  1. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (AROUND 70 MPH) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN-SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR. THE REAR TIRES BRIEFLY LOCKED UP, BUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MANAGED. 2. WHILE DRIVING, BOTH IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 5TH. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT BELOW 3RD GEAR WHEN BROUGHT TO A STOP. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN WOULD RESET THE PROBLEM. THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0. THE ODOMETER AND OTHER DIGITAL READINGS IN THE CENTER CLUSTER ON THE DASH SHOWED ALL DASHES. AFTER SEVERAL OF THESE EVENTS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. 3. AFTER ONE OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN 2 ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSIS. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07 WAS PERFORMED IN MARCH 2019. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S19 WAS PERFORMED IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE FIRST EVENT, BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.

  NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN SHIFTING TIMES AND IN SOME CASES SLIPPING/MISSING GEARS. THIS OCCURS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING AND REGULAR DRIVING AND MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, INCREASE IN SPEED WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, OR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS. DECREASE OF POWER IS NOTICED WHEN STARTING AT A STOPPED POSITION AND A HESITATION. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR MANUFACTURER RECALL 19S07 (HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS?VIN=1FTFW1ET6DKF[XXX]#VIN) AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY RECEIVED NOTICE NOT TO REPROGRAM 2013 F150'S WITH A 3.5L ENGINE AND THAT NEW PROGRAMMING HAD TO BE DEVELOPED FOR THESE VEHICLES. I ALSO RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE (NOT LISTED IN NHTSA) WHERE A SPEED SENSOR FAILURE MAY OCCUR WHICH REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION (SEE ATTACHED). WHEN I'VE DESCRIBED THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT SYMPTOMS OF EITHER OF THE RECALLS AND WOULD NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR UNDER THE RECALLS. THE ISSUES WERE FIRST NOTICED AROUND MAY 16, 2019 AND HAVE BEEN NOTICED A NUMBER OF TIMES SINCE THEN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

  MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN COMPLETE FAILURE OF ONE OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES JUST BEFORE THE QUICK DISCONNECT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND UNDER ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE WAS UNEXPECTED AND ALLOWED A LARGE AMOUNT OF HOT TRANS OIL TO SPRAY ON THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND TURBO CHARGER ON THE R SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE WAS ENOUGH TO STOP TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. OIL SPRAY WAS NOTICEABLE ON THE ENTIRETY OF MY TRUCK. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A MAJOR RISK OF FIRE HAPPENING. THE VOLUME OF HOT TRANS FLUID COMBINED WITH HOT EXHAUST AND THE EVEN HOTTER TURBOS COULD EASILY IGNITE. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE ON THE F 150 TRUCKS IN THIS MODEL YEAR RANGE. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER HAD ALL LINES IN STOCK TELLS ME THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON. PLEASE NOTE THE ATTACHED PICTURE IS NOT MY ACTUAL FAILED LINE BUT THAT OF AN IDENTICAL FAILURE TO MINE FOUND ON THE INTERNET.

  HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 FORD F-150 WITH 98,500 MILES 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORK AND I HAD TO TAKE MY GIRLFRIEND TO MEET SOMEONE. AS WE WERE PULLING OUT THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED THAT ON THE GEAR INDICATOR IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER IT SHOWED I WAS IN 5TH GEAR, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE A LITTLE THINKING IT WAS A BUG IN THE CLUSTER BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY IN 5TH GEAR. I GOT TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. I PROCEEDED TO START THE TRUCK BACK UP AND PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAD SEEMED LIKE IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. ABOUT 5 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD AS I WAS GOING 60 MPH THE TRUCK LOCKED UP THE REAR TIRES AND SKIDDED INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS APPROACHING ME.

  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.

  MY TRUCK IS AFFECTED BY AN OPEN RECALL AND FORD WILL NOT FIX IT. THIS HAS ALREADY COST ALMOST $500, COMPLETELY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST WHILE I WAS DIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH. THIS CAUSED A TRANSMISSION LINE TO COMPLETELY SHEER AT THE CONNECTION. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY WERE INFORMED IN AM EMAIL FROM FORD NOT TOP FLASH THE UPDATE FOR 2013 MODELS BECAUSE IT WASN'T WORKING. IN RESPONSE, THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE LINE AND CHARGED ME FULL PRICE. NOW THE SERVICE WRENCH IS FLASHING AGAIN.

  MAY 2019 RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR CO. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NOTICE #19N01, RECEIVED SAFERTY RECALL NHTSA 19V-075/SRN 19S07. 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.

  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. ALONG WITH THIS RECALL WAS THIS FIELD SERVICE ACTION ITEMS + +FSA TITLE: TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED COVERAGE +FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 19N01 HOWEVER I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING OUT ABOUT GETTING THE REPAIRS THAT WERE CAUSED BY THIS TO BE COVERED.

  I RECEIVED MY FORD RECALL NOTICE ON THE NEED TO REPROGRAM POWER TRAIN MODULE ON OR ABOUT APRIL 1ST 2019. MY FIRST INSTANCE OF MY 2013 F150 STX SUPERCAB, GOING INTO SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT MODE AND THEN LIMP MODE (BLUE WRENCH SIGNAL) OCCURRED AROUND APRIL 12, 2019. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED BY ITSELF AND THE BLUE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. MY TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE ISSUE RESOLVED ITSELF. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 18, 2019 WHERE RECALL 19S07 6R80 (REPROGRAM POWER TRAIN MODULE) WORK WAS COMPLETED. ON MAY 17, 2019, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET (WITHOUT NOTICE OR CAUSE) MY TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DOWNSHIFT MODE, LIMP MODE AND THE BLUE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SAME AS THE FIRST INSTANCE, I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, TURNED OFF MY TRUCK, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AGAIN THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS ISSUE WAS ELECTRICAL AND NO MECHANICAL AND THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK COMPLETED BY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON 05/19/2019, I AGAIN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS TIME THE MODULE LEAD FRAME WAS REPLACED AFTER CODE P0722 WAS IDENTIFIED. I WANT THE RECORD TO REFLECT THAT THE FIRST RECALL, REPROGRAMMING OF THE POWER TRAIN MODULE DID NOT WORK, AND LEFT ME AT RISK OF A SECOND DOWNSHIFTING INCIDENT OCCURRING. MY TRUCK HAD A SECOND INCIDENT AND AFTER RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP A SECOND TIME THE LEADFRAME WAS REPLACED. I ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE DEALERSHIP'S DATA THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON 04/26/2019 IS INACCURATE. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON 04/18/2019.

AFTER RECALL FIX THE NEXT WEEK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60+MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS IN TO A LOW GEAR AND CAR ALMOST CO.ES TO A DEAD STOP ON THE FREEWAY.

THEN THE NEXT TRIP ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED A WRENCH POP UP ON THE DISPLAY AND MY SPEEDOMETER MOVING UP AND DOWN. EVENTUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WENT STRAIGHT TO ZERO, BUT STILL ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE AFTER PLACING TRUCK IN (FAKE STANDARD MODE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I PARKED CAR. 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. IDK BUT MY FAMILY WILL PARK THIS TRUCK AND NEVER DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL FIXED AGAIN THE RECALL FIX CAUSED THE PROBLEM, DIFFERENTLY DID NOT FIX. 1.5 MILLION F150 OWNERS ARE ON THE ROAD. I WILL NEVER BE BEHIND A F150 AGAIN IN CASE THE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DID.

  WAS DRIVING MY ECO BOOST WHILE TOWING A 26 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER AND WHILE IN 4TH GEAR TRUCK INSTANTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR CAUSING RPMS TO BE DANGEROUSLY HIGH. THE TRUCK/TRAILER COMBO INSTANTLY SLOWED AND TRUCK WOULD NOT ,AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY, SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. WE CONTINUED DRIVING IN FIRST GEAR FOR A SHORT DISTANCE WHEN WE SMELLED TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE STOPPED THE TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND OUR TRANSMISSION LINE HAD BUSTED WHICH LEAKED FLUID ALL OVER THE ROAD. WE HAD TRUCK TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE IS RELATED TO A CURRENT RECALL BUT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A FIX FOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER THEN CHARGED ME $568.21 TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION LINE STATING THAT FORD HAS NOT INCLUDED THE TRANSMISSION LINE FIX IN THEIR RELATED RECALL. FORD IS REFUSING TO PAY ASSOCIATED TOWING EXPENSES, AS WELL. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO LODGE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER MAKES FINAL DECISIONS. CASE ID # CAS-17653886. FORD TELLS ME I NEED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK KNOWING THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE UNTIL FORD RELEASES A FIX FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I FEEL IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WHILE DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY FOR A TRUCK THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN TO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED FORD RECALL 19S07, STATING THAT THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION WAS NOT EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS READY. SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE NOTED IN THE RECALL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE ROAD AT 55MPH - THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID ABRUPTLY, NEARLY THROWING HIM AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID 5TH GEAR WAS CRACKED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $3500 AND $5000. I CONTACTED FORD VIA THEIR WEBSITE TO TELL THEM THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT IF I HAD ISSUES I SHOULD COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE REMAINS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRED.

I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER DOWN THE STREET AFTER STOPPING AND POWER CYCLING. 3/1/2019, I WAS INFORMED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS AVAILABLE, ALL WAS WELL, AND I PICKED UP MY F150. 3/5/2019, THE F150 SHIFTED FROM HIGH TO LOW AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY FORD DEALER OF THE ONGOING ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 3/11/2019. ON 3/12/2019, I WAS INFORMED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPRODUCE. 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. THE FORD DEALER SAID THEY SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LEAD FRAME, BUT I MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE IT REPLACED. 3/14/2019 PICKED UP MY F150. THE DATE IS 3/20/2019 AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF LEADING TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM ORIGINALLY WAS THE LEAD FRAME MODULE.

THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT SPANS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE DEAL THIS AS THIS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT HAS SPANNED YEARS AND MANY MODELS AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THAT UNSUSPECTING VICTIM IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

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. AS SOON AS THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINT WITH ANDY MOHR FORD IN PLAINFIELD, IN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 26, 2019. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE PATCH FOR THE 2013 MODELS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2019. I ADVISED THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES DESCRIBED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. 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. S 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 CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE TO SEE IF IT WAS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL SO THEY ASKED ME TO SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT TO BE FIXED. 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.

TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. 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.

  VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WILL STOP WORKING WHILE MOVING AND VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE ONLY 5TH AND 3RD GEAR. IF YOU ARE PULLING OUT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL LEAVING THE POSSIBILITY FOR A CRASH. FORD REFLASHED THE PCM PER THE RECALL DIDN+T FIX THE ISSUE. NOW THE SAY THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE LEAD FRAM WHICH WAS RECALLED ON TRUCKS BEFORE THIS YEAR BUT NOT THIS TRUCK.

  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

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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.

  **OING 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.

  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.

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. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL - IT WILL SAVE LIVES.

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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  MY 2012 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.

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.

  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.

  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.

  2013 F150 DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN THE TIRES LOCKING UP AS IF I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. 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.

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.

  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.

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.

FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD ANOTHER TECHNICIAN DRIVE MY TRUCK FOR A SECOND OPINION. IT DID THE SAME THING FOR HIM. HE TOLD ME DO NOT DRIVE THIS TRUCK IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

  WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO FROM THE CURRENT MPH WHETHER THAN IS 10MPH OR 50MPH AND INSTANTLY DROP TO 0MPH. THE TRUCK WILL THEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AND VIOLENTLY THROW YOU FORWARD IN THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS A TSB OUT ON THIS: 13-6-8. THE TSB APPLIES TO 2011 - 2013 F150S.

WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING IF I GIVE IT GAS EITHER IT WON+T REV UP OR IT WILL REV UP BUT NOT ACCELERATE ALMOST LIKE IT+S IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS DOWN TO ZERO AND BOUNCES UP AND DOWN EVEN WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED AND QUITE FRANKLY I DON+T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT EITHER.

  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.

  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.

  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.

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.

  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.

  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. I WAS JUST READING AN ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT THE NHTSA MAY ORDER ANOTHER RECALL WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE 2013 MODEL.

  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.

  MY TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS WITHOUT CAUSE, SOMETIMES TO 1ST GEAR, AND ON ONE OCCASION MY WHEELS SKIDDED (WHICH WAS WITNESSED BY MY NEIGHBOR WHO WAS WALKING HIS DOG AND WAS STARTLED BY THE SKID). 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.

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.

  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.

  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. THIS TOO IS DANGEROUS FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT THE ENTIRE INTERSTATE AS THE TRAFFIC HALTS DUE TO THE FORD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING DOWN AND UP SHIFTING.

ONCE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TRANSMISSION IS BACK IN 1ST GEAR, BUT THIS ISN'T ALWAYS AN OPTION WHEN CARS ARE APPROACHING RAPIDLY FROM BEHIND.

  I EXPERIENCED THIS SEVERAL TIME BUT TO A LESSER DEGREE AND AT SLOWER SPEEDS THAN THIS INSTANCE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN SUDDENLY MY F-150 SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR INTO 2ND. IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE HAD SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. I WAS JOLTED FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BREAKS AND SWERVE TO AVOID ME. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GET MY TRUCK TO CHANGE OUT OF 2ND GEAR. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT SEEMED NORMAL FOR A SECOND THEN WENT INTO "LIMP HOME MODE." I THEN DROVE IN "LIMP HOME MODE" FROM WHERE I WAS TO THE CLOSEST TRANSMISSION SHOP BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS 4,000 MILES OVER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE SHOP TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL GEARS WITHIN MY TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS CAUSE BY A FAULTY LEAD FRAME. THIS HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY CARELESS AND DANGEROUS OF FORD TO KNOWINGLY NOT RECALL A PART DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

VEHICLE REAR TIRES CHIRPED/SQUEALED AND VEHICLE LURCHED DUE TO ENGINE BRAKING EFFECT VS. CURRENT SPEED. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WAVED WILDLY DURING THIS EVENT (+/- 30MPH BACK AND FORTH).

  MULTIPLE SEVERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES: 1. SUDDENLY DROPPING FROM 4TH TO 1ST GEAR, CAUSING SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED, SCREECHING OF TIRES, AND PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE TO BE THROWN FORWARD. 2. ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP AND START TO JUMP BETWEEN APPROX 15 MPH AND 65 MPH; THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A VERY LARGE CLUNKING SOUND. 3. VEHICLE STAYS IN TOO HIGH GEAR. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION RUN IN HIGHER GEAR THAN SHOULD BE; NOISE AND VIBRATIONS CAN BE HEARD/FELT IN VEHICLE. 4. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND SHIFT INTO PROPER GEAR FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ENGINE REVS HIGH, BUT TRUCK BARELY MOVES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (1ST ISSUE NOTED). IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEIR STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT PICK UP THE ISSUE, BUT WHEN THEY CONTACT ESCALATED SERVICE ENGINEERS FROM CORPORATE THEY TELL THE DEALER TO TRY A FEW OTHER TRICKS TO SEE IF IT IS WHAT THEY SUSPECT. THERE IS A KNOWN FLAW THAT THEY WILL NOT PUBLISH. THIS REPAIR IS SUPPOSEDLY THE WIRING HARNESS AND LEAD FRAME THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HAVE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER 7 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND FINALLY AFTER THEM KEEPING THE TRUCK FOR 3 WEEKS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE. CUSTOMERS SERVICES SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME BUT THEY WILL MAKE NOTE OF THE CONCERN. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS AND I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY MORE INFO YOU NEED. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. I DO NOT HAVE FINAL SERVICE HISTORY FROM PLATTSBURGH FORD YET, BUT WILL BY END OF THE WEEK AND CAN UPLOAD OR SEND THEN AS NEEDED. WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM

IT SEEMS TO BE LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. PARKED ON THE SIDE, PUT IT IN P AND THEN D AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. MAY 2017 - BROUGHT THE TRUCK FOR INSPECTION AT CLOSEST FORD DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THOUGHT RESETTING THE COMPUTER WOULD SOLVE IT. JULY 2017 - BROUGHT BACK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE BUT FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS LOW THEREFORE FILLED IT UP. JULY 2017 - STILL HAVING THE ISSUE, LEAVING THE TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALER FOR ONE WEEK... THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM... TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AUGUST 2017 - DROVE ONE MONTH WITHOUT MAJOR CHOCKING. WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 100KM/H AND THE VEHICLE WENT CRAZY DOWNSHIFTING AND LOCKED THE REAR WHEELS, CARS BEHIND ALMOST HIT ME...

  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.

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.

  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 ?

  WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS AT ANY SPEED, FROM 6TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR LOCKING UP ALL 4 TIRES AND SCREECHING TO A 60 MPH SLOWDOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY 5 NORTHBOUND. OCCURRED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN AGAIN AT 30 MILES PER HOUR IN NOVATO ON A CITY STREET BEFORE TAKING TO AUTHORIZED FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. 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. I FOUND THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE IN SEVERAL INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET. KNOW ISSUE.

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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.

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.

  WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET ON AND GOING 70 MPH, ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR. REAR TIRES SLID, ENGINE RPM'S WERE INCREASED FROM THE ENGINE BRAKING EFFECT OF THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT AND TIRES DRAGGING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR A SHORT TIME. STARTED THE ENGINE AND WENT HOME SLOWLY WITHOUT ANOTHER ISSUE. DID A SEARCH FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND FOUND THE RECALL FOR 2011 AND 2012 F150. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE CONDITION THAT IF IT OCCURS ON A CURVE OR RAIN SLICKED ROAD COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THROUGH LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND BEEN TOLD THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER MAY YEAR MODEL. I THINK MY 95,000 MILES ON MY 2013 MODEL F150 PUTS MY VEHICLE IN THE MILEAGE RANGE OBTAINED BY EARLIER YEAR MODELS SO I MAY BE THE START OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 2013 YEAR MODELS. THERE IS A COMPONENT ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS THAT THEY FAILING IN SUCH A DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE MANNER. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 16V248000 FOR 2011 AND 2012 F150S.

I'M FILING A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF ANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS YEAR TRUCK ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL 16S19 FOR 2011-2012 FORD TRUCKS BUT WHEN ASKING FORD ABOUT MY 2013 DOING THE SAME THING I GET SHUNNED. THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE DOWN SHIFT HAS RESULTED IN THE TRUCK NEEDING A COMPLETE NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS STATED BY FORD'S FIELD SERVICE REP.

  THROTTLE WAS COMPLETELY LOST. TRUCK WOULD ONLY RUN AROUND 5 MPH MAXIMUM. WOULD NOT TAKE THROTTLE AT ALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AND MULTI LANE SETTING WHERE ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES ARE RUNNING AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING A 7000 LB TRAILER WITH NO OR EXTREMELY LIMITED PULL OFFS FOR EMERGENCIES SUCH AS THIS. IT CREATES A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY OF DEATH. THIS OCCURRED ON A LOCAL ROAD IN FITZGERALD, GA TRAVELING STRAIGHT WITH LIGHT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FORTUNATELY. I DROVE THE TRUCK IN TO FITZGERALD FORD FROM ABOUT 3 TO 4 MILES AWAY AT THE ABOVE MENTIONED SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, AND IT WAS REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $248.12. MY WIFE'S CAR ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE EXACT SAME PART. IT WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND PAID FOR BY US. MY WIFE [XXX] SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE FROM FORD THAT INDICATED THE THROTTLE BODY WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED, AND THAT COST THAT WE PREVIOUSLY PAID WAS REFUNDED TO US. HER CAR WHICH WE STILL OWN IS A 2010 FORD FUSION SEL. THE VIN IS [XXX]. THE INCIDENT WITH MY TRUCK OCCURRED YESTERDAY, JUNE 24, 2016. THE DIAGNOSIS, REPAIR AND PAYMENT FOR THE REPAIR ALSO TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY. IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EXTENSION OF THE CAR THROTTLE BODY WARRANTY AND THE TRUCK?

(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.

WHILE DRIVING THE MOTOR AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT EVEN MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WAS DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE AROUND US.

  MY 2013 FORD F150 XLT BEGAN FLASHING A WARNING SAYING SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. THEN IT IMMEDIATELY BEGINS FLASHING SHIFT TO PARK. THE TRUCK THEN BEGINS TO DOWNSHIFT CAUSING A RAPID SLOWING OF THE TRUCK.. WHEN I GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP I HEAR METAL ON METAL GRINDING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT I BELIEVE IS THE TRANSMISSION TRYING TO SHIFT TO PARK... THE TRUCK THEN LOSES ALL BLINKERS AND FLASHERS AS WELL AS ALL LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION OFF THE ROAD THIS TIME.. THE TRUCK RANDOMLY CONTINUES THIS AND ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I FINALLY GOT FED UP AND BEGAN VIDEO OF THE DASH DISPLAY IN ORDER TO DOCUMENT MY SAFETY AND PROBLEMS. THIS TRUCK IS 9 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 14000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WOULD NOT REBOOT AND LEFT ME STRANDED FOR A LONG TIME. WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON I95 AT 75MPH DURING HOLIDAY TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE LITERALLY THOUGHT WE WOULD BE KILLED BECAUSE CARS HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID OUR DISABLED CAR. IT WAS EVEN SCARIER SINCE MY 6MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE THEN.WE ARE AT A LOSS BECAUSE FORD HAS COMPLETELY IGNORED THE PROBLEM AND JUST ASSUMES I WILL STOP MAKING THEM FIX THIS AT SOME POINT. I'M IN A 1 CAR FAMILY AND BOUGHT THIS TO ACCOMMODATE MY NEW BABY AND HAVE HER A SAFE RIDE...THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AND IT IS GOING TO HURT OR KILL SOMEONE IF ITS LEFT UNADDRESSED. [XXX] AT JIM HUDSON FORD SERVICE HAS TOLD ME HE KNOWS ITS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT BUT FORD WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY TERMS FOR NEW TRUCKS.

THE TRUCK RAPIDLY LOST POWER PLUS SPEED AND A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK ALMOST RAN IN TO THE BACK OF ME. I DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY 500 MILE TRIP TO NYC (AND STILL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE TODAY NOW WEEKLY BASES). ONCE BACK HOME I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO WAS AWARE OF MISFIRE ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK MODEL (APPARENTLY IT IS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE TRUCK STALLS AND MISFIRES ISSUE AND SAID I HAD ALL THE LATEST UPDATES HOWEVER STILL TODAY I EXPERIENCE STALL AND MISFIRE MAINLY UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. LATELY THE ISSUE HAS WORSEN AND I AM TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN OF WILL DO ABOUT IT UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A FIX. THIS VEHICLE IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK PERIOD. I HAVE ASKED THE MANUFACTURER OVER AND OVER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY SIMPLY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IS AS OF YET. I AM ASKING THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS AND INVESTIGATE MY CONCERN PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GOD FORBID LOOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WE NEED TO BE MORE PROACTIVE THAN REACTIVE. THE FORD F150'S EQUIPPED WITH THE TURBO ECO BOOST ENGINE IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND LOOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE SOMETHING MIGHT BE DONE - THAT IS THE SAD PART. PLEASE I BEG YOU TO LOOK INTO MY CONCERN AND FOLLOW UP ASAP. JUST LAST NIGHT MY VEHICLE STALLED I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE IT CAUTIOUSLY. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT - I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT TO NO ONE ELSE BECAUSE I WOULD FEEL BAD KNOWING THE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES THIS VEHICLE HAS - I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO PUTTING SOMEONE IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD HURT THEM.

IT DID NOT STALL, OR LOSE POWER STEERING, OR BRAKES, BUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. NONE.THIS HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80 KLM/HR. OR 45 MILES PER HOUR. THERE HAD BEEN ON COMING TRAFFIC HEADED WEST, AND I WAS TURNING EAST, A LEFT TURN. THE ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS A WAYS AWAY, SO I HAD LOTS OF TIME AS FAR AS THE EAST BOUND TRAFFIC WAS CONCERNED, BUT UPON MAKING THE EAST BOUND LANE THE TRUCK LOST POWER. THERE WAS A SEMI BEARING DOWN ON ME HEADED EAST, SO I LEFT THE ROAD. THE SEMI PASSED ME WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT JUST BARELY. ONCE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I NOTICED A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED IT BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON. I LIVE IN ONTARIO, CANADA. I HAVE USED MY SISTER'S ADDRESS FOR YOUR FORM. I HOPE YOU DO NOT MIND?

  I TOOK MY 2013 FORD F-150 WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE ON A WEEK LONG VACATION DOWN TO SOUTH TEXAS (APPROX. 1200 MILES OR 17.5 HOURS ONE WAY) IT WAS SUNNY AND WARM THE ENTIRE TRIP DOWN AND THE VEHICLE RAN GREAT. HOWEVER ON THE WAY BACK UP TO IOWA IN WAS RAINING AS SOON AS WE LEFT AND ONLY LET UP RAINING FOR 20 MIN INCREMENTS THE ENTIRE WAY HOME. ABOUT 5 HOURS IN WE PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO GET GAS AND EAT. WE GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO GET ON THE ON RAMP AND RETURN TO THE INTERSTATE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WITH SMOOTH ACCELERATION WHEN I GAVE MY TRUCK A LITTLE BIT OF GAS TO MERGE INTO THE 75MPH TRAFFIC. MY TRUCK DID NOT MOVE, INSTEAD IT CONTINUED TO GO 40MPH AND REVVED UP TO REDLINE. I HAD TO LET OFF OF THE GAS COMPLETELY AND PUT MY FOOT BACK ON IT AND SLOWLY CLIMB UP TO 65MPH. THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING HORRIBLY AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE STOPPED SHAKING. I THEN COULD MAKE VERY SLIGHT SPEED INCREMENTS. I COULD NOT HOWEVER STEP ON THE GAS TO PASS SOMEBODY WITHOUT THE TRUCK REVVING UP TO REDLINE AND SHAKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY THE REST OF THE WAY BACK (12.5 HOURS). THE TRUCK RUNS GREAT UNTIL IT IS INTRODUCED TO 70MPH INTERSTATE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

  AT OR AROUNG 500 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW 2013 FORD F150 SVT RAPTOR A MESSAGE COME UP ON THE 4.2 INCD LCD THAT READ "CHECK FUEL INLET". I WAS AT A GAS STATION PUTTING GAS IN MY TRUCK AND WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS I CALLED HARBIN FORD AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REP. AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD COME UP ON THE LCD. THE SERVICE REP. TOLD ME TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR AND LOOK UNDER THE BACK SEAT ON DRIVER SIDE AND THERE SHOULD BE A WHITE FUNNEL LOOKING OBJECT ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG. I PULLED UP AT MY HOME AND PARKED MY TRUCK UNDER OUR CARPORT WHICH HAS 2 OPEN WALLS AND ANOTHER TO ENTER THE CARPORT. ON THE NORTH END THE CARPORT IS SUPPORTED BY 3 STEEL POLES WHICH HOLDS THE CARPORT UP WHICH IS ATTACHED TO OUR HOUSE. I PLACED MY TRUCK IN (P) PARK AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING, MY MOTHER WAS OUTSIDE ABOUT 10 FEET FROM MY TRUCK. AND I THOUGHT BEFORE I GOT IN MY TRUCK THAT MAYBE I SHOULD TRY THE FUNNEL DEAL MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS DESCRIPTION. SO I JUST OPENED THE BACK DOOR BECAUSE THE FRONT WAS ALREADY OPEN BECAUSE I LEFT MY TRUCK RUNNING AND IT WAS IN THE (P) POSITION BUT I GOT THE FUNNEL AND OPENED THE FUEL DOOR AND STARTED STICKING THE FUNNEL IN AND OUT REPEATING SEVERAL TIMES. AND ABOUT THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME STICKING THE FUNNEL IN AND OUT OF THE FUEL INLET MY TRUCK ACTED LIKE SOMEONE HAD PLACED MY TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT STARTED COMING IN REVERSE. MY MOTHER SEEN THIS AND SHE SCREAMED AT ME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND I JUST SEEN A OPENING BETWEEN THE DOORS AND I SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND I HIT THE BRAKE AND TO DISBELIEF I LOOKED AT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND IT WAS ALMOST RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF AND THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER WAS ALSO CRINKLED UP FROM THE DOOR CATCHING ON THE LAST POLE EXITING OUR CARPORT.

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 MENTION ALL OF THESE ITEMS BECAUSE IN MY OPINION THEY WOULD POINT TO COMPUTER ISSUES ON THE ECOBOOST.

  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.

  THIS IS THE 5TH INCIDENT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT WORST NOW. I HAD THIS TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY JUNE 17,2013. THEY SAID IT WILL BE HARD TO DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT A FAULT CODE. HOW IS IT THEY CAN TELL ME HOW FAST I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THE PAST MONTH, BUT THE INBOARD COMPUTER CANNOT TELL FORD TECHNICIANS WHAT IS WRONG.THE ENGINE CUT OFF AGAIN FOR THE 5TH TIME, BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT START. THE INSTRUMENT SHOWED 2 ICON'S THIS TIME, A ( WRENCH AND CHECK OIL ), I'M SORRY BUT THE WRENCH INDICATES I BELIEVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH A REAR END ON A 4 X 4 TRUCK, SORRY THIS IS ONLY A 2 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. I TRIED THE ( 2 ) RECOMMENDATION IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND WHEN TURNED THE IGNITION TO START IT ONLY TRIED FOR LESS THAN 3 SECONDS, THEN THE POWER TO THE IGNITION WENT BLANK.

  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.

  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.

  WHILE ON I95 IN VIRGINIA, AFTER TRAVELING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON IN AN INTERMITTENT RAIN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND BUCK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO CAUSED THE TRUCK TO JERK AND SHAKE. AS I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND THE TRUCK BEHAVED NORMALLY. I COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT SINCE I DID NOT DRIVE AT A CONSTANT SPEED AGAIN FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME REMAINING IN THE TRIP. THIS OCCURRED IN A 2013 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCREW WITH A 3.5L ECO BOOST ENGINE.

  I WENT TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND ONLY HAD A SHORT DISTANCE TO PASS. I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN, TRUCK WAS COASTING, AND THE ORANGE TRACTION SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO FINISH PASSING. THIS WAS IN CARLSBAD, NM. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE NOTHING SHOWED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER, BUT THEY DID TRY TO CHARGE ME $150 LABOR. I REFUSED TO PAY, BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE DRIVING INTO CARLSBAD. I HAVE TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ONCE SINCE, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUTDOWN.
