2011 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS AT A CONSTANT SPEED THE SPEEDOMETER WILL START JUMPING AROUND AND THE TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT TO MATCH THE LOWER SPEEDS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED GREATLY REDUCING MY SPEED CAUSING THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME TO SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. OCCASIONALLY WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A START THE TRUCK WILL IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO 5TH GEAR LOSING ALL ACCELERATION. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IMMEDIATELY THE PROBLEM WILL USUALLY GO AWAY.

VEHICLE, LOSING POWER GOING UP HILLS RPM CLIMES SLOWLY. ALMOST FULL LOSS OF POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THAN OFF AFTER STOPPING

DOOR LATCH SYMBOL COMES ON AND DINGS. AND THEN INTERIOR LOVE GOT STAYS ON.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERS AFTER DEFROSTER GOES OUT CAUSING WINDOW TO BREAK APART AND FALL OUT. REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING 65 ON HIGHWAY

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

TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHILE I WAS DRIVING DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE DEFROST MECHANISM

2011 FORD F150, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PASSENGER SIDE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN LOST POWER. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BOX FAILED AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO BURN. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED CAVALIER FORD LINCOLN GREENBRIER (1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, PHONE: 757) 424-1111) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE FAILURE AND, IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED, THERE WOULD BE A FEE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION CHANGED GEARS SPERATICLY FROM 1 TO 2 TO 5TH BACK TO FIRST CAUSING MY REAR END TO LOCK UP TEMPORARILY THEN SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. THE METERS SHOWED THAT IT WAS THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED CONTROL SENSOR. I WAS IN WAYNESBORO, MS ON JOHN PERRY MCMICHAEL RD.THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED IN MANY OF THE 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS OF THIS SAME YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT JOLTED. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN ENGAGING INTO GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PENSKE FORD, 8970 LA MESA BLVD, LA MESA, CA 91942) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

2011 F-150 FORD TRUCK 3.7 V6 REPLACE BATTERY 10/2017 12/12/17,12/13/17,12/14/17 TRUCK STALLS, WHEN IN MOVEMENT, (WRENCH APPEARS) ON SCREEN SLOW DOWNS LOCKS UP. PARK TRUCK SIDE OF ROAD-UNABLE TO USE. SHUT DOWN RESTART 10 MINS TRUCK RESPONDS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED? LOCAL MECHANIC COMPUTER UNABLE TO SAY WHAT IS WRONG UNLESS TRUCK STALLS INFRONT OF MECHANIC TO GET CODE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO RESPONSE TO THIS IMMEDIATELY. ON THE INTERNET PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY.

GOING AROUND 70MPH ON ROUTE 95, TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTS FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST ON IT'S OWN, REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I SKIDDED NEARLY OFF THE ROAD. LUCKILY I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD IT WAS SO JOLTING. CAME TO A STOP, NO DASH LIGHTS OR ENGINE INDICATORS CAME ON. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES, TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, EVERYTHING SEEMED OK, SLOWLY DROVE THE NEXT 2 MILES TO MY OFFICE. CHECKING FORD'S WEBSITE, THERE APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IS THE ISSUE, CAUSING RANDOM DOWNSHIFTS.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #16V248000 .... WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS. THE RPMS WILL THEN BEGIN FLUCTUATING UP AND DOWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER AND LURCH. THE TRANSMISSION THEN BEGINS TO SLIP AROUND. THE INDICATOR SHOWS IT BOUNCING FROM 2 TO 6 TO 1. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO CHECK THE SENSORS AND IT CAME BACK THAT THE SOLENOIDS WERE STUCK. THEY RESET THE SENSORS, BUT THE SYMPTOMS BEGAN AGAIN NOT MORE THAN 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD.

MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR AT ALL TIMES BUT SPECIFICALLY WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET RAN INTO ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST SEEMS YOU LOSE CONTROL FOR A BIT, ITS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS AND IS GETTING WORSE, I SAW FORD HAD A RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF THING BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T IN MY BATCH OF TRUCKS, I THINK MY BATCH SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS DOING EXACTLY THAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED FROM THE FIFTH TO THE FIRST GEAR. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER MOVED ERRATICALLY AND WAS UNABLE TO REGISTER THE EXACT SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION IN THE SPEED SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (PERFORMANCE FORD IN TOOELE, UT, 888-625-0136), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 142,000.

NOT SURE OF NAME BUT SEND INFO FROM TRANSMISSION SO IT WILL START. LETS IGNITION KNOW VEHICLE IS IN PARK SO IT WILL START. MY DEALER TELLS ME FORD HAS OVER 4,000 ON BACK ORDER SO IT MAY BE A WHILE BEFORE MY TRUCK GETS FIXED. THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD IT FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH. I AM PAYING $500 A MONTH FOR SOMETHING I CAN NOT DRIVE DUE TO MANUFACTURER PART DEFECTIVE OR ON BACK ORDER.

OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENCER GOES BAD IT DROPE TRANSMISSION TO FIRST GEAR WITH NO WARMING CAUSING THE TIRES TO SLIE AND ENGINE TO REACH EXCESSIVE RPM. FELLS LIKE STOMPING ON THE BREAKS

RACK AND PINION IS SHOT. THE STEERING WOULD STICK WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING IT OVER THE LAST 2 YRS. WENT TO MOVE THE TRUCK INTO OUR SHOP AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON IT.

ELECTRIC STEERING CAUSED VEHICLE TO DART AND MOST DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY IT TENDS TO STICK AND IS A LITTLE HARD TO CONTROL WHEN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS MOST ALL OF THE TIME. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OVER 25 MPH.

TRUCK DARTS TO LEFT ACROSS CENTER LANE OF ROAD WITH OUT NOTICE IT FEELS AS IF THOUGH IT IS STUCK THERE I MUST USE A TUG ON STEERING WHEEL TO PULL IT BACK IT RELEASES QUICKLY CAUSING OVER CORRECTION AND ALMOST CAUSING RUNNING OFF RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK OVER 40 MILES PER HR. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW, I WELCOME THE FACTORY WARRENTY REPT. TO COME DRIVE IT JUST A COUPLE OF MILES TO SEE JUST HOW UNSAFE IT IS TO DRIVE

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT WHICH RESULTED IN ME ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. WHILE MOVING, THE STEERING WOULD LOCK UP FOR A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE ALLOWING ME TO ADJUST THE WHEEL. AFTER TAKING A TURN, THE STEERING LOCKS OUT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TURN AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE TRUCK BACK DRIVING STRAIGHT. APPARENTLY THIS IS GOING TO COST ME OVER 1,500$ TO GET FIXED. FORD HAS DONE RECALLS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, SO WHY NOT INCLUDE THE F-150 IN THE RECALLS? PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 2 GRAND OUT OF POCKET FOR FAULTY PARTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS GOING TO LEAD TO SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

2011 FORD F-150 LARIAT APPROXIMATELY 77,000 MILES. POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING COMES ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY SO OTHER THAN BEING DIFFICULT TO STEER THERE HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE BUT IF IT HAPPENS WHEN TURNING IT COULD DEFINITELY CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH. AFTER A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A TREMENDOUS ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR MODEL TRUCK. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF FORD RECALLING THOUSANDS OF OTHER MODELS FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ASSIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND MANUALLY RESTART THE VEHICLE, WHICH TEMPORARILY ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO BE FUNCTIONAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAPLES FORD (900 MAIN ST, WARSAW, MO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEARBOX WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,885. .*BF UPDATED 8/20/18*JB

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FAULTY MOLDED LEAD FRAME. IT SEEMS THERE WAS ALREADY A RECALL INVOLVING THIS PART, AND FORD INITIATED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02. HOWEVER ALL PARTIES HAVE STATED THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, DESPITE IT BEING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME. I'M HOPING THAT EVENTUALLY THIS RECALL IS EXPANDED AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED SKIDDING. THE BRAKES WERE NOT APPLIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED SKIDDING ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMING APART. I CONTACTED FORD AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I TOLD THEM THE THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT MY WIFE HAS BACK PROBLEMS AND THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SKIDDING IT JERKED US FORWARD. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN VEHICLES BEHIND US OR IF WE WERE GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THEY TOLD ME FORD WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AND HAVE IT SERVICED. WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. ATCHINSON FORD (9800 BELLEVILLE ROAD, BELLEVILLE, MI 48111) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I HAVE A 2011 F150 WITH 65K MILES. I NOTICED EXTRA PLAY IN THE STEERING AT JUST UNDER 60K MILES. I HAD POWER STEERING MODULE RECALIBRATED. I THOUGHT THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. APPROX 3MOS LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. LOSS OF CONTROL AT HIGH SPEEDS AND CORNERS. I HAD ALIGNMENT DONE TODAY WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A $1600 STEERING GEAR REPLACED. THEY COULDNT TELL ME WHY THIS WOULD FAIL WITH LOW MILES UNLESS IT WAS A FAULTY PART. AFTER RESEARCHING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS ON LOW MILE F150S OF THIS YEAR DUE TO STEERING FAILURE. WHEN I ASKED IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IF I COULD NOT GET THIS PART RIGHT AWAY, ($1600) THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT UNHEARD OF FOR THE STEERING TO FAIL. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY A RECALL FOR SAFETY HAS NOT BEEN DONE.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT WILL SLIP FROM 1ST TO 5TH WHEN STARTING OUT. IT WOULD ONLY WORK IF I PUT IT IN MANUAL MODE. WHILE IN MANUAL MODEEVERYTHING ON MY DASH WENT BLANK AND QUIT WORKING. I HAD NOTHING TO GO BY NOT EVEN MY SPEEDOMETER. ALSO IT SLIPPED FROM 5TH TO 1ST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO LOCK UP AND MY WIFE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I TOOK IT TO WORLD OF FORD IN PENSACOLA. THEY TOLD ME ABOUT 2 RECALLS. 16S19,16N02, NHTSA RECALL 16V248. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER 10DAYS AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE AND A JOB AND NOW I'M OUT OF MY VEHICLES. THE MANAGER AT WORLD OF FORD FRANK TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AWAY FROM HIS SHOP THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO FIX IT. I CAN'T DRIVE THE TRUCK BY IT'S DANGEROUS. I DO HAVE HIS CONVERSATION RECORDED BY HE WAS TELLING ME TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AWAY AFTER IT LOCKED UP ON ME. NOW I'M TRYING OTHER SOURCES TO SEE WHAT I NEED TO DO. ANYTHING WOULD HELP. I CAN'T AFFORD 40$ A DAY FOR A RENTAL. ESPECIALLY SINCE I FEEL LIKE IT'S A FORD ISSUE NOT ANYTHING I DID. ## VIN PASSED ## FORD F-150 2011 ##

I AM HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PLACE THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO. THERE IS A DELAY UNTIL IT ENGAGES INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. WHEN YOU DRIVE THERE IS A HARD SHIFT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. I DID CHECK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES AND THE ISSUE IS THE " TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR". I AM AFRAID THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING IT WILL DISENGAGE FROM DRIVE AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER.

MY TRUCK WOULD INTERMITTANLY MAKE A CHIRPING NOISE AND WOULD TEMPORARILY BE HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. ONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SO I TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALER. THE FIRST TIME, WHICH OCCURRED IN JUNE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH OTHER FORD F-150 TRUCKS, MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. SHOULD IT BE?

LOSS OF POWER TOWING BOAT UP A HILL ON HIGHWAY. FORCED DANGEROUS LOW SPEED ON MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY WITH CURVES AND LIMITED VISIBILITY. DEALER INSPECTED AND SPARK PLUGS CRACKED AT ONLY 43K MILES.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT FROM 5TH TO 1ST AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING . AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND FORD ISSUED THE FOLLOWING RECALL SAFETY RECALL 16S19 THE INTERMITTENT OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) FAILURE MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. HOWEVER AFTER CONTACTING FORD THEY SAID MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIX THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT WAS ON THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK FORWARD. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE SPEED FAILED TO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (GULLO FORD OF CONROE- THE WOODLANDS, 925 INTERSTATE 45 S, CONROE, TX 77301), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED DUE TO DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN TOOL INDICATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

MY NAME IS [XXX], I OWN A 2011 F150 ECOBOOST. OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED AND SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE MISFIRING DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING IN THE INTAKE. EVERYONE DEALERSHIP PERSONAL I'VE SPOKEN WITH HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THAT YEAR AND MODEL AND THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. HOWEVER WHEN THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY MISFIRES IT CALLS FOR SERVICE ON THE TRUCK AND REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN PARTS. I AM FILLING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS RIGHT THAT FORD SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO IGNORE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS ALMOST GOTTEN MYSELF AND FAMILY INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. AS WELL COST ME MONEY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE THIS ISSUE GETS SOMEONE KILLED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN SERVICE STATION WHERE THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. *BF UPDATED 7/31/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK. THE POWER TRAIN FAULT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIMMY MICHEL MOTORS (555 S ELLIOTT AVE, AURORA, MO 65605 (417) 678-5001) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL EXTENDED WARRANTY: 16N02. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,582.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NO WARNING JUST HEARD A POT AND I PULLED OVER NOTICED OIL COMING OUT. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE BLOCK HAD 2 HOLES BLOWN OUT OF IT. OIL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE RODS JUST BLEW THRU AT 94,000 MILES.

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

WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE THE DASH LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE, WILL NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE, AND MAINTENANCE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, DRIVE, AND ANY OTHER GEAR WITH DASH ILLUMINATION AND OPERATE THE VEHICLE. REVERSE WILL NOT SHIFT AND AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES IT FINALLY TAKES AND "JOLTS" BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING AND ALLOWS ME TO BACKUP. HOWEVER DASH LIGHT NEVER CHANGES AND AM UNSURE WHEN IT WILL SHIFT. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS A MALFUNCTIONING "TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR". MY VEHICLE MATCHES THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF AN ACTIVE RECALL: #12V190000 HOWEVER I AM INFORMED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL LIST IN OASIS? AND THEREFORE IS NOT COVERED BY FORD. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE UP UNTIL THIS POINT AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, BRAKES ARE HARD TO PRESS, LEADING TO INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. HAS HAPPENED ONCE IN DRIVE, ONLY RIGHT AFTER STARTING VEHICLE.
