2011 Ford F-150 complaints

VEHICLE CHOOSES WHEN TO PICK UP SPEED VEHICHLE JERKS (TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS) ODOMETER STOPS READING VEHICHLE JERKS COMES TO AN IMMEDIATE DOWN SHIFT (STOP) VEHICHLE DOES THIS IN MOTION AND IT CAN BE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED

LEAVING DRIVEWAY, STARTED TO ACCELERATE UP SLIGHT INCLINE ON SUBDIVISION STREET AND TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY JUMPED FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH AND THEN SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD AS SPEED RAPIDLY DECREASED TO NEAR IDLE SPEED. SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND, BECAUSE IF THE TRUCK IS PUT BACK INTO PARK IT WILL START TO DRIVE IN FIRST AND WHEN IT SHIFTS TO 2ND IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPS TO 5TH AND REPEATS THE ABOVE.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR CAUSING BACK TIRES TO LOCK UP AND IT WAS RAINING WHICH RESULTED IN A LITTLE SPIN OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE GEAR INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO VEER OFF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BELL FORD (7125 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061, (888) 878-8045) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LEAD FRAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I WAS TURNING MY 2011 F150 AROUND IN A LOT WHEN A STEERING ERROR WARNING POPED UP ON DASH ALONG WITH A STABILITY CONTROL ERROR. STEERING FROZE AND I DID NOT HAVE STEERING CONTROL. TOOK ALL EFFORT TO FORCE VEHICLE TO TURN AND AVOID A COLLISION STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN WITH A LOUD BUZZING NOISE AND LIMITED TURNING RANGE (ABOUT 2/3 OF NORMAL RANGE LEFT AND RIGHT. DROVE HOME THIS WAY (ABOUT 15 MILES). WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND VERY NERVE RACKING. BEING A MECHANIC I SCANNED CODES AND IT APPEARS THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR FAILED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SYSTEM I SHUDDER WHEN I THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IF THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE THERE SHOULD BE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I INCLUDED THE SCANNED CODES BELOW.

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

HI, WHILE GOING OUT TO DINNER ON FRIDAY EVENING 8/31/18. MY 2011 FORD F-150 WAS RUNNING FINE... STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT... LIGHT TURN GREEN AS WE WERE GOING AROUND 35... 40 MILES PER HOUR ON A STRAIGHT PART OF CT10 ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK WENT FROM RUNNING FINE TO IT GOING INTO A SKID WHILE STILL ACCELERATING... IT WAS CRAZY!!!! GOOD THING I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT I FELT THAT IT WOULD HAVE SENT ME THRU THE WINDSHIELD!!! I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WONDERING WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPEN!?!? SINCE I WAS WITHIN A MILE FROM HOME I DECIDED TO TRY AND MAKE IT HOME... AS I STARTED ON MY WAY THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO COME OUT OF FIRST GEAR SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN THINKING OF CALLING TRIPLE AAA TO GET TOWED ... AFTER SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR MINUTES WITH THE TRUCK TURN OFF I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN SINCE I WAS SO CLOSE TO HOME... WELL I WAS SUCCESSFUL ON MAKING IT HOME SAFELY!!! TODAY IS MONDAY 9/3/18 LABOR DAY WITHOUT HAVING A TRUCK TO DEPEND ON... TOMORROW I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT.... I NEED HELP TO GET THIS TRUCK BACK TO RUNNING ORDER...

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVEN TIMES LAST WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EMPIRE FORD OF NEW BEDFORD (395 MT PLEASANT STREET, NEW BEDFORD, MA 02746) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND FORCED THE VEHICLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE SPEAKER WENT OUT IN MY BACK LEFT DOOR, SO I TOOK THE DOOR APART TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I TESTED THE SPEAKER AND IT WORKED FINE, SO I STARTED WORKING MY WAY BACK THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS. WHEN I TOUCHED THE HARNESS WHERE IT GOES FROM THE DOOR TO THE BODY (IN THE DOOR JAM) THE SPEAKER STARTED WORKING. I REMOVED THE HARNESS FROM THE DOOR AND PULLED BACK THE RUBBER BOOT IN THE DOOR JAM. EVERYTHING WAS STILL WRAPPED IN FACTORY HARNESS WRAP, AND WHEN I EXPOSED THE WIRES, THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE SEVERED AND MOST OF THE WIRES IN THE BUNDLE HAD CRACKED INSULATION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF BEING PINCHED OR DAMAGED EXTERNALLY, AND I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THIS WAS JUST FROM THE BENDING MOTION EVERY TIME THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND CLOSED. I BUILD CUSTOM AUTOMATED MACHINES FOR A LIVING AND WE ALWAYS USE FLEX RATED CABLE FOR APPLICATIONS LIKE THIS. SO THIS LOOKS LIKE THEY USED CHEAP WIRE WITH INSULATION THAT IS NOT RATED FOR THE NUMBER OF BEND CYCLES A DOOR GOES THROUGH. LUCKILY THE POWER WIRES FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND DOOR SWITCH HAD NOT SHORTED OUT DESPITE THE COPPER BEING EXPOSED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE REST OF MY DOORS ARE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD LEAD TO NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, NOT BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW IN AN EMERGENCY, OR EVEN A FIRE IF THE POWER WIRES SHORTED OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

FROM A COLD START, THE SERVICE BRAKES DID NOT WORK UPON INITIAL APPLICATION. WITH EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE, TRUCK EVENTUALLY STOPPED ROLLING NARROWLY AVOIDING IMPACT. INCIDENT OCCURRED IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. SAW IT WAS 2 PINTS LOW ON FLUID. ADDED FLUID, DROVE TOWARDS MY AUTO SHOP, HAD TO STOP TO FILL THE BRAKE FLUID AGAIN (THE LIGHT WENT ON THIS TIME). DID THIS A FEW TIMES. JUST BEFORE I GOT TO THE STOP, THE TRUCK BLEW OUT SOME SMOKE, CHUGGED, AND THE MOTOR SEIZED UP. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP, THEY FOUND OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED AND THE VACUUM LINES SUCKED THE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND DUMPED IT INTO THE CYLINDERS IN THE MOTOR AND THIS BLEW MY MOTOR. I HEAR THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2014 F-150S BUT NOT ON THE 2011. TERRIBLE DESIGN. A BRAKE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BLOW UP MY MOTOR.

ON SATURDAY 08/18/18 THE POWER STEERING UNIT ON MY MY FORD F-150 (2011MODEL, 67956 MILES) FAILED, FORTUNATELY, RIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. NOTHING CHANGED WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK A FEW TIMES, SO I SHUT IT DOWN WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE UNIT WAS REPLACED FOR $2171.00. I DISCUSSED THE EVENT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPRESSING MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON FAILURES OF SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART THAT IMPACTED VEHICLE AND PUBLIC SAFETY, OR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. HE SYMPATHIZED AND TOLD ME TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPLIED ME WITH THEIR TELEPHONE NUMBER. THE C S REP TOOK MY INFORMATION, GAVE ME A CASE # AND SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY A REGIONAL CS REP. THAT PERSON CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND POLITELY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THAT TYPE OF INCIDENT AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR ANY OF THE CHARGES FOR THE REPAIR. AS I TOLD THE CS REP TODAY WHEN I TALK ABOUT MY TRUCK TO PEOPLE THIS ISSUE WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE RATHER THAN THE ENJOYMENT I HAVE HAD WITH IT SO FAR. ACCORDING TO INFO ON THE NHTSA SITE THIS IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF FAILURE. IN FACT THERE ARE RECALLS AND REPLACEMENTS FOR STEERING MECHANISMS ON OTHER FORD MODELS FROM THE SAME YEAR. IT APPEARS THAT FORD IS STONEWALLING ON THIS ISSUE AND SCREWING THEIR CUSTOMERS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS MECHANICAL DEFECT COVERED BY A RECALL? MAYBE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED

STEERING IS 'STICKY' ON LEFT HAND TURNS. FORD ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITHOUT REPLACING PARTS WHICH HELPED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. STEERING CAN BE AN PROBLEM EITHER AT SPEEDS OR WHEN STATIONARY. I HAVE DIFFICULTY STAYING IN A LANE WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT JERKS BACK FROM THE LEFT. ALSO NOTICE SOMETIMES WHEN PARKED. THE STEERING CAN TAKE SIGNIFICANT EFFORT TO REVERSE A TURN. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED BY FORD FOR THIS PROBLEM. SEE TSB 11-8-18

ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION/ ADVANCED TRAC MALFUNCTION. STEERING IS FAILING, HARD TO TURN. MAKING NOISES. FORD DID RECALL THESE TRUCKS FOR THOSE REASONS BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY BATCH NUMBER. MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALL. MINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FAILED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET TUNRING

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING QUIT WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A NEAR WRECK ON CITY STREET.

ON HGHWAY TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE OR DRIVE ALSO ON ROAD FEELS LIKE IT IS PULLING BACK LIKE IT WANTS TO GO IN LOWER GEAR...'.ALSO BACK DOOR NOT CLOSED ON DASH READING (ELECTRICAL) MILES ON TRUCK IS 103000

STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING 40 PLUS MILES AN HOUR ON A WINDING ROAD ALMOST CRASHED. HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT OFF THE TOW TRUCK. TOWED IT HOME AND MESSED WITH THE FUSE BOX STILL LOCKED. GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND MANUALLY RESET THE STEERING. STARTED TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION, BUT I I WOULD NOT HAVE JUST RESET AND DROVE AS NOTHING WAS WRONG. I THINK THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON THE ACTUAL RACK. VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE PART. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LAWSUIT FOR FORD IF MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE DRIVEN OFF A CLIFF AS WE LIVE IN A VERY MOUNTAINOUS AREA. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMPONENT ISSUE AND NOT A RACK ISSUE. THE MOTOR IS NOT SERVICEABLE SO I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE MOTOR BUT IT HAS BEEN SPOT WELDED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND NOT ONLY WITH THE ESCAPES, AND OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THE SIMILAR PARTS FOR STEERING. LOOKING AT THE FORUMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON THING WITH THIS TRUCK THAT IS BEING OVERLOOKED. AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. FORD WOULD LOSE A LOT OF MONEY. 1600 FOR THE MOTOR ALONE.

P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR INPUT FAILURE. FORD SAYS THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS ON THIS VIN EVER.

VACUUM PUMP AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED ON MY F150. FORD STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER "15N05" EXTENDED COVERAGE/RECALL. VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE EFFECTED PLANTS DURING THE TIME LISTED IN THE BULLETIN. FORD IS CHARGING ME OVER $1300 TO FIX MY VEHICLE, DESPITE THIS BEING A KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD NOT STOP MY TRUCK UNTIL I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK NEARLY HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE ON COLD START AS THE RPM'S RUN SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT IDLE. TOOK 2011 F150 TO DEALER FOR SERVICING OF THE BRAKES AND DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND STATED VACUUM ASSIST PUMP IS NOT WORKING AND WILL BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS CHANGED, DEALER TESTED AND CALLED ME AND SAID TRUCK WAS REPAIRED. I PICK THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER AND BACK UP, AGAIN NO BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR AS I AM STILL MOVING IN REVERSE I PUT SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND COME TO A STOP. I THEN SHIFT INTO DRIVE TO PARK THE TRUCK AND AGAIN NO BRAKES AND DRIVE OVER THE CURB PROTECTING FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. DEALER PERFORMS MAINTENANCE AND FINDS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS AN INTERNAL ISSUE CAUSING BLEED OFF LOSS IN PRESSURE. I ASK IF THIS IS A RECALL ITEM AND THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS NOT. WAITING FOR REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED AND WILL COST $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS STATED THAT THIS WAS A HIGHLY DISCOUNTED RATE.

FORD HAS A RECALL(16S19) ON 2011-2012 F-150 TRUCKS BUT ACCORDING TO MY VIN MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED. ON OCCASIONS MY I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. WHAT DO I DO?

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN APRIL AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND HEAT BECAUSE IT WAS CHILLY OUTSIDE. WITHIN MINUTES, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED OUTWARD, STARTLING US AND ALMOST CAUSING US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. WE FEEL FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL 2011 F-150S TO REPLACE THE REAR DEFROST, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE, AND REPLACE EVERY REAR WINDOW THAT SHATTERED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TRUCKS REAR TIRES LOCKED UP TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR I SEE THERE IS A RECALL MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL WHAT CAN I DO .

WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND JERK, LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ON MAJOR ROAD IN TRAFFIC AND INDICATOR PANEL DISPLAYED WRENCH. PER OWNERS MANUAL APPEARS TO BE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND TRUCK IS IN 'LIMP HOME' MODE, WILL NEED TOW. TRUCK IS 2011 FORD F150, LARIAT WITH V6 ECOBOOST TURBO. MILEAGE IS ONLY 64K, TRUCK IS LIGHTLY USED, HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN HARD, OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

I OFTEN CAN NOT TURN ON THE CAR DUE TO THE "P" PARKING LIGHT NOT TURN ON. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS SOME SENSOR THAT HAS AN INTERMITTENT FAULT. I ALREADY WENT TO FORD AUTONATION - MARGATE, FL AND THEY DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT I'VE BEEN SUFFERING FROM THIS SAME DEFECT FOR A LONG TIME.

SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND I EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. IT TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO A SAFE LOCATION.

THE TRUCK WILL BE IN 5 OR 6 GEAR AND THROW ITS SELF DOWN INTO 3RD GEAR WITH OUT WARNING .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS HIGH SPEEDS ON AN INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION'S GEAR SHIFTING ABILITY MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND THE SPEEDOMETER DECREASED TO ZERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (VIVA FORD, 5550 N DESERT BLVD, EL PASO, TEXAS 79912, (915) 834-2800) DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC LEAD FRAME, FOAM SEAL, BULKHEAD CONNECTOR, AND OIL PAN GASKET WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000.

TRUCK SHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. CAUSED TRUCK TO SLIDE AND THEN GAUGES FAILED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CUT ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FINE. TRUCK DOES THIS ABOUT EVERY TWO DAYS. THIS WAS ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WHEN I CRANK THE VEHICLE AND PUT IN REVERSE THE BRAKES DO NOT HAVE ANY PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY GRINDS TO A HALT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD. ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER CRANKING THE BRAKES WORK FINE. I HAVE NEARLY BACKED DOWN A LARGE HILL MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHEN STARTING TRUCK AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, THE VACUUM PUMP IS LOUD FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES. CONCURRENTLY THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR. WHEN STARTING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONE CANNOT TRUST THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE WHEN THE PETAL IS DEPRESSED. ONCE THE NOISE DIMINISHES THE BRAKES WORK.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT HAS BEGUN TO RIDE CHOPPY WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 40-MPH AND 60-MPH. THE CHOPPY PERFORMANCE GOES AWAY WHEN HARD ACCELERATING (PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR) AT THOSE SPEEDS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN CONTINUOUSLY DOING THIS AT 60-MPH. THE TRUCK STARTS TO LOSE POWER AND DOES NOT SHIFT, NOR RIDE SMOOTHLY AT THE SPEEDS; THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHIMMY. THIS HAS MAINLY OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAYS, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS HIGHER, BUT THE PROBLEMS HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON SIDE STREETS. IT OCCURS ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING, NOT IN DECELERATION.

TAKATA RECALL...WHILE DRIVING ACROSS TOWN I NOTICED MY TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL ACTING, VERY DIFFERENT. WHILE ARRIVING AT A STOP LIGHT, AT A BUSY INTERSECTION I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL STIFFEN AND LOOSEN REPEATEDLY UNTIL FINALLY IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE SLIGHTEST TURN BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE. IT WAS NOT UNTIL AFTER MY WHEEL STIFFENED THAT MY TRUCK'S DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT SAID (SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW). THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THIS WAS THAT ALL OF MY CHILDREN WERE WITH ME. HAD MY TEEN DAUGHTER CHOSEN TO BORROW MY TRUCK FOR AN ERRAND, IN A DIFFERENT CITY EARLIER THAT DAY, SHE MIGHT HAVE EITHER BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR SHE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A FATAL CAR CRASH TRAVELING 60 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. MY TRUCK DID NOT NOTIFY MY OF ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL IT 2-3 MINUTES AFTER IT HAPPENED. WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR PLANS AND DRIVE TO A NEARBY FAMILY MEMBER'S HOUSE. WHICH WASN'T MY PRIOR DESTINATION. I HAD TO REALLY USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO MAKE TURNS OR TO SIMPLY MOVE 2 INCHES TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ESPECIALLY AS I TURN INTO INTERSECTIONS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? I'VE LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND THERE'S DIFFERENT FORUMS WITH PLENTY OF ISSUES LIKE MINE. SOME WITH VERY LOW MILES AND MID MILES LIKE MINE. I'VE CALLED FORD AND THEY DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC INJURIES OR DEATHS, HOW MANY DO THEY NEED FOR THERE TO BE

2011 FORD F150 5.0 LARIAT, VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE ON HIGHWAY CAUSING REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND SLIDE OFFROAD TO STOP. WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER CURRENT RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE EVEN AFTER ALL VEHICLE SPECS AND BUILT AT SAME PLANT

POWER STEERING IS " HITCHY " AND DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER AFTER A TURN , THIS REQUIRES CONSTANT STEERING EFFORT TO STAY WITHIN ONES LANE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IT IS QUITE UNNERVING .THE VEHICLE HAS 52221 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WILL RANDOMLY UNLATCH. AT THIS POINT THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH UNTIL YOU GET OUT AND MANUALLY MOVE THE LATCHING MECHANISM.

2011 FORD F-150 LARIAT 5.0. 132,000 MILES. 16N02 ' MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED COVERAGE ' 2011-2012 FORD & LINCOLN. MY F-150 BUILT IN JANUARY 2011 AT KANSAS CITY ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE DUE TO THE RANGE OF MONTHS COVERED IN 2011. MY TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED WHILE DRIVING.THE WRENCH INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY GO INTO 5TH GEAR AFTER I STOPPED AND CYCLED THE KEY. WHEN DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LIMP MODE, IT DOWNSHIFTED AGAIN AND WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. DEALER IS REPLACING THE LEAD FRAME, ELECTRICAL SLEEVE, AND THE NECESSARY FILTER, FLUID, AND PAN GASKET. THEY ADMIT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE TSB BUT I AM NOT COVERED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNWILLING TO HELP. LUCKY FOR ME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ON A BACK ROAD CLOSE TO HOME. IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CURRENT COVERAGE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. FORD SHOULD NOT BE MAKING MONEY IN THE SERVICE LANE OFF THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T JUST FEEL THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. I KNOW WE SHOULD.

THE TRUCK WHEN MAKING A TURN TO THE LEFT STICKS WHEN TRYING TO RETURN WHEEL TO STRIGHT. IN A NORMAL TURN WHEN YOU FINISH THE TURN YOU CAN LET THE WHEEL SLIDE THRU YOUR HANDS AND IT WILL STRIGHTEN BY IT SELF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ENDED UP IN THE OTHER LANE. I'VE BEEN CHECKING ON LINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EPAS GEAR FOR THIS YEAR TRUCK. FORD SHOULD ORDER A RECALL TO FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM. THIS ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN.

OUR FORD F150 HAS MANIFESTED SEVERAL DANGEROUS FACTORY MALFUNCTIONS AS OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE AT LEAST 4 FORD RECALLS / CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM EXTENSIONS THAT OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO BUT ISN'T. WE NEED HELP WITH GETTING FORD TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRING OUR VEHICLE UNDER AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING RECALLS: ' RECALL NUMBER 16V24800 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ' RECALL NUMBER 11V582000 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ' RECALL NUMBER 12V190000 POWER TRAIN: AUTO TRANS: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) ' RECALL NUMBER 10V659000 STRUCTURE BODY (INTERNAL SHORT / FIRE HAZARD) ' CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM WARRANTEE EXTENSION 16S19 WE ARE FORCED TO KEEP OUR TRUCK OFF THE ROAD UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD A FEW THOUSAND TO REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE, LEAD FRAME AND POSSIBLY TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTS INTO LOWER GEARS WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 20-55 MILES PER HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO HESITATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING. IT SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKES A 'HONK' SOUND. THERE WERE A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO PARK WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS OR IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHEN I INTENDED TO GO INTO DRIVE. CLEARLY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VACUUM PUMP POSE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS TO OUR FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP IN GETTING FORD TO EXTEND SOME OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTEES AND RECALLS TO OUR FORD F150 SO THAT WE COULD RETURN TO USING OUR FAMILY/WOR

IT IS SCARY WHEN THE THE BREAK PEDAL LOCKS IN MIDAIR. WE HAVE TO PRESS IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS DELAYS STOPPING THE TRUCK IN A TIMELY FASHION. ALSO THERE IS A HUMMING/ RATTLING SOUND IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD AT LEAST A MONTH UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WE DISCOVERED THAT THE TRUCK WAS ENTITLED TO THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM EXTENDED WARRENTEE NOTICE 15N05 POSTED IN 2016. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS 188,000 MILES. THIS PROGRAM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL MATTER SINCE SO MANY F150'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOT FAIR THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD TO FIGHT TO THE RIGHT TO FIX THE ISSUE AND FORD ONLY GIVES CONSUMERS WITH OVER 150,000 MILES JUST OVER ONE YEAR TO GET IT REPAIRED FOR FREE. NOW WE ARE FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP WHICH WOULD HAVE ENDED OUR WORRIES WITH THE BREAKS AND THE RATTLING SOUND. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP IN GETTING FORD TO EXTEND SOME OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTEES AND RECALLS TO OUR FORD F150 SO THAT WE COULD RETURN TO USING OUR FAMILY/WORK TRUCK SAFELY. THANK YOU.

STARTED WITH AN 'ADVANCE TRAC' SERVICE INDICATOR WARNING AT FIRST WHILE TURNING OR BACKING UP. THEN WHILE IN REVERSE, A PARKING ASSIST SERVICE INDICATOR WARNING APPEARED ON DISPLAY. THESE WARNINGS DID NOT LAST LONG AND WAS NOT APPEARING EVERY START UP. THE WARNING ITSELF DID NOT PREPARE ME FOR A STEERING LOCK UP EITHER. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FORD MADE ALL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, WHICH IS HAVOC AND COULD'VE BEEN AN EASIER FIX IF A CONSUMER COULD'VE JUST ADDED FLUID. A WEEK LATER WHILE TURNING INTO DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING TOTALLY LOCKED UP MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES ON SIDE OF US TO COLLIDE WITH. SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS YET AND MANY COMPLAINTS ON SAME SUBJECT, THIS WILL BE A COSTLY EXPENSE FOR US AS FORD TRIES TO SEE IF THIS ALL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WILL WORK OR NOT. WE SHOULD BE NOT GUINEA PIGS FOR THIS EXPERIMENT AND FORD SHOULD HAVE TESTED AND VETTED THOROUGHLY BEFORE PUT ON MARKET. WE'VE JUST HIT 100K MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

MY 2011 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST STEERING IS STICKING PRETTY BAD WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN. IT VARIES BETWEEN A GRADUAL LEFT TURN TO A SHARP 90 DEGREE TURN, BUT I ALWAYS HAVE TO "PULL" IT BACK TO THE RIGHT TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE OUT. IT SEEMS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU MEET A SEMI AND THE STEERING STICKS AND I'M AFRAID OF OVER CORRECTING THE VEHICLE. I HAD A CLOSE CALL THE OTHER MORNING SO I PARKED IT TO AVOID ANY FUTURE MISHAPS.

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

THE TRUCK IS HAVING THE TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEAD FRAME ISSUE. TODAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 75 ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOCKUP. PRIOR TO THIS, IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE GAGES WILL JUMP ALL OVER WITH SPEED AND RPM. THE GEARS WOULD ALSO JUMP ALL OVER. I POSTED A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/DF0DB7RAMPI THIS HAS HAPPENED MOST DAYS SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURANCE

2011 FORD F150 VACUUM ASSIST PUMP FAILED AND WAS REPLACED ON 10/19/16 AT 79320 MILES. THE PUMP IS FAILING AGAIN IT MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 107757 MILES AND FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PUMP UNDER WARRANTY RECALL. THE NEW PUMP STARTED MAKING NOISE AROUND 03/18 WITH 102000 MILES. THE NEW PUMP ONLY LASTED 17 MONTHS AND 22600 MILES. FORD IS REPLACING A BAD PUMP WITH A BAD PUMP

I OWN A 2011 FORD F150 ECO BOOST. THIS TRUCK HAS STARTED HARD SHIFTING UP AND DOWN IN MY TRASMISSION. TAKEN TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND COST ME AROUND 80 BUCKS TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE DIAGNOSTICS. DRIVING IT THEY TELL ME I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST ME 4700.00. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH FORD LATELY???? I DON'T HAVE THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY JUST LYING AROUND!!! I NEED MY TRANSMISSION FIXED. THERE IS A RECALL ON 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS BUT WHEN I TALKED TO SOMEONE THEY TELL ME IT'S NOT ON MINE!! THIS IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE!! IF ONE HAS A PROBLEM THEN ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED!! WHO DO I HAVE TO CALL TO GET SOME ANSWERS??? I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND DON'T HAVE A BUTT LOAD OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS TRUCK. MY QUESTION IS, IS THE FORD COMPANY GOING TO? OR DID I NEED TO BUY A CHEVY NEXT TIME??? ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK.

REAR GLASS SHATTERED DUE TO REAR DEFROST SHORTING OUT. STARTED TRUCK AFTER SOME FREEZING RAIN AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. STARTED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD AND ABOUT 10 MINS LATER ON THE HIGHWAY I HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN BLAST. THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED BUT WAS STILL IN PLACE. I TAPED IT UP. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THIS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
