2011 Ford F-150 complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 20-35 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted to first gear and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to drive to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

On certain days, usually humid days, when you approach a hill and give it gas, a wrench appears on the display and the truck goes into Limp mode. It may go for weeks without doing this, but when it happens, you may get killed. Especially, if you are on a highway. You have no power to move the truck. You are a sitting duck. I took in to a service station and the cleaned the Throttle body, but it still happens. If you drive slowly without changing accelerator position the truck will drive but too slowly. It happens far too much.

Hot air only out of driver's side vents. Actuator motor problem.

Speed sensor stops communicating causing the truck to shift in first gear. This has caused the back wheels to lock up and could cause serious wreck. I need to have this fixed ASAP at no charge. This is a $40,000 truck and should not be having these dangerous issues. I hope this can be taken care of without contacting the news and my attorney

I first noticed a rapid chirping sound from the engine when accelerating on a hill while pulling a trailer. The pickup had about 135,000 miles on it at the time. This was usually associated with an automatic downshift due to the load and the hill in order to maintain speed. The sound increased over a period of a year. Then I started noticing the sound when starting with a cold engine. The sound would diminish after the engine warmed a bit, but it didn't really disappear. I finally took this pickup to an auto clinic (Sequim Automobile Clinic, Sequim, WA) with 153,000 miles on it. The manager, Marv, later told me that they found the driver's side exhaust manifold warped. He said the noise was coming from a gap at the rear end of the manifold. He improved the condition by tightening bolts, but he said the only way to really make it right would be to replace the exhaust manifold. I went to YouTube and found videos of others with this problem. Their suggestion was to replace the exhaust manifold with one that was superior in design and construction in order to keep from having the problem, again. They indicated that the problem was due to heat generated by the engine and turbo chargers in this 3.5 L Ecoboost Ford engine. The manager at the auto clinic said he hadn't seen the problem from others with this engine, but the others weren't putting the engine under as much load as I am. I'm pulling a trailer of about 8500 pounds. I'm pulling it over passes about 5,000 feet in elevation

While in a parking lot I started the engine and put it in gear with my foot on the brake. After a moment or 2 the RPM came up and the tires were squealing. I then shifted to neutral and the RPM slowed. I then shifted to drive and drove to an exit. While waiting for a break in traffic with my foot on the brake the same thing happened. The RPM came up and the rear tires were trying to spin. I shifted to neutral until I could move, and shifted to drive and joined the traffic. There was no problems with speed control while driving in traffic.

3.5L EcoBoost. Exhaust manifold bolts brake or come loose. Resulting in warped exhaust manifold. Loss of power. On highway going 60 miles an hour when lost power and resulted in speed down to 30-20, and nowhere I could pull off Highway to emergency lane. Was basically stranded. Took the vehicle into Ford dealership in Roseburg Oregon July 16 2021 where they told me that it was an exhaust manifold which had been already done the year prior 2019 at a cost of $1200. This time it will cost $2500. There were no warning lights or advanced notice of any problem. We were going up an incline on interstate 5 and it was like somebody turned the key off Lost power and overheated.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brakes would not engage when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact was also stated that the vehicle made an abnormally loud grinding sound whenever the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

The truck will go from gear 6 to gear 1 and I lose all power. I've almost been in a wreck multiple times. I entered my vin and it shows no recalls on my truck but when I tried looking up what's going on with it I seen a recall regarding the exact same thing. Idk if it's because it's Canadian or why.

Going down the road at 55 mph, and the truck went down to first gear, wouldn't show my speed, then wouldn't come out of 3rd gear.

Tried to apply the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor without actuating the brakes. This happened suddenly and with no warning of any kind prior to the failure. I had to use the parking brake to bring the vehicle to a stop. The "BRAKE FLUID LOW" warning came on in the instrument cluster. The warning and the failure happened simultaneously, i.e. there was no indication of a problem until the braking system failed entirely. The vehicle had no braking action at all from the hydraulic brake system. Upon inspection the seals in the master cylinder appear to have failed, pulling all of the brake fluid into the brake vacuum-booster. It is my understanding that a problem identical to this one led to several accidents and a recall in the 2013-2015 F150. Clearly the issue is not limited to those model years as my truck is a 2011.

So I went and got the recall done on it the one about the failing pcm and it dropping to first all of a sudden and temporarily losing control of the vehicle. Fortunatley every time this happens ive been going slow but there have been times when ill be going a good 60 something mph and it feels like ive hit a brick wall. so anyway i got the recall done and it was good fro a awhile but now its doing it again and when o called the dealership[ to find out what to do about it. They said I was sol and need to bring it in so they can find out whATS WRONG WOITH IT FEES NOT INCLUDED...

MY DEALER AND FORD HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE ORIGINAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM RULES FOR 19N01, AND BECAUSE OF A TECHNICALITY AND FORDS NEW EXTRA STRICT RULES, I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS LEFT ON THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. MY VIN WAS RECALLED FOR UNINTENDED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH HAS CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. 19N01 IS THE NHTSA NUMBER. THE ORIGINAL RECALL I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL SAID THAT THE PROGRAMMING WOULD BE REDONE FIRST (19S07) AND I DID THAT IN LATE 2019. ON FEBRUARY 8TH I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT EVENT WHILE IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN, 'WRENCH LIGHT' ON MY DASH, AS WELL AS ZERO SPEEDOMETER, AND WAS IN LIMP MODE. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS IN THE RECALL. THANKFULLY MYSELF AND MY TRUCK WERE ON INJURED. I TOOK MY FORD F150 TO MY INDEPENDENT FORD TRUCK MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS, HE FOUND DTC P0722. A PDF OF HIS WORK TICKET IS ATTACHED. HE DIRECTED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN DALLAS TO RECEIVE THE RECALL AND FREE REPAIR UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I TOOK MY FORD F150 INTO PLANET FORD IN DALLAS TEXAS, AND THEY SAID THAT FORD CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS, THEY NOW REQUIRES THAT THE CODE BE PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM, BE PRINTED OUT, FOR EVIDENCE TO HAVE THE RECALL COVERED. THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT MY MECHANICS EVIDENCE OF THE CODE. WHEN THEY CHECKED MY F150, THEY CLAIMED THE

WHILE TRUCK IS RUNNING IT SUDDENLY JOLTS AN DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR. THEN JOLTS AGAIN INTO GEAR. IT TAKES A WHILE SOMETIMES FOR IT TO GET BACK IN GEAR AND RUNNING. DOES IT RANDOMLY BUT MORE AND MORE OFTEN. MECHANIC SERVICED TRANSMISSION SAID IT WAS FINE. FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE

ON APRIL 3 ,2015 I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN I WENT TO TURN LEFT I LOST ALL STEERING AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HOFFMAN FORD WHEN ON 4/5/2021 THEY DID A TEST. I WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE UPDATE AND WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY TOLD ME SORRY THERE IS NO RECALL AND BASICALLY NOTHING WAS GOING TO BE DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN PULLING MY CAMPER. I CAN UNDERSTAND A A PART GOING BAD BUT AN UPDATE.. SO NOW WE ARE CHARGING FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND RISKING LIVES OF OTHERS.

HAD A RECALL ON MY 2011 F150 . I TOOK IT AND GOT IT FIX FOR THE 12C23 A/T RANGE SENSOR AND ITS STILL DOING THAT SAME THINGS , IT GOES INTO REVERSE BUT WANT IMMEDIATE ON THE DASH OF MY F150 AND THIS CONDITION INCREASES THE RICK OF A CRASH OR SOMEONE BEING HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK ISN'T SIGNALING IT'S IN REVERSE . SO THE TIME I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I GET IN REVERSE AND BACK OUT , I HAVE TO PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND CUT TO REST IT BECAUSE IF NOT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS . I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME 2800.00 FOR LEAD FRAME AND CPM

TIMING CHAIN RATTLE ON STARTUP

DRIVING HOME I STARTED TO HEAR AND FEEL THIS NOISE ON MY ENGINE LIKE A CLICKING/GROUNTING SOUND. I COULD HEAR IT MORE WHEN MAKING TURNES AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN. NEXT DAY I GOT ON MY TRUCK AND WHEN IN REVERSE MY TRUCK WOULD'T LET ME BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE LOCKED. AND CAN ONLY GO FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO IN REVERSE, TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE STARTER INTERLOCK, AND TRANSMISSION BRAKING EFFECT. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS) THAT WAS CALIBRATED OUT OF SPECIFICATION FOR REVERSE GEAR.

I I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO FORD OF DALTON, GEORGIA BECAUSE THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE PCM AND TRANSMISION THAT WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST ME $140 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR, THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS CONTRADICTS WHAT THE RECALL STATES. I SHOULDNT BE CHARGED $140 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE A RECALL..THIS IS ON A 2011 FORD F-150

I SEEN THERE IS A RECALL ON COOPER TIRES. THE COOPER TIRES I HAVE ON MY TRUCK IS NOT ON THE LIST BUT, ON 02/17/2021 ONE OF MY FRONT TIRES DID WHAT THEY CLAIM THE TIRES ON RECALL DO. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY LOW TIRE LIGHT COME ON AND INSTANTLY MY TIRE WENT FLAT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UN-REPAIRABLE. I HAD REPLACE THAT TIRE AND ALSO I REPLACED THE OTHER SIDE SO BOTH WOULD HAVE THE SAME TRADE WEAR.

I AM SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR STREET SIGN MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD. THEN IT STARTED PUTTING WHEN I DROVE AND KEPT GETTING WORSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR A GOOD MINUTE. EVERYTIME IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY FOUND MINOR STUFF THAT NEEDED FIXED BUT IT WAS NONE OF THOES THAT WAS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. SO THEN I LOOKED FOR RECALLS, AND I HAD THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK DONE AND THEN MY TRUCK STARTED KNOCKING. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK.

TRANSMISSION WOULD BEGIN TO MAKE THE VEHICLE, ENGINE WOULD REV UP, TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY. AFTER VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF, WHEN IT WAS CRANKED BACK UP, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE FROM PARK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GO TO ZERO. HAVE TO STOP TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS CLEARS THE ERROR SOMETIMES IT TAKES ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS. WE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. FORD TOLD US THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND OUR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ON THE ROAD WHILE WE ARE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THE CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE SERVICE (EPAS) . THE STEERING MODULE SEEMS TO NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WELL, MAKING IT HARD TO TURN OR IT BEGINS TO LOCK. THE RACK AND PINNON SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE CAUSING THIS AND CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SINCE IF GOING ON SPEEDS OF 45MPH+ THE CAR STEERING BECOMES RIGID AND DOES NOT HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN A NUDGE TO THE LEFT OR A HARD LEFT. IT MAKES THAT HARD LEFT WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

2 RECALLS EXIST THROUGH FORD: 19N01 AND 19S07. BOUGHT TRUCK WITH 163,760 MILES ON OCTOBER 12, 2020 WITH NO MENTION OF RECALL. RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN JANUARY AND VERY SHORTLY BEGAN DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY!!! ALMOST CAUSED WRECK. IN ORDER TO GET HOME, HAD TO DRIVE 25MPH AND SLOWER ON 55MPH ON SAME HIGHWAY. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND MADE APPOINTMENT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. RECALL 19S07 WAS REPAIRED. THEY DENIED AND REFUSED TO HONOR SAFETY RECALL ON 19N01. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $821 AS VEHICLE WAS BEYOND 150,000 MILES. IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLE IN OPERATIONAL ORDER, IT HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE DOWNSHIFTING IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD; THE MILEAGE SHOULD NOT EFFECT A SAFETY HAZARD ON ANY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD. DATE LISTED "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" IS THE DAY VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AT DEALERSHIP.

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM FIRST GEAR. THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP BUT TRANSMISSION WON'T CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT GOING AGAIN AND I AM NOT GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE. I WILL ALSO DOWN SHIFT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR GET STUCK IN ONE GEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT GEAR I AM ON. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY THE LAST TIME WAS ON FEBRUARY 05, 2021.

TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER SIDE GLASS OF 3 PIECE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. NOT MOVING AT 545 IN THE MORNING AND NOBODY AROUND.

SAME AS RECALL # 19S07, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 40-45 MPH SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST CAUSING VEHICLE TO SQUEAK AND JERK THINKING I WAS IN A REAR END COLLISION,STOPPING TRAFFIC,GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE AND CONFRONTING DRIVER TO THE REAR.FORD SAID WRONG VIN AND CHARGED $150 FOR UPDATE.

AFTER TAPPING THE FLOOR ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE AND STAYED THERE. EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE ENGINE REMAINED AT 7000 RPM. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS -2F. VEHICLE HAD BEEN IDLING FOR 7 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE EVENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO PARK AT 10 MPH. ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AND BUILDING BUT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER RUNNING AT FULL THROTTLE IN PARK FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WASH SPRAY STOPPED WORKING A FEW DAYS EARLIER.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AS A RESULT OF USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

AFTER CRANKING THE VEHICLE, I PUT IN IN REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DID NOT WANT TO BACK UP. FEARING THAT I WOULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS PULLING A TROUBLE CODE P0705 FOR THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS (12C23) FOR FORD F150'S FOR CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2013 MODELS. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE 4 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL YEARS. MY FORD WAS MADE IN 4/11. THE RECALL STARTED FOR 8/11 YEAR VEHICLES. MY TRUCK IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED IN THE RECALL. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO EXCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER THAT COST ME $907.36. THE TOW BILL WAS $140.00. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FROM FORD FOR ALL THIS.

I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON BUTLER ROAD 5 PM IT DOING 30 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BIG BANG SO I STOP THE TRUCK GOT AND LOOKED TO TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT I SAW NOTHING THEN I LOOK UP AT THE BACK GLASS I SAW THE RIGHT REAR GLASS WAS SHATTERED IT WAS ABOUT 42 DREGS OUT SIDE I NO DEFROSTED ON EITHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 1ST AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE.

HARD TO STEER, RACK AND PINION TYPE STEERING GEARS, ELECTRIC FAILED, COMMON TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE 2011 AND UP FORD WITH STEERING ISSUES ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKING IT EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 M PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK, COULDN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT VERY DANGEROUS AND RISKY , ALMOST HIT A BARRIER, 3 YEARS AGO HAD TO REPLACE RACK AND PINION, REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL , NOW DEC 2020 THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IS THE RACK AND PINION AGAIN, I SEE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS FAULT

THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION HAVING A HARSH DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK AND ENGINE REVS UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST INCLUDING A FEW DAYS BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2019. ( RECALL 19V -075). THIS PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO FORD, IS DUE TO INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ( PART OF THE MOLDED LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION). TWO LATEST INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE OCCASION ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE VEHICLE HAD VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFT WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO FORD AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON TWO OCCASIONS ( SEE ATTACHED INVOICES). THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED AND NO WARNING MESSAGES OR TROUBLE CODES HAVE BEEN FOUND DURING THE REPAIRS. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ( PROGRAM # 19N01) ON MAY 2019 AND MY VEHICLE STILL QUALIFIES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THIS WEEK TO REQUEST THEY REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME SINCE THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THEY SAY NO TROUBLE CODES ARE PRESENT. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS ON FORD FORUMS WHO SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE NO TROUBLE CODES STORED EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LACK OF TROUBLE CODES DOES NOT ENSURE THE PROBLEM IS NOT PRESENT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS THAT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS IS JEOPARDIZED BY FORD NOT AGREEING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THEY THEMSELVES SAY IN THE R
