2012 Ford F-150 complaints

ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST PUMP FAILURES THAT RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BRAKE POWER ASSIST'MAKING IT FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THIS VEHICLE HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT AND IT GIVES NO WARNING . I AM CONCERNED WITH INJURY OR A CRASH. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL. I HAVE NOTICED THERE A SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND SOME CRASHES HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON IT DUE TO IT GOING INTO FIRST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. TOOK TRUCK TO CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS AGO AND HAD THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. WAS TOLD TO EXPECT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS. WHEN IT STAYED ON A WEEK I CALLED THEM BACK TO DISCUSS THE LIGHT STILL BEING ON. RESCHEDULED A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT FOR APRIL 12. ON APRIL 5 AND APRIL 7 THE TRUCK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. GOING APPROX 50MPH WHEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO FIRST GEAR WITH WHEEL HOP AND SOME FISH TAILING. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL BASICALLY GO TO ALL ZERO'S AND IT TAKES THE TRUCK BEING TURNED OFF FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET AND ALLOW TRUCK TO DRIVE NORMALLY. JUST WANTED TO DOCUMENT HERE SINCE TRUCK GOES BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.

MY TIMING CHAIN ON MY F1 50 WAS STRETCHED AND I PAID OVER $8000 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND HERE IT IS NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER AND IT IS STRETCHED AGAIN. WITH ALL OF THE SUPPOSEDLY NEW AND UPDATED PARTS FORD OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT VEHICLES WE BUY BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DON'T WANT US TO BUY THEIRS SINCE I DON'T WANT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND DOWNSHIFTING GEARS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. FIVE STAR FORD STONE MOUNTAIN (3800 US-78, SNELLVILLE, GA 30039, (678) 384-4242) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS TYPICAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

ON A 50-DEGREE MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THERE WAS A HEAVY DEW. I TURNED MY REAR DEFROSTER ON AND APPROXIMATELY 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS AT A STOP I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION/POP. I EXAMINED MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND STARTED TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND THEN WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR TO SEE IF SOMEONE HAD BUMPED ME I NOTICED MY BACK GLASS HAD EXPLODED. SINCE I WAS AT A FULL STOP AND I HAD NO IMPACT I GOT TO WONDERING THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING TO WORK I RESEARCHED "REAR DEFROSTER CAUSES BACK GLASS TO BREAK". THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THEREFOR I TOOK MY TRUCK TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER CAUSED THE ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2012 F-150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE, 100,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NO POWER BRAKES WHEN TRUCK IS INITIALLY STARTED AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS AS A FAILED VACUUM PUMP THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES YOU STOP. A RECALL WAS FORCED IN CANADA AND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION IS IN PLACE IN THE USA (15N05). BOTH COVER THE 2011 TO 2012 F-150 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE. FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL & CUSTOMER SATISFACTION POLICY. BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY HAVE NO POWER ASSIST AND ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP TRUCK, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARENT EXPECTING THE BRAKES TO FAIL LIKE THAT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE - BUT ALL THEY WILL TELL ME IS MY VIN ISNT COVERED. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THIS TO COVER MORE VEHICLES - ITS A HUGE SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I CANT BELIEVE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

2012 FORD F150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LD *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED.

EXPERIENCED UNEXPECTED DOWNHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. TRANSMISSION WAS ERRATIC IN GEAR SELECTION WITH CORRESPONDING TACHOMETER AND SPEDOMETER OSCILLATIONS.HAD SIX OCCURENCES WITH VARIOUS DEGREES OF SEVERITY .CALLED FORD HELP LINE .ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS " UNSAFE " TO DRIVE . GOT THE TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALER AND HADF IT CODED. TRUCK WAS SHOWING CODES FOR DEFECTIVE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. THE " LEAD FRAME " HAD TO BE REPLACED AT " MY EXPENSE ". NO REPROGRAMMING WAS DONE BECAUSE THERE WAS " NO RECALL " AT THAT TIME . THE ROOT CAUSE WAS REPAIRED BUT THERE WAS STILL THE POSSIBILITY OF A VIOLENT DOWN SHIFT EVENT . I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A EXPANDED RECALL TO REPROGRAM AND PREVENT THE DRAMATIC AND VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT ISSUE. I AM GOING TO GET THE TRUCK IN ASAP TO GET THIS DONE . THE ORIGINAL RECALL LANGUAGE STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE DOWNSHIFT ISSUES AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR DEFECTIVE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT FORD WOULD " REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME AND REPROGRAM " FREE OF CHARGE AND ALSO WARRANTEE THE COMPONENTS FOR I THINK 150,000 MILES. I FEEL THAT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE THIS VEHICLE " SAFE TO DRIVE " AT MY EXPENSE. THE REAL FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME AND REPROGRAM . I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE DRAMATIC DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AND HAD TO MANUVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD . I FEEL BAD FOR ANY ONE ELSE THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS. FORD IS GETTING OF

ON HWY 65MPH ACCELERATING SPEEDOMETER READING WENT TO ZERO, TRANSMISSION AUTO DOWNSHIFT. HAD TO PULL OVER RESTART AND THEN BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND TRANSMISSION WORKED. AFTER THIS SEVERAL STARTS THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK AND TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR

REAR PASSAGER DOOR AJAR COME ON WHEN OFF CAUSING INTRERAL LIGHT TO STAY ON .THE TIMER CAN BE TURNED OFF AND STILL STAY ON PASS 30 SEC LONGEST TIME STORTEST 10 SEC.

THE REAR DEFROSTER HAS NOT WORKED IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE FROM 2009-2014 AND THAT IT IS NOT WORTH FIXING BECAUSE IT WILL JUST BREAK AGAIN. WITH A PUSHBUTTON RATHER THAN A TOGGLE SWITCH IT IS NOT CLEAR IF IT IS TURNED ON OR OFF. DRIVING ONE RAINY DAY, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS DRIPPING RAIN INSIDE THE TRUCK AT THE BACK WINDOW, BUT I COULD NOT SEE ANY WATER COMING IN. I THEN NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ON FOR THE REAR DEFROST. I RECALLED WHAT I HAD READ ABOUT THESE DEFROSTERS SHORTING OUT AND CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. I REALIZED THAT WAS THE SOUND OF ELECTRICAL ARCING RATHER THAN WATER. I QUICKLY PUSHED THE BUTTON TO THE OFF POSITION AND WITHIN ONE SECOND, BOOM, THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. WITH THE LARGE VOLUME OF COMMENTS AND ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET, WHY IS FORD NOT RECALLING THIS? THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE WINDOW TO GET REPLACED AND AS MANY OTHERS DO, I DO NOT HAVE IT PLUGGED IN TO AVOID ANOTHER SHATTERED WINDOW. ALSO, THE MIRROR DEFROSTERS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THE ENTIRE CIRCUIT BEING COMPLETED. I HAVE OTHER PAST EXPERIENCE WITH FORD NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT.

THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE STICK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. I CANNOT GET IN OR OUT THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS STICK. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE. I HAVE TO GET PLIERS TO PULL THE TAB UP TO GET IT UNLOCKED. IT HAPPENS IN BOTH STATIONARY AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

POWERED SLIDE REAR WINDOW. SLIDING REAR WIDOW BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING TRUCK

ON 3/19/2020 VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE,VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON VEHICLE ALSO WOULD NOT EVEN ALLOW LIGHTS OR DASH TO WORK. VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKED POSITION

THIS MORNING I TURNED ON MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WHILE IN THE DRIVEWAY. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING IN MORNING TRAFFIC, I HEARD A LOUD POP LIKE A ROCK HITTING MY VEHICLE. AFTER ARRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS OF THE 3 PIECE POWER SLIDE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING STRIKING IT. AFTER CONDUCTING AN INTERNET SEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DEFROSTER CAUSING THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD LITTLETON (8252 S BROADWAY, LITTLETON, CO 80122) WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. ONE WEEK LATER, THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THE 19S07 RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON 3/19/19 AT BOB TOMES FORD MCKINNEY TX. TODAY, 3/20/19 THE DOWNSHIFT OCCURRED ON THE WAY TO WORK. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND IT DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR. I THOUGHT THIS IS WHAT THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX?

HARD TO TURN (LEFT/RIGHT), ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS!

WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN FOR A CURVE TRY TO PARK YOU CAN'T STEER. SOMETIMES IT'S FINE AND THEN IT COMES BACK AS YOU DRIVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF FORDS OF THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. ALL TYPES OF ROADS WHILE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN DROVE TO HARDY FAMILY FORD (1255 MARIETTA HWY, DALLAS, GA 30157) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

A YEAR AGO, MY 2012 F150 XLT 2WD HAD A POWER STEERING FAILURE. IT MAGICALLY STARTED WORKING UNTIL A MONTH AGO. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, MY POWER STEERING FAILED THREE TIMES. I STARTED MY VEHICLE, PUT IT INTO GEAR, AND IMMEDIATELY THE POWER STEERING FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FIRST TIME, RESTARTING MY TRUCK WORKED. THE SECOND TIME, MY NORMAL MECHANIC RAN CODES AND FOUND THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND POWER STEERING, STATING IT WASN'T ZEROED OUT AND THEREFORE LOCKED. THEY RESET IT AND IT WORKED. THE THIRD TIME, I ZEROED THE WHEEL OUT WHEN I GOT TO WORK... USING ALL MY STRENGTH TO MAKE TURNS. I THEN TOOK IT TO BE DIAGNOSED BY A FORD DEALER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY FOUND AN "INTERNAL FAILURE" OF THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY GEAR, PART #EL3Z-3504-BE. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MANY 2008-2014 F150S, BUT MINE ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. I LIVE IN NASHVILLE, SO MY DRIVING IS A MIX OF CITY STREETS AND INTERSTATES. I HAVE THE DIAGNOSIS/ESTIMATE PAPERWORK ON HAND. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS REFUSED TO RETURN MY CALLS.

REAR DEFROST MALFUNCTIONED WHILE WARMING UP THE TRUCK. THE ELECTRICAL INPUT TO THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED THE BACK WINDOW MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE WINDOW IS NOW A LIABILITY FOR REAR PASSENGERS.

I RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTICE FROM FORD THAT OUR 2012 YEAR MODEL, FORD, F-150 PICKUP TRUCK WAS RECALLED UNDER FORD RECALL: 19S07 AND NHTSA RECALL: 19V-075. THIS IS THE RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH FORDS PCM PROGRAMMING BEING UNABLE TO COPE WITH AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION OSS. THE PCM WOULD FORCE THE VEHICLE INTO 1ST GEAR REGARDLESS OF CURRENT OPERATING SPEED (MPH). I WAS JUST INFORMED BY A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THAT FORD CANNOT PERFORM A FIX ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY ONLY REPAIRED THE PCM FOR THE V8 ENGINE AND HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN AROUND TO THE V6 ECO BOOST ENGINES, EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL DOCUMENTS I RECEIVED INSTRUCT ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FURTHER, THE RECALL DOCUMENTS I RECEIVED HAVE THE VEHICLE INFO (VIN INCLUDED) ON EACH OF THEM SO ONE WOULD ASSUME THE VIN WAS CROSSCHECKED WITH FORD'S MANUFACTURING DATA BASE TO DETERMINE IF THE OFFERED FIX ACTUALLY FIT THE VEHICLE. I AM TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NEED THE FIX BUT IT WILL NOT BE OUT UNTIL SOME TIME LATER THIS SUMMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTER SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV. THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SALINAS VALLEY FORD LINCOLN (1100 AUTO CENTER CIR, SALINAS, CA 93907) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING OUT OF 6TH GEAR INTO 1ST GEAR. THIS WAS UPDATED BY A COMPUTER FIX THAT KEEPS IT FROM SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR BUT INTO 5TH INSTEAD. FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02 THAT ADDRESSES THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING AND A FIX FOR IT. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE PLANT INDICATED, IN THE TIME FRAME INDICATED AND GIVES THE ENGINE CODES AS INDICATED BY THE BULLETIN. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT AND DESPITE ALL THESE FINDINGS AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM TO FIX. MY MILEAGE IS BELOW THE 150K THRESHOLD THAT IS SET FOR THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE LEAD FRAME PROBLEM. THEIR FIX TO STOP IT FROM SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR REDUCES THE CHANCE FOR A MAJOR ACCIDENT BUT THEIR REFUSAL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE LEAD FRAME STILL LEAVES THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. A DOWN SHIFT AT SPEED TO 5TH GEAR STILL CAUSES AN UNINDICATED AND UNCONTROLLED SLOW DOWN OF MY TRUCK, THE LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER IS ALSO APPARENTLY CAUSING SOME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHEN THIS OCCURS AS I MA GETTING A MESSAGE TO REMOVE OBJECTS FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THIS OCCURS. MY LOCAL FORD SHOP WILL NOT TRY TO WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE MADE 2 DIFFERENT CONTACTS AT FORD CONCERNING THIS AND THEY ALL SAY IT IS NOT ONE THEY HAVE MARKED FOR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T HELP THAT IT IS NOT ONE THEY THOUGHT MIGHT BE AFFECTED, I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IT HAS BEEN AND CAN'T GET IT REPAIRED BY THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. COGGIN FORD JACKSONVILLE (9650 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225, (904) 567-3782) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AND A BLUE WRENCH COME ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE GOING 65 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS OF COURSE WAS NOT SAFE AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND STOP IT. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND ABLE TO FINISH MY DRIVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES, I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY KNOWN ISSUES. LOOKING AT MY VIN THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT. SO I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY REPALCED THE OSS AND LEAD WIRES TO THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FORD OF LONDONDERRY (33 NASHUA RD, LONDONDERRY, NH 03053, (603) 434-4141) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE TO RUN AN ERRAND. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SWITCHED INTO REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. THE MANUFACTURER INITIALLY PROMISED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A FORD DEALER TO GET AN ESTIMATE. TRI-COUNTY FORD (4032 COMMERCE PKWY, BUCKNER, KY 40010, (866) 417-0262) WAS CONTACTED AND KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENT. WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER BACK, THEY RENEGED ON THE OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

HAD RECALL PREFORMED IT STILL IS DROPPING INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11181584

I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM BY WAY OF "ON RAMP". WENT TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED (65 MPH) AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND LOOSE POWER. I HAD TO STAY ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. IT EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO RUN NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHEN THE CONTACT SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO DRIVE OVER DRAINAGE DIPS IN THE ROAD, THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS EVENT CAUSED A JARRING JOLTING EFFECT WHILE DRIVING. WESTERN SLOPE AUTO (2264 US-50, GRAND JUNCTION, CO 81505, (970) 243-0843) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER ECHOED THE DEALER AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I RECIEVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07/NHTSA RECALL 19V-075 CONCERNING A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE TO PREVENT UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFIT TO CORRECT INTERMITTENT AILURES OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR. THE PROPOSED CORRECTION IS INADEQUATE, SINCE IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THAT IS, INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. I REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO CORRECT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THAT IS, THE DEFECT EXISTING IN THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR THAT MAY CAUSE UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFTS, SINCE FAILING TO CORRECT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND MERELY INSTALLING A SOFTWARE PATCH WILL NOT RESULT IN PROPER OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, POTENTIALLY IMPAIRING FUEL ECONOMY AND/OR PROPER FUNCTION AND SAFETY DURING SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITIONS.

MY POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY FAILED, THERE ARE NOT ANY WARNING INDICATORS ON ITS JUST OUT. IT STARTED AROUD 12/25/18 IT WOULD STICK DURING A TURN I WOULD HAVE TO USE FORCE TO STRAIGHTED THE WHEEL. SOMEDAYS IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE. AS OF 1/21/19 ITS COMPLETELY OUT, NO POWER STEERING WHAT SO EVER.

TRANSMISSION - OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IS FAULTY. HAD A RECALL, SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED REPROGRAMMING, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX ISSUE OF DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR AND UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF. ALSO HAPPENS TO 3RD AND 5TH. OTHER 2012'S HAVE LEAD FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT WHICH TAKES CARE OF FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, MY RECALL OF RE-PROGRAMMING HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE LEAD FRAME RECALL BUT IS JUST OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURE DATE AND NOT INCLUDED

IN FEBRUARY 2017 WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ON A DOWN HILL SLOP I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND INTO GRASS AREA ALMOST HITTING A TREE IN REVERSE. THE POWER BRAKES WERE SO HARD I COULD NOT MOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL. ONCE IT CAME TO REST I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN REAPPLIED THE BRAKE AND THEY WORKED. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A RECALL FSA 15N05 ON 2/27/2017 WITH 35,514 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THEN ON 2/16/2019 I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND AGAIN COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND WENT INTO GRASS HILL OF MY YARD.AGAIN MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND NO POWER BRAKES. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND REAPPLIED AND THEY STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THAT DAY FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY NOTIFIED ME IT AGAIN WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP HAS HAS FAILED AGAIN AND FORD WILL NOT FIX IT SINCE IT WAS FIXED ONCE BEFORE UNDER THIS RECALL. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THEY CANNOT FIX IT DUE TO THE PUMPS BEING BACK ORDERED FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS. SO THE FIRST RECALL REPAIR ONLY LASTED 19,108 MILES AND LESS THAN 2 YEARS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME BEHIND ME TO GET RUN OVER AND NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. MY FEELING THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND PARTS SHOULD LAST LONGER. IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM SINCE THE PART IS NOW ON BACK ORDER AND LOOKS TO BE A POOR DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. .*BF THE CONSUMER STATED HAD TO PURCHASE A REWIRE KIT FROM FORD TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND LUNGED FORWARD. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLICKERED AND WENT COMPLETELY DARK. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. BEAMAN FORD (1717 TN-46, DICKSON, TN 37055, (615) 446-2308) REPAIRED THE MAIN CLUSTER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,800.

THERE IS A TICK/KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY ENGINE IT SOUNDS LIKE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS FROM A DEALER ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I AM WORKING HARD TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON THIS TRUCK AND NOW I PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE??? IT HAS 123,000 MILES

I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK FOR 5+ YEARS NOW. ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22 STARTED UP MY TRUCK TURNED ON MY DEFROST AND REAR DEFROST SAT IN THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES ARRIVED AT WORK. AS I PULLED UP IN THE PARKING LOT I HEARD A VERY DISTURBING LOUD NOISE. SOUNDED LIKE SOMEBODY HAD HIT MY TRUCK WITH A ROCK OR A BEBE GUN. I WAS BEYOND FREAKED OUT SPECIALLY SINCE I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE PARKING LOT. I STAYED IN MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES CALMED MYSELF DOWN AND DECIDED TO CALL MY HUSBAND. EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. AS I'M TALKING TO HIM I NOTICED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR... THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERING AS I WAS TALKING TO MY HUSBAND. I DEFINITELY THOUGHT SOMEBODY HAD TO HIT MY VEHICLE WITH SOMETHING. HE TOLD ME TO CALL THE POLICE IF I FELT THREATENED. AT THE SAME TIME COWORKER PULLED UP NEXT TO ME I ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO VISIBLE OF ANY TYPE OF HIT. SHE SAID IT MUST HAVE SHATTERED ON ITS OWN. WE WERE BOTH PRETTY SPEECHLESS BUT I WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT. CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY FILED A CLAIM. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SAFELITE FOR REPAIRS. HE ADVISED ME THAT FORD TRUCKS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT SO I WOULD BE WASTING MY TIME. I WENT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND SURE ENOUGH, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COURT IS AWARE OF MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE

TURBOS. WHILE IN MOTION WITH ACCELERATION THE TURBO CHIRPS LIKE A BIRD.

WHEN TURNING VEHICLE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT AS SHARP TURN AS POSSIBLE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. THE ONLY WAY TO RESET TURN SIGNALS, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS TO CUT TRUCK OFF, RESTART THEN DRIVE BACKWARDS ABOUT 10 YARDS AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND TURN SIGNALS STARTED WORKING, TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BERGLUND FORD SERVICE DEPT SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING GEAR. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, $2046.40 AND IN MY RESEARCH THIS YEAR TRUCK WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WIDE SPREAD. I FEEL THERE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM AS THE STEERING GEAR IS NOT A PART THAT NORMALLY FAILS ON A VEHICLE,
