TWO LATEST INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE OCCASION ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE VEHICLE HAD VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFT WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO FORD AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON TWO OCCASIONS ( SEE ATTACHED INVOICES). THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED AND NO WARNING MESSAGES OR TROUBLE CODES HAVE BEEN FOUND DURING THE REPAIRS. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ( PROGRAM # 19N01) ON MAY 2019 AND MY VEHICLE STILL QUALIFIES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THIS WEEK TO REQUEST THEY REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME SINCE THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THEY SAY NO TROUBLE CODES ARE PRESENT. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS ON FORD FORUMS WHO SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE NO TROUBLE CODES STORED EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LACK OF TROUBLE CODES DOES NOT ENSURE THE PROBLEM IS NOT PRESENT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS THAT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS IS JEOPARDIZED BY FORD NOT AGREEING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THEY THEMSELVES SAY IN THE RECALL NOTICE THAT "THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH."

BACK IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2020), I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REPAIRS AND ALSO FOR THEM TO PERFORM RECALL #19V075. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS THEY DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS. AND UNTIL TODAY WHEN I LOOKED UP MY VIN, I HAD ASSUMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST DONE THE SAFETY RECALL. BUT THEY APPARENTLY NEGLECTED TO DO THAT TOO. WELL, LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY, MY TRUCK SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT ABRUPTLY AND HAVE MINIMAL POWER AND VARIOUS LIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF ON THE DASH. THEN THIS MORNING, MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTRAL, FOLLOWED BY EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO MOVE A COUPLE OF FEET EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS SUBSEQUENT PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH FSA 19N01 THAT FORD HAS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. I SUPPOSE THAT IT IS UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED. I WILL FIND OUT WEDNESDAY, AS I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY TRUCK BACK IN. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS, THEY FAILED TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL UPDATE AS I REQUESTED.

I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS WERE OVER UNTIL THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE HOOKED IT UP TO HIS MACHINE AND SAID THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS WAS NOT REGISTERING THEN I REMEMBERED I HAD A RECALL ON A SENSOR THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD HOUSE. I DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL PAPER WITH ME SO THEY LOOKED IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE THAT GOES TO A SENSOR IN MY TRANSMISSION. AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER TAKE IT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT ANY FASTER THAN LIKE 25 MILES AN HOUR BECAUSE IT JERKS SO HARD AND THERE'S NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHATSOEVER. IT'S SCARY, VERY SCARY. MY COMPLAINT IS I DID THE RECALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT BECAUSE IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING LIKE I NEVER I KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THROUGH THE CODE AND IS NO LONGER PROGRAMMED I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S UNSAFE AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AT ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE HONK AT ME AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I GO SO SLOW SO I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON. PEOPLE ARE RUDE NOW DAYS IF THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW SOMEONE DRIVING SUPER SLOW. WHICH I DO BECAUSE OF THE JERK AND THE SOUND IT MAKES. UNSAFE.

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

MY 2011 F-150 WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT SHOW UP IN THE IN THE INDICATOR. IT REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR ISSUE. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY FORD (12C23) THAT COVERED THE SAME ISSUE FOR 2011 - 2013 MODEL YEAR F-150 WITH 6R80 TRANSMISSION. MY F-150 WAS NOT IN THE MANUFACTURE DATE RANGE, BUT IT HAS ALL THE ISSUES THAT WERE IN THE 12C23 RECALL. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO FORDS ATTENTION, BUT THEY INDICATED THAT IT IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR REFERENCE. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL 2011 F-150 THAT HAVE THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL. IT ALSO SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THEY DID ISSUE A RECALL 19N01 FOR THE MOLD LEAD FRAME FOR THIS F-150, BUT REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SPECIFIC CODES FOR THIS RECALL WERE NOT PRESENT.

IF MY VIN IS ON THE FIELD SERVICE RECALL AND THE SAFETY RECALL. BOTH SHOULD BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE PARTS AND LABOR. REGARDLESS OF THE CODES. ITS FORDS [XXX] UP.

THERE IS A COMPLIANCE RECALL 12C23 DATED MAY 30, 2012 WHICH ADDRESSES THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM EXPERIENCING: ' TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO REVERSE GEAR ' ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION PRNDL INDICATOR DOES NOT DISPLAY REVERSE (IF EQUIPPED) ' BACK-UP LAMPS ARE INOPERATIVE ' INTERMITTENT REAR VIDEO CAMERA OPERATION WHEN I CONTACTED FORD, THEY VERIFIED MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2011; WHICH WAS BEFORE THE TERMS OF THE COMPLIANCE RECALL COVERING THE PERIOD COVERING OCTOBER 2011 - FEBRUARY 2012.

I AM AN OWNER OF A FORD F-150 PLATINUM. THE VIN IS (XXXXX). I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL WITH FIX FOR MY PICKUP LAST YEAR. I TOOK MY PICKUP WITH THE NOTICE THAT I HAD RECEIVED IN THE MAIL TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BAUGH FORD IN CLANTON, ALABAMA. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON OR AROUND SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PRIOR TO THIS REPAIR, I HAD NOT NOTICED OR EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, FOLLOWING THE REPAIR, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM FORGETTING WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. THIS SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING SLOWLY AS IN A PARKING LOT, THEN LETTING OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AS SOON AS THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A BRIEF PAUSE FOLLOWED BY A LOUD METAL TO METAL POP AND JOLT AS IF SOMEONE HAD HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED INFREQUENTLY AND I COULD NOT MAKE THIS HAPPEN, NOT REPRODUCEABLE. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER LAST. ON JUNE 15, 2019, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-65 NORTH JUST NORTH OF MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO MOMENTARILY SLIP OR GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS STILL IN DRIVE POSITION AND REMAINED IN THAT POSITION THROUGH OUT THIS INCIDENT. THEN IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING GEARS. AT SOME POINT THE REAR TIRES LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND I AND THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY LEFT THE INTERSTATE. I WENT DOWN A STEEP EMBANKMENT. I FINALLY MANAGED TO STOP MY VEHICLE, WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR HIGHWAY SIGNAGE, NEAR A SECONDARY ROAD. I THEN MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR FROM DRIVE INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THEN BACK TO THE DRIVE POSITION AND DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A SAFER LOCATION.

BEGINNING APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO, WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, IT BEGAN SUFFERING SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTS. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT WOULD SUDDENLY DROP INTO THIRD GEAR, OR FIRST GEAR, VERY DRAMATIC! VERY SCARY! SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHEN I PULLED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND, WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO FIND A WAY TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT TO CLEAR THIS FAULT. SOMETIMES THE FAULT WOULD NOT CLEAR WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY AND I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF MY FAMILY, WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN. WE PURCHASED THIS AS A FAMILY AND WORK TRUCK AND SUDDENLY WE FELT OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER DRIVING IT. I LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2011 F-150S FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT WAS TOLD MY PARTICULAR TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL. NO REASON WAS GIVEN. I OPTED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF AND IT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. THAT WAS A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO AND WE HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE RECURRENCE OF THE FAULT SINCE I PAID FOR THE REPAIR. DURING A PHONE CALL WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY I WAS PROMISED BY THEIR EMPLOYEE SHAY, EMPLOYEE NUMBER TO 19116 3, THAT FOR IT WOULD BE FULLY COVERING MY REPAIR. CAS - 17206 574 THEY DID COVER A REPAIR NUMBER ONE NINE S07, BUT THE MECHANIC IN CHARGE AT VALLEY FORD IN KALISPELL MONTANA TOLD ME I NEEDED 16 N 02. ONCE 16 N02 HAD BEEN PERFORMED MY TRUCK NO LONGER HAS SUFFERED ANY DOWNSHIFT OR TRANSMISSION ERRORS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MY TRUCK AND MANY LIKE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE 16N02 RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

S19S07 / NHTSA RECALL 19V-075 IS CAUSING FAILURE ON TRANSMISSION WITH NO ISSUES. I FOUND ONLINE THAT MY 2011 F150 WAS DUE FOR THE 19S07 RECALL 19V-075 OR THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS). THIS RECALL HAS TO DO WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND "AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR CAN CAUSE AN ABRUPT WHEEL SPEED REDUCTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN." I HAVE DRIVEN AND OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE BRAND NEW AND IT HAD 16 MILES ON IT. I'VE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION REPAIR OR PROBLEM OUT OF IT SINCE I'VE HAD IT. HOWEVER, NOT WANTING TO RISK HAVING AN ISSUE, I TOOK IT IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THIS RECALL, THEY THEN UPDATED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WITH SOFTWARE TO PREVENT THIS. I RECEIVED THE TRUCK BACK AND DROVE IT HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I STARTED THE ENGINE, PULLED THE COLUMN SHIFTER INTO REVERSE, AND THE ORANGE LIGHT FOR THE SHIFTER DIAL ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. NOTHING HAPPENED AT FIRST AND THEN IT SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER LIGHT NEVER LIT UP UNTIL I PUT IT BACK IN TO PARK AND THE ORANGE SHIFTER LIGHT REAPPEARED. I THEN PULLED THE SHIFTER LEVER DOWN IN TO DRIVE AND AGAIN, THE ORANGE SHIFTER LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO INTO GEAR FOR A MOMENT AND THEN SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO DRIVE. AGAIN, WITH NO SIGNAL ON THE DASH THAT IT WAS EVEN IN A GEAR, DRIVE, PARK, ETC. TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION AND A DAY LATER THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR, WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $1,000 TO BE REPAIRED. I REFUSED THE REPAIR THAT WAS NOW GOING TO COST ME CAUSED BY THE RECALL AND SOFTWARE UPDATE. AGAIN, THE TRUCK HAD NO ISSUES BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO BILL UTTER FORD FOR THE TRANSMISSION RECALL AND SOFTWARE UPDATE.

AFTER COMPLETING A REQUIRED RECALL, MY TRUCK SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER 'ZERO'D' OUT WHILE IN MOTION. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN IT OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, THE BACK WHEELS FELT LIKE THEY LOCKED UP. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK FOR FLAT TIRES, AS THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. ALL TIRES CHECK OUT OK. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THIS CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I THOUGHT THAT THE NEW UPDATE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL AND COULD NOT BE REDONE. I READ A COUPLE OF INTERNET BLOGS OF WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. IF THE UPDATE CAUSED OTHER FAULTY PARTS TO BE EXPOSED, I UNDERSTAND. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOCK ITS TIRES WHILE IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE PICTURE THAT IS ATTACHED IS WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED.

AFTER EXPERIENCING MY F150 DOING PERIODIC DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LAST FALL, I STARTED TRYING TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX A FAULTY OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. BUT ONLY FOR TRUCKS MADE IN DEARBORN OR KANSAS CITY. NOT FOR MINE. ULTIMATELY AFTER DECIDING TO FIX THIS ISSUE I LEARNED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOW BAD AS A RESULT OF THE SEVERAL DOWNSHIFTS WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MOST LIKELY...AND THE DAMAGE RESULTING FROM GOING FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR SUDDEN LIKE. THE FIX...THAT JUST THIS MONTH HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN A NEW RECALL (#19S07)...WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID FOR IF THE RECALL WAS ISSUED EARLIER AND MAYBE I WOULD BE $7,000 BETTER OFF TODAY. ( I PAID FOR A NEW TRANNY A FEW MONTHS AGO. ). I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH FORD BUT GOT NO SYMPATHY OR UNDERSTANDING....JUST A LADY WHO RE-RECITED WHAT MY RECALL LETTER STATED. THAT IF YOU ARE PART OF THIS RECALL, TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER AFTER MARCH 4TH AND THEY WILL REPROGRAM THE FAULTY PART. BUT IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN VICTIMIZED..YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. SEEMS KIND OF UNFAIR THAT THEY WILL ONLY STEP UP IF YOU HAVEN'T YET HAD A PROBLEM. ECONOMICS, FOR SURE. I'M OUT OVER $7,000 BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT THEY ADMIT TO. AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES WHO SAY THEY ARE AUTHORIZED TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS, WON'T SO MUCH AS GIVE ME ANOTHER PERSON OR DEPARTMENT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH. SEND A LETTER, SHE SAID... DANG RIGHT I WILL. AND A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL! THANKS A LOT, FORD.

I HAVE 3 ISSUES TO REPORT: 1.

TRUCK TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS TO A VERY LOW GEAR JERKING THE TRUCK AND LOSING CONTROL. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER FOUR TIMES SINCE 2011. STILL DOWNSHIFTING SUDDENLY. FORD JUST RECALLED IN RECALL # 19507 FEBRUARY 2019 CERTAIN TRUCKS FOR RECALL FOR THE DOWNSHIFTING. MY VIN# WAS EXCLUDED. FORD ASSIGNED CASE# CAS-17164754-N-T2C3 AND TOLD ME TO PAY FOR THE PARTS MYSELF AND KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE FORD RECALLS MY VIN#. FORD HAS EXCLUDED MILLIONS FROM THIS RECALL THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO OPERATE WITH THIS DEFECT. I TOW A TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY FEAR OF THE DOWNSHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED MY VIN DID NOT SHOW UP UNDER ANY RECALLS, AND I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF "STIPULATIONS". I CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT FORD WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN CRITERIA, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME AT ALL MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS. IF A TRANSMISSION MODEL IS FAULTY, IT IS FAULTY REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND IT DISTURBING THAT FORD WILL ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEM FIXING THEM, OR WORSE STILL, PASSING OFF THE COST TO THE OWNERS, MANY OF WHOM CANNOT EASILY FORK OUT THE MONEY OR TIME TO HAVE THEM FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE.

MY VIN MATCHES THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, MANUFACTURING PLANT, AND MANUFACTURING DATES WITH THE RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT PARTS, BUT IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT SOME VEHICLES WERE LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL. EVEN WHEN FORD EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING THE FIX IS THE SAME AS THOSE ISSUED IN THE RECALL. VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND TO CHARGE SOMEONE $1,800 WHEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE, IS BEYOND SAD.

TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AND TRANSMISSION JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE. VERY SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ERROR CODE WHICH WAS P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT. I CHECKED MY VIN AND DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY TRUCK. I CALLED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS WHO TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND READ ON EDMONDS.COM, CARS.COM, AND NHTSA THAT FORD HAS A RECALL EFFECTING 2011 FORD F150S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION BUILT BETWEEN AUG 19TH, 2011 AND MARCH 09, 2012. MINE WAS BUILT WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION WITH A BUILD DATE OF SEP 6TH, 2011. BASED ON WHAT I READ AND THE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE RECALL I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED. I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE SO I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED CASE# CAF15213386. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE FIX APPLIED WHICH WAS TO UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE COSTING ME $180. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS WOULD NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM. TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY LEAD FRAME WHICH WOULD COST $1300 BUT THEY CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL NEXT WEEK. THE RECALL NOTICE I READ INDICATED THE PCM SOFTWARE WOULD BE NO COST UNDER THE RECALL AND IF CODE PRESENTED ITSELF FORD WOULD PROVIDE A ONE TIME REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAD FRAME AT NO CHARGE WITHIN 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WILL HAVE THE WORK DONE AND SAVE MY RECEIPTS IN HOPES THAT I WILL BE REIMBURSED AFTER THIS CASE AND FORD CASE ARE RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING ON I 70 HEADING TOWARDS KANSAS CITY, MO FROM INDEPENDENCE, MO, MY F-150 UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH. THERE WAS A LARGE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND MY TRUCK THAT ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHEN MY TRUCK SLAMMED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE TRACTOR TRAILER SWERVED INTO THE HIGH-SPEED LANE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. NO INJURIES OR COLLISIONS OCCURRED. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF MY TRANSMISSION. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BLUE SPRINGS, MO. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED UNDER THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT ON JUNE 28, 2011, WHICH FALLS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME STATED IN THE RECALL. THIS RECALL ALSO COVERS THE POWER TRAIN FOR UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFTS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS THROWN INTO A LOW GEAR AT A HIGH SPEED, IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE CREATED BLEW OUT THE TORQUE CONVERTOR AND FRONT SEAL OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REQUEST GUIDANCE FROM CORPORATE FORD ON THIS ISSUE AND IS REQUESTING $5,550 FOR A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY.

MOLDED LEAD-FRAME RECALL (16N02). THE OUTPUT FROM THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) IS INTERMITTENT. HOWEVER, IT IS RARELY OUT LONG ENOUGH FOR THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM.THE COMPUTER REQUIRES A LOSS OF THIS SIGNAL FOR A FULL 15SEC BEFORE IT WILL THROW A CODE. OTHERWISE IT WILL JUST CONTINUE TO REGISTER THE LAST REGISTERED SPEED. THE RESULT OF THE LOSS OF THE OSS IS VERY HARD SHIFTING WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND SOMETIMES TOTAL LOSS OF ANY GEARS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME IN A DAY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THIS HAS MADE IN-TOWN DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. THE LOSS OF THE OSS IN STRAIGHT STRETCHES IS USUALLY NOT NOTICEABLE UNLESS DRIVING WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON. WHILE ON CRUSE, THERE WILL BE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF SPEED REGULATION WHICH WILL RESUME IN A FEW SECONDS WHEN THE OSS RESUMES OPPERATION. THE FORD DEALER WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANY CODES IN THE COMPUTER. WE JUST PICKED UP THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 12/27/2017 WITH NO PROBLEMS FOUND OR REPAIRS DONE. THE TRUCK ACTED UP FOUR TIMES ON THE WAY BACK HOME THAT DAY.

IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN VEHICLES BEHIND US OR IF WE WERE GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY TOLD ME FORD WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AND HAVE IT SERVICED. WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURED.

I AM HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PLACE THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO. THERE IS A DELAY UNTIL IT ENGAGES INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. WHEN YOU DRIVE THERE IS A HARD SHIFT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. I DID CHECK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES AND THE ISSUE IS THE " TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR". I AM AFRAID THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING IT WILL DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER.

I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, DRIVE, AND ANY OTHER GEAR WITH DASH ILLUMINATION AND OPERATE THE VEHICLE. REVERSE WILL NOT SHIFT AND AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES IT FINALLY TAKES AND "JOLTS" BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING AND ALLOWS ME TO BACKUP. HOWEVER DASH LIGHT NEVER CHANGES AND AM UNSURE WHEN IT WILL SHIFT.

I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING WITH THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT VERY HARD AT RANDOM TIMES, ESPECIALLY SLOW SPEEDS. THE PAST FEW MONTHS, AFTER A RAIN THE TRANSMISSION WILL RUN IN 5TH GEAR ONLY. ONCE I DRIVE A FEW MILES, I CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A MINUTE AND IT WILL USUALLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. LAST WEEK, I WAS DRIVING STEADILY AT ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR! IT SMOKED THE REAR TIRES AND BOUNCED THE REAR AXLES UNTIL I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO A STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME OR IT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ONCE I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEIR SOLUTION IS ALWAYS TO "REFLASH" THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD BE SERIOUS ISSUE AND I'M NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT SPEED NOW....

ON 12 JANUARY 2017 WHEN RETURNING FROM A NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT A DEALERSHIP THE OPERATOR HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MARBLES IN A COFFEE CAN COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ERRATIC SHIFTS AND LOSS OF POWER. THESE CONDITIONS WERE REPORTED TO AND NOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S RECEPTIONIST TO BE FOLLOWED UP ON THE NEXT MORNING. ON 13 JANUARY 2017 ON THE COMMUTE TO WORK WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT ON A CITY THOROUGHFARE THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY FROM A HIGH GEAR AND SHUDDERED TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. THE INCIDENT WAS SO DRAMATIC THAT THE OPERATOR HAD ASSUMED THE DRIVESHAFT HAD BEEN LOST. THE OPERATOR LIMPED THE VEHICLE INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT WHERE THE DASHBOARD SHOWED VARIOUS WARNINGS (SEE EXHIBIT 1) AND A TOWING COMPANY WAS CALLED TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES AND THE WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND 42 F ON 13 JANUARY 2017. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS AN INTERNAL FAILURE BY USING CODES P0763, P0764, AND P0979, ALONG WITH REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION PAN WHICH SHOWED FINE METALLIC SHAVINGS (SEE EXHIBIT 2); THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

THE OPERATOR APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTICED THE RPMS ON THE TACHOMETER REACH APPROXIMATELY 5K TO 6K WITH NO ACCELERATION, AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE CONSOLE SHOWED 6TH GEAR. THE OPERATOR REMOVED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND GRADUALLY REAPPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL BUT RPMS AGAIN REACHED 5K TO 6K WITH NO ACCELERATION. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 SECONDS OF COASTING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE REGAINED NORMAL ACCELERATION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN A REAR-END COLLISION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 91,000 MILES AND THE WEATHER WAS 36 F WITH MIXED PRECIPITATION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE OPERATOR NOTES THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES AFTER PREVIOUSLY REPORTED NHTSA COMPLAINT NUMBER 10970618.

PREVIOUSLY AND BEFORE THE ISSUED RECALL, MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTED, SHUT OFF, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE COMPUTER JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET AND WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHARGE FOR THE INCURRED LABOR TIME. MORE RECENTLY, MY F150 HAS FAILED TO START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER SEVERAL REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND A STARTER REPLACEMENT, THE FORD DEALERSHIP NOW TELLS ME IT IS THE SENSOR ON THE VEHICLES LEAD FRAME AND THAT THE ENTIRE THING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

HOWEVER, MY MANUFACTURE DATE FELL A FEW MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL MANUFACTURE DATES.

ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE TO THIS POINT THE FIST RECALL THAT I BELIEVE APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE IS TSB 13-6-8, AND THE 2ND IS TSB 13-8-1.

ONCE AGAIN THIS VEHICLE IS NOW PART OF A FIELD SERVICE ACTION (15N05) FOR THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP, AND WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE ON 3/24/2017 TO SEE IF THEY WILL RESPOND IN THIS ACTION, AND ONCE AGAIN BRING THESE TSB'S TO THERE ATTENTION AS PREVIOUSLY DONE TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE TO AN ACCEPTABLE OPERATING STANDARD. IF FORD FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE TSB'S AND TO THE FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO SEE THESE REPAIRS TAKE PLACE, AND MY VEHICLE IS IN A SAFE AND PROPER WORKING FUNCTION?

A COMPLAINT WILL BE FLED WITH FORD MOTOR AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISRATATION AS WELL AS THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE THE TRUCK AND HONESTLY FEEL I CAN NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN. I WON'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO A SHOP AT THIS POINT.

JAN. 27, 2017 WE WERE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT GOT TO AROUND 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND STARTED BUCKING. WE COULD HARDLY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE. WE HAD NOT HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE THIS. IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. IN REGARD TO RECALL 16S19 AND 16N02, THE VEHICLE DID EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATED IN REGARD TO THE DOWNSHIFTING HOWEVER AS PER THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON THE PLANETARY GEARS WENT OUT AS WELL AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT CONSIDERABLE COST. FORD SERVICE INDICATED IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS FOR REPAIR AS THERE WERE OTHER TRANSMISSION JOBS IN FRONT OF OURS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS. WE MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AS WE COULD NOT BE WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS. FORD IS NOW REFUSING TO HELP PAY FOR REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT SINCE REPAIRS WERE NOT DONE AT A FORD CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP. WE EVEN KEPT THE TRANSMISSION FOR FORD TO TAKE A LOOK AT IN REGARD TO THIS RECALL...THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 104,000 MILES, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. TRUCK SHIFTS GEARS ERRATICALLY, REVERSE LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SHIFTING IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. AT TIMES THE REVERSE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING FORWARD. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURE DATE FOR THE RECALL BEGINS IN AUGUST OF 2011, MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN JUNE OF 2011. THEREFORE MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT FOR THIS ISSUE.

THE TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD WITH LOUD BANGS AND GRINDING NOISES. RPM'S GO UP AND DOWN AND THE TRUCK SOUNDS AS IF I DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST. THEN I CAN ONLY GO 40 MILES AN HOUR WITH HIGH RPMS.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK, WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, ONCE AGAIN I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT MERGE. WHEN I INITIALLY HAD THIS ISSUE 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO AUTO-NATION FORD IN WHITE BEAR LAKE MINNESOTA, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE OF SPARK PLUGS, WIRES AND COIL PACKS, FORD ALSO SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE INTER-COOLER. FORD FIXED ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ROUGHLY 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, BUT HERE WE ARE, MY TRUCK IS AT 100,XXX MILES AND THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE NOW BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD TWICE AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A LAKE! WHEN MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE HALF TON TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, (AUTO-NATION FORD) IN WHITE BEAR LAKE, WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO PAY IN FULL FOR ALL OF THESE ISSUES, WHICH FORD CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT. I KNOW FOR A FACT I AM NEVER BUYING A FORD AGAIN, MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY HAS NOW BEEN COMPROMISED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND FORD HAS NOT ONCE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OR OFFERED TO FIX THE ISSUE.

"UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS COULD FORCE A TEMPORARY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR," FORD SAID IN A STATEMENT. "DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, THE DRIVER COULD EXPERIENCE AN ABRUPT SPEED REDUCTION THAT COULD CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE OR LOCK UP. "THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." FORD SAID IT IS AWARE OF THREE ACCIDENTS, BUT NO REPORTS OF INJURIES, LINKED TO THE RECALL. AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION. THE INFO ABOVE IS COPIED FROM EDMUNDS.COM THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING. DRIVING 68MPH REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. TRUCKED FISHTAILED.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED STRAIGHT TO FIRST GEAR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE BEHIND US TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND NEARLY MISS AN ACCIDENT. IT STAYED IN FIRST GEAR DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS. ONLY GOT IT TO SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR AFTER PUTTING INTO MANUAL AND SHIFTING UP FROM THERE. THERE WAS A SEPARATE OCCURANCE WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO READ OUR SPEED (WAS AT 0 MPH FOR MILES) AND THE SCREEN WHERE ALL THE FUEL ECONOMY INFO SHOULD BE SHOWED BLANK SPACES. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR JUST THIS (WE WERE NOTIFIED BY OUR FORD APP) BUT WHEN I CALL OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED WITH A REMEDY YET. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OUR TRUCK IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE YET NOBODY IS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING AT THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL WAS ISSUED APRIL 25, 2016.

THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE INTERCOOLER AND THE SECOND TIME I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS. IT OCCURRED ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE IT'S REGULAR SERVICE. IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAPS ON THE PLUGS, AND THEY KNEW CARS WERE LOSING POWER BECAUSE OF IT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT AT THE SERVICE! #2: DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SPEEDOMETER JUMPED AROUND AND WENT TO ZERO. AFTER I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I LOST POWER AND HAD ERRATIC SHIFTING WHILE TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THERE'S A TSB OUT FOR THIS TOO!!

HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE PULLING MY CAMPER AND PASSING VEHICLES ON HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE PARKWAY THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST OR 2ND WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND HAD TO DRIVE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID THE COLLISION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR WARRANTY WORK ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 6TH 2016. I ONLY HAVE 3K MILES LEFT ON POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND NONE LEFT ON BUMPER TO BUMPER. I PURCHASE FORD VEHICLES CAUSE OF THERE LONG LASTING AND RELIABLE REPUTATION. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND WIFE THAT I EXPECT TO KEEP SAFE WHILE DRIVING THIS TRUCK.

I HAVE ATTACHED A DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM ROD BAKER FORD FOR HOW MANY TIMES THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN.

MY F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE BEGAN MISFIRING ON HARD ACCELERATION SITUATIONS, SUCH AS MERGING AND CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS, THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT OF MISFIRING UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION. THE JERKING FROM THE MISFIRE CONDITION IS QUITE VIOLENT, AND I BELIEVE TO BE UNSAFE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCKS INTERCOOLER. CONDENSATION BUILDS DURING PROLONGED HIGHWAY DRIVING, PARTICULARLY IN HUMID CLIMATES. I AM IN ARIZONA, BUT I DRIVE 50+ MILES A DAY ON THE FREEWAY. THE NHTSA DROPPED THEIR INVESTIGATION OF THIS UNSAFE CONDITION, APPARENTLY AGREEING THAT FORD'S TSB WAS SUFFICIENT IN DEALING WITH THE MATTER. MY TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT EXHIBITS A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS UNSAFE. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS? DISAPPOINTING.

THE RPM'S SPIKE TO 7000 AS THE TRUCK TRIES TO GET BACK INTO GEAR. I ALSO EXPERIENCED GOING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH GEAR WHILE STARTING OUT LEAVING ME STUCK OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT DOESNT HAVE THE RPM'S TO GET INTO 5TH GEAR. AFTER THE 1ST EXPERIENCE OF THIS HAPPENING I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE WEST HERR FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULDNT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. OVER HE NEXT MONTH THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES THIS TIME WITH THE KIDS IN THE TRUCK SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER HOWEVER THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE A VIDEO OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN IT WENT FROM 6 TO 2.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, I SAW MY SPEEDOMETER MOMENTARILY DROP TO 40MPH. IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER, AND DOWNSHIFTED TO ABOUT 4TH GEAR MOMENTARILY. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER, STILL AT 70MPH THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR! MY REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP, AND I LOST CONTROL, AND FISHTAILED FOR A FEW SECONDS. LUCKILY I HAD TAKEN A HALF DAY VACATION AND WAS NOT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. STILL OTHER CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM BEING HIT. THE DEARLERSHIP WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND REPLACED A MOULDED PLASTIC MODULE MADE BY CONTINENTAL THAT I THINK CONTAINED THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. SO IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL IS LOST, THE FAILURE MODE IS TO DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR NO MATTER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE.

THE TRUCK LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING TO A PASSING GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND YOU HAVE NO POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS CHANGED OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS EACH TIME. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT YET. *TR

AT MY HOUSE, THE DRIVEWAY IS SLOPED. I HAD JUST PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, BUT LEFT KEY IN ACCESSORY POSITION. MY TWO DAUGHTERS WERE IN BACK SEAT (3 AND 8 YEARS OLD) WATCHING A MOVIE. I WALKED INTO MY GARAGE TO DROP OFF COFFEE, WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK TO RETRIEVE PASTRIES AND THEN WALKED THEM INTO GARAGE. I WAS OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR 3-4 MINUTES. I WENT BACK TO TRUCK AND TOOK MY THREE YEAR OLD OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. SHE SITS IN REAR SEAT, PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD HER IN MY ARMS WHEN I OPENED PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR, REACHED ACROSS TO REMOVE KEYS. WHEN I REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION THE TRUCK BEGAN ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. MY 8 YEAR OLD WAS 1/2 OUT OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL. I QUICKLY PUT MY 3 YEAR OLD DOWN AND GRABBED THE 8 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A METAL CLICKING SOUND THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS ROLLING. TRUCK ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD. THEIR TREE STOPPED THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING FURTHER INTO THE YARD AND THEIR HOUSE. THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I WENT INSIDE TO START IT BACK UP TO MOVE IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I DROVE IT THE FORD DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. FORD DEALER AND FOMOCO WERE INVOLVED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. EVENTUALLY A 'SPECIALIST' WAS FLOWN IN TO LOOK AT TRUCK. IN THE END, THEY CLAIM THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL DEFAULTS AND THEREFORE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE FOR THE 3-4 MINUTES IT WAS ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I WAS BACK AND FORTH TO THE GARAGE. THEY ALSO HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR HOW THE TRUCK ROLLED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. END RESULTS IS FORD CLAIMS THEY NEVER REPAIRED OR MODIFIED MY TRUCK. I HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE THEY DID OR DID NOT REPAIR ANYTHING DURING THE PERIODS OF TIME THEY HAD MY TRUCK IN THEIR POSSESSION. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING 45 MPH ON DRY ROADS/GOOD VISIBILITY/GOOD WEATHER IN 6TH GEAR WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR AND FINALLY ENDED IN 1ST GEAR - DURING THIS TIME THE ENGINE RPMS EXCEEDED 6000 RPMS - I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE ENGINE RPM. NEEDLESS TO SAY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I THEN SHIFTED FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE AND ALL WAS WELL. LAST SUNDAY AFTER CHURCH THE TRANSMISSION WOULD AT FIRST NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST AND THEN WENT TO 5TH GEAR AND REMAINED IN 5TH GEAR TILL I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE.

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT LISTED BELOW (BEGINNING WITH SUMMARY): IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR IN HUMID OR RAINY CONDITIONS. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC. VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WOULD NOT MOVE. PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DID INCREASE ENGINE RPM BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE BEHAVIOR EXHIBITED BY THE VEHICLE SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONDENSATION PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF WITH THE 3.5 V6 ECOBOOST. HOWEVER NONE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES FORD CLAIMS CAUSES THE ISSUE EXISTED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION. WEATHER WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN COLD AND AFTER IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE. SUMMARY: WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES TO ACCESS INTERSTATE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE THEN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. RPM'S WENT UP TO 4000 RPM BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING IN EXCESS OF 50MPH. I MANAGED TO BARELY AVOID BEING STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND PULLED TO SIDE OF RAMP. VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED TWO FIXES INVOLVING SOME FORM OF AIR DAM. ON 02/24 VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING LUCKILY IN A PARKING LOT THIS TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH LEAVES NO ERROR CODES SO FAR. I AM SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAIN TS ONLINE. TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN ON 3/3/15 AS THE ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY 3/2/15. *TR

GENERALLY SPEAKING WITH A NEW VEHICLE I "BABY" A NEW VEHICLE UNTIL I GET OVER 75,000 MI. FIRST INCIDENT - NOTICED AROUND 40,000 MI. WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND DOESN'T HAVE POWER. THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS, TURBO LAG, OR INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION ISSUE. PROBLEM OCCURRED A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS, EVERY TIME WAS DURING ACCELERATION TO PASS OR MERGE ON TO EXPRESSWAY CONDITIONS. KEEP IN MIND SINCE I WAS IN THE BABYING MILEAGE RANGE I RARELY PERFORMED SUCH ACCELERATION. BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF OCCURRENCES, I DISCUSSED THIS WITH A FRIEND THAT ALSO OWNS AN ECOBOOST AND HE THOUGHT THE SAME REASONS. I HAVE 7 YEAR 100,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I THOUGHT I WOULD WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURRED FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO EASILY TROUBLE SHOOT. OF COURSE FREQUENCY WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH UNTIL AFTER I GET OUT OF THE "BABY" STAGE ON MILEAGE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 75,000 MILES. I NO LONGER BABY IT. PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE TO PASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC FROM RAMP. THE RAMP OCCURRENCE APPEARS TO BE WHEN I'M AT A SPEED AND THEN ACCELERATE. NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. I'M CONCERNED THIS MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIAL A LIFE THREATENING OR CHANGING EVENT. WHAT IS ONE LIFE WORTH? I GUESS THAT DEPENDS ON IF ITS YOURS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING EVENT AND KNOW THAT DRIVERS LIKE MYSELF ONCE AWARE PAY ATTENTION AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND THIS IS THE REASON THERE HASN'T BEEN LIFE LOST, OR NO ONE HAS PROVEN THIS WAS THE ROOT CAUSE TO ACCIDENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED. I FEAR FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT THEY MAY DISCOVER IT AT THE WRONG TIME. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP. *TR

2011 F-150 XLT WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR OTHER TIMES WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE BEHAVES LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL THEN WILL SUDDENLY SHOOT BACKWARDS (DOES THIS IN DRIVE AS WELL-FORWARD). WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BACKUP LAMPS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT FUNCTION AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT DISPLAY THE WHAT STATUS THE VEHICLE IS IN...IE DRIVE/REVERSE ETC.... I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO IMMEDIATELY INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #12V190000). HE PRINTED THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND RECALL INFO. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD WHERE I WAS TOLD MY VIN # DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL DESPITE THE FACT IT'S THE SAME EXACT MODEL TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE, AND ISSUE TO THE LETTER. IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT MANY MORE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED BEYOND THE INITIAL RECALL.

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LIMPED UP THE HILL AT A WHOPPING 20MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. ONCE ON THE DOWNGRADE THE VEHICLE CAME BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE POWER ISSUES AND A KNOCKING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN I WAS CLIMBING HILLS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE APPARENT MISS AND KNOCKING SOUND AT CERTAIN RPM'S AND NOW HAS AN ISSUE STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE WHEN THE STARTING ISSUE WAS HAPPENING AND THEY TOLD ME AGAIN THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAD NO CODES TO EXPLAIN THIS PROBLEM. I TRIED ALL OF THE EASY FIXES BUT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE SAME STARTING AND POWER LOSS ISSUES AND FORD CAN NOT TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE.

I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST IDLE. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 1/2 MILE THE ENGINE AGAIN LOST POWER. I AGAIN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL HOME (APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES). ALL THE WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON STEADY. A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED WHILE TOWING A 30 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER WHILE ON THE I-80 FREEWAY NEAR RAWLINGS WYO.IN JUNE, 2014, ALTHOUGH THAT TIME THE ENGINE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF.

I SEARCHED ON LINE FOR RECALLS AND ON THE 2011S THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. I FOUND 5 RECALLS ON 2011S F150:1 RECALL ID 68928 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,2 RECALL ID 90589 EXTERIOR LIGHTING,3 RECALL ID 84274 STRUCTURE BODY,4 RECALL ID 91590 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION,5 RECALL ID 90588 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED MY TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE VALVE BODY WIRING HARNESS IS BAD AND THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $850.00 TO REPAIR. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011 MODELS BUT NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ITS SERIOUS. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING 75 MPH AND MY REAR LOCKED UP ON ME,IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP INCLUDING INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AND POSSIBLE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANKS *TR

THE ECOBOOST ENGINE FORD INTRODUCED INTO THE F150 (AND OTHER VEHICLES) IN 2011 SEEMS TO BE HAVING COMMON AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS, INCLUDING MY VEHICLE. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 63,000 MILES. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS REVEALED UNDER ANY ACCELERATION "EVENT" SUCH AS HIGHWAY MERGING, PASSING, TOWING ETC. UNDER ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE "CHOKES" AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS THE DRIVER & PASSENGERS EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE STALLING, SHUDDERING OR BUCKING. THIS IS OFTEN DESCRIBED AS THE VEHICLE GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" OPERATING ON FEWER THAN ALL CYLINDERS. THE PROBLEMS APPEAR TO STEM FROM DYSFUNCTIONAL INTERCOOLER OPERATION ON THIS TWIN TURBO ENGINE. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS DESCRIBED IN F150 BLOGS. ONE, MOST COMMON, IS THAT THE COOLING OF THE AIR VIA THE INTERCOOLER CAUSES CONDENSATION TO ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE AIR INTAKE. WHEN THE DRIVER ACCELERATES, THE INCREASE IN AIR VOLUME DRAWS THE MOISTURE INTO THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE, WHICH THE DRIVER EXPERIENCES AS AN ENGINE STALL, BUCKING OR SHUDDERING. THE SECOND SCENARIO REPORTED IS THAT THERE IS AN OVERHEATING OF AIR INTO THE FUEL DELIVER SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES EARLY DETONATION OF THE FUEL MIXTURE IN THE CYLINDERS CAUSING ROUGHLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS. MY VEHICLE REPAIRS ARE COSTING ME ALMOST $700.00 - WHICH WOULD BE MORE IF I DID NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALER IS REPLACING 6 SPARK PLUGS, 4 COIL BOOTS THAT HAVE OVERHEATED AND CRACKED, INSTALLING A NEW INTERCOOLER SHIELD - NONE OF WHICH THEY ARE STANDING BY AS A DEALER COVERED EXPENSE. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN FOR BOTH CONSUMER SAFETY AND FINANCIAL REASONS. SOMEONE MAY BE KILLED TRYING TO PASS OR ENTER A HIGHWAY AS THEIR VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER. *TR

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE MISFIRING AT MODERATE TO HARD ACCELERATION. THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME. AS I HAVE TALKED WITH FORD MECHANICS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ONCE YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE YOU EXPERIENCE A SOMETIMES VIOLENT STUTTER AND THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING BUT INSTEAD SOUNDING LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE.

I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AFTER PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE. I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR FIRMLY TO GAIN SPEED TO GET INTO TRAFFIC. MY TRUCK STALLED WITH A PINGING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND AN UNCHARACTERISTIC BLACK SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING MY TRUCK ON MY DAUGHTERS SIDE. THE TRUCK RECOVERED BUT ONLY GRADUALLY PICKED UP SPEED WITH VERY LITTLE POWER. IT WAS A LOW CONSTANT ACCELERATION. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY TRUCK BUT THIS TIME IT ENDANGERED MY DAUGHTER SO I FEEL THAT I NEED TO SPEAK OUT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE MY 1.5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

I AM GLAD THAT WE WERE NOT IN A SITUATION THAT WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THE THROTTLE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT RESPOND, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT A ROUGH IDLE. WE HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. STOPPED TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, IT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS WORKING AGAIN. WE DROVE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. AT THE FORD DEALER THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS WHEN WE WERE GOING 55 MPH. COASTED TO SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND DROVE VERY CAREFULLY TO THE FORD DEALER. THIS TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A CODE READING OF THE PROBLEM. THE CODE CALLED FOR A RECALIBRATION. THIS WAS DONE. DROVE THE TRUCK HOME THINKING THAT IT WAS REPAIRED. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING 75MPH. LUCKILY WE WERE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. REPEATED SAME PROCEDURE AS ABOVE. RETURNED TO THE FORD DEALER. THIS TIME THEY READ THE CODE(P2112) AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE COULD HAVE VERY EASILY CAUSED A DEADLY CRASH. I FEEL THAT MY WIFE AND ARE VERY LUCKY AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

ON THE NIGHT OF DEC 20, 2013, I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I81 NORTH OF SYRACUSE NY. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT VERY GOOD. A BLOCK OF ICE FELL OFF A TRUCK AHEAD OF ME, EVASIVE ACTION WAS NOT POSSIBLE DUE TO ICE AND TRAFFIC VOLUME. THE ICE STRUCK THE ALTERNATOR WHICH IS CLEVERLY POSITIONED ABOUT 10" OFF THE GROUND ON THE LOWER LEFT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM BY SYSTEM. I CANT RECALL THE EXACT SEQUENCE, AS IT WAS ALL HAPPENING PRETTY FAST. EVENTUALLY, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOST POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THIS VEHICLE, YOU LOSE ALL STEERING CAPABILITY. ITS NOT LIKE ITS JUST MANUAL STEERING, THERE IS NO STEERING OTHER THAN THE ABILITY TO SLIGHTLY ALTER COURSE BY PULLING EXTREMELY HARD ON THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NO LIGHTS, THE SHOULDERS WERE UNPLOWED, STOPPING WASN'T A GOOD IDEA. AS GOOD FORTUNE WOULD HAVE IT, THE CICERO NY EXIT PRESENTED ITSELF AT THAT MOMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD ON THE WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE SLIGHT CURVE. AT THE BOTTOM, I DISCOVERED I HAD NO BREAKS. I SHOT ACROSS THE USUALLY BUSY NY 31 AND INTO A KWIKSTOP, WHERE I STOMPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CAME TO A STOP. WE SHORTLY DISCOVERED A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND WERE ABLE TO EXTINGUISH IT WITH SNOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE A STEERING SYSTEM LIKE THIS IS PERMITTED. HAD I KNOWN IT HAD THIS SYSTEM AND ITS LIMITATIONS, ID NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. IF MY SON AND I HAD BEEN KILLED THAT NIGHT, IT WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN CHALKED UP TO ROAD CONDITIONS. IN FURIOUS ABOUT THIS SYSTEM. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.....NOW. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA WHEN MY 2011 FORD 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST F150 TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE 10 HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, PROBABLY 60 MILES TO THE EAST OF TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, AS THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED OUT. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE STARTED. WE HAD BEEN STEADY STATE CRUISING WITH THE CRUISE SET AT 70 FOR ATLEAST 2-2.5 HOURS. AFTER DOING SOME READING I SEE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CONDENSATION IN THE INTERCOOLER THAT ENTERED THE INTAKE TRACT WHEN I HAD ACCELERATED TO GO AROUND A BIG TRUCK THAT WAS BARELY MAKING IT UP A HILL ON INTERSTATE 10. THIS WAS A REAL BAD EXPERIENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST 2 TIMES SINCE THEN. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD A WRECK OR CRASHED, BUT AS I KEEP READING UP, I SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ECOBOOST F150. NOW, I HAVE A TRUCK IN THE SHOP WITH A BLOWN MOTOR, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THE WATER GETTING INTO THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR TRYING TO COMPRESS THAT WATER WAS WHAT CAUSED MY ENGINE FAILURE. I METAL FROM THE INTERNAL ROTATING ASSEMBLY SHOOT THROUGH THE SIDE OF MY ENGINE BLOCK LAST WEEK. I BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED DUE TO THE WATER AND THE WATER BENDING THE CONNECTING RODS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

LOSS OF POWER BRAKES UPON INITIAL START-UP AND MOVEMENT. THE VACUUM PUMP THAT PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO POWER BRAKES AND 4X4 WHEEL HUBS FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE. DRIVER EXPECTS TO STOP VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL. VEHICLES DOES NOT RESPOND TO NORMAL FORCE AND KEEPS MOVING. EXTREME FORCE TO BE PROVIDE TO BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW VEHICLE TO A STOP. THIS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH IF ANOTHER PERSON IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE. FORD WILL NOT RECALL OR COVER REPAIRS OF FAULTY PUMP. PUMP IS LOCATED BEHIND FRONT HEADLIGHT ON VEHICLE. COST OF PART IS $565 + LABOR TO REPAIR TO BE PAID BY OWNER. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR PERSONS NEAR VEHICLE WITHOUT PROPER OPERATION OF BRAKING SYSTEM. AN INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED IMMEDIATELY UPON FORD. UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FORD REDESIGNED VACUUM SYSTEM FOR 2014 MODEL YEAR TO CORRECT SAFETY ISSUE. REDESIGN SHOULD BE MANDATED ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS TO CORRECT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE ECO BOOST V 6 MOTOR STARTED MISSING UNDER ACCELERATION CAUSING MASSIVE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK THE TRUCK TO FRIENDLY FORD IN SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI FOR IMMEDIATE REPAIRS.

RETURNING HOME FROM A WEEKEND CAMPING TRIP WITH MY FAMILY AND PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER VIA I-81 IN VA, I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR APPROACHING A LONG HILL, AND ABRUPTLY LOST ALL ENGINE AND DRIVE POWER, THE ENGINE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO LOWER GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED A FEW TIMES. WE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AND I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE 2ND LANE FROM THE RIGHT AND HAD TO QUICKLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE THEN TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE PULLING A 34' TRAVEL TRAILER. I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP COMPLETELY TO REGAIN CONTROL. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF BEFORE IT RETURNED TO SOMEWHAT NORMAL DRIVABILITY. WHILE CONTINUING TO CLIMB THE UPHILL GRADE, THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND HESITATED CONSTANTLY. I COULD ONLY APPLY GENTLY PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOVING. ONCE OVER THE HILL THE VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL DRIVABILITY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON RT-4 IN MD WITH MY WIFE, AND NOT PULLING A TRAILER. THIS TIME I DIDN'T SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, BUT HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER TO REGAIN CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER. AS I CONTINUED ON RT4 THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND HESITATED SEVERAL MORE MILES. ONCE AT MY DESTINATION I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN UPON DEPARTURE THE VEHICLE OPERATED MORE NORMAL, BUT EXPERIENCED MISFIRE AND HESITATIONS SEVERAL MILE RETURNING HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY, BUT I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AND MAKES ME VERY LEARY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON A NORMAL BASIS.

THE "MISS" WAS SO SEVERE WITH A K&N AIR CHARGER HIGH-FLOW INTAKE KIT INSTALLED THAT I HAD TO REINSTALL THE STOCK SYSTEM. THIS WAS A NONE ISSUE EVENTUALLY BECAUSE THE FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PLACE THE VEHICLE ON DIAGNOSTICS UNTIL I HAD REINSTALLED THE STOCK KIT.

WELL I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY TRUCKS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM FORD. WELL IN AUGUST OF 2011 I PURCHASED THE NEW F150 WITH ECOBOOST. THE TRUCK DROVE LIKE A DREAM FOR A WHILE THEN I STARTED HAVING ISSUE, WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THEN ENGINE LOSING POWER. THIS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIME DURING THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK.THE LAST TIME WAS IN JANUARY 2013, IT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR ME. THE REPROGRAMMED THE TRANS/COMPUTER AND PUT A WIND DEFLECTOR IN THE FRONT OF THE INTERCOOL. STILL LOST POWER ON A ROAD TRIP ON THE WAY BACK HOME FROM S CAROLINA. MIND YOU THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR TRAN/ENGINE/THE RIGHT FENDER HAD TO BE ADJUSTED IT WAS MISALIGNED, THE BED OF THE TRUCK SAME THING. THIS LOST OF POWER ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO HAD TO SUNROOF REPLACED AS IT WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE TRUCK WHEN MOVING. THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK WAS REPLACED AND THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW IN THE BACK WAS REPLACED TOO. THE DEFROST STOPPED THEN THE WINDOW STOPPED SLIDING. I STOPPED DRIVING THE TRUCK SO I COULD GET RID OF IT I HAVE A 2013 LIMITED AND HAVE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUE. NOW THAT I HAVE A NEW 2013 VEHICLE I EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 40

LOSS OF SIGNIFICANT POWER UNDER SLIGHT TO MODERATE ACCELERATION, ENGINE SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY, SHAKES AND MISS-FIRES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES. ENGINE SEEMS TO RUN ON 50% POWER LOSS, LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR FOR AWHILE THEN ENGINE SEEMS TO RECOVER TEMPORARILY UNTIL ADDITIONAL POWER IS NEEDED. UNABLE TO HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE TO PASS ANY VEHICLES ON GRADES. QUITE POSSIBLE FOR COMPLETE POWER LOSS UNDER FULL ACCELERATION AS THE ENGINE MISSES SO BAD THAT IT ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN AND LOOSES RPM'S. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE NEW. SYMPTOMS STARTED IN DRY CLIMATE, NO RAIN AND HAVE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AS I HAVE ENTERED INTO RAINY AREAS WITH HUMIDITY. *TR

SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE ENGINE LOSING POWER WHILE TOWING A CAMPER OVER 100+ MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEN ADDING POWER TO CLIMB A HILL. DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, OVER A 1.5-2 HRS DRIVE, APPROACHING A HILL WHILE TOWING A CAMPER, ACCELERATED TO CLIMB THE HILL AND THE VEHICLE AGAIN, DROPPED FROM 65 TO 40 MPH IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. ENGINE STUTTERED AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE CONTROL TO GAIN SPEED TO CLIMB THE HILL. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP NO PROBLEM FOUND, ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THERE WAS AN INEFFICIENT CATALYTIC REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS OCCURRED POST HAVING THE ECOBOOST FIX THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY STATED WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT IS STILL OCCURRING.

MISFIRE - SHIFTING ISSUES IN TRANSMISSION. *TR

Mileage: 15,000

ECOBOOST ENGINE. LOUD CLATTERING ON COLD START. RUNS VERY ROUGH, EXHIBITS PROPENSITY TO STALL WHEN IDLING, AND VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION COUPLED WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. EXAMPLE 1: COASTING ON THE FREEWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND 40MPH, SHIFTED LANES, THEN MADE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DOWNSHIFT. ACCELERATOR WILL BE DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND TRUCK WILL REMAIN STUCK IN A LOW GEAR (LIKE 6TH) AND GO NOWHERE...ZERO ACCELERATION...AFTER A FEW MORE TRIES, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLAM INTO 2ND GEAR, SHAKING THE ENTIRE TRUCK. AT THIS POINT, THE TURBOS KICK IN AND THE TRUCK TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET. CREATES 2 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, A POTENTIAL REAR-END ACCIDENT BY THE LANE CHANGE WITHOUT ACCELERATION, AND THEN THE SUDDEN, RAPID, UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION OF BEING RANDOMLY THROWN INTO 2ND GEAR. SEEN VARIOUS OTHER INCIDENTS LIKE THIS IN OTHER SCENARIOS AND VARIOUS GEARS. ACCELERATING OUT OF A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, OR OUT OF A TURN, IS AN EASY WAY TO SEE THE PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS BASICALLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE/DOWNSHIFT ON DEMAND. EXAMPLE 2: STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I THEN PROCEED INTO INTERSECTION...ACCELERATION IS VERY SLOW, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TURBOS KICK IN RESULTING IN RAPID UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION. OFTEN TIMES, THE WHEELS WILL SPIN, AND IF THE ROAD IS DRY, THE TRUCK WILL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ALL OVER THE ROAD! ACCELERATOR WILL IN THE SAME POSITION THE ENTIRE TIME. I HAVE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TOWARDS CARS THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO GET THAT CLOSE TO. I NOW HAVE TO STAY EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM CARS TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION. FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS FREQUENT NOW, BUT INCONSISTENT. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN BOOSTER SEATS, AND NOW I HAVE TO BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN I DRIVE WITH THEM IN THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 12/2011 WITH 19,800 MILES ON IT (IT WAS MANF. 12/2010, SOLD IN ORLANDO,FL IN 01/2011 AND TRADED IN 10/2011 AND WAS USED AS A RENTAL TRUCK) AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED (CPO) FROM MAROONE FORD MARGATE FL. THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED <5MPH THE SHIFT BETWEEN 1-2 WOULD SOMETIMES BE REAL HARD (ENGINE @ 3000RPM+) SO THIS DEALER CHECKED AND 'FIXED' IT WITH GREASING THE 2 PART DRIVE SHAFT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WRONG GREASE WAS USED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT AND NEEDED TO USE A NEW GREASE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AROUND THE END OF 2012(AROUND 35K MILES) AND MAROONE FORD MIAMI 'FIXED' IT AGAIN BY GREASING THE DRIVE SHAFT. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN (8/2013) AND THIS TIME THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT STILL HAPPENS AND I AM GOING TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP THAT IS NOT MAROONE/AUTONATION AND SEE IF THEY CAN 'FIX' MY PROBLEM. ALSO I AM READING THAT NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE LIGHTS RAPID FLASHING BUT NOT THE PASS SIDE OR WHEN THE HAZARDS ARE ON SO I GOOGLED AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND THAT I HAVE FOUND IS BEHIND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SEATS ON A SUPER CREW. THE DEALERSHIP (MAROONE/AUTONATION) HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CHECK IF MY VEHICLE WAS ON A RECALL AS FAR AS I KNOW AND NOW I HAVE TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND ALSO BRING THIS UP (AND I DOUBT THEY WOULD EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT EITHER). I WAS TOLD BY MAROONE/AUTONATION THAT IF ANYTHING IS FOUND TO LET THEM KNOW. WHAT? I HAVE TO PAY TO LET THEIR TECHS KNOW THEIR JOB? FORD SHOULD NEVER HAVE DONE A 2 PIECE DRIVER SHAFT WITH A SLIP YOKE OR QUIT WITH THINGS LIKE THE MECHANICAL FLASHER RELAYS EVEN WITH PWM/CANBUS. THIS NOW BECOMES EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO GO OUT AND BUY A NEW VEHICLE. NEXT TIME WILL BE A TOYOTA BECAUSE THEY ARE DRIVEN IN THE DESERTS AROUND THE WORLD, NOT FORDS. *TR

SIX MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK I NOTICED A SHUTTERING AND HESITATION WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SHUTTERING HAPPENS WHEN I AM CRUISING AT 55-60 MPH. MORE NOTICEABLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS CLIMBING A SLIGHT INCLINE ON THE ROAD WHILE LIGHTLY ACCELERATING TO MAINTAIN 60 MPH. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND I WENT FOR A RIDE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE NOTICED THE SHUTTERING. HE SAID THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO CODES TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FINALLY THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE ENGINEERS ARE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED SO HARD I THOUGHT I GOT REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY HUSBAND WAS PULLING OUT INTO A CENTER TURN LANE IN ORDER TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND THE MOTOR CUT OUT AND BOGGED DOWN. JUST FOUR DAYS LATER, I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WHERE THE MOTOR COMPLETELY CUT OUT WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH A YIELD SIGN, SLOWING DOWN, AND THEN GETTING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE SPEED. I COUNTED BETWEEN 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAD SOMEONE BEEN RIGHT BEHIND ME IT COULD'VE BEEN A BAD WRECK. IT HAPPENED TO ME THIS FIRST TIME RIGHT AFTER I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEM TELLING ME MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE TSB WITH REPLACING THE CAC (INTERCOOLER) AND ADDING THE AIR DEFLECTOR PLATE. I HAVE SINCE GONE TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE PERFORMING THE TSB FOR ME AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 5 DAYS NOW, AND BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM EASILY. I HOPE THIS FIXES IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS LEAKS ALL UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY - FRONT MAIN SEAL, TRANSMISSION LEAK, REAR DIFF LEAK, AND EVEN SOME DETERIORATING RUBBER GASKETS IN THE DOORS, AND AM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING FORD'S QUALITY THESE DAYS. *TR

AFTER CRUISING AT 50 MPH FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, TEMPERATURE OF 87 DEGREES WITH HIGH HUMIDITY, I ATTEMPTED TO PASS THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED NICELY, THEN STUMBLED, STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, INDICATING A MISFIRE. PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER 30 SECONDS AND TRUCK RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

THIS TRUCK HAS THE 3.5 LITER V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE TRUCK IS COMPANY OWNED BY WL HALL CO. I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER THEN STARTED TO SHAKE, SHUDDER AND JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STARTED TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 9,700 MILES, 28,000 MILES AND 60,000 MILES. FORD HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE THREE TIMES. THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE A FOURTH TIME. DUE TO IMPROPER PERFORMANCE, THIS ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THIS LAST TIME. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE IT DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND DROPPED POWER, BUT THEN THE VEHICLE CORRECTED ITSELF. *TR

JUST PURCHASED USED FORD F150 SUPERCREW WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE WITH 26,000+ MILES A WEEK AGO. I FIRST NOTICED A SHUDDER IN THE REAR END WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY A COUPLE DAYS AGO. FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER A WASHBOARD. DID NOT PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO IT AS I HAD NOT NOTICED IT BEFORE. WENT ON 575 MILE TRIP OVER THE WEEKEND AND THIS SHUDDERING PERSISTED WHILE PULLING UP TO STOPS AND STARTING OUT, BOTH TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT. ONLY OCCURS 65% OF THE TIME BUT THE SHUDDERING IS VERY INTENSE AT LOW SPEED BUT APPEARS TO GET BETTER AT CRUISING SPEEDS. YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL THE SHUDDERING. *TR

WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY TODAY IN MIAMI, AT ABOUT 35 MPH, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE MERGING LANE, AT WHICH TIME (FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2011) THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE (A 3.5L ECOBOOST) AND BEGAN TO SPUTTER, SHAKE, AND DECELERATE. LUCKILY FOR MYSELF AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD I DID LEAVE A SUFFICIENT GAP BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CAR TO MY REAR TO GIVE THAT VEHICLE TIME TO REACT TO WHAT EQUATES TO A VEHICLE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF HIM/HER AND GENTLY PRESSING THE BRAKES WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGING. MY TRUCK HOVERED BETWEEN 25 AND 30 MPH FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH IT DOING THE SPUTTERING AND SLOWING THING EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. AFTER PRETTY MUCH COASTING FOR 30 OR SO SECONDS, THE TRUCK SPRANG BACK TO LIFE AND DROVE AS ADVERTISED. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND I (AS WELL AS OTHERS) BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A NEW TRUCK, I'D JUST LIKE THE PROBLEM FIXED. EVEN THOUGH NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DUE TO THIS "YET", YOU CAN SEE THE DANGER OF HAVING YOUR ENGINE LOOSE POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, ALL FORD SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED WITH IS THE LOSS OF A BUCK......NOT THE LOSS OF A LIFE!!!

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHTHAND LANE OF THE EAST BOUND SIDE OF I24 AROUND MANCHESTER, TN. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH. I SUDDENLY CAME UP UPON SLOWER TRAFFIC IN THE SAME LANE AND SIGNALED TO PASS THE SLOWER TRAFFIC. AS I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS FOR TRAFFIC BEHIND ME I NOTICED ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSING ON ME IN A HURRY. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND MAKE THE PASS. THE VEHICLE LURCHED AND THE MOTOR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PASS. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME LOCKED THEIR BRAKES AND MANAGED TO SLOW THEIR VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE POSSIBLY COLLIDING WITH ME. I LET THE SLOWER TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT PASS AND SIGNALED TO GET BACK IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME AND I THINK THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY THIS COULD ENDANGER LIVES AND PROPERTY IF NOT CORRECTED. MY 2011 FORD F-150 IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST V6. *TR

I PULLED OUT TO PASS AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACTED AS IF THE GAS WAS SHUT OFF. IT THEN BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER VIOLENTLY AS IF THE REAR AXEL WAS BEING RIPPED FROM BENEATH IT. I WAS ABLE TO FALL BACK BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS, OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK, IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECH INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND STATED IT IS A PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF (IN WET CONDITIONS), BUT HAS NO FIXES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE FROM A REST STOP INTO A SINGLE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THE WEATHER WAS COOL (45 DEGREES F), DRY AND SUNNY.

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION INTO TRAFFIC OR WHEN PASSING, VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND GO INTO A "LIMP MODE." THIS CONDITION IS THOUGHT TO OCCUR BECAUSE OF ENGINE MISFIRE AND SEVERAL FACTORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT CAN CAUSE THIS IN THE ECOBOOST 3.5L V6. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED IGNITION COILS WITH NO SUCCESS IN CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. MY SERVICE MANAGER SHARED WITH ME THAT FORD ENGINEERING IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS YET TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO CORRECT IT. IN THE MEANTIME, MY FAMILY IS PLACED AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT WHEN THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST FOR PASSING OR MERGING SITUATIONS.

I MADE A LEFT TURN FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP, AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON A MODERATE RATE, THE ENGINE "TOOK OFF" (UNINTENDED ACCELERATION) AND IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO ~50+MPH. I SWITCHED TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SLOWED DOWN TO THE SPEED LIMIT, ~35 MPH. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK ON THE FLOOR MAT (IT WASN'T). I REENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ACCELERATION STARTED IMMEDIATELY AGAIN. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN A STRETCH OF ABOUT 2 MILES OR SO, UNTIL I HAD A CLEAR, SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AT LEAST NOT THAT I COULD NOTICE. AFTER I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND STARTED UP AGAIN THINGS WERE FINE. I TRIED TO "RECREATE" THE SITUATION BY SUDDENLY ACCELERATING, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 FORD F-150 PICKUP WITH 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. *TR

2011 FORD F-150 RAPTOR SUPERCAB; <12,000MI, HAPPENING SINCE NEW. AT SLOWER SPEEDS, WHEN TRANSMISSION IS ALLOWED TO SHIFT UP TO AT LEAST 3RD GEAR AND BACK DOWN FOR A SLOW MANEUVER AND/OR STOP, UNDER NORMAL RE-ACCELERATION CONDITIONS (NORMAL- <2000RPM), AS VEHICLE ACCELERATES AND SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND, IT WILL SEEM TO PRESUME A 1/2 TO 1 SECOND "NEUTRAL" STATE, REVVING RPM'S PRIOR TO ENGAGING SECOND GEAR WITH A VERY ABRUPT AND PRONOUNCED "SLAM" SHAKING ENTIRE TRUCK. SYMPTOMS CAN BE SLIGHTLY ALLEVIATED OR AVOIDED BY LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR PRIOR TO SHIFT, ALLOWING TO COAST UP TO SECOND GEAR THROUGH SELF POWER AT IDLE RPM. NOT FEASABLE FOR NORMAL EVERY DAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY LACK OR SUDDEN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE. *JS

WHEN I STARTED UP MY F-150 SUPER CREW CAB WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE THE SERVICE ADVANCED TRACK WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. AS I WAS DRIVING WITH THIS ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASH I FOUND THAT MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT STAY ON UNLESS I HOLD THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER. LATER THAT DAY I WENT TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER TO SHOW THEM THE ISSUE AND THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE TURN SIGNALS WERE NOW FUNCTIONING FINE. SINCE THE ERROR WAS NO LONGER ON THE FORD DEALER COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE ERROR STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS AND THEN CAME ON AGAIN. NOW IT HAS BEEN COMING ON ABOUT EVERY 3 OR 4 DAYS SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE RACK AND PINION STEERING ASSEMBLY AND HAVE REPLACED THAT. I JUST GO THE TRUCK BACK AND HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO CONFIRM THAT THE ISSUE IS FIXED HOWEVER MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS NOT THERE AS THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN ON THIS TRUCK THAT APPEAR TO BE "COMPUTER" RELATED SINCE SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK (OR AS I PUT IT REBOOTING) WILL CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TT

VEHICLE HAS FORD'S SELECTSHIFT TRANSMISSION - WHEN IT IS PUT IN "M" MODE AND THEN GEAR 1 IS SELECTED, IT WILL BEHAVE NORMALLY UP TO ABOUT 3000 RPM. ABOVE 3000 RPM, IT WILL NOT SLOW DOWN IF THE DRIVER'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR. IF THE SLOPE OF THE ROAD CHANGES, IT WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE AS THOUGH IT WAS STILL GOING UPHILL, INCREASING SPEED WITHOUT ANY DRIVER INPUT. IT WILL RETURN TO NORMAL BEHAVIOR IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS LOCKED INTO 1ST GEAR AND IN THE M POSITION (NOT D). *TT

I HAVE A 2011 F150 WITH THE 3.5 ECOBOOST. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ROUGH 3-4 UPSHIFTS SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ROUGH SHIFT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENGINE STUMBLE ON ME TWICE WILL TRYING TO PASS. I HAVE READ OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND AM HOPING FORD WILL HAVE A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN A WRECK. *KB

F150 ECOBOOST WHILE GOING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE AT ABOUT 50 MPH IN DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED DOWN A COUPLE OF GEARS THEREBY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP TO OVER 3,500 RPM. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BACK UP ONE STEP AT A TIME TO THE 6TH GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ANOTHER ANOMALY HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. WHILE SLOWING DOWN SLIGHTLY THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY 'CLUNKS' AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING HAS RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IT'S LIKE A HARD SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR, HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO BE 6TH AND THE SPEED IS AROUND 60 MPH.. *TR

UPON ACCELERATION MY TRUCK SHIFTED ROUGHLY SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN, THEN THE WRENCH SHOWED UP AND I HAD TO DRIFT TO SIDE OF ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THEY HAVE DONE A COMPUTER UPDATE 1ST TIME, NO LUCK, REPLACED A LOOSE PIN,NO LUCK, REPLACED COMPUTER , NO LUCK, REPLACED CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, NO LUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY EVENT. TWO TIMES MY TRUCK STALLED AND SHUT OFF WHILE MERGING ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY HIGHWAY. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY TRUCK AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH FORD BUT ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS KEEP FIXING IT. 44,000 TRUCK , TRANSMISSION STINKS AND I WANT A REFUND. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
