TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY SEIZED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE TRAVELING THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY PUTS ITSELF INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE THEN LOCKS UP THE BREAKS AND SKIDS ACROSS THE ROAD. AFTER SKIDDING THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE DOES NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO (2) YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED (70 MPH) ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY FACILITY. IT HAS OCCURRED AT STOP LIGHTS. IN ONE INSTANCE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. LAST WEEK WAS NOTIFIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY WERE CONDUCTING A RECALL FOR THE EXACT REASON THAT HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE MALFUNCTION HAS CAUSED MECHANICAL DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE'S SUSPENSION, STEERING, TIRES, AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 35 MPH. THERE ARE ALSO RATTLING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, LOST POWER, AND SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE YARD THE TRUCK STARTED SHIFTING FROM 1ST, 2ND, TO 5TH AND THEN BACK TO 1ST GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR WAS REPLACED TODAY AND IT FIXED THE ISSUE.

I NOTICED MY 2011 FORD F-150 WAS RUNNING ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED A CRACKED 3 CYLINDER HEAD. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS A BLOWN 3RD CYLINDER HEAD AND WAS GOING TO COST $5,000 TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER AND LOOK AT THE REST OF THE ENGINE. ENDED UP BEING A CRACKED CYLINDER. NOW LOOKING AT A NEW ENGINE TO THE TUNE OF $8000. THIS HAS A 5.4 LITER TRITON ENGINE WITH LESS THAN 137,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT IN 2013 WITH 500 MILES ON IT. 90% OF MILES ARE HIGHWAY. I EXPECTED TO GET AT LEAST 175,000 MILES OUT OF IT. I REMEMBER HEARING A LOUD POP WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A ROCK THROWN UP FROM A TIRE. THE ENGINE RAN FINE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING. UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER WHEN IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AT A LITTLE OVER A 100,000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED. MY BELIEF IS THAT THE #3 SPARK PLUG BLEW CAUSING THE DAMAGE TO THE #3 CYLINDER.

TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, WAS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL OF 2011 F-150 LEAD FRAME. APPARENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION "NUMBER" IS DIFFERENT FROM THE RECALLED VERSION, HOWEVER, SINCE ONE TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED, NOT SURE WHY ALL 2011 MODELS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE FORCED TO INCUR OUT OF POCKET COSTS WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A RECALL. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE APPEARED ON THE DASH SCREEN. TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 5TH GEAR AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER WHO REPLACED LEAD FRAME.

SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT COMES ON MONTHLY AFTER TURNING LOCK TO LOCK. TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT STAY ON AFTER THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE LIGHT RESETS ITSELF A DAY OR SO LATER.

DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY ESPECIALLY ON MOVEMENTS TO THE LEFT THIS CAN BE SCARY AND UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 44 OUT OF JOPLIN, MO WHEN I WAS DRIVING AROUND A SLIGHT CURVE. THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT STEER AT ALL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID CRASHING INTO ONCOMING CARS. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSE TO ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OF REALLY BAD CONSEQUENCES. I WAS LUCKY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING GEAR WAS CRUSHED. I CALLED FORD FOR AN EXPLANATION AND WAS LITERALLY TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY HAVE TO DO. I WANT OTHERS TO KNOW THAT THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME 1500.00 PLUS CHANGE TO FIX THIS. I CAN'T SEE HOW I WILL EVER TRUST THAT STEERING AGAIN.

TRANSMISISON HAS SKIPPED OR CLUNKED INTO GEAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT BYT DEALERSHIUP STATED ON EVERY OCCASSION THAT THEY COULD NOPT REPLICATE ISSUE. THIS MORNING I STARTED DRIVING TO WORK AND THE WRENCH TOOL SHOWED ON PANEL, SPEEDOMOTOR DOES NOT MOVE FROM ZERO, AND THE TRANSMISISON IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY? I CNA NOT GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I NEARLY CASUED AN ACCIDENT IN LOCAL TRAFFIC AS STARTING IN 5TH GEAR FROM STOP LIGHT EVERYONE WAS HAVING TO GO AROUND ME AND I NEARLY GOT HIT MERGIN INTO TRAFFIC EVEN WITH FLASHERS ON.ALSO MY TRIP METERES IS ALL DASH LINES EXCEPT FOR THE MILES DRIVEN LAST TRIP.

I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD LOSS OF POWER STARTED MISFIRING SHIFTING FUNNY AND I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY A LARGE TRUCK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS, SUCH AS PASSING ON AN INTERSTATE OR ACCELERATING UP AN INCLINE, THE TRUCK SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES. IF DRIVER MAINTAINS SPEED, ENGINE LOSES ALL POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS DEADLY. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL IN BUSY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. TRUCK SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER FOR 5 SECONDS. THE TRUCK COASTED UNTIL I COULD APPLY POWER AGAIN TO THE ENGINE. APPLYING POWER CAUSED MORE SHUTTERING, BUT ENGINE DID NOT LOSE POWER AGAIN BECAUSE I WAS CLOSER TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND NOT AS MUCH STRAIN ON THE ENGINE.

TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AT RANDOM

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED STRAIGHT TO FIRST GEAR WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE BEHIND US TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND NEARLY MISS AN ACCIDENT. IT STAYED IN FIRST GEAR DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS. ONLY GOT IT TO SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR AFTER PUTTING INTO MANUAL AND SHIFTING UP FROM THERE. THERE WAS A SEPARATE OCCURANCE WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO READ OUR SPEED (WAS AT 0 MPH FOR MILES) AND THE SCREEN WHERE ALL THE FUEL ECONOMY INFO SHOULD BE SHOWED BLANK SPACES. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR JUST THIS (WE WERE NOTIFIED BY OUR FORD APP) BUT WHEN I CALL OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED WITH A REMEDY YET. IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OUR TRUCK IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE YET NOBODY IS ABLE TO PROVIDE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING AT THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH THE RECALL WAS ISSUED APRIL 25, 2016. UNSURE WHAT WE ARE TO DO AS THIS IS OUR MAIN VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK (WHAT SEEMED LIKE) SHIFTED HARD THEN THE WRENCH SIGN CAME UP ON THE SCREEN AND THROTTLE WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS DOING 50 MPH AT THE TIME AND HAD TO HIT THE HAZARDS AND PULL OVER. ONCE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT SEEMED OK, PULLED THE CODE P2112 THROTTLE BODY. LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY , MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T A RECALL SEEING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS.

VERY HARD TO PUSH BREAK WITH BOTH LEGS HARD TO STOP WHEN BACKING UP AND A NOISE CLICKING FROM SOMEWHERE SOUNDS LIKE FROM MOTOR OR DASH ???? HAPPEND SEVERAL TIMES OVER LAST TWO WEEKS ONE BEING TODAY AT 7:50 AM ON MAY 20,2016 WAS AFRAID I WAS GOING TO HIT CAR PARKED ON SIDE OF ROAD WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.

WARMING MY TRUCK UP TO LEAVE FOR WORK THIS MORNING. TURNED ON WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO REMOVE HEAVY DEW. REAR DEFROSTER TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND SHUT OFF BY IT SELF. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED IT HAD TURNED OFF, PUSHED THE BUTTON AGAIN AND IT DID NOT TURN ON. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE THAT THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED.

DURING OPERATION WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION ON A STREET, POWER STEERING SHUT OFF, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS WOULD NOT STAY ON WHEN USED. DIAGNOSED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AS AN EPAS FAILURE.

MY STEERING HAS BECOME TIGHT AND CATCHES WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. IT CATCHES WHEN AT A STOP OR GOING AROUND CURVES LIKE I'VE LOST THE POWER STEERING AND HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M DRIVING 25 MILES AN HOUR OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT PULLS TO THE LEFT ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR WHEELS SCREECHED. THE CONTACT LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT SLOWED DOWN THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED BY TELEPHONE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,400.

TRYING TO REPLACE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE. FORD MANUFACTURED TRUCK WITH P235/75/R17 TIRES, AND THIS IS ON DOOR PLATE. NO ONE WILL SELL THIS SIZE TIRE FOR THIS TRUCK WHICH HAS TOWING PACKAGE, EXCEPT FORD. THE ONLY SIZE ANYONE WILL SELL IS P265/60/R18 OR P275/55/R20. ONE EXCEPTION: TIRE RACK WILL SELL P255/65/17 IF RIMS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. TWO FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS EVEN HAD PROBLEMS. FORD MAINTAINS THAT IT IS FACTORY EQUIPMENT AND THEREFORE IS CORRECT FOR THE TRUCK. I BELIEVE AN ERROR MAY HAVE BEEN MADE AT THE FACTORY. I NEED NEW TIRES SOON AND I CANNOT GET FORD TO EVEN AGREE TO THE P255 SIZE TIRE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE FOR TOWING FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FROM A NON FORD SOURCE. I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE WILL SELL ME THE FACTORY SIZE TIRES FOR THIS TRUCK, EXCEPT FORD, OF COURSE. HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS WARMING UP IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND A WRENCH ICON CAME UP ON THE VEHICLE'S SCREEN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS SHAKING. I DROVE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC DID A UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER. COUPLE OF WEEKS LATE THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. WAS WONDERING WHY MY VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL?

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED I WANTED TO ACCELERATE AND PASS SOMEONE. I PULLED INTO THE LEFT LANE AND PRESSED THE GAS. THE ENGINE SHOOK THE TRUCK AND IT LOSS POWER. I HAD TO MOVE BACK INTO THE LANE.

ON 3 OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. TWO OF THESE OCCURRED WHEN PULLING ONTO A 50MPH ROADWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION WORKED PROPERLY AFTER THAT. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION I HAD BEEN SLOWED DOWN BY AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER CLEARING THE ACCIDENT I ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO FREEWAY SPEED BUT COULD NOT GO OVER APX. 20 MPH BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND COULD NOT GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE TRUCK. AFTER SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR MANUALLY (AUTO TRANSMISSION) I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE GEARS AND HAD NORMAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION AFTER THAT.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK RANDOMLY SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR. I CHECKED THE FORD WEBSITE AND THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE NUMBER 16S19 COVERING THIS VERY ISSUE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ACTION. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE. THE VERY NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK. I THINK THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AND FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD PROVIDE ME A VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. IF I EXPERIENCE THIS RANDOM DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN TRAFFIC IT COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE FORD DEALER IS BEDFORD FORD LOCATED IN BEDFORD PA.

THE ENGINE (3.5L ECOBOOST) HAS A RATTLE IN THE FRONT REGION WHEN STARTED AND AT LOWER RPM'S WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR (TIMING CHAIN ISSUE). WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING CEASED UPON ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE VCT UNIT (EXHAUST SIDE) HAD SEPARATED AND A PIECE OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENT FLEW OUTWARD BORING A HOLE THROUGH THE VALVE COVER. WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE PROJECTILE ENDED (HOPEFULLY NOT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN). IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT THE OIL WAS SO LOW (FROM THE HOLE IN THE VALVE COVER) THAT IT DID NOT REGISTER ON THE DIP STICK NOR DID THE INDICATION ALERT NOTIFY THE DRIVER IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL KENDALL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE RATTLE/MISFIRE ISSUE BEFORE THE VCT RUPTURED AND THEY GAVE THE TRUCK A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF A SPARK PLUG ON CYLINDER #2. THE MISFIRE OCCURRED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON A LONG HIGHWAY 60MPH AND STARTED TO SHUTTER AND SHAKE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED US TO CRASH (IT ALREADY HAS THE CAC TSB FIX INSTALLED). NHTSA SHOULD RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION ON THAT BECAUSE THE FIX DID NOT WORK. IT MAY HAVE IMPROVED IT, BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD ON MAY 4TH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE IS NO RECALLS OR ALERTS CONCERNING OUR VEHICLE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT OUT OF POCKET. WE ARE CURRENTLY TR

THE TIMING CHAIN BELT WAS SKIPPING, IT WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING BUT THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THE NEXT TIME I'D STAY IT. THIS DID THIS FOR AS LONG AS I HAD IT. I MENTIONED THE ISSUE THO THE DEALER BUT WHEN IN THE GARAGE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THEY WOULD TELL ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AND NO ERROR CODES WERE COMING UP. I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK ONLY 1 YEAR 7 MONTHS AND IT STARTED STALLING OUT. I BROUGHT IT TO THE GARAGE AND IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN.

ON WIDE OPEN THROTTLE ENGINE MISFIRES . GOT IT TO SET A CODE AFTER ANOTHER HARD THROTTLE.DROVE TRUCK 1500 MILES AND GOT 21 MPG.AFTER TRIP I TOOK IT TO DEALER CODES PO300 0304 0305 0306.HAD TSB FOR PROBLEM DONE LAST JUNE. STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM.DEALER STATES MAY BE PLUGS. DOESN"T SEEM POSSIBLE GETTING 21 MPG WITH BAD PLUGS. THEY WANT 260 DOLLARS TO CHECK PLUGS ON ONE BANK. FORD NEEDS TO GET THIS PROBLEM WITH WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MISS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.TSB DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE NEWER TRUCKS HAVE A DIFFERENT INNERCOOLER SYSTEM IS THE MOISTURE CAUSING BAD SPARK PLUGS? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ERRATICALLY CAUSING FOR THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE DOWNSHIFTING WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

WHILE CROSSING A MAJOR INTERSECTION THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. THE ENGINE AND THE ELECTRICITY STAYED ON HOWEVER RPM'S DROPPED TO LESS THAN 1000 AND IT JUST ROLLED TO A STOP. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS PERSISTED FOR 10 SECONDS. LUCKILY, JUST BEFORE I WAS ALMOST HIT THE ACCELERATOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND I BARELY MADE IT CLEAR. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY CAN RE-CREATE IT. THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON MANY F-150'S OF THIS YEAR AND TYPE. THEY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND CAN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN SO THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO COME GET IT, KNOWING IT HAS THIS ISSUE. MY TAKE ON THIS IS I AM A GUINEA PIG UNTIL IT HAPPENS ENOUGH, SOMEONE DIES AND A RECALL STARTS.
