I OWN A 2011 FORD F150 THAT WAS UNDER A TRANSMISSION RECALL THAT WAS VERY SERIOUS IN NATURE: 16V248000 -FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 FORD F-150 TRUCKS, 2012 FORD EXPEDITION, LINCOLN NAVIGATOR, AND FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT MAY UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED. I HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED AND EVER SINCE, I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. THE TRUCK TAKES OFF VERY SLOWLY AS IT ACCELERATES (VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC). ON TOP OF THAT IT HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP (EBY FORD IN GOSHEN, IN) HAS BEEN NO HELP WHATSOEVER. NOW, ON TOP OF NOT GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF, I NOW HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE (THAT'S ALSO BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM): +FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 15N05. MY VEHICLE HAS 152,XXX MILES ON IT AND THEY'RE SAYING THEY CAN'T COVER THIS BECAUSE IT'S OVER 150,000. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS VEHICLE IN A A SAFE DRIVING CONDITION SO THAT I SOMEONE DOESN'T END UP SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. PLEASE HELP! THESE THINGS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THERE IS ONLY ONE OPTION BELOW FOR "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?". I SELECTED TODAY, HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS PERFORMED (MENTIONED ABOVE).

IT IS DOWN SHIFTING UNSAFELY AND UNCONTROLLED, ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. IT DOWNSHIFTED SUDDENLY TO GEAR 1 AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH ON A CITY STREET. NEARLY LOST CONTROL BEFORE I COULD GET PULLED OVER AND STOPPED. IT WAS LIKE THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED AND I SKIDDED WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES. LATER IT STARTED TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 5TH GEAR AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE. ODOMETER WENT BLANK, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO MPH AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED BY ODOMETER. HAD A CODE MACHINE READING THAT SHOWED A FAULT CODE FOR OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE BY VIN #. FOUND ONLINE WHERE FORD HAS A RECALL # F-150-19S07, THEY SAY THAT DOESN+T COVER MY TRUCK DISSPITE THEIR WEBSITE INDICATING IT COVERS MY MODEL, MAKE, MONTH AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE AND PLANT WHERE IT WAS BUILT AT. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK SAFELY IN IT+S CURRENT CONDITION AND IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND TRANSMISSIONS.

I AM AN OWNER OF A FORD F-150 PLATINUM. THE VIN IS (XXXXX). I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A RECALL WITH FIX FOR MY PICKUP LAST YEAR. I TOOK MY PICKUP WITH THE NOTICE THAT I HAD RECEIVED IN THE MAIL TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BAUGH FORD IN CLANTON, ALABAMA. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON OR AROUND SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PRIOR TO THIS REPAIR, I HAD NOT NOTICED OR EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, FOLLOWING THE REPAIR, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM FORGETTING WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. THIS SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING SLOWLY AS IN A PARKING LOT, THEN LETTING OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. AS SOON AS THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A BRIEF PAUSE FOLLOWED BY A LOUD METAL TO METAL POP AND JOLT AS IF SOMEONE HAD HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED INFREQUENTLY AND I COULD NOT MAKE THIS HAPPEN, NOT REPRODUCEABLE. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER LAST. ON JUNE 15, 2019, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-65 NORTH JUST NORTH OF MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO MOMENTARILY SLIP OR GO INTO NEUTRAL. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS STILL IN DRIVE POSITION AND REMAINED IN THAT POSITION THROUGH OUT THIS INCIDENT. THEN IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING GEARS. AT SOME POINT THE REAR TIRES LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND I AND THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY LEFT THE INTERSTATE. I WENT DOWN A STEEP EMBANKMENT. I FINALLY MANAGED TO STOP MY VEHICLE, WITHOUT HITTING ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR HIGHWAY SIGNAGE, NEAR A SECONDARY ROAD. I THEN MOVED THE GEAR SELECTOR FROM DRIVE INTO THE PARK POSITION AND THEN BACK TO THE DRIVE POSITION AND DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO A SAFER LOCATION. I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND WALKED AROUND AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO ERROR/MALFUNCTION CODES. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL (19S07/19V-075) FOR INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) CAUSING UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. I HAD THE DEALER REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AS PER THE RECALL. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN THAT A NEW RECALL WAS ISSUED (19S19) FOR SIMILAR FORD TRUCKS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL RECALL DID NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS NEW RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK STILL SOMETIMES UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR WORK WAS COMPLETED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE INITIAL RECALL (19S07/19V-075) COMPLETELY RESOLVED THE PROBLEM (IT DID NOT IN MY CASE) OR WHETHER ADDITIONAL RECALL WORK IS NEEDED AS WITH 19S19.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS UPDATE SOFTWARE RATHER THAN FIXING THE REAL ISSUE: THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME. THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THIS PART SHOULD BE REPLACED ON EVERY AFFECTED VEHICLE BEFORE THEY EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM RATHER THAN AFTER.

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

MOLDED LEAD FRAME AND OSS REPLACEMENT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME RECALL 16N02. I EXPERIENCED THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND WOULD ONLY DRIVE IN FIRST GEAR. I DROVE TO A MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSER THAN THE FORD DEALER AND WAS OFF OF BACK ROADS SO I COULD DRIVE IN FIRST GEAR. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 19S07 WHICH IS FOR PROGRAMMING THE OSS SENSOR. I ASKED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD NO BY CRESCENT FORD & TRUCKS. THEY SAID 19S07 IS FOR PROGRAMMING ONLY. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE LEAD FRAME, CONNECTOR, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND THE SPEED SENSOR.

S19S07 / NHTSA RECALL 19V-075 IS CAUSING FAILURE ON TRANSMISSION WITH NO ISSUES. I FOUND ONLINE THAT MY 2011 F150 WAS DUE FOR THE 19S07 RECALL 19V-075 OR THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS). THIS RECALL HAS TO DO WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND "AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR CAN CAUSE AN ABRUPT WHEEL SPEED REDUCTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN." I HAVE DRIVEN AND OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE BRAND NEW AND IT HAD 16 MILES ON IT. I'VE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION REPAIR OR PROBLEM OUT OF IT SINCE I'VE HAD IT. HOWEVER, NOT WANTING TO RISK HAVING AN ISSUE, I TOOK IT IN TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THIS RECALL, THEY THEN UPDATED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WITH SOFTWARE TO PREVENT THIS. I RECEIVED THE TRUCK BACK AND DROVE IT HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I STARTED THE ENGINE, PULLED THE COLUMN SHIFTER INTO REVERSE, AND THE ORANGE LIGHT FOR THE SHIFTER DIAL ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. NOTHING HAPPENED AT FIRST AND THEN IT SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER LIGHT NEVER LIT UP UNTIL I PUT IT BACK IN TO PARK AND THE ORANGE SHIFTER LIGHT REAPPEARED. I THEN PULLED THE SHIFTER LEVER DOWN IN TO DRIVE AND AGAIN, THE ORANGE SHIFTER LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO INTO GEAR FOR A MOMENT AND THEN SUDDENLY SLAMMED INTO DRIVE.

ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2019, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2011 FORD F150 VIN#(XXXX) ON THE HIGHWAY. DURING THIS TIME, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70MPH. ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I FELT A LARGE KNOCK IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR INTO 1ST GEAR, ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT WARNING! THIS ACTION CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP, AND THE TRUCK TEMPORARILY SKID OUT OF CONTROL, AND DROP SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NOT ANYONE NEAR ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS CRASH. ALSO, THANKFULLY, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, AND I LUCKILY DID NOT HAVE MY 5-YEAR-OLD OR 2-YEAR-OLD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME.

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

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

WAS TOLD THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PROBLEM ESTABLISHED IN 2016 WITH MY YEAR TRUCK BUT WAS TOLD BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS MADE IN MARCH OF 2011 IN KANSAS IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. IF IT WAS MADE IN DETROIT IN MARCH OF 2011 IT WOULD BE COVERED. OUTRAGEOUS. AFTER RESEARCH, I FIND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF FORD F150. ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AND ARE STILL OCCURRING BUT I CAN GET NO RESPONSE FROM FORD AS TO WHY THIS IS NOT BEING FIXED UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WANT SOMEONE TO KNOW BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS IF ONE HAS NOT OCCURRED TO DATE.

ON THE MORNING OF JANUARY 17TH 2019 I WAS TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON TX-114 BETWEEN N KIMBALL AVE AND E SOUTLAKE BLVD TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHEN MY 2011 F150 DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND THE REAR END STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT. I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND KEPT THE SPEED BELOW 30MPH AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE GRAPEVINE FORD DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO FORD RECALL 16S19, NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 16V248000. A FEW YEARS AGO THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD AND THE LEAD FRAME WAS REPLACED AT 5 STAR FORD IN LEWISVILLE, TX.

SUDDEN AND RANDOM DOWNSHIFTING. WHILE IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR, COMPLETELY AT RANDOM. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR LURCH AND "JUMP" IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED DECREASES GREATLY. HAPPENS AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INDUCED BY "HARD" DRIVING OR GENTLE DRIVING. CANNOT FORCE IT TO OCCUR. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO DEALER TO BE CHECKED AS NO CODES (ENGINE LIGHT OR GEAR) APPEARS.

LATEST INCIDENT, TRANSMISSION MADE HARD SHIFT, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND MPG INDICATOR ALL WENT DEAD AND THE "WRENCH" ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. READ CODES, CAME UP WITH P0720 AND P0722. AFTER RESTARTING, ALL GAUGES WORKED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE WITH CAUTION. RESEARCHED RECALL NOTICES, FOUND 16N02 "MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED WARRANTEE", BUT IT ONLY COVERS F150'S MANUFACTURED ON CERTAIN DATES AT CERTAIN PLANTS. MY TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME TYPE AND MODEL NUMBER....6R80 AS ALL F150 ECOBOOST MADE IN 2011 AND 2012. I CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED MY VIN DID NOT SHOW UP UNDER ANY RECALLS, AND I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF "STIPULATIONS". I CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT FORD WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN CRITERIA, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME AT ALL MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS. IF A TRANSMISSION MODEL IS FAULTY, IT IS FAULTY REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND IT DISTURBING THAT FORD WILL ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEM FIXING THEM, OR WORSE STILL, PASSING OFF THE COST TO THE OWNERS, MANY OF WHOM CANNOT EASILY FORK OUT THE MONEY OR TIME TO HAVE THEM FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRING ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I RECENTLY LOOKED UP ANY RECALLS INVOLVED WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST THAT CAME UP WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR F150 OF MY YEAR. TO BE HONEST I ONLY LOOKED IT UP BECAUSE MY TRUCK SHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 1ST WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS LEAVING A GOLF COURSE AND THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 3RD AND BACK TO 1ST AGAIN. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING CRAZY ON BOTH OCCURRENCES, JUMPING 20MPH AT SOME POINTS WHILE I KNOW I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES AT LOW CITY STREET SPEEDS.

THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AS A SLOW RATE OF SPEED 20-35 MPH. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. THE TRANSMISSION RECEIVES NO POWER AND THE TRUCK WILL ONLY COAST FORWARD . IMMEDIATE SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THE TRUCK THEN HAS POWER. THE PROBLEM MAY REPEAT ITSELF WITHIN MILES OR IT MAY NOT REPEAT FOR DAYS/WEEKS. THIS HAPPEN 18 MONTHS AGO, 4 MONTHS AGO, AND 2 DAYS AGO.

MY 2011 FORD F150 LARIAT 5.0L HAS 100,000 MILES AT WHICH TIME I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. T HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS. TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AND TRANSMISSION JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE. VERY SCARY AND VERY UNSAFE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ERROR CODE WHICH WAS P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT. I CHECKED MY VIN AND DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY TRUCK. I CALLED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS WHO TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND READ ON EDMONDS.COM, CARS.COM, AND NHTSA THAT FORD HAS A RECALL EFFECTING 2011 FORD F150S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION BUILT BETWEEN AUG 19TH, 2011 AND MARCH 09, 2012. MINE WAS BUILT WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION WITH A BUILD DATE OF SEP 6TH, 2011. BASED ON WHAT I READ AND THE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE RECALL I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED. I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE SO I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED CASE# CAF15213386. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE FIX APPLIED WHICH WAS TO UPDATE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE COSTING ME $180. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS WOULD NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM. TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY LEAD FRAME WHICH WOULD COST $1300 BUT THEY CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL NEXT WEEK. THE RECALL NOTICE I READ INDICATED THE PCM SOFTWARE WOULD BE NO COST UNDER THE RECALL AND IF CODE PRESENTED ITSELF FORD WOULD PROVIDE A ONE TIME REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAD FRAME AT NO CHARGE WITHIN 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO SEE WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WILL HAVE THE WORK DONE AND SAVE MY RECEIPTS IN HOPES THAT I WILL BE REIMBURSED AFTER THIS CASE AND FORD CASE ARE RESOLVED.

IT ALSO SHIFTS HARD SOME OF THE TIME WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I TOOK MY PICK-UP TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND THEY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE FOR $100.00 NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT ON JANUARY 31, 2018. WHILE DRIVING ON I 70 HEADING TOWARDS KANSAS CITY, MO FROM INDEPENDENCE, MO, MY F-150 UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH. THERE WAS A LARGE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND MY TRUCK THAT ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHEN MY TRUCK SLAMMED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE TRACTOR TRAILER SWERVED INTO THE HIGH-SPEED LANE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. NO INJURIES OR COLLISIONS OCCURRED. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF MY TRANSMISSION. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD MY VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN BLUE SPRINGS, MO. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED UNDER THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT ON JUNE 28, 2011, WHICH FALLS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME STATED IN THE RECALL. THIS RECALL ALSO COVERS THE POWER TRAIN FOR UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFTS FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS THROWN INTO A LOW GEAR AT A HIGH SPEED, IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE CREATED BLEW OUT THE TORQUE CONVERTOR AND FRONT SEAL OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REQUEST GUIDANCE FROM CORPORATE FORD ON THIS ISSUE AND IS REQUESTING $5,550 FOR A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY.

THE TRUCK ALSO EXPERIENSES A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. AFTER THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE NONE OF THE OTHER GEARS LIGHT UP WHEN I CHANGE TO OTHER GEARS AND IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE THE TRUCK HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF POWER. AND STILL WITH THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, IF I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND STEP ON THE GAS A LITTLE BIT THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN FOR A ABOUT 6 ECONDS. THIS ONLY GOES AWAY IF I TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND BACK ON, BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WILL HAVE ALL THE ISSUES AGAIN. AND THERE IS NO READING OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE EITHER. I CONNECTED A SCANNER TO THE TRUCK TO DIAGNOSE IT AND IT GAVE ME THE CODE: P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT (PRNDL INPUT) I HAD THE TRUCK SCANNED ALSO BY DIFFERENT SCANNERS AND ALL 3 GIVE THE SAME CODE.

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

I'M HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION. IT HAS CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO FORCE A TEMPORARY DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR. AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ABRUPT SPEED REDUCTION THAT CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. FORD HAS RECALLED SOME OF THE F150'S BUT HAS LEFT OTHERS LIKE MINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE OUT OF THE RECALL.

2011 FORD F-150 XLT SUPERCREW 4X2. I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN NORMAL CONDITIONS EARLIER THIS WEEK AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ACCELERATING AFTER PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NOTICED THIS VERY INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT THIS ISSUE WAS CONSTANT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS, BUT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE PU SEEMED TO BE OPERATING AT ABOUT 30-40% OF THE EXPECTED PERFORMANCE LEVEL. I TOOK INTO THE FORD SERVICE DEALER, NORTHSIDE FORD, AND THEY MENTIONED IT MIGHT BE THE PCM BUT THEY NEEDED TO START BY REPLACING THE O2 DOWNSTREAM SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE O2 DOWNSTREAM SENSOR AND RE-TESTED AND IT THEM INDICATED THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 112,500 MILES SO IT SEEMS ODD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (12V190000) BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED AND IT SEEMS TO BE EXHIBITING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AS I BELIEVE IT HAS A SIMILARITIES TO THE PREVIOUS RECALLS.

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

THIS CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, THE "PRND" LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PUT INTO DRIVE, THE GEAR WOULD ENGAGE, BUT IT SEEMED TO BE UNDER LIMITED POWER. WHEN GEARS A CHANGED, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD.

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

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPSA) IS LEAKING WATER AND POWER STEERING FLUID. IT'S MAKING NOISES AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT SINCE THIS IS MY MAIN TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK AND FAMILY. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PEOPLE SAYING THEIR WHEELS HAVE LOCKED UP AND JUST MISSED FATAL ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY DOING HIGHER SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY TRAVEL. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH BEFORE THIS PART IS RECALLED? TRUCK COMES TO A QUICK STOP LIKE ITS JUMPING GEARS.

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. TRUCK SHIFTS GEARS ERRATICALLY, REVERSE LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SHIFTING IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. AT TIMES THE REVERSE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING FORWARD. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURE DATE FOR THE RECALL BEGINS IN AUGUST OF 2011, MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN JUNE OF 2011. THEREFORE MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T CHOOSE TO FIX EVERY VEHICLE AFFECTED BY THIS INSTEAD OF JUST A FEW.

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

EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND YEAR.I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BEING DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND ON THE FORUMS. I DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT WAS LEFT FOR 36 HOURS AND IT DOWNSHIFTED AFTER GOING 25 MPH. I COASTED BACK INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED, WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT EVENTUALLY GAVE ME A MAINT ERROR (YELLOW WRENCH) I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER IT WAS SHUT OFF OVERNIGHT IF WAS FINE THE NEXT DAY AND NO ERROR CODE. I HAD A MECHANIC PUT A SCANNER ON THE TRUCK AND HE COULD NOT PULL THE ERROR CODE. I HAVE USED IT SPARINGLY FOR 3 DAYS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I AM JUST WORRIED, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE PLOWING INTO ME WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IF I AM ON A HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENS. I CALLED FORD CORP AND THEY SAID SINCE I AM NOT ON THE RECALL PER MY VIN (EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR 2011 AND TRANSMISSION) SO I AM ON MY OWN. I HAVE IT DOCUMENTED WITH FORD AND THE DEALER.

THE RECALL ALSO INCLUDES THE 2012 FORD MUSTANG AND LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. 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," FORD SAID IN A STATEMENT. "DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, THE DRIVER COULD EXPERIENCE AN ABRUPT SPEED REDUCTION THAT COULD CAUSE THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE OR LOCK UP. "THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." FORD SAID IT IS AWARE OF THREE ACCIDENTS, BUT NO REPORTS OF INJURIES, LINKED TO THE RECALL. AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION. THE INFO ABOVE IS COPIED FROM EDMUNDS.COM THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME THIS MORNING. DRIVING 68MPH REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. TRUCKED FISHTAILED.

ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AFTER STARTING MY FORD F-150 ECOBOOST I EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. MY SPOUSE COMPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE "TOOK OFF" AFTER SHE PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE IN THE DRIVEWAY. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER ON 3/16/15 SAYING THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. I TOLD THEM IT FELT LIKE I WAS BEING PUSHED INTO THE INTERSECTION.

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

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

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

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

THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED MY TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE VALVE BODY WIRING HARNESS IS BAD AND THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $850.00 TO REPAIR. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011 MODELS BUT NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ITS SERIOUS. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING 75 MPH AND MY REAR LOCKED UP ON ME,IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP INCLUDING INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AND POSSIBLE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN HIGH HUMIDITY. PUSHED THE PEDAL DOWN TO PASS A COUPLE TRUCKS GOING UP A MOUNTAIN AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MISFIRING AND STUTTERING. THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WITH FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FAILED TO PASSED THE TRUCKS CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION BY PRODUCING UNEXPECTED RESULTS. THIS PROBLEM IS DETAILED IN FORD'S TSB 13-8-1. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS CONDITION.

2011 F150, 3.5L ECOBOOST MOTOR, VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND LOSES POWER DURING ACCELERATION. DANGEROUS TO TRY AND PASS VEHICLES OR EVEN CHANGE LANES TO PULL OVER AS THERE IS POWER LOSS FROM ENGINE. TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED FORD TSB 13-08-01. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE MISFIRE CONTINUED, AFTER RETURNING TO DEALER THE VEHICLE SHOWED CODE RELATED TO SAME TSB AFTER IT HAD BEEN APPLIED. DEALER CLEARED CODE. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND SO FAR HAS NOT RECURRED. I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUES ON MANY FORD F150 FORUMS. I WOULD SAY FORD REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A SEMI WHO WAS APPROACHING IN THE RIGHT LANE. I HARD ACCELERATED, BUT THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. I HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WAS FORCED TO PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND MERGE TO THE BREAK-DOWN LANE TO AVOID BEING RUN COMPLETELY OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHILE IN 6TH GEAR AND I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT TO 5TH GEAR TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM VIBRATING APART. LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER (WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN 5TH GEAR) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO BE SHIFTED BACK INTO 6TH WITHOUT ANY VIBRATION. THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. ABOVE WAS ONLY AN EXPLANATION OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED (UNDER WARRANTY) WHERE ISSUE WAS DISCUSSED WITH FORD, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO "REPRODUCE" THE PROBLEM...

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY 694 NORTH, I HAD TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF A SEMI APPROACHING ME FROM BEHIND, I GAVE THE TRUCK FULL THROTTLE BUT THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT QUIT OR JUST HAD NO POWER LEFT. THE TRUCK STRUGGLED TO REACH 55MPH, AND WITHIN SECONDS I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED AND ALMOST RAN OFF THE HIGHWAY, DO TO THE FACT THAT MY TRUCK HAD NO POWER. AFTER I MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT 3 MILES WHILE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. DURING THIS TIME IT FELT AS THOUGH MY TRUCK HAD LOST 50% OF ITS POWER.

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

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

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

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

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

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

IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND FLASH THE ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, THE ISSUE CLEARED UP. DEALERSHIP PULLED CODE THEN PERFORMED A TSB WHICH INSTALLED A SHROUD OVER THE CAC. INCIDENT TWO ONE YEAR AFTER FIRST REPAIR: SAME SCENARIO AS FIRST INCIDENT - PULLING OUT OF A TOLL BOOTH AFTER DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. A MINUTE LATER IT RECOVERED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. AFTER AN ARGUMENT WITH THE DEALER (THEY COULD NOT PULL A CODE), THEY ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW CAC AND SHROUD. INCIDENT THREE TWO WEEKS AFTER SECOND REPAIR: PULLED OUT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. TRUCK LOST POWER AS IT DID IN FIRST TWO INCIDENTS. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED THEN REMAINED ON STEADY. HAD TO ABORT THE PASS. VEHICLE IS RETURNING TO DEALERSHIP PENDING DIAGNOSTICS. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE DESIGN IN THESE VEHICLES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IMAGINE PULLING OUT OF A TOLL BOOTH IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK AND LOOSING ALL POWER TO MOVE. NOT GOOD. THE VALUE AND SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED. IT NEEDS A DEFINITIVE FIX OR REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AS THE CONTACT PASSED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ENGAGED WITH FORCE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOUR TIMES AND ON ONE OCCASION, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE SPARK PLUG COILS WERE ALSO BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

ATTEMPTED TO PASS A CAR. SPEED AT TIME OF ATTEMPT WAS 55MPH. TIME 2:20 P.M. AND PARTLY CLOUDY. TWO LANE ROAD BUT HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PASS OR AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. PUSHED DOWN ON ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE ACTUALLY DECREASED SPEED/SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. I LET UP ON GAS PEDAL, MAINTAINED SPEED THEN WAS GRADUALLY ABLE TO PASS. THINK THE TURBO HAD STALLED. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. AT THAT TIME I WAS MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE AND IT STALLED OUT, FOR A SHORTER DURATION. AFTER THE JULY 31 INCIDENT, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE ISSUES SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD ON THE ECO BOAST ENGINE, WHICH I HAVE. NO CODES APPEARED SO I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEN TALKED TO REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT THE SAME STORY. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I USE THE TRUCK TO TOW A 26' TRAILER. WHEN THE ECO BOAST TURBO WORKS, I HAVE PLENTY OF POWER TO MERGE OR PASS. THE ABOVE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AND I DID NOT HAVE THE TRAILER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. NOW I FEEL I CAN NOT REASONABLY DEPEND ON IT TO WORK AS IT SHOULD. I THINK IT IS THE TURBO BUT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRONIC GAS PEDAL, OR THE TRANSMISSION BUT I REALLY DO NOT THINK THESE ARE THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU.

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

Aug 07, 2013 - Macomb, MI - Power Train
ECOBOOST ENGINE. LOUD CLATTERING ON COLD START. RUNS VERY ROUGH, EXHIBITS PROPENSITY TO STALL WHEN IDLING, AND VERY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION COUPLED WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES. EXAMPLE 1: COASTING ON THE FREEWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND 40MPH, SHIFTED LANES, THEN MADE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DOWNSHIFT. ACCELERATOR WILL BE DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND TRUCK WILL REMAIN STUCK IN A LOW GEAR (LIKE 6TH) AND GO NOWHERE...ZERO ACCELERATION...AFTER A FEW MORE TRIES, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLAM INTO 2ND GEAR, SHAKING THE ENTIRE TRUCK. AT THIS POINT, THE TURBOS KICK IN AND THE TRUCK TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET. CREATES 2 DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, A POTENTIAL REAR-END ACCIDENT BY THE LANE CHANGE WITHOUT ACCELERATION, AND THEN THE SUDDEN, RAPID, UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION OF BEING RANDOMLY THROWN INTO 2ND GEAR. SEEN VARIOUS OTHER INCIDENTS LIKE THIS IN OTHER SCENARIOS AND VARIOUS GEARS. ACCELERATING OUT OF A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, OR OUT OF A TURN, IS AN EASY WAY TO SEE THE PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS BASICALLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE/DOWNSHIFT ON DEMAND. EXAMPLE 2: STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I THEN PROCEED INTO INTERSECTION...ACCELERATION IS VERY SLOW, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TURBOS KICK IN RESULTING IN RAPID UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION. OFTEN TIMES, THE WHEELS WILL SPIN, AND IF THE ROAD IS DRY, THE TRUCK WILL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ALL OVER THE ROAD! ACCELERATOR WILL IN THE SAME POSITION THE ENTIRE TIME. I HAVE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TOWARDS CARS THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO GET THAT CLOSE TO. I NOW HAVE TO STAY EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM CARS TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION. FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS FREQUENT NOW, BUT INCONSISTENT. I HAVE 2 KIDS IN BOOSTER SEATS, AND NOW I HAVE TO BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN I DRIVE WITH THEM IN THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE.

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

MORE NOTICEABLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS CLIMBING A SLIGHT INCLINE ON THE ROAD WHILE LIGHTLY ACCELERATING TO MAINTAIN 60 MPH. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND I WENT FOR A RIDE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE NOTICED THE SHUTTERING. HE SAID THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO CODES TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FINALLY THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE ENGINEERS ARE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION.

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

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

WAS ABLE TO COAST AND DRIVE SLOW TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND IT SEEMED OK BUT THE SHUDDERING HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CODE WAS PULLED AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME (SHUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER) AGAIN AT 30K MILES 3/4/2013 WHERE THIS TIME THEY REPLACED A IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG.

THE DEALERSHIP SO FAR HAS BEEN FIXING WHATEVER THE CODE STATES, HOWEVER THERE IS A UNDERLYING CONDITION THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG HWY 95 IN GEORGIA FOR SEVERAL HOURS EARLY ONE MORNING. I WENT TO PASS A SEMI AND LOST ALL POWER. THE TRUCK RPMS JUMPED UP WHILE THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED TO 4TH GEAR BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO GET BACK INTO MY LANE IN AN ABRUPT WAY CAUSING TRAFFIC TO RE-ACT AND ALLOW ME BACK IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES SINCE THEN. FORD HAS BEEN ISSUING TSB FOR A FIX BUT NONE OF THEM WORK. THIS IS ONLY HAPPENING ON THE 3.5L ECO-BOOST MOTOR. THEY ARE NOW IN THEIR 3RD MODEL YEAR OF THIS TRUCK AND ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE TIMING OF WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS UN-PREDICTABLE AND OFTEN LEAVES NO CODES FOR THE DEALER TO TROUBLESHOOT, SO YOU GET SENT ON YOUR WAY WITH "COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM". FORD HAS BEEN CLAIMING IT IS CONDENSATION IN THE INTER-COOLER, HAS ISSUED COMPUTER UPDATES NUMEROUS TIMES, NOW THEY HAVE RELEASED AND UPGRADED INTER-COOLER, BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL HAPPENING.

MY TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE ECOBOOST 3.5L ENGINE. TWICE NOW I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND HAD THE TRUCK LOSE POWER AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE FIRST TIME WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE WARM (75 DEGREES F) WITH LIGHT RAIN. I PULLED OUT TO PASS AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACTED AS IF THE GAS WAS SHUT OFF. IT THEN BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER VIOLENTLY AS IF THE REAR AXEL WAS BEING RIPPED FROM BENEATH IT. I WAS ABLE TO FALL BACK BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS, OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK, IT SEEMED TO RUN NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECH INSPECTED THE TRUCK AND STATED IT IS A PROBLEM FORD IS AWARE OF (IN WET CONDITIONS), BUT HAS NO FIXES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE FROM A REST STOP INTO A SINGLE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THE WEATHER WAS COOL (45 DEGREES F), DRY AND SUNNY. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK ACTED AS IT DID ON THE FIRST INSTANCE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF OF THE LANE BETWEEN TWO LARGE CONSTRUCTION PYLONS IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING STRUCK BY A TRACTOR/TRAILER. THE SUPPLIED DATES, MILEAGE AND SPEED WERE FROM THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN I-55, TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER ON A TRIP FROM ST. LOUIS, MO TO GULF SHORES, AL, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING MULTIPLE HOURS IN THE RAIN WHEN IN JACKSON, MS, I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS TO ALLOW OTHER VEHICLES TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I RE-APPLIED THE GAS, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED AND DROP FROM AROUND 60MPH TO 35MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER LETTING OFF AND RE-APPLYING GAS ABOUT THREE TIMES THE VEHICLE FINALLY RECOVERED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. LUCKILY THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY WERE ABLE TO AVOID ME AND I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED OR OTHERWISE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

BEGAN TO NOTICE ROUGH SHIFTING A LOWER SPEEDS (30 - 45) AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES. OVER TIME IT BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED AND FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS LUGGING AT THIS SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES A SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING UP OR DOWN AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING A PROBLEM GETTING INTO GEAR. LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER FOR 3 DAYS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I THINK THE STREETS THEY WERE DRIVING WERE SO ROUGH THAT THEY COULDN'T FEEL THE SHUDDER. I WAS TOLD THAT IT MAY BE A PROBLEM THE COMPUTER IS HAVING SYNCHRONIZING THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE RPM'S. DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AT 20,000 MILES NOW.

SURGING AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DOWNSHIFTING AND REQUIRES HARD BRAKING TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM MOVING INTO AN INTERSECTION, OR A CAR STOPPED AHEAD GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST HIT THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME.

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

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

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

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

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

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