2012 Ford F-150 complaints

THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW OF MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT MY WINDOW IS COMPLETELY SPIDERED. IT WAS AROUND 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE, AND I HAD BEEN RUNNING THE REAR DEFROST FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DEFROST. THANKFULLY MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AS HIS CAR SEAT IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINDOW. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWERED WITH TINY SHARDS OF GLASS.

SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH TRANSMISSION BOB BOYD SERVICE DID A DRIVE SHAFT BOOT REPAIR ON FEB 28 2018 ASKED ABOUT RECALL 16N02 SAID MY TRUCK WASNT COVERED

AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR AND GOES INTO LIMP HOME CONDITION, BARELY LIMPED THRU THE INTERSECTION. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING VEHICLE OFF , WAITING , STARTED AND RESUMED. REPEATEDLY OCCURS AFTER STOPPING. ALL OCCURRED DURING CITY DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING THE PICKUP THE CARRIER BEARING WENT OUT VEHICLE HAS 71000 MILES ON IT GET IT TO THE SHOP AND THE WHOLE DRIVE TRAIN HAS TO BE REPLACED THEY CAN'T REPLACE JUST THE ONE PART

ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING FAILURE-EPAS IS CUTTING OUT MOST OF THE TIME CAUSING OVER STEER AND UNDER STEER CONDITIONS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FORCE NEEDED TO CORRECT ON LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. STEERING WILL GET DIFFICULT TO CONTROL ON TURNS JUST LIKE THE NON POWER STEERING VEHICLES OF OLD. THIS OCCURS AT STARTUP AND WITH VEHICLE IN MOTION AND ENDS WITH PARK AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. CAN SUPPLY VIDEO FOOTAGE IF REQUESTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN FORD OF STERLING HEIGHTS (40333 VAN DYKE AVE, STERLING HEIGHTS, MI 48313) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT MOISTURE WAS PRESENT IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WITH NO WARNING WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. IT JUMPED BETWEEN GEARS A COUPLE TIMES SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT FELL BACK TO FIRST GEAR AND THE TRUCK CAME TO A FULL STOP. AT THAT POINT, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STOPPED RESPONDING COMPLETELY AND WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO WAIT OVER AN HOUR FOR TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, TRUCK LOSSES POWER AND GOES INTO LIMP MODE. WRENCH ICON COMES ON, AS WELL AS AIRBAG LIGHT, AND SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. IT APPEARS TO BE STUCK IN WHATEVER GEAR IT IS IN AT THE TIME. ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT, TRUCK GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR, AND TRIES TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL. I NEVER HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION.

I WILL BE GOING 70 MPH AND THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT HARD TO 3RD GEAR THE SPEED ODOMETER WILL SHOW ZERO MPH AND ODOMETER WILL SHOW DASHES. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE IT WILL EITHER STAY IN 3RD GEAR OR WILL SHIFT UP HARD TO 5TH GEAR. IF I CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY A FEW TIMES IT WILL CLEAR FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WILL AGAIN SLAM INTO A LOWER GEAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS LIKE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES CREATING A HUGE HAZARD. THERE ARE SOME VEHICLES BUILT IN 2012 THAT HAVE A RECALL FROM FORD WITH SAME ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS,. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER SINCE IT IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN. IT WILL BE IN THE SHOP MARCH 10TH, THERE IS A LONG WAIT TIME FOR THE FORD SHOP WHERE I LIVE.

I AM UNSURE IF IT IS A DOWN SHIFT OR WHAT, BUT MY TRUCK SHAKES AND IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN POWER LOSE AND A FAILURE TO ACCELERATE.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A RURAL ROAD. MY VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR SUDDENLY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. A BIG WRENCH LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH. I WASH UNABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AS I WAS A A HILL WITH COMMERCIAL TRUCKING AND IT WAS NOT SAFE TO PULL OVER. I ALSO LOST ALL MY GAUGES. I PULLED OVER AT THE FIRST SAFE PLACE. SHUT MY VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT RAN FINE. A WEEK LATER I WAS TRAVELING ON ANOTHER RURAL ROAD GOING ABOUT 50 AND IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST AGAIN. THIS TIME NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH IT JUST STARTED UP SHIFTING.

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES STAYING ON FOR DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED AND "FOUND THAT FAULT CODE PRESENT B0091 93 LEFT SIDE RESTRAINT". THE WIRING WAS TESTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE "SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR" REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I DID NOT HAVE THIS SENSOR REPLACED THAT THEY COULD NOT SAY THAT THE REST OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD WORK IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. AT THE TIME OF THIS REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS JUST 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD 41,068 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT IS JUST 5 YEARS OLD, ONLY HAS 41K MILES, NO COLLISIONS OR ANY DAMAGE SHOULD BE NEEDING SAFETY RELATED AIRBAG SENSORS REPLACED. TOTAL COST FOR THIS REPAIR WAS $515.21.

UNEXPECTED SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEED CAUSING INCONSISTENT DRIVING. COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS SLIP/SKID. CONGRUENT WITH RECALL INVOLVING SAME MODEL YEAR VEHICLE HOWEVER NOT LISTED FOR SPECIFIC VIN.

MY TRUCCK BEGAN TO DOWNSHIFT ON ITS ON AND JERK REAL BAD. I COULD WATCH MY SPEEDOMETER DROWN INSTANTLY AS IT DOWNSHIFTED. IT DOWNSHIFTED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND A LOUD CLUNK.

I HAVE AN F150 THAT WILL DOWNSHIFT WAY DOWN NO MATTER THE SPEED AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. WHY WOULD THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM NOT BE COVERED? I PUT IT ON A COMPUTER AND IT IS THE SAME THING. OUTPUT SPEED CENSOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ELECTRICAL POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. KOONS FORD (6970 SECURITY BLVD, BALTIMORE, MD 21244, (410) 298-3800) WAS CONTACTED FOR A SECOND OPINION ON THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL: THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TRAVELING OVER 45 MPH AND AT 70 MPH. THERE IS A SUDDEN AND QUICK, WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DOWNSHIFT OR VERY LOUD POP FROM THE TRANSMISSION/REAR AXLE AND FEELS LIKE THE BACKEND HAS RUN OVER A LARGE OBJECT LIKE A TELEPHONE POLE. SUDDEN AND HARD JERK OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR END WHILE DRIVING OVER 45 MPH. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS, AT LEAST 4 DIFFERENT TIMES.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION DROPS INTO 1ST GEAR RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. LOCKS UP REAR AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT HAZARD.

THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES WHILE DRIVING IN WHICH THE TRUCK SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND SHIFTS TO A LOWER GEAR. THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER DO NOT DISPLAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE WRENCH HAS SHOWN. ONE ONE OCCASION WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY THE GEAR SHIFTED DOWN AND THE TIRES SQUEALED AND THE TRUCK DRAMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN. SOME OCCASIONS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED THE SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS IS EXTREMELY ROUGH. THESE OCCASIONS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS, ON HIGHWAYS, AND ENTERING OR EXITING HIGHWAYS.

REAR WINDOW, ON PASSENGER SIDE, SHATTERED AFTER TURNING THE DEFROST ON. TEMP WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 DEGREES. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DEFROST WAS FLICKERING, AS THE WINDOW SHATTERED, THEN TURNED OFF. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD 30 MILES PER HOUR.

THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY HAVE THE SHUTTERING AND POWER LOSS EFFECT TILL IT WENT 5000 PASSED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEN ENGINE IMPLODED. SO THEY JUST BLOW IT OFF AS A COMMON ISSUE BUT NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY 10000 FOR A NEW ENGINE FOR A PROBLEM THEY ALWAYS KNEW ABOUT.

THE TIMING CHAIN IN THE ENGINE GETS PREMATURELY STRETCHED AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT SO TIMING CHAIN FAILURE DOES NOT OCCUR. I HAD THE CHAIN REPLACED IN JAN 2017 COMPLETELY AND THE ISSUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLETELY RESOLVED. 1 YEAR LATER THE SAME ISSUE IS BACK AND THE CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IT IS A LOUD RATTLING NOISE THAT OCCURS ON START UP AND CAN CAUSE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS CAN BE FOUND ABOUT THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THE EARLY MODEL 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE CAUSING THE STRETCHING OF THE TIMING CHAIN AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON THEM TO ENSURE CUSTOMER SAFETY

WHILE DRIVING MY PICK UP ON A COLD DAY WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ON, ONE PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. DURING SUBSEQUENT DRIVING THE REAR WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE FRAME INTO THE BED OF THE PICK UP. I BELIEVE THE DEFROSTER MALFUNCTIONED AND OVERHEATED CAUSING THE PANEL TO SHATTER BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE HEAT BEING GENERATED BY THE DEFROSTER VERSUS THE COLD AIR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V198000 (AIR BAGS) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION; HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 5TH GEAR AND STAY THERE. VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM 5TH TO 1ST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOSS OF POWER AS VEHICLE WENT NOT 'LIMP MODE'. SAW MULTIPLE RECALLS ON OTHER TRUCKS FOR THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME BUT WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY CONCLUDED MY TRUCK WAS NOT IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME PART AND PROBLEM. PULLING OUT IN 5TH GEAR COULD HAVE GOTTEN ME OR OTHERS KILLED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GLASS SHATTERED. THE CONTACT CALLED HER INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

STARTED TRUCK UP TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER AND HEATED MIRRORS. WENT ABOUT 100 FEET IN DRIVEWAY AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED/SHATTERED ON MY 8 YEAR OLD SON'S BACK. THIS IS A 3 PIECE REAR SLIDING POWER WINDOW. TEMPATURE AROUND 10 DEGREES F.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER LANE WHERE THE WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO INDEPENDENTLY ROTATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY FORD LINCOLN (401 PLEASANT VALLEY BLVD, ALTOONA, PA 16602) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFEREED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF SHUDDER/JERKING ON 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE; EXACT SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA ID#10051923, 10052207, 10053407, 10052790, 10052788, 10058096, AND 10058115. ALL OF THESE INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSED WITH FORD ISSUING TSB'S, BUT DEALERS CLAIM IGNORANCE, IGNORE COPIES OF THE TSBS AND REFUSE TO PERFORM REPAIRS UNDER DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS FAILURE TO ACCELERATE ENTERING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY HAS ALMOST COST ME TWO COLLISIONS. APPARENTLY NHTSA IS AS USEFUL ON COMPLAINTS/INVESTIGATIONS AS FCC IS ON DO NOT CALL LIST COMPLAINTS. OPENED A CASE WITH FORD, RESPONSE IS THEY CANNOT FORCE DEALERS TO PERFORM TSBS UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THREE OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM WERE AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS IN DAMP CONDITIONS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION; TWO WERE WHEN RE-ENTERING HIGHWAY FROM LEFT LANE SERVICE AREAS IN NJ AND MD. AFTER 1ST TWO TIMES A DEALER IN MD REPLACED TWO IGNITION COILS AT MY EXPENSE CLAIMING COILS WERE NOT COVERED BY DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 1/1/18, LOCAL DEALER IN NH IGNORED FORD TSB 12-10-19 WHEN GIVEN A COPY AND SAID "THESE TRUCKS JUST BURN COILS AND SPARK PLUGS". I WAS CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AGAIN AND NOTHING WAS REPLACED/FIXED AS I REFUSED TO PAY APPROX. $600 TO REPLACE DRIVETRAIN PARTS.

I HAVE A 2012 FORD F150. ON 3 OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN AND MY MOTOR WOULD REV UP AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS DOWNSHIFTING ON IT'S OWN. MY VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK AND MY REAR WHEELS WOULD LOCK UP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER. THEY INDICATED THAT MY #6 IGNITION COIL NEEDED REPLACED AS WELL AS ALL OF MY SPARK PLUGS. I HAD THEM DO THE WORK AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CREATING A DANGER FOR MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS.

COLD STARTS CREATE RATTLE IN ENGINE AREA. FORD TSB 16-0027 COVERS THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER, DICK WITHAM FORD IN WATERLOO, IOWA CONTINUES TO PLAY GAMES WITH COVERING THIS ISSUE. TRUCK HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR OTHER ISSUES, SOME COVERED, AND I ASKED IF THERE WERE BULLETINS ABOUT LAG IN ACCELERATION OR OTHER THINGS THAT MAY CAUSE THIS. THEY TOLD ME MULTIPLE TIMES, NO, JUST A COMPUTER REPROGRAM THAT I ALREADY HAD COMPLETED. NOW MY TRUCK IS MAKING NOISE AND BY ALL REPORTS ON THE WEB, IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE. FORD KNEW ABOUT THIS GOING BACK TO AUGUST 19, 2015 (SEE TSB 15-0131) YET NEVER TOLD ME OR LOOKED AT MY TRUCK TO SEE IF THAT WAS CAUSING MY ISSUE. NOW WITH MY TRUCK JUST OVER 5 YEAR OLD BUT STILL WELL UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR MILES, IT MAY NOT BE COVERED. HOWEVER, THE NEW TSB CLEARLY STATES DEALER CODING 6C525 AND CONDITION CODE 42, IT IS UNDER WARRANTY VIA THE EMISSIONS. THIS IS MY 5TH NEW FORD TRUCK OVER THE YEARS, I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER. WITH THE PRICE WE PAY FOR BRAND NEW CARS AND TRUCKS THE MANUFACTURER MUST BE HELD TO WHAT THEY PROMISE THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A TIMING CHAIN STRETCH ISSUE CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN AND THE VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT) UNITS LEAKING CAUSING TIMING CHAIN DAMAGE. FORD'S FAULT, NOT MINE.

THE SPEEDOMETER SCREEN GOES BLACK AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL DROP UNEXPECTEDLY INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE IN MOTION, USUALLY ON A HIGHWAY.

MY F-150 SUPERCREW DEFROST DOES NOT WORK ON THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW NOR DOES THE ELECTRICAL DEFROST ON THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WORK. I HAVE PUT FORTH SIGNIFICANT TIME AND EFFORT TO TRY AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM, EVEN SO FAR AS PURCHASING A NEW CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO GET BOTH DEFROSTING (VISIBILITY) CAPABILITIES BACK IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW. THERE IS NO BYPASS, OR PARTIAL SOLUTIONS. THIS BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN I HAVE NO REAR VISIBILITY WITH MIRRORS (INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR) DURING CERTAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS.

I WAS LEAVING A STOP SIGN IN THE COUNTY ROAD I LIVE ON MAKING A RIGHT HAD TURN. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE TRUCK LOCKED UP AND SLID ACROSS BOTH LANES OF THE COUNTY ROAD BECAUSE THE OF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY AT THE TIME. SO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. THE FIRST TIME I GOING STRAIGHT COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE TRUCK JUST SOPPED. AGAIN NO DAMAGE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW PANEL EXPLODED INTO PIECES. A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-13920244. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR AND THEN BACK INTO FIRST GEAR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, THE WRENCH INDICATOR APPEARED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION FORD FRISCO AT (972) 763-5523 (LOCATED AT 6850 TX-121, FRISCO, TX 75034) WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN AND REFERENCED THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE. *TT *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING LOST POWER FOR UP TO THIRTY SECONDS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO THE DEALER (KRAUSE FAMILY FORD, 195 WOODSTOCK PKWY, WOODSTOCK, GA 30188) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 20, 2018. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

FORD ISSUED RECALL 15N05 FOR THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP. THIS WAS TO BE A ONETIME FIX WHICH I HAD REPAIRED WHEN IT FAILED. THE NEW ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP FAILED AGAIN 20,000 MILES AND 13 MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORD WILL NOT REPAIR. THE PARTS ARE OBVIUOSLY FAULTY AS MY DEALER TOLD ME SEVERAL F150 TRUCKS THEY REPAIRED UNTER THIS RECALL ARE BREAKING AGAIN.

I PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT, BUT HAPPENED TO NOTICE THAT I HAD A TYPO ON MY VIN. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES WITH THE ISSUE OUTLINED IN FORD RECALL 16S19. NHTSA CASE 16V248. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT GEARS UNEXPECTEDLY AT LOW SPEED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. MORE RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD IT DOWN SHIFT AT HIGHER SPEEDS(APPROX 50-70MPH). WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, IT CANCELS IT OUT AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE HAD ON TIME WHEN THE MIL WRENCH APPEARED BRIEFLY AND ALL NUMBERS ON THE CENTER SCREEN WENT TO DASHES UNTIL A RESTART OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE SPOKE TO DEALERS AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND LOOKED ON THE NHTSA SITE AND ALL HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL STATES THE AFFECTED DATES ARE FEBRUARY 11,2011 TO SEPTEMBER 8, 2012 AT THE DEARBORN PLANT. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT ON AUGUST 2, 2012 AT DEARBORN. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN ANSWER FROM ANYONE AS TO WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN IT MEETS THE DEADLINE BY OVER A MONTH.

MY TRUCK DOES TWO THINGS, BOTH WITH THE TRANSMISSION. 1RST THIS IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS AT ANY UNSUSPECTING TIME AND AT ALL SPEEDS. THE TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE (KILLING ALL POWER) STARTS TO CLUNK IN AND OUT OF GEARS TO THE POINT IT LOCKED UP THE TIRES ONCE GOING 55 MPH FOR A SECOND AS THIS IS HAPPENING MY MPH NEEDLE GOES TO 0, ALSO THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS RANDOM AS WELL. THE TRUCK DISPLAYS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHILE DRIVING ALONG, THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET STUCK IN THIRD AND WON'T SHIFT, SOME TIMES IT GETS STUCK IN FIRST AND NEVER MAKE IT UP TO 6TH GEAR IT WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS AS THIS IS HAPPENING THE MILES, AVG FUEL DISPLAY GOES TO ALL BLANKS. BOTH VERY UNSAFE AND VERY SCARY, AS I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NOT PUT MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I FEEL IT'S SAVE TO DO SO.

WE PURCHASED OUR F-150 ON OR ABOUT 1/2/2018 WITH NO KNOWN PROBLEMS, THE NEXT DAY IT DIDN'T WANT TO START AND SEVERAL ENGINE CODES SHOWED UP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CLEARED, RESET PROGRAM AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES, BUT SAID THEIR IS A RECALL ON ENGINE COOLANT AND THEY ORDERED PART. THE NEXT DAY THE CODES APPEARED AND WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK TO LEARN OUR DRIVING HABITS AND THE CODES WOULD DISAPPEAR. WE LEFT AND THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO START AGAIN AND WE ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUES. 1/9/2018

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH TRUCK SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR, SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER FINDING A SAFE AREA TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I TURNED IT OFF, RESTARTED IT, AND ISSUE APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED. APPEARS TO MATCH SCENARIO DESCRIBED IN RECALL 16V-248 (FORD # 16S19). FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS VIN IS AFFECTED BY THE SUBJECT RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ADVANCE TRACK SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE TURN SIGNALS AND STEERING CONTROL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO A SHOULDER LANE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (JC LEWIS FORD, 9505 ABERCORN STREET, SAVANNAH, GA 31406) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE LIGHT OFF. WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR ANYWHERE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF.

WHEN IN DRIVE (D) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LOCKS IN 1ST (1) GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STANDING START. STOP VEHICLE AND PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK (P). PLACE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE (D) AND ACCELERATE FROM STANDING START. TRANSMISSION OPERATES NORMALLY. RANDOM EVENT. FREQUENCY IS FOUR (4) TIME OVER APPROXIMATELY THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNING GOING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50-60 MPH, VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR RESULTING IN THE WHEELS LOCKING UP. WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT SLOWED DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED. FORD WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE AAMCO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION FOR $5,460.07. OCCURRED IN SEPT OF 2015 WITH 74,000 MILEAGE.

TURNED ON THE TRUCK TO WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER ON THE BACK WINDOW BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUT. ABOUT 5MIN DOWN THE ROAD WE HEARD THIS VERY LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. LUCKILY IT STAYED INTACT OR THE GLASS WOULD HAVE GONE ALL OVER MY TWO YEAR OLD SON. NOW I AM BEING TOLD IT COSTS OVER $1000.00 TO FIX!

WHILE IN MOTION AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS VIOLENTLY INTO FIRST GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT ME FROM BEHIND, HARD. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHILE I AM TURNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF MY TRUCK.
