I WAS DRIVING ONE AFTERNOON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL IT WOULD LET OUT A HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING NOISE AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP. I COULDN'T TURN IT LEFT NOR RIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK BUT IF I FORCED IT IT WOULD UNLOCK BUT STILL MAKE THE SCREECHING SOUND. AND THIS IS WHERE I AM AT ALMOST WRECKING 5 TIMES THAT DAY TRYING TO GET HOME AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH MY CAR DUE TO THE FACT MY POWER STEER IS FAILING FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER.

POWER STEERING ELECTRIC ASSIST IS NOT WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN DIFFICULT TO TURN, PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION ON TO HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTED. THE FIRST, SECOND, AND SIXTH GEARS WERE SKIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEACON JONES FORD-LINCOLN (3301 MCLAIN ST, GOLDSBORO, NC 27534) WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,180.

I GOT INTO MY FORD F150 TO GO TO WORK AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME, I COULD NOT GET IT TO STEER AT ALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR CENTER THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY CAME AND TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE ENTIRE THING WAS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER 2000.00. I HAD THE TRUCK FOR LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS.

WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT PRESSED THE THROTTLE DOWN AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED IT AND IMMEDIATELY MASHED THE THROTTLE..MADE IT TO A GARAGE..TURNED IT OFF..WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON NO WRENCH LIGHT AND OR RAN FINE. THE MECHANIC FOUND NO CODES BUT I TOLD HIM TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND POSITION SENSOR..HE DID..ON THE WAY HOME SAME THING HAPPENED..TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS..THERE IS A PROBLEM AND A VERY DANGEROUS ONE

TRUCK WILL HAVE SEVERE INTERMITTENT STUMBLE/MISFIRING ON ACCELERATION FROM 45MPH+ IN HUMID, WET OR DAMP CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY, BOGS DOWN, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES EVENTUALLY BECOMING A SOLID ENGINE LIGHT. THIS INVOLVES THE ENGINE SHUDDERING WHEN THERE IS ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS; THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PASS VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS AND COILS REPLACED AFTER THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED IN DAMP AND WET WEATHER CONDITIONS. MAKE YEARS SEEM TO INVOLVE 2011-14 ECOBOOST TRUCKS. FROM THOUSANDS OF FORD FORUM POSTS, THE TRUCKS HAVE AN INTERCOOLER CONDENSATION PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING POOR PERFORMANCE AND SPARK PLUGS/COILS TO FAIL EARLY. WATER AND OIL VAPOR/RESIDUE CONDENSATION IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO FIND A SOLUTION BY DRILLING A 1/16' HOLE IN THE LOW POINT OF THE INTERCOOLER DRIVER'S SIDE TO DRAIN OIL/WATER CONDENSATION/RESIDUE OR INSTALL A $400-$500 OIL CATCH CAN SEPARATOR WHICH FORD SHOULD BE OFFERING TO OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE AN APPROPRIATE FIX LIKE THE OIL CATCH CAN INSTALLATION OR CONFIRM WITH ITS OWNERS THAT IT IS OK TO DRILL A WEEP HOLE IN THE INTERCOOLER. NOT THE CHEAP FIXES I HAVE SEEN LIKE TSB 13-8-1.

THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I START UP MY VEHICLE.

MY 2011 FORD F150 WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SAILS WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTS OUT WORKING FINE AND THEN ONCE THE TRUCK IS UP TO SPEED IT'S DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL BETWEEN 11 O'CLOCK AND ONE O'CLOCK ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE MALFUNCTION DOES NOT THROW A CODE ON THE PCM SO THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S FINE. BUT I'M LOOKING AROUND ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT BLOG SITES IN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY NOT WORKING. I DRIVE-IN SNOWY ICY CONDITIONS FOR WORK DURING THE WINTER IN THIS PROBLEM HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE JERKY MOTION YOU HAVE TO PERFORM TO CHANGE LANES OR STEER. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IF THIS ISSUE COULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL FROM FORD.

AS I DRIVE MY F-150 AS A DAILY DRIVER AND EVERYDAY IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT AS IT SNOWED THE OTHER DAY I PROCEEDED TO THE GROCERY STORE ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35MPH WITH A 50 MPH POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND AS IT DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY I LOST CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND ENDED UP FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE ROAD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE RPM GAUGE DECREASED TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 181,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE FIRST TIME IN DECEMBER OF 2018 AND WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOROUGHBRED FORD (8501 N BOARDWALK AVE, KANSAS CITY, MO 64154) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. CAPITAL FORD (3660 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701, (775) 882-5353) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE AT A STOP, DURING ACCELERATION, AND WHILE MAKING A TURN, WHICH CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT. CUSTOMER SERVICE CAMPAIGN PROGRAM NUMBER: 15N05 (ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP RECALL) WAS REFERENCED AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE TURNING IN TRAFFIC MY EPAS STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I ALREADY HAD DEALERSHIP CHANGE EPAS RACK AND PINION AND I HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2014 TRUCKS WITH SAME ISSUE. ITS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE FORD F-150 WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION WAS DOWN SHIFTING WHILE DRIVINGI IT. HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY FORD. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION. THER HAS BEEN TROUBLE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. SEVERAL TIMES THE ALST 2 YEARS

MY 2011 FORD F150 3.5 L ECOBOOST HAS SUFFERED A PROBLEMATIC OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR ISSUE (ERROR CODE P0722) WHERE MY TRUCK WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS ME GOING 'ZERO' AND THE ODOMETER SHOWS DASHES INSTEAD OF THE MILEAGE. A COUPLE TIMES I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE DOWNSHIFT HAPPENED CAUSING A LOT OF CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY! I RESEARCHED THIS AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY IF THE TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEARBORN OR KANSAS CITY, WHICH MINE WAS NOT. (TSB13-6-8) MY MECHANIC NOW TELLS ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS GROWN, THAT I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. HE QUOTED ME $7,500 TO FIX THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO GET IT FIXED. IF THIS PROBLEM WAS ONLY IN THE TWO FORE-MENTIONED FACTORIES, THEN WHY DID I SUFFER THE SAME ISSUE? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THEN JUST TRUCKS FROM DEARBORN OR KC.... I NEED HELP, FORD!

WHEN I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROSTER THIS MORNING WHILE IT WAS PARKED, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL LATER WHEN I SAW THAT MY REAR WINDSHIELD'S RIGHT SIDE GLASS HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE,I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY FORD F150 OWNERS, I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME ALMOST $680 TO REPLACE THE WINDOW.

AFTER I STARTED MY PARKED TRUCK VERY EARLY THIS MORNING AROUND 6:20 AM WHEN IT WAS STILL DARK AND VERY COLD, I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER, AT WHICH TIME I HEARD A LOUD POP BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THE SOUND CAME FROM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY THAT I NOTICED THAT MY REAR RIGHT WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. AFTER I LOOKED ONLINE, I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A PERSISTENT AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK (FORD F150). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT AS THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT I COULD GET IT REPLACED FOR AROUND $700.00. WHY DOESN'T FORD FIX THIS ISSUE IF SO MANY TRUCKS OWNERS ARE SUFFERING.

2011 F150 WITH RECALLED TRANSMISSION 6R80 HAS PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT REPORTING IN RECALL. THE RECALL NUMBER IN QUESTION IS FORD RECALL #16S19, NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 16V248000. MY TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING TO FIRST AT ANY SPEED CAUSING TIRES TO LOCK AND SKID AS WELL AS LOOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TRUCK TO TED BRITT FORD THIS MORNING AND THEY CONCUR WITH THE ISSUE BUT AGAIN VIN IS NOT IN RECALL. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL. TRUCK IS UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND 115K MILES.

DRIVING ON I95 TRAVELING AT 81 MPH, TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED HARD TO AROUND 30 MPH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND ODOMETER READING WENT TO ALL DASHES. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE. 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.

THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY 2011 FORD F150 IS WITH THE BACK GLASS SHATTERING. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I REMOTE STARTED THE TRUCK. WHEN I WENT OUT TO LEAVE THE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOTHING HIT THE GLASS AS IT WAS PARKED AND NOT IN MOTION ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE REAR DEFROST IS SET TO AUTO WHEN REMOTE STARTING SO THE BACK DEFROST WOULD OF COME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE WINDOWS HAVING FROST ON THEM. LOOKING ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD F150'S AND REMOTE START WITH AUTO DEFROST. LUCKLY NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK AS THIS COULD OF SERIOUSLY HURT SOMEONE WHEN THE GLASS SHATTERED.

I STARTED MY TRUCK AND TURNED IN THE REAR DEFROST. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATING THE REAR DEFROST I WAS ON THE ROADWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SOUND AND NOTICED MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED BUT OTHERWISE IN TACT. THE WINDOW FRACTURES COVERED THE ENTIRE WINDOW. I INSPECTED THE DAMAGE AND SMELLED WHAT I BELIEVE WAS WIRES OVERHEATED/BURNING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 9 DEGREES AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE REAR DEFROST LIKELY MALFUNCTIONED AND OVERHEATED THE WINDOW TOO QUICKLY CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. AT THE TIME THE DAMAGE OCCURRED I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT.

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.

INTERMITTENT ADVANCE TRAC ERROR MESSAGE SEEMS TO CAUSE TURN SIGNALS TO MALFUNCTION (YOU HAVE TO HOLD LEVER IN POSITION TO KEEP FLASHERS ON TO INDICATE TURNING/LANE CHANGE). PROBLEM GOES AS MYSTERIOUSLY AS IT CAME- FROM 5MPH TO 55MPH. TURNING TRACTION CONTROL OFF HAS NO EFFECT ON IT. IN TWO WEEKS THIS PROBLEM LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES ON ONE OCCASION; AND FROM MY MORNING COMMUTE (25MIN) TO MY EVENING COMMUTE (25MIN) ON ANOTHER.

STEERING STICKS AND IS ERRATIC ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN TURNING LEFT THE STEERING SOMETIMES STICKS GIVING THE IMPRESSION THE TRUCK IS OVER ROTATING AROUND CORNERS. CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE IS DANGEROUS AS SOMETIMES THE STEERING STICKS CAUSING THE TRUCK TO VEER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME UNTIL I FOUND TSB 11-08-18. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS! I'M NOT HAPPY AND BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED FIRST? STEERING IS PRETTY IMPORTANT.

ON MONDAY JANUARY 6TH I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND LET IT WARM UP THEN WHEN I TRIED TO PUT MY TRUCK INTO REVERSE AND WHEN I PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN REVERSE THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION PRNDL DISPLAY DID NOT INDICATE THE LETTER R FOR REVERSE AND THE BACKUP LAMPS DID NOT OPERATE. AFTER THAT I TRIED EACH GEAR AND NONE OF THEM WERE WORKING SO I PUT IT INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THE DAY BEFORE I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AFTER IT WARMED UP THEN PUT IT INTO PERVERSE AND IT DID NOT GO INTO REVERSE AT ALL OR DRIVE. AS A RESULT I TOOK IT TO MIDAS IN MY TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE CODES AND BEHAVIOR SO THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR IT TO BE FIXED FOR FREE. I DID SO AND I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY REPORTED TO ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FULL CHARGES THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM MISSING WORK AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS DELAY AND I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS VIOLENTLY IN MOTION, FREEWAY SPEED YOU REDUCE ACCELERATION AND GEAR SHIFTS FROM 6 TO 4; STREET SPEED FROM 3 OR 4 TO 1. SIMILARITIES TO RECALL NOTICE 16V248000

STEERING INTERMITTENTLY LOCKS UP ON PRIMARILY LEFT TURN. PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORSENING TO INCLUDE TURNS TO THE RIGHT. WHEN IT HAPPENS, STEERING WILL TOTALLY LOCK UP MAKING DRIVING AND COMPLETING TURNS IMPOSSIBLE. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. SLIGHTLY TURNING STEERING TO THE LEFT & RIGHT SOMETIMES CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. SPEED AND ROAD CONDITIONS DO NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR AS TO WHEN THE STEERING WANTS TO LOCK UP, JUST TURNS. CONDITION HAS BEEN WORSENING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. COLD WEATHER, HOWEVER, DOES SEEM TO WORSEN THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SISK FAMILY FORD (565 OAK ST, FOREST CITY, NC 28043, 828-245-1626), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50MPH WHEN MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY POWERED DOWN AND WENT TO 1ST GEAR. AFTER DOING REASEARCH THE ISSUE IS LEAD FRAME TO THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED SO HARD THAT THE CONTACT ALMOST STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE GEAR SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN. IN ADDITION, THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED AND NONE OF THE GAUGES FUNCTIONED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRIVE NORMALLY HOURS AFTER THE FAILURE, BUT THE SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHAKER'S FAMILY FORD LINCOLN (831 STRAITS TURNPIKE, WATERTOWN, CT 06795, (860) 945-4900) WHERE THE DEALER DENIED THAT THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED, BUT ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR NEXT WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I NOTICED MY DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR DISPLAY WAS IN 5TH WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I ACCELERATED, ALL OF SUDDEN, THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AND EVERYTHING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY APPEARED AS (---). THE TRUCK COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I DROVE THE TRUCK TO A SAFE AND LOCATION, WITH THE TRUCK BARELY ACCELERATING. I PARKED AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE. THE DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR WAS IN THE 3RD GEAR. MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I WENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED AND THE TROUBLE CODE CAME BACK AS P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY RISK. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY TRUCK MAY ALL OF SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A NEWBORN CHILD AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY NEWBORN. I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND I ONLY HAVE APPROX 83,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AS OF TODAY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. SOME VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THIS TIME MAY BEEN LEFT OFF THIS RECALL. I FIRMLY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS LEFT OFF THE RECALL LIST. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL SIMILAR TO MY INCIDENT BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS FROM HIGH SPEEDS DOWN TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS CAUSES RAPID DECELERATION AND HIGH RPMS. ALSO AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO NEUTRAL OUT AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BECAME STUCK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WERE ADDED, INCLUDING A NEW FILTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000. *DT*JB

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. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL ISSUE FOR OTHER F150'S BUT MY TRUCK ISN'T COVERED, BUT IS DEFINITELY HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

STARTED VEHICLE IN GARAGE, DEPRESSED BRAKE, MOVED SHIFT SELECTOR TO REVERSE POSITION AND "R" INDICATOR DIDN'T LIGHT, VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE IN REVERSE. WOULD MOVE FORWARD & "D" INDICATOR LIT. TURN VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED, MOVED SHIFT LEVER TO "R" INDICATOR AND IT LIT AND VEHICLE WOULD MOVE. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BETWEEN 12/21/2018 & 12/25/2018. HAD FRIEND TRY SHIFTING WHILE I WATCHED REAR BACKUP LIGHTS. THEY LIT WHEN "R" WOULD LIGHT, AND WOULDN'T LIGHT WHEN "R" WOULDN'T LIGHT. ALSO ON 25TH, ALL SHIFTER POSITIONS WOULDN'T LIGHT WHEN RETURNING HOME. VERY SCARY!

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER GOES TO DASHES AND TRUCK FAILS TO SHIFT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF TO TRY AND RESET IT. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES OF DOING THIS TO RESET THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL / EXTENSION OF FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THE 2011 F150 RELATED TO FAILINGS OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH FAILINGS OF THE SPEED SENSOR AND THE LEAD FRAME, AND REPORTEDLY NEEDS A NEW LEAD FRAME. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS HAVE FORCED A DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNIT THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD HAS HAPPENED TO MY UNIT SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS LED TO THE RECALL OF CERTAIN UNITS: F150'S BUILT IN THE KANSAS CITY PLANT BETWEEN 8/19/2011 THRU 3/9/2012-MINE WAS BUILT IN THIS PLANT ON 10/2011 AND SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY / RECALL, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY UNIT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, WHICH IS PUZZLING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO REMAIN PARKED FOR A WHILE AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS HAD TO BE MADE FOR IT TO RESTART. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL ALEXANDER FORD LINCOLN MERCURY (801 E 32ND ST, YUMA, AZ 85365, (928) 344-2200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND A COMPUTER RESET WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE RESET MADE THINGS WORSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY MOVING AT THE SPEED OF 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. CAUSING MY BACK TIRES TO LOCK UP. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 7:00 PM AFTER THE INCIDENT A WRENCH CAME UP ON MY CONTROL CENTER TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AT A FORD DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WITHIN THAT SHORT DISTANCE IT WAS STILL DOWNSHIFTING RANDOMLY.

EARLY ONE MORNING WHEN IT WAS AROUND 27 DEGREES OUT I STARTED MY 2011 F-150 AND LET IT RUN ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO WARM UP. I USED MY REMOTE START, WHICH TURNS ON THE WINDOW DEFROSTERS. WITHIN 3 MIN OF LEAVING FOR WORK I HEARD A SOUND SIMILAR TO A BREAKING LIGHT BULB. ONCE I GOT TO WORK I HAPPENED TO MOVE MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW ( 3 PART, DOUBLE PANE MOTORIZED REAR WINDOW WITH DEFROST) WAS SHATTERED ON BOTH SIDES (PANES) I AM 1 OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO APPARENTLY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. FORD DOES NOT COVER THE GLASS ON THERE VEHICLES IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, EVEN ON THERE NEWEST MODELS, AND APPARENTLY REFUSES TO FIX OR RATHER, REPLACE THESE WINDOWS WHEN DAMAGED BY THERE INAPPROPRIATELY ADJUSTED DEFROSTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I FREQUENTLY TAKE MY NEPHEWS AND 2 YEAR OLD NIECE PLACES IN THIS VEHICLE. PLACED IN THE BACK SEAT FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASON. NOW I DONT EVEN FEEL SAFE PUTTING THEM IN THE TRUCK AT ALL. WHAT DO YOU THINK A 2 YEAR OLD IS GOING TO DO WITH TINY SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS? ALSO TAKE A GLASS MUG, PUT IT INTO THE FREEZER FOR AN HOUR, TAKE IT OUT AND POUR HOT COFFEE INTO IT. WHAT DOES IT DO? THESE ARE COMMON SENSE THINGS.

2011 F-150 PICK UP HAS HAD 3 EPISODES OF SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR IN HIGHWAY SPEED & IN TOWN. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL (16V248000), IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER; ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DEALER WANTS $1400 TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SMELL BURNED AND THE TRUCK WAS BURNING. IT WAS TOTALLY LOST. WE WERE 4 PEOPLE WHO WERE UP AND WE WERE ALSO BURNED.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A TWO LANE BLACK TOP ROAD THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OF MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SHATTERED. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WHEN I ACTIVATED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE REMAINING LAYER OF FROST OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER ACTIVATING THE REAR DEFROSTER THAT I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK REALIZED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE PANE OF GLASS IN MY 3 PIECE SLIDING REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. WHEN I CHECKED THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS SCUFFS OR HOLES INDICATING THAT SOMETHING HAD STRUCK THE WINDOW. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A BED COVER OVER THE BED AREA WHICH WOULD RULE OUT SOMETHING FLYING UP OUT OF THE BED AND STRIKING THE WINDOW. ADDITIONAL DATA: * OUTSIDE TEMP APPROXIMATELY 36 DEGREES F * REAR WINDOW CLEAR OF FROST DEFROSTER ACTIVATED TO CLEAR DRIVER SIDE MIRROR * ROAD SURFACE SMOOTH AND SPEED 55 MPH AND TRAVELING STRAIGHT. * WINDOW DID NOT FALL FROM FRAME AND SHOWS A PRONOUNCE OUTWARD BOW.

"2011 FORD F150 LEAD FRAME IN TRANSMISSION RECALL'. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0, MY MILEAGE INDICATOR WAS SHOWING ALL DASHES ------- AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN GEAR SOMEONE BETWEEN 2ND AND 5TH AND MY TRUCK STARTED SLOWING VERY QUICKLY ON ITS OWN. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCONNECTED MY BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET THE READINGS. WHICH WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER CALLING FORD DIRECTLY I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT WAS NOTED IN SOME OTHER RESEARCH I HAD DONE. I WAS TOLD IN ORDER FOR IT TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED IT HAD TO BE DIAGNOSED AT A CERTIFIED FORD SERVICE STATION. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE RECALL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE WHERE SOME OF VINS WERE RECALLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I AM GRATEFUL I WAS NOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE AS A RESULT OF THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. I WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REQUEST TO HAVE FORD BROADEN THE RECALL THAT OBVIOUSLY MY TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO REACH OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO REVERSE. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENKINS & WYNNE FORD, HONDA, LINCOLN (2655 TRENTON RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V190000 (POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-16590270. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 8 IN THE MORNING ON 12/2/2018 I WAS AT A STOP GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I HAD THE WINDOW DEFROSTER/HEAT ON, AS WELL AS THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER.
