2012 FORD F-150 Power Train Problems

Driving along I-94, 2012 F150 downshifted immediately from 5 gear to 1 gear. There was no previous issues and no warning lights and codes. Caused significant drive issues and had to pull immediately to side of busy highway. Caused immediately backup and believed to have caused back up accident. After taking to dealership was told it was my Molded Lead Frame. Which had been under an extended warranty BUT since my vehicle is older than 10 years and over 150,000 it is not under warranty. Ford knows about the issued due to the extended warranty issued. However, that warranty still is not effective in taking a MAJOR defect off the roads.

I have a P0722-00 code which is the output shaft speed sensor which made my truck down shift and change gears while driving on the highway which was very dangerous me

2012 Ford F150 transmission lead frame internal failure causing intermittent harsh shifting. Highway speeds and truck shifting into 2/3 gear and almost causing wreck. Took it into shop for repair and they said I had a recall. However Inwas outside of recall period. Now I have to pay $2k to fix a for a known recall issue. Does should fix all vehicles with this known safety issue.

While driving 70 mph on the highway my truck suddenly downshifted into first gear causing the truck to go into a skid. The skid was recovered so nobody was injured but if it were a wet day or pulling a trailer, I doubt it could have been saved. The speedometer quit working and a wrench showed on the dash. Upon restarting the truck both of those issues were resolved but the truck continued to downshift into first gear at highway speeds. I called my local ford dealership, and they said there were no active recalls but that the PCM had already been reprogrammed. If the PCM had been reprogrammed, then this issue should not have happened unless there needs to be another update performed. They alerted me that there was a customer satisfaction program for the molded leadframe in the transmission that would cause this issue, but this is not a satisfaction issue it is a safety issue. If they replace the leadframe but there is never any change made to the way the transmission functions then when it eventually goes bad again the issue could come back, once again posing a major safety risk.

Check engine light , no speedometer , at times it won't shift , light for airbag would stay on .

Vehicle started getting stuck in different gears. Would drive fine for a little while and then get stuck causing you to pull over on going traffic. Having to sit for a while until it was ready to shift again. Would have to shift at manual at times to make it back home. You wouldn’t feel safe at times driving because you didn’t know what to expect anymore. Wrench light would come on and sometimes air bag light will come on as well.

When I was driving on the highway I was going about 65 mph in 6th gear and then without warning my 2012 Ford f150 3.5 truck shifted all the way down to 1st gear which almost caused me to wreck on the highway and other cars to almost slam into me. Now when I try to drive the truck it keeps throwing a wrench and the wrench blinks and my truck will not shift hardly at all between the gears. After I have researched this issue I see that there has been 4 recalls and a few CSP notices for the make and modle of my truck. The recall numbers are #19V075000, 12V190000, 16V248000, 12V198000 and the CSP campaign number is #16N02 regarding the lead frame issue that causes the extreme downshift. I contact the ford dealership to try and get this fixed and they said there is nothing they can do to help me.

I had an issue with the Transmission lead frame where my vehicle downshifted from 5th to 1st gear which to me is a safety issue. Notified Ford and they said this was a customer satisfaction program that expires after 10 years. How is this not a safety recall?? This could be very dangerous if you were on the interstate and you’re going 70 mph, please help.

I was just told my 2012 F-150 molded lead frame needed to be replaced. I google this issue and it seems to be a major issue with F150 pickups spanning multiple years. I checked this site for recalls and my truck is not included in any of the recalls, butexists the same issue on different year models. The recalls need to be expanded as the fault is not a consumer caused issue but a design flaw by Ford and it's outrageously expensive!!

While driving, wrench light comes on dash and I lose ability to accelerate. Have to turn truck off and on again to clear this problem but then it will continue to come back. Unsafe as it downshifts to first gear while driving. Doing research online, this is a common problem with Ford F150 and you issued campaign 19N01 in 2019 - Transmission Molded Leadframe Extended coverage. Problem is, this just started happening to my vehicle, and it looks like this extended warranty would have expired in 2022 or 2023. I purchased the truck used in 2020, but never knew about this. And since I wasn’t having these issues till a few weeks ago, I would not have been covered. I am writing as there are numerous other drivers having this same issue now after the warranty expired, and are having to pay $1500-$4000 out of pocket to fix a known issue. This seems like it should be a recall fixed free of charge, no matter when it starts happening. Just because it happens now vs before 2022-2023 does not make the issue any less serious. This can still cause accidents. Is there any solution to having this covered by Ford? Can the campaign be extended or just be turned into a repair recall?

I was proceed up to 45mph, when back tires started sliding. I rolled the truck and damage my ribs, was pined for 1.5hrs lost a $80k+

Vehicle rolls backwards OR potentially forwards intermittently depending on direction of incline. Have only observed it rolling backwards. When changing gears, above third gear usually, there is a resonant grumbling sound.

The transmission made a noise of metal and all electrical when out while driving but the engine stay on but no power to the road. yes its available. my car loss all power electrical and power to the road, had to put off to the side on the road and turn the truck off and on again. The problem has been reproduced but not confirmed by a dealer. I have done a existential look of the under and power train and cant see everything out of place. yes like every warning light when on seconds before all power when out. has never done that before.

Vehicle is downshifting unexpectedly into 2nd gear. Rear tires momentarily lock up and the engine RPM’s go extremely high. This behavior is causing potential accidents to happen.

While driving on local roads travelling at approximately 30 mph truck downshifted unexpectedly into 1st gear. The message area in the instrument cluster had a large wrench image displayed. Proceeded slowly to the grocery store and went shopping. When I restarted the truck the wrench image was gone and the truck appeared to operate normally on the drive home but I drove slowly on back roads because I was afraid of what would happen if the issue occurred at highway speeds. The truck is available for inspection. I have not taken the truck to the dealer. This issue seems to be what the current NHTSA investigation is about

I am having safety related issues that are perfectly described in compliance recall notice "12C23". However, when calling a ford dealership, or looking up the VIN myself, there is no open recalls on my vehicle. My truck was manufactured at the same plant as the recall, in the same time frame. The issues I am seeing are related to the Transmission Range Sensor inside the lead frame. This causes my gear indicator to not work, starting difficulties, sudden shifts while driving, and reverse lights to not turn on when in reverse gear. These issues have been inspected and verified by an ASE certified auto shop "North County Auto" in Oceanside, CA. This is firstly a safety issue that is recognized by ford on the 6R80 transmission. Secondly, this is a very costly fix to come out-of-pocket. However, because my VIN does not reflect it as an open recall even though ALL symptoms are exactly the same Ford will not make corrective action. I think a revision needs to be made to the initial recall notice, and include more VIN numbers.

Wrench light popped on downshift to first gear, speedometer goes to zero. My son and I driving down highway and it suddenly drops to first gear. Dealer said it sounds like transmission molded lead frame. Code reader says it's speed sensor which is in lead frame harness.

Sudden shift into first gear at any speed. Dash lights flickering between p,r,n,d. Tool light coming on dash.

when slowing down the transmission slams down into a lower gear with a loud noise. it hits hard

2012 Ford F-150 Platinum, 154000 miles. My truck has the problem of un-commanded transmission gear change to a lower gear. It started a couple of years ago but it took me a while to identify the problem and when it happened. Once, I was traveling at 70mph and, all by itself, it downshifted into 1st gear. The truck lurched and made a loud bang. It also caused a minor control problem due to the change is gears at that speed. I took it to my local Ford dealer and they replaced the shift motor in the transfer case (at my expense), maybe in Nov 2024. It worked fine after that until my recent road trip, Mar 2025. The un-commanded shift happened again three times during my trip to GA from PA. I'm taking it back to Ford tomorrow. When this shift happens, there is a bang followed by a sudden slowing of the vehicle. It's somewhat scary to have the truck act in this manner.

On 17 Dec 2024, I drove my 2012 F150 truck down a busy road (Powers Blvd). As I was accelerating to the speed limit of 45mph, the truck suddenly slammed into first gear and redlined the RPM gauge before the whole front dashboard went dead. As The truck suddenly slowed down, the seat belt grabbed my shoulder and held me back from the dashboard. Luckily all the traffic was to my right and the car behind me was a stoplight away. If this was later in the day, I have no doubt the truck would have created a multi-car accident. The truck remained in 1st gear as I slowed my speed and within a short time frame - maybe 20 seconds, the truck jerked into another gear. I brought the truck to a nearby parking lot and turned it off. I searched online and identified that there were recalls for this very item. Within an hour I called the Ford dealership and explained the issue, and they set me an appt a short time later. I drove the truck to the dealership and dropped it off and about an hour later they reproduced the issue. Ford found DTC P0722 for the output speed sensor, monitored data, and confirmed failure. I asked what about the recalls and Ford told me that none had been approved for my truck’s VIN. They gave me an estimated cost of $1900.00 to repair the issue, which I approved. The sensor is part of the Lead Frame, they removed the lead frame, removed the main control body, and replaced it as appropriate. They cleared the codes and test-drove the truck. The vehicle or component had not been inspected before this event. There were no warning lights, messages, or indication of any issues prior to this event.

I had just purchased this well-used 2012 F150XL [XXX] ) because well into retirement at [XXX] and officially handicapped, it was all I could afford and had to get a personal loan for it anyway. First thing was a Lake Keowee Ford (REFLASH RECALL) which was performed and within a few days, everything electrical stopped and the battery started draining overnight over and over. The truck would not start, the column shifter was locked in Park and I could not even push it clear of a carport for a tow truck. With endless research, I find that this Shift Interlock failure is very, very common on these trucks of all related years and mileages. Below is a quote from a site: According to a survey, more than 75000 complaints reported against this problem across the USA in the last 15 to 17 years. In addition, it has affected the reliability of these F150 models due to sudden column shifter failure with minor internal damage. In my case, the Horn stopped working, the seats no longer adjust, the truck is in Limp Mode only and the steering is now only manual. It is a danger to drive, yet Lake Keowee is too busy to return my calls and chat efforts, a local repair facility charged $800 to NOT fix it and refuse to look at it again for “maybe” two weeks” As said, I am disabled and a lifelong type one Diabetic so very brittle. I require a means of transportation, yet no one cares enough to offer / or knows how to fix it. This is a known problem that Ford has gotten away with for decades now and an official Recall on the Shift Interlock needs to be fixed. The ball is in your court now.

Attempted to merge onto a highway and car stayed in first and not allowing for proper acceleration. Ended up not being included under a current recall. Replace the lead frame connector in the transmission.

Cylinder 2 had a stored code for misfire and oil and coolant mixture leaking from block. With the F150 raised up on the lift I removed the lower splash shields and continued inspection. Oil was found predominantly on passenger side with a mixture of oil and coolant leaking out drivers side. Using my lab scope I was able to locate the damage in the block. A large crack split down in a Y pattern. This split is located on cylinder #2 location. I would say #2 connecting rod has impacted block due to internal failure.

On a cold start, my truck will not go into first gear until the rpm’s get from 1500-2000 and then it slams into first gear. Other times it won’t have barely any power and will accelerate so slowly that I’ve nearly missed getting in an accident more than a few times. Also, it will slam down into lower gears when down shifting. All of the problems listed above will cause my truck to violently shake to where it feels like I got hit.

While driving down the highway, a wrench appeared on the display, then the speedometer went down to zero and the truck wasn’t shifting or accelerating. I took it to the Ford dealership and the diagnosed it as an issue with the Leadframe sensor assembly. They also let me know this is a known issue and there was an extended warranty program that my vehicle is over mileage for. The repair cost estimate was $800 for parts/labor. They also stated that the part is on back order and may be a month before they could get it. When I asked about driving with the issue they said it won’t do damage to my transmission but may intermittently cause shifting issues and could result in loss of reverse. I don’t feel comfortable driving it like that but it is my only vehicle. I also contact Ford customer care directly but there was nothing they could do to assist and pointed me here.

Transmission downshifts during normal driving conditions on highway. There is a recall for this defect. Recall #1901(transmission). Called Ford on 9.6.23 and spoke to employee #219738 and Ford refused to correct known defects.

I was driving at approximately 30 mph when the transmission's OSS (Output Speed sensor) suddenly malfunctioned, causing an unexpected downshift into first gear. This abrupt shift led to a loss of control, resulting in a harrowing collision with a tree. What I witnessed next is etched into my memory forever: a scene of blood, fluorescent white bone fragments, and shattered glass strewn all around. Bones were even protruding through my skin at various locations, including my wrists, forearms, legs, and ankles, not to mention the dislocated shoulders. Thankfully, there were no other individuals present at the scene; otherwise, the outcome could have been equally disastrous, if not fatal, for them. Astonishingly, there were no discernible warning signs such as unusual sounds or dashboard warning lights prior to this incident. Following the accident, my pickup truck was towed to Cedar Park Wrecker, only to be swiftly claimed by the insurance company and subsequently sent to auction within a matter of days.

Vehicle started to downshift while driving at highway speeds a few months ago. Also a loss of power and acceleration with instrument failure. Later learned this was a common problem with the 11-13 f-150s that Ford knows about. They did give everyone a 10 year, 150k warranty but my truck is just barely out being a 12 with 151k miles. I took it to dealer where it cost me around a $1000 to fix. Was told by service manager there were many more people with the same issue. The transmission leadframe assembly was bad in thousands of trucks. There is a back order of over 12000 of these parts I was told. I think there should be a recall on all of these transmissions and be fixed by Ford. Also, refunds for those of us who already paid out of pocket. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

vehicle died when driving (and has continued to die when driving). Seems to sputter as if downshifting and then totally stalls out, causing safety concern when driving in traffic and randomly dying. Luckily had somewhere to pull off of the road and not cause an accident. Have confirmed with auto repair shop that the main concern is the powertrain control module. Shop has been able to replicate this happening as they have driven it as well. No warning lamps/lights/etc present prior to this happening.

AFTER 2 RECALLS AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE UPDATES, THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT PROBLEMS PERSIST. I QUESTION THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE CAN BE A FULL REPAIR IF THE SOURCE IS THE SPEED SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION (THIS HAS BEEN LABELED AS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM BY FORD). THE NTHSA HAS SAID THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIR, IS THIS BECAUSE THE "REPAIR" PREVENTS CRASHES AND INJURY EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOT PRESENT A SOLUTION TO THE REAL PROBLEM?

Had the lead frame recall performed but transmission still downshifted from 6 gear to 1 gear while traveling at a speed of 70 mph. Supposively there is a software update they didn’t perform and now saying I have to pay for that. Should have been performed at time of lead frame recall but not part of that recall however it still caused the dangerous downshift to 1st gear.

3.5L ecoboost timing chain failure at only 58,000 miles (code P0016 possible turbo problems TBD Front suspension springs are broken. All of these are common threads on many forums. Ford should be held accountable even though mine is 10 years old, the mileage is the issue. FWIW, they completely redesigned the engine a few years later, but never notified anyone to watch out for these common problems or offer a recall

We bought this truck in 2019 from someone. My daughter was driving it at 50 mph and the truck slammed down into 1st gear causing her to almost collide with other vehicles on Route 29 highway. We looked up recall ( 19S07) and it was done at Ted Britt Ford, but is broken again. We called several Ford dealerships and they said theres nothing they can do because Ford isn't making any more replacement parts for this recall. They instructed us to go on ebay and buy a used part to put on, but no repair shops have the part or they refuse to put a refurbished one on due to liability. We do not feel this is safe and now we have a scared daughter that wont drive it, a truck we can't drive, or sell. We feel we have been treated unfairly. This is a FORD issue from the beginning and we have $14,000 invested in this vehicle. We have had to rent a vehicle for my daughter to get to college and work. We do NOT feel safe in this vehicle.

TEMPORARY DOWNSHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE PART THEY NEED IS UNAVABLE. aBLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK IN MANUAL UNTIL THE PROBLEM BEGAN HAPPENING WHILE IN MANUAL, TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE.

Traveling at 60mph in dry weather when suddenly my MIL (malfunction indicator light) briefly displayed and several dash information displays when blank or did not provide correct information, i.e speedometer when to zero. My transmission indicated that I went from 6th gear to 3rd gear. Fortunately the vehicle was still contollable and I went straight home. I restarted the vehicle and all information went back to normal. This is a well documented issue with certain Ford vehicles. NTSB campaign 19N01 currently applies to my vehicle; however, I am outside the mileage and age for Ford's extended warranty solution. I will need to pay for repairs once parts are available, if ever. I feel this a safety issue that will only get worse for customers that do not qualify for the Ford Customer Service Program remedy on this issue.

I had the Sudden Transmission Downshift Recall, 19S07, performed on my truck in 2022. The output speed sensors are well known to go out on these trucks. Instead of fixing the problem correctly, the 19S07 recall only programmed the transmission not to downshift rapidly. This takes care of one of the safety issues, but when the speed sensor inevitably breaks, it makes the vehicle extremely dangerous to drive. The transmission will get stuck in 1st gear, or sometimes 6th gear, or anything in between. The truck goes in to limp mode and restricts power to the transmission. I was trying to get onto interstate 94 and the truck was not speeding up. I almost got rear ended before quickly steering off of the road. There were no injuries but it was close. This issue now happens daily and I am not able to safely drive the vehicle. The truck shifts loudly and "bucks" forward when put into drive even with the brakes engaged. Ford refuses to fix this critical safety problem and there are thousands of Ford vehicles on the road with the same transmission lead frame, and same issue. Ford dealership confirmed that the Lead Frame and Output Speed Sensor Have gone out. Almost $2000 to repair this critical safety issue. I will be putting myself at risk by attempting to fix it myself, as I cannot afford the repair. Warning Lights I see include the check engine light, wrench light, AIRBAG light, the speed drops to zero, and the mileage drops to zero. The truck is EXTREMELY UNSAFE! This issue has happened over 15 times, starting November 2022 after I took it in for recall.

I was running 65mph and my truck down shifted from 6th to 3rd. I called my dealer and they said they never heard of this problem so I called two more and can’t get any answers. Glad no one was behind me.

The truck will randomly downshift while driving losing all power on the highway not allowing the truck to increase in speed until it is turned off and restarted. After it is restarted, the speedometer stays at 0 not showing how fast we are going. While this is happening, the check engine light flashes. I have contacted the Ford dealership in our area multiple times over the last month, and they have yet to respond on the concern. Not all the trucks electrical components are working. The radio, power locks, power windows, and horn do not work. In July 2022 the truck was taken to a Ford dealership to be diagnosed, and they couldn't find a reason/cause for this in order to get the truck repaired.

Vehicle lost its power in the power steering system, and you lose all control over the vehicle and you can't move left or right Making it very dangerous for me while it occurred, since I was unable to move the car towards any direction.

Vehicle shifts from a high gear to a low gear. While driving 60 miles an hour on the expressway my F150 went from six gear to first gear with no warning locking my rear wheels causing my speed to drastically or abruptly be lower almost causing several other vehicles to crash into the back of my pick up. Vehicle stays on gear sometimes first third or fifth gear with no warning switching back-and-forth. While making a stop at 0 mph vehicle stays at a high gear for example he could stay at third gear or fifth gear so they takeoff will be in third or fifth gear not in first gear . Also losing speedometer reading. This has happened multiple times while driving at low speed or high speed. I am concerned that this could cause accidents in the roads. Ford motor company corporate advised me that is an auto pocket fix sensor customer satisfaction program has expired for my vehicle. I never received notification of this issue while on my truck was within warranty. Ford Motor Company stated that they extended their coverage until 10,000 miles or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. My vehicle has 165,000 miles and he’s 10 years old. I don’t believe this is a normal Tear and water failure. This is a manufactures defective part that has happened in thousands of vehicles is not an isolated incident.

On 22MAY2022 I started my vehicle and started pulling out of a parking space when I lost braking power. The failure resembled a similar issue I had in the past when the electronic vacuum pump failed and the brake pedal felt hard and required significant additional effort to bring the vehicle to a stop. The electronic vacuum pump and fuse has been replaced by the dealership previously. The unexpected brake failure caused me to roll farther than I wanted and hit the rock on my passenger side, rear door, causing minor body damage. Ford Customer Service said Customer Satisfaction Program 15N05 is a one time replacement and this vehicle is no longer eligible for the program since it has already been serviced. Additionally, they said any repair associated with this event is limited to 15N05 so body damage would not ne covered.

Brake Failure: The brake Vacuum Boost pump is failing which causes a loss of power assist brakes. This is a massive safety issue and can cause serious accidents. Oddly Fors no longer manufactures the Bracket to be able to replace the pump and there is no aftermarket alternative. My Dealer tells me their notes from ford say obtains from aftermarket but I have scoured the internet and nobody makes the bracket. IT's a terrible design and a huge safety issue that should be recalled completely . Ford watts to charge over $900 to fix it but cant even get the parts as described above. Transmission Lead Rail: Recently had the Transmission Lead rail fail whcih casued sudden downshiting at highway speeds and the shift indicator to not illuinate. THis again is a massive safetey issue that Ford issued sevral TSB on but never recalled. This almost got me killed on thehighway a few times. They charged me over $1500 to replace the LEAD rail when again this defcetive design and craftsmenship that is a massive safetey issue and should be fully recalled. Engine Stutter: My truck has almost always stuttered anytime you wne tover hal throtle, There are sveral TSB on this but FORD has not stepped up and taken care o fht eissue via recall. Apprnetly moisture build up in the inercooler and gets sucked into the intake due to poor design. Timing Chain Stretch: I now have Timing chain stretch, this also seems ot be quite common due to poor design. Rear Door Failure: I can no longer open my rear half door due to failure of internal plastic door components. You can research any o fhtese issues and find that htey are very common pronlems in F150 and other Ford vehicles due to their negligence in design and engineering and some are huge safetey issues that FORD has somehow been alloweed to ignore or issue insufficinet TSB instead of Recall.

On multiple occasions, driving at highways speeds, the vehicle with go from 6th gear to 1st or 3rd gear, causing a lock up of the tires skidding till the engine speed slows to match transmission gear. Both times there have been vehicle behind me and have had to swerve to avoid. The first time it happened in 2019/05 and a PCM recalibration was done at a dealership, and I was not aware that there was a recall available for this specific problem, replacing the lead frame in transmission. Now that its out of the recall date that was issued by ford, it is now showing the exact same issues, 2022/01/30. After every time it happens, a warning lamp has not signaled on, and no error code results. I've talk to multiple dealerships and ford customer relations, and will not issue the recall.

My truck has been experiencing sudden downshifting. I took it to the dealership in June of 2021 and mentioned the CSB 19N01, they said because there was no codes stored that were related to this problem they couldnt replace the leadframe,but said they would reprogram the PCM ,this did nothing .Yesterday my transmission slammed really hard and check engine light came on. Code P0501 (VSS vehicle speed sensor) Truck was built in 5/2012 which means it is still within the CSB guideline of 10 years 150000 miles. Just because the error code isnt the one that is on the checklist that they use to determine if it qualifies for the CSB doesnt mean the problem isnt there. I have about 3 months before my 10 year extension is up, This needs to be repaired asap. Thank you

I have a 2012 F-150 that has a recall under 16N02, it has happened more and more frequently where the transmission will die and go into a sort of "limp mode" and will not shift out of first gear. Will show a wrench and engine codes on the instrument cluster. I have now taken it into my local ford dealership where they said they cannot find any codes nor will they fix the said recall unless the transmission actually fails. I talked to a service tech and manager and they both told me that there was nothing they can do and of course my warranty and recall warranty ends December 31st. They told me at first on the phone that they wouldn't cover it anyways for the simple fact that they couldn't get me in till February and my warranty would be over by that point. I made a big enough fuss and they allowed me to bring it today only to be told there was nothing they could do and I was told to leave with my truck. I find this very hard to believe and am at a loss of words.

Ford is aware these trucks have a problem with their transmissions and are making repairs extremely difficult for me. I am very lucky not to have been in an accident in this truck as it will get stuck in gear when turning out into a busy highway because of their transmissions sensor and lead frame issues. The government has addressed this issue to some degree, but Ford has already once refused the repair because they couldn't replicate the problem. I almost got into a severe accident last week because of the problem they know the trucks have. These trucks should be fixed correctly and people on the road shouldn't have to worry about getting people severely injured or killed over a problem with their 6r80 transmissions that should have been fixed. Please do what you can to help Ford do the right thing and get these repaired quickly.

Driving all of a sudden engine will downshift.

Vehicle shut off while driving approx 30 mph making a slight right hand turn. Thus losing all throttle, power steering and power brakes. Vehicle error message is low oil pressure but oil level is checked out to be good. Based on online research the culprit is an overheated fuel pump fuse and a very common issue.

Anytime I idle/ idle low/ slow down the vehicle shuts off! In intersections, drive-thru's, stop signs. Then it gives me a low oil pressure warning.

While driving at approximately 60mph my vehicle shifted into first gear and aggressively skidded into oncoming traffic with my wife and two daughters in the truck. After regaining control, I drove it to my residence where the issue was repeated two times at slower speeds. After calling my local Ford dealership, they stated that there were two open recalls relating to the issue, 19S07 relating to the PCM and 19N01 relating to the leadframe. Apparently the two issues have resulted in many crashes and multiple fatalities. 19S01 was completed on my vehicle in 2019, however they did not mention or fix the leadframe issues in 19N01 despite it already being an open recall with national attention. I did not receive a recall letter or notification despite the serious nature of the issue. While I was within the warranty window for the leadframe at the time of service for the first recall, I have recently driven past 150,000 miles. The same Ford dealership stated that while the two recalls would apply, they were under a 10 year 150,000 mile warranty. I am within 10 years, but at 163,000 miles. After discussions with my dealership and two customer service representatives at your call center, I am extremely disappointed to hear that this known safety issue will not be fixed on a 9 year old vehicle because I am 10,000 miles outside of your warranty issue.

Was driving on the highway when all of a sudden the wrench icon on my dash came up, airbag light, and my speedometer dropped to 0. My truck also dropped a gear and slowed down so much that I was almost rear ended by a semi truck. I took it to my dealer to see if there was a recall but apparently the recall for the lead frame, expired for my truck. I personally think that there should be no expiration on this recall because it's a safety issue and someone could get hurt or killed because Ford doesn't wanna take care of their mistake.

On July 22, 2021 I was traveling at approximately 45 mph on a three lane divided highway when the automatic transmission shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear, locking the rear wheels and initiating a skid. Moments later the transmission shifted back to 6th causing a loud bang and severe jolt to the vehicle and propelling it forward. The wrench light came on and the speedometer dropped to zero (even thought the vehicle was moving forward) and the passenger airbag lights came on. I was able to avoid colliding with the vehicles around me and was able to pull off the road and turn the vehicle off, but it was a near-miss and could have caused a major traffic accident. I took the vehicle into the local Ford dealer for repair and was notified that the vehicle is subject to a "Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01". The notification letter is attached and ignores any risk to driver safety and consequently Ford downplay the entire event. In addition, the repair is likely to take at least to the end of August because the required parts are on back order. Ford do not seem to care that this is a safety problem and are unwilling to help with either identifying spare parts or providing a back-up vehicle (rental or loaner).

The contact's son owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while her son was driving 65 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted into first gear. The brakes locked up causing the vehicle to slide on the road. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact's son to drive the vehicle until the scheduled appointment. The dealer later informed the contact's son that the mileage was over the 150,000 miles warranty coverage and the repair would not be covered. The contact stated that when the failure first occurred, the mileage was below the 150,000 miles. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that they would callback within 24 to 48 hours. The failure mileage was 149,750.

Dear sir /madam the other day i was driving out of the drive thru wrench came on no mileage, no display no speed. tach went to 5000 rpm like i down shifted and going 5 mph. i stopped by a transmission shop today the guy [XXX] said it's a common problem. He said call ford customer service 1-866-436-7332 i put the recall info in on my cell (recall no# 19S07) this to me is a serious problem with the programing of the speed control please just listen to the message. Can loose control cause a accident bring truck in asap! Question why hasn't ford notified us of the down shiffting problem until i get rear ended? i will set up service to re-program and look at the conductor plate which i was told it is plastic. thank you [XXX] [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

After starting the vehicle and putting it into drive, the vehicle would not shift out of 1st gear. RPS revved nearly to red-line and even when I removed my foot from the gas pedal, the revs remained high. Even when underway, the speedometer registered 0 MPH and the odometer was showing only dashes "-------------". After a short time, the wrench symbol appeared on the display and the airbag warning icon was illuminated. I pulled over and turned the truck off and back on and it operated normally. No error codes were stored and my service shop will not work on it since it is not happening all the time. On a different occasion about a week ago, I was driving up a residential street incline and the truck was not shifting from 2nd gear. I pressed the accelerator more and all of sudden the truck shifted extremely rough jerking myself and my passenger unsafely. After this the truck stuck in gear, displayed the wrench symbol and illuminated the air bag warning icon. This looks to be highly related to Ford Safety Recall 19S07 but my truck is not covered by this recall.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of an NHTSA campaign number regarding the Power Train, possibly NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (Power Train).

GOING DOWNHILL LAST NIGHT IN 5 PM TRAFFIC AND MY TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR BY ITSELF AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED LET ALONE SOMEONE COULD HAVE REARENDED ME AND THERE WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE LET ALONE MAYBE ANOTHER DEATH. I PUT ON MY FLASHERS RIGHT AWAY, PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT THE TRUCK OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. GATHERED MY THOUGHTS TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE ON THE SHOULDER FOR A WAYS, AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO GEAR NO PROBLEM. THEN I HAD TO STOP AT THE STORE, SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, STARTED IT WHEN I GOT BACK IN AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. AGAIN A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES - I DO HAVE VIDEO OF LAST NIGHTS OCCURRENCE. THERE ARE MANY FACETS TO THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A CUSTOMER SAFETY NUMBER THAT IS RELATED TO THIS HOWEVER MY TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 150000 MILES. I TOOK IT INTO FORD THIS MORNING AND ALSO TALKED WITH NATIONAL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID 10 YEARS OR 150000 MILES. ACTUALLY 2 DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME 2 DIFFERENT THINGS, ONE TOLD ME IT IS COVERED AND THE 2ND TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED. MY TRUCK HAD 149000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT, SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS STOLEN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT HAD UMPTEEN THINGS WRONG WITH IT, SO IT HAS BEEN IN THE MECHANIC SHOP AND BODY SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE HAD IT. HAD I KNOWN THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE I COULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED BEFORE IT WAS STOLEN.

Had recall completed on my vehicle back about a year ago but vehicle is now doing the same thing it was again dropping into first gear which causes major problems CV joint is going bad because of the sudden stop Betty shaft what bothers me is I've already had three called done and it's happening again my concerns are now that my transmission is older what's dresses and putting on my transmission I have my transmission serviced are you 50 to 60 thousand miles oil changes regularly

TRUCK OPERATES NORMALLY UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, OFTEN WITHIN MINUTES (OR EVEN MOMENTS) OF THE RESET, BUT SOMETIMES NOT AGAIN FOR THE DURATION OF A 20 OR 25 MINUTE TRIP. TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE IN THIS CONDITION AND I HAVE NOW STOPPED DRIVING IT. I HAVE BEEN STUCK AT A RED LIGHT ON A GRADE WITH A LOAD IN THE BED AND TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, UNABLE TO MOVE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES, BECAUSE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WILL NOT ENGAGE, AND THIRD GEAR LACKS TORQUE TO GET MOVING. ONCE, AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE EVENT OCCURRED AND THE TRUCK WAS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR, CAUSING UNSAFE TRAFFIC CONDITION (FOR ME AND OTHERS) WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER SAFELY THROUGH TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION TO PHOTOS SUBMITTED HEREWITH, I HAVE VIDEO CLIPS SHOWING OCCURRENCE AT HIGHWAY AND AT SURFACE STREET SPEEDS. CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT THEM.

WHILE DRIVING, EITHER GOING 25 MPH IN A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OR 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT GEARS, THROW A WRENCH LIGHT, AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE SIMILAR TO THIS FOR TRUCKS BETWEEN 2011 AND 2013. TRUCKS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL WERE GIVEN A FEILD SERVICE ACTION FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE TO MORE VEHICLES THAN WHAT THEY RECALLED. OWNERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS FIELD SERVICE ACTION. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE GOING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO DOWN SHIFT, SLOW DOWN, AND YOU MUST PULL OVER FOR SAFETY ON THE INTERSTATE. A CODE WILL POP UP AS P0720 OR P0721. FORD SHOULD BE DOING MORE SINCE THEY KNOW IT IS AN ISSUE, OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY F-150 VEHICLES BUILT IN THOSE DATE RANGES.

WITH THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE I HAD DONE THE TOTAL BILL WAS 3,085.51. THE TRUCK WAS REGULARLY SERVICED EVERY 5,000 MILES BY A FORD DEALER. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT LACK OF MAINTENANCE IT WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURER. DUE TO THIS I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.

THE WRENCH SYMBOL COMES ON AND THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT SCREEN GOES BLANK AND THE TRANSMISSION EITHER GETS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR OR WILL START OFF IN 3RD AND ONLY SHIFT THROUGH 5TH GEAR. YOU CAN TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL RESET AND START OFF IN FIRST AND THE SCREEN WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. UNUSUALLY WHEN THIS OCCURS WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND AT THIS TIME YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECT AFTER 15 SECONDS TO REGAIN MOBILITY. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM TO NO AVAIL. THE NEW PCM IS REGISTERING A CODE NOW FOR THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR WHICH HAS HAD A RECALL IN OTHER 2011-12 F150 MODELS.

MY TRUCK WAS PART OF FORD'S RECALL FOR THE LEAD FRAME SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS WHERE THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I GOT THE PCM REPROGRAMMED - WHICH THEY CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM DOWNSHIFTING IF IT LOST THE TRANSMISSION SPEED READING. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION TO REPLACE PARTS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL, BUT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION - BECAUSE THE REPROGRAM WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO COVER THE TRULY UNSAFE ASPECT BY PREVENTING A DOWNSHIFT. BUT THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK THE PARTS REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL TOO (NOT SUBJECT TO WARRANTY LIMITS). I HAD TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS ONLY FOR 150,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAD 178,000 AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER 1200 DOLLARS. THEY DO A SAFETY RECALL TO REPROGRAM, CORRECTLY SAY IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THEN THEY COME OUT AND SAY OH, IT WORKS BETTER IF WE REPLACE THE PARTS, BUT SOMEHOW GET AWAY WITH SAYING THAT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, JUST OFFER A LONGER WARRANTY? *JS

TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH (POSTED SPEED LIMIT) WHEN WITHOUT WARNING MY TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR. LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED RESULTED IN THE DOWNSHIFT. I WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 35 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY QUICKLY. MY ENTIRE DASH, BESIDES THE TACHOMETER, WENT OUT AS WELL AS A RESULT OF THIS DOWNSHIFT. I WAS LUCKY I WAS TRAVELING EARLY IN THE MORNING (ABOUT 530 AM) AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. OR ELSE I AM SURE SOMEONE WOULD HAVE HIT ME DUE TO RAPID DECELERATION. THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND NOT IN A TURN. AFTER THIS DECELERATION, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MANAGE TO GET OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT HAD NO POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT ALSO FELT AS THOUGH IT HAD AFFECTED THE REST OF THE POWER ITEMS ON THE TRUCK, STEERING AND BRAKES ESPECIALLY. IT FELT AS THOUGH MY POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP FULLY. THE FORD RECALL # FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM IS 19S07, THE NHTSA # IS 19V075000. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WHAT FORD DEEMED AS A "VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL", REPAIR ESTIMATES ARE $1185. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THIS PROBLEM IS A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL, THE ONLY REASON I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IS BECAUSE OF THE TIME OF DAY I WAS TRAVELING.

I DROVE GENTLY THE REST OF THE WAY HOME, FEARING THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT DIDN'T. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I LEFT TO WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD WHINE THAT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AT HIGHER RPM, JUST PRIOR TO UPSHIFT. I DROVE GENTLY TO WORK AND BACK HOME LATER THAT EVENING. THE FOLLOWING DAY WAS SATURDAY, 7/27/19: TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL SHOP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF RAPID FAILURE AND THAT IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THAT IT MIGHT LAST ANOTHER WEEK, IF I WAS LUCKY & THAT MY TRUCK WOULD ONE DAY SOON, LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE FWY. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I ORDERED A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION, TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $3000. A MONTH LATER, MY MECHANIC BROTHER-IN-LAW & I SWAPPED OUT THE TRANNY, INCLUDING THE TORQUE CONVERTER & TRANNY COOLER. THEN I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC SHOP, SO MY ECU & TCU COULD BE REPROGRAMMED TO ACCEPT THE NEW TRANNY & UPDATED TO FIX THE RECALL. WHAT RECALL? THIS WAS THE FIRST MENTION OF ANY RECALL.

THEN, STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN IT OFF, RESTART, THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL NEXT OCCURRENCE. AFTER MUCH MUCH RESEARCH AND AGREED DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE REP AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, IT DISPLAYS THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF THE LEAD FRAME WHICH IS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL ISSUED RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOW REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THE ERROR CODE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN I GET THE VEHICLE THERE AND THAT IS BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET THE ISSUE TO CLEAR SO I CAN CONTINUE DRIVING IT.

AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAD BLOWN AND MELTED THE FUSE BLOCK WHERE THE FUSE IS INSERTED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO MOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO A DIFFERENT BLOCK WITHIN THE FUSE PANEL AND INSTALL A FUSE BLOCK THAT WILL HANDLE THE REQUIRED AMPERAGE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BY FORD BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 60MPH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO FIRST WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING A SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT OVER SPUN THE MOTOR, RESULTING IN A LOWER ENGINE KNOCK WHICH A CERTIFIED FORD TECHNICIAN BELIEVES IS THE RESULT OF A BEARING FAILURE. EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED A CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST IN WHICH NO INDICATION OF VALVE INTERFERENCE WAS IDENTIFIED, THE FORD ENGINEER HE WAS DEALING WITH SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE! THIS IS THE SAME RECALL ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS! THERE ARE DOZENS OF BLOG POSTS WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED, AT THE VERY LEAST, MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND IN RARE CASES (NOT INCLUDING MINE), ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE CALCULATED THE ENGINES RPM'S USING THE FORMULA: AXLE RATIO X VEHICLE SPEED X TRANSMISSION RATIO X 336.13) / TIRE DIAMETER = ENGINE SPEED. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE ENGINE'S RPM'S WERE AT AN ESTIMATED 9,074 RPM'S [(3.55 X 60MPH X 4.17 X 336.13)/32.9]. THE TACHOMETER ONLY GOES TO 7,000 RPM'S! THERE ARE TWO RECALLS (19N01 AND 19S07) THAT CAN CAUSE INTERMITTENT SHIFTING INTO FIRST. THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, I WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR RECALL FIXES BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TO "TAKE CARE OF THEIR PAYING CUSTOMERS FIRST." I HAVE TALKED WITH FOUR DIFFERENT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES, THE ANSWER HAS BEEN THE SAME; "THERE IS NOTHING FORD MOTOR COMPANY CAN DO FOR YOU AT THIS TIME." I FEEL FORD HAS BEEN VERY NEGLECTFUL IN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUE, NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT THE COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED DOWNHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. TRANSMISSION WAS ERRATIC IN GEAR SELECTION WITH CORRESPONDING TACHOMETER AND SPEDOMETER OSCILLATIONS.HAD SIX OCCURENCES WITH VARIOUS DEGREES OF SEVERITY .CALLED FORD HELP LINE .ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS " UNSAFE " TO DRIVE . GOT THE TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALER AND HADF IT CODED. TRUCK WAS SHOWING CODES FOR DEFECTIVE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. THE " LEAD FRAME " HAD TO BE REPLACED AT " MY EXPENSE ". NO REPROGRAMMING WAS DONE BECAUSE THERE WAS " NO RECALL " AT THAT TIME . THE ROOT CAUSE WAS REPAIRED BUT THERE WAS STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF A VIOLENT DOWN SHIFT EVENT . I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A EXPANDED RECALL TO REPROGRAM AND PREVENT THE DRAMATIC AND VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT ISSUE. I AM GOING TO GET THE TRUCK IN ASAP TO GET THIS DONE . THE ORIGINAL RECALL LANGUAGE STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE DOWNSHIFT ISSUES AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR DEFECTIVE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT FORD WOULD " REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME AND REPROGRAM " FREE OF CHARGE AND ALSO WARRANTEE THE COMPONENTS FOR I THINK 150,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE " SAFE TO DRIVE " AT MY EXPENSE. THE REAL FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME AND REPROGRAM . I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DRAMATIC DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AND HAD TO MANUVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD . I FEEL BAD FOR ANY ONE ELSE THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS. FORD IS GETTING OFF ON THE " CHEAP ' BY NOT DOING THE " COMPLETE " FIX. VERY !!!!!!!!! UNHAPPY FORD OWNER.

I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE FROM FORD THAT OUR 2012 YEAR MODEL, FORD, F-150 PICKUP TRUCK WAS RECALLED UNDER FORD RECALL: 19S07 AND NHTSA RECALL: 19V-075. THIS IS THE RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH FORDS PCM PROGRAMMING BEING UNABLE TO COPE WITH AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION OSS. THE PCM WOULD FORCE THE VEHICLE INTO 1ST GEAR REGARDLESS OF CURRENT OPERATING SPEED (MPH). I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THAT FORD CANNOT PERFORM A FIX ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ONLY REPAIRED THE PCM FOR THE V8 ENGINE AND HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN AROUND TO THE V6 ECO BOOST ENGINES, EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL DOCUMENTS I RECEIVED INSTRUCT ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FURTHER, THE RECALL DOCUMENTS I RECEIVED HAVE THE VEHICLE INFO (VIN INCLUDED) ON EACH OF THEM SO ONE WOULD ASSUME THE VIN WAS CROSSCHECKED WITH FORD'S MANUFACTURING DATA BASE TO DETERMINE IF THE OFFERED FIX ACTUALLY FIT THE VEHICLE. I AM TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NEED THE FIX BUT IT WILL NOT BE OUT UNTIL SOME TIME LATER THIS SUMMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV. THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA 93907) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING OUT OF 6TH GEAR INTO 1ST GEAR. THIS WAS UPDATED BY A COMPUTER FIX THAT KEEPS IT FROM SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR BUT INTO 5TH INSTEAD. FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02 THAT ADDRESSES THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING AND A FIX FOR IT. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE PLANT INDICATED, IN THE TIME FRAME INDICATED AND GIVES THE ENGINE CODES AS INDICATED BY THE BULLETIN. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT AND DESPITE ALL THESE FINDINGS AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM TO FIX. MY MILEAGE IS BELOW THE 150K THRESHOLD THAT IS SET FOR THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE LEAD FRAME PROBLEM. THEIR FIX TO STOP IT FROM SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR REDUCES THE CHANCE FOR A MAJOR ACCIDENT BUT THEIR REFUSAL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LEAD FRAME STILL LEAVES THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. A DOWN SHIFT AT SPEED TO 5TH GEAR STILL CAUSES AN UNINDICATED AND UNCONTROLLED SLOW DOWN OF MY TRUCK, THE LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO APPARENTLY CAUSING SOME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHEN THIS OCCURS AS I MA GETTING A MESSAGE TO REMOVE OBJECTS FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THIS OCCURS. MY LOCAL FORD SHOP WILL NOT TRY TO WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE MADE 2 DIFFERENT CONTACTS AT FORD CONCERNING THIS AND THEY ALL SAY IT IS NOT ONE THEY HAVE MARKED FOR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T HELP THAT IT IS NOT ONE THEY THOUGHT MIGHT BE AFFECTED, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN AND CAN'T GET IT REPAIRED BY THEM.

I RECIEVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07/NHTSA RECALL 19V-075 CONCERNING A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE TO PREVENT UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFIT TO CORRECT INTERMITTENT AILURES OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. THE PROPOSED CORRECTION IS INADEQUATE, SINCE IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THAT IS, INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO CORRECT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THAT IS, THE DEFECT EXISTING IN THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFTS, SINCE FAILING TO CORRECT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND MERELY INSTALLING A SOFTWARE PATCH WILL NOT RESULT IN PROPER OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, POTENTIALLY IMPAIRING FUEL ECONOMY AND/OR PROPER FUNCTION AND SAFETY DURING SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITIONS.

ON THE EVENING OF 2/14/19 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM THE CAR WASH, MY 2012 FORD F-150 SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR FROM 6TH GEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO LOSS OF CONTROL AS THE ROAD WAS DRY AND MY SPEED WAS 40 MPH. THE NEXT MORNING I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JACK DEMMER FORD IN WAYNE MI TO SPEAK WITH MY SERVICE REP. HE DID NOT PICK UP AND DID NOT RETURN MY CALL DESPITE MY LEAVING A DETAILED MESSAGE AND CALLING AGAIN LATER IN THE DAY. ON THE MORNING OF 2/19/19 WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO WHAT I ASSUME IS "LIMP MODE". IT DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR AND A WRENCH LOGO APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE SCREEN. THERE WAS NO DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM, JUST A LOGO. WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, I REALIZED THAT I NO LONGER HAD 1ST, 2ND, OR 6TH GEAR. I ARRIVED AT WORK AND CALLED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEY GAVE ME A RUNAROUND ABOUT HOW AN OFFICIAL FIX WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET AND ASKED ME IF I HAD TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER INSISTING REPEATEDLY THAT SOMETHING BE DONE, I WAS TOLD I COULD BRING THE TRUCK IN THE HAVE THE POWER TRAIN MODULE "REPROGRAMMED". THIS WAS DONE AT NO COST BUT I WAS TOLD THIS WAS ALL THEY COULD DO FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THE NEXT DAY IN THE EVENING, THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO SECOND GEAR WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING 55 MILES AN HOUR. THE ROAD WAS WET AND STARTING TO FREEZE. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE TRUCK RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER THIS. AS OF 2/20/19, NO FURTHER CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE WITH FORD REGARDING THE ISSUE. I WILL BE CALLING TOMORROW TO CUSTOMER CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DEMANDING A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS RELATED TO RECALL 19S07. THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IS REPORTED TO BE LOSING COMMUNICATION WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, CAUSING A DOWNSHIFT.

INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH DRIVING DOWNSHIFTS AND HARD UPSHIFTS. SOMETIMES THE F150 SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO THIRD UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR. WRENCH LIGHT ERROR COMES ON, AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO AND MILEAGE COUNTER ALL SHOW DASHES. PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK WORKS TO CLEAR THE WRENCH ICON AND REGAIN SPEED AND MILEAGE READING BUT THE SHIFTING ISSUES MAY OR MAY NOT COMR BACK IMMEDIATELY. DOWNSHIFT TO 5TH WHILE IN MOTION AND HAD IT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH HEAR TO 1ST ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH WHICH WAS SCARY. WITH THIS ISSUE IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AT THE TIME IT DOWNSHIFTED TO 1SR GEAR. IF I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT, WOULD I HAVE HAD NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS FOR ME AND MY KIDS?

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ON ITS OWN AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REPORT: 11129849. FOLLOWING THE INITIAL SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR THE TRUCK WAS EVALUATED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND, HOWEVER OVER THE NEXT 2 MONTHS THE TRUCK BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE FREQUENT SHIFTING ERRORS. THE DASH GAUGES WOULD QUIT OR BLANK OUT AND THE TRUCK WOULD BECOME STUCK IN A SINGLE GEAR, MOST OFTEN 3RD GEAR. THE FREQUENCY CONTINUED TO INCREASE UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, OBD-II CODES WERE P0720, P0722. A PREVIOUS FORD BULLETIN DESCRIBED THE EXACT SYMPTOMS IN DETAIL HOWEVER FORD REPORTED MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE REPAIR BULLETIN. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH MY LOCAL TECHNICIAN WE ELECTED TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR BULLETIN EVEN THOUGH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS BULLETIN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. THIS HAS COMPLETELY RESOLVED THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND WAS STUCK IN GEAR. I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. FEW WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. AND THEN COUPLE DAYS LATER IT BEGAN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 5TH EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED I WOULD SHUT OFF AND IT WOULD STOP. OTHER DAY IT GOT STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AGAIN AND A 'WRENCH' APPEARED ON INSTRUMENT GAUGE. I LOOKED ON INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL WHEN I CALLED FORD I WANNA TOLD THAT MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER RECALL. HOW CAN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL AND SAME YEAR TRUCK BE COVERED FOR SOME BUT NOT ALL TRUCKS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOW PROBLEM THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE INJURY OR WORSE.

NOT ONLY WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS DOES THE TRANSMISSION MESS UP BUT SO DOES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, TO THE POINT WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.

WHILE IN MOTION MY TRUCK HAS SLAMMED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE THE TRUCK HAS STARTED IN A HIGH GEAR AND WOULD NOT EXIT 5TH GEAR. AT THE SAME TIME THE SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T WORK AND THE ODOMETER DISPLAYED ALL DASHES (I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS). MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT BOTH ISSUES ARE DUE TO A DOCUMENTED FAILURE IN THE MOLDED LEADFRAME (PART OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE FIRST ISSUE APPEARS TO EXACTLY MATCH RECALL "16N02". THE SECOND ISSUE EXACTLY MATCHES TSB 13-6-8. THE FIX FOR BOTH IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE MOLDED LEADFRAME. FORD IS SAYING THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL (WITH NO EXPLANATION) EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SYMPTOM SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL AND MATCHES BOTH THE DATE AND LOCATION OF MANUFACTURE AS WELL AS THE MODEL OF TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE DOWNSHIFTING ISSUE HAPPEN YEARS AGO AS WELL AND THAT WAS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED THE OUTPUT SENSOR AND NOT THE ENTIRE MOLDED LEADFRAME AS SPECIFIED AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURED NOW - THOUGH LUCKILY IT IS NOT HAPPENING OFTEN LIKE IT DID BEFORE.

THIS FORD F-150 IS EQUIPED WITH A V-6 3.5 LITER TWIN TURBO ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT IS 2 WHEEL DRIVE. TE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG AT SPEED THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT INTO EITHER 1ST GEAR OF 5TH GEAR. PREDOMINANTLY 1ST GEAR. THE SPEED CAN VARY FROM 35 TO 55 MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE ARE NO CODES. ON ONE OCCASION THE DASH DISPLAYED A SINGLE LARGE WRENCH ACROSS THE DISPLAY AND THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF AND WAIT THEN RESTART AND PROCEED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IT HAPPENED A FEW TMES ON ONE TRIP, ABOUT 1 HOUR TRIP TIME. ON OTHER OCCASIONS IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AT ALL. I HAVE NOT KEPT A RECORD OF EACH OCCURANCE BUT I BELIEVE THE TOTAL IS APROIMATELY 12-18 TIMES. IN ALL INSTANES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREETS OR INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THE ROADS HAVE NOT BEEN CURVY BUT RATHER MORE STRAIGH. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO INJURIES.

MY 2012 FORD F-150 IS HAVING SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN FOR TSB'S AND SAFETY RECALLS. UPON CONTACTING FORD MOTOR COMPANY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER THAT MATCHED WITH THEIR CASES. MY VEHICLE FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTIONS WITH MAKE, MODEL, YEAR, AND EVEN MANUFACTURING LOCATION AND HAS THE EXACT ISSUES THAT THESE RECALLS ARE ABOUT. THE FIRST RECALL IS FORD RECALL 16S19 : UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT THIS WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFT MULTIPLE GEARS. WHEN IT SHIFTS DOWN IT ALSO CAUSES THE REAR TIRES ARE LOCK UP AND I HAVE LOST CONTROL MOMENTARILY TRYING TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS ALSO CAUSES WEAR AND TEAR ON THE DRIVETRAIN. SHIFTING THE MOTOR FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST IMMEDIATELY SENDS THE MOTOR INTO A DANGEROUS RPM RANGE CAUSING DAMAGE. THE SECOND RECALL IS FORD TSB 13-6-8: THIS CAUSES ME TO LOSE ALL INDICATION ON MY GAUGES EXCEPT FOR RPM' S. I LOSE INDICATION ON MY CURRENT SPEED RANDOMLY AND ALSO ON ALL OF MY CRITICAL ENGINE TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES. THIS ALSO LOCKS THE TRANSMISSION INTO 5TH GEAR, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY AND ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED. THESE TWO ISSUES COMBINE MAKES THE VEHICLE A DANGER TO DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE TAKING THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE AND CANNOT TRUST IT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BOTH LOCALLY AND AT ITS HEADQUARTERS. THEIR REPLY IS THAT THEY HAVE TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT THE NHTSA FOR FURTHER HELP FROM A FRIEND WHO ENCOUNTERED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

TRAVELING AT STEADY SPEED (NO CRUISE CONTROL) ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR, LIKELY 1ST. THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED TO 5-6000. THE SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO LOOSE TRACTION RESULTING IN A FISH TAIL LOSS OF CONTROL UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE SPEED. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE ANYBODY BESIDE ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD LEFT GENEROUS SPACE OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DURING OR AFTER THE EVENT.

AS A RESULT OF NO POWER, WE WERE ALMOST T-BONED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH WOULD HAVE SEVERLY INJURED OR KILLED MY WIFE. COME TO DISCOVER THERE IS A CHRONIC TIMING CHAIN DESIGN DEFECT AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AT 91K MILES. THE ENGINE WAS MAINTAINED RELIGEOUSLY AND OIL CHANGES WERE WITH NOTHING BUT HIGH QUALITY AMSOIL. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR. FORD MECHANIC STATED THE FAILURE WAS MOST LIKELY DELAYED DUE TO USING AMSOIL, THE FAILURES TYPICALLY OCCUR EARLIER THAN 91K MILES. FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FORD DEALER IS PUTTING A NEW FORD MOTOR IN IT ENTIRELY AT MY EXPENSE. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR A BRAKE PROBLEM INVOLVING THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE VACUUM SYSTEM. FORD COMPLETED THE RECALL BUT MUST HAVE REPLACED THE FAULTY PARTS WITH THE SAME NEW FAULTY PARTS BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. FORD AGAIN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX OR COVER THE COSTS OF THE DESIGN DEFECT PROBLEM. FORD EVEN ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 15N05. NIETHER THE FORD DEALER COMPLETING THE REPAIRS OR THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW ARE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT ALLOW THEM. FORD IS AT FAULT AND BOTH ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT THEY REFUSE TO FIX. THESE DEFECTS ARE UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. SO MUCH FOR FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN!

AS WE DROVE 55 MPH ON STRAIGHT DRY HIGHWAY OUR VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TRAFFIC BEHIND US. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT INTO PARK FO COLLECT OURSELVES AND THEN PROCEEDED STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO DROP VEHICLE OFF. WITH RESEARCH ON THIS DEFECT WE FOUND FORD HAD A RECALL OUT FOR THIS SAME ISSUE (RECALL 16S19 WHICH WE NEVER RECEIVED) WE WERE ADVISED OUR VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL THEREFORE WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WE WERE NOT GIVEN A REASON WHY EVEN THOUGH OUR F150 IS A 2012 AND WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEARBORN MI JULY 2012. (WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET $100 REFUND FROM LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER IT WAS AFTER A LOT OF PHONE CALLS. NOT SURE IF IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM THEM OR MANUFACTURER AND STILL DOES NOT COVER OUT OF POCKET COST OR MONTHS OF TIME SPENT). AFTER WE PICKED UP OUR "REPAIRED"/PAID FOR VEHICLE A FEW WEEKS LATER WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT. WE WERE TAKING TRASH TO THE LOCAL DUMP A MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 30 MPH AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, MILEAGE METER ON DASHBOARD BLANKED OUT AND WRENCH APPEARED ON SCREEN. ON THE WAY INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DRIVING 55 MPH ON DRY PAVEMENT VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, MILEAGE METER ON DASHBOARD BLANKED OUT AND WRENCH APPEARED ON SCREEN. LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ON THEIR OWN, WE HAD TO WAIT OVER 9 DAYS FOR FORD MANUFACTURER TO GET BACK WITH THEM ON HOW TO FIX IT AND SEND PARTS. THEY REPLACED MAIN CONTROL/VALVE BODY IN TRANSMISSION, REPROGRAMMED TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) AND CLEARED SHIFT TABLES. AGAIN THEY DID NOT COVER ANY COSTS AND WE HAD TO PAY HEFTY BILL OUT OF POCKET WHEN THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2012 F150 4X4 SUPER CREW LARIAT ECO BOOST WITH ONLY 41,000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TRANSMISSION SLAMMED INTO FIRST GEAR WITH BOTH CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AFTER THIS, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT INTO IMLAY CITY FORD DEALERSHIP IN MICHIGAN WHERE THEY ASSESSED THE ISSUE TO BE THE LEAD FRAME WHICH UPON FURTHER RESEARCH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN 16N02. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMED ME THAT MY BIN WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND FORCED ME TO PAY 200 DOLLARS TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THEIR KNOWN ISSUE. I HAVE RECEIVED WHIPLASH FROM THE SUDDEN STOP OF MY VEHICLE. MY WORRY IS THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES OUT THERE NOT NOTIFIED BY THIS RECALL THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HONOR THE FULL COST OF REPAIRS.

AROUND THE BEGINNING OF JULY THIS YEAR AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND MY SPEEDOMETER AND DIGITAL GAUGES ON MY 2012 FORD F-150 QUIT WORKING AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SHIFTING VERY HARD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE ENGINE, AND UPON DOING SO IT BEGAN NORMAL OPERATION. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS IT DID THIS SAME THING APPROXIMATELY FOUR (4) MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS THE MOST SERIOUS AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65MPH WHEN MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR AND ALMOST FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD ALONG WITH MY TWO (2) YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS RIDING WITH ME. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND GUIDE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROADWAY. HOWEVER, THIS TIME UPON RESTART THE TRUCK, WHILE PARKED, WAS CONTINUOUSLY REVVING AT ABOUT 6,000RPM'S. UPON A SECOND RESTART IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, CAVALIER FORD CHESAPEAKE SQUARE, AND SPOKE WITH LINDSAY GIVENS WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A "HOT MINUTE" BEFORE SOMEONE COULD LOOK AT MY TRUCK. I DROPPED IT OFF AFTER HOURS THAT NIGHT (07/20/18) WITH A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEMS. I WAS LATER CONTACTED ON 07/24/18, BY PHIL CAUSEY, SAYING THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY TRUCK THE FOLLOWING DAY. I NEVER HEARD ANYMORE AND UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ON 07/27/18, AND SPEAKING TO TANYA HOWARD, I WAS ADVISED MY TRUCK STILL HADN'T BEEN LOOKED AT AND PHIL WAS OFF UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK. ON 07/31/18 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM PHIL AND HE STATED THAT WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING MY TRUCK AROUND IT GOT STUCK IN FIRST GEAR ON THEM AS WELL, AND THEY LOCATED THE PROBLEM IN THE LEADFRAME OF MY TRANSMISSION. THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWS MY TRUCK READ CODES P0722 AND P072.

MY 2012 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCREW ECOBOOST HAS ABOUT 85000 MILES AND ABRUPTLY WENT FROM ABOUT 30-40MPH TO ABOUT 0MPH A FEW TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING. ONCE TIME WAS VERY SCARY ON A CONGESTED ROAD. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, ITS LIKE MY TRANSMISSION MISFIRES AND MISSES GEARS ALL OF THE TIME. THERE IS NOW A VACUUM NOISE ALSO COMING OUT IF THE ENGINE AND IT DOESN'T RUN RIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I PROBABLY WASN'T CHANGING THE OIL PROPERLY (I HAD CHANGED MY OIL EVERY 3000-5000 MILES REGULARLY.), BUT NOW THEY SAID I MESSED UP THE TIMING CHAIN AND PHASERS AND THEY HAD TO BE CHANGED FOR A PRICE OF ABOUT 4000 DOLLARS. I HAVE OWNED OTHER FORDS NOT ECOBOOSTS AND THEY ALL RAN FINE. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH AND I AM SURE THIS IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW ON THE PART OF FORD. I ACTUALLY READ THAT THE NHTSA DID RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC. THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS THAT HAVE THE INFORMATION ON THEM AND BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND DO A RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. I KNOW ITS A BIG PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR TO THE AMERICAN CONSUMER TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A BAD DESIGN FLAW ON APART OF FORD THAT ALMOST GOT ME INTO AN ACCIDENT BAD ONE TIME AND WHEN MY KIDS AND I HAVE TO GO TO AN ERUPT STOP. I DON'T TOW ANYTHING AND DRIVE THE TRUCK LIKE A CAR. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

TWO DAYS LATER, A SUDDEN STOP RESULTED IN A TEMPORARY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THE LEADFRAME CONNECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SAME REPAIR COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PRODUCTION THAT MY TRUCK WAS A PART OF. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR, THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ERRATIC SHIFTING AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED AT THAT TIME.

DID ALL I COULD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. DANGEROUS AND SCARY. SUBSEQUENTLY, I CHECK AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL. WENT TO FORD AND THE VIN WAS PUT INTO THE COMPUTER AND I WAS INFORMED MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HAD VEHICLE REPAIRED COST$1249.00. THE PROBLEM THE DEALER DIAGNOSED WAS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL NOTICE ISSUE. FIX WAS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE LEAD FRAME. INSTALLING MAIN CONTROL ASSEMBLY AND TRANSMISSION PAN. NEW FLUID AND CODES CLEARED. WHAT IS ALSO FRIGHTENING IS ACCORDING TO NTHSA WEB SITE THIS PROBLEM IS SPECIFIC 2011 -2012 AND 2013 F150'S. I AM UNDER 150K IN MILEAGE AND WELL WITHIN 10 YEARS FROM DATE OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE MANY MORE F150S THAT DID NOT COME UNDER THE RECALL MINE BEING ONE OF THEM. NHTSA NOTES THAT ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. WHAT CAN I DO? I HAVE COMPLAINED TO FORD AND HAVE AN OPEN CASE PENDING REVIEW. HOW CAN FORD JUSTIFY SOME VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND OTHERS ARE NOT? ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS AND REMEDY.

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

THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING, HAS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO REMAIN IN 1ST GEAR AFTER THESE INCIDENTS AND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP, AT AN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, IN WHICH CASE THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED AN ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND GONE INTO LIMP MODE, WITH ONLY 5TH GEAR AVAILABLE, WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE ODOMETER TO READ '-------.--' AND THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ '0 MPH', EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, TRAVELLING AT ANY SPEED. VEHICLE IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT OPERATING CONDITIONS. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0720 WAS DISPLAYED DURING THESE INCIDENTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02 FOR 'CERTAIN' VEHICLES, IN WHICH THE DEALERS ARE REPLACE THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE, THIS PROGRAM DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED. WITH MY VEHICLE NOT APPLYING FOR THE NOTED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART AS NOTED WITHIN THE SPECIFIC CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH DEFICIENT MOLDED LEAD FRAMES IS FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY THOUGHT AND THEREFORE, THE RECALL PROGRAM SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL F-150S AND SIMILAR VEHICLES WITHIN THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATES, AS NOTED WITHIN THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND CAUSES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE DRIVERS OF THOSE VEHICLES AND TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.

WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER, AND RESEARCH HAD INDICATED, THAT THE TRUCK NEEDS TO HAVE THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME REPLACED.

THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WITH OUR VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER FORDS RECALL REPAIR CONDITIONS (ABOVE) HAD EXPIRED (16N02 MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED COVERAGE ). THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITHOUT AN EXPIRATION DATE, MILES, OR TIME LIMIT.

MY 2012 FORD F150 HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - SHIFTING INTO HIGHER OR LOWER GEARS THAN IT SHOULD, NOT SHIFTING INTO GEAR, REVVING HIGH WITH LOW POWER, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 0 MPH A LOT OF TIMES, AND AT ONE POINT IT DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65-70MPH ON THE FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY, THAT TIME NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SHOULDER. THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, AND TURN IT ON AGAIN TO GET IT GOING. THE OTHER ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES A DAY AND I CAN GET IT TO WORK AND BACK BUT IT'S A LITTLE DICEY WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND SOMETIMES IN REVERSE TO GET IT GOING. I GOT A DTC P0720 A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEN TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP ON SEPT 18TH. JONES WEST FORD, THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN RENO TOLD ME IT WAS THE LEAD FRAME AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR OVER $700. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYBODY HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR, WITH MY TRANSMISSION, FOR TRUCKS BUILT AT THE PLANT WHERE MY TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE TIME MY TRUCK WAS BUILT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY AND THE DEALERSHIP SAY MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. IT IS HOWEVER SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS OF AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM SEEING IN THE RECALL (I GUESS FORD NOW CALLS IT A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" 16N02). THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME, THEY DIDN'T FIX MY TRUCK, SAID THE PART IS BACK-ORDERED AND I SHOULD COME AND GET MY TRUCK AND TAKE THE CHANCE OF DRIVING IT. I ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE AND THEY SAID NO. AFTER I PICKED IT UP, DRIVING HOME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE HOOD STARTED TO RISE UP. AFTER THEY DIDN'T FIX MY TRUCK, THEY FORGOT TO LATCH THE HOOD. VERY SCARY. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE BUSY FREEWAY, LATCHED THE HOOD.

I QUESTION HOW THIS KNOWN ISSUE OF TIMING CHAIN STRETCH WITH THE TSB IS NOT A RECALL. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN ACCELERATING ON TO A FREEWAY. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. I AM GLAD MY TRUCK IS FIXED, HOWEVER DID NOT LIKE THE PRICE TAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCED SEVERE REDUCED ENGINE POWER DURING A HARD ACCELERATION FOR AN ATTEMPTED PASS. UPON COMPLETION OF A DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDERS 1-3. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED US THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND RESULTS WERE HALLMARK FOR A KNOWN CONDITION RELATED TO MOISTURE ACCUMULATION IN THE CHARGE AIR COOLER (CAC) FOR TURBOCHARGERS IN 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINES OF MY MODEL YEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 54K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT (TYPICAL MILEAGE FOR THE PROBLEM TO MANIFEST). THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTENANCED ONE WEEK AFTER THE INCIDENT AT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM. THE DEALERSHIP CITED THE CAUSE OF THE MISFIRE AS BAD COIL PACKS - 4 OF THEM AT THE TIME OF ARRIVAL. COIL PACKS TYPICALLY HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 100-150K MILES BEFORE FAILURE. HOWEVER, 4 OF THEM WENT BAD (3 SIMULTANEOUSLY) IN A VEHICLE WITH <55K MILES ON IT. LITERATURE POSTED ABOUT OTHERS/SIMILAR SITUATIONS READ THE SAME - BAD COIL PACKS, DUE TO INGESTION OF WATER INTO THE TURBO. AN ISSUE FORD WAS AWARE WOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT THE DEFLECTOR PLATE DUE TO DESIGN FLAW! NO ALERT TO THE OWNERS THAT IT WAS A POTENTIAL CONCERN, BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHECK - NO WORD AT ALL! IF THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR TURBO DESIGN LEADING TO COMPOUNDING PREMATURE FAILURE, WHY WOULDN'T THEY LET THE OWNERS KNOW? THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE HAD AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO INFORM ME OF THE ISSUE IF THAT WAS THEIR INTENTION AS I VISIT REGULARLY. THE CALL CENTER REP SAID THEY DON'T HAVE TO TELL US ANYTHING UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. SO BASICALLY THEY MANUFACTURE DANGEROUS/PROBLEMATIC VEHICLES UNTIL NHTSA SLAPS THEIR HAND ABOUT IT!? I SURELY HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS THIS ISSUE IS REPORTING IT TO NHTSA BUT I DOUBT THEY KNOW IT IS AN OPTION AND FORD IS PROFITING FROM HAVING ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AT THEIR DEALERSHIPS. *TR

VEHICLE SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY. NO PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE CAN BE IDENTIFIED THAT CAUSE IT. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, IN PARKING LOTS, CITY STREETS, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS WARM AND WHEN IT IS COLD. CAUSES PEOPLE AND PROPERTY IN TRUCK TO BE THROWN AROUND. ALSO CAUSES A SUDDEN REDUCTION IN SPEED THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A REAR END ACCIDENT. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 100K MILES. FORD HAS TRIED TO FIX IT AND THEY CAN'T. THEIR IS A RECALL 16S19 FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR BUT FORD SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT'S EITHER A PAPERWORK ISSUE AT FORD AS TO WHAT VEHICLES ARE EFFECTED OR AN UNDERESTIMATION OF HOW FAR REACHING THE ISSUE IS.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, ACCELERATED FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND BETWEEN 30 AND 40MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, COULD NOT ACCELERATE, CHECK WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND ALSO THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT.

DOWNSHIFT WAS SO SUDDEN AND ABRUPT, IT CAUSED MY BACK WHEELS TO LOCK AND ACTUALLY SKIDDED TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP WHILE PASSING A ANOTHER CAR GOING 55 ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. IF OTHER CARS WERE AROUND, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. FORD HAS RECALLED VEHICLES LIKE MINE (RECALL # 16S19) FROM KANSAS CITY, WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MADE. BUT HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW UP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN CANADA. IT WAS EXPORT FROM THE SAME PLAN HAVING THE PROBLEM. THIS SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EFFECT IS LIKE SLAMMING THE BRAKES AT 65 MPH. I WILL BE TAKING IN FOR REPAIRS AT MY EXPENSE. BUT FORD NEEDS TO BE MORE SAFETY CONSCIOUS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL .

I WANT IT FIXED SINCE IT WORKED FINE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. I EITHER WANT IT FIXED OR SWAP FOR A NEW VEHICLE, OR I WILL SEE MY ATTORNEY. I AM TIRED OF THE STRESS. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO BREAK DOWN WHEN I'M TRAVELING OR IT COULD CAUSE A WRECK. I WANT SOMETHING DONE NOW, NOT LATER WHEN IT'S TO LATE.

VIN: [XXX] RECALL DATE: APR 25, 2016 RECALL TITLE: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: AWAITING# FORD RECALL NUMBER: 16S19 RECALL DESCRIPTION: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) SIGNAL TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A TEMPORARY, UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. IN SOME CASES, THE OSS SIGNAL COULD RECOVER WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION; IN OTHER CASES THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED TO REGAIN NORMAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION. FORD IS AWARE OF THREE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS AND NO INJURIES RELATED TO THIS CONDITION ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. RISK TO SAFETY: DEPENDING ON VEHICLE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR MAY OCCUR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE OR LOCK UP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWS. THIS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY PROGRAM: OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED WITH UPDATED SOFTWARE. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. FORD IS EXCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PROGRAM WOULD PROVIDE FOR A FREE REPAIR FOR THIS CONCERN. FORD WILL FORWARD A COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO DEALERS TO THE AGENCY WHEN AVAILABLE. STATUS: 12 - RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

FOR ABOUT A MONTH WE WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK WOULD "DOWN" SHIFT ALL BY ITS SELF AND STOP.

AND THEN 5/21/16 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD AND LOTS "ALL POWER" THE LITTLE " WRENCH SYMBOL CAME PUT AND THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT. SHE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LIKE FORD HAD TOLD US AND NOTHING, TURN IT KEY ON AND OFF STILL NOTHING WAITED ANOTHER 15 MINUTES AND IT WORKED. SO SHE SET THERE AND LET THE TRUCK WARM UP AND SHE WENT TO PULL OUT AND AS SHE DID THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AS SHE PULLED OUT AND THE TRUCK DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. SO WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (PIONEER FORD) AND THE OSS SENSOR HAD BROKE AND WAS CAUSING THE DOWN SHIFT AND LOSE SPEED. SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $450.00 PLUS TOWING FEES. AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE ALL BECAUSE OF THIS OSS CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOSE SPEED OF 65-70 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY. I CAN'T UPLOAD THE INVOICE ON MY IPAD, BUT I COULD FAX IF NEEDED.

TRUCK STARTED TO SKIP OUT OF GEAR WHEN DRIVING; THIS STARTED HAPPENING A YEAR AGO. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN, TX (COVERT FORD), DID A MINOR TRANSMISSION REBUILD; HOWEVER, WE NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD F150 2012 TRANSMISSION, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MODEL WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER NUMEROUS RETURNS TO COVERT DUE TO THE RECURRENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE , WE TOOK THE TRUCK ON AN EXTENDED VACATION TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE TRUCK STARTED TO LOSE POWER ON INCLINES (THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE). WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO DURANGO, CO TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE DURANGO DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW LEADFRAME, SOMETHING WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY THE AUSTIN DEALERSHIP A LONG TIME AGO. COVERT (THE AUSTIN DEALERSHIP) DID INSTALL A TSB COMPONENT, BUT THE OLDER RECALLED VERSION OF IT, WHICH IS WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING THREE DAYS AND 800 MILES FROM HOME FOR THE NEW VERSION OF THE LEAD FRAME TO ARRIVE AND BE INSTALLED BY THE DURANGO DEALERSHIP. COVERT FORD (IN AUSTIN, TX) GROSSLY MISHANDLED THIS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WITH THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGING THE SERVICE BULLETIN, WHICH WE BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!!!

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, FOUR TIMES! THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY GO INTO 'LIMP MODE' CAUSING THE ENGINE TO LOSE ALL POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO CORRECT ITSELF, BUT YOU HAVE TO LET COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR. IF YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY AND SLOWS EVEN MORE! THIS IS A VERY HAIRY SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON RT 95! THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME "UNFORTUNATELY IT'S SUNNY OUT AND WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM "! IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN YOU GO ON TRIPS DURING RAINY DAYS OR IN HEAVY MOISTURE.I LIVE IN MARYLAND AND HAVE A SECOND HOME IN WINSTON-SALEM NC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES WHILL COUTING BETWEEN THE TWO. ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE IS PUT A SO CALLED WATER DEFLECTOR ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AND SUBSEQUENT SURGING EFFECTS CAUSED BY THIS CONDITION RENDERS THE TRUCK HAZARDOUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO AND SERVICED BY FORD. I HAVE ALSO PERSONALLY FILED COMPLAINTS AND CONCERN WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY. SEE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE NUMBER 8603638. THE MISFIRE, BACK FIRE, AND ENGINE STALL IS THE CURRENT ONGOING ISSUE BUT YOU WILL ALSO SEE IN THE SERVICE HISTORY THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED TRACTION CONTROL, DRIVE SHAFT, STEERING SYSTEM, AND SENSOR/ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILURES DATING BACK TO MAY OF 2012. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE ECO BOOST ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN IN MY TRUCK. THIS KNOWN ISSUE WAS RESPONDED TO BY TECH SERVICE BULLETIN 13-2-14. HOWEVER, THE MITIGATION MEASURES OF THAT BULLETIN AND OTHER SUBSEQUENT SERVICE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR MY TRUCK HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. FURTHER, THE SERVICE BULLETIN DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE OF A TRUCK TRAVELING PUBLIC ROADS AND EXPERIENCING SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. FINALLY, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE IGNITION/ENGINE PROBLEMS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HAS CAUSED PREMATURE FAILURE TO OTHER COMPONENTS TO MY DRIVE TRAIN. THIS INCLUDES FOULED SPARK PLUGS, DAMAGED COILS, AND LIKELY ACCELERATED END OF LIFE TO OTHER EMISSION CONTROLS AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS TO THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MISFIRE AND WATER ENTERING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.

I ENDED UP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE 500 MILES IWITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILING HERE AND THERE UNTIL A CODE SHOWED. THIS CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION TO ALL ON THE ROAD AND MUCH UNNEEDED STRESS. I AM VERY CONCERNED WHAT OTHER COMPONENTS HAVE PREMATURE WEAR DUE TO CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY TRUCK IN THIS CONDITION. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED VSC FROM DEALER BUT UNSURE WHAT IT COVERS SO FORD WILL NOT OFFER EXTENDED WARRENTY, ONLY OFFERING OIL CHANGES. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH THIS SAME DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE ACT ON THIS BEFORE DEATHS START OCCURING. AFTER READING UP ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THE SYMTOMS MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED WERE EXACT ALONG WITH THE TRUCK INCREASING RPM'S ALTHOUGH BRAKE WAS APPLIED. INSTINCT IS YOU DONT CONTINUE DRIVING A VECHILE THAT DOESNT SHIFT EVEN DUE TO LIKELYHOOD OF OTHER COMPONENTS FAILING AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IN TRAFFIC.

JULY 6 LOST POWER TO TRUCK ENGINE AT 60 MPH WHEN GOING TO PASS IN HARD ACCELERATION SITUATION. TRUCK ENGINE SHUTTERED FOR OVER 3 MINS UNTIL I COULD GET IT STABILIZED AROUND 2000 RPMS IN A LOWER GEAR/SPEED. THIS WAS THE FIRST OF TWO SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE SAME DAY WITH THE TRUCK AND THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY ANY ACCELERATION OVER 3500 RPMS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER. WE LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME THAT DAY. NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF UNTIL WE COULD GET TRUCK INTO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 7-13. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESEARCHED VIA INFO ON THIS SITE TO NO CONCLUSION. I CAN SAY IF YOU DROVE THIS VEHICLE AND SIMULATED THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD SEE THE MAJOR ISSUE THIS CAUSES AND POTENTIAL RISK OF ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. THE ISSUE CAUSED SPARK PLUG DAMAGE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE TSB (4TH ISSUED BY FORD) TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PERMANENTLY FIX NOT TRY TO PATCH WITH FOUR DIFFERENT TSB. FIX THIS CORRECTLY BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR THAT CAUSE DEATHS.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WILL ONLY MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING THE TRUCK BARELY MOVES THEN IT WILL CATCH AND LUNGE FORWARD AT BREAK-NECK SPEED. THIS SAME THING HAPPENS AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, WILL BE ACCELERATING NORMALLY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RPM AND SPEED GAUGES COMPLETELY DROP THE ENGINE LOSSES ALL POWER AND IF THE PEDAL IS CONTINUED TO BE PRESSED THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD, AGAIN AT BREAK-NECK SPEED. IN A 10 MILE TRIP IT CAN HAPPEN 3 OR 4 TIMES. TODAY WE HAD A NEW EXPERIENCE WHERE WHEN DECELERATING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE MOTOR BEGAN REVVING TO REDLINE ALL WHILE ONLY THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. ON GREEN LIGHT THE ACCELERATION AGAIN WAS LIMITED TO FULL PETAL AND A LIMP TILL BURST MODE. THESE EVENTS ALL SCARE THE FAMILY TO THE POINT OF NOT RIDING IN THE VEHICLE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THE ENGINE ON MY TRUCK STARTED SPUTTERING, THEN LOST SPEED AND POWER VERY RAPIDLY. AT THAT POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE TRUCK ALMOST STALLED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND AVOID OTHER DRIVERS. HAD AN ONCOMING CAR BEEN TOO CLOSE, OR HAD I NOT HAD A PARKING LOT TO PULL INTO, THERE WAS A STRONG POSSIBILITY I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO A LESSER DEGREE IN THE PAST, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT I EXPERIENCED ABOVE, NOR DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER START BLINKING. AT THE TIME I PASSED THIS OFF AS BEING BAD GAS, MY TIRES SLIPPING OR SOME OTHER ISSUE AND THOUGHT NO MORE OF IT. AT THIS POINT I DON'T WANT OTHERS TO GET PUT INTO THE SAME SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING HURT. BECAUSE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL AND ENGINE I FELT COMPELLED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

WHEN THERE WAS SNOW AND ICE ON THE HIGHWAYS I PUT MY TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WHEN TURNED BACK INTO 2 WHEEL DRIVE I BEGAN TO NOTICE A GRINDING AND VIBRATION NOISE THAT OCCURRED WHEN TURNING. THEN COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE NOISE STARTED WHEN BACKING OUT CAUSING TRUCK TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER TO BARELY BACK OUT. THIS NOISE CONTINUED AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND LOOKED OVER. UPDATES WERE MADE AS WELL AS OIL CHANGE BUT DAYS LATER NOISE CAME BACK. SINCE 2/12/15 MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES AND HAS PERFORMED RECOMMENDATIONS BY FORD BUT DAYS LATER NOISE COMES BACK. THE LAST TIME MY TRUCK WAS IN I WAS TOLD BY THE OWNER AND SERVICE MANAGER MY TRUCK IS NOT FIXABLE AS THEY WERE INFORMED OTHER 2012 F150'S ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES AND AN INVESTIGATION IS BEING DONE. SINCE THIS MY TRUCK IS SHAKING MORE BACKING UP, JERKING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IF LOSING POWER THAN WILL GAIN POWER AND JOLT FORWARD, I HEAR THIS GRINDING NOISE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS FROM 30-60 MPH, TURNS, AND BACKING UP. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRUCK GETS TO 60 MPH OR HIGHER IT DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN UNLESS I LET UP ON PEDAL AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN. I AM FEELING UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AS TWICE NOW I HAVE HEARD A POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR ME. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT LIKE THIS. *TR

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK ACTIVATES BY IT'S SELF. LIGHT COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWING REAR AXLE LOCKED. REAR AXLE LOCKS UP AT SPEEDS BELOW 20 MPH. IF STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR SIGN YOUR REAR WHEELS WILL DRAG AS IF THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. IF GOING OVER 20 MPH SOME TIMES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MESSAGE CENTER LIGHTS UP AND SAYS YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 20 MPH TO APPLY REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK. HAPPENS MOSTLY IN 2WD. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR OVER 6,000 MILES. CAN BE ON DRY PAVEMENT OR ROUGH SURFACE. HAVE NOTICED THAT THE 4WD MODE SWITCH ON DASH WILL SEEM LOOSE AND THE KNOB WILL PULL OUT IF YOU HIT A ROUGH ROAD SURFACE. I HAVE REPLACED THE MODE SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE (1) TIME AT MY EXPENSE P/N CL3Z-14B166-EA. DEALER AND FORD STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM.

AFTER DRIVING IN RAINING CONDITIONS FOR MORE THAN FOUR HOURS, I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I ACCELERATED, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. BECAUSE OF THIS, I NEARLY CAUSE A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT DO TO MY INABILITY TO CONTROL MY TRUCKS RAPIDLY REDUCING SPEED. THE SAME ISSUE OR TYPE OF ISSUE OCCURRED IN LATE AUGUST OF 2013 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. UPON ACCELERATION ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE REDUCED POWER, FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. A FORD DEALERSHIP COMPLETED TSB-13-8-1, HOWEVER, IT WAS RELUCTANTLY DONE AS NO CODE WOULD VERIFY A PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHO ONCE I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE TSB-13-8-1 PERFORMED. I MENTIONED IT HAD BEEN PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS A CODE COULD VERIFY A PROBLEM, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, WITH MANY OCCURRENCES. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF SOMEONE DOESN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE "CREATED" BY A MECHANIC TO, IT ONLY HAPPENS IN REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS. IS THERE SOMETHING SOMEONE CAN DO TO MAKE FORD RESEARCH, IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE BEFORE EVEN ONE DEATH? *TR

I WAS WITH MY FAMILY ON THE WAY TO CHURCH. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS IN POWER AND WAS UNABLE TO RESUME ACCELERATION. THE HIGHWAY ALSO HAS A MODERATE INCLINE IN SLOPE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED FROM THE CAR HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY A SUBSTANTIAL DISTANCE AWAY. LUCKILY THE CAR THAT WAS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN FAST ENOUGH CONSIDERING WE HAD A 1 YEAR AND 4 YEAR OLD SON IN THE BACK SEAT. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT THEY COULD OFFER TO CHECK THE PROBLEM WAS ON WEDNESDAY 10/10/2014. THIS IS OVER 3 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT SO I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND IT SEEMS FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS EVEN ATTEMPTING TO MODIFY THE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM AND RE FLASH THE PCM. WITH ISSUES LIKE THE MILLIONS OF VEHICLES BEING RECALLED FOR AIRBAGS THAT HAVE LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, FAR BEYOND THE MANUFACTURE ORIGINALLY BECOMING AWARE OF THE ISSUES. HOW LONG IS THE ISSUE REGARDING THE 2011-2013 FORD F150 ECOBOOST GOING TO REMAIN SHOVED UNDER THE RUG? HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE FORD TAKES ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK. IN THEIR REPORT TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE), IT IS MORE THAN OBVIOUS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED A DEFECT IN THE 2012 FORD F150 AND THE ECOBOOST ENGINES WITHIN THE TRUCKS. CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THEY ARE NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR RISKING THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE. ALSO, WHY IS THE NHTSA ALLOWING FORD TO SHRUG THIS OFF AND CLOSE THIS INVESTIGATION? THERE IS A CLEAR DEFECT PRESENT THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF LEADING TO LOSS OF LIFE. IS THIS NOT PURE NEGLIGENCE? *TR

I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 6 HOURS WITH INTERMITTENT RAIN, ABOUT 3.5 HOURS SINCE LAST STOP, 1/2 TANK OF GAS REMAINING. LOCATION WAS I-65 NORTH NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN, KY, 11:15 PM, WITH MIST, WET ROAD AND SPRAY. WEATHER RECORDS INDICATE 50 DEGREES AND FALLING, LIGHT RAIN, 84% HUMIDITY. I HAD THE F-150 IN 4WD-AUTO MODE DUE TO THE ROAD CONDITIONS. FOR SEVERAL MILES ANOTHER CAR HAD BEEN CONTINUALLY STAYING IN MY BLIND SPOT IN THE LANE IMMEDIATELY TO THE LEFT, DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO CLEAR WITH GRADUAL REDUCTIONS/INCREASES IN MY SPEED. MY GENERAL CRUISING SPEED WAS ABOUT 70 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE APPROACHING A VERY SLOW-MOVING TRACTOR TRAILER, SO I ACCELERATED MODERATELY-HARD TO MOVE AHEAD OF THE CAR TO MY LEFT AND WAS CHANGING INTO THAT LANE WHEN THE F-150 STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOST SPEED. MY WIFE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD COLLIDED WITH SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. I QUICKLY VEERED BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND BRAKED HARD, NARROWLY AVOIDING AN ACTUAL COLLISION. I SUSPECTED WE HAD SOME TYPE OF ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT WHILE COASTING THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY. I SWITCHED FROM 4WD-AUTO TO 2WD AND TRIED TO GENTLY ACCELERATE AGAIN, BUT THE F-150 STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD, AND BY THE TIME I CAME TO A STOP THE LIGHT HAD STOPPED FLASHING. I CHECKED ALL AROUND AND UNDER THE VEHICLE, UNDER HOOD, GAUGES, ETC. WITH NO FURTHER SIGN OF A PROBLEM. I STOPPED AND STARTED THE ENGINE, THEN DROVE AWAY AND THE F-150 PERFORMED NORMALLY FOR REMAINDER OF TRIP TO LOUISVILLE, KY.

WEATHER WAS DRIZZLE RAIN THAT HAD BEEN CONTINUOUS FOR LAST 2 HOURS OF TRIP TIME AND THERE WAS STANDING WATER ON ROADWAY. I WAS IN A 65 MPH LOCATION, FLAT ROADWAY, AND CAME UPON A SMALL CAR DOING LESS THAN 60 MPH ON THE TURNIGAN ARM AREA OF THE SEWARD HIGHWAY (2 LANE-OPPOSING TRAFFIC). IT WAS CLEAR AND I BEGAN TO PASS. AS I CLEARED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A LARGE CLASS A RV HAD FOLLOWED ME TO PASS THE CAR. I CONTINUED AT 65-70 MPH TO FINISH PASSING AND MY TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING AND LOSING POWER AND SPEED, NO LIGHTS OR PROBLEMS SHOWN ON DASH. THE RV THAT FOLLOWED ME WAS ON MY REAR END AND TRYING TO FIT BACK INTO THE LANE WITHOUT RUNNING THE SMALL VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AS OPPOSING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. I COULD DO NOTHING BUT SIGNAL AND PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AS I STOPPED AND PUT TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND REVVED THE ENGINE IT APPEARED FINE. I WAITED FOR A CLEARING IN TRAFFIC AND PULLED BACK IN AND ACCELERATED WITH NO PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CORRECTED THAT QUICKLY WITH OUT ME SHUTTING IT OFF.

I ASKED IF IT WOULD BE RECORDED AS A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD NO, THAT UNLESS THEY COULD WITNESS THE EVENT OR THERE WAS A COMPUTER CODE, THE COMPLAINT WOULD NOT BE DOCUMENTED....I ESCALATED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, WE AGREED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR A BIT AND SEE IF THEY COULD REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, BUT, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE T HAT COULD BE DONE. OBVIOUSLY, IF I HAD BEEN DOING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK. *TR

2012 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, HE FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK OFF THE MAIN INTERSTATE AND INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HE LET THE TRUCK SIT IN THE OFF POSITION FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AND THEN HE RE-STARTED THE TRUCK. AT THAT POINT, HE WAS SLOWLY ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, TO A SPEED THAT ALLOWED HIM TO RE-ENTER THE INTERSTATE. ALL ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY FAILED AND IT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE GRADUALLY AT SLOWER THEN NORMAL SPEEDS. HE CONTINUED HIS TRIP WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AT HIS FIRST OPPORTUNITY HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE CONSUMER SAYING THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK PERFORMED WELL FOR THE NEXT YEAR WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS, THERE WERE NO OCCASIONS WHERE QUICK ACCELERATION WAS REQUIRED. IN OCTOBER 2013, HE MADE ANOTHER TRIP, AND THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED. THEN ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2013. THE DEALER STATED THEY MADE A DIFFERENT REPAIR AND THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE CONSUMER. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AGAIN IN APRIL 2014. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE, FOR TWO WEEKS, STATING THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. *JB

MY TWO CHILDREN AND I WERE DRIVING UP HWY 75 NORTH FROM MACON WHEN WE ACCELERATED TO THE NEXT LANE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 SO WE WERE JUST GOING TO PASS IN AT A NORMAL RATE WHEN THE ENGINE JUST QUITS AND THE WHOLE CAR STARTS TO SHUDDER. NOW I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT 19,000 MILES AND TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS ONLY ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. WENT IN TODAY BEFORE I READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS 3.5 ECO BOOST ENGINE AND THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS I EXPERIENCED. IT WAS RAINING ON WHEN WE HAD THIS HAPPEN BUT IT OCCURRED BEFORE WITH NO RAIN. AS THE TRUCK STOPPED AND SHUDDERED WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DID NOT GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE ARE SIX LANES OF TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA. SURPRISED TODAY WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW OF THE PROBLEMS OR HAVE EVER HEARD OF IT. ????? SO BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ I CALLED BACK ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES. *TR

THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND MISSING AT TIMES. THE VEHICLE GAS MILEAGE HAD DECREASED OVER THE LAST FEW TIMES DRIVING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. NOT FLASHING JUST ILLUMINATED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AS THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND VAPOR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF THESE 2012 ECOBOOST MOTORS ARE LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING.

VERY COLD MORNING, 3/4/2012, VEHICLE STARTED BY REMOTE AT 5:30AM. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AFTER STARTING, I WENT OUT, OPENED BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS, PUT MY GEAR IN THE BACK SEAT, CLOSED THE REAR DOOR, GOT IN THE DRIVER SEAT , CLOSED THE DOOR, PUT SEAT BELT ON, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MOVED CONSOLE SHIFT LEVER TO R, WHEN A VERY LOUD BANG OCCURRED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN. I LOOKED AROUND BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A WINDOW, BUT COULD NOT TELL WITH SALT SPRAY ON WINDOWS AND DARKNESS. I DROVE ROUGHLY 12 MILES, PICKED UP A CO-WORKER WHO GOT IN AND ASKED IMMEDIATELY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR REAR WINDOW? I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER A SHORT TIME LATER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I COULD NOT DO THAT UNTIL SATURDAY 3/8/14. WHEN THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT FORD AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 8-10 DAYS FOR A DETERMINATION. THEY SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE OF A LARGER PROBLEM THAN JUST MY WINDOW. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE WEB, I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR. ON MONDAY 3/10/14 AFTER WORK, I GOT IN MY TRUCK, ONLY TO HAVE MOST OF THE GLASS FALL OUT WHEN I CLOSED MY DOOR. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THE DEALER HAD TAPED THE GLASS , I THOUGHT IT WAS LAMINATED. BECAUSE I NOW HAD A BIG HOLE IN WINDOW, I STOPPED AT A GLASS COMPANY, TO SEE HOW SOON THEY COULD REPLACE IT, WITH RAIN AND SNOW PREDICTED FOR MIDWEEK. WHEN THEY CALLED TO CHECK AVAILABILITY, THEY WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE, THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM W/ THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLOWING OUT. I BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS KNOWN THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AS EVIDENCED BY WEB BLOGS DOCUMENTING THE PROBLEM AND FORD'S DELAY OR DENIAL IN TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEMS. SOME COMPLAINTS HAVE STATED THAT CHILDREN WERE IN THE REAR SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE IMPLOSION. I WOULD THINK THAT ANYONE EXPOSED TO THE NOISE THAT IT MAKES COULD BE SUBJECT TO HEARING LOSS. RECALL ? *TR

F150 ECO BOOST 2012 WILL NOT RUN RIGHT WHEN ITS DAMP OR RAINING IT SHUTTERS AND MISSES WHILE DRIVING IT FORD HAS WORKED ON IT OVER AND OVER AND IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUES IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE. THEY TELL U WHEN U BUY IT THAT IT GET 22MPG BUT IT REALLY GET 12 TO 14 MPG THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED OR ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE NEW MY FUEL MILEAGE HAS BEEN DECLINING AND I WAS EXPERIENCING A SHUDDER, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL). DEALER PERFORMED A TSB AND REPLACED THE CHARGED AIR COOLER AND REPROGRAMMED THE PCM. THIS LEFT ME WITH WORSE MILEAGE AND A NOTICEABLE LOSS OF POWER. THIS PROGRESSED UNTIL 1-19-14 WHERE I LOST ENGINE POWER AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING CAR. WHEN I FLOORED IT, THE TRANS SHIFTED DOWN TO 2ND, AND THE ENGINE SHOOK AND THE TRUCK SLOWED. ONCE I LEFT MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AND COASTED FOR 30 SECONDS, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL, UNLESS I FLOORED IT AGAIN. NO CEL WAS OBSERVED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED ALL 6 SPARK PLUGS DUE TO FOULING. I THINK THERE IS WATER INGESTION ISSUE AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE PLUGS TO FOUL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD BEEN IN FRONT A FAST MOVING VEHICLE, I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND GOTTEN REAR ENDED. *TR

HAVING RECURRING ISSUES WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINE ON MY 2012 F-150. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE RELATED ISSUES: 3/13/13- ENGINE LIGHT ON, SHUTTERING, SHAKING, AND WON'T GO OVER 70 ON HIGHWAY.

ALSO REPAIRED TRANSMISSION ISSUE. 1/18/13- ENGINE LIGHT ON. REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER BANK. 1/27/14- CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NEW INFORMATION. FORD FORWARDED THIS INFORMATION TO THE REGIONAL DEALERSHIP MANAGER. 2/2/14- STILL HAVING CAC INTERCOOLER ISSUES DURING SNOW STORM. 2/4/14- FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CLOSED CLAIM. NEVER CONTACTED BY ANY DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE REGARDING MY CONCERNS. I FEEL THAT I AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM FORD ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER. I DO NOT THINK THEY ARE TAKING THE ISSUES WITH THESE F150 TRUCKS SERIOUSLY ENOUGH. NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FOUND, AT LEAST NOT WITH MY TRUCK. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO ONE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT ANOTHER ONE CAN. FURTHERMORE, IT CONCERNS ME THAT THIS INTERCOOLER PROBLEM CAN CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROADWAY, YET, THE DEALERSHIP MAKES A REPAIR WITHOUT INSTALLING ALL OF THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELLING ON A 4-LANE, 65MPH HIGHWAY WHEN I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL. THE TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD HAVE. INSTEAD, IT ACTED AS IF IT WAS COASTING. THERE WAS NO POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN WHEN I MOVED THE GAS PEDAL TO DIFFERENT POSITIONS. WHEN THE TRUCK FINALLY SEEMED TO RESUME POWER, IT STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE SHOCKED PASSENGER AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, THEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE PARTS STREWN ON THE ROAD BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY, IT SMOOTHED OUT AND THERE WERE NO MORE ISSUES ON THAT TRIP. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THAT TRUCK FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS WITH VARIOUS FORMS OF PRECIPITATION AT THE TIME. THIS WAS DECEMBER 21, 2013. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS ON DECEMBER 28, 2013. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY AND DRY. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 50 MINUTES. I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN TO OVERTAKE A VEHICLE AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO OVERTAKE DUE TO NO POWER. AGAIN, I WORKED THE THROTTLE TO NO AVAIL. THE TRUCK FINALLY RECOVERED BUT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AGAIN. AS BEFORE, IT SMOOTHED OUT. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SHOWING NO CODES AND THAT THEIR TECHS COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS I HAD MENTIONED. I CHECKED ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND FOUND THIS ISSUE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE SERVICE BULLETINS. MY THEORY IS THAT THERE IS A COMPUTER PROGRAMMING PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO THIS DIRECT-INJECTION, TURBO GASOLINE ENGINE. I PLAN ON TRADING FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN ECOBOOST ENGINE, AS THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS. *TR

THIS UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH SINCE BUYING IT AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS MORE THAN JUST A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT AND NEW PARTS. I HAVE NOTICED THROUGH SOME RESEARCH THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THE POSTS ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM FIXED BUT END UP PAST THE WARRANTY MARK BEFORE FORD IS ABLE TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

2012 F150 3.5 ECOBOOST, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS THE TRUCK SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY AND TEMPORARILY LOSES POWER. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHILE TRAVELING FROM A 40 MPH ZONE INTO A 55 MPH ZONE WITH CLOSELY FOLLOWING TRAFFIC THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUDDER AS DESCRIBED, THEN LOST POWER COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO COAST TO A STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS NEARLY STRUCK FROM BEHIND, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT AND REMAINED IDLING VERY ROUGHLY. I SHUT THE IGNITION OFF, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RE-STARTED THE ENGINE, THEN CONTINUED HOME. I AM BECOMING VERY CONCERNED THAT THESE EVENTS MAY CAUSE A CRASH AND SOMEONE COULD BE INJURED OR KILLED. I'M MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER FOR SERVICE BUT AFTER READING MANY FORUMS, I'M NOT OPTIMISTIC THAT THE PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED. *TR

IN FIRST INSTANCE, I WAS ABLE TO MERGE IN THE LEFT LANE AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. AS VEHICLE COASTED, THE SHUDDER SUBSIDED AND WITHIN 1 MINUTE STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. IN THE SECOND INSTANCE, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MERGE AND I WAS FORCED TO COAST ALONG THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE SHUDDER SUBSIDED AND POWER WAS RESUMED. IN NEITHER SITUATION, DID THE VEHICLE GO INTO SAFE MODE OR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR. VEHICLE SIMPLY RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE FROM LITTLE ROCK TO HOUSTON ON A RAINY / HUMID DAY WITH THE TEMPERATURE AT ABOUT 80-85 DEGREES, I ACCELERATED QUICKLY TO PASS ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY AND WE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND PULLING OFF AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE TRIP. THE SECOND TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, BUT ENDED UP GOING OFF. THE THIRD TIME THE LIGHT FLASHED AND STAYED ON. AFTER GETTING BACK TO HOUSTON I TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND THEY "REPROGRAMMED THE CAC" AND INSTALLED A NEW "AIR DAM DEFLECTOR PLATE." I JUST GOT THE VEHICLE BACK SO I DO NOT YET KNOW IF THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY, HOWEVER, I HAVE SEARCHED NUMEROUS BLOGS AND WEBSITES AND DISCOVERED THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINES. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS NOT OFFERED ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POWER LOSS (AND EXACTLY AT A CRITICAL TIME WHEN POWER IS NEEDED) WERE FRIGHTENING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAD I BEEN PASSING ON A TWO-LANE ROAD INSTEAD OF A 4-LANE HIGHWAY, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HEAD-ON COLLISION, A SECOND CAR REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE, OR A LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO THE SHUDDERING AND INSTABILITY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DID CONTACT FORD REGARDING THIS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AND THEY JUST RECOMMENDED THAT I HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE. IT IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DON'T 1) RECALL THE VEHICLES THAT MAY EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AND, 2) LET THE GENERAL PUBLIC KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE - FOR THOSE PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE. IT IS DECEPTIVE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. *TR

I PUT MY TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND IT HESITATES, JUMPS BACK AND FOURTH BEING REAL SLUGGISH. THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS IS TO FLOOR THE GAS AND LET IT PUSH THROUGH FOR ABOUT FIVE TO TEN SECONDS AND THEN IT IS DONE. WHICH IS HARD TO DO WHEN IT IS TIME TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND I AM IN A SCHOOL ZONE. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT, BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. IF I LET THE CAR REMAIN OFF FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES THEN THE CYCLE CAN CONTINUE. SOMETIMES IT STARTS UP AND DRIVES FINE. I NOTICE IT IS MORE AND MORE PREVALENT AS THE MILES CLIMB UP. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING AND IS STILL DOING THIS. SINCE AROUND 20000 MILES THE TRUCK HESITATES ON THE ROAD AFTER DRIVING FOR SOMETIME. SO NOW IT HAPPENS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT, JUST DOESN'T ADMIT TO OR TRY TO FIX. MY BEST FRIEND HAD TO TRADE HIS TRUCK IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A PROBLEM JUST LIKE THE ACCELERATION OF THE TOYOTAS. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS SPORADICALLY BUT IT IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL, IT IS JUST THE COMPUTER GETTING USED TO MY DRIVING. I DON'T MAKE A HABIT OF MAKING MY TRUCK HESITATE AT ALL. SO THIS IS A DUMB RESPONSE THAT ONCE AGAIN, MANY PEOPLE ONLINE GET THE SAME ANSWER. I AM NEARING MY 36000 MARK. SO I KNOW THIS IS ABOUT TO COST ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET TO FIX BECAUSE THE FORD HOUSE WILL JUST SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND NOT FIX IT. SO MY QUESTION IS ARE TRANSMISSIONS REALLY THIS CHEAP AND WE JUST MOVE ON AND ACCEPT THAT CRAFTSMANSHIP IN AMERICA OR DO WE MAKE FORD FIX THEIR ISSUE. I HAVE PURCHASED MANY VEHICLES THROUGHOUT MY 39 YEARS IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR ACT LIKE THIS ON SUCH A WIDE SCALE WITH NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT.

BUT WHEN I NEED THE RESPONSE TO BE VERY QUICKLY, IT DOES NOT RESPOND. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WHEN I PULL MY CAMPER. IT WILL BE PERFORMING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WILL NEED TO PUSH DOWN THE PEDAL TO GET POWER UP A HILL AND AGAIN, THERE IS NO POWER.

THE ENGINE CONTINUED ON AS NORMAL - GIVEN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS I DID NOT ATTEMPT A SECOND HARD ACCELERATOR APPLICATION. IT WAS RAINING AND HAD BEEN RAINING ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CALL FORD AND WAS GIVEN A TSB REPAIR CODE. IT IS FORD TSB 13-8-1 - AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE THIS TSB WAS 12-10-19 AND 12-6-4.

FORD F150 2012 ECOBOOST EXT CAB 4X4 XLT AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND STOPPING AT A REST AREA I BEGAN TO REENTER THE INTERSTATE. AS I ACCELERATED ON THE ONRAMP TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE SO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR EVEN HARDER. THE TRUCK WAS IN 5TH GEAR AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 4TH. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND LOOSE POWER. AT THIS POINT I PANICKED AND PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR EVEN HARDER. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR AT WHICH POINT IT LOST ALL POWER. ALL THAT I COULD DO WAS LET OUT AT THIS POINT AND HOPE TO REGAIN POWER. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC HAD MOVED OVER BY THE TIME I HAD MADE IT TO THE END OF THE ONRAMP AT WHICH POINT THE TRUCK HAD A CLEAR AND DEFINITIVE MISS AND VERY LITTLE POWER. THE TRUCK SLOWLY ACCELERATED UP TO 60 MPH AND CONTINUED TO MISS FOR ANOTHER QUARTER MILE. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY PARENTS HOME 5 HOURS LATER WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT OF FULL LOSS OF POWER I DROPPED MY WIFE OFF TO GET HER CAR. AS I PULLED OUT THE DRIVEWAY ONLY MINUTES LATER I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF THE TRUCK WOULD DO IT AGAIN. THE TRUCK FELL ON ITS FACE. I COULD HAVE GOT OUT AND RAN FASTER. ONCE AGAIN IS MISSED FOR A QUARTER MILE AND CLEARED UP. TODAY, I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK TRIP INTO TOWN TO PICK UP SOMETHING FOR MY WIFE.

IT SHUDDERED SO HARD; I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT DIED. IT WAS MISSING AND SHUDDERING LIKE CRAZY. I PULLED OFF EXIT 1, SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN AND RESTARTED. IT RAN OK WITHOUT THAT SAME THING HAPPENING ON THE WAY HOME. I HAD A PRETTY DESCENT "MISS" IN 6TH GEAR, RUNNING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH. SOMETHING VERY STRANGE HAPPENED HERE. IT WAS THE FIRST ISSUE I'VE HAD WITH MY TRUCK. ALTHOUGH I'VE NOTICED RECENTLY THE MPG IS DOWN BY 2.0 MPG OR MORE FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS, AND THIS FROM REFUELING AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, AND THE SAME DRIVING STYLE. FORD APPLIED THE TSB TO REPROGRAM THE PCM/TCM TO LATEST LEVEL, INSTALLED A DEFLECTOR SHIELD ON THE INTERCOOLER AND POSSIBLY REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IF NEEDED. JULY, 2013- THIS WEEKEND WHILE DRIVING ON I-65N, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS THIS ISSUE WHEN IT'S RAINY AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE RAIN FOR SEVERAL (50 OR MORE) MILES. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO SOME TYPE OF SAFE MODE AND WILL BARELY LIMP OFF THE ROAD. IF THIS ISSUE WERE TO OCCUR WHILE CROSSING A FOUR LANE HWY, AND SPUTTERED ONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR INJURE SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ECOBOOST ACCELERATING UPON TAKE OFF OR GETTING ON TO ROAD WAYS NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE COME CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BECAUSE OF NO POWER UPON ACCELERATING NOW THIS HAS BEEN GOING SINCE PURCHASE NEW WITH ONLY 116 MILES AND PURCHASE DATE 3-17-2013. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION FOR THE VEHICLE TO HAVE LAG TIME BEFORE POWER.MY FEELING IS IF YOU ARE SITTING AT A LIGHT AND YOU GIVE THE VEHICLE GAS THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE SLOW AND THEN DO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND COULD CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY TO SOMEONE UNSAFE TRUCK. NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN OR WHEN IT IS DOWN WILL NOT GO UP THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE FORD HAS SOME ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR HURT BAD. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY MY TRUCK LOST ACCELERATION AT 60 MPH. I LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND EASED INTO IT. THE WHOLE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTERING AND TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESET THE ECU. ONCE I TOOK OFF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IT'S JUST SCARY KNOWING THAT I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR

Mileage: 21,734

DRIVING TURNPIKE AT 1:30AM WITH WET ROADS BUT NOT RAINING. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT 75 MPH. APPROACHING A BRIDGE AND UPON STARTING TO CLIMB ON THE INCLINE I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAD DISENGAGED THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED PULSATING ON AND OFF SO I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK DID NOT REACT BUT SINCE I WAS GOING 75 IT TOOK ME OVER THE BRIDGE AND THEN I COASTED DOWN THE BRIDGE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND PLACED TRUCK IN PARK THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND WAITED ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN I TURNED THE KEY BACK ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED UP WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY SIGN OF PROBLEMS. I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO MIAMI WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD OF HOMESTEAD AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT PULL A CODE OUT OF THE COMPUTER THAT SHOWED ANYTHING HAD HAPPENED. I LATER TOOK THE TRUCK AGAIN THIS TIME MAKING NOISES WHEN U ACCELERATED IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHUDDERING AND AGAIN NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO REPLICATE IT. AGAIN ON OR AROUND MARCH 2013 I TOOK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AND TRIED TO REPLICATE THE SHUDDERING BETWEEN 3 OR 4 TH GEAR TO NO AVAIL. THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND ON THE SAME BRIDGE AGAIN WITH WET ROADS MADE THE SHUDDERING SOUND AND FEELING BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND THE TRUCK UPON GETTING TO THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE CONTINUED WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TURNED OFF AND ON. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT WHENEVER I GUESS THE TRUCK ACCELERATES TO GAIN SPEED TO GO OVER THE BRIDGE OR AFTER LEAVING A STOP OR RED LIGHT BETWEEN 3 OR 4 TH GEARS IT SHUDDERS AND WHEN THE BRIDGE COMES AROUND IT GOES TO A LOWER GEAR AND STARTS LOSING POWER. WHEN IT HAPPENS BETWEEN 3 OR 4TH GEARS IT IS WITH ME ACCELERATING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK HAS A MEMORY IF YOU DRIVE IT HARD OR SOFTLY IT REMEMBERS THIS AND SHIFTS DIFFERENTLY. *TR

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO A LOSS OF POWER WHILE PASSING IN RAINY CONDITIONS IN MY 2012 F-150 CREW CAB 4X4 3.5 V-6 ECO BOOST. AFTER DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (25-35MPH) AND FAIRLY CONSTANT THROTTLE ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A VEHICLE STARTING AT 50 MPH. AS SOON AS I WAS ON BOOST I EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER FORCING ME TO TAKE VIOLENT EVASIVE MANEUVERS INCLUDING FULL BRAKING AND HITTING THE SHOULDER, TO BARELY AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. AS THE BED WAS EMPTY I ASSUMED THAT I SPUN THE TIRES ON THE VERY WET HIGHWAY AND HIT A REV-LIMITER AS IT FELT LIKE I LOST SEVERAL CYLINDERS. ONCE IT RETURNED TO 6TH GEAR AND ABOUT 1500 RPM THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. SUBSEQUENTLY I HAVE ROLLED ON THE THROTTLE SLOWLY WHEN REQUIRING FULL POWER IN WET CONDITIONS. AFTER READING ABOUT THE OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES I REALIZED THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGING SYSTEM. WITH THIS IN MIND I NOW REGULARLY GO TO BOOST WHERE I DON'T NEED THE POWER TO REMOVE THE CONDENSATION FROM THE INTERCOOLER WHEN CONDITIONS ARE WET. *TR

WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT PERIODICALLY HAS HAD AN ISSUE OF SELECTING THE GEAR. SOMETIMES IT HAS HELD ONTO 1ST GEAR WITHOUT CHANGING TO SECOND, MOST RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN SKIPPING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH GEAR. I'VE RECORDED A VIDEO (LINK AT THE BOTTOM) TO BETTER DEMONSTRATE. I DRIVE THE TRUCK IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT (OAHU) + WASH MY CAR REGULARLY (NOTHING IN THE ENGINE, OTHER THEN SPRAYING THE GRILL) - AS I'VE HEARD OF SIMILAR RELATED ISSUES. I'VE UPLOADED A VIDEO OF IT TO YOUTUBE WHICH WAS RECORDED YESTERDAY AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT (I HAD TRIED TO TROUBLESHOOT IT 3 DIFFERENT WAYS AFTER PULLING OVER - 1. GOING INTO THE LOW GEARS (1, THEN 2), THEN DRIVE 2. I TRIED MANUALLY TELLING THE VEHICLE WHICH GEAR I WANTED TO BE IN (IT BLINKED TO INDICATE I'M LOCKED OUT) 3.

I WAS MERGING ON THE ON RAMP TO OBTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED I STEPPED ON THE GAS WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE REALLY BAD. I TRIED TO STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE BUT THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE TO THE ENGINE AS THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO LOSE SPEED. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STEP ON THE GAS THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE EVEN WORSE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I WOULD NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS SHUDDER IN THE TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO I-74 NEAR INDIANAPOLIS, IN. THE ECOBOOST ENGINE LOST POWER AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK SHOOK AND VIBRATED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ONLY RUNNING ON A COUPLE OF CYLINDERS AND HAD VIRTUALLY NO POWER. WE WERE NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI THAT WE WERE TRYING TO MERGE WITH. I DROVE VERY SLOWLY ON THE SHOULDER FOR AN EXTENDED TIME AS THERE WAS NO PLACE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY IT SEEMED TO REGAIN POWER AND WE HEADED ON HOME TO ILLINOIS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE WITH TWO MOTORCYCLES IN THE BED OF THE TRUCKS, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. HAVE SINCE SEEN THIS REFERRED TO AS THE SHUDDER THAT SOMETIMES PRECEDES THE LIMP MODE WHICH RESULTS IN POWER FAILURE. AFTER CHANGING LANES AND MONITORING TIRES ON NEARBY VEHICLES IN MOTION WE CONFIRMED IT WAS NOT THE ROAD. I HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCED IT AGAIN BUT CANNOT RECREATE THE BEHAVIOR ON DEMAND AND IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY ON LONG TRIPS WITH A LOAD IN THE TRUCK. *TR

FORD F150 CREW CAB - LARIAT - V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN NOT TOWING, NOT ENGAGED IN 4X4 MODE AND OCCURS RANDOMLY IN WET, DAMP AND DRY CONDITIONS. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60) ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY, TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS SEMI TRUCK AND TRUCK SHUDDERED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. ONLY METHOD OF GETTING TRUCK MOVING WAS TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND LET THE TRUCK SIT, TURNED OFF FOR 2 - 3 MINUTES. IT TOOK 5 OR 6 OF THESE STOPS TO GET TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE A TSB WAS REFERRED TO AND IT WAS SUGGESTED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE CONTINUE ON OUR VACATION AND STOP IN TALLAHASSEE TO HAVE A LARGER DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK. THE TALLAHASSEE CREW UPDATED THE COMPUTER AND PROVIDED A REPORT FOR BILL CURRIE FORD IN TAMPA, TO INSTALL A SHIELD OF SOME SORT ONCE WE RETURNED, AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. BILL CURRIE SERVICE REPORTED THAT THE SHIELD WAS ALREADY IN PLACE WHEN REPORTED A FEW DAYS LATER. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO BILL CURRIE FORD A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FINAL TIME TO HAVE A FORD TECH DO THE WORK. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. OVERALL THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN IT WAS ADVERTISED. I GOT 18.7MPG WITH MY PREVIOUS 6.2L F150 AND I HAVE YET TO GET MORE THAN 17.8 ON THE ECOBOOST. AROUND TOWN I ALSO GET MUCH LOWER MILEAGE (11.7MPG AS OPPOSED TO 14.9 WITH THE 6.2L ENGINE. THE SHUDDER/LOSS OF POWER OCCURS RANDOMLY AND HAS RESULTED IN NEAR CRASHES AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE MONTHS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK, ALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

TRAVELING AT 60 + / - MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. ENGINE LOST POWER ON ACCELERATION AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. THIS IS STRANGE AS THE GAS WAS NOT "PUNCHED" OR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF NORMAL PASSING ACCELERATION. INITIALLY I THOUGHT I MAY BE OUT OF GAS OR SOMETHING BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. I HAVE NOTED POWER LOSS TWO OTHER TIMES BUT DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL ONCE I BACKED OFF THE GAS. THE ONE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME IS THE ENGINE MADE A VERY ROUGH VIBRATION WHICH CAUSED OTHERS IN THE TRUCK TO ASK IF I WAS HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO SEPARATE OCCURRENCES WHERE THE TRUCK WOULD VIOLENTLY LOSE POWER DURING ACCELERATION DURING RAINSTORMS. THE FIRST TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED BUT WENT AWAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY THE TRACTION CONTROL, SINCE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LOGGED IN THE SYSTEM. THE SECOND TIME WAS APRIL 24TH, 2013, AND THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH AND PASSING TWO 18 WHEELERS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND STUTTER AND HAD NO POWER. I HAD TO SWERVE BETWEEN THE SEMIS AND COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER TO NARROWLY AVOID A POTENTIALLY FATAL CRASH DUE TO THE LOSS IN POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THIS TIME, SO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT THE TURBO INTERCOOLER ISSUES THAT THE ECOBOOSTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE. AFTER CHECKING MY TRUCK OUT, THEY INDICATED THAT MY PROBLEM WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTERRCOOLER CONDENSATION ISSUE, BUT THAT MY TRUCK WAS BUILT WITH THE NEWER UPDATED INTERCOOLER AND THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM THE DISAPPOINTED OWNER OF A NEW TRUCK THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN BECAUSE MY FAMILY MIGHT BE KILLED OR INJURED IN IT. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND ALWAYS SERVICED AT PREMIER FORD IN COLUMBUS, MS. *TR

V6 ECOBOOST MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING IN HEAVY RAIN ON I65 IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. I PULLED INTO THE FAR LEFT LANE TO PASS SLOWER VEHICLES. WHEN I ACCELERATED THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND RAPIDLY LOSE SPEED AND POWER. SEVERAL VEHICLES INCLUDING A SEMI HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON MY RETURN TRIP HOME. WE WERE TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE ROAD IN FOGGY CONDITIONS. WE CAME TO AN AREA WHEN THE ROAD SPLIT SO YOU COULD PASS SLOWER VEHICLES. I, ALONG WITH A CAR FOLLOWING, WENT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE WHICH HAD MOVED TO THE RIGHT. WHEN I WAS ALONGSIDE THE SLOWER VEHICLE MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED. I HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE BRAKING ACTION TO FALL IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE RUNNING OUT OF ROOM. THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME ALSO HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID HITTING ME. AND THE CAR TO MY RIGHT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME. THEY REPLACED THE CAC, INSTALLED A PLASTIC SHIELD, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, AND REPLACED A DEFECTIVE CAT AS WAS THE RECOMMENDED REPAIR ACCORDING TO THE ISSUED TSB. ON APRIL 18TH I WAS TRAVELING ON HWY41 IN THE RAIN.TWICE ON MY TRIP THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE SPEED WHEN PASSING SLOWER VEHICLES. THE APPLIED TSB DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE REQUEST OF FORD CUSTOMER CARE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE. THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED THE SECOND CAT WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT HAS INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME. THEY OFFERED TO SEND ME A BUY BACK OFFER WITHIN TEN DAYS AND AFTER TWENTY DAYS AND SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO BUY BACK MY TRUCK. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL THEY (IF) COME UP WITH A FIX. I AM UNWILLING TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. *TR

I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON I-10 IN FLORIDA FROM AN ENTRANCE RAMP. I WAS GOING 55 MPH WHEN I HAD TO ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. UPON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO BRAKE REALLY HARD AND MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD SO THAT I WOULDN'T COLLIDE WITH TRAFFIC ALREADY MOVING AT 70 MPH IN THE LANE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE.

THE TRUCK SHUDDERED, LOST POWER MOMENTARILY, FLASHED SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES ON THE INFORMATION DISPLAY, AND RESUMED DRIVING BUT NOW THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 60MPH. UPON PULLING OFF THE ROAD INTO A SERVICE AREA, I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. ERRORS WERE CLEARED. RESUMED TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE. WENT ABOUT 2-3 MILES AND IT DID IT AGAIN. LIMPED 30 MILES TO NEXT SERVICE AREA. SHUT IT OFF. RESTARTED. MY AFTERMARKET GAUGE CLUSTER AND CODE READER WAS SHOWING ERRORS P012B, P012D, P0106. DROVE THE REMAINING 200 MILES AT 55MPH.

ACTUALLY IS WAS MUCH WORSE THAN A HESITATION IT SEEMED TO LOSE ALL POWER AND BEGAN TO VIBRATE TERRIBLY (FELT AND SOUNDED LIKE DRIVING ON A CORRUGATED/WASHBOARD ROAD). I HAD A LARGE 18 WHEELER CLOSING IN VERY FAST, I ACTUALLY MOVED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE TO ALLOW HIM TO PASS. VERY SCARY! THE WEATHER WAS RAINY AND HUMID, THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY.

TOOK TO FORD DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND WILL BE EVALUATED AFTER THE HOLIDAY. SEVERAL TIMES IN THE WEEK PRIOR TO INCIDENT I NOTICED SOME SLIGHT "STUTTERING" OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD TO PARK IN DRIVEWAY, ALSO NOTICED FOR THE PAST 1 TO 1.5 MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A 2+ MILE PER GALLON DECREASE IN FUEL MILEAGE RUNNING OVER THE SAME ROUTES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK, WITH SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME. WE CAME TO A PASSING ZONE AND I BEGAN TO PASS THE SEMI TRUCK. I MOVED TO THE ONCOMING LANE AND ACCELERATED, BUT THE TRUCK LOST POWER. I BEGAN SLOWING DOWN IN THE ON COMING LANE, BUT COULDN'T RETURN TO THE RIGHT LANE BECAUSE THE VEHICLES THAT WERE BEHIND ME WERE PASSING ME IN THE RIGHT LANE AND I HAD A VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME THAT WAS FOLLOWED ME TO PASS THE SEMI TRUCK. I LOCKED OUT 5TH AND 6TH GEARS ON THE TRANSMISSION TO GAIN SOME RPM BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY. I MOVED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ON COMING LANE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I SAT ON THE SHOULDER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED UNDER IT FOR FLUIDS. THERE WERE NO FLUIDS UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALL THE GAUGES READ NORMAL. I DID ALL THIS ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ONCOMING LANE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS WAS NOT A GOOD POSITION TO BE IN. I STARTED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT IN GEAR TO SEE IF IT WOULD MOVE, IT DID. I HAD FULL POWER AND GOT BACK INTO TRAFFIC AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. SEVERAL MILES LATER I LOST ENGINE POWER AGAIN, AND AGAIN GOT THE VIOLENT SHUDDER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOING TO SEE THE DEALER TODAY. THIS IS BAD! THE FIRST INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT. MOVING ONTO THAT LEFT SHOULDER PROVED TO BE A GOOD MOVE, BUT I WAS AT PUCKER FACTOR 10 FOR A FEW SECONDS. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 3/16/13 AS A DEMO MODEL WITH 6300 MILES ON IT. MADE A LEFT TURN AND ACCELERATED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON 3/19/13 WHEN THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER RESULTING IN PEOPLE HAVING TO HIT THEIR BRAKES AND HONK AT US TO AVOID HITTING US. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO BOG DOWN AS THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. I LET THE VEHICLE COAST TO ALMOST A STOP BEFORE THE SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY AND COULD DRIVE AS NORMAL. I LOOKED UP SYMPTOMS ON INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME SYMPTOMS WITH THIS NEW ECO-BOOST ENGINE BY FORD IN THEIR TRUCKS. IT SEEMS THAT THE INTERCOOLER CAN COLLECT CONDENSATION IN HUMID OR RAINY ENVIRONMENTS AND HAVE THAT WATER FORCED TO THE ENGINE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED HARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER. FORD HAS APPARENTLY IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUED A TBS SERVICE BULLETIN INSTRUCTING THE CHARGED AIR COOLER BE REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED ONE FOR MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 F-150'S WITH THE 3.5L V6 ECO-BOOST ENGINE IF A CUSTOMER COMPLAINS OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS SOLUTION HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS ONE COULD LOSE POWER AS MANY HAVE REPORTED, TOWING HEAVY LOADS, ON THE HIGHWAY PASSING AND OTHER SITUATIONS THAT A LOSS OF POWER COULD LEAD TO A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE "NEWLY DESIGNED" CHARGED AIR COOLER HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR MONTHS AND PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD TO "DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES CAREFULLY" IF THEIR DEALER DOESN'T PROVIDE A RENTAL OR VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE AWAITING REPAIR. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 3/21/13 AND HAS BEEN SITTING THEIR AWAITING THE PART AS I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

UPON REENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED, TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT RESPOND TO INPUTS FROM THE THROTTLE. I WAS ABLE TO SPEED UP TO ABOUT 45MPH BEFORE THE ENGINE PROBLEM DEVELOPED. LUCKILY I HAD A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON AS I HAD ENTERED THE INTERSTATE AHEAD OF A TRACTOR-TRAILER COMBO WHO WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND APPROACHING MY REAR BUMPER VERY QUICKLY. AFTER THE ENGINE BEGAN MISFIRING AT ABOUT 45 MPH, I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BEGAN FLASHING UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, THEN REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED 5 TIMES ON THE SHOULDER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY NEW F-150 IN AUGUST 2012 AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A "HESITATION" WHEN STARTING OUT IN DRIVE, UNTIL THE ENGINE SHIFTED TO SECOND GEAR AND A "MISS" IN THE ENGINE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CALLED THE DEALER, TOLD THEM MY TRUCK HAS SAFETY DEFECT AND TOOK THE TRUCK BACK FOR AN EVALUATION AND OIL CHANGE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY FOUND NO DEFECTS ON THE COMPUTER CODES AND NO BULLETINS FROM FORD BUT "WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE COMPUTER SHOWS SOMETHING WRONG. I CALLED FORD "CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS CENTER" IN MICHIGAN AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND EVALUATION. I DID THIS AND THE NEW DEALER GAVE ME THE SAME STORY AS THE FIRST DEALER. I CALLED THE "CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER" AGAIN AND ADVISED THEM THAT WHAT THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK, IF I HAD KNOWN OR BEEN TOLD THAT THIS "DEFECT IS COMMON" WITH THIS TRUCK. THE "CRC" TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE THE REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER CALL ME, WHICH SHE DID A FEW DAYS LATER AND TOLD ME THAT "THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE HAVING WITH YOUR TRUCK ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE TRUCKS AND NO OTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. I TOLD THE REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER THAT HER AND FORDS' RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IF THERE IS NO FIX, I WANT THE VEHICLE REPURCHASED OR REPLACED.

2012 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE GEAR MOVED FROM PARK TO REVERSE TWICE, SINCE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2012. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT CAUSED APPROXIMATELY $5800 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, PLUS DAMAGE TO LANDSCAPING PROPERTY OF A BUSINESS. THE CONSUMER STATED HE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND LEFT IT RUNNING. WHEN HE WENT AROUND THE TRUCK, HE SAW THE TRUCK STARTING TO MOVE IN REVERSE. HE RAN AROUND TO THE TRUCK, OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND TRIED TO CLIMB INTO THE TRUCK, TO STOP IT, BUT WAS KNOCKED DOWN TO HIS KNEES AND CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE DOOR JAMB ON THE TRUCK. HE WAS DRAGGED TO HIS KNEES FOR SEVERAL FEET, BEFORE HE DECIDED TO LET GO DOWN AND ROLLED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET BEFORE RUNNING UP OVER A CURB AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT OVER TWO TREES, SOME SMALL BUSHES AND DESTROYING 30 ' OF VINYL FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A REST. ON OCTOBER 1, 2012, THE CONSUMER BACKED THE TRUCK INTO HIS DRIVEWAY, PLACED IT IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND LEFT IT RUNNING WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN, WHEN SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVE BACKWARDS. HE TRIED TO GET IN THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT, BUT WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED BACK FOR ABOUT 25 FEET HITTING A LANDSCAPING BOULDER BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE. *JB

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM 40 MPH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WITH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND WOULD ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH WHILE TRYING TO MERGE WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING 65 MPH. CONTINUED WITH A VERY SLOW ACCELERATION WHICH TOOK ABOUT A MILE TO REACH 60 MPH. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO PERFORM NORMALLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE FORD SHOP THREE TIMES FOR A CLICKING OR POPPING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT SINCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 6,000 MILES OR 4 MONTHS OLD. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED NUMEROUS REPAIR ATTEMPTS (3 EA.)TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT MANY DAYS AT THE SHOP WHILE THE MECHANIC TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FORD ENGINEERS OR SO I HAVE BEEN TOLD WHERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY THE SSM# 22384 TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE SSM# ON FRIDAY THE 14TH OF DEC AND AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK I NOTICED THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THE CLICKING NOISE AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT CHANGE TO OR AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY WOULD KEEP ME NOTIFIED ON ANY OTHER FIXES AS THEY COME AVAILABLE THROUGH FORD.AFTER ALMOST 200 MILES AFTER THE ATTEMPTED REPAIR I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FELT THE TRUCK SHAKE THEN HEARD A LARGE POW THEN BANG, I QUICKLY LOOKED OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW SMOKE AND SPARKS. I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER AND GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE I NOTICED THE DRIVESHAFT ON THE GROUND THE ONLY THING ATTACHED WAS THE FRONT OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. THE PINION BEARING FLANGE (REAR) WAS ATTACHED TO THE DRIVESHAFT AND THE PINION SHAFT WAS SHEARED OFF THE REAREND. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS INJURY TO ME OR OTHERS IF I WAS IN A DIFFERENT SCENARIO AND NOT SO LUCKY TO NOT BE CARRY MY CHILDREN AND TOWING MY BOAT. THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH TO ENSURE OTHERS DON'T HAVE MY INCIDENT THAT COULD CREATE A ACCIDENT. I HAVE THE SERVICE RECORD COPIES AND MY TRUCK IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING ON PARTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ENTERING THE FREEWAY DOING 55 I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE PAST A SLOWER MOVING CAR AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER. HAD I BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION AS I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 30 MPH ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE I COULD SLOWLY ACCELERATE BACK UP TO SPEED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OCTOBER ESPECIALLY AFTER RAIN OR EVEN IN THE MORNINGS WHEN IT HAS BEEN A HEAVY FROST OVERNIGHT. ALSO MY M.P.G IS DOWN TO 11 TO 13 M.P.G THIS IS HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY THIS DAY AND AGE IN VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY STATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF A PROBLEM. I HAD TO SHOW THEM MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM THIS WEBSITE AND OFF THE FORD 150 FORUM. IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS AND THE PART STILL IS NOT IN FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

TRAVELED FROM BENTON, LA TO LITTLE ROCK AR. WAS DRIVING DOWN TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH IN THE RAIN. HAD TO COME TO STOP AS A VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT. UPON ACCELERATING VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND REMOVED KEY. RESTARTED ENGINE. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY RUN APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. DROVE TO NEXT TOWN ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY. STOPPED AT GAS STATION FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR. SINCE IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING WE HAD TO CONTINUE TRAVELING. TRUCK THEN WOULD RUN ABOUT 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, BUT ANY ACCELERATION WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO HESITATE, SHAKE, AND LOOSE POWER. ONLY EXTREMELY EASY ACCELERATION WOULD WORK. NO DOWN SHIFTING POSSIBLE. TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED AT CHENAL FORD IN LITTLE ROCK AR. FOUND TO HAVE WATER IN THE ENGINE FROM ENTERING THE TURBO CHARGER AIR INTAKE. WATER APPARENTLY ACCUMULATES IN THE TURBO CHARGER IN THE RAIN. IF HARD ACCELERATION OCCURS DURING THE RAIN, WATER IS PULLED TO THE ENGINE DAMAGING THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AS THE HAVE SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALER IN LOUISIANA HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED A CORRECTION FROM FORD. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE TURBO INTAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDESIGNED FOR THE 2013 MODEL YEAR. FORD AT THIS TIME IS NOT OFFERING TO REPLACE THE AIR INTAKE. AS SUCH, I THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE IN THE RAIN. A CAR SHOULD NOT STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC PULLING A TRAILER I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE TRUCK WILL DROP INTO 3RD GEAR AND WILL NOT EXCEED 4000 RPM. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 OR 4 TIMES. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WITHOUT A TRAILER. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF TO GET IT TO GO. SOMETIMES I CAN JUST COME OFF THE PEDAL AND PRESS IT AGAIN TO CORRECT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES AND REPLACED THE CONVERTERS TWICE. I HAVE ASKED FORD TO BUY BACK THE TRUCK BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED YET. THE TRUCK IS GOING BACK INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW AND I AM CONSIDERING UTILIZING THE LEMON LAW. *TR

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON THE NET. IT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A "TRANSMISSION BUMP". THE PROBLEM IS, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS & CAUSES A BUMP, OR A PUSH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, I THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME! IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHILE YOU'RE AT A DEAD STOP. THE TRUCK ACTUALLY LURCHES FORWARD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THE 6 SPD. TRANSMISSION IN MY FORD. NO TSB HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FROM FORD TO FIX THIS!!! *TR

2012 F150 ECOBOOST. WAS CRUISING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 CLOSING IN ON A SLOWER MOVING BUS. PULLED OUT TO PASS AND GAVE IT MORE THROTTLE THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AND PULL BACK BEHIND THE BUS TO AVOID A COLLISION. AFTER RECOVERING THE MOTOR SEEMED TO RECOVER AND ALLOWED FOR ACCELERATION AGAIN. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US. NEITHER TIME DID THE COMPUTER REGISTER A FAULT CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT FOR THE ISSUE, FORD SERVICE COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS NO CODE WAS FOUND AND UNABLE TO RECREATE IN TEST DRIVE. AT THAT TIME TSB 12-6-4 WAS OUT PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE. AFTER THE SECOND TIME,AGAIN THERE WAS NO CODE OR RECREATION BUT A NEW TSB 12-10-19 SUPERSEDED THE PREVIOUS TSB AND ALLOWED FOR REPAIRS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT ALL 2011-2012 F150 ECOBOOST MOTORS AND SOME EARLY 2013 MODELS. THE CHARGE AIR COOLER AS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED IS CREATING CONDENSATION THAT CAUSES THESE POWER LOSS EVENTS. THE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN TSB 12-10-19, IF SUCCESSFUL, SHOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL F150 ECOBOOST VEHICLES BUILT WITH THE OLDER INTERCOOLER DESIGN. *TR

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW APRIL 2012. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I TRIED TO ACCELERATE PAST A SLOWER VEHICLE. THE TRUCK WOULD HARDLY RUN, LOST POWER AND SPEED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINE. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT DO MY "HOMEWORK" ON THIS ENGINE PACKAGE. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. FORD MOTOR CO. KNOWS AND ADMITS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH CONDENSATION BUILD UP IN THE INTAKE TRACT OF THIS ENGINE. IT HAS BEEN APROBLEM FROM INTRODUCTION. THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A "FIX" FOR THIS DEFECT. SO FAR THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS WORKED. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. IF IT IS RAINING WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL HARDLY RUN. IT IS UNSAFE TO OWN OR OPERATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 FORD F150 4X4 WITH THE ECOBOOST MOTOR TO WORK ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING ISSUE: AFTER CRUISING FOR ABOUT 20 MILES AT 65MPG I ATTEMPTED A PASS OF SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 80MPH DURING THE PASS THEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND CREATED AN ENGINE BREAKING SITUATION. THE TRUCKS' SPEED DROPPED RAPIDLY FROM 80 TO 60MPH AND I HAD TO ABRUPTLY MOVE INTO THE SLOW LANE CUTTING OFF OTHER CARS TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED. AS SOON AS THE POWER/SPEED LOSS OCCURRED THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO UNTIL I EVENTUALLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 50MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS 5000 MILES PRESENTLY AND HAS BEEN BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES, A CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT, TO ADD AN AIR DEFLECTOR AND IT CONTINUES TO THROW CODES AND TURN ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I GOT IT BACK YESTERDAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN ON MY DRIVE HOME. ALSO MILEAGE SEEMS TO BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I TRY TO AVOID PASSING SITUATIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN FEAR THE VEHICLE WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRUCK BOGGED. RPM OF ENGINE INCREASE TRUCK DID NOT. LET OFF GAS AND DEPRESSED TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON INTERSTATE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT TRUCK OFF TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MORE DETAILS EACH TIME. FORD HAS LOOKED AT TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES. LATEST WORD IS THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, STARTED A TSB HOWEVER THERE ISN'T A FIX AVAILABLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN CHANGING LANES OR MERGING FROM RAMP. THERE IS NOT ANY WARNING AND SCARES THE DEVIL OUT OF THE DRIVER. *TR
