2011 Ford F-150 complaints

MY TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AT 48 THOUSAND MILES. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RE-CALL ON THIS. IT IS NOT OK THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT. LONG TIME FORD OWNER AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED

ISSUE: REAR POWER SLIDE WINDOW HEATED ON THE WAY TO TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING I HAD MY REAR GLASS DEFROST ON TO HELP REDUCE THE FOG ON THE GLASS. ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE THE PANEL OF GLASS RIGHT BEHIND HIS HEAD SHATTERED (REAR WINDOW, PASSENGER PANEL) WITH A VERY LOUD AND SCARY BOOM. UPON PULLING OVER AND INSPECTING THE GLASS BOTH INSIDE AND OUT THERE WAS ZERO SIGNS THAT ANYTHING HAD ACTUALLY HIT HT REAR GLASS. IT IS STILL IN THE WINDOW AND SMOOTH IN APPEARANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE, JUST CRACKED INTO A MILLION SMALL PIECES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT FORD AND OR THEIR GLASS MFG. NEED TO OWN UP ONE. THIS COSTS US, THE OWNERS $500+ EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE AND EVENTUALLY A CHILD SITTING IN THE REAR IS GOING TO GET GLASS BLASTED INTO THEIR HEAD. PLEASE HELP US AND KEEP OUT CHILDREN SAFE!! THANK YOU

TRANSMISSION JUMPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR WITH NO APPARENT RELATION TO VEHICLES SPEED OR THROTTLE POSITION. IF THE TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO DROP INTO 1ST AT SUFFICIENT SPEED TO LOCK THE DRIVE WHEELS THIS IS TERRIFYING AND INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. FORD KNOWS THIS CONDITION EXISTS ON 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS BUT SEEMS UNWILLING TO WIDEN THE RECALL. MAYBE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS. ITS A MIRACLE THIS HASN'T LEAD TO A LOSS OF LIFE INCIDENT YET.

ITS A MIRACLE THIS HASN'T LEAD TO A LOSS OF LIFE INCIDENT YET.

THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

REAR RIGHT 3 PIECE WINDOW SHATTERED BY HAVING THE DEFROST ON.

REAR WINDOWS EQUIPPED WITH DEFROSTER AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS WITH SLIDER WINDOWS SHATTER WHEN THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON IS USED. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SLIDER WINDOW AND UPON REPLACING AT SAFELITE GLASS THEY SAID THEY SEE THIS FREQUENT ON FORD TRUCKS AND THAT TO PREVENT IS TO EITHER NOT HOOKUP DEFROST WHEN WINDOW IS REPLACED OR NOT USE THE REAR DEFROST.

I HAVE SEVERAL OCCASION FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF MY F150 NOT STARTING WHEN TURNING THE KEY ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASION OF THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED. JUST RECENTLY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND AT A SMALL ANGLE AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. I TRIED TO CRANK IT OVER BUT IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. I'VE HAD IT STALL TWICE WHILE I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO TOW IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. I THINK I MAY HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE ISSUE WHICH MAY POINT TO A FAULTY 20AMP FUEL PUMP FUSE. I FOUND SOME ARTICLES POINTING TO FUSE 27 AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS BURNT ON ONE SIDE. I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOT ISSUING A MANDATORY RECALL UNTIL ALL THESE TRUCKS ARE FIXED. HAD THIS BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS OR LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. NO RHYME OR REASON. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PROBABLY GOING 35 TO 40MPH. IT THREW EVERYONE IN THE CABIN FORWARD LIKE WE HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE SIMILARITIES OF A RECALL ON THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FORD STATES MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL INTO THE CATEGORY BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN THEIR CANADIAN PLANT.

WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LCD GOES BLACK, ASSISTED POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS COMES BACK ON AND STEERING RAPIDLY CORRECTS TO CURRENT POSITION. SO FAR HAS MOSTLY HAPPENED DURING THE FIRST FEW MINUTES AFTER RUNNING. SO FAR THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A STRAIGHT STRETCH.

THE MORNING AFTER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN NOVEMBER. I WENT TOO START IT ON A COLD MORNING AND NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. ONLY DOES IT WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS MY TIMING CHAIN. AND THE DEALER WOULDN'T FIX IT SINCE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THE REAR WINDOW DOESN'T DEFROST BUT THE MIRRORS DO. DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FIRE WHEN IT IS KNOWN THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND FORD DOESN'T ISSUE A RECALL. TO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING BTHIS BPROBLEM AND THERE ARE FIRES AND REAR WINDOWS BLOWING OUT.

2011 FORD F150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT, EXPERIENCED THE SAME MALFUNCTION AS DESCRIBED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE WHEELS LOCKED, AND THE ABS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (LAKE VIEW FORD, 12381 CONNEAUT LAKE RD, CONNEAUT LAKE, PA 16316), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: CAS-14072276. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOCAL DEALER COULD USE THEIR PAS TO ASSIST WITH REPAIR FEES, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, WITH THE VEHICLE IN SIXTH GEAR, IT DOWNSHIFTED INTO FOURTH GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (LUGOFF FORD, 979 US 1, LUGOFF, SC 29076) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS, BUT PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,400. *TT *TR

WHEN DRIVING UNDER SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING. AFTER MAKING THE TURN. MY STEERING GETS TIGHT AND I HAVE TO MANUALLY FORCE MY STEERING TO GO BACK STRAIGHT. IT SEAMS AFTER SOME DRIVING IT MAY LOOSEN UP. BUT IT DOSE DO IT LATER ON OTHER TURNS. SOME TIMES IT IS HARD TO TURN INTO A CORNER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY FORCE THE WHEEL TO MAKE THE TURN. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION.

STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR STREET, SOMETIMES GETS HARD WHILE TURNING. IM SCARE THAT IT WILL FAIL WHILE DRIVING.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2011 F150 HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. NOT ONLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN TO MY MECHANIC TOMORROW FOR A DIAGNOSIS. TRUCK HAS 80K MILES ON IT.

AT 10K BLOWING BLACK SMOKE, LOSE POWER WHEN PASSING AT 10K ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT 40K. DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND CLEARED CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. AT 54 K ENGINE RAN ROUGH AND WANTED TO STALL, BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE. TOWED TO DEALER. TIMING CHAINS WENT BAD AND BENT VALVES. DEALER SAID 10,000 DOLLARS FOR NEW ENGINE. I TALKED TO FORD AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DEALER SAID TO CALL THEM AGAIN. THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE AGAIN. NEXT DAY DEALER CALLED AND SAID THEY WOULD DO THE ENGINE FOR 5643.00 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES!

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPLIGHT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT UP SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR AND SPEEDOMETER INDICATED ZERO.

WHILE RUNNING THE DEFROSTER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW POPPED AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING GOING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH. I WAS NOT TURNING.

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING

THE BACK WINDOW OF MY F150 SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE TRUCK IS KEPT IN STORAGE BECAUSE IT'S USED ONLY TO PULL A CAMPER ON A FEW OCCASSIONS DURING THE YEAR. ON JANUARY 25, 2018 I WENT INTO THE BED OF THE F150 TO INSTALL A NEW BREAK LIGHT INTO THE DOME OF THE BED. ONCE THE LIGHT WAS INSTALLED, I OPENED THE DOOR OF THE F150 TO TEST THE LIGHT AND I MANUALLY WITH MY HAND, PRESSED DOWN GENTLY ON THE BRAKE. THE BREAK LIGHT WENT ON AND I RE-ATTACHED THE LIGHTING UNIT TO THE TRUCK. ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THAT A LOUD BOOM WAS HEARD AND I SAW THAT THE REAR WINDOW THAT DIVIDES THE CAB SEAT AND THE BED, ON THE PASSANGER SIDE WAS NOT ONLY SHATTERED, BUT THE MIDDLE HAD BROKEN APART AND THERE WAS GLASS NOT ONLY IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, BUT ALSO THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK WAS COVERED IN GLASS. THE TRUCK WAS IN A GARAGE WHERE IT HAD BEEN STORED FOR WEEKS EARLIER. AT NO TIME WAS THE MOTOR EVER STARTED NOR WERE THE KEYS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. THE DEFROST UNIT WAS NOT ON. IT APPEARS THAT SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IN THE FORD TRUCK HAS CAUSED THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE UP HILL, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE RPMS DECREASED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TRIPLE J FORD (470 MARINE CORPS DRIVE, TAMUNING, GUAM 96913, 671-648-2277) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE DUE TO NO FAILURE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. WHEN TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE RECURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 1,500 RPMS. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT OF THE COIL PACKS, SPARK PLUGS, O2 SENSORS, AND AN INJECTOR CLEANING. ON APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 5, 2017, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE SECOND SET OF REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE TURBO BOOST FOR THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PIPE WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED THAT THE TACHOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THREE INJECTORS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND WAS HELPING TO GET THE FAILURES RESOLVED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. AN UNKNOWN FORD DEALER IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THE TRUCK IS MAKING A SEVERE RATTLING NOISE UPON START UP, WHICH CAUSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ONE. CODES ARE SAYING ITS TIMING CHAIN RELATED. TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, YOU CAN'T PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN WITHOUT IT STALLING OUT OR WITHOUT IT MISSING REAL BAD AND JERKING. HAD TRUCK WORKED ON PREVIOUSLY BY FORD DEALER FOR THE MISSING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COIL PACK AND CHANGED IT OUT AND PLUGS AND WIRES. HERE I AM WITHIN 10,000 MILES LATER AND ITS WORST THAN EVER. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE ECOBOOST ENGINES AND TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT A $40,000+ VEHICLE CAN'T MAKE IT PAST 70,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS ISSUE. ZERO ASSISTANCE OR HELP. NEXT STEP AFTER THIS OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WILL BE A LAW SUIT.

ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR WINDOW HEATER, A LARGE BANG SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW PANEL WAS SHATTERED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 34F.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE REVERSE INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE BACK UP CAMERA FAILED TO RESPOND. THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED, THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,986.

I HAVE A 2011 F150 ECOBOOST. WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE THE LEVER ON THE TRUCK DOES NOT DIAL REVERSE AND THE TRUCK WONT GO IN GEAR, AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THERE IS A WRENCH THAT APPEARS IN THE DASH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRUCK IS FINALLY ABLE TO MOVE BACK BUT THE REVERSE LIGHTS WONT WORK WHILE THE TRUCK IS BACKING UP THE REVERSE SENSORS OR CAMERA DONT WORK EITHER MAKING THIS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRUCK ALSO EXPERIENSES A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. AFTER THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR INDICATING THERE IS AN ISSUE NONE OF THE OTHER GEARS LIGHT UP WHEN I CHANGE TO OTHER GEARS AND IF I PUT IT ON DRIVE THE TRUCK HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF POWER. AND STILL WITH THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, IF I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND STEP ON THE GAS A LITTLE BIT THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN FOR A ABOUT 6 ECONDS. THIS ONLY GOES AWAY IF I TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND BACK ON, BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WILL HAVE ALL THE ISSUES AGAIN. AND THERE IS NO READING OF THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE EITHER. I CONNECTED A SCANNER TO THE TRUCK TO DIAGNOSE IT AND IT GAVE ME THE CODE: P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT (PRNDL INPUT) I HAD THE TRUCK SCANNED ALSO BY DIFFERENT SCANNERS AND ALL 3 GIVE THE SAME CODE. THAT CAODE CALLS FOR A BAD TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR, BUT I LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS NO SENSOR ON THE SIDE. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND SOME FORD MECHANICS SAY CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME WILL FIX

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I CONNECTED A CODE READER AND PULLED A P0016. CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT CORRELATION SENSOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS CODE. AFTER CHECKING OUT THE ENGINE THEY FOUND THAT THE PRIMARY TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED CAUSING THE PLAY IN THE ENGINE. THIS PLAY CAUSES THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT TIMING TO BE OFF ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS ENGINE CODE. THIS TRUCK HAS 55000 MILES ON IT AND IN NO WAY SHOULD BE HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES THIS SOON. CLEARLY FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIMING CHAIN AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND $3,500.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE THESE TRUCKS AND NEEDS TO OFFER A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

WHILE MOVING, USUALLY ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS AT RANDOM, OFTEN FROM HIGH SPEED (5TH OR 6TH GEAR) DOWN TO A LOW GEAR, THEN BACK TO HIGHER GEAR, THEN BACK TO LOWER GEAR, ETC. THIS CAN HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES FROM 0 TO ACTUAL SPEED. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES BOUNCY, LURCHING MOVEMENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS & COUNTY HIGHWAYS. HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS) FAILURE. AT LOW SPEEDS STEERING WOULD LOCK UP WHILE TURNING.

2011 FORD F150 TRAVELING AT 65 MPH STRAIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND THEN DOWN SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE WHEELS LOCKED UP AND LOSS CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO A DRY DITCH. RESEARCH SHOW A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE16S19/NHTSA RECALL16V-248. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL. ALSO FORDS INFO FOR THIS RECALL STATES THAT 2011 F150 BUILT AT DEARBORN PLANT BETWEEN THE DATES OF FEBRUARY 11 2011 TO SEPTEMBER 8 2012 ARE COVERED IN THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY BUT IS NOT COVERED. IF I WERE TO HAVE BEEN ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT

DRIVING ALONG AT 50MPH ON FLAT ROAD AND SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO SQUEAL LASTING .5 TO 1 SECOND. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANY CODE.

IT WAS A COLD MORNING AND I SWITCHED ON THE REAR WINDOW HEAT TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN HAD BEEN DISCHARGED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALL DASHBOARD INDICATORS WERE IN THE NORMAL RANGE. AS I LEFT WORK LATER THAT DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. ALL OF THE GLASS FRAGMENTS HAD REMAINED IN THE WINDOW FRAME. I BELIEVE THAT THE WINDOW HEAT MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70-75 MPH, TRANSMISSION SELF-SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR. DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL, BOTH REQUIRING REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHE DOWNSHIFT OCCURRED. COULD HAVE CAUSED COLLISION.

MISFIRE AT HIGH SPEEDS. CAUSING ENGINE SHAKE AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM IT IS A HUGE RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF SPEED DROP. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN . SPARK PLUG AND COIL CHANGE ONLY HELPS FOR A MONTH AT A TIME. THIS IS IN THE ECOBOOST MODEL

WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND APPEARS TO MISFIRE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE AND BLACK SMOKE APPEARS FROM THE EXHAUST. THIS OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED IN THE BEGINNING AND THE CODE REFERENCED A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE IGNITION COILS WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED WITHOUT ANY CODES APPEARING.

SUDDENLY STEERING WHEEL LOCK, ADVANCE TRACK SENSOR LIT , EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN , VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NO RECALL AVAILABLE, BUT TOO MANY ISSUES APPARENTLY WAITING FOR A FATALITY TO HAPPEN BEFORE A RECALL VEHICLE STATIONARY/IN CITY/ HAPPENED 2 TIMES ALREADY I'M AFRAID THIS HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION. DIAGNOSED RACK AND PINION EPAS

F-150 TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AT SOME POINTS, WILL UP SHIFT INTO 3RD OR 5TH GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING RANDOMLY AND WILL DROP INTO 2ND/1ST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ALMOST DAILY. VEHICLE IS NOW UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.

I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED RAPIDLY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. THE SYSTEM WENT INTO "SAFE MODE, ALSO KNOWN AS LIMP HOME." THIS MALFUNCTION (FORD CODE P2112) HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK.

NO LEFT REAR BREAK LIGHT, NO LEFT REAR TURN LIGHT, ONLY FLASHES QUICKLY ON LEFT SIDE MIRROR AND LEFT FRONT TURN SIGNAL. HAD IT TESTED WITH 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, WHO ALL STATE MODULAR DEFECT. TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS CLAIM NO ISSUE WITH VINN#, YET THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SAME ISSUE. PROBLEM IS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. NEW BULBS SHORT OUT. UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE INSPECTED DUE TO ISSUE.

FROM THE TIME I LEASED MY 2011 F-150 THERE HAS BEEN CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION JUMPING OR SURGING, ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING IMPACTED THE TRUCK FROM THE REAR. LOUD BANG AND WHAT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED AT ONE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG, FINALLY IN 2017, AFTER PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR, DID THE DEALERSHIP REALIZE THAT IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I HAVE BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE SINCE, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY FURTHER EFFORTS WILL POTENTIALLY BE AT MY OWN COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN PROMPTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PALM COAST FORD IN PALM COAST, FLORIDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TRANSMISSION - ENGINE SUDDENLY SHIFTS GEARS CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN ABRUPTLY WHILE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES WHILE TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY

VEHICLE WAS SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY SLOWING DOWN, SOMETIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP, WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER DUE TO A RECALL. ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL, HOWEVER I HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEABLE FOR OVER 3 MONTHS AND I CANNOT GET IT FIXED.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER VEHICLE. OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO STEERING WHEEL AT ANY SPEED TO KEEP VEHICLE ON THE ROAD OR WITHIN LANE OF TRAVEL. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE DRIVING ON CITY STREET WHEN I WENT TO TURN AT A CORNER. THIS ISSUE WOULD MAKE RECOVERY FOR SKID IN WINTER WEATHER EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

ON 11/25/17 I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE TRUCK STARTED BUCKING AND DOWNSHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND PARK THE TRUCK AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A TRUSTED REPAIR SHOP. THE TRUCK WAS STILL BUCKING FAIRLY VIOLENTLY EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PARK IT. THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED AND A TRANSMISSION SHIFT SOLENOID AND HARNESS WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY.

TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST AND LOCKED UP THE REAR TIRES.
