I was driving about 55 mph when suddenly my 2013 truck down shifted to either first or third gear and I barely was able to control it to get off the road. The truck just bowed up and the vehicle behind me almost hit me. The speedometer stopped working and a wrench icon appeared. I tried to take off and the truck was stuck in third gear. Ford dealership said they would fix it if it was the OSS sensor. I paid to have it towed and they charged me over 2,000. There was a safety recall 24S37 on the 2014 with the 6R80 transmission the same kind my truck has. My 2013 did exactly the same thing as the 2014 and I believe it should have a safety recall. There was a extended warranty or something either 10 years or 150,000. My truck has 130,000. I talked to Ford customer satisfaction but they have done nothing. I told them I was going to report it.

Four times in the previous two weeks, while driving between 20 and 50MPH, the transmission has downshifted from 6th to 1st gear, locking the rear tires. Speedometer reads zero, airbag warning light illuminates, and odometer/MPG shows dashes instead of numbers. Ignition must be turned off and on to recover. Trusted private mechanic performed diagnostic: removed transmission pan, changed filter, checked electrical, and replaced fluid. Cost: $700. The issue was not resolved. Internet search suggests a known "lead frame" issue and recall. Valencia AutoNation Ford suggests having their technicians diagnose at a cost of approximately $350. I was quoted roughly $5500 to rebuild/replace the transmission. I reported this issue to Ford Corporate "Customer Satisfaction" (Case CXH-06529440-C7D1J5), but was offered no assistance. This complaint appears over 200(!) times in the NHTSA database just for 2013 Ford F-150 trucks. My family cannot drive this dangerous vehicle, and I cannot sell it in this condition.

Safety Recall 19S07 - (19S19) Ford Motor covered 19S07 but not 19S19. Software update does NOT prevent downshifting into 1st on Highway. The issue is that 19S19 is truly the root cause of issue, and software was a low cost ineffective countermeasure to safety issue. Covered certain 2011–2013 Ford F-150s with 6R80 transmissions for sudden transmission downshift due to output shaft speed (OSS) sensor faults. Included PCM programming and diagnostic checks. NHTSA This vehicle still exhibits down shifting at high speed (very scary), speed sensor malfunction, air bag disengagement while occurring. After software update transmission shifts produce poor gas mileage which violates EPA emissions regulations of mpg of vehicle when purchased.

While taking my daughter to a friend's birthday party, we were traveling at a speed of ~50 miles per hour when the transmission downshifted from 5th or 6th gear directly to first gear for no reason. The back tires locked up when the RPMs drastically increased, and the truck went into a skid. I believe my limited experience working on cars gave me the instinct to throw the shifter into neutral while applying the brakes. I was able to gain control of the vehicle prior to it fully going off into the ditch. After researching the issue, it became apparent this was a common problem with the 6R80 transmission that Ford knows about. I read numerous stories of the safety issues owners have had with this 6R80 transmission in the 12th gen F150. I brought the truck to my dealer, and they confirmed it was from the "LEAD frame" that Ford provided an extended warranty on. I was told the warranty didn't cover my vehicle (10 year/150K mile). This vehicle was purchased from the Ford dealership new in 2013 and has been in the family ever since. It currently only has 65K miles on it and has never had any work done to the transmission expect for a program flash at 26K miles in an attempt to prevent this exact issue. Outside of being disappointed that Ford was not willing to help with the expensive repair, my mind went to the safety aspect of what's going on. I believe Ford made the decision to not classify this as a safety recall to prevent paying for the replacement of the plastic LEAD Frame on all 6R80 transmissions. While I understand this is costly to an auto manufacturer, I can't help but think of what the result of this safety issue would have been if my wife or an unexperienced driver was under control of this vehicle that day. I reached out to the Ford Customer Service rep and explained my safety concerns. I was told she would file it under safety and that I may or may not get a call. This confirms their lack of concern; hence I'm reaching out to the NHTSA.

Driving 70 mph on highway. Transmission suddenly downshifted from 6th to 5th. Cruise control turned off. Speedometer went to 0 mph. Airbag warning light came on. Wrench indicator flashed. From this point on, transmission would only use gears 3,4,5. Speedometer continued to read 0. Cruise control remained inoperative and Airbag warning light remained on. Wrench indicator turned off after a few minutes. Was able to limp home, but truck had difficulty pulling out from stoplights and stop signs due to not being able to shift below 3rd gear. After shutting off ignition and restarting. Operation returned to normal.

.Driving on the interstate cruise control set on 75 all of a sudden, lose power speedometer to 0. Transmission, jerks have to pull over. Get home check the code. Said it was the transmission lead frame, oss sensor. Im lucky I didn't wreck. It's a safety concern, should be a recall.

Took vehicle to dealership to have recall 19V075 completed. Dealership informed me that Ford motor company will only replace the Multi- Frame part in the transmission that contains the OSS sensor if the vehicle is not older than 10yrs and 150,000 miles. The service advisor at the dealership informed me that if they perform the PCM program update without the mechanical repair being done the intermittent downshift problem would get worse. The truck has downshifted while going down the highway at approximately 60mph and the abrupt downshift nearly caused me to loose control of the vehicle.

Driving down the road in 5 th gear and truck by its self shifted into 2 end gear it has done this 6 times now it is very unsafe to drive but it's my only vehicle I think it's the front lead frame assembly in the transmission this will b the 3 erd time to replace this part

I was sold a 2013 Ford F150 XLT with a serious documented safety issue. The issue is a Transmission Molded Lead Frame failure. This specific component defect is classified as a known, safety-critical issue by Ford (Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01). The car dealership that sold me this vehicle is Township Auto Line 442 Delsea Drive Sewell, NJ 08080. I was able to get the truck repaired, however the business that sold me the Truck is unwilling to reimburse me for the repairs for the safety-critical Molded Lead Frame repair. This is a matter of selling a vehicle with a known, active safety hazard. I can provide the Ford repair invoice upon request to verify the diagnosis and repair cost.

at speeds around 50-65 mph my truck dropped down to first gear, this shook me and my passenger as you can imagine. It was a none safety recall in 2019 that I have missed as this was around the time I bought this truck. I paid for the repair myself not knowing Campaign 19N01

Transmission shifted into 1st gear while doing 65 mph on the freeway. The rear tires locked up as a result and the truck spun out in front of on coming traffic putting myself and my 6 month old nephew in a life threatening situation. This is not okay. I was told the most recent recall done on this vehicle was done to not allow this to happen. This issue has been an on going problem with these trucks and Ford has still yet to rectify the problem. This can cause serious bodily harm to myself and others around these vehicles. I feel Ford needs to do something about this issue.

Vehicle component that appears to be failing is the transmission, car can run and be diagnosed and inspected. It can put me or people around me at risk, vehicle was running fine and then it downshifted to 1st gear making the rear wheels brake at a high speed, after that truck won’t go up from first gear. Before going into a dealer and having this checked I made a research about this similiar problem on similar make and model of my truck, and it seems there has been a recall regarding the lead frame on the transmission of this Ford F150 models. I did get a check engine light.

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his father-in-law was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unintendedly downshifted from 6th to 1st gear. The father-in-law pulled over to the side of the road, turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle returned to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, after the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle shifted into first gear. The vehicle then went into LIMP Mode. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

This is related to an OEM Metal failure at the aluminum connection points. My 2013 Ford F-150s, experienced leakage of the high-pressure transmission cooler line. The leakage was due to corrosion and metal fatigue. If it had failed it would have resulted in a rapid fluid loss, transmission overheating, and a complete failure. The failure was related to corrosion & metal Fatigue. The aluminum quick connect portion of the OEM lines on the driver's side began leaking due to corrosion, and vibrations. There have been numerous reports of a broken line causing a rapid and complete loss of transmission fluid. Without sufficient fluid, the transmission failed leading to trucks stopping in heavy traffic. Due to reports of these catastrophic failures, I checked my lines and noted leaks. I proactively had the local Ford dealer perform the repairs. I have the parts in my possession.

I have had several incidences of the transmission suddenly downshifting with corresponding loss of some gauges. This is similar to the 2019 recall NHTSA No.19V-075. I had that service done in July 2019 before any symptom surfaced. Now, in 2025 the problem has started again. I'm not sure what the previous service included (i.e. partes replaced) The original recall indicated the transmission molded leadframe however I have no documentation that it was replaced. It appears that only a reprogramming was accomplished.

Random hard shifting and acceleration issue started after I had the vehicle put in service for recall, never had any issue like it before the recall was completed. My computer shows a P0720 and P0721 error. This makes me feel unsafe to drive the vehicle because of the random acceleration and shifting that occurs without any input from me as the driver. Crown motors of Redding Ca advising that the issue is not recall related and refuses to look at vehicle without doing a 300 dollar diagnostic, I’ve asked them several times if they will look at it for just the recall to make sure they have refused and have said things like “drive it for a 100 miles that should correct it”.

On 8/2/25, driving home after dinner with the family my 2013 F150 did hard downshift and the service light came on so went to an auto store for the code. It was the code 19SO7 which turned out to be a software OSS update that was under a recall. Took truck to Ford to do recall and they stated that they did a software update. After picking up the truck we are still having the same hard downshift but now it flashes my airbag light and I loose dash information. Truck was taken back in and Ford says it’s another code with no check engine light but stating that it’s the lead frame issue which was a part of a recall associated the hard downshift safety issue. Dealership reached out to Ford Customer Satisfaction Program because there was a campaign (19N01) that’s still up on their site that would take care of the faulty lead frame associated with the recall. However, Ford denied assisting this safety hazard due to the time they had in the campaign which was 10 years/150,000 miles. The truck is under 95,000 miles. The truck cannot be safely driven, the original problem I took the truck in for, which was a safety recall, is not resolved and worse than when I took it in.

Transmission down shifting and sticking in gear intermittently. Google search shows this: Ford has issued recalls and extended warranty programs for a molded lead frame issue in its automatic transmissions, particularly the 6R80 in F-150s from 2011-2013 and a 2014-only recall (24S37), where a faulty output speed sensor could cause an unintended downshift to first gear. This downshift can lead to the loss of vehicle control and an increased crash risk, although Ford also had a separate recall in 2016 for 2011-2013 F-150s with six-speed transmissions that could suddenly downshift. I called Ford service and was told the program expired and nothing could be done at this time.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the odometer failed to function as intended. The speedometer went from 40 to zero and failed to provide the correct speed. In addition, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The “WRENCH” warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle, and pulled the key out of the ignition, opened and closed the door, and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was reset. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the output speed sensor circuit had no signal and the PCM and valve body lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied assistance in covering the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 101,500.

I was driving on the highway at 55 mph and my truck downshifted to fist gear and the speedometer went to zero with the wrench light coming on. The system that malfunctioned was the molded lead frame for the transmission that was a customer satisfaction program with Ford that I was not notified about. My safety was at risk because I was traveling at a high rate of speed before my truck downshifted into first gear. My problem has been confirmed by my local ford dealer and repaired at my own cost. The vehicle has been inspected by my local Ford dealer. No other symptoms prior to the failure.

My truck speedometer stopped working while driving 65mph. At the same time, shifting became erratic and unpredictable, causing a very unsafe condition almost causing my truck to lose control. The Check Engine light immediately came on. After diagnostics, the engine code was "P0720 Permanent, Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit." This is a known problem with Ford and Ford recall # 19N01, "Transmission molded leadframe extended coverage." When taken to the dealership, they admitted this was the exact problem that needed to be fixed, but the Recall expired in 2023 so it would now cost me over $1800 to fix the leadframe. I am reporting this because these exact issues are happening to a lot of people even after the Recall has expired. This is a defective part that should be covered by Ford. This recall should be extended. I never got any notices or letters from Ford regarding this problem, probably because I am not the original owner of the truck. I have not uploaded an invoice because the repair has not been completed yet, but I am happy to do this at a later time once the repair is completed.

Vechicle shuts off during high speeds causing driver to loose control and driver and passengers to be tossed around even while constrained with seat belts

You will be driving down the road and it would downshift gears you guys have a recall on this already but my truck doesn't qualify for it apparently the downshifting is periodically it's not consistent

At about [XXX] [XXX], Tuesday, I was N/B on [XXX] , my speed was approximately 60 mph. All of a sudden, my brakes locked up as if I slammed on by brakes. Although a safe distance behind my, vehicles behind me had to swerve out of my way due to the sudden breaking. After pulling over, I checked the undercarriage, thinking I might have hit something, but everything was clear. Not knowing what had just happened I got back onto the highway and when I reached a speed of approximately 65 mph it did it again causing my truck to swerve into the oncoming lane of traffic. I still didn't know what was going on because there were no physical signs indicating such and no warning lights illuminated. After pulling over once again I called a transmission shop and explained what had just happed and asked if they could look at my truck to see what was going on. They told me it would be about three months before they can get me in, but said they know what exactly had happened. When I asked them to please tell me what had occurred, they told me the transmission suddenly went from 5th gear down to 1st gear due to a "Transmission Molded Lead Frame issue" I had no idea what he was talking about, and he said the fix is a simple one that involved a computer software update. Well, I learned that in 2019 there was a "Customer Satisfaction program" for this issue but the problem is I knew nothing about it and when I purchased the vehicle in 2022, I wasn't told about this. Now, the Ford dealership I took the truck to said the "Customer Satisfaction program" that was issued had expired and I would have to pay for the repair. I'm confused because when I first started researching this issue the Carfax at the time I purchased the vehicle was a "Customer Satisfaction program", and after talking to the Hanford Auto Sales, in California, I purchased the vehicle they said they didn't do anything because it was just a "Customer Satisfaction program".

While driving my vehicle speedometer goes to zero which no recognition of speed. If brought to a stop I can’t get out of first gear. Ford issued a “Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01” related to the 6R80 transmissions, Sudden Transmission Downshift. This “Customer Satisfaction” should have been a non expiring recall. The check engine sometimes flicks on but does not stay on or show a code. Issue is intermittent and lasts 10-15 min until vehicle recognizes it’s not incapable of shifting. Given this severely limiting malfunction I highly recommend the recall be extended indefinitely to make sure these vehicles are fixed properly.

The truck drops from sixth gear to fourth gear randomly while at high speeds. I took it in and they told me it was not covered by the recall that was done a couple years ago for this very same reason. I took it into five star Ford in Plano Texas. They told me that recall expired. I took it in then and they supposed changed out faulty parts.

Ford dealership Jack Kissee in Claremore, OK is telling me my truck is 6k miles out of warranty for Recall 19N01. I have owned my 2013 F150 for less than 2 years with no knowledge of any previous recalls or repairs needed by Ford. This has not been an ongoing issue and has only happened within the last 1,000 miles I have put on my truck. Wrench light and icon pop up on the dash and puts the truck into limp mode until I can get pulled over and get the truck shut off. Safety risk to everyone on the rode. Please let me know if there is a way this Recall 19N01 can be covered. Thank you.

While driving at highway speeds, about 55mph, transmission just jerked. Happened multiple times until I could get it in to be serviced. Service light comes on, speedometer goes to zero, safety lights come on and its not able to downshift. I fear this could be a very dangerous especially at this speeds.. After stopping and turning of the road it still would not reset. It would not reset until I parked the vehicle and shutdown then restarted. Picture attached shows the dash..... while going 55 speedometer went to zero. Was in 5 gear and would not change, mileage went to "--------" Engine light and Airbag lights come on...... NHTSA site shows no recalls but Ford does show their own recall. Ford will not cover this repair because they said they notified of a recall but nothing was ever sent to me or told to me in any previous trips to dealership. This is a known safety risk and Ford should still be pushing to get these parts replaced. Fords Campaign after to search online. 19N01 Description Transmission molded leadframe

I am the current owner of a 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which I purchased in 4-2019. In 2025, the truck began to experience sudden, harsh downshifting while driving, sometimes dropping from 6th gear to 1st without warning. This created a major safety hazard, especially at higher speeds. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg, West Virginia. They identified the issue as related to the transmission's OSS sensor and PCM programming—consistent with Ford’s CSP 19N01 and TSB 16-0008. The repair was completed at my expense because I was never notified of the CSP, even though I was the legal owner at the time.Before the failure, I experienced intermittent rough shifting and hesitation, but during the major incident, a “Wrench” light appeared on the dashboard, and I suddenly lost power while driving. This happened without warning and created a serious safety risk. That’s what prompted me to take the vehicle in for service, where the issue was linked to the transmission and matched symptoms covered under Ford CSP 19N01.The issue was confirmed by Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg, West Virginia, where all my mechanical work has been performed since I purchased the vehicle from them in 2019. I would like a refund as this is related to a dangerous recall.

I was pulling an empty car trailer in Tow mode when my truck downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear causing my trailer to fishtail and almost rear ended from a tractor trailer. Then continuing it shifted rear hard to the next gear. Since this first occurrence, it has happened multiple times, which is a major safety issue. I have to pull over immediately, turn off truck, and turn back on to reset the transmission. Until I figured that out, the issue was even more hazardous almost causing accidents for my family, including my grandchildren. Since then, they cannot ride with me. I found out that this is a known issue and covered to 150k miles for Molded Transmission Leadframe Extended Coverage. My issue is that I bought this truck at a Ford dealership in 2018 with 110k miles and have been in the dealership before and was never told about this safety issue and extended coverage. If it’s a known safety issue, why is it not covered beyond 150k miles or 10 years??????? I’m currently in the dealership waiting for an $180 diagnosis which I don’t feel that I should not have to pay. I’m fairly certain, they will charge MUCH more for their recommended fix, which should have all been covered by Ford for this known safety issue. Thanks for your help.

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION STAYS IN FIRST GEAR TRANSMISSION BANGS WRENCH APPEARS ON DASH ALL CONTROL IS LOST

April 2025, my 2013 F150 downshifting to first gear driving about 45 mph almost causing me a serious accident. I contacted my local Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg West Virginia after pulling the code from my Hum to see what it was and was informed that there was a consumer appreciation survey that was mailed out between May 9th and May 15th 2019 that letter went to the previous owner of this VIN number and not addressed to me therefore Greenbrier Ford said that the time had passed and I had to pay $1,300.30 out of my pocket for a safety recall. After picking up the vehicle I was going through my paperwork because Greenbrier Ford has done all mechanical work on my vehicle since I purchased it in April of 2019 in July of 2019 they updated the original downshifting to first gear did not inform me nor did they inform me when I went in in May of 2025 and they updated the recall that had expired in October of 2023 regarding the letter that did not come to me as the owner but to the previous owner. I feel as though Ford should have covered this and I am actively working to get a refund on that money as I see there is a new recall out on this downshifting to first gear I would like to know how I could go about submitting for a refund.

driving at speeds of around 55mph it downshifted into 1st gear this happen at least 3 times. luckily no one was close behind when it happened .

The incident happens while driving home from work. I was on the highway going around 60mph. The vehicle then shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear. My rear tires locked up and the vehicle started to fish tail as it was screeching to a halt. I was able to shift to neutral, maintain control and pull over to the side of the highway. I believe the transmission is the component that malfunctioned. My saftey and the saftey of others was put at risk by the vehicle locking the tires up at highway speeds. I believe if the circumstances had been different, this malfunction could have cause serious injury or death to myself as well as other vehicles around me. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent inspector. the vehicle or component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance representatives. Prior warnings or messages are unknown. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle when the incident happened.

F150 downshifted into first gear while driving down the highway at full speed. Speedometer stopped registering. Sudden and abrupt deceleration. Engine warning light on. Took the truck to the local Ford dealer, Malloy Ford Charlottesville, VA and Service department said the molded leadframe needed to be replaced per Customer Satifaction Program (CSP) 19N01, but Ford would not cover the cost. I believe that Ford needs to cover the cost. I never received a letter notification from Ford and had it in service at the same dealer in August 2022 and they did not notify me of the outstanding CSP and need to service per 19N01.

I never got a notification regarding the recall for the transmission lead frame code. I just recently started having issues with this problem, where my truck will downshift to 1st gear while driving at highway speeds. This nearly threw me and my two young daughters off the road. I took it to the dealership, and they told me that they are unable to help me due to the 10-year mark being passed, even though my truck has less than 103,000 miles. So now I am out of a vehicle, and Ford is not willing to help.

My 2013 has the same transmission problem of an unexpected downshift to 1st gear while driving at highway speeds as the newer model year F150’s. I would like to see all F150’s with that model transmission (6R80) included into the recall. I believe this would include 2011 through 2018 model years.

I keep seeing about the f-150/s being recalled for the rear view cameras not working but mine works and doesn’t works sometimes but keep being told that there is no recall but if you google any of the problems i have it is a reoccurring problem in other 2013 f-150s. Also problems with rear sliding heated back window the driverside shatters. The molded frame transmission needed repaired or replaced. Ecoboost leaking antifreeze behind passenger side front tire. The timing and phasers needing replaced. All are known common problems but ive been told are not recallable problems.

Despite having my powertrain control module "reprogrammed" in 2020 at a Ford dealership located in Bozeman, Montana, pursuant to the recall issued by Ford associated with sudden gear downshift in F150s (2011-2013), my vehicle is now (May 2025) exhibiting the symptoms associated with the failure of the output speed sensor and molded leadframe, related to this same recall. I have been driving at highway speeds in surrounding traffic when my instrument cluster will suddenly show a wrench and my speedometer drops to zero, so I no longer know how fast I am going (four to five occasions over the last week). I am experiencing erratic and hard automatic shifting at all speeds (could create whiplash injury), and on one occasion my vehicle shifted suddenly from 5th gear down into 1st gear while I was driving close to 50 mph, locking the back tires and potentially causing engine damage. Obviously this could cause me to lose control of my vehicle and crash as the sudden downshift is abrupt and locked the rear wheels. Ford issued a "customer satisfaction program" extended warranty related to failure of this molded leadframe. That warranty would cover repairs within 10 years of service or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. My truck is relatively low mileage (under 87,000 miles) for a 12 year old vehicle and based on what I have heard from both the Ford dealership in town and from my other mechanic shop, this is an issue they are seeing commonly. In my opinion, this extended coverage program is woefully inadequate. My vehicle poses a risk to me and my passengers' safety and to surrounding drivers and I should not be liable for the cost of these repairs because there is clearly a known and acknowledged problem. Ford has extended recalls to certain other years and models with the same issue, now having their repairs to make their vehicles safe covered while I am expected to pay out of pocket for Ford's bad and unsafe design.

The faulty output shaft speed sensor (OSS) causes a signal loss between the sensor and the powertrain control module (PCM), leading to a sudden downshift into first gear, regardless of the vehicle's speed. This sudden downshift can cause the rear tires to slide, potentially leading to a loss of control and an increased risk of a crasH. There is already a recall for the 2014 Models and my 2013 is having the exact same issue. This has been an ongoing problem since I bought the truck in December 2024

2013 F-150 subject to Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01, Transmission Molded Leadframe Extended Coverage. Speedometer went to zero, airbag light illuminated, truck downshifted on its own with a sudden lunging feeling, as if I got rear ended. Wrench icon illuminated. Truck would not shift properly. Mileage indication went blank. I was doing 55 mph on the highway with other vehicles around me. Caused me to have to make an abrupt stop and almost caused an accident. Definitely put my safety and others at risk. Problem happened 3 times during my 1 trip. Was able to correct by turning vehicle off then back on. Can be reproduced easily. Not confirmed by dealer or maintenance tech, or inspected by anyone because I am afraid to drive it. There were no warning signs or symptoms before problem occured.

Safety issue. Engine code P0720 which means the output speed sensor sends erratic signals to the power train module or PCM. There is a recall on this truck for this exact thing. What happens is the gears in the transmission don’t shift smoothly and what happened to me was I was driving 70mph all of sudden the truck made a loud bang and I was in 6th gear and the truck went from being in 6th gear just dropped into 1st gear and at 70mph it’s pretty frightening. The brakes locked up and i managed to stay calm and regain control of the vehicle and pull over. Immediately I seen a big yellow wrench on the dashboard along with the check engine light so I turned it off and restarted it thinking maybe the computer will reset. The truck is literally stuck in like 3rd or 4th gear because I can’t go past 40 mph. I was only 5 mins away from home as soon as I got home I use my code machine and the engine code I received was P0720. I contacted my Larsen Ford in Lakewood NJ they informed me about the recall but told me that they’re not paying for any repairs because it’s past 10 years. It ended in January of 2024. I didn’t buy the truck until July 2024 I had no idea about any recalls. I’m not the original owner. I just assumed since it’s a safety issue that the manufacturer must be responsible for all repairs regardless of how long it’s been. I bought the truck with only 38,000 miles on it presently it has 40,000 miles on it now but I don’t think it’s fair that I have to pay for everything to be fixed myself.

Hello, I am writing a request to supplement 19N01 on Ford models as I had a near accident that almost happened. First, as I was driving, my mileage odometer was glitching showing dashes "------", also notice that my check engine light came on and as a result the airbag off warning was showing as well. As a result of all this, seems that the vehicle malfunction as my vehicle was in "limp mode" while all of this was happening and when pressing the gas no acceleration was happening (mind you that was all happening in heavy traffic). After moving steadily and avoiding heavy traffic, I parked my vehicle to the side and turn it on and off. This seems to restart the system however my check engine was still on. After further research on this issue, I see that this is a known issue that happens with the model of my vehicle. After calling the dealership with my issue, they state it is a customer program rather than a recall. I beg NHTSA to please supplement this known issue and instead of 10 years, please use the 150K mileage. I cannot be driving with this unsafe issue as it was a scary issue that happen during traffic.

I have a 2013 F-150 FX4 5.0L subject to Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01, Transmission Molded Leadframe Extended Coverage. This “recall” expired December 2023. I just purchased this Truck [XXX] and Just started experiencing issues tied to this “recall” today ([XXX]) as the truck would not start and the message came stating put in park to start, which it was. I called the local Ford dealership and they set up a mobile visit to clear the 19S19 recall then said that it was not tied to the leadframe issue and i would have to pay out of pocket. The dealer, Palmetto Ford in Charleston, SC told me that they could not fix the ongoing recall on this vehicle (19S19) and told me to contact local dealer. The 19N01 recall is ongoing through the country from what i am starting to read and don't think it is fair that Ford knowing this problem still exist wants to charge almost $2000 to get it fixed now when they were once doing it for free. Why did it expire in 2023, when they knew this was going to continue to happen? I am hoping the NHTSA can get the 19N01 recall back into effect as they need to be accountable for their flaws. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My two thousand thirteen ford f150 3.5 Ecoboost has the safety consumer alert for the powertrain. My vehicle downshifs and loses all power to the engine, and the dealership will do nothing for me. As they state the notice expired last year, my vehicle only has a hundred and twenty nine thousand miles on it, and I would like to see how I can get this fixed

I was traveling 55 mph on highway when without any warning or hesitation the truck on its own down shifted to 2nd gear, resulting in the rear end of truck to swing all the way around turning me a whole 45 degrees! I was very lucky to have been able to pull out of the fish tailing act caused by the down shifted at such a high speed. I had to tow it home from there bc the transmission would then be stuck in 5th gear and randomly shift to 2nd with a bad jerking motion. My local ford dealership told me the recall has expired for my truck?!?!?

I have always owned a ford truck. I recently have poured over $7k recently on typical maintenance and normal wear repairs. Not a big deal since I love my truck and I take good care of it. I have a 2013 F150 4x4 and my vin is part of the “customer satisfaction” recall. I purchased my truck used from an actual dealership (Mercedes Benz) but I also paid $3,000 at that time for a Premier Protection plan. (Used only once for the water pump). In the past 3.5 years I’ve had this truck I have only driven it 30k miles and it currently has 116k miles on it. It is very well maintained and serviced. Recently the truck went into limp mode while I was driving on the freeway and I almost flipped the vehicle with my toddler also in the vehicle and it was raining. It was the most scariest experience I’ve ever had driving. I want this issue resolved and Ford needs to stand by its product. This is ridiculous. The wrench light of death illuminated when this incident occurred. I called the local dealer and they laughed at me over the phone and basically told me it’s not a safety issue and it’s expired. This is not acceptable and I will be contacting the local news media outlets and I will be reaching out as far as taking legal recourse over what is clearly a massive safety issue. I purchased vehicle in 2021 and vehicle just started having the issue two years after the fix for free from dealer expired.

The same exact issue as stated in recall 19S07, I was driving on the highway at highway speeds 75-80 miles per hour, and my truck suddenly and instantly down shifted directly to 1st gear. Catastrophic failure, I am extremely lucky that I did not get in an accident or die, and that my engine did not explode from the sudden RPM jump.

My 2013 Ford F-150 started demonstrating operational transmission issues in October 2024. I took the vehicle to a local transmission shop and they advised the issue, a defective molded lead frame in the 6R80 transmission, was actually covered under a Ford safety recall (#19S07) which was issued prior to that date. I subsequently had my truck towed to Sarasota Ford (Sarasota, Florida) where it sat for several months. In January 2025, I was notified my truck was being brought in for evaluation. After several delays (i.e.-dead battery, incorrect recall, etc.) my truck was diagnosed. While the service techs were able to duplicate the transmission failure (stuck in 1st gear, wrench displayed on dash display, speedometer and odometer stop working), they claimed they were not able to obtain the needed diagnostic codes. After several more weeks of attempting to work with Ford's corporate office to find a solution, I colllected my truck from Sarasota Ford on January 31, 2025. Six r, days later, I delivered my truck to Vic's Performance Transmission and Automotive Inc. (1201 11th St E Palmetto FL 34221). Within two to three hours, the staff at Vic's Transmission were able to diagnose my truck as having a faulty transmission molded lead frame. They made the repair within a few days and my vehicle has been operational since then. On February 19, 2025, I mailed a letter outlining greater detail of the aforementioned events and requested assistance from the President of the Ford Customer Service Division. To date, I have not received any correspondence or reply mail from Ford. I am requesting your assistance with addressing this matter. As a loyal Ford customer of 30+ years, I think I deserve corrective action. I attempted to resolve the matter myself, with not response from corporate, I have moved on to my only option. The recall (#19S07) was there, yet Ford failed to act or respond appropriately. I only seek reimbursement of the money spent to repair my truck. Thank you.

Vehicles rearend locks up and causes loss of control of vehicle. Has not been inspected by a Ford dealer or independent. Vehicle has not been inspected by Manufacture, Police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Problem started mid to late 2024.

I was driving at about 65-70mph. The yellow wrench light came on. My spedometer went to zero and my digital screen went blank. I exited the road and restarted the truck. Everything seemed to be operating properly so I got back on the road. I got back up to 65-70mph and then heard a loud bang from the engine and my back tires locked up. I was able to exit the highway safely and called a tow truck. 1. Powertrain, vehicle was repaired 25Mar25. No I do not have any of the old parts. Disposed of by dealership. 2. Easily could have caused an accident. I was very lucky. 3. Dealership confirmed the problem and installed new tech. Adaptive transmission system. 4. We paid cash. As there was no accident or injuries, no police report was necessary. 5. Yellow wrench light appeared on the instrument display, then spedometer went to zero even though I was traveling 65-70mph. Additionally, my main digital display went blank (not the radio/nav display). This was the first time any of these symptoms happened. Although my 2103 is not within the Ford recall window for this identified issue, it is quite clear that this is incredibly similar, if not exactly the same safety problem. We received a letter from Ford some years ago, acknowledging the potential issue, but it said no fix was available at that time. No recall was issued for my 2013 Ford F150 XLT EcoBoost.

traveling on highway at speed of 65 to 70 mph and vehicle suddenly downshifted and experienced a loos of power. dashboard went off and I lost control of the vehicle. my safety was put at risk due to loss of power of vehicle. I could not identify anything wrong with the vehicle before it happened.

My 2013 F-150 suddenly downshifted (without warning) from sixth to first gear at 55 mph on March 21, 2025. My engine was at risk of blowing out because of that incident. Fortunately, no one was tailgating me at the time, also. A "recall repair" was performed at a Ford dealership on June 27, 2019. This vehicle is currently being diagnosed at a local transmission repair shop.

While in traffic on the highway in St. Louis at 65 mph the transmission shifted from 6th gear to 2nd gear causing the vehicle to slow very suddenly. I came close to getting rear ended. Horns honking getting flipped off etcetera. I was not expecting the shift as I was neither accelerating nor decelerating until the transmission down shifted. Engine rpm went from 1200 or so to at least 6500 rpm as the rear tires broke loose and skidded. My own research showed cracking of the wiring and/or loose connections can cause this. Wiring harness replaced inside of the transmission and computervreflashes were required to fix it.

Truck has been thrown into limp mode multiple times with codes P0720 and P0722 being thrown per OBD scanner. Turning the truck off and on gets rid of the wrench and check engine light and allows the transmission to work normally again. The first two times were on acceleration, months apart. It now does this consistently at highway speeds so I am unable to take it on busy roads, the last time I was on the interstate I was going below traffic speed with hazards on until the exit because the truck slowed from 80 to 40. It couldn't get up the ramp after pulling off so I took side roads home. As far as I can tell this is associated with customer satisfaction program 19N01 and Ford sold these trucks with a faulty lead frame. The truck is 12 yrs 120k miles instead of the 10 yr 100k warranty Ford offered for this part specifically, I don't see how the age makes a difference if Ford has admitted to using faulty parts in the transmission already

I had the transmission issue that's been reported of downshifting to 1st gear will traveling at speeds around 65 mph and recalled on F150 trucks, but for some reason my truck was never under recall so I had to pay $5700 for a new transmission before it killed me. If I had the same issue that has been recalled, why wasn't I covered under the recall?

While driving on highway the vehicle suddenly shifted into first gear causing my rear tire to lock up and the momentary loss of vehicle control. I deviated from my lane and as the rear of my vehicle skidded in a fishtail type action. Following this incident the vehicle has shifted into first multiple times at lower speeds in conjunction with loss of speed indication.

This is in regard to the current investigation concerning the transmission downshifting unexpectedly. My 2013 F-150 has done the same thing several times since I bought it new. Fortunately I was not driving at a high speed but each time lower than around 35 MPH. It has a 6 speed auto transmission and would drop down into 1st or 2nd gear and show it's in tow/haul. Also sometimes when I first start to drive it, the transmission is in tow/haul when I never selected that. I notice when I hear the engine rpm high and notice I don't have good pickup speed. To remedy both issues I push the button in on the gearshift lever and it immediately starts to work properly. I have reported this to the Ford dealership maintenance representative a couple times but they said they never heard of any trucks doing this. Nothing was ever done about it. I continue to drive it and have 138,000 miles on it. I'm letting you know this because according to what I am reading, 2013 models are not included in the investigation.

The 2013 f150 has the same problem with the transmission dropping into 1st gear!

I coasted to a parking lot on my trucks own forward momentum, shut the vehicle off restarted the vehicle. The gauges were working again, and the transmission seemed to be working as well. The second time it happened to me was while I was driving and it did the exact same thing, but I did not have to pull over to restart the vehicle. It started working again suddenly, at that time, the gauges were working. My husband was on the highway trying to pass another vehicle when he gave it gas, the truck suddenly lost all power, the transmission sounded like it was in neutral revving up due to giving it gas. Then just as suddenly it slammed really hard back into gear with a loud boom, so hard in fact, he thought he was hit from behind and was jerked forward in the vehicle violently. I contacted the dealership who works on our car and was told without a check engine light or a code there’s nothing they can do but to bring it there when it does that. The problem occurs intermittently and corrects before we can get to the dealership. I told the Ford dealership about the recall on the six speed transmission, 19S07, and was told that recall was taken care of in 2019 at Auffenburg Ford where we bought the vehicle. What is going on now is exactly the description of that recall, but because there are no active recalls for my vehicle the dealership does not want to even look at the vehicle. I and my husband or another driver could have been killed with high speed power loss like this. How do I get this recall re-added so the dealership will do something before a fatality?

I was driving on [XXX] in Georgia. I was going around 75 mph and my transmission dropped from 6th gear to 1st Gear my speed dropped from around 75 mph to 25 mph in less than a second. My safety and the safety of other vehicles/people were put in danger, I almost lost control of my steering and hit somebody in the right lane next to me. Three Vehicles behind me had to slam on their brakes and swerve around me to avoid rear ending me. When the vehicles transmission dropped gears rapidly, at the same time I got a gear wrench symbol across my cluster display, and I lost functionality of the vehicles mph gauge and gas gauge. The fasten seatbelt light was also on but no audible warning tone was heard.. The vehicle also lost acceleration power. I was able to get the vehicle home and turned the car on and off and everything went back to normal. This is an intermittent issue with no warning when it will happen. There was a recall from ford for a programming issue with the tranny and currently a CSP with campaign #19N01 for a Transmission molded leadframe extended coverage. Basically the lead frame needs to be replaced to correct the problem which is 4,000 to 6,000 dollars. Ford will not fix my lead frame because I am past certain dates and over the mileage by 2,200 miles. I also needed to be displaying symptoms and the code for ford to fix the issue if I was within dates and mileage. I didn’t display any codes or symptoms until I was 2,200 miles over the CSP warranty coverage. I also just bought the truck in September of 2024 and was not aware of this issue. I can’t express enough how dangerous going from 75 mph to 25 mph in a second on a busy freeway is. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Truck would not shift out of first gear after coming to a stop and then accelerating. I had to pull over, shut truck off and restart truck. This has occurred 3 times in 2 days. Noticed wrench light came on indicating a problem. Hooked to code reader and got codes po722 (output shaft speed sensor circuit no signal) and code b00a0 (occupant classification system). After doing some research I found that Ford has had some recalls and service problems with this same issue. I was never notified by Ford of any recalls or service issues with this vehicle. I only found out after doing research on what the codes meant and how to try and fix the issues. The engine could have blown up from running high rpm’s because it wouldn’t shift. After reading other people’s experiences with this same issue I am extremely concerned for the safety of myself and others that this issue could cause a serious accident. The first occurrence was 12/19/24 and then again 12/20/24. I plan to take the truck to a repair shop as soon as I can get an appointment. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Driving along and then I get a quick illuminated wrench symbol which disappears. All the dash information disappears but the tach still worked but the speedometer stopped working but an illuminated airbag symbol came on and stayed light. The truck was sluggish and didn’t want to shift were it should have. This first time this happened on Oct 29, 2014 then again Dec 9, 2014.

There was a warranty extension but for 10 yrs or 150,000 miles which ever comes first. I called Ford customer service on Dec 11, 2024. Long story short the guy said he was sorry I was having this issue but the extended warranty expired last year. I bought the truck new in Dec 2013. I said it’s still a safety issue so they should still cover it but he said no because of the time gram even though I was under the 150,000.

[XXX] . I was driving with cruise control at 60mph when the speedometer suddenly fell to zero and the truck jerked momentarily into low gear which schreeched the tires due to the sudden and uncontrolled deceleration. Fortunately the road was dry and no vehicles were close behind me. And fortunately I was driving (and not my wife or kids) and I wasn't in busy metro traffic which surely would have caused a multi car crash. No malfunction/idiot lights appeared in the dash display. The local mechanic read a diagnosis as the OSS and said to have Ford repair it. Ford repaired P0722 and P012B and charged me $1817.45; paid in full using my credit card.

Vehicle was going around 55 mph and dropped out of gear and into limp mode or 1st gear. Happened yesterday as well around 55 mph with cruise control on. Used a scan tool and no codes given.

We had recall work on the truck done on Nov 14, 2024 for the power train randomly downshifting to 1st gear without warning. Yesterday, Nov 30, 2024, I was exiting the hi-way at approximately 50 mph when the truck jerked, tires squealed, throws me to the steering wheel, and goes to limp mode. I was able to get it into a nearby parking lot and turned it off. The truck will not start now. This is exactly what the recall said it was supposed to fix.

I was recently driving on the freeway in the #1 lane when my 2013 F150 began to experience a loss of power. While traveling at 70 mph, I noticed that my transmission had shifted and was stuck in 5th gear. I continued to depress the accelerator with no response. I then felt a sudden jolt from the transmission shifting to a lower gear and continued to travel. There was no warning light indicating that the truck was experiencing a malfunction. On Nov 26th I took my truck to an authorized Ford dealership service department who performed a diagnostic test on the transmission who recommended an immediate transmission flush and service, which I scheduled immediately. While on scheduling the repairs to my vehicle I learned that there was a recall on the 2011-2013 Ford F150 trucks. I learned that NHTSA issued a recall on 2/11/2019 and 6/10/19 due to the component failure of the transmissions in those vehicles causing the loss of power while driving. Both of these recalls involved either electrical component failure or mechanical failure of the parts installed in each vehicle that involved the powertrain. I was never notified by the NHTSA or Ford Motor Corporation of the recalls on my vehicle. During a phone conversation with Ford I was told that there is no longer a recall on the 2011-2013 F150. I was also told by a representative of Ford that there is no record of Ford sending me notification of the time of the recall. Here are the recall numbers that I found: 1. 19V075000 2. 19V433000 3. 16V345000 Thank you for your consideration.

Since I purchased the vehicle I have found numerous it’s that are claimed as recommended fixes as the dealer has told me. And now that I keep seeing the rear camera show up for recalls is what made me mad enough to write this. My vehicle has the rear camera that will go off and either not show anything as if I was not in reverse which I am at the time, or it just shows a blue screen. And I have seen other people complain about this on YouTube for my model/year. Also the transmission lead frame which they did end up actually saying when it went that there was a recall for this, BUT if a certain code supposedly didn’t show up on the code reader it was not covered under the warranty. Which of course mine did not have the correct code so I had to pay out of pocket. But coincidentally when I picked it up they said they gave me a discount which everyone knows when a dealer states something they are charging there is no change in the price, but that went from $1150 to $850 I believe. Also the timing chain is known to jump and cause engine failure. Next this stuff may not have to do with safety so I’m sure you will also deny responsibility for is the rear main seal is known to leak. The turbo leaks behind the passenger side front tire. And the driverside back split power heated window is known to shatter. Can anyone tell me how all these can be on the internet as problems and “recommended fixes” then now the new ones get recalls for the same issues and mine is not covered and the new ones are. Yes you can look them all up and see them for yourself. When I found the back window one I was looking to find out how to replace it myself when the first video that showed up was a guy saying he did the same thing looking for how to fix it, and seen videos of people saying that it is a recommended fix for ford. The only receipts I may have, I will look is for the transmission lead frame and the one for the back window. I will look for them. The other problems still

The vehicles lead frame is causing truck to down shift no matter the speed then rev super high and barely move when trying to accelerate after. Speedometer, odometer, gauges(everything on the dash) goes to 0 or disappears and a wrench pops up. Truck got towed to a dealership where they updated the pcm and told me the problem was solved. Hours later i was about to enter the highway and the truck downshifts and will hardly move. Taken to ANOTHER dealership where on the phone beforehand the guy confirmed the lead frame issue and told me everything would be fixed free of charge do to recall. Days later they tell me they cannot do it because the warranty expired? i’ve never had this problem before and truck is under 150k miles. rather upset considering how dangerous this is especially if i made it onto the highway and this seems to be a common issue.

In April 2024, My vehicle lost power while driving on the interstate and no warning, just a wrench popped up on the instrument panel. I put the vehicle in neutral and started back up and no more issues since until this past week in October 2024 with about 145000k miles, it happened twice without warning on the interstate. I looked up my Vin# and saw there was a noted issue from Ford Motor Company but no recall. It showed molded leadframe in some of its vehicles through Customer Satisfaction Programs 16N02 and 19N01. This should be a national recall because it is a safety issue when it gives no warning before it happens and could cause a major accident or death.

I lost my speedometer, mileage reading go out along with losing 1st 2nd and 6th gear. I got home turned it off and turned it back on and everything started working again. From what I read this is the same problem that ford had and did a recall on 1.2 million of the same year of truck. But my truck doesn’t show it was recalled

Transmission cooling lines in the 2009-2014 Ford F150 seems to have a known issue of failing near the connector lines by the radiator. My truck has just over 70k miles and just blew without notice (regular neighborhood driving). Link to discussion forum on the issue: [XXX] Mechanic discussing the issue: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was traveling on the highway at a speed of 70 mph, when out of nowhere my truck downshifted to first gear; causing me to swerve to the side of the road. I had my vehicle towed to a shop where I was informed it was a module for the transmission and lead case which caused the malfunction. Upon doing the research I learned that it was a recall from the plant which my truck came from. Had repairs done at the tune of $5320.00. Also was told by a consumer service representative that I qualified for reimbursement, but then was told that my vehicle was not part of the recall which specifically displayed the exact symptoms and malfunctions of said recall-24S37.

I took my 2013 Ford F150 in on Feb. 15, 2019 due to a recall. They reprogrammed the software, only took a few minutes. This is recall #19S07. It was due to the truck possibly shifting from any gear into first gear suddenly. Very dangerous. I did not have that problem before or since the recall until one week ago. Pulling onto the highway, RPM's went very high (3500-4000) even though I was only going est. 25 MPH. My speedometer showed "0". This problem comes and goes and now I feel completely unsafe driving my truck. I contacted Ford customer service and I do not think they will fix this unless I cover the tab. I feel that this is unfair. I have taken it in and left it all day but they did not get to it, my local Ford dealer is out until mid November for service. My truck now gets stuck in first gear or downshifts into first gear and the instrument display goes wacky, no speedometer, etc. I noticed a green wrench icon light up yesterday when this happened. Over 1.2 million F-150's had this problem. Over 100,000 trucks did not receive the proper PCU reprogram and need new reprogramming. I believe my truck is one of these as I am now having the exact issues that the recall was supposed to solve. Fortunately, I have not been travelling at high speeds when this happens but this problem can cause the transmission to shift from any gear at any speed into first gear, which could be life threatening. According to Ford, it is the powertrain control module software that causes this problem. Trucks built at Dearborn Assembly Plant, 4/28, 2010 to 10/28, 2013 and Kansas City Assembly Plant, 5/18, 2010 to 11/18, 2013 have this problem. My truck's manufacture date is March 2013 so it falls into both of these timeframes. I feel that this is a severe safety issue and could result in serious injury or even death. I think that because the 2019 service recall did not solve the issue, since my truck has these exact things going on with it, Ford is responsible. Thnx

the transmission cooling lines broke and caused the transmission to size

The 2013 Ford F150 we bought has had nothing but problems with it when we bought it. We did have one recall done on the transmission. We took it back in to the ford dealer and they confirmed now that the transmission is bad and is $7,000 to repair. There should be a recall done on the transmission completely as the transmission should not be bad on a 2013 ford vehicle. When driving the truck it would shift really hard going in to 4th gear. This definitely is a safety issue as we have not been able to even drive this truck on the freeway due to shifting so hard.

One year ago I experienced my truck down shift to 1st gear suddenly, my truck shut off and a yellow wrench appeared on the dash. I restarted the truck and it ran fine for a week before this happened again. I found a notice from Ford that the NHTSA had required Ford to fix this issue. I took my truck to the local Ford dealer, but they couldn't find the associated code for the problem. They did replace a transmission module. This past week, while driving 65 mph, my truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused an accident with the vehicles behind me. The same yellow wrench appeared and my truck turned off. This time, at the Ford dealer, they found the code that matched up to the NHTSA alert but they said the repair requirement had expired. I paid $1350.00 for a lead frame replacement. This is exactly the repair required, but Ford would not stand behind the required repair. Do I have any recourse through NHTSA?

2011-2013 Ford F150 models with 6R80 Transmissions have a mechanical defect in the Molded Lead Frame and Output Speed Sensor (OSS). It was recalled under 19N01B and a safety recall 19S07 . I have had several incidents over the past year (2023-2024). When the OSS isn't read the truck will display a orange Wrench symbol and the truck will enter Limp Mode and although it continues to run it has very limited power and the speed and tachometer gauges go to zero. I have had this happen 2x times, both times it is a frightning occurance since it happens suddenly and usually in the flow of traffic. pulling to the side of the road and restarting the truck will clear the problem. I have also had the problem when starting out from a stop light and find the engine revs, but limited forward speed. The transmission will not upshift from 2nd or 3rd gear since the OSS is not reading and the transmission module doesn't know when to shift. Again pulling over and restarting the truck fixes the problem. This has occured 2x time in the past year also. I have taked the truck into a repair facility who has checked it out and could not duplicate the problem. I have had a code scanner connected since the first incident in September 2023, but no codes have thrown. The latest incident August 2024 I did see the Wrench symbol, lost power at appoximently 50mph. The code scanner recorded a P0720 pending code. I took the truck into Les Stumpt Ford for diagnosis. They found no problem and suggested I just keep driving it or replace the Lead Frame. The warranty for Lead Frame replacement ran out in 2019. I did argue that since this is a known mechanical defect Ford should cover it, but without a recall there is no method for a dealer to cover the defect. This is a startling occurance when the problem occurs and since it is well known at Ford i believe it should be a Ford repair. My truck is scheduled for Lead Frame replacement Sept 15th.

While at highway speeds my truck has recently started downshifting to 1st gear. I've contacted Ford, Ford dealers and provided them with my VIN number and I keep being told my VIN is not included in the recent recall Ford issued. I find it disheartening to say the least that Ford will not acknowledge this! How can they single out just one year model and not all the years that have the exact transmission (6R80) and fix them all. The molded lead frame is the problem! My truck is a 2013 that is exhibiting the exact issues that Ford describes in their recent recall for only 2014 models, but yet my truck is not included. And I am afraid to drive my truck down the road after it locked the tires at 70 mph today when it decided to downshift to 1st gear! UNBELIEVEABLE! How many more crashes, injuries and possibly even deaths have to happen before someone holds Ford Motor Companies feet to the fire and fixes ALL of these lead frames? I am going to be forced to purchase this part and fix it in my garage because I am too afraid to go anywhere in it now after what happened today! Everyone of these transmissions need to be recalled and fixed! It is a MAJOR safety issue!

This is a longstanding issue and I've provided language from the Edmunds website to describe: " The defect has been traced to an output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission." Around 2020, I brought the vehicle to a local Ford/Lincoln dealer, and the powertrain control module software was updated. The update only keeps the transmission from affecting the shift to 1st gear. If related diagnostic trouble codes had been present they would have replaced the lead frame at no cost to the customer. An additional dangerous condition occurs, for roughly 5 seconds, where the transmission will not transmit engine power to the wheels. The warranty extension was for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date. The problem is there should not have been a time component to the warranty extension. If they were willing to extend to 150,000 miles no other limitation should have been allowed. Nearly anytime I need to accelerate to pass on the highway the transmission will try to shift into 1st gear. I'm forced to have to drive in manual shift mode as the 5-second power lag described previously has caused a few very dangerous situations that nearly caused accidents. So for 4 years now the problem has been getting progressively worse to the point that I've had to make unnecessary changes to how I drive the vehicle. It is an automatic and I should not have to use manual mode for it to function or be safe.

Not sure if it is the powertrain or the intercooler for the turbos but when you press the gas to get on the highway or at high speed on the highway and press the gas the check engine light blinks and the vehichal goes into limp mode. Easy to recreate and doesnt seem like ford has a recall for it or even a fix. Every eco boost truck ever made seems to have this issue and if you get rear ended because of it , that sounds like a safety hazard to me. The only fix I have seen from the f150 forums to youtube or anywhere on google is to drill a 1/16 hole in the intercooler and let sludge and condensation drip all over the place. Does not sound like a great fix to me.Not even sure if the intercooler is the culprit or if it's the power train.Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Reference Ford program 19N01 This is an ongoing issue with Ford F150's. This program allows for coverage within 10 years or 100,000 miles. My truck has approximately 78,000 miles. There is a defective sensor in the transmission that when not properly working, causes the transmission to drop into 1st gear and stay there, in other words, not shifting. There are multiple warning lamps when this happens and it has happened multiple times. My vehicle has been inspected by a Ford dealer and they confirmed the issue. However, because the truck is over 10 years old, Ford will not cover the repairs which cost in excess of $1,700. Since this is an ongoing issue with over 1/2 million Ford trucks, this repair should be covered most importantly because it is a safety issue. I don't have a repair invoice yet as my truck is in the process of being repaired. Will provide upon receipt. Thank you!

There's been a very dangerous situation with my truck without any warning, lose all info with it's gauges on the instrument panel and the truck losing power with speed and the transmission locking up or not shifting gears and this causes the vehicles rpm to rev up extremely high to a 4 then sometimes a hard shift can be felt at times . This is creating a very dangerous condition on the highway when speeds are at 75 when without any warning it does this and the truck has felt like it was going to flip due to these problems when they happen or other vehicles are also in danger when the truck slows drastically in front of them while behind me. There's been a recall previously I've noticed on this truck regarding a code that I've been able to get on it when it happens and its PO720 . There was a recall on this truck in 2019 that calls for a replacement of the molded lead frame which describes everything I just mentioned to you above BUT, this recall excluded covering rental vehicles (due to their inventory of parts) and low and behold I've just found out that my truck had been a rental vehicle in its past and during this period of the recall. I've notified the lienholder and Ford Motor Company of my issues and have gotten no help as to how I feel they are responsible for this fix and I think that either they should be made to repair any vehicle ,rental or not, either way its a very bad situation which risks peoples lives. And if by some chance this truck did get the repair that was recalled back then , then I believe those parts are faulty as well and Ford needs to do another recall on this truck before an accident happens and someone gets badly injured or killed by it.

Truck downshifts when trying to increase speed. Truck will not shift into all gears, the check engine light comes on, the speed odometer goes to zero and the miles per gallon screen goes blank. All these items happen at the same time while driving. Today the truck wouldn’t take off. I had to shift gears manually to drive it with the console gear shift +/- buttons

Driving down the highway fling 55 mph and truck shifts into 1st gear and almost makes me wreck. Part previously under recall but Ford says they will not fix. Original recall 19n01. Shut off vehicle and turned back on. I thought everything was normal but then a mild down the road the truck would not shift out of 3rd gear. This is a safety issue. I'm afraid to drive because of the chance of wrecking. During the entire time the odometer and speedometer both show zero so guessing speed.

Hello, on my 2013 ford f150, why driving the vehicle will at random shift from 5th gear to 1st gear, creating a massive loss of power and forcing me to loose speed rapidly. This puts my self, my family and those around me in danger. I have reached online that there is a current recall for 2014 models that do this, but not 2013 models. This seems outrageous to me. This is just as much of a safety concern. Why discriminate between the two years.

The independent mechanic diagnosed that the final drive assembly, including, the spider gears and rear axles were blown due to the ABS system being damaged due to the transmission slightly detaching when the downshift occurred. The final drive assembly was replaced; however, the transmission only shifted from 1st to 2nd gear before downshifting back to 1st gear while making a loud grinding sound. The mechanic diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 157,000.

Don Rich Ford performed recall # 19S07 on the transmission in my 2013 Ford F150 on 07/05/2019. In 2022 the transmission started downshifting to first gear just like the recent recall affecting the 2014 Ford F150's. Ford wouldn't cover it under warranty. They tried to reprogram it again. That did not fix the problem, so they repaired the transmission by replacing the lead frame and filter at Don Rich Ford in Vila Rica GA on 04/18/2022. This repair was covered on the 2011 and 2012 models, but they only extended the warranty on the 2013 models to 150,000 miles. I was just over this limit when the issues started happening and it was repaired at 155,137 miles at a cost to me of $885.69

My vehicle has had two instances on the highway where the vehicle abruptly downshifted from 6th gear down to 1st and the other time down to third. I took it to Ford and they said it was the speed sensor however they said it was not a recall. I see all these recalls on 2013 f150’s but not mine?? Why?? Im having the same issue.

2013 Ford F-150 manufactured 09/13. Truck has 120,000. About 05/01/24 while traveling at 60 mph on the truck lost power, slowed quickly to about 25 mph, I needed to clear through traffic to pull to side of road. The truck would still move but only at 25 mph.. Ck engine light was on as well as other warning lights, odometer displayed - - - the speedometer either displayed 0 or - - - I pulled over, turned truck off waited a couple minutes, restarted and it ran fine, no warning lights drove home. I continued to drive the vehicle for a couple weeks with no problems. On 06/20/24 while traveling at 30 mph in traffic the truck abruptly shifted to a very low gear, no warning lights, pulled over, shut off truck, waited a few minutes, started truck with no warning lights, drove approximately 10 miles to home without incident. 06/23/24 while driving approximately 30 mph the vehicle hard shifted to a very low gear and would not accelerate past approximately 15 or 20 mph, no warning lights. I stopped, turned off, waited a few minutes. Started engine, truck moved but would not shift, I used the manual shift option and it worked, I was able to shift. Drove approximately 1/2 mile to home. I am having truck towed for repairs tomorrow 06/26/24. I was informed of a recall today, 06/25/24 regarding 2014 F-150s, I realize my truck is not listed but it was built at the very end of the model year and I believe it should be reported.

Vehicle: 2013 Ford F150 FX4 SuperCrew/6.5' Box 5.0 V8 4X4 6R80 Transmission 125,000 Miles Date of Manufacture: 6/11/2013 Date of Original Purchase: 12/06/2013 Symptoms: Intermittently, while driving, the vehicle will lose communication with the speed sensor, disable the speedometer and odometer, set the DTC P0720, and lock the transmission into third gear. It has happened while taking off from a stop, climbing grades, and at cruising speed (70+ MPH). At cruising speed, the downshift is violent enough to skid the tires, and makes climbing hills nearly impossible at slow speeds. The CSP: Ford implemented a CSP (Customer Satisfaction Program #19N01-S3) for the replacement of the molded lead frame in the transmission, which contains the defective output speed sensor. The original CSP covered 10 years, or 150,000 miles from the original purchase date of the vehicle. However, as this was a CSP, not a recall, only the original owners of the vehicles were notified, which lead to necessary repair work not being completed in many cases. Second and subsequent owners, like myself, were left unaware of the issues with their vehicles, until the timeframe had already closed. In my case, the initial sign of trouble was only four weeks past the end of the CSP timeline. In summary, I do not trust this vehicle after sliding the rear tires along the interstate as it forced it's way into a lower gear. I will not use this vehicle to transport friends, family, and loved ones until I'm positive it is fixed. I certainly do not trust this vehicle to tow anything at the moment. This has been a very emotionally and financially burdening experience for myself, as I've had to purchase a second pickup to use for my small business and transportation needs, while still paying upkeep on a vehicle I can't use nor sell to anyone in good conscious. This condition poses a serious and potentially life threatening safety concern, and I strongly encourage it to be considered for a proper safety recall.

My truck will downshift on its own, i.e., I’m doing 65 mph on the highway in 6th gear and it will suddenly downshift to 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear, causing my back tires to spin out, I almost lose control of the truck and I lose speed quickly when other vehicles all around me are still doing 65 mph or more. The truck has also failed to shift out of first gear at all, the speedometer needle does not move at all and the truck will not shift up when I’m trying to accelerate. This is a danger to me and to all drivers around me. Ford is aware of this problem, the issue is a faulty lead frame assembly and it needs to be replaced. They issued a recall that called for a PCM reprogramming - a reprogramming of the PCM module was supposedly going to fix the issue with a faulty lead frame assembly! Crazy, it clearly did not as I had the PCM reprogrammed and the truck is still acting crazy due to the faulty lead frame assembly that Ford refuses to replace at their expense. It’s a $200 part!!

On 3 occasions the transmission has downshifting without warning as I was traveling at 65 mph it shifted down to 1st gear, fortunately I wasn't rear-ended. When I called the Ford recall center they told me they had a safety recall on this problem but they are considering it to be an extended warranty and unfortunately my warranty has expired due to it being over 10 years old and because of the high mileage. Told me they can't do anything about that problem anymore. I have owned the truck for several years, I still live at same address as when I purchased the truck and I have never received any recall notice.

Vehicle goes into limp mode when driving or slams into 1st gear, locks up the rear tires and throws the truck sideways. Sent to Mullinax Ford on 6/7/24 after waiting a week to get it in. Recall 19S07 was completed and vehicle brought back and told it was fixed. Vehicle was not driven again until the next day. Saturday, 6/8/24, the truck did it again multiple times at 6am while my husband was driving to work. Ford looked at vehicle on 6/10/24 and determined that the transmission molded lead frame needed to be replaced. Ford issued a CSP regarding this but has an expiration of 150,000 and/or 10 yrs from warranty date. It is UNACCEPTABLE to not cover a subsequent repair that is directly linked to the original safety recall. Just because we take care of our vehicles and the problem did not occur until 162,000 miles does not make it ok to not honor a full repair of a known safety recall and is unacceptable. I have been on the phone all day being passed around to not get any resolution on this or any of my questions answered

Experience hard shifting, loss of power/acceleration, and malfunctioning instrument cluster including speedometer and digital display when accelerating. Scanned error code is P0721. Problem may be related to Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01 (molded lead frame) that has expired for my vehicle which has 193,000 miles. Ford is no longer covering the repair which is a safety hazard for its vehicle owners. Loss of power, inability to accelerate when necessary, and controls that don’t work put me and my passengers at risk. Dealer has confirmed that the problem is most likely due to expired repair but states it is no longer covered by Ford. I do not recall receiving a letter for this problem and I hope Ford will change and decide that customer safety is a concern.

problems with transmission suddenly downshifting or not shifting out of low gear...could possibly cause a accident from the rear...no...no...called dealer was told no recall on my particular vehicle...no warning light as of yet but speed odometer acts crazy

Transmission has stuck in 5th gear multiple times and has suddenly downshifted from 5th to 3rd multiple times and has downshifted from 6th to 5th numerous times, also has started in 5th gear from starting of truck till I unhooked battery and then it went to normal 1st to start. On 2-3 occasions the wrench warning light has come on till I press ok then it may stay on a few seconds then turn off. Putting the safety of my family and others at risk as I travel highways daily. This is all after having to have another transmission in after the recall stating sudden downshift from 3rd to first, that recall caused my transmission to go out with zero help from Bob Moore Oklahoma city. They pointed the blame at me saying it didnt have transmission fluid but the shop that did the swap said it was not low or empty.

6-speed automatic transmission shift issues. Car shifted from 6 to 1st gear while driving down the highway at over 60mph. Recall 19S07 remediation was completed previously, the reprogramming. Now the issues back and the vehicle randomly shifts to 1st gear while in other gears like 4,5,6 going over 40 mph. The issue occurs randomly and creates a major hazard with the vehicle dramatically slowing down until the car gets back to a proper gear . Ford states that the molded lead frame needs replaced and will cost over $1,100. The prior recall didn't fix the issue just delayed a future driving hazard with a cost to the driver.

Our truck lost power and lights on dash came on with a wrench nothing else was working. Truck was not shifting properly and lost all power. We contacted Ford and they said the truck had a recall for transmission module but it was expired and they would not help us. We were never notified of the recall. In speaking with ford they did not want to help us and told us to contact the better business bureau. I found information on this recall online our truck is a 2013 Ford themselves said it should have been fixed but we had no idea of the problem. [XXX] .

while driving at normal speeds, sometimes the transmission would abruptly downshift to 1st gear. Fortunately, for me, it didn't happen at highway speeds, but I've heard that others have done so. I took my vehicle to a repair shop right away, they suspected the problem, and verified it with the diagnostic codes. I had it repaired at my own expense. I checked with my Ford dealer, and they suspected the same problem, but weren't sure they could even get the part, and couldn't even look at it for 6 days. There NEEDS to be a recall!

Driving at 65 mph in 6th gear on the highway the transmission downshifted to first. It was as if I had slammed on the brakes, the downshift was completely unexpected and nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle. After regaining control over the vehicle and getting pulled off the highway into a safe turnout. The transmission had not overheated it was at its normal operating range. I allowed the pickup to sit for a few minutes. I checked the transmission fluid and it was at operating level and was not burnt nor did it have metal flakes in it. After allowing the pickup to sit for about 10 minutes I pulled back onto the highway and attempted to get back up to 65 mph, 1st gear didn’t shift to 2nd until just below 7000 rpm. 2nd to 3rd gear was also nearly 7000 rpm until the shift. The dash read 4th but the truck quit powering the rear wheels, as if the transmission were in neutral. The truck then flashed the orange wrench on the dash and was stuck in 3rd until I pulled over and parked and shut the pickup off for a few minutes. The problem repeated itself after attempting to get on the highway after letting the pickup sit for a few minutes. Prior to this incident there had been a very random and slight shift delay between 3rd and 4th and the trans would downshift from 6th or 5th to 3rd sometimes and there would be a delay in power for a couple of seconds before shifting to 4th then 5th to 6th

When you going down the road, it just downshifts

on march 11 2024 while traveling on the highway my f150 lost all power and stoped on the road. the truck was towed to point pleasant ford dealership. I was informed the transmission was completely out of oil. ford said the lines from the transmission to the oil cooler had failed. this was caused by a defective connector to the oil cooler. I was later informed the lines are steel but the connector is aluminum I wonder if the dissimilar metals caused the corrosion. the truck only had 48,000 miles on it although it is 11 years old. the truck stopping in middle of traffic is an extreme hazard.

I own a 2013 Ford F-150. On numerous occasions while driving at any speeds, 40-70;MPH, the vehicle downshifted from 6th, 5th, and 4th to 1st gear, and cease to come to a halt. . The check engine and wrench warning lights illuminated. I would have to turn the truck off and restart to get out of the middle of the road. I would at times have to do this every few miles in order to make it to my destination. The check engine wrench warning light remained illuminated at times and other times would not, and the transmission failed to shift out of 1st gear. This would only happen periodically at 1st, then started happening on a regular basis I took to Ford dealership and got repairs done. At which time I Questioned if there were any recalls and they stated the recall repairs had already been fulfilled on my vehicle, therefore all costs involved are my responsibility. I paid the repair charges in full of approximately 2000$. Upon researching the recalls which started in 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V433000 (Power Train) or 19V075000 (Power Train). And also seeing documentation in reference to these campaigns that when some of the vehicles were repaired that the broken parts were not all removed from inventory therefore the original recall repairs were made with faulty parts. I then proceeded to phone the Ford dealership back and was pretty adamant that I should be reimbursed for the second repairs as it sounds like same issue of 2019 recall. I was denied my request and was informed to call Ford customer service for reimbursement. As of this date no reimbursement has been made. The failure mileage was approximately 136K

My truck had a safety recall to fix a module that was causing to he transmission to down shift into low gear at high speeds Many times while driving the truck on freeway at 65mph the truck would down shift to low gear causing the truck tires to lock up and engine rev and then it would feel like I was rear ended from behind ..An illumination of a orange wrench would take over the whole display of gauges .The milage and all gauges would just be lines like -- - - - this and service engine light would come on too.I would pull over and restart the truck and it would drive ok again for a little while .I took it to Ford and had the recall fixed. When I went to pick up truck I was told my motor needed to be replaced because me # 7 cylinder was not holding compression.My truck only has 79,000 miles on it .There was no problem with motor before thr transmission started downshifting at high speeds My truck is under the milage to be fixed under warranty but because I don't drive it that much I am out of warranty because its been past 10 yrs .This recall for transmission i believe is what cause my motor to go bad

My 2013 F150 downshifted abruptly from 5th to 1st gear going 55. This caused me to stop dangerously and abruptly. It then got stuck in 1st gear. I turned off truck and restarted and it was stuck in 3rd gear. I did have a check engine light read which were codes: P0720/p0721/p0720 pointing to the output shaft speed sensor. I had Ford dealership TSB performed in 2020 to reprogram PCM to prevent this from happening, wrench icon showed a long with airbag light and dashboard quit working all except RPM gauge. The first time this abrupt downshift occurred was today February 21, 2024. Seems like a very dangerous safety issue and the dealership has no regards to it and said they are booked out and it would be $150 to look into it.

Feb 18th 2024 I was driving my 2013 Ford F150 FX4 (current mileage: 65,900) and I was up to about 55-60 mph when the truck downshifted on its on to 1st gear as I was approaching a curve. My gauges went blank on the vehicle and the check engine light as well as the wrench light came on. I pulled off the road. I tried to turning the engine off and starting it again. As I went to put it in drive, when it hit reverse the truck jerked hard and I went to neutral. As I shifted to drive it jerked hard again and registered the truck in 5th gear sitting still. I tried that (2) more times and same result. I unhooked the battery and reconnected it. Started the truck and no service lights. My family and I continued on our trip to dinner thinking it was just a glitch. After dinner on the way home we experienced the same thing when the truck hit 55-60mph, luckily right in front of an Auto parts store. I had them do a diagnostic test and pulled (3) codes. 1) P0721 Output shaft speed sensor circuit range/performance. 2) P07210-00 and 3) P0722-00. Took it to Ford dealership and said it was a "customer satisfaction recall" but my truck is past the 10 year period being a 2013 model so it's not covered and will be $1,300.

Unknown While I was driving at 45 miles per hour my truck suddenly downshifted to first gear and locked up the rear wheels almost causing me to be rear ended. Now Transmission is stuck in 5th gear

Was driving on a public road about 35 mph when the car decelerated on its own and engine rpm went up significantly (maybe to 4000 rpm) due to the transmission downshifting to first gear. While trying to change to manual shifting (M) I noticed the speedometer was reading zero even though we were moving now approximately 20 mph. Eventually I was able to manually shift to 3rd gear but no further. During this time, the speedometer returned to showing speed and automatic transmission began working again. I was told by the dealer that I did not qualify for the Customer Satisfaction Warranty Extension for the molded lead frame (transmission electrical) since my vehicle was three months past the extended warranty. I mentioned to the dealer representative that this felt more like a safety issue than a customer satisfaction issue during the event. I replaced the lead frame myself.

Last week the Transmission downshifted from 6th gear to third gear and would not shift to first gear when I stopped at a red light. Proceeded in third gear and vehicle finally shifted to fifth gear and would not shift to 6th gear at road speed. At the onset this time, transmission in 6th gear, at speed of 65 to 70, shifted hard into fifth gear and stayed there, wrench appeared on screen, speedometer went to zero and seat belt indicator light came on. I feel our safety was at risk, vehicle would not shift gears. After waiting a while I restarted vehicle and it ran properly. Two separate times when we were traveling on top of a mountain, vehicle threw wrench signal on screen and started vibrating excessively and lost power and went into limp mode. We turned engine off and after waiting a while, we restarted vehicle and it operated properly. My wife almost had a heart attack. Problem was reported to Riverside Ford, Macon, Ga., where we purchased the vehicle. They replied that nothing like this had been reported before and they did not know what the problem was. Random shifting problems continues to this day. There has been two recalls on transmission and I had not received information on this, possibly due to being the second owner. Currently only has 80,456 miles on odometer.

In the past week, the truck started randomly going into “limp mode” while driving; the wrench light would come on and the truck would be undriveable. This left the driver stranded, sometimes blocking traffic, until multiple attempts at restarting the truck eventually lead to success. This could take anywhere from 30 seconds to five minutes. It happened a few times a day. We identified Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01 as the program describing the issue. The Ford dealership agreed, but because the code they saw was different than the one in Ford’s internal memo, they refused to provide warranty coverage (the truck was within the year and mileage limits). Left with no other choice, we have to pay $1,500 for them to fix the exact issue described in their extended warranty coverage. They are replacing the automatic transmission molded leadframe, which they acknowledge is faulty, but because it’s not a recall they don’t legally have to cover it. We are fortunate the issue didn’t result in a wreck, as having to suddenly stop in the middle of the road in lots of traffic is very dangerous. It even broke down twice on the way to the dealership. Calling their corporate customer service line was no help, because they (ironically) “don’t deal with the Customer Satisfaction Programs,” only the dealership has contact with those programs. Checking NHTSA’s reports, it appears others have reported this issue over 65 times. It’s going to get someone killed.

Component or system failure or malfunction: Delayed or no gear shifting. Transmission sudden downshift at low and high speeds, and failure to shift into lower or higher gear at takeoff, and/or while in motion. Safety risk: Sudden downshift at high speed caused stability and control issue at highway speed. The problem has been reproduced by owner and discussed with dealer by phone. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem appeared prior to the failure. A large wrench display appeared on dash at the moment of failure and reoccurs with each failure. Some dash displays zero out and/or disappear. The speedometer drops to zero and fails thereafter to register. Transmission shifting becomes random and sudden or fails entirely. Manuals shifting is sometimes possible and other times not possible. Manual shifting all the way to gear 3, followed by a mild acceleration occasionally causes the speedometer to resume function. Subsequent switching to automatic shift is then possible and automatic shifting functions initially or for varied lengths of time.  Failure produces OBD code P0720 related to workings and overall condition of the output speed sensor circuit.

**Known Ford recall for this exact issue not attached to my VIN***. While driving (9/20/23) on the highway, a wrench illuminated on my dash, odometer went blank, speedometer went to zero, vehicle attempted to accelerate and struggled to shift; shortly after my wheels locked up then released reducing my speed to about 30 mpg within a short period of time (left skid marks on the highway). I nearly got hit by multiple vehicles. I pulled off the highway and restarted my vehicle. The issue did not immediately return until I began driving. Same indications but I was able to drive a few miles to a Ford dealership. Diagnostics will occur tomorrow morning. Suspected cause is a failed transmission output speed sensor for 6-speed automatic transmission which could automatically shift you into first gear resulting in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash (from a FORD website). For Managment: (great training opportunity) I filed this complaint with your customer service via a phone call. The agent was very rude and hard to talk to. She frequently asked me questions and then would cut me off without letting me answer. If the call was recorded, please listen to it. At the end of the call I informed her of her behavior but she did not reply and hung up. I am filing this report because I am not sure she will submit mine.

My 2013 Ford F-150 recently began experiencing transmission shifting problems. As I accelerated from a dead stop, the transmission would not shift out of first gear. The only short term remedy was to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the ignition, wait for 60 seconds and restart the engine. This worked sometimes, sometimes not. I understand there had been a 2011 thru 2013 Ford F-150 transmission recall in 2019 for identical circumstances. I submitted my VIN to check on whether it had been recalled, only to find it was not among those listed, even though the faulty shifting circumstances were identical to descriptions in the 2019 recall matter. A visit to the local Ford dealership left me without an answer, as I was told they currently had no transmission mechanic. Out of an abundance of caution, I took the truck to a local transmission repair service with a description of my problem and request for an evaluation. The service request resulted in confirmation of a faulty speed sensor, which yielded a fault code of PO722-00 (Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal). The Lead Frame was replaced as a result. Again, I believe my circumstances were identical to those being reported by other 2011 to 2013 Ford F-150 truck owners , on or before the 2019 recall, yet my VIN did not match the recall order. I'm sending along this description of my circumstance, requesting consideration for inclusion of my VIN as part of the 2019 recall of 2011-2013 Ford F-150 with this faulty Speed Sensor/ Lead Frame issue.

I believe the power train is defaulting. It is available for someone to look at if they come to us, as it is not drivable. The safety of my family and other drivers on the road is at high risk, as the truck shuts off while driving at any given moment without warning. The problem has been ongoing ever since we had the transmission software recall issue, "fixed." We have taken the truck back to the Ford manufacturer, Airport Ford in Florence, Kentucky, twice, with no help of getting the issue resolved. The wrench light came on before the problem started. We looked into that by taking it to Airport Ford in florence Kentucky. The issue is still ongoing and we are currently no longer driving the vehicle as it will no longer stay running. This has been going on since we had the truck fixed due to a recall notice we received in 2019 or 2020. I would love to keep the truck and have the issue resolved as it is the only vehicle we own.

The truck slammed into 1st gear going 55 mph on the interstate. Through investigation a speed sensor warning was the culprit. Not being able to have truck service for a month due to Ford Dealers being backed up Cavalier Ford sent a mobile mechanic out to me.

As you are driving the vehicle will randomly down shift into first gear, causing the vehicle to potentially slam into first while in mid drive almost as if you hit a wall, this causes the vehicle to lose any information on the dash including speedometer.

The 2013 Ford F-150 had an issue with the transmission randomly shifting while driving. Ford issues a Customer Satisfaction Program, 19B05 to attempt to address through reprogramming. It was later followed up by a Safety Recall 19S19 and supplemental 19S07 to expand the recall. It appears the issue was never resolved and later Ford issue another supplement #3 in their customer satisfaction program 19N01 to actually replace a component called the Transmission Molded Leadframe assembly and also extended the coverage. My truck had several instances of random down shifting while driving so upon taking to the dealer it was found to be part of this Customer Satisfaction Program. The part has been on order for about 9 months and no resolution in sight. Ford has said that since this is part of the Customer Satisfaction Program, and not a Recall, that they are not obligated to provide any other assistance. As a daily driver I cannot count on the truck to be safely driven but have little option. I've had numerous instances of random shifting at highway speeds leading to temporary and sudden issues with control of this 6,000lb vehicle. On some occasions after stopping at an intersection and then accelerating into traffic it will not have shifted into 1st so while accelerating into traffic I'm left not able to move quickly with other drivers taking evasive action to avoid hitting me. I don't know how to elevate this as a priority with Ford to secure parts and get these trucks fixed in a timely manner or offer other options for loan vehicles before someone gets hurt.

Truck would, from a stop, not shift into gear and it would also without warning from a stop not go into gear. If placed into park and then in gear it work. Last incident, driving on interstate felt like transmission disengaged and orange wrench appeared on my screen. Took foot off of accelerator and all my gauges disappeared. No speed, fuel level etc. drove into the next town, pulled into parking lot, shut off engine, restarted engine and all gauges came back up. On hands free phone call with my dealership service manager as soon as it happened and kept them on phone until I restarted engine and started driving. No more incidents and made it home. Vehicle has been repaired, but I never received a notification regarding this issue. and it was not an inexpensive repair.

Complaint: Speedometer is not working, loss of function of speedometer while driving and Downshifting of the gear. The instrumental cluster showed a maintenance warning while driving in which will cause the speedometer to stop working. When trying to drive the vehicle on a stop position, there is a delay on the acceleration. Vehicle feels like it's on 2nd or 3rd gear. This may lead to loss of control on vehicle. I brought my vehicle to Ford service, I had them do a diagnose on my vehicle. The only issue they're able to find is the cooling system leak and rotor/brake pad replacement in which I ended up costing $3700. Knowing this would resolve the main issue. They had my truck for a month and after 24 hours of receiving my vehicle the main issue showed up and can't use it again due to safety issue. I believe the issue of my vehicle is part of 2013 Ford F-150 recall, but my vehicle has not received a recall. I believe this is the issue my vehicle experiencing below. recall no: 19V433000 recall no: 19V075000 How come Ford Service did not know about my vehicle issue when it is the 2013 Ford F150 Recall Problem. But they let me spend big bucks for nothing and still not to be able to use my vehicle until now.

2013 ford f-150 3.5 liter V6. The speedometer stops working while driving at highway speeds and the transmission downshifts suddenly into low gear. I dont think the safety issue needs to be explained in great detail. One minute i am traveling at 60 miles an hour and the next second the rear wheels are sliding as the truck downshifts into 1st gear and slows to 10 miles an hour. This issue was caused by a defective transmission lead frame output shaft sensor. The check engine lights and wrench icon appear and codes P720 and P722 are on computer. This was verified by the service dept. at Berglund ford of Bedford Virginia. There was a safety recall on affected vehicles "Safety Recall 19S07", but mine was not covered so they refused to fix my truck.

On 5-25-2023 my Transmission , suddenly downshifted into first gear at approx. 45 mi per hour. Had I been on the highway with a 65 mi per hour speed limit ,I may have gotten whiplash or possibly lost control of the vehicle. 5-26-2023 just going out and do not know what may or may not happen as yesterday's incident was totally random and never occurred before . My vehicle was recently inspected when I Had turbo coolant line ,and Turbo Vacuum Pump ,replaced.

Truck will not shift out of 1st gear, if it does shift it will skip to 3rd or 5th gear. When this issue happens we also have no gauges on our truck. Pull over, turn truck off and then turn back on and it will correct itself. Took into Ford dealership they said the lead frame needs to be replaced. Truck was put into service 02/23/2013 and today is 05/10/2023. Ford does not want to cover repairs, even though they offered a 10 year extended coverage on the lead frame if there was issues, we are less than 90 days outside that window.

Driving normal and then sudden down shift while driving on the freeway Had the software update and it’s still doing the same thing. Was told the lead frame needs replacement. Ford has so many issues with the parts they are back ordered and I am now moving past the extended 10 year / 150,000 mile warranty. I can’t drive and have no idea when or if parts will be available.

HELLO, Ford Motor Company is not honoring a recall on my 2013 F150 truck transmission leadframe. I took it in for several recalls on this problem and now the other day it shifted wrong on the interstate going to my cancer treatments. This is a major safety issue for me and others. I have a case # and have left 3 messages to the executive office with no return call. No help from anyone in getting this resolved, before someone gets hurt. Michelle

what is a reasonabe time for dealers to get parts to repair a recall. They keep saying parts on back order. Other parts are available to repair but company will not approve due to cost.

unexpected down shifting of transmission and sudden exceleration and loss of some control their was no warning light or check engine light

My 2013 Ford F150 has been throwing wrench light while downshifting automatically. for months. Then I lose my speedometer and the airbag light illuminates. I also have had random downshifting that causes a lock up in the back end (basically giving the feeling of slamming on the breaks). I took my vehicle in to Ford dealership on 12/8/22 and they did states that it was part of the 19N01 lead frame recall. My truck was at around 104,000 miles. I have called multiple times with no luck on when part will be available. I have no other vehicle to drive and ford has not offered any type of resolution. After having the rear end lock up multiple times I am concerned to continue driving the vehicle. I am also very concerned with what kind of other damage all this erratic downshifting is doing to my vehicle, especially the automatic transmission.

So the safety recall dealing with the (OSS) I just had done. However, the 0720 or 0702 issue that Ford has implemented an Extended warranty on the Transmission Lead Frame is a fatality waiting to happen. This is every bit a safety hazard as the down shift issue. This issue causes your speedometer to go dead, all of your gauges except the gas to go negative and your gears will go from 1st to 3rd, or 1st to 5th. The issue with this, I cant count how many times I've been at a stop sign or light, waiting to pull into traffic when I have an opportunity , I pull out and my truck just Boggs down because it has shifted from 1st to 5th from a dead stop... now, I've pulled out into traffic with traffic approaching at speed and instead of being able to get up to speed myself I'm a sitting duck! This is crazy, you never know when it's gonna happen, but it happens to me at least 3-6 times a trip. Now I just had the recall updated today, but when they ran the diagnostics to confirm I have the 0702 issue and they can fix it under the extended warranty, the part is anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months out. LOL. That's rediculous. I clearly can't go that long without my vehicle. And Ford isn't gonna give any sort of compensation for a loaner car or rental car for this issue. So I'm stuck driving a vehicle that is a major safety factor everytime I'm on the road. If I could guarantee it wouldn't hurt anyone else, i wish I would get in an accident. Then we could hold Ford accountable for this safety issue. And with the mass numbers of consumers on line that say they're having this same issue, you'd think Ford could get the part out quicker. There are a lot of people with this same issue. I'd be crazy to think it hasn't yet cause major accidents! Class action law suit, I don't know what our options are, but I've tweeted Ford, and called corporate and they aren't doing anything other than the extended waranty. Took me nearly 2 months for a dealer to even get me in for the SAFTEY recall! SMH

Truck downshifts too low gear while driving at highway speeds. Speedometer goes to zero and RPMs run high. Ford has a voluntary recall in place to replace the lead frame in the transmission, but the part is on back order and dealership has no idea how long it will take to receive the part. Ford refuses to provide loaner vehicle or reimburse for rental car. My truck has been at dealer awaiting part for over a month, but many others have been waiting for much longer.

The 19N01 safety recall -Lead Frame for transmission relacement part for 13' F-150. Ford has NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN STOCK, In taking my vehicle to dealership, they confirmed it needs to be replaced, however- I'm shit out of Luck for an expected ship date. The part is simply on back order. UNACCEPTABLE !!!!! My dealership stated the only reason they we're familiar with it was because they just had a F-150 come out of shop after 8 MONTHS !!!! Are you kidding me, Who can allow their vehicle to be out of service for that Long.??? not I- I need contact info for someone at FORD to be able to lite a fire under someone- This is ridiculous.

Transmission malfunction. Ford extended the warranty on the Transmission Lead Frame due to issues with unanticipated downshifting at highway speeds and being locked in first gear.

My Ford F-150 has an extended warranty recall of Transmission lead frame where by sometimes it doesn’t change gears and stays on one gear. The recall was done in 2019 & I was not the owner when I bought it I was not aware that’s in 2021. Until July it started having issues and I went to a ford dealership who diagnosed it but been more than 3 months and they have refused to fix it. It dangerously to drive but I keep driving it as I don’t have another car to take to work.

While operating this vehicle on 12/2/2022 at freeway speeds (55-60 MPS) in morning rush hour traffic, the truck exhibited a sudden and immediate downshift of the transmission from 5th to 1st gear. This caused my back tires to lock up and begin to slide, which caused me to momentarily lose control of the vehicle. The issue appears to be loss of communication with the speed sensor that selects and moves the gears. This nearly caused an accident in morning rush hour traffic as I lost control of the vehicle. This issue appears to be related to Ford Recall@ 19S07, and I reached out to my dealership on 12/2/2022 and was told that they would research and call me back. On 12/5/2022 I called the Ford Recall/Customer service line for more information. At that time, I was told it had already been serviced and they only stand behind the recall work for 12 months and to "keep my receipts since there was a pending NHTSA legal action" for potential reimbursement.

When attempting to coast to a stop at slow speeds the throttle stays up and even causes the truck to accelerate at times. The truck will shift hard randomly. The truck appears to get stuck in a high gear and loses power to accelerate, at times. Driving at highway speeds the truck loses power. A mechanic shop pulled codes p0720 and P0722. The mechanic shop referred me to the dealer because the codes were under an extended warranty for a recall 16s19-supplement #1. The dealer reported that they did not pull any codes off the truck except finding erratic misfires. The dealer reported that the truck engine light has to come on for them to read a code. They reported they can not order the lead frame part until they pull a code off the truck. They also report the part is on back order with no ETA. The trucks wrench light continues to come on but not engine light. An auto body shop was able to pull P0720 code off my truck without the engine light coming on. Ford has not returned my calls.

This is a duplicate report. Not sure prior report was transmitted. Average traffic and a clear day with a dry road (Interstate highway), while driving at the posted speed limit of 70mph with cruise-control engaged, the 6-speed automatic transmission suddenly downshifted to a lower gear (See NHTSA Campaign ID: 19V075000). The downshift caused the vehicle to slow with a rough and sudden jerk which could have resulted in loss of vehicle control. All dashboard instrumentation, except for the tachometer, stopped functioning. There were no 'warnings' previous to this failure. After shutting the engine down then restarting, the engine and transmission seem to operate normal. Have taken vehicle to local Ford dealer where the failure was confirmed, but the dealer has yet to perform any fix though the problem is covered by Ford Recall #19S07. The problem has not reappeared as of this date. No inspections have been conducted since the vehicle was observed at local Ford dealer on October 13th. Today's date is November 18th, week number six since the Ford dealer first had knowledge of the problem.

01 Apr 22, vehicle was received from Penske Ford after coolant leak to include scheduled maintenance such as engine oil and filter change, engine air filter, transfer case fluid change, drive belt, front differential fluid change and lastly the transmission fluid and filter change. Mileage in was at 156877 and mileage out from the services was 156879. Approximately 6,000 miles added from the mileage counter, the vehicle experienced sudden downshift with speedometer dropping to zero and passenger airbag caution illuminated on the dashboard. Upon reading the code via the OBD2 code reader, the following DTC were noted: p0720 output shaft speed sensor circuit; p0722 Output Shaft speed sensor circuit no signal; U0401:00-0B Invalid Data received from ECM/PCM A; B00A0:68-8B - Occupant Classification System; U0401:68-0B Invalid data received from ECM/PCM A; U0401:00-0A. Safety risk was the sudden down shift while going at normal speed or flow of traffic. Sudden downshift can result into a rear end collision. The vehicle has not been inspected since the malfunction however, through research of TSB 19N01 and contacting the dealership, it was determined that the extended warranty did not apply due to the mileage exceeded the 150,000 therefore I ended up buying and fixing my own vehicle with current mileage of 163421.4 at completion. This vehicle was also recalled for 19NS19 because of 6R80 transmission. I am unsure if this warrants another recall however, it is my belief that it should be looked at again.

My truck is subject to NHTSA Recall No. 19V075000 (Ford recall no. 19507), involving a defect which causes the transmission to suddenly and without warning downshift from a high gear into first gear, at highway speeds. This happened to me driving on an interstate highway. Fortunately, at the time i was traveling at only approximately 40 mph. The wheels locked causing the truck to skid suddenly, and I was able to shift to neutral and drive to the shoulder. I brought the truck to Livermore Ford dealership for repair on August 31, 2022. They acknowledged the truck was subject to recall, wrote up a repair order. They claimed to have reprogrammed the transmission. Several days later, the same shifting problems occurred. I returned the truck to the same dealership on September 7, 2022. Again they acknowledged the truck was subject to a safety recall for this problem, and said they had to order a part to repair the recalled defect. The part was referred to as a "molded lead frame" which apparently contains the defective module which erroneously reads the vehicle speed a 0 mph even though it may actually be traveling at highway speed. They told me the part would be delivered in early October, and advised me not to drive the vehicle. The work order specifically states: "DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THE VEHICLE." I contacted the dealership on October 6, and they advised me that the part had not arrived and they had no idea when it would be delivered because the manufacturer would not ship parts until there were more claims. I filed a complaint with Ford (case # CAS 38990194) on October 7, and was advised I would be contacted with updates. I have called and emailed numerous times, and Ford has not returned any calls or responded to my emails. In essence, Ford has failed and/or refused to repair the recalled safety defect on my truck, and is refusing to provide me with any information as to why it has not been repaired and when it will be repaired.

While traveling at highway speeds the vehicle unexpectedly downshifts to 1st gear causing the vehicles wheels to lock up which results in a total loss of control of the vehicle. Other times the vehicle will fail to shift/ accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed, which is certainly a safety concern when it happens while attempting to merge into traffic. At the same time the speedometer guage needle will drop to zero mph. The speedometer will only work again after the vehicle is shut off and restarted. Another huge safety hazard is that occasionally when the gas pedal is released the vehicle will continue to accelerate on its own for a short period of time.

The contact owns a Ford . The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph the vehicle jerked, when decelerated at 30 mph it jerked again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission lead frame needed to be replaced. The local dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to call the NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 165,000.

The molded lead frame on the assembly on the transmission burned back causing transmission to be stuck in 5th gear. I had to have replaced the molded lead frame along with the valve body, only because the molded lead frame was 2 to 3 months out. I then looked up and seen a tsb of 13-6-8 bulletin affecting my truck .Was wondering if I could get reimbursed for the molded lead frame. The warning signs were a wrench sign,then no speedometer , dashes on the mileage, stuck in 5th gear. Along with the seat belt reminder on.The truck was repaired at a auto shop.

While driving around 70mph on the highway, the truck suddenly down shifted into 1st gear causing the tires to lock up and the truck to veer off the road to the shoulder. After slowing down for a second the truck began shifting normal again

The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure reoccurred three times while driving that same day. The contact was able to drive to his residence. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring more frequently while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission molded lead frame needed to be replaced under Ford Customer Satisfaction Program Campaign Number: 19N01. The dealer later diagnosed that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle would jerk significantly while shifting into gears. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

I have 2013 Ford f150 Fx4 Ecoboost 140,000miles on it. While driving my truck will unexpectedly downshift while I'm trying to accelerate so I took it to Ford dealership because recall mentioned a sudden downshift to first gear which is what my truck was doing but after taking it to the dealership to be repaired the problem has gotten worse and now when I try to accelerate the rpms go up but my truck doesn't respond even when I push the pedal all the way to the floor it happens at least once a day now. Today I was attempting to cross the opposite lane when my pedal stopped responding and had the oncoming vehicles been any closer there would of been a head on accident, this puts my safety at risk as well as my daughter's and other drivers. although I had to bring it in for it to be fixed and they say they fixed it the problem continues so to me I would say yes it's been confirmed by a dealer and inspected, and supposedly repaired or reprogrammed, but if you would like to inspect it or confirm anything be my guest, I video of it suddenly downshifting but cannot attach it because the file is to large so I took screenshots of the video the first pic at 21sec in it's in 4th gear 2nd pic at 25 sec in shows it downshift to 1st 3rd pic at 30 sec in shows it jumping up to 6th

When starting off transmission will not shift out of first gear. Speedometer remains at zero. Only way to fix the problem is to pull off the road and restart the vehicle. Sometimes the wrench icon appears on the dashboard. This problem began at approximately 70,000 miles on the odometer. Vehicle was taken in for repair and the speed sensor was replaced. This did not correct the problem.

9/16/22 My wife was driving about 50 mph when the transmission suddenly shifted into 1st gear causing the rear end of the truck to slide sideways and hit a curb. The force of the collision with the curb caused the right rear tire to blow out and my wife was left with bruises from the seatbelt. The was no warning prior to the incident. The truck was at the dealership on 7/13/22 for a recall for this same problem, they flashed the PCM and said that would fix the problem. I have since brought it back to the dealership they said the lead frame speed sensor in the transmission needs to be replaced and that is not covered by the recall and would cost over $2000. I also called Ford to report the incident Case # [XXX]. Ford stated this was normal wear and tear and they would not cover the repair.

On October 16, 2022 I was driving at a speed of 45mph. the 2013 F150 changed gears by itself. I maintained control and drove the vehicle home. i got on my computer and looked up the issue to see if others had experienced this and found out there is a recall. Never heard about it until then. I took to the dealership this morning 10/17 and they say they reprogrammed the pcm. Picked up the truck and driving out of the parking lot, the truck did the same thing, only worse. NOW they tell me the truck needs a transmission molded lead frame. BUT they don't have that in stock and it is backordered. They said i needed a transmission diagnostic. i refused that and told them there were no problems until the 16th and now since they supposedly fixed it the problem became worse. Then they said well there is one more thing but we have to hook it us to the computer and it had to show some codes before they could replace that part. it didn't show the codes. I had read about that and told them sometimes codes show and sometimes they don't. I told them to drive the truck and tell me it is fixed They drove it and it had the issue. Mechanic saw the wrench on the dash, tested and the code came up. then he said the truck needed the part. Dealer has the complete part in stock (the molded lead frame with another piece on it) they will charge $1100. I have no choice now but to get it replaced. I need the truck. they had the audacity to call me and tell me they needed to replace the transmission fluid filter, but it would be another $279. Since the didn't have the original part that is warrantied, they should have thrown in the filter. I called a mechanic friend of mine and he said decline the filter. they are just trying to get money out of you. This is really the first issue I have had with the vehicle. I hope this fixes the problem. Ford needs to do something more extensively about this problem before someone is killed.

On September 24, 2022 my 2013 Ford F-150 truck abruptly and without warning down shifted from a highway speed of approximately 50 miles per hour to first gear. I could barely operate the truck and had to cross traffic to get it safely to the side of the road where I turned it and restarted the engine. Something similar happened on August 14th while I was pulling a trailer with a horse in tow. The issue appears to be intermittent and I am unable to predict when it will occur. The truck was part of a previous recall # 19S07. I brought it in for the reprogramming in 2020. I took it into a Ford dealership on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 for a diagnostic and they are saying they can’t get the codes to show an issue. The dealership is sending the vehicle back to me with out repair. Operating the truck is a safety hazard for myself and others on the road way.

The vehicle is downshifting while driving. It is getting almost too unsafe to drive. Once this happens you can’t get it to get out of first gear so you can’t get out of traffic. The downshifting is scary in itself. I see that their is a recall and we have taken it in to reprogram the computer for the ecoboost, but now it is even worse.

While driving my F-150 at around 55-65 mph. The vehicle slowed down suddenly with a large wrench displaying on the instrument panel causing the truck to swerve not allowing me to accelerate causing me to nearly lose control also. I had to pull to the curve and I switch it off. After restarting it I could resume driving. I did a research of what it was doing and found out it was a Safety Recall 19S07 for Certain 2011 - 2013 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with A 6R80 Transmission 6R80 Sudden Transmission Downshift - Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming. I took it to the Ford Dealership in which they said they fixed the issue only to have the same issue to continue. I took it back and now they say that they can't fix it because it is pass the recall time limit of 150,000 miles and I need to get a transmission. It started out doing it once a day, but now it is doing it 3 times a day. I only had this vehicle for 2 years never receive a recall letter. I 196,000 miles on the vehicle.

There is a for CSP in place for a faulty molded lead frame for the transmission. While driving my vehicle will downshift to 1st gear randomly. One time it happened at 60mph and I almost crashed. I just called Ford to get it handled and they say there is no recall on this life threatening malfunction only an extended warranty in which I do not qualify because I have exceeded the mileage limit of 150,000 miles or 10 years from original warranty start. I am currently at 165,000 miles. Ford claims they sent a disclaimer I'm the mailer back in 2019 but I never received it or I would have had this issue addressed then because it had already happened a couple times by then. So now I'm waiting for a customer service supervisor to call me but they haven't yet....they are unwilling to help me and told me to call the Better Business Bureau if I don't like it.

While driving down highway at highway speeds, the truck shifted in to 1st gear by itself causing a near collision. I had to get to the side of the road quickly almost causing a fatal accident. I got it to a Ford dealer and the service department said the leadframe on the transmission had started to fail causing the transmission to change gears on its own and also shorted out the instrument control panel. I found out Ford knew about the problem with the defective parts but did not inform me. They also had a Customer Satisfaction recall for this problem up to 150,000 miles. My vehicle has 153,000 miles so Ford will not replace the defective part under the recall. With what I experienced with this part failure, I believe this should be a safety recall before someone gets killed, if they have not already done so. Cars, like appliances, should be designed to fail safely not fail in such a way as to endanger the occupants and other vehicles around them.

The wrench came on speedometer wasn't working acted like it wasn't shifting correctly turn signals wouldn't turn off after completing a turn and fuel mileage wasn't working looked in owners manuel found it says power train malfunction/reduced power contact authorized dealership as soon as possible

Driving down highway at 65 miles per hour the truck lurched forward and acted like it had a total loss of power. The speedometer dropped to 0 and stayed. The airbag light came on. The truck downshifted from 6 gear to 1 st gear instantly , throwing the truck into a slide. I lost control of it , went into a ditch came back up on the road as it proceeded to lurch forward and stop consistently like it was possessed ! I threw it into neutral and as the motor was redlining as well. The center info screen went blank and a wrench appeared on it to the right. I drove to my work in 3 rd gear and it shifted up to 5 th. But would not shift down up past that. I had it towed to the only dealer that worked on transmission recalls. I paid 65$ to have it towed. They did the reprogramming as per Ford. I got it back a month later. Worked great for 4 days then on my way to a tire rotation at 71 mph it did it again . Downshifted to 1 st. Violently. This time I almost got hit by a semi truck! Had it towed again , cost me 90$ this time. Same place. They got in a fix part for it some ring assembly that goes in transmission. Gonna cost me over 370$ for certain parts the recall won’t cover.

I was driving my truck in north Georgia while towing a trailer under 5000 lbs. The truck was in cruis control at 68 mph and the truck suddenly down shifted from 5th to 1st. I got the truck off the interstate at a reduced speed since it wouldn't shift up. When this happened an orange wrench light came on. When I stopped I turned the truck off and the light went away. We fueled up and got on the road. Shortly after the truck did the same thing with dropping to first gear and felt like it lost power steering. We pulled over and detached the trailer. I then got back on the road and after getting off the interstate and to slower roads the truck did the same thing. Every time the truck did this it reset the lights on the dash. The truck then sat for 5 days with out being driven. On my way home the check engine light came on. On Sunday June 12th the truck was dropped off at banner ford in Mandeville louisiana. The mechanic advised that while the truck acted like the lead frame recall issues they will not do anything unless I can prove the truck did this. The proof is they need to have a code show up. However, every time it did this the wrench light went away when the truck was restarted. I was told by Ford that when this happens I need to drive the truck straight to dealer without turning it off. Since the dealer said they couldn't do anything I called the 1 866 Ford number. The CAS # with Ford is attached to this. There has been poor communication with ford toe through this. The dealer told Ford that I picked the truck up earlier this week but in reality I picked it up today because the dealer called me yesterday. The ford apparently the dealer mechanic never communicated with Fords mechanic to resolve my issue and told them I got my truck sooner.

May 18, 2022; Vehicle has 140,650 miles. My truck drove fine all day until It seems the like the transmission failed, it just kicked out of gear. The check engine light came on, as did the air bag light. The truck had no power, no fuel control, and seemed no transmission control. The first time, I was able to coast to a safe area, stop, and put the truck into park. It would not shift back into gear to proceed. I shut the vehicle off, and in park. Restarted and proceeded to continue, then it drove fine for less than 1/2 mile, and the check engine light and air bag light both came on again. The same problem occurred as before, no power and no transmission. I was able to coast to safety again, and shut the truck off again. Placed into park and restarted. Put into gear, and drove to a parts store about 1 mile away, with no problems, but I could feel the transmission hesitating to change gears. The parts store was unable to get any malfunction codes from the truck. We were able to drive the truck home without any other problems yet, 13 miles.

The Output Speed Sensor has been failing multiple times since I had the recall remedied in September 2021. The codes p0720, p0721 and p0722 have been present, and it hadn’t been to much of an issue until it downshifted to first gear while going 60+ mph, causing me to temporarily lose control. Because of the downshift the engine redlined causing the 8th valve to fail. The dealership says I need a new engine and refuses to fix the transmission because my truck has a salvage title. They also claim that they can’t confirm that the transmission caused the engine to blow. They have since been giving me the run around. The salvage title was present when they did the remedy in September but now it is an issue and to my understanding they cannot refuse to fix a recall because of a salvage or branded title. This happened a month ago and they are still dragging their feet, leaving me with no vehicle and not a lot of options. I have read that fords first remedy was to reprogram the PCM, but the real cause is the OSS going bad and the real remedy is a replacement of the lead frame. I would like to know why they didn’t replace the lead frame the first time if it is proven to work. I feel as if I’m not the only one this has happened to.

Vehicle looses speedometer and downshifts unexpectedly at speed

My truck randomly downshifts while driving. I took my truck to fix a downshifting recall that should have taken care of this dangerous problem and it has yet to be resolved. I called corporate Ford and a local Ford dealer and was told I needed to pay $140 fee in order for my car to be checked considering the recall apparently was taken care of. In the system it shows it was taken care of but there is clearly a problem if the truck is doing exactly what the recall was supposed to prevent. This is our daily vehicle and it frightens my wife to drive it. This happens on a daily occasion.

Transmission shifts from 5th or 6th down to 1st gear. This has happened twice in the past month. This is extremely dangerous especially at highway speeds, which i was. When this issue happened my truck went from 70 mph to about 15 mph.

While driving at 45 to 50 mph, my vehicle suddenly downshifted to first gear, causing my rear drive wheels to momentarily lock up and skid and my engine to rev to approximately 6,000 RPM. To avoid a collision and engine damage, I was forced to shift my vehicle into neutral and coast to a stop on a heavily trafficked, four-lane highway. Thankfully, I was able to avoid a collision, I turned my ignition off and back on, and was able to carefully drive to a safe location. This known problem was supposed to have been fixed under a prior recall (19V075000), for which I had the service completed, but clearly Ford's fix did not correct the problem. I took my vehicle to a local dealership for repair, but, as service technicians were unable to replicate the issue and the incident left no trouble codes in the vehicle's computer, have refused to repair the problem. Prior to this incident, I had intermittently experienced an issue where the vehicle seemed to have been unable to ascertain vehicle speed, during which warning icons illuminated and both the speedometer and odometer malfunctioned, showing no readings. The dealership technicians likewise were unable to find a fault.

Orange wrench symbol showed up, transmission shifted from 6 to 1 all of a sudden. Nearly crash the truck trying to stop on highway. Loss of power as the truck went into limp mode. Turned vehicle off and restarted a few minutes later and everything erased and the vehicle drove fine again. Checked for recalls and a csp came up unfortunately my vehicle is over the extend millage coverage by Ford so now I'm afraid to drive it. Many post on forums claim there is no fix that's 100% in correcting the problem. So repairing it out of pocket may not resolve it anyway. Ford is fully aware of the problem but should be listed as a recall with no millage limit.

The lead frame made the truck go from 6th to 1st on the high way got it into the dealership and ford said eventhough we know it's our fault we are not fixing it for you. And it destroyed the transmission and it needs rebuild and have to pay outta pocket for factory issues

recently purchased this vehicle only to discover that it has a stretched timing chain(noise). Research shows that this has been an ongoing issue with Ford. I'd like to know if Ford has a plan in place to issue a recall notice to fix?

I know how to drive it is not cool to be in trouble for not being able to control a truck that malfunction

The vehicle automatically downshifted from drive to a lower gear -1st or 2nd- not sure which. This has happened 3 times in the past approx. 2 months. When this happens the RPM gauge goes to 3.5 to 4 and the speedometer stays on zero. The first two times this happened, I was able to stop the vehicle, put in park, turn the engine off, restart and proceed as if nothing happened. Yesterday, 2/22/2022 the same thing happened again and the vehicle stayed in the lower gear. I have taken the vehicle to a local shop which has Ford diagnostic software and they indicate that a module that sends signals to the transmission is faulty. We are waiting on a part from Ford in order to hopefully fix the problem. Is this a recall issue with Ford?

Uncontroled shifting issues that causes vehicle to chande gears from 6th to first gear without notice, almost causing accidents.....other eratic changes as well....2013 ford f150s are apparently know for this.....a piece called Molded Lead Frame is the cause.....they only replace when a certain code comes up.....they Ford service dept advise me not to drive it

Driving at highway speeds and the transmission try’s to go into a lower gear and starts locking the tires up then goes out of gear then back into gear as this is going on the speedometer goes up and down. It has happened several times. I took it to the dealer where I bought it from (pinnacle Ford Nicholasville ky) and they stated it was do to a bad coil pack or plug! Wrong! I may have a code for that do to the transmission shifting up and down so hard but the transmission is the main problem. They were no help and I will never buy from them again. Please make Ford fix this is very dangerous. I have new born child and this could cause a serious accident.

the truck downshifts into 4th gear and the speedometer and odometer stop working and the airbag light comes on when driving on the highway. I have to pull over and shut the truck off and restart it to reset it. also when starting from a stop sometimes it wont shift out of first gear.

My 2013 Ford F-150 suddenly downshifted when at highway speeds. The check engine warning came on and the speedometer suddenly stopped working. I could feel the transmission jumping gears. I was able to get the truck to a local auto parts store, where they ran a diagnostic P0720. I was able to put the truck in Manual and was able to drive the truck to the nearest Ford dealer. They told me they are not accepting any vehicles with transmission problems until 2022 due to parts and labor shortages. I was able to get the car to a local repair shop, but they were unable to repair it. That shop referred me to Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 16N02, which calls out the exact problem my truck is having.

The Molded Lead frame fails and the current recall of " reprogramming " the problem only solves it for a short, in my case, 3-hour window. The molded lead frame is faulty and causes the vehicle to immediately jump from 1st to 5th and back to 5th gear when driving and lock up tires. This is dangerous enough but even more dangerous in bad weather. It is beyond well documented that reprogramming doesn't actually fix this issue for any length of acceptable time. Drivers are being put back at risk, then having to spend thousands to replace the molded lead frame, which is what should be done, to begin with, not reprogram. Please, I am begging you before more lives are lost and innocent owners spend hundreds of thousands collectively trying to save their lives. Make Ford responsible for this and have the recall replace, NOT REPROGRAM....REPLACE! the Molded Lead frame in these 2011-2013 6r80 Transmissions.

Vehicle accelerated without driver pressing gas pedal and RPM gauge jumped up to 5 (which is red zone). Brake pedal went to the floor when brakes were applied instead of causing the vehicle to stop.

The week prior to this event occurring an upgrade to the computer software for unplanned transmission downshift, that was meant to prevent this from happening. The transmission has lost the speedometer and power on several occasions since the initial event. Which I have recorded and pictures. The component has been inspected by a manufacturer, and determine that the Lead Frame was the most probable cause. This event had never occurred prior to the software recall was performed. The service technician indicated that this was a known issue and that Ford had extended a warranty on the lead frame indicating it was a known problem. There was no indication of a problem until the even occur and it did not originally cause an OBDII code. Subsquent events did trip a P0720 Code being the output speed sensor fault.

Rpid downshift from 45mph to less than 10mph, resulting in the wheels to practically lock up, and lose control to the vehicle.

While driving, the vehicles (2013 Ford F150) transmission will shift to 5th gear and may remain there or downshift to 1st gear when the MPH reads zero (0). A wrench icon and airbag light is displayed on the dash/instrument panel. The MPH will display zero (0) which can result in a random downshift to first gear even while driving at highway speeds of 65MPH. Fuel economy and other mileage related numbers are displayed as dashes (-----). The vehicle also seems to enter a low power or "limp mode". This issue has occurred 3 times in the last 4 weeks (August 2021). The issue may go away if the vehicle is turned off and on. I have experienced this issue 3 times with my family in the vehicle. When this happened there was no safe place to pull over and restart the vehicle. My dealership states there are two recalls to address this issue. 19S07 (PCM Firmware update) and 19N01 (Leadframe replacement). My vehicle has ~160,000 miles on it. Ford is refusing to approve 19N01 as the extended warranty ends at 150,000 miles. This recall should be listed as a safety recall with no expiration as there is a safety concern of the transmission misbehaving.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the transmission remained stuck in 3rd gear. An unknown warning light was illuminated.

In November 2019 my truck had a recall from Ford (Recall #19S07) applied. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/RCMN-19V075-2645.pdf and also this recall https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10162411-0001.pdf On August 5th, 16th, 20th, 25th, 27th I have experienced the following condition: Hard unexpected down shift, in one incident while traveling in 6th gear at highway speed the transmission down shifted to 1 gear, locking up the rear wheels. (this also caused me to swerve off of the road) In addition the electronic dash board went dark and displaced a wrench. The error was corrected by cycling the power off and back on. I did contact Ford about this issue and they said the extend warranty from 19N01 was only to 150,000 miles and at the time of the call to Ford the milage on the truck was 151K.

I was driving at about 30-35mph and my truck shifted into 1st gear unexpectedly. I have started to notice it doesn’t shift quite like it supposed to.

I was driving on the freeway going 65mph when the transmission started switching gears it went from 6 gear to 1st gear in a matter of 1 second, luckily no one was behind me or else I would’ve got hit. I took it to ford to get recall unexpected Transmission downshift fixed, but it didn’t fix anything it actually got worse. Now the speed gauges stop working out of no where and it gets stuck in whatever gear I am driving in when this happens 2 codes turn on P0720 output shaft speed sensor and P0721output shaft speed range/performance. My truck had no issues before this recall. My life is in danger when I’m driving this truck I have called the dealership but I get the same answer every time that there’s nothing else they can do.

Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the EXACT same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle would not switch gears and remained in first gear.

Transmission began acting a little funny - hesitating, slowing down a little and seemingly re-engaging, before coming to a stop. When accelerating from stopped, crossing a 2-lane state route, orange wrench icon flashed on the driver display and launched in 3rd gear. Went into limp mode and made it home, ranging from 3rd gear to 5th gear for that duration. Occurred two other times, both after about 15-20 minutes of the truck running. Research of similar problem and error codes that were read point to a bad molded lead frame, but I am outside of Ford's "extended warranty" mileage, so I have not spent the money to have it diagnosed at a Ford location. No symptoms prior to the problem. Truck is parked since reading about 6th-to-1st gear downshifts on the highway.

From Ford's customer satisfaction web, shows no recalls, but shows 19N01 – Transmission Molded Leadframe Extended Coverage – 2011-2013 Ford F-150. Symptoms are speedometer will go to 0. Many reported cases the transmission will downshift from 6th gear into 3rd. My case was intermittent... I'd get speedometer 0mph loss of power general solution was to stop vehicle, stop engine restart. Depending on highway conditions this was at times only uncomfortable. My last event was awkward, it occurred multiple times within a less than 10 mile drive. Multiple stops/restarts the engine accelerated to 40-50mph while I did not have my foot on the accelerator. I decided to take to local transmission shop, where they were told by multiple suppliers he could not purchase the part because there was a service recall. I used the Ford Customer satisfaction web site, researched this, to find my truck exceeded the mileage for Ford to service this. So I was in a catch 22, Ford would not fix under recall, and would not sell the part to a service facility. I called the satisfaction line, explained the problem they transferred me to Ford corp, and told me to explain to executive for service. I listened to the voice mail identifying to leave a message and they would get back to me in 48 business hours. I called two times 7/2 - expecting a call back by 7/6, the again 7/7. I have received no call back. Initially my goal was simply to have them clear the way to purchase the molded leadframe or to sell this to the transmission shop so I could have my truck repaired. During this time I investigated other's that had this problem, with some very disturbing results. Truck violently decelerating by downshifting from 6th at highwayspeeds to 3rd. On occasion I haul my tractor, I was considering what happened if towing a trailer and a sudden downshift? What if the roads were wet? Clearly this is a safety issue, where Ford believes at over 150k miles they are much safer to drive.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission malfunctioned and erroneously down shifted causing the engine RPM’s to rev very high while the vehicle decelerated. During the failure, the hill descent and check engine light warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine was faulty. The contact indicated that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (Power Train) and the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,000.

This complaint is about a known issue with certain Ford Vehicles related to the transmission molded leadframe. On May 26, 2021, I was accelerating onto a highway when my transmission downshifted from 4th gear to 1st gear and my speedometer and tachometer failed. Thankfully I was able to pull over safely and when re-started, the speedometer and tachometer came back up and the vehicle was driveable again. The next night, I experienced the same thing only I was in a parking lot and was again able to safely pull my vehicle over. I was not able to get an appointment at my local dealer until June 10th at which point they confirmed it was the leadframe and subject to the extended warranty. My complaint is that Ford was allowed to take the easy way out and wait for a failure of the faulty leadframe as opposed to this being a recall with proactive replacement. In my instance, I was not traveling at a high rate of speed. However, I was planning on taking the truck on a road trip on May 29th where if that had happened I would not have been so lucky. This issue is dangerous and needs to be under a full recall, not an extended warranty.

On 5/24/21 I started to pull out onto a two lane, 55mph road with a trailer behind me. The truck stalled and I was stuck across both lanes and could have been hit broadside from either direction. I was told by our local Ford dealer that there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-15-0137) for the fuse holder for the fuel pump. I researched online and this is a very common problem. I had a similar issue occur in March of 2021 where my truck would not start in a driveway and the Ford dealer did not find the problem and it seemed to have fixed itself. The fuse holder is apparently not designed for the amount of current in the circuit. This is a very serious issue. I could have been seriously injured or killed that day. This problem does not lead to any warning lamps, messages, other symptoms or error codes.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F-150 ON 12-11-2020 GOING ABOUT 40 - 50 MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO GO INTO A TIRE SQUEALING SKID.

EARLIER THAT YEAR ON 6-25-2020 I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO DO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO ELIMINATE THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING IN THE 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE. FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED APPARENTLY THE FIX DID NOT WORK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED THAT THE FIX SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE UNLESS FORD FURTHER OPENS RECALLS AGAIN FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD ALL I COULD DO IS KEEP THE RECEIPTS FOR THE LABOR AND REPAIRS AND HOPE THAT MAYBE I CAN GET REIMBURSED IN THE FUTURE IF THE RECALL IS OPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH CAN ALSO BE LIFE-THREATENING FORD NEEDS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES PROPERLY INSTEAD OF GOING THE CHEAP ROUTE AND TRYING A SOFTWARE FIX WHICH ONLY MASKS THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. I AM CURRENTLY WITHOUT ANY WAY TO AND FROM WORK AT THIS TIME DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR MY PROBLEMS.

MY TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR IN NOV 2018. THE TRANSMISSION THEN WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT DUE TO THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BY FORD. SOON AFTER THE REPAIRS FORD RELEASED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE. I ASKED ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PRIOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD YES IT WOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RECALL. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR SKIP GEARS. I TOOK IT BACK IN. THEY SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR MAIN SEAL, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER LEAKED. THE ISSUES CONTINUED ON UNTIL ON FEBRUARY 27TH THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED TO 1ST GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH) NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND THROWING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I JUST CONTACTED FORD RECALL DEPARTMENT AND INQUIRED ABOUT FULL REIMBURSEMENT AND TO NOTIFY THEM THAT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME ANY $ AND IGNORED MY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING LIKE THAT AGAIN. I AM NOW SITTING WITH A SORE BACK, $4,000 REPAIR COST AND A TRUCK THAT MAY PUT MY LIFE AND ANY PASSENGERS LIFE IN DANGER WHILE IN THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING MY TRUCK IT DOWNSHIFTS TO LOW GIRL THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT OUT OF LOW GEAR IS PULL OVER STOP CUTTING ENGINE OFF AND STEAL SOME TIME AND DON'T COME OUT THEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE

WE OWN A FORD F-150 3.5 L ECOBOOST V-6 KING RANCH PICKUP TRUCK. TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 NEW. HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS AS THE VEHICLE HAS SO MANY CURRENT ISSUES. FROM DAY ONE OF PURCHASE AND WHILE STILL IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT, UPON START UP THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CLATTERING SOUND. SALES REP SAID IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING. PURCHASED VEHICLE, HAD PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY WITH DANGEROUS LAG IN ACCELERATION (WHICH WE STILL DO), AN AVERAGE OF 12 MPG IF WE WERE LUCKY AND VERY SERIOUS ENGINE MISFIRES WITH MAJOR DECREASE IN POWER ACCOMPANIED BY SPUTTERING WHOLE VEHICLE SHUDDERING WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WITH HARD ACCELERATION. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF IN THE FAST LANE, WHICH WE WERE. WE STARTED TO LIMP OVER SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER AND THE TRUCK REGAINED POWER. MANY MISFIRES LIKE THIS, ALL EXPLAINED TO THE FORD SERVICE TECH AND VERIFIED ON THE TRUCKS COMPUTER. SO MANY IN FACT IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS AT LESS THAN 57K MILES. WE JUST PICKED OUR TRUCK UP TODAY, FEB 18TH, 2020, AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR 12 DAYS, TO FIX THIS MISFIRE PROBLEM AGAIN AND NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES WITH THE FRONT HUBS STAYING LOCKED IN 4 WD WHILE IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE AND SWITCHING IN AND OUT, TIMING CHAIN REPLACED, AND THE ECOBOOST TURBO TUBES REPLACED AS THEY WERE CRACKED, IWE REPLACED, AND LEFT FRONT ACTUATOR. ALSO ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO IT HAD TRANSFER CASE MOTOR REPLACED AS WELL AS NUMEROUS SWITCHES, ALL WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY TO SEE IF THE LAG MISFIRE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. WHEN HE HIT THE GAS THERE WAS A SCREECHY SOUND FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, POWER SERIOUSLY DECREASED ONCE AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. I SENT AN EMAIL TO FORD AND AUFFENBERG FORD IN REF TO THESE CONTINUING PROBLEMS.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LESS THAN A WEEK AGO. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT FOR ABOUT 75 MILES. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET AT 45 MILES AN HOUR THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I KEPT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT IF A VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSELY IT IS POSSIBLE IF NOT LIKELY TO HAVE REAR ENDED ME. I CHECKED THE VIN AND IT STATES NO OPEN RECALLS. EVIDENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR ONE OF THE PAST RECALLS WHICH CLEARLY DESCRIBES THIS SAME EVENT AS AN ISSUE. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP GREY DANIELS FORD IN BRANDON MS WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FOR INSPECTION.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH MY 2013 F150 DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND LOCKED THE REAR TIRES CAUSE ME TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. THIS CAUSED MINOR BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES REAR BUMPER, FROM HITTING SOMETHING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BEGINNING OF FEBUARY 2020. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY COULD GET ME INTO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 20 DAYS AT MINIMUM AND EVEN THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT LONGER TO FIX IT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. I EXPLAINED THAT I ALMOST ROLLED THE VEHICLE AFTER SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL AND ASKED IF THEY COULD GET IT IN SOONER, THE ANSWER WAS CONTINUOUSLY NO FROM ALL OF THE DEALERS. I ASKED THEM IF I SHOULD STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM TO DO SO, I THEN STATED SO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THIS HAPPENED AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY MYSELF AND OR SOMEONE ELSE OR PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLES POWERTRAIN. THEY STILL SAID THAT IT SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WELL IT LOCKED UP AGAIN CAUSING ANOTHER SPIN OUT AND I ALMOST HIT A SCHOOL BUS. HOW IS THIS LEGAL? I EVEN CALLED FORD EXTENDED CARE FOR HELP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A RECALL AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PREMIUM CARE IT ONLY COVERS A 10 DAY RENTAL FOR THINGS OTHER THEN A RECALL AND TO CALL THE DEALERS BACK FOR FURTHER DETAILS. SO I CALLED THE DEALERS BACK AND THE DEALERS TOLD ME THERE RENTALS ARE ALL BOOK FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. A VEHICLE THAT ALMOST KILLED ME AND OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THIS MECHANICAL FLAW SHOULDN'T BE LEGAL TO SELL. AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO WORK AND GET MY KIDS AROUND FOR THE NEXT MONTH, WHEN FORD WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP. HOW IS IT THAT THEY WOULD LET ME AND OTHERS DRIVE THESE VEHICLE AND IT NOT BE MANDATED THEY BE PICKED UP FROM PEOPLES HOMES AND FIXED. THIS IS CRIMINAL OF FORD AND IT WAS A GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.

ON 10 AUG 2019 I TOOK MY FORD IN FOR TRANSMISSION RECALL, REPROGRAMMING TO PREVENT UNCONTROLLED DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD NEVER HAD HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING PRIOR TO THIS DATE. ONCE RECALL WAS DONE WITHIN A WEEK MY TRUCK DRASTICALLY DOWNSHIFTED TWICE BEFORE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AND TOLD ME MY WHEELS LOCKING WAS NOT A SIGN OF DOWNSHIFTING. NOW I CONTINUE TO HAVE DOWNSHIFTING ISSUES AND ALSO AM THROWING A P0720 CODE. I JUST KNOW THAT THE DOWNSHIFTING BROKE THE LEADFRAME AND I LOOKING AT A HUGE BILL. NOW VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHERE I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR TO GET SPEEDOMETER TO SHOW.

FORD IS NOT COMING OUT WITH NEW SOFTWARE FOR THIS RECALL. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETED IN 2019

MY VEHICLE WAS DOWN SHIFTING WHEN I WAS IN 5 AND 6 GEAR. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHICH TOOK 3 MONTHS). THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FOUND A RECALL NOTICE. THEY TRY TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH REPROGRAMING. HOWEVER, IT NEVER CORRECTED THE ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT FORD HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I NOW AVOID GOING OVER ANY BIG HILLS, BRIDGES AND HIGHWAYS TO PREVENT MY VEHICLE FROM DOWNSHIFTING. IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS MY VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN RECORDING THE CORRECT MILEAGE AND NOW I HAVE HIGHER MILES THEN I SHOULD. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE A LITTLE MORE THEN A YEAR AGO AND NEARLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. I ONLY DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK A TOTAL OF 12 MILES A DAY FOR 5 DAYS. THIS ERROR IN PROGRAMING I FEEL HAS CAUSE OTHER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE BESIDES THE DOWNSHIFTING AND ADDING EXTRA MILES. IF FORD COULD HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM IN TIMELY MANNER IT COULD HAVE SAVE THE TRUCK, BUT DUE THE DEALERSHIPS HAVING NO CLUE HOW TO FIX IT. MY TRUCK IS NICE PAPER WEIGHT.

THE END OF LAST MAY, PULLING OUR CAMPER UP THE RATON PASS, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND A FOGGY SLEET STORM THE MIL ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE DIED AND WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OUR WAY BACK TO THE SHOULDER, AFTER JUST HAVING MERGED INTO THE LEFT LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND IT DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES ALONG THE WAY SO WE TOOK IT TO XIT FORD IN DALHART TX. THE TECH THERE FOUND A BUNCH OF CODES STORED IN THE PCM, CLEARED THEM AND SENT US ON OUR WAY AND THE DRIVE BACK TO DALLAS WAS UNEVENTFUL. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE WIFE WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DIED ON HER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SO I TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD, SINCE THEY HAD DONE A PCM RECALL RE-FLASH (19V-075) ON IT PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR OUR TRIP. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN EVEN NEWER RE-FLASH AND THE PREFORMED THAT AND IT SEEMED TO SETTLE DOWN. WITH THE RECENT COLD SNAP WE HAVE HAD, THE TRUCK HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT A "A CRANK NO-START" SYMPTOM AND WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS "TSB 15-0137" WHICH FITS ALL OF OUR SYMPTOMS TO A TEE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... HAVING YOUR TRUCK DIE ON YOU, WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, UP AN ALMOST 8000 FOOT PASS, IN A STORM... IT IS A WONDER WE WERE NOT KILLED! THE TSB WAS PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 AND COVERS F150 MODEL YEARS 2009 - 2014. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND THE CURE WITHOUT THEM. THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FUSE NOT HAVING CONTACTS LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE CURRENT REQUIRED, GETTING HOT AND MELTING IN THE FUSE BOX. THE REMEDY LISTED IN THE TSB IS A NEW FUSE WITH CONTACTS AT LEAST 10 TIMES LARGER. WHEN I CHECKED OUR TRUCK FUSE 27 WAS INDEED MELTED AND I ORDERED EL3Z-14293-A AS SPECIFIED IN THE TSB. I AM ALSO SURPRISED THAT NEITHER DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE TSB.

SUDDENLY THE RPM NEEDLE BEGAN TO GO ALL OVER THE DIAL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I DECIDED TO HEAD BACK TO TOWN SINCE THE TRUCK FELT STRANGE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV TO MAX RPMS. THIS RESULTED IN A SUDDEN JOLT OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND RAPID DECELERATION. VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES TO NARROWLY AVOID REAR ENDING ME BECAUSE THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN SO SUDDENLY AND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS AS A WARNING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE LAST 2 DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ACTED ERRATICALLY BY GOING UP AND DOWN FROM 0 TO HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60MPH WHILE I WAS TRAVELING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY INTO A GEAR THAT WOULD MATCH THE SPEED OF WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATES EVEN THOUGH THE TRUE SPEED IS 60MPH. THESE SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTS SEEM TO HAVE DAMAGED MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE TRUCK NOW HAS ISSUES GOING INTO GEAR FROM A STOP AND WILL REV TO OVER 4000 RPM WITHOUT SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR TO START MOVING.

WHEN PULLING OFF OF A RESIDENTIAL STREET ONTO A CITY STREET THE EVENING OF OCT 1, 2019 (SPEED LIMIT 45 MPH) MY TRUCK GOT STUCK IN 1ST GEAR. WITH TRAFFIC AROUND ME, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO 3RD 2ND AND 1ST, BUT NO CHANGE. I WENT BACK TO DRIVE AND STILL NO CHANGE. THEN A WRENCH SHOWED UP NEXT TO THE ODOMETER AND THE ODOMETER WENT TO - - - - - AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, RPM STILL WORKED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF TRUCK AND RESTARTED AND ALL WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE, BUT WHEN I SHIFTED TO 3RD, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION RELATED REPROGRAM RECALL COMPLETED ON 23 SEPT. BOTH SHIFTING EVENTS OCCURRED AFTER THE REPROGRAM. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IF IT HAPPENS AT A BUSY TIME. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME BOTH TIMES. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNING ON CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BOTH TIMES. IT COULD BE COINCIDENTAL THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AFTER THE REPROGRAM, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE DESCRIPTIONS FROM SOME PEOPLE REGARDING THE LEAD FRAME ISSUE REPORTED ON THE 2012 MODEL.

FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE LEADFRAME ISSUE ON THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THEIR FIX, BESIDES EXTENDING THE WARRANTY, IS TO MODIFY THE SOFTWARE. HOWEVER, THEY'VE NOW DELAYED THAT FIX UNTIL AN EXPECTED OCTOBER DATE FOR MY 2013 F-150. THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE LEADFRAME NOW.

THE DEALERSHIP'S FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS THE RECALL WAS TWO WEEKS OUT. AFTER TRYING TO GET AN EARLIER APPOINTMENT AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD SHIFTED GEARS WHILE WE WERE TOWING A TRAILER DOWN A HILL ALMOST CAUSING US TO CRASH. THE RECEPTIONIST THEN TOLD US THAT THEY ACTUALLY CANT MAKE THE CORRECTION AND THAT WE WOULD BE RECEIVING A LETTER IN THE MAIL AND REFUSED TO TAKE OUR VEHICLE IN.

WHILE DRIVING ON 6/2/2019 AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR I SUDDENLY FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HIT IN THE REAR END BY A TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING ALSO CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE U-JOINT ON THE TRUCK. WHEN TAKING IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP THERE WAS ALSO METAL FOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION PAN NOW RESULTING IN A NEED TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE $4000+. IN LOOKING UP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS I FOUND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. 'FORD RECALL NUMBER: 19S07 'RECALL DESCRIPTION: ON YOUR VEHICLE, AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) IN THE TRANSMISSION MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. 'RISK TO SAFETY: AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR CAN CAUSE AN ABRUPT WHEEL SPEED REDUCTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

SEEMS TO ME THAT ONCE FORD MOTOR CO DECIDES TO AFFECT THE SAFETY RECALL, THEY SHOULD ALSO CHECK OUT THIS NEW PROBLEM AS WELL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. FORD KNOWS THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE, SO INSTEAD OF OFFERING TO EXTEND WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES OR UNTIL NOV 30, 2019. THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY INFORM DEALERSHIPS TO INSPECT AND PERFORM CORRECTIVE MEASURES TO MAINTAIN THEIR "QUALITY ONE" MATRIX AS THEY PROFESS.

TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND SPEEDOMETER WORKED AGAIN. CALL LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND DROVE CAR TO SHOP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS THEY'RE TELLING ME NOTHING THEY DID ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. YET I NEVER HAD IT HAPPEN BEFORE AND THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS THAT REPLACED MORE THAN JUST SOFTWARE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CLAIMS OF ONLY CAUSING 5 ACCIDENTS WITH NO INJURIES. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE CAUSE OF 1000S OF ACCIDENTS AND ALSO DEATHS. BUT PEOPLE PROBABLY ARE NOT REALIZING WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHEN A ACCIDENT ACURRS. AFTER RESEARCH IT LOOKS 5O BE POSSIBLE LEAD FRAME OR SPEED SENSOR.

AND NOW IT'S NOT WANTING TO COME BACK DOWN AFTER SHIFTING BACK UP FROM 1ST. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. CAN'T SELL IN GOOD CONSCIOUS TO SOMEONE, SO IT SITS. BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, JUST BAD TRANNY. OH, AND ALSO, THE TRUCK THINKS THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN AND IT'S NOT, WHICH KEEPS US FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCK IT AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR A BIT AFTER SHUTTING OFF (USING THE BATTERY). NOT SURE IF THIS HAS A RECALL OR NOT.

I RECIEVED A RECALL LETTER FOR RECALL NUMBER 19S07 FROM FORD IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK MY TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. 2013 FORD F-50 XLT WITH 3.5 ENGINE

TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR MODEL YEAR 2011-2013 FORD F-150. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 F150 WOULD DOWN SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY ALMOST STOPPING ABRUPTLY. IT HAPPENED TWICE BUT AFTERWARDS, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT WOULD UP SHIFT WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE BASICALLY STALLED IN THE STREET. TWICE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH, LEAVING ME ONLY ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT WALDORF FORD AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW SPEED SENSOR LOCATED ON THE LEAD FRAME OF THE TRANS. I HAD THE WORK COMPLETED BUT LATER REALIZED THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED BUT WAS NOT INFORMED WHY. IT'S WITH IN THE MODEL YEAR RANGE, DIAGNOSED BY FORD WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND SYMPTOMS BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON NOT INCLUDED. I'VE CONTACTED FORD ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS.

FROM RESEARCH CONDUCTED FROM THE PROBLEM ONSET, INTERNET FORUMS LED ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THE PLASTIC MOLDED LEAD FRAME MODULE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION.

THEY WERE AWARE OF THE OPEN RECALL BUT COULD NOT REPAIR IT UNTIL APPROVED BY THE FORD COMPANY. I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY ON MAR 8, 2019. THEY WILL NOT HAVE THE SOFTWARE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF THIS YEAR TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME IF I PAY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I FEEL THIS DECISION IS UNPROFESSIONAL OF THE FORD COMPANY AND A TOTAL INCONVENIENCE FOR ME TO BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION WITH NO INDICATION OR TIMEFRAME OF WHEN I CAN GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. AT THIS RATE MY VEHICLE WILL BE INOPERATIVE FOR NO LESS THAN 2 - 3 MONTHS WHICH I FEEL IS NO FAULT OF MINE BUT A LACK OF EXPEDIENCY ON BEHALF OF THE FORD COMPANY.

FORD RECALL 19S07 UNDER THIS PROGRAM, IT IS ONLY A SOFTWARE FIX TO PROGRAM THE VEHICLE TO IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE. THE SOFTWARE PATCH PROGRAMS THE COMPUTER TO IGNORE ERRORS IN THE OSS SENSOR. THIS COULD MASK TRUE PROBLEMS WITH THE OSS AND THUS THE TRANSMISSION AS A WHOLE. FURTHER, IT COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, OR BOTH. OUR VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THIS RECALL ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 10, 2019. AS MY WIFE WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, IT SHUTTERED AND DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED BACK UP NORMALLY.

I CONTACTED FORD'S CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS ADVISED THE SAME THING BUT THAT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE IN THE INTERIM UNTIL THE FIX WAS ISSUED. ON OR ABOUT MARCH 5, 2019, I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WITH ANDY MOHR FORD AGAIN AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SOFTWARE PATCH WOULD NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE ISSUE OF THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. FURTHER, IT WAS STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. FURTHER, THAT THIS FIX WOULD SIMPLY MASK THE ISSUE THAT WAS POTENTIALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR FOR THE ACTUAL DEFECT.

WIDELY REPORTED- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! VERY SIMILAR TO EXISTING RECALL*, BUT NOT THE SAME. POTENTIALLY DEADLY. CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT ADDRESS THE SUDDEN UP-SHIFTS MENTIONED HERE. 2013 FORD F-150 MFG DEFECT: MOLDED LEADFRAME ASSY IN 6R80 TRANSMISSION SYMPTOMS: INTERMITTENT LOSS OF SPEED SIGNAL CAUSES SUDDEN/UNEXPECTED SLAMMING UPSHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CAUSING A COMPLETE AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ALL ACCELERATION. INDICATIONS: 5TH GEAR SUDDENLY INDICATED ON DISPLAY, DASHES REPLACE NUMBERS ON SPEED/MILEAGE RELATED DISPLAYS (MPG, ODOMETER). SPEEDOMETER MAY READ 0, AIRBAG SYMBOL POPS ON, LARGE ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL MAY BRIEFLY APPEAR. PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR DOES NOT CAUSE DOWNSHIFT. MOTOR MAY STALL. REMAINS IN 5TH GEAR WITHOUT SOME OTHER CORRECTIVE ACTION. TURNING ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON WILL RESET THE COMPUTER, AND VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY UNTIL NEXT OCCURRENCE. DANGERS: THIS COULD BE FATAL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BOTH FROM THE SIDE (PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM SIDE STREET) OR FROM REAR (SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF SPEED/ NO BRAKE LIGHTS). FORD CANNOT FIX THIS BY RE-PROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE TO IGNORE THE FAULTY SENSOR ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN IGNORE AN ONCOMING CEMENT TRUCK OR TRAIN. REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $800. IF NOT RECALLED, OWNERS MAY TRY TO LIVE WITH THE RISKS OR TRADE TO AN UNKNOWING PERSON, ENDANGERING LIVES OF OTHERS. *THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS ALSO THE ROOT CAUSE OF FORD RECALL #19S07, INVOLVING SUDDEN VIOLENT DOWN-SHIFTS (NOT UPSHIFTS). FORD IS AVOIDING THE PROBLEM BY RE-PROGRAMMING THE ECU TO IGNORE THE INTERMITTENT SPEED SIGNALS, ALLOWING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL MORE GRACEFULLY, DEFECTS TO BE REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS APPROACH WILL NOT WORK FOR THE UP-SHIFT PROBLEM. THE DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED AT FORD'S EXPENSE TO CORRECT BOTH PROBLEMS.

SO I DID, I LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR TWO DAYS ON THE SECOND DAY THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE FORD HASN'T DEVELOPED THE SOFTWARE TO FIX IT AND IT WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE YEAR. I ASKED THEM IF I WAS GOING TO GET A RENTAL UNTIL IT CAN BE FIXED DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. I DRIVE MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE DAILY. THEY TOLD ME NO AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO CALL FORD. SO I CALLED FORD AND AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND SPEAK TO A MANAGER IN THEIR CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT I FINALLY GET A CALL FROM LENNY THE MANAGER WHO PROCESSED TO TELL ME THAT 'SAFETY IS NOT A JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR THEM TO ISSUE ME A RENTAL' SO I ASKED HIM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MYSELF OR MY CHILDREN GET HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE RECALL BEING THAT MY TRUCK CAN SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AS I'M GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HE DID NOT HAVE ANY ANSWER FOR THAT AND TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO. SO I THEN ASKED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOVE HIM. HE SAID THERE WASN'T ANYONE ABOVE HIM. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS TRUCK ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT IF IT CAN DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AT ANYTIME. THAT CAN CAUSE A BIG PROBLEM AND HURT OR KILL ANYONE IN MY TRUCK AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S PUTTING MOTORISTS AT POSSIBLE RISK EVERY TIME ONE OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET.

BAD MOLDED LEAD FRAME. ORDERED PARTS,DEALERSHIP OPENED UP PAN AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS. DID NOT INSTALL PARTS BECAUSE THEY SAID TRANNY WAS NO GOOD. FORD DOES NOT WANT TO FIX DAMAGED TRANNY ALTHOUGH VEHICLE NOW HAS RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. CONTACTED BOTH CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIP AND PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD FIX ISSUE. I BEEN LIED TOO, MADE BELIEVED THAT ISSUE WAS GOING TO BE FIXED. ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH OF BACK AND FORTH CHIRPING WITH BOTH CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIP AND IM TIRED OF THIS SICK GAME OF MAKING CUSTOMERS BELIEVE THEY WILL FIX THE ISSUE AND TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND AND SAY NO.

TOOK VEHICLE OUT OF GARAGE AFTER WARM UP AND WHILE ACCELERATING TO 55 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED DOWN INTO A MUCH LOWER GEAR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND WENT OUT TO SEE IF I HAD A SMOKING BRAKE. NOTHING LOOKED WRONG SO I GOT BACK IN AND STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL THE SHIFTED INTO A HIGHER GEAR THEN INTO A LOWER GEAR. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL THEN TRIED DRIVE AGAIN. THE ERRATIC SHIFTING CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 5 MILES THEN SEEMED TO WORK CORRECTLY. THE NEXT DAY I ATTEMPTED TO BRING IT TO WORK TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED EXCEPT THE VEHICLE THEN DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. I STOPPED SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WITH THE ERRATIC SHIFTING INTO LOWER GEARS FOR 30 MILES. I HAVE THE PAPERWORK FROM THE FORD DEALER SHOWING ME IT WAS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME FAILED AND A CONNECTOR #AL3Z-7G276-D, CONNECTOR# 6L2Z-7G276-AA. TOTAL COST $1292.94

TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE ISSUE, DUE TO THE ENGINEERS HAD NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATION DATE OF JUNE OF WHEN FORD WOULD HAVE A SYSTEM UPGRADE. MEANWHILE, I STUCK WITH A TRUCK PAYMENT FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE.

THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE CITY AT LOWER SPEEDS 40 MPH OR LESS. TRUCK WILL TYPICALLY GET BACK IN SINK AND DRIVE NORMAL. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS THE SCARIEST. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH IN 6 GEAR. AND THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR!!!! LOCKING THE REAR WHEELS UP IN TRAFFIC AT THIS SPEED IS DANGEROUS AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. SINCE THIS ISSUE I AVOID INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY TRAVEL AS THE DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TRUCK NOR CAN THEY FIX IT IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. I DON'T LET FAMILY OR FRIENDS RIDE IN THE TRUCK IF I HAVE TO DRIVE IT OR LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT . I HAVE A TRUCK THAT'S A DEATH TRAP AND IS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I KEEP TRACK OF WHEN IT HAPPENS AT WHAT SPEEDS AND DATES ALSO . FORD NEEDS TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS AS I HEAR IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM!

ERRATIC SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING. WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 1ST RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE IN PARKING LOT WOULD START TRANSMISSION IN 5TH AND NOT MOVE. SUSPECT IT IS THE LEAD MOLDING FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL LEAD MOLD FRAMES FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 F150S BUT IT IS CLEAR IT IS STILL PLAGUING THE 2013 AND 2014S.

Mileage: 96,000

HAVE TAKEN OUR TRUCK TWICE TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT FROM (CHEVY DEALER) FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT WILL RANDOMLY SLIP INTO NEUTRAL, AND WHEN I SAY RANDOMLY I MEAN WHILE GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OR FROM DRIVING AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. WE PRESS THE GAS AND GET NOWHERE. SOMETIMES, WE SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL, THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT IT MOSTLY HAPPENS AS WE ARE DRIVING, WHICH CAUSES OUR SPEED TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY. IT TAKES AROUND 20-30SECONDS FOR IT TO RIGHT ITSELF. WE BOUGHT OUR TRUCK IN JUNE 2018 AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 3WKS LATER WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. NOW IT HAPPENS REGULARLY/DAILY. WE WERE HOPING IT WAS JUST A TRANSMISSION FLUID PROBLEM, SINCE THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP (JAN.9, 2019), THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE, HOWEVER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.

A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD F150 ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH JANUARY 31,2018. IT HAPPENED TWICE THAT DAY, AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY SAID I SHOULDN'T DRIVE IT UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THEY STILL HAVE IT AS OF TODAY, 2/7/2018. MY DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED EXACTLY MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION IN YOUR DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED 12/25/2017(?). THE DESCRIPTION READS: "...AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPING UNEXPECTEDLY INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING."."THE UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT CAN ALSO LOCK UP THE REAR TIRES, OR CAUSE THEM TO SKID." ALL OF THIS HAPPENED INCLUDING THE REAR WHEELS LOCKING UP, CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS CONDITION IN 2011 AND 2012 F-150S RESULTED IN A RECALL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RECALL OF 2013 F-150S BASED ON MORE RECENT COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING EVENT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.

THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN TO FIRST MANUALLY, YOU MUST TAKE OF IN 3RD GEAR WITHOUT ANY POWER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2011-2012 FORD F150'S. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS ALL WITH YEARS RANGING FROM 2011-2017. O FEEL THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITB YOUR VEHICLE GOING FROM 70MPH DOWN TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND SWERVE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD WILL RECOGNIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY YEARS OF THE MODEL!!!!! I'M HAPPY MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CAR POOL KIDS EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE DOING THIS KNOWING THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM PAST YEARS. PLEASE MAKE THESE TRUCKS SAFE!!! I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK, AND THE COMPUTER SHOWED 0 CODES FOUND.

***ONGOING LEAD FRAME ISSUE, REFLASHING YOUR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK*** YESTERDAY, (2/2/2019) , MY 2013 F150 WITH 6R80 TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR @ APPROX. 45MPH. THIS TIME THE GUY BEHIND ME HAD TO JUMP A CURB TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME, ALMOST HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO FORD 2 MONTHS AGO WITH SAME ISSUE, THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND NO CODE, TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN IT'S "ACTUALLY BROKEN". TOOK TO INDEPENDENT SHOP, THEY PERFORMED THE REFLASH PER FORD'S 16V-248 RECALL BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. AFTER FLASH, SHIFTING WAS MARKEDLY HARSH FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. DURING THIS INCIDENT, I GOT A LARGE ORANGE WRENCH WARNING THAT WENT AWAY BEFORE I COULD PHOTO. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR WHILE PARKED, GAUGES ARE BLANKED OUT, AND AIRBAG SYMBOL IS ON. WAS ABLE TO GET PHOTOS OF THESE THIS TIME. TURNED VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROX 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED, CONDITION WAS CLEARED WITH NO RESIDUAL WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT, BUT I'M TAKING BACK TO INDEPENDANT SHOP TO HAVE LEAD FRAME REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS A TIMEBOMB THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED, WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HOLD UP IS ON AN EXTENDED RECALL.

TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SPEED SENSOR JUMPS AROUND AND TRUCK STARTS JERKING BACK AND FORTH. NO LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH TO SAY ANYTHING IS WRONG. IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. ONCE IT DID IT WHILE NOT MOVING IT JUMPED INTO FOG GEAR AND WOULDN'T SHIFT

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND MPH WILL DROP TO 0 AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE DASH WILL DISPLAY A WRENCH AND THE CLUSTER WILL GO BLANK WITH ALL DASHES. UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON THE DASH WILL CLEAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE ISSUE RETURNS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH LUCKILY NO ONE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME OR I WOULD HAVE FOR SURE BEEN REAR ENDED. I DID A CODE SCAN AND RECIEVE CODE 0722 WHICH IS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I COME TO FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 VEHICLES BUT THE 2013 IS NOT INCLUDED. THROUGH ONLINE FORUMS AND JUST COMMON RESEARCH THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED VEHICLES ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2014 AND STILL NO RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD WANTS $895 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. IT IS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS CONCERN THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR A DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN AND SPECIFICALLY SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER WHEELS LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR FAILURE CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO GET STUCK IN GEAR. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SHIFT DOWN IN GEAR AS YOU ARE ACCELERATING CAUSING A STALLING EFFECT TO THE TRUCK. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO MY YOUNG SON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT FULL SPEED. SPEEDOMOTER WILL ALSO GO COMPLETELY DEAD. USUALLY PULLING OVER CUTTING OFF THE TRUCK, WAITING AND RESTARTING WILL TAKE IT OUT OF THE 5TH OR 1ST GEAR IT IS STUCK IN. SOMETIMES THIS TAKES SEVERAL TRIES. VERY UNSAFE ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROAD! HAD 2 TRANSMISSION SHOPS RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND IT IS THE FAULTY SPEED SENSOR REQUIRING ENTIRE LEAD FRAME TO BE REPLACED. BOTH SHOPS TOLD ME TO REACH OUT TO FORD BEFORE I PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WITH THEM. SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS FORD TRUCK MODELS '11 AND '12 THAT FORD HAS RECALLED BUT FORD WILL TAKE NO LIABILITY FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. CALLED 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT BOTH PLAYED DUMB TO THE WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. CALLED FORD ITSELF AND SPOKE TO A CSR I PRESUME IN ANOTHER COUNTRY FROM THE BROKEN ENGLISH THAT SAID ONLY THERE IS NO RECALL...ABSOLUTELY NO HELP OR INFORMATION FROM FORD.

THE FRIGHTENING ISSUE I EXPERIENCED ON JANUARY 7, 2019 IS IDENTICAL TO THE REPORTS I HAVE SINCE READ REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND THE FREQUENT ISSUES THAT LED TO THE RECALL FOR 2010-2012 FORD F-150'S FOR UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS [NHTSA RECALL NO. / MFR RECALL NO. : 16V-248 / 16S19]. WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY AND RAPIDLY FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 40 AND 70, THEN TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DROPPED FROM 6TH/5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. AS A RESULT, MY WHEELS LOCKED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID INTO THE LANE TO MY RIGHT, FORCING OTHER CARS TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY TO AVOID A HIGH SPEED COLLISION. IT HAPPENED SO FAST, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. ONCE STOPPED (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE), I DROVE TO THE MEDIAN, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT SLOWLY TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP (NOT ON THE HIGHWAY). AFTER INSPECTING MY TRUCK, THE FORD DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE ISSUE AND STATED THE FOLLOWING (WRITTEN REPORT ATTACHED): RAN KOEC GOT CODE P0720 OSS SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT, RAN PINPOINT TESTS, FOUND OPEN IN OSS SENSOR WHICH IS PART OF THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME ATTACHED TO THE VALVE BODY, REMOVED THE VALVE BODY, DISSASEMBLED, CLEANED AND INSPECTED THE VALUE BODY, ALL VALVES AND BORES ARE OK, REASSEMBLED VALVE BODY WITH NEW MOLDED LEAD FRAME ASSEMBLY AND NEW REVISED SEPARATOR PLATE GASKET, INSTALLED NEW CLUTCH FEED TUBE SEALS AND SEAL BETWEEN VALVE BODY AND FLUID PUMP, INSTALLED NEW FLUID FILTER AND PAN GASKET, FILLED TRANSMISSION WITH NEW FLUID REPROGRAMMED PCM AND CLEARED DTCS, VERIFIED REPAIRS. DESPITE PARALLELS TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL ISSUE, FORD INFORMED ME IT IS NOT COVERED (THERE IS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT) AND THE TOTAL COST TO ME WAS $1,418.83.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EIDE FORD LINCOLN (800 E BISMARCK EXPY, BISMARCK, ND 58504, 701-222-3500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAD FRAME FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,190.

Mileage: 82,190

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

Mileage: 83,425

TRANMISSION WILL START SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 5TH GEAR WHILE DRIVE AT ANY SPEED CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOCK UP AND CHIRP. OTHER TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING 60MPH+ THE SPEEDO NEEDLE WILL GO TO 0MPH AND TRANSMISSION IS UNRESPONSIVE. IN ALL CASES THE VEHICLE MUST BE PULLED OVER, TUNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT HE ISSUE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THERE IS NO SAFE AREA TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE FOR A FEW MONTHS. SUSPECTED LEAD FRAME FAILURE.

Mileage: 70,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR. IN THE WINTER WITH SNOW/ICE ON THE ROAD THIS CAUSES THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK-UP . I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE TO RUN INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE OR LOOSE CONTROL. THE TRUCK WAS ASSEMBLED IN SEPT OF 2012. THE ENGINE IS A 3.7 LITER W/ 6 SPEED AUTO. 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IN JUNE OF 2018 (6/22/2018) I BROUGHT THIS TRUCK TO COPPER COUNTRY FORD, HOUGHTON MI. AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT "REFLASH" UPDATE THE TCM ( TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE)

Mileage: 75,000

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE IN REVERSE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AS IF I HAD BACKED INTO AN OBJECT PARKING LOT. TWO TIMES WHILE DRIVING APRROXIMATELY 45 TO 50 MPH MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY INCREASED RPMS, AGAIN IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. MOST RECENT VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT. MANUAL SHIFT OPTION WORKED. RESTARTED MOTOR 4 TIMES HOPING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. VEHICLE NEVER SHIFTED OUT OF 5TH. AS TRAVELING, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, ODOMETER DISPLAY WENT TO DASHES, TRACTION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, DISPLAY FOR GEARS WAS EITHER 5TH OR 3RD DEPENDING ON SPEED. AT ABOUT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE PERFORMED A HARD JERK, HIGH RPMS, ALMOST BRINGING ME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. AGAIN AS IF SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. FINALLY LIMPED HOME. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY 5 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED 10-23-2018. CONTACTED FORD DEALER NOT IN RECALL AND WARRANTY OUT SO IT'S MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS SO DISHEARTENING TO KNOW IT'S A FACTORY DEFAULT YET FORD WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIRS.

Mileage: 69,888

ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE WITH THE LEAD FRAME, SIMILAR TO THOSE DESCRIBED WITH THE 2011-2012 RECALL. I HAD RANDOM ISSUES WHERE IT WOULD SLIP FROM 2ND TO 5TH STARTING FROM A STOP. THEN I HAD IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT FROM 4TH TO 1ST WHEN GOING ABOUT 50MPH, ENOUGH TO CHIRP THE TIRES.

Mileage: 127,000

MY 2013 F-150 IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS THAT ARE COVERED UNDER A FORD RECALL FOR 2011 THRU 2012 F150S 16N02 MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR ALL BY ITSELF, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RESULTING IN REAR WHEEL SKIDDING AND TRANSMISSION LOCK-UP.

Mileage: 142,000

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY TRUCK STARTED NOT WANTING TO SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR. IT WENT FROM SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE PRETTY MUCH ALL POWER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A WRECK IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE MOST WORRISOME PROBLEM WAS THAT IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH, CAUSING THE BACK TIRES TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF ALL POWER. IT HAPPENED A FINAL TIMEWHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. IT WENT FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST CAUSING MY TIRES TO LOCK AGAIN AND ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO WRECK INTO ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, BUT I HAD LOST ALL POWER AND THE RPMS ON THE ENGINE WENT EXTREMELY HIGH. AS SOON AS I COULD I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS ISSUE IS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS WRECK AT THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING AT, NOT TO MENTION IF IT WAS A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND MANY SIMILAR ISSUES AFFECING FORD TRUCKS

Mileage: 95,000

SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT INTO LOW GEAR, FEELS LIKE FIRST GEAR. REAR WHEELS LOCK AND SLIDE. SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS 0, AND ODOMETER DISPLAYS 0, DIGITAL GAUGES IN THE CENTER GO BLANK. THIS IS FOLLOWED WITH A LOSS OF POWER. COASTING TO A SAFE PLACE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, RESTART AND HAVE GAUGES BACK, DRIVING WITH NORMAL SHIFT POINTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 14 DAYS. AND THIS TRUCK IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER, SO THIS IS OCCURRING EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. WE ONLY USE THIS TRUCK FOR DRIVING IN THE CITY, WE ARE TERRIFIED OF DRIVING ON ANY INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY OR AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO THE LOCKING UP OF THE REAR WHEELS. THERE IS NO PHOTO DOCUMENTATION DUE TO THE RAPID ONSET OF THE DOWNSHIFT. I FEAR THIS VEHICLE WILL BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH.

Mileage: 73,000

TWO PROBLEMS: I) FROM A STOP, SUCH AS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE INSTRUCTION LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, YIELD (BEFORE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY), STOP SIGN, PARKING SPOT, ETC, THE TRUCK ATTEMPTS TO START MOVING FORWARD IN 5TH GEAR. THE TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD UNLESS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN 5TH GEAR. II) MORE CONCERNING IS THAT THE TRUCK DECIDES TO DOWNSHIFT INAPPROPRIATELY (E.G. IT SHOULD UPSHIFT OR STAY IN GEAR, BUT DOWNSHIFTS ERRATICALLY CALLING). THIS LEADS TO STOPPING SHORT AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BUCK. IT RESULTS IN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PRESENTS A HORRIBLE RISK TO DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. HAD TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD OVER A CURB CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND ALMOST A HEART ATTACK! I HAVE 68,000 MILES ON A TRUCK THAT SHOULD LAST FOR AT LEAST DOUBLE THAT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BABIED AND WELL-MAINTAINED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THIS IS SAD THAT FORD WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH KNOWN ISSUES. REF: MOLDED LEADFRAME ISSUE INCLUDING TSB 13-6-8

Mileage: 68,000

TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (30-70 MPH), TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM UPPER GEARS (3RD-6TH) IMMEDIATELY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR, FAILING TO DOWNSHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS IN BETWEEN. WRENCH ICON APPEARS ON DISPLAY. DISPLAY ALSO SHOWS DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO ALTHOUGH STILL MOVING FORWARD. REAR TIRES BREAK TRACTION. CRASH POTENTIAL IS HIGH DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WET ROADS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. AT FIRST IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A RANDOM HARD SHIFT (2ND TO 1ST WHEN ACCELERATING) PERHAPS ONCE A MONTH - EASILY FORGETTABLE. IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE AND IS WILL BE SIDELINED UNTIL REPAIRED. SCAN TOOL SHOWED P0722 (OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR). THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LEADFRAME CONNECTOR (P/N: AL3Z-7G276-D) IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS APPLIES TO THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. SIGNS/SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 2016 RECALL OF 2011-2012 F-150'S. IT SEEMS FORD EXTENDED THE FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES FOR EFFECTED VEHICLES. UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE JUST PASSED THE 150K MARK, SO IF THE RECALL IS EXPANDED, I'M ALREADY OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE LIMIT, SO I'LL BE STUCK WITH THE BILL.

Mileage: 150,500

TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SKID AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE TRACTION. THIS LASTED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT SHIFTED BACK INTO 6TH GEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. SLOWED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AT ABOUT 20 MPH THEN JERKED FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE NEXT DAY WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL CAUSING ME TO STALL INTO APPROACHING TRAFFIC. CHECKING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE "LEAD FRAME MODULE" WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE MODULE BUT ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WHICH WAS APPARENTLY DAMAGED IN THE ERRATIC SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS, WHICH IS 4 MONTHS OVER THE WARRANTY DATE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES ON IT WHICH IS 10,000 UNDER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY ON THE DRIVETRAIN. I HAD TO PAY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

2 INSTANCES OCCURRED: 1/ THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A REGULAR STREET ROAD. SPEED WAS AROUND 30 MPH. THE GEAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE 'LOOKED UP'. IT WAS A BRUTAL STOP. AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY 2/ FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE COMPLETED SINCE THE FIRST EVENT, THE CAR GEARS SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 5TH. THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED, ENTERING A CAR PARK AT LOW SPEED. AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY THE VEHICLE, IT RESTATED NORMALLY. THE ISSUE HOWEVER REPEATED FEW MINUTES LATER, GEARS AGAIN SHIFTING FROM 2 TO 5.

SEVERAL ISSUES SPANNING 5 MONTHS AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT: 1. RANDOMLY FROM A STOP F-150 WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR FOR 5+ SECONDS WHILE REVVING RPM AT 5,000+. 2. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR WILL DISPLAY ON DASH PANE AND SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING SPEEDS OF 45 MPH. TACHOMETER WILL WORK AS NORMAL. TO CORRECT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. 3. LATEST SCENARIO 12/30/18 WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY F-150 WILL HARD DOWNSHIFT TO A LOW GEAR AND TOGGLE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW GEARS CAUSING VIOLENT JERKING EXPERIENCES PRODUCING VERY DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SCENARIOS.

Mileage: 79,500

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL DOWNSHIFT FROM HIGHER GEARS AND THEN NO LONGER SHIFTS OR REGISTERS SPEED - WRENCH LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON DASH. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL ALSO DROP DOWN TO ZERO AND NO LONGER REGISTER ANY SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK IS MOVING. THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WILL DISPLAY DASHES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR WILL STAY LITE. WHEN YOU UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. TOOK IT IN TO HAVE BATTERY TESTED AND HAD 100% CHARGE BUT READING INDICATED A BAD BATTERY SO HAD IT REPLACED BUT ISSUE STILL PRESENTED ITSELF AN HOUR LATER. ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS AND UNABLE TO REPLICATE SITUATION. ALSO TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IF THE ISSUE NEVER PRESENTED ITSELF WHILE THEY HAD THE TRUCK. ASKED IF ISSUE WAS EVER PRESENTED AT THAT FACILITY OR ANY KNOWN ISSUES AND WAS TOLD NO. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 20 DAYS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OUR TRUCK SHUT DOWN STOPPED WORKING. WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A WRENCH THAT APPEARED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CODE OF ISSUE INDICATED AN ISSUE. NO CODE WAS DETECTED. WE WERE TOLD THAT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD FUEL. WE PURCHASED A FUEL CLEANER. AGAIN, WE TRAVELED DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT THE BRACKET HOLDING THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKEN. WE REPLACED THE PART. STILL THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO REASON. WE AGAIN TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND FINALLY A CODE APPEARED. THE CODE INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH WAS IN ERROR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. WE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. A VERY DANGEROUS SIT-IN 2, 1. THE DRIVE SHAFT COULD HAVE SEIZED THE REAR WHEELS, THEREBY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. 2. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT, YET FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, SEND OUT A WARNING TO OTHERS THAT MAY BE EFFECTED. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO PROVIDE NO INDICATION OR WARNING TO PEOPLE THAT OWN THESE VEHICLES. 2011 AND 2012 HAVE BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE HAVE YOUR VEHICLES CHECKED FOR BOTH ISSUES. THE CODE THAT FINALLY RESULTED IN OUR FURTHER INSISTENCE P.1780-00 FOR YOUR AND ANY PASSENGERS SAFETY. PLEASE HAVE YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTED.

TRUCK ERRATICALLY SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 55MPH CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AS IF I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THERE IS A LARGE WRENCH ICON ON THE DISPLAY WHICH CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ 0 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ODOMETER READING IS DASHES "-------.--" TRUCK WILL ALSO GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I WAS EXPECTING TO. TRUCK WILL ALSO GET STUCK IN FIFTH GEAR WHILE AT A STOP. DASHES AND WRENCH CLEAR WHEN TRUCK IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. ERRATIC BEHAVIOR IS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND MAKES ME FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPOKE TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE UNTIL ISSUE WAS REPEATED. I HAVE ORDERED AND WILL REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME ASSEMBLY AS THAT APPEARS TO BE THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE, AND CLEAN AND INSPECT ALL CONNECTIONS TO TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE RECALL ON 2012 COVERED ON THE SAME TRANSMISSION, FORD DID NOT INCLUDE 2013 IN THIS RECALL.

MY 2013 FORD F-150 XLT WITH 71,000 MILES IS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING AND COMPLETELY LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS STARTED INTERMITTANTLY ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHILE I'M DRIVING, A GIANT WRENCH APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH IS THEN FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE IS THEN STUCK INTO A SINGLE GEAR AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND MILEAGE COMPUTER GO BLANK SO I NO LONGER KNOW HOW FAST I'M TRAVELLING. MY VEHICLE ISSUE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2011-2012 FORD F-150 TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING RECALL FROM BELOW. 'FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATORS ARE INVESTIGATING WHETHER TO REOPEN AND EXPAND A PREVIOUS FORD RECALL BY MORE THAN A MILLION VEHICLES FOR UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFTING. THE INITIAL 2016 RECALL AFFECTED MORE THAN 153,000 FORD F-150, FORD EXPEDITION, LINCOLN NAVIGATOR AND FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES FROM THE 2011-12 MODEL YEARS. A SECOND RECALL WOULD INCREASE THAT NUMBER TO AN ESTIMATED 1,375,577 VEHICLES AFFECTED, AND EXPAND INTO THE 2013 MODEL YEAR."

ON HIGHWAY, SPEED(60 MPH), GAUGES ON DASH BEGAN SWINGING WILDLY, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY AND THEN DOWN SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AT 60 MPH. THE REAR TIRES STARTED SCREAMING AND THREW ME SIDEWAYS INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ONTO SHOULDER OF ROAD. I HAD BEEN ON HIGHWAY FOR APPROX. 20 MINUTES BEFORE FAULT HAPPENED. I RESTARTED AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE. I ATTEMPTED TO TRAVEL TO FORD DEALER WHEN AFTER ANOTHER 20 MINUTES FAULT RESUMED THROWING TRUCK OFF HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY ONTO EXIT ROAD. I AGAIN RESTARTED TRUCK AND PROCEEDED AT 20 MPH TO NEARBY DEALER. MY FORD DEALER FOUND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF OSS SIGNAL FROM THE LEAD FRAME. EXACT PROBLEM AND REPAIR AS IN RECALL #16N02 BUT MY TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF RECALL RANGE. I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE 2013 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME UNSAFE CONDITION. I HAD SOME DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY LEFT SO REPAIR COST ME ONLY $100.00 BUT RECALL WOULD HAVE EXTENDED MY TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES.

Mileage: 63,500

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVES ERRATICALLY. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP ALL POWER IS LOST. A BIG WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM FORCED TO COAST OR LIMP OUT OF TRAFFIC. USUALLY IT WILL STOP IF I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCE IS SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. AGAIN I NEED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER POWERTRAIN ISSUE I HAVE EXPERIENCED, HOWEVER NOT AS DANGEROUS. IS ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAGES WILL GO BLANK. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OR ODOMETER. SOMETIMES I'LL SEE THE BIG YELLOW WRENCH. AGAIN, TO FIX THIS I NEED TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. I HAVE A 2013 FORD F-150 XLT WITH 3.5 ECOBOOST APPROXMITTLY 80,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONE OF THESE THREE PROBLEMS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

IT HAS DONE EVERYTHING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY EXCEPT FOR THE 1ST GEAR ISSUE THAT HAPPENED FROM A STOPED POSITION WHEN I STARTED TO TAKE OFF. PROBLEM DOES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN YOU PULL OVER AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN IT STARTS IT AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 985.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE PREVIOUS YEARS TRUCK SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2011 AND 2012 ALSO HAVE READ THE PROBLEM IS STILL ACCOURING ON THE 2014 MODELS AS WELL

THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. THEN SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT THAT SAME SPEED IT SHIFTED TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR LOCKING UP THE TIRES. THIS CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTED BACK TO 6TH GEAR AND BEGAN SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH AGAIN BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR UNTIL I COULD EXIT THE FREEWAY.

IT NOW CONTINUES TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY FROM 1ST TO 6TH TO 3RD. IT ALSO GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT NORMALLY AND THEN DOWNSHIFT BACK TO FIRST GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY FOR SOME TIME WITH HARD SHIFTING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE ANY NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIPS TAKE A LOOK AT IT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

THIS IS THE 3RD OCCURRENCE OVER THE LAST MONTH. DRIVING ON HWY 90 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR. THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND SMOKED AS I WAS THROWN FORWARD AGAINST MY SEAT BELT. I NARROWLY KEPT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE TRUCK OPERATED NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 50 MILES. THE SUDDEN VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING. FORD HAS RECALLED 2014 F150'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED THE 2013'S? SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD F150.

TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ON ITS OWN ERRATICALLY. WHILE TRAVELLING IN 6TH GEAR AT 70 MPH IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST LOCKING TIRES BRIEFLY AND THEN BACK TO SPEED AFTER LETTING OFF THE PEDAL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO BLANK AND THE NEEDLES WOULD STOP WORKING WHILE STILL MOVING. IT CANT BE DUPLICATED AND DOES IT WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAD DONE IT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ONCE IT WAS IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR WITH OR WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON. WOULD HAVE A WRENCH WITH OK BUTTON. WAS GETTING ON HIGHWAY DURING ONE OCCASION AND IT LOST POWER ALMOST CAUSING A MERGE COLLISION DUE TO I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I LIMPED IT OFF THE SIDE OFF ROAD, SHUT IT DOWN, RESTARTED AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. I JUST HAD IT REPAIRED AND NOW SEEMS TO BE WORKING AS I HAVE TRIED MANY SITUATIONS NERVOUSLY AWAITING IT TO FAIL IF IT IS THE FIX. THE LEAD FRAME IN TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE FOR THE 2011-2012 MODELS AND SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR 2013 OR ANY MODEL WITH THIS DESIGN. IT CAUSES VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND COULD BE FATAL IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I PHYSICALLY WATCHED CARS BACK OFF ME WHILE TRAVELLING 60 MPH AND MY TIRES MUST HAVE SMOKE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN AND CHIRPED THE TIRES UNEXPECTEDLY. NOT HAPPY SINCE I ONLY HAVE COUPLE MONTHS ON THESE NEW TIRES AS WELL. THE TRANSMISSION ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD SHIFT POINT BETWEEN 4,5 AND 6TH GEAR.

EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT. 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. CODE P0731 WHEN THE CODE P0731 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR IN GEAR 1.CODE P0732 WHEN THE CODE P0732 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING A GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 2ND GEAR.CODE P0733 WHEN THE CODE P0733 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING A GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 3RD GEAR.

MY AUTO TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING. IT LOCKS UP THE WHEELS AND IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. FORD HAD A RECALL FOR 2011 AND 2012 F-150'S WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM (RECALL #16S19), BUT THEY SAID IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCK.THAT IS WRONG AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE RECALL IDENTIFIES THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS THE "POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE/TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE". IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MPH.

CAUSING THE VEHICLES REAR END TO LOCK UP AND THROW THE VEHICLE SIDEWAYS. DRIVER WAS FACING THE SIDE OF THE TRACTOR TRAILER HEAD ON NOW WHILE THE REAR END WAS BOUNCING OFF OF THE RUMPLE STRIPS. THE MOTOR WAS WELL OVER 6800 RPMS CAUSING THE TAC TO BOUNCE BETWEEN 6500 AND 7000RPM. NOT ONLY DID THIS PUT A LOT OF STRESS ON THE MOTOR AND TURBO, THIS ALSO SHOCKED ALL OF THE DRIVELINE COMPONENTS. A SHIFT LIKE THIS IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A "MONEY SHIFT" BECAUSE IT DESTROYS AN ENTIRE DRIVELINE AS WELL AS THE MOTOR. LUCKILY THE VEHICLES DRIVELINE WAS STILL INTACT AFTER THIS HARSH DOWNSHIFT AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO THROW THE TRUCK INTO MANUAL MOD SHIFT THE TRUCK BACK UP TO 5TH GEAR AND COUNTER STEER 2-3 TIMES TO CORRECT FROM THE TAIL END KICKING OUT. THE DRIVER BELIEVES THAT AN AVERAGE DRIVER WOULD HAVE DIED IN THIS SAME SITUATION. THE DRIVER FEELS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS. AFTER THE DRIVER PULLED THE TRUCK INTO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED THEY TOLD THE DRIVER THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. THE DRIVE THEN CALLED FORD TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND ON THREE SEPARATE CALLS ON 11/1/2018 FORD TOLD THE DRIVER THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A RE-CALL. THE DRIVER WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF THE NHTSA CAN OPEN AN INVESTIGATING INTO THE 2013+ MODELS OF THE F150'S TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTING FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR. THIS IS A VERY DEADLY MALFUNCTION ESPECIALLY WITH ICY ROADS JUST AROUND THE CORNER IN MI.

ALSO, MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED JUMPING AT LOW SPEEDS, AND REDUCES THE VEHICLE TO AND ABSOLUTE CRAWL....LESS THAN 5MPH. IT'S NOT A HIGH SPEED PROBLEM...JUST AT LIGHTS ,COMPLETE STOPS AND STOP AND GO DRIVING/TRAFFIC.

MY 2013 FORD F-150 SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE A MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COST $1200. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE.

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE GREEN ARROW APPEARED, PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE AT A RATE THAT WAS NOT NORMAL FOR WHAT THE TACHOMETER WAS READING. THE VEHICLE THEN JOLTED SUDDENLY AS IF THE 1ST GEAR HAD ENGAGED. THIS WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE LOSING ROAD SPEED. IT SEEMED THAT 5TH GEAR HAD BEEN ENGAGED. THE SEATBELT CAUTION AND WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES, BUT IT WAS SLOW BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT IN FIRST GEAR. PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ONCE STOPPED, I SHUTDOWN THE VEHICLE AND WAITED 30 SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO ON FOR THIS FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIPS WHO ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS THERE IS AN ASSOCIATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODE THAT CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A POWERTRAIN FAILURE WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAN LEAD TO A VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION IF THERE'S ONCOMING CROSS TRAFFIC. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE F150 MODEL YEAR 2013 FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ERRATIC SHIFTING IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT LOW SPEEDS.

THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS VERY IRRITATING AND IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO JUMP AROUND OR IS STUCK IN 5TH AND YOU CANT GET MOVING IS DANGEROUS. THE DEALER WOULD NOT OFFER A REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THEY HAD IT. BUT OF COURSE IT HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME AFTER I PICKED IT UP. IT IS RANDOM, BUT HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS.

Mileage: 76,000

GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK WOULD NO SLOW DOWN. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO 2ND OR 1ST GEAR. HARD UNCONTROLLED STOP. WHEN TRIED TO START MOVING AGAIN TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD AND STARTED FROM 5TH GEAR. DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALER AS THIS WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT SWITCHED GEARS RANDOMLY THE ENTIRE WAY TO THE FORD DEALER FROM THE HIGHWAY. 2013 47K MILES

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES THAT OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES HAPPENING. 1. WHEN COMING TO A STOP THEN ACCELERATING, MOST FREQUENTLY AFTER GETTING OFF HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE THE TRUCKS RPMS WILL REV UP TO 4000, BUT THE TRUCK WILL NEVER SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND/OR RESTART THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. 2. AGAIN STOP FROM OFF HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRUCK WILL SLOWLY MOVE AND IT WILL STILL BE IN 4TH GEAR WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY GET UP TO SPEED AND START TO ACT NORMAL. 3. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30-50MPH THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT DOWN TO 1ST GEAR FROM 6/5TH GEAR CASING THE REAR TIRES TO LOCK AND SKID SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN QUICKLY. I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 4. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL JERK LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTED AND SHOWS THE WRENCH ICON AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0MPH WHILE STILL TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TACHOMETER STILL WORKS, BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT. I HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. HAD MECHANIC CHECK FOR CODES, BUT THERE WAS NONE. THIS BEHAVIOR IS VERY ERRATIC AND A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, I WORRY FOR MY SAFETY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 59,700

I AM HAVING THE ISSUES DESCRIBED IN RQ17010. SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (I.E. IN PARKING LOTS) I WILL EXPERIENCE A HARSH DOWNSHIFT IN TO 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE THE REAR END TO SLIDE IF IT'S SLIPPERY OUT.

MY TRUCK HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO IT PERIODICALLY BEGAN HAVING ISSUES LOSING POWER AND SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. INITIALLY, I PULLED OVER AND CUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. RECENTLY IT BEGAN TO DO IT MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. IT CAME BACK AS A PROBLEM WITH THE "LEAD FRAME MODULE" IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO SAID I MISSED OUT ON A RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM BY 2 MONTHS. (THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WAS THROUGH APRIL OF 2013 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE OF 2013.) HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN PARSONS TN. I DID THIS AND ONCE AGAIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM DIAGNOSED FOR ANOTHER $90 FEE. I WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $600 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I MADE THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT THEY HAD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, WHICH WAS A WEEK LATER. MY APPOINTMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN TODAY, 8/23/2018, BUT THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY SAYING THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET ME IN UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I WENT AHEAD AND RESCHEDULED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. TODAY I WAS DRIVING IT AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND MY REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I LUCKILY DIDN'T WRECK BUT CAME VERY CLOSE. I CAME HOME AND BEGAN RESEARCHING THE LEAD FRAME ISSUE AND SAW MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN. I WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MY TRUCK WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. I REALLY LIKE MY TRUCK BUT NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD IN GENERAL. I SEARCHED EXTENSIVELY TO FIND A TRUCK WITH NO MECHANICAL ISSUES AND NOW FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY DO I HAVE A " MAJOR" ISSUE, BUT IT MISSED OUT ON A BEING CORRECTED FOR FREE BY 2 MONTHS. IF I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A PROBLEM FIXED THAT IS AN ADMITTED DEFECT, I WILL NEVER AGAIN OWN ANOTHER FORD!

FOR AWHILE NOW I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNING.. NEVER PAYED IT MUCH MIND UNTIL RECENTLY, I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE IT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESES TRUCKS. IT'S THE TIMMING CHAIN STRETCH.. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE ALSO VERIFIED THAT'S WHAT IT IS HE SAID HE SEEN THIS A LOT WITH THE OTHER FORDS. THEN I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, THE TRUCK HAS 65000 MILES, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE NOW, AND FROM WHAT I'M READING ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.. WAS WONDERING WHY FORD WILL NOT HONOR THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM?

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM HIGHER TO LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO SKID AND VEHICLE TO JERK. VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WITH RPM INDICATOR ON DASH SHOWING ENGINE REVVING AT OR ABOVE 1,500 TO 2,500 RPMS WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE RPMS WILL CLIMB TO 1,500 TO 2,000 AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO MOVE. THE WRENCH INDICATOR HAS COME ON 3 TIMES BUT GOES OFF IF VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT STORE ANY CODES TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT NO CODES WERE PRESENT AND VEHICLE DID NOT ACT UP WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. ALSO INFORMED BY DEALER THAT UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED DURING DIAGNOSTIC TEST FORD MOTOR WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70 MPH. SPEEDOMETER STOPS FUNCTIONING AND INDICATES 0 MPH. ODOMETER INDICATES A SERIES OF DASHES "-------". THE TRANSMISSION SPEED REMAINS AT CONSTANT RPM REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO THROTTLE. INDICATOR FOR POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER/ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOMENTARILY APPEARS. DRIVER APPLIES PRESSURE TO THROTTLE AND HEARS THE ENGINE RESPONSE, BUT THERE'S NO APPARENT RESPONSE IN THE DRIVETRAIN. DRIVE COASTS OFF HIGHWAY AND SHIFTS FROM NEUTRAL BACK INTO DRIVE. IS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO A GEAR. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY.

TRANSMISSION STARTED RANDOMLY SHIFTING. IN ONE CASE IT WENT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST AND LOCKED UP THE WHEELS. OBVIOUSLY THIS OCCURS WHEN CAR IS MOVING AND SHIFTING. LEAD FRAME OF THE TRANSMISSION IS WHAT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH 93000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. 6TH TO 1ST SHIFT AT SPEED AND LOCKING UP THE WHEELS IS DEADLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, A TRANSMISSION LINE APPARENTLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO RUST THROUGH. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED SMOKING DUE TO THE FLUID CONTACTING THE EXHAUST. THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE AND WITHIN SECONDS DROPPED TO 15 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 72,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT WARRANT THIS ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS SO COMMON, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER THROUGH FORD. THE TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING ON PARTS.

Mileage: 72,100

WHILE TRAVELING AT 50-60MPH THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 AND THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR AND THEN SHOOTS RIGHT BACK UP TO SIXTH GEAR. IT HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAYS. ON ONE OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 45-50 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. EVEN WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK IT WAS STILL TELLING ME IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR. THIS CONDITION IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT A FAIRLY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS TOWING MY BOAT WHEN THIS SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT OCCURRED. MY TWO YOUNGEST CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME ON THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, WHICH MADE THE SITUATION MORE NERVE RACKING. MY DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR FORD F150'S 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS WITH THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I THINK THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO 2013 MODELS AS THE SAME THING IS STILL OCCURRING IN THIS MODEL YEAR. I HAVE A VIDEO OF TWO OCCURRENCES IF YOU WOULD WANT ME TO SUBMIT IT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I CAN ONLY UPLOAD PICTURES.

Mileage: 118,000

TRUCK WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING, AND MOST GAUGES STOPPING WORKING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT A REPAIR. 2 OF THOSE TIMES WERE AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF 4TH OR 5TH AND JUMPED INTO 1ST GEAR, THROWING THE TRUCK AROUND A BIT. I HAPPENED TO BE SLOWING DOWN EACH OF THOSE TIMES AND IT DIDN'T BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. THE 3RD TIME WAS AT LEAST 60 MPH ON A FREEWAY, BUT THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION LUCKILY STAYED IN NEUTRAL, AND I COASTED TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME GAVE A DTC OF P07022. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK AFTER RESTARTING. THIS IS WHEN I STOPPED DRIVING THIS TRUCK UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE LEAD FRAME. SHIFTING HAS BEEN A LITTLE WEIRD AFTER THAT, I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN.

Mileage: 92,000

HARD SHIFT DOWN FROM HIGHER TO LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION IS AN AUTOMATIC AND TRUCK WILL BE GOING 40-60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR, CAUSING RAPID DECLINE IS SPEED, TIRES TO LOCK UP, AND TRUCK WILL GO INTO "LIMP" MODE. YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AN ON AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE FOR IT TO CLEAR OUT. AT THE SAME TIME THE GAUGE PANEL WILL GO CRAZY AND START JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN SPEED AND RPM. WHEN FIXED THEY CHARGED FOR A GASKET, OIL, CONNECTOR, SCREEN ASY, TRANS KIT, AND OIL. THE NOTES FROM DEALERSHIP ARE: R+R VALVEBODY, OVERHAUL VALVEBODY AND REPLACE INTERNAL HARNESS, NEW FILTER AND GASKET, REFILL TRANS. APPROXIMATE COST $1400.00

A DRASTIC SHIFT FROM 5TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST &/OR A REDUCTION IN SPEED BROUGHT ABOUT BY BRAKING, WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING DOWNSHIFT. SO YOU EITHER GET SLAMMED FORWARD BY SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT, OR CREEP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN 5TH GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

TRUCK WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH RANDOMLY DISENGAGING FROM CRUISE CONTROL, LOSS OF POWER FROM A STOP, AND ERRATIC DOWNSHIFTING. ON THE HIGHWAY THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE, SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO TO 0 THEN BACK TO ITS ACTUAL SPEED. FROM A STOP SIGN/STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT WOULD TURN GREEN THE TRUCK WOULD SPIT AND SPUTTER, SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, RPM WOULD GO UP BUT NO POWER. WHEN CRUISING AROUND 45MPH TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO REASON CAUSING A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, THIS HAPPENED TWICE CONSECUTIVELY. TOOK IS TO SIMMONS ROCKWELL TO GET IT DIAGNOSED, AFTER I HAD ALREADY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND KNEW WHAT IT WAS, AND THEY REPLACED THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THEY HAD THAT CAUSED THE RECALL ON THE 2011/2012 MODELS. THE REPAIR COST WAS @ $500.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK TODAY, AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THAT IS, THE ENGINE DIED, THE POWER STEERING DIED, AND THE BRAKES DIED WHILE THE TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. LET ME REITERATE - THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE, OBJECT, OR PERSON IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY COLLIDED WITH THEM (THANKFULLY THE ROAD WAS EMPTY) RESEARCH HAS LEAD ME TO FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THE F150 SERIES FROM YEARS 2010 TO APPROXIMATELY 2014. FUSE NUMBER 27 IN THE ENGINE FUSE BOX IS UNDERSIZED FROM THE FACTORY AND MELTS DUE TO THE INABILITY TO HANDLE THE AMPERAGE. I FOUND MINE MELTED AFTER TODAY AS WELL. FORD HAS "ADDRESSED" THIS ISSUE WITH A TSB (FORD TSB-15-0137 SEE ATTACHED) WHICH IT CHARGES CUSTOMERS FOR TO REPLACE THE FUSE AND WIRING FOR THE FUSE WITH A NEW, UP SIZED FUSE AND WIRES. THEY DO NOT COVER THIS FREE OF CHARGE UNLESS YOUR TRUCK IS UNDER WARRANTY. AS THIS IS A GLARING SAFETY ISSUE THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED, I ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS AND HAVE FORD INITIATE A RECALL ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, AND MAKE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS. THIS ISSUE IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND ONE THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY DUE TO FAILURE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO EVEN WHILE MOVING - I HAVE VIDEO FROM MY CELL PHONE OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE GOING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL OTHER GAUGES GO TO DASHES, INCLUDING THE MILEAGE, MPG, ETC. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO 2ND AND 5TH GEARS AND WILL NOT GO TO ANY OTHER GEARS. IT SOMETIMES REMAINS IN 3RD GEAR EVEN AT A DEAD STOP. TURNING THE TRUCK COMPLETELY OFF SOMETIMES "RESETS" THINGS, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. I HAVE CONTACTED A DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK YEAR - EVEN THOUGH THE SAME TYPES OF THINGS WERE OCCURRING WITH 2011-12 F150'S, AND THOSE ARE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE: IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, SOMETIMES ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR AND HARDLY WILL GET GOING. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPORT TO NHTSA BUT SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL, I WOULD MOST LIKELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR. I POINTED OUT A LETTER SENT BY NHTSA TO FORD ON JANUARY 18, 2018 ADDRESSING ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK MODEL AND YEAR, BUT THAT DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE REPRESENTATIVE'S MIND. I BELIEVE THERE NEEDS TO BE CONSUMER PROTECTION ON THIS, BOTH FROM A SAFETY AND FINANCIAL ASPECT, BY NHTSA. I HAVE VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTING TO 5TH GEAR AND REMAINING THERE, AND WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT TO ANY OTHER GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY WITH HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART IT TO TRY TO "RESET" THINGS.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY FOR THE PAST 30 DAYS. AT FIRST THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND THEN THE RPMS WOULD JUMP 2000, AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS I WOULD HEAR A LOUD THUMP AS THE TRANSMISSION REENGAGED; THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO REGISTERED 0 A COUPLE TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. OTHER TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD REFUSE TO LEAVE FIRST GEAR OR I WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE IN FIRST GEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. THE WORST ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND LOCKED UP MY REAR TIRES! THANKFULLY I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED, OR WORSE, BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY; THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THE VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS. UNFORTUNATELY THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT AND DO NOT GENERATE ERROR CODES. I'VE BEEN TO TWO FORD DEALERS, THE FIRST COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE SECOND WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY ELECTRONIC CONTROL ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSMISSION; THEY HAD TO SEARCH SERVICE BULLETINS IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING. WHILE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH FORD OWNERS, 2013 VEHICLES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1412.75 TO FIX THE ISSUE. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND THEN SHIFTED BACK TO A DRIVABLE GEAR AFTER TWO SECONDS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PREFERRED FORD (1401 S BEACON BLVD, GRAND HAVEN, MI 49417, (616) 842-0600) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

SPEED SENSOR. WHEN DRIVING YOU COULD BE STOPPED OR MOVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED FOR EXAMPLE I WAS GOING 50MPH WHEN THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO FIRST CAUSING THE TRUCK TO COME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT OTHER TIMES WHEB YOU START THE TRUCK IT WILL SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH GEAR AND THE WRENCH INDICATOR WILL APPEAR ON DASH WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS TO DASHES (MILEAGE ETC). THE SPEEDOMETER WILL THEN SHOW ZERO EVEN WHILE STILL MOVING.

ON APRIL 14, 2018 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 F-150 ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN THE RAIN WHEN THE BACK WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND I ABRUPTLY BEGAN STOPPING AND I LOST CONTROL, FISHTAILING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT (ALMOST TO A SPIN), BARELY MISSING VEHICLES AROUND ME AND THE WALL TO THE LEFT. THE CAR BEHIND ME SOMEHOW VEERED AROUND AND MISSED ME TOO. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN. I SOMEHOW MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PARKED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND TRIED TO SETTLE DOWN AND GAIN MY COMPOSURE (...IT WAS SCARY, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS INCIDENT!). I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND SLOWLY BEGAN DRIVE. IT SEEMED TO DRIVE OK SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. AS I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY, WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT ON A 40MPH ROAD THE ENGINE THEN SHUT DOWN AND I COULD SEE A SCREEN APPEAR WITH "LOW OIL PRESSURE". I GLIDED TO A PARKING LOT AND HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK (SUBURBAN FORD OF WATERFORD MICHIGAN). THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE AND SAID IT THREW A ROD. THEY SAID THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF THE WHEELS LOCKING UP. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON 2013 F-150'S WITH THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTING TO A LOW GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS AND SAID THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2011 AND 2012 F-150'S FOR THIS BUT NO RECALL PRESENTLY ACTIVE ON THE 2013 F-150. I PURCHASED A FULL WARRANTY FOR THE TRUCK WHEN NEW BUT THE TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT 110K MILES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD PROVIDE A REFURBISHED ENGINE FOR $10,000. I'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH FORD AND THE DEALER AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. SEE: HTTP://AUTOWEEK.COM/ARTICLE/RECALLS/FORDS-DOWNSHIFTING-RECALL-MAY-EXPAND

THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT OUT OF GEAR, INTO A HIGHER GEAR, OR INTO A LOWER GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO AND THE RPMS WILL RACE TO 5000 OR 6000. THE WORST INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENED AT 60 MPH WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SQUEAL, THE ENGINE TO REV, AND ALSO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE ERROR CODE OF A "WRENCH" POPPED UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IN MY RESEARCH, THE 2011 AND 2012 F150S HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED BUT THIS NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE 2013 AS WELL. THE REPAIR IS THE "LEAD FRAME" IN THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF OVER $1,000. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM 5TH GEAR AND BOGS DOWN FROM A STANDING START (ONVIOUSLY) AND I HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IN PARK TO SHIFT AGAIN AND SOMETIMES THAT DOES NOT WORK. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS IT SHIFTED DOWN TO FIRST ON IT'S OWN AND IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE THE JOLT WAS SO HARD. SERVICE DEPT SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS NOT RECALLED AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT (DANGEROUSLY HAPPENS AT RANDOM!). I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN THIS DANGEROUS TRUCK!

SEVERAL TIMES MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH. THIS CAUSED MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE PULLING MY UTV TRAILER ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE, AND AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE.

WITHOUT WARNING MY REAR WHEELS & DRIVETRAIN LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AND I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER AT AROUND 35 MPH TO AVOID BEING IN TRAFFIC. AS THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURING, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 MPH AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IN THE CLUSTER SHOWED ALL DASHES. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH AS VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND TRANSMISSION CAN SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AT HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R80 FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME TYPE OF 6R80 MOLDED LEAD FRAME DEFECT PROBLEM REPORTED IN PREVIOUS F150 MODEL YEARS. UPON CONTACTING DEALERSHIP THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE BEFORE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH P0722 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. A SIMPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON A $100 PART SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS REACTION. SEE FORD TSB 13-4-9 AND 13-2-3 AND RECALL #16V248000 THAT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2013 F-150'S TOO.

AN ORANGE WRENCH WILL FLASH IN THE INFO CENTER ON THE DASH WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 75 MPH. THIS CAUSED THE TRUCK TO GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLED SKID, LUCKILY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CYCLED THE IGNITION AND DROVE SLOWLY AWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THAT DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE 200,000 PLUS FORD VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED FROM 2011-2012 FOR THESE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS.

IN THE LATTER INSTANCE, THE REAR WHEELS SKID WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET. THE TRANSMISSION MOVES BACK INTO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FORD TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS. FORD HAS NOW GIVEN UP. FORD HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY AND A COMMUNICATION CABLE THAT CONNECTS THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE TO THE TRANSMISSION. NOTHING HAS WORKED AND THE F150 CONTINUES TO DOWNSHIFT.

INITIAL START OFF STARTS IN 5TH GEAR 50% OF THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK TO 1ST IS TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, THIS USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL IGNITION CYCLES TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. ERRATIC SHIFTING THROUGHOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE 100% OF THE TIME. THE VEHICLE SHIFTS BETWEEN 6TH AND 4TH FOR NO REASON DURING A NORMAL DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE 75% OF OPERATION. HARD DOWN SHIFTING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. OFTEN WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT OVER 50MPH THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT INTO 1ST OR 2ND LOCKING UP THE TIRES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OUT OF THE LOWER GEAR IS TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON. I HAVE SLID SIDEWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST BEEN HIT IN THE BACK SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM WILL NOT EVEN TOUCH THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN $115 FOR A DIAGNOSTICS FEE. THEY SAID IF IT IS THE TSB13-04-09 AS THEY SUSPECT IT WILL BE $1,029.00 TO REPAIR IN ADDITION TO THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE. A LOCAL TRANSMISSION FACILITY HAS QUOTED $615.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE HAD TO STOP THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, MOST OF THE TIME TWICE A WEEK.

TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT ENGAGE WHILE DOWNSHIFTING. TRYING TO SHIFT MANUALLY WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC BUT BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN THE PARK POSITION AND RESTART THE TRUCK, FIXING THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP TODAY FOR AN $800 REPAIR THAT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR THIS BUT WILL NOT ASSUME THE COST OF THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SWITCHED FROM SIXTH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR AT ONCE, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD. CROWN FORD IN FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO SLIP INTO A LOWER GEAR. AT LOW TO NORMAL SPEED, THIS CAUSED WHEEL SPIN AND TIRE SCREECHING. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED SLUGGISH UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND RESISTED A RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THESE OCCURRENCES ALL HAPPENED IN CITY STREET DRIVING AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION

Mileage: 41,000

UPON ACCELERATION, GENERALLY FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL, THUD, LOSE POWER AND CEASE TO ACCELERATE DESPITE PEDAL BEING PUSHED. IT ALSO TENDS TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPING. NO WARNINGS OR MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER PRESSING THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND NEARLY ROLLING TO A STOP, CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION WILL EVENTUALLY RESUME. THE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION CAUSES A SAFETY RISK, ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR CONSISTENTLY, BUT WAS HAPPENING WITH SOME REGULARITY APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 60 AND 65MPH AND MY 2013 F150 WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO WHAT I BELIEVE WAS 1ST GEAR. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO CRASHING AND COMPLETELY LOSING CONTROL BECAUSE THE REAR WHEELS BREIFLY SKIDDED ON THE FREEWAY SURFACE AND BECAUSE OF THE QUICK REDUCTION OF SPEED. IT WAS VIOLENT BECAUSE I WASNT EXPECTING IT. I AM GOING TO SLOWLY LIMP IT TO A FORD DEALER IN MESA ARIZONA TOMORROW MORNING. THEY SHOULD NOT CHARGE ME FOR THIS COMPONANT FLAW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK.

WHEN DRIVING IN MOTION, MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING UP THE BRAKES. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG BEGAN TO READ INOPERABLE VIA THE DISPLAY. IN ANOTHER SITUATION (WHICH OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES) WHEN STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION MY VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY FORD, THEY ADVISED THE LEAD FRAME ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT 10-12 FORD F-150'S FROM THE KANSAS CITY PLANT HAD THIS ITEM RECALLED.

Mileage: 66,000

WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY DROPPED DOWN TO A LOWER GEAR, AND FLASHED A WRENCH SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN THIS OCCURS, ALL DASHBOARD INDICATORS ZERO OUT AND SPEED DROPS DRASTICALLY. THIS HAS OCCURED ON BOTH A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TIME IT OCCURED ONE THE HIGHWAY, I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY INSPECTED AND DISCOVERED DTC CODE P0722 AND DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LEAD CONNECTOR. MY OWN RESEARCH REVEALED A RECALL FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEAR F150S TO FIX THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, A FAULTY SPEED SENSOR. NOW I'M PAYING $650 FOR SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODEL YEARS.

Mileage: 93,500

FAILURE OF THE LEAD FRAME IN THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. FORD RECALLED A NUMBER OF 2011 AND 2012 F150'S FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE LEAD FRAME FAILURE, WHICH HOUSES THE SPEED SENSOR, CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ATTEMPT TO DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MINE IS A 2013 F150 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TWO TIMES OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ~50MPH, AND CAUSED A SUDDEN/TEMPORARY BOG AND DECELERATION. THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR FROM APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND CREATE A SHORT SKID, BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO A HIGHER GEAR. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NEARLY CRASHED INTO ME BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WAS ON A STRAIGHT, LEVEL HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THE THREE INCIDENTS OCCURRED SEVERAL WEEKS APART IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS, AND THE FIRST TWO WERE NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR ME TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT FOR SERVICE. I HAD THE PART REPLACED AT $727 COST TO ME. THE VEHICLE HAS 66,000 MILES AND WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED FORD ABOUT COVERING THE COST, SINCE THE RECALLED '11 AND '12 MODELS WERE COVERED FOR ALL REPAIR COSTS BEYOND 100,000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND TRANSMISSION, FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION KNOWN TO FORD. MANY OWNERS MAY FOREGO REPAIRS DUE TO THE COST, PARTICULARLY WHEN THE INITIAL SIGNS OF A PROBLEM ARE NOT SEVERE, UNTIL THEY HAVE A FULL ON LOCKUP OF THE REAR WHEELS AS I EXPERIENCED. I HAVE THE RECEIPT AND ORIGINAL LEAD FRAME THAT WAS REPLACED IF NECESSARY FOR INSPECTION.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, TRUCK LOST POWER AND STARTED TO COAST. SPEEDOMETER SWEPT TO 0 INDICATED SPEED, TACHOMETER INDICATED ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED, AROUND 1000 RPM, WHILE COASTING FROM 70 MPH SLOWING TO ROUGHLY 40 MPH. VEHICLE REGAINED POWERED DRIVE BRIEFLY THEN AGAIN LOST POWER AND COASTED. AFTER RESUMING COASTING, THE BACK TIRES THEN BREIFLY LOCKED UP, VEHICLE SHUDDERED, THEN RESUMED COASTING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE AND BECAME NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. EXPLANATION FROM DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM TRANSMISSION TO ECU PASSES THROUGH FIREWALL THROUGH A GROMMET THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL. THE WIRING CHAFES AND CAUSES A SHORT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. APPARENTLY A TSB IS ISSUED FOR REPAIR AT CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE PER DEALER BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROVERBIAL TICKING TIMEBOMB FOR F150 OWNERS AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL.

Mileage: 72,000

THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR AND ACTED ERRATICALLY. THE RPMS MIGHT SPIKE BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT ACCELERATE. OTHER TIMES THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO EVEN WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER FIRST REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE LEAD FRAME FOR A TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,100. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF AT LOWER SPEEDS IN TOWN. THIS COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM UNDER OTHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS TOWING A CAMPER/TRAILER OR AT HIGH SPEEDS. I SEE THERE WAS A LEAD FRAME RECALL ON THE 2012 F150S. IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE THAT THIS RECALL WOULD ALSO BE APPLICABLE TO THE 2013S.

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, AFTER TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR, GOING TO 2ND GEAR, TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO REV. AFTER 3-5 SECONDS, TRANSMISSION WILL REENGAGE AND SHIFT THRU THE GEARS TO TOP GEAR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN FORWARD MOTION AND ONLY ON AN INTERMITANT BASIS, EG, NOT ALL THE TIME. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP TO ZERO FOR 1-2 SECONDS AND THEN BACK TO THE PRESENT SPEED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO LOCK UP AS THOUGH IT WAS PLACED INTO PARK. I HAVE ALSO COME TO A STOP AND WHEN TRYING TO START TO MOVE FORWARD, THE TRANSMISSION GEAR INDICATOR SAYS THAT IT DID NOT DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR, BUT TRIED TO START OUT IN 4TH GEAR. AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING TO MOVE FORWARD, IT WOULD FINALLY DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR. SOMETIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS REACHED 20-30 MPH AND THEN IT WILL GO FROM 1ST GEAR TO 4TH THEN FINALLY THRU TO 6TH AND FINAL GEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DO THESE THINGS. THEY DID TELL ME THAT FORD HAD RECALLED 2011 AND 2012 MODEL F150'S FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT DID NOT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE LEADFRAME VALVE BODY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE VERY FAR, FEARING A POSSIBLE BREAKDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE SCHEDULED ANOTHER VISIT WITH A FORD DEALER TO POSSIBLY HAVE THIS REBUILD DONE. THE VEHICLE HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY ESTIMATE A SUBSTANTIAL COST INVOLVED TO DO THIS. DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS ?

THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 4 WEEKS AND DETERMINED A WIRING LEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT COVERED BY ANY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS WELL AS ANY OTHER VEHICLE AROUND US.

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

ON THIS VEHICLE, I RARELY USE 4WD, EXCEPT IN WINTER CONDITIONS. I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF 4WD LOW BACK INTO 4X2, EVEN WHILE THE FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND IN NEUTRAL. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE OVER A SMALL PILE OF SHOVELED SNOW AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY ENTERING A CITY STREET AND I SHIFTED IT INTO 4WD LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. IT MADE A HORRIBLE GRINDING AND THEN A "THUD" FROM THE POWERTRAIN AND LURCHED FORWARD. AFTER I WAS OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I DECIDED TO TAKE IT OUT OF 4WD LOW, SO I STOPPED, AND WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED, I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THEN SELECTED 4WD HIGH. THE VEHICLE ADVISED TO PULL FORWARD SO I SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND HAD A VERY HIGH RPM. AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED CLIMBING. I THEN SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL AND THEN TRIED REVERSE. SAME RESULT, I GOT THE SAME, NO MOVEMENT HIGH RPM AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GEARS STARTED TO GRIND HORRIBLY! I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED BACK TO NEUTRAL. I EVEN ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT TO 4X2, BUT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMED AS IT WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN GEARS. I THEN HAD TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED THE VEHICLE FORWARD, AS THIS IS WHAT THE ONBOARD SYSTEM WAS SAYING. IT WANTED YOU TO PULL FORWARD, BUT NOTHING WAS ENGAGED TO LET YOU PULL FORWARD. NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO PUSH. AFTER A FEW TRIES OF THIS PUSHING AND SHIFTING METHOD, IT FINALLY DECIDED TO CATCH AND IT SLAMMED BACK INTO 4WD HIGH, BUT IT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK WAS BEING RIPPED APART AT THAT POINT. IT WAS IN GEAR FOR ME AND MOVING AGAIN THOUGH, AND I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT IT BACK INTO 4X2 IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING THAT I WAS GOING 0 MPH WHEN I WAS CLEARLY MOVING AROUND 45 MPH. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW MUCH THROTTLE I GAVE IT. I NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. I TRIED TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE GEARS AND WHEN I PRESSED THE + AND - BUTTONS ON THE GEAR SHIFTER THE NUMBER "5" ON THE DASH WOULD FLASH AND NOT CHANGE GEARS.

I HAVE SOME STRANGE SHIFTING ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK FORD HAS DENIED ME A FIX. AS OF NOW, IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SPLIT TWO-PIECE DRIVE SHAFT "BUMP". (SPLINE YOKE NEEDS GREASE) OR TSB 14-0090 FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETIMES YOU HIT A BUMP BUT THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. DRIVE SHAFT SPLINE NEEDS GREASE? ALSO, VERY ROUGH "CLUNK" WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VICE-VERSA. SECOND GEAR SHUDDERING AT TIMES UNDER SLIGHT ACCELERATION. ROUGH SHIFTING RANDOM, BUT IT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. I'VE BEEN TO ONE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR SOME ASSISTANCE...THE FIRST TIME I GOT BASICALLY NOWHERE. THIS TIME, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD SAYS SHE CANNOT TALK TO ME AT THE TIMES I AM AVAILABLE. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HIDING THE PROBLEMS WITH REFUSAL TO "FIX" THE TRUCK. I KNOW I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER F-150 OWNERS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING. I'VE TALKED TO A LOCAL AREA DRIVE-TRAIN SPECIALTY SHOP. HE SAID TO BRING IT BY AND LOOK AT IT FOR ME AT A COST. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS STILL WITHIN THE DRIVE-TRAIN WARRANTY...BUT FORD REFUSES TO ASSIST THEIR VERY OWN CUSTOMERS. NOT A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER ANY MORE. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK REPAIRED PERMANENTLY. OH, YES, THE DEALERSHIP DID FINALLY REPLACE THE FRONT PUMP ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR, BUT THAT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

I TOOK MY ECOBOOST POWERED TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED TSB 14-0017. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ENGINE LOOSING POWER. THIS IS WHY THE NHTSA CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION OF THE F150 ECOBOOST. THIS HAS NOT WORKED. YESTERDAY 11-7-2015 I WAS ON A 2 HOUR HIGHWAY TRIP IN RAINY CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING THE MOTOR AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT EVEN MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WAS DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE AROUND US.

UPON STARTING THE TRUCK TO RETURN HOME IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SAW THE RPMS TO BE OVER 3000. I DID NOT HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING DUE TO AC BLOWER NOISE. I CHECKED THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS TOUCHING IT AND NOTHING WAS NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF, RESTARTED, AND IT PERFORMED NORMALLY. OTHER ISSUES: 1) SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THE RADIO WOULD NOT TURN ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY ALONG WITH THE DATE/TIME DISPLAY WAS FLASHING SYMBOLS INSTEAD OF DISPLAYING ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTERS. UPON RESTARTING THE TRUCK THE DISPLAY RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE RADIO FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. 2) WHEN APPLYING FULL THROTTLE THE ENGINE BASICALLY STALLS WHICH CAN BE SOMEWHAT HAZARDOUS WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH A SHORT ENTRANCE RAMP AND HEAVY TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST IN DECEMBER 2012. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2013. IT WAS RAINING. I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT WHERE I HAD MADE A COMPLETE STOP. I COULD NOT GAIN SPEED VERY WELL. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING/POPPING AND THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE SAME HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. HOWEVER, EACH TIME WAS WHILE IT WAS RAINING. NEVER HAS HAD A PROBLEM IN FAIR WEATHER. I EXPERIENCE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, MANY TIMES WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE OR WHILE TRYING TO OVERCOME A VEHICLE. THE FRONT-END LURCHES, I LOSE SPEED DRAMATICALLY, THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER TO CHOKE OUT OR BLOW UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE EACH TIME. ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A MISFIRE. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DURING ONE TRIP OFTEN, BUT ALWAYS WHEN IT RAINS. CONTINUOUS OCCURRENCES AND BEGINNING TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 2 DEALERSHIPS, NEITHER OF WHICH CAN DETECT ANY DTCS OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM. OFFER NO ADVICE OTHER THAN TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY AFRAID THAT THE PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. HAVE NOT HAD ONE YET, BUT HAVE A HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS SO PERSISTENT THAT I AM CONSIDERING TRADING VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR CO. ON 07/30/2013. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON HWY 87 SOUTH TOWARD SOUTHPORT, NC NEAR SANDYFIELD, CLOSE TO THE HYW 11 INTERSECTION, I PERFORMED A HARD ACCELERATION TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY SHAKING. IF THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING WAS GOING FASTER THAN 50 MPH I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT AROUND HIM. WHILE I DID NOT STOP, I DID SLOW THE VEHICLE TO UNDER 50 MPH TO WHICH THE ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AS DID THE SHAKING. THE WEATHER WAS PARTLY SUNNY WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY.

I WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR WHEN MY ENGINE STALLED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 TO 50 MPH WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AROUND THE CAR AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOST POWER. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED. IT HAD BEEN RAINING ALOT AND WAS HUMID AND WET ALTHOUGH NOT ACTIVELY RAINING AT TIME OF MALFUNCTION. I DRIVE A NEW FORD F150 V6 WITH ECOBOOST TECHNOLOGY. *TR

6/08/13 WHILE TRAVELING FROM KINGSVILLE TO RIO HONDO AT 6 AM FOR A FISHING TRIP, I ACCELERATED HARD TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK. MY F150 SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY IN THE BACK END, AND I FELT A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED EXCESSIVELY BEFORE EXTINGUISHING. THE TRUCK RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION FAIRLY QUICKLY, WITHIN 5 SEC. I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS, MAKING SURE TO LIMIT MY SPEED AND MAKE NO MORE HARD ACCELERATIONS. THE WEATHER WAS RAINY AND WET CONDITIONS. I INTENDED ON INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ONCE I RETURNED HOME. 6/09/13 THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN UNTIL MY DEPARTURE ON SUN, 2 PM. ON MY WAY HOME I WAS FORCED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ON HWY 77 ON RAMP FROM FM 107 TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR, THE LOSS OF POWER WAS MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE LAST EPISODE AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL ONTO SIDE OF HWY 77 TO AVOID BEING STRUCK BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON. THE TRUCK RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION; HOWEVER THE LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENED WAS MUCH LONGER THAN BEFORE. I WAS CERTAIN I WAS GOING TO BE STRANDED AND IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO TAKE EMERGENCY MEASURES. THE WEATHER WAS HOT AND DRY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON I-69 IN MICHIGAN BETWEEN LANSING AND FLINT, I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO THE PASSING LANE TO ALLOW MERGING TRAFFIC FROM THE ON-RAMP ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY. IN ORDER TO CHANGE LANES, I USED FIRM ACCELERATION TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE FASTER VEHICLES IN THE PASSING LANE. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. ALL FORWARD ACCELERATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE THE ENGINE SPUTTERED FOR 45-60 SECONDS AFTER THE EVENT UNTIL POWER WAS RESTORED. ONE WEEK AFTER I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE TRUCK, THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ON A SIMILAR TRIP ON THE WAY TO TOLEDO AROUND THE DUNDEE EXIT ON I-23. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 400 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THIS WAS IN EARLY MAY 2013. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE TSB REPLACING THE CHARGED AIR COOLER AND UPDATING THE SOFTWARE IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THIS CAN BE REPEATED ON ANY TRIP OF SIGNIFICANT DURATION ON A RAINY DAY. THE TSB DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT LET ME WIFE DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT BE AS WELL EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH AN EVENT LIKE THIS. I FEEL CHEATED BY FORD, AND I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR ATTEMPTS OF FIXING THIS. FURTHERMORE, I KNOW EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE IS TAKING IN LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER THROUGH THE INTAKE, AND THIS IS CATASTROPHIC FOR ENGINE LIFE AND LONGEVITY. PLEASE PURSUE RECALL EFFORTS NOW ON THIS HORRIBLE ENGINE. *TR
