2012 Ford F-150 complaints

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE HOME. BUT VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE A POWER STEERING RECALL TO THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES.... *TR

THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WENT FROM 25 TO 2 MPH W/O ANY OTHER TRAFFIC. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND WE WENT FROM 45 TO 2 MPH WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND US. THE DEALER SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD SENSOR. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE ON 2015/2016 MODEL YEARS, BUT NOT ON 2012'S. THE DEALER SAID IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD HAS RECALLED NEWER TRUCKS BECAUSE OF IT.

SUNROOF IMPLODED WHILE PARKED. I WENT TO MY TRUCK TO GET SOMETHING IN THE AFTERNOON CLOSED THE DOOR, THOUGHT I HEARD A POP. WENT BACK TO WORK AND A COWORKER POINTED OUT SOMETHING LOOKED WRONG WITH MY SUNROOF. THE GLASS POPPED UP AND THE ENTIRE SUNROOF SHATTERED. HOW AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THIS!? $900 WAS THE ESTIMATE.

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTS WHEN AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. DOWNSHIFT WAS SO SUDDEN AND ABRUPT, IT CAUSED MY BACK WHEELS TO LOCK AND ACTUALLY SKIDDED TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP WHILE PASSING A ANOTHER CAR GOING 55 ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY. IF OTHER CARS WERE AROUND, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. FORD HAS RECALLED VEHICLES LIKE MINE (RECALL # 16S19) FROM KANSAS CITY, WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS MADE. BUT HAS TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW UP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN CANADA. IT WAS EXPORT FROM THE SAME PLAN HAVING THE PROBLEM. THIS SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EFFECT IS LIKE SLAMMING THE BRAKES AT 65 MPH. I WILL BE TAKING IN FOR REPAIRS AT MY EXPENSE. BUT FORD NEEDS TO BE MORE SAFETY CONSCIOUS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL . THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

IN HEAVY RAIN CONDITIONS AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST HERE IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, THE TRUCK ECOBOOST TURBO STALLED AND LOST POWER DURING AN ACCELERATION ONTO A FREEWAY ON RAMP. INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND PARTIAL LIMP MODE OCCURRED. DEALER MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A LOOSE CONNECTION WHEN IN FACT IT WAS THE KNOWN STALL/SHUDDER ISSUE THAT MULTIPLE ECOBOOST MOTORS ON F150S ARE EXPERIENCING IN RAINY DAMP CONDITIONS. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND YOU LOSE POWER WHILE TRYING TO PASS.

IN HEAVY RAIN CONDITIONS AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON THE I-5 THE TRUCK ECOBOOST TURBO STALLED AND LOST POWER DURING A PASSING SITUATION OF A LARGE 18 WHEELER. I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, AND ATTEMPTED A PASS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PASS DUE TO POWER LOSS, SHUDDER, AND LIMP MODE. INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND PARTIAL LIMP MODE OCCURRED. THIS IS THE KNOWN STALL/SHUDDER ISSUE THAT MULTIPLE ECOBOOST MOTORS ON F150S ARE EXPERIENCING IN RAINY DAMP CONDITIONS. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND YOU LOSE POWER WHILE TRYING TO PASS A LOGGING TRUCK AND SOMEONE FOLLOWS YOU AND YOU GET ONLY HALF WAY. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS TRUCK. DEALER DID A TSB THAT INVOLVED REPROGRAMMING THE PCM AND REMOVING A DEFLECTOR SHIELD. THIS FIX SEEMS LIKE A BAND AID, AND FORD SHOULD BE DOING A COMPLETE REDESIGN OF THE TURBO COOLER INTAKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. MOMENTS LATER, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE REAR WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

I HAVE A 2012 F-150 FLEX FUEL 5.0. LAST NIGHT IT STARTED DOWNSHIFTING AND SLAMMING INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I STOPPED FOR ERRANDS GOT STARTED ON THE ROAD AGAIN AND THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING BUT A "WRENCH" APPEARED IN MY DASH DISPLAY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH P0731 - MOLDED LEAD FRAME. HE INDICATED FORD HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN STATING A "FREE" FIX OF THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK IS AT FORD NOW BUT FORD IS SAYING MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2012 AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANT. WHAT WOULD MAKE THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME GO BAD IF IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL?

ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4/2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON HIGHWAY 401 IN MY 2012 FORD PICK UP (VIN1FTFX1CFOCFC04553) TOWING A BOAT WHEN MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND THIS WAS ONLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE AT THE TIME. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS AND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE TRUCK AND DRIVE UP THE ROAD TO AN OFF RAMP TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BUT THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY START AND IMMEDIATELY STALL. APPARENTLY, A VERY TINY SPIDER HAD BEEN PULLED INTO THE MASS AIR SENSOR AND THIS SOMEHOW KILLED MY TRUCK AND ALMOST ME.HOW DOES FORD ALLOW A SENSOR LIKE THIS TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN A VEHICLE AND WHAT IS OR HAS FORD DONE ABOUT SUCH A OBVIOUS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE THAT CAN CLEARLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH?

I TOOK MY F150 IN FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT. WHEN I GOT IT BACK, I LOST POWER, MPG. IT'S HARDER TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. IT WENT FROM 21/24 TO 15/16ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD IT BACK IN TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT FORD COMPANY INSTRUCTIONS. I PUT OVER 3,500 MILES ON MY F150 AND STILL GET CRAPPY MILEAGE. I WANT IT FIXED SINCE IT WORKED FINE BEFORE I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. I EITHER WANT IT FIXED OR SWAP FOR A NEW VEHICLE, OR I WILL SEE MY ATTORNEY. I AM TIRED OF THE STRESS. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO BREAK DOWN WHEN I'M TRAVELING OR IT COULD CAUSE A WRECK. I WANT SOMETHING DONE NOW, NOT LATER WHEN IT'S TO LATE. OUR DEALER, SHOW WALTER FORD IN VERNAL UTAH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. PHOTO SHOWING MPG IS FROM OUR TRIP FROM BILLINGS MT TO CASPER WY. TOTAL TRIP MPG WAS 16.9 FOR 1340 MILES11/05/2016 WE'VE HAD TWO OTHER TRIPS WITH THE SAME.

THE VEHICLE ALSO STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE ON THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR HWY 134 HEADING EAST BOUND WHEN THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED CAUSING A SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND OR THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND HAVE THE TRUCK AT SUNSHINE FORD IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD BEING REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I CHECKED AND THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED HAVE. I EXPECT MY TRUCK TO BE ADDED ONTO THE RECALL. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DEFECT. I WROTE TO FORD CORPORATION FRIDAY THE 28TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2016. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE, THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG HESITATION, AND STALLED MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND REPAIR SHOP MORE THAN ONCE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE AS WELL. MY HUSBANDS 2012 FORD F150 POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS HIS IS BY FAR NOT THE ONLY ONE. APPARENTLY OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS BUT NOT THE F150. I WAS TOLD GO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED AND IF WE ISSUE A RECALL, YOU MIGHT GET A REFUND. $2200 AND WE CAN GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED IF THEY SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN IN AND OUT SERVICE AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1903 HAS TURNED TO SUCH POOR QUALITY IN SERVICE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THEY WILL STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LOYALTY OF THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS MY TRUCK WOULD GET A " SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ALARM. AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT WOULD GO OFF. NOW IT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND MY TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, SO I CANNOT DRIVE TRUCK. IT HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT A 100+ DIFFERENT STATEMENTS FROM OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE $2,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FORDS AND THIS ISSUE IS REALLY MAKING ME THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE SO MANY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY BUYING THIS TRUCK AND BOUGHT IT OUT OF LOYALTY TO FORD AND THEY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT AND BE LOYAL TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. MY TRUCK IS A 2012 FORD F150 XTR 44. THIS COMPLAINT PROBABLY WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT I WISH IT WOULD. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE. THIS IS B.S.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER.

HAD THIS PROBLEN FROM START BUT DID NOT KNOW IT ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON 2012 DO NOT HAVE MANY HIGHWAY MILES BUT WHEN TRAVELING BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON . HAVE HAD CHECKED TWO TIMES AND NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES. HAD FORD CK AND FOUND TO BE VACUME LEAK THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR LONG TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE MANUAL BRAKES AT BEST . FORD SAID NOT WARRENTIED AND 700.00 TO FIX . I GUESS FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY RECALL. IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP PLEASE ADVISE.

WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN. I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MAXWELL FORD IN AUSTIN, TX AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE WAS A FAILED POWER STEERING GEAR/MOTOR AND REPLACED IT AT MY EXPENSE FOR APPROXIMATELY $1800. DOING BASIC ONLINE SEARCHING THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS YEAR MODELS OF F-150S REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES THAT HAVE RECALLS, BUT 2012 F-150S DO NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED.

VIN: [XXX] RECALL DATE: APR 25, 2016 RECALL TITLE: POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: AWAITING# FORD RECALL NUMBER: 16S19 RECALL DESCRIPTION: SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) SIGNAL TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN A TEMPORARY, UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. IN SOME CASES, THE OSS SIGNAL COULD RECOVER WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION; IN OTHER CASES THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED TO REGAIN NORMAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION. FORD IS AWARE OF THREE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS AND NO INJURIES RELATED TO THIS CONDITION ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. RISK TO SAFETY: DEPENDING ON VEHICLE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR MAY OCCUR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE OR LOCK UP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWS. THIS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY PROGRAM: OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED WITH UPDATED SOFTWARE. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. FORD IS EXCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PROGRAM WOULD PROVIDE FOR A FREE REPAIR FOR THIS CONCERN. FORD WILL FORWARD A COPY OF THE NOTIFICATION LETTERS TO DEALERS TO THE AGENCY WHEN AVAILABLE. STATUS: 12 - RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. MAN

I WAS DRIVING MY PICKUP DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD GOING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THIS HAPPENED IN JUNE AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I AM IN COLLEGE NOW AND DON'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE GOING DOWN INTERSTATE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AFTER DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 MONTHS, THIS IS GETTING FLAT OUT RIDICULOUS. THESE VEHICLES AFFECTED ARE DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULDN'T TAKE THIS LONG TO GET FIXED. WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN NOTIFIED BY FORD ABOUT THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED INDEPENDENTLY.

LOSS OF POWER UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, UNDIAGNOSED MISFIRE AT ALL SPEEDS. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR IN DRY AND WET CONDITIONS. THE TRUCK LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE TWICE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN THEN RESTART TO CONTINUE (AROUND 20K MILES). THIS OCCURRED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SEL ACTIVATED. AS MILEAGE HAD INCREASED, MISFIRE ARE WORSENING EVEN AFTER WATER IS REMOVED FROM AIR COOLER AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. MY TRUCK WAS AT A DEALER FOR 3 DAYS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. NORMALLY CHANGING THE PLUGS AND CLEANING OUT THE AIR COOLER FIXES THE PROBLEMS FOR A WHILE UNTIL NOW. I HAVE EVEN REPLACED A COIL BECAUSE IT IS THROWING A CODE FOR #1 CYLINDER NOT FIRING. THE NEW COIL MADE NO DIFFERENCE. THE VEHICLE HAS 133,000 MILES AND IS ALMOST NOT DRIVABLE IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD. I HAVE SUBMITTED MY COMPLAINT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH THERE IS AN APPARENT LOSS OF SIGNAL TO THE SPEEDOMETER FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT FROM 6TH TO 2ND CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NEARLY COME TO A HALT. HAPPENS VERY RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE OF TIMES. ON ONE OCCASION THE TRUCK WAS IN DRIVE, I WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO ANY WHERE. PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THEN IT WAS FINE.

BLINKERS QUIT WORKING

FOR ABOUT A MONTH WE WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK WOULD "DOWN" SHIFT ALL BY ITS SELF AND STOP. WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR IF WE COULD SAFELY GET OFF TO THE SIDE AND RESTART IT. AND THEN 5/21/16 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD AND LOTS "ALL POWER" THE LITTLE " WRENCH SYMBOL CAME PUT AND THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED, SHE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING LOT. SHE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LIKE FORD HAD TOLD US AND NOTHING, TURN IT KEY ON AND OFF STILL NOTHING WAITED ANOTHER 15 MINUTES AND IT WORKED. SO SHE SET THERE AND LET THE TRUCK WARM UP AND SHE WENT TO PULL OUT AND AS SHE DID THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AS SHE PULLED OUT AND THE TRUCK DIED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. SO WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (PIONEER FORD) AND THE OSS SENSOR HAD BROKE AND WAS CAUSING THE DOWN SHIFT AND LOSE SPEED. SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $450.00 PLUS TOWING FEES. AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE ALL BECAUSE OF THIS OSS CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOSE SPEED OF 65-70 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY. I CAN'T UPLOAD THE INVOICE ON MY IPAD, BUT I COULD FAX IF NEEDED.

THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE CONSOLE AFTER A SHARP TURN, TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT WORK WHILE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. HIT THE OK BUTTON AS INDICATED ON THE VEHICLE CONSOLE, AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING FORWARD THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING WENT OFF. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS A 2012 WITH 65,000 MILES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FROM FORD. THE WARNING TURNS ON AFTER TURNING SHARPLY OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. SOMETIMES THE WARNING COMES ON SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW AND OTHER TIMES AFTER IT CLEARS IT WILL STAY OFF FOR DAYS.

REAR TIRE LOCK UP WHILE TRAVELING AT DIFFERANT SPEEDS.

FLUID LOSS: ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING I AWAKE TO FIND PUDDLES OF FLUID UNDER TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND BOTH TIMES HAVE BEEN TOLD I HAVE NO LEAKS. 2 DAYS AGO THE PUDDLE OF REDDISH FLUID WAS MUCH BIGGER. ONCE AGAIN I AM TOLD NO LEAKS BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE SHOWN THEM PICTURES & I AM TOLD THERE ARE FLUIDS THEY CANNOT CHECK, FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A WAY TO DO THAT ON THIS TRUCK. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I CAN'T AFFORD A HUGE REPAIR BILL. OTHER F150 OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND I AM CONCERNED. IS FORD GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OR ARE THEY HOPING THE CONSUMER WILL PAY FOR FIX AFTER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

FUEL PUMP FUSE #27 MELTED CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE CONSOLE, TURN INDICATORS WOULD NOT WORK WHILE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, OR STATIONARY. HIT THE OK BUTTON AS INDICATED ON THE VEHICLE CONSOLE, AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING FORWARD THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING WENT OFF. DROVE TO A LOCAL LOWES STORE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AWAY. AFTER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK AND A NEW WARNING APPEARED EPAS "ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST " FAIL AND THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING ALSO CAME ON. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND WAS TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS A 2012 WITH 53,000 MILES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FROM FORD. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY "WILMA RUDOLPH BLVD." I HAD BEEN ON JUST A FEW MOMENTS PRIOR TO THE STEERING PROBLEM AS I AM SURE AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY HARD TO AVOID.

MY F150 IS CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCING THE EXACT DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THAT SAFETY RECALL 16S19 DESCRIBES. FORD IS NOT PROVIDING ANY RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND CURRENTLY DOES NOT KNOW WHEN A SOLUTION WILL BE AVAILABLE. MY TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE ISSUES SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR, REV UP WAY FARTHER THAN NECESSARY TO SHIFT AND THEN STALL. I HAVE TO TURN OFF MY TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES TO GET RID OF THE ISSUE JUST TO GET ME TO MY DESTINATION. THIS OCCURS ON 50% OF MY DRIVES AROUND THE CITY. I WILL NOT DARE TAKE IT FURTHER THAN 10 MILES IN FEAR THAT I MIGHT BE STRANDED AND FORCED TO PAY FOR TOWING. FORD HAS ALSO TOLD ME I MUST PROVE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE TO EVEN APPLY FOR A RENTAL. MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE IS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG BESIDES THE EXACT ISSUE I'M DESCRIBING. IT'S A PANDORA'S BOX, BUILT TO PUT THE CONSUMER IN THE WORST POSITION RISKING INJURY OR DEATH DRIVING A FAULTY VEHICLE OR PAYING THE BILL FOR A RENTAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT OIL DRIPPING UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

OUR TRANSMISSION IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL MENTIONED. WE ARE TRAVELING WITH A 2 YEAR OLD AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM THIS USA VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE

RATTLE IN STEERING, CAN BE FELT IN STEERING WHEEL. CAN BE FELT MOSTLY WHEN GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON ROUGH ROAD TO FEEL AND HEAR RATTLE. PURCHASED VEHICLE USED, BUT THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS!

I WAS DRIVING CLOSE TO 50 MPH ON A STREET AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND WENT INTO A SKID. THE ENGINE REVVED TO THE REDLINE. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BACK UP INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPRODUCED. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE CONSISTENT WITH A RECALL ISSUED BY FORD FOR THE 2011-2012 F150'S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSIONS, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY TRUCK'S BUILD DATE IS 8/29/2012. THE TRANSMISSION'S LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT THE SOFTWARE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED AS PRESCRIBED IN THE RECALL.

FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE GOTTEN A SERVICE CODE OF P0019, AND DURING THE TIME OF THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, WE EXPERIENCED SEVERE LOSS OF POWER, TO THE POINT HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE SIDE ROAD, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED VEHICLE, IT WAS ABLE TO RESUME. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY SAID NO PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, FAST FORWARD ANOTHER TWO YEARS, AND 80,000 MILES, WITH NO MORE WARRANTY, SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, MAJOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING AND CAUSING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO VIBRATE, THIS TIME, ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND CODE P0018 AND P0019, BACK TO THE FORD DEALER, THEY MADE ME CHANGE THE TURBO SENSORS, CHARGED ME $900 AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. NOW THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE CAM SHAFTS AND TIMING CHAIN GUIDES, CHARGE ME ANOTHER $2,400, AND WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING GOING ON HERE THAT AN ENGINE CANNOT LAST MORE THAN 85,000 BEFORE NEEDING MAJOR ENGINE WORK. NOW I FIND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AS IT RELATES TO THE ECOBOOST ENGINE, AND FORD IS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR POOR QUALITY PRODUCT AND THAT BUILT FORD TOUGH MEANS ONLY DURING THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. AMAZING THAT A $40,000 VEHICLE, CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000 MILES.

SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FOUR DIFFERENT CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVES AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER ON AND OFF FOR OVER SIX WEEKS WITH THEM SAYING TRY THIS IT SHOULD BE OK NOW. I ALMOST ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS GOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND SPEED DROPS TO ABOUT 40, THEN I HAVE TO GET ACROSS LANES TO THE SHOULDER LET THE TRUCK IDLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUETS. THEN I CANNOT GET IT TO GO ABOVE 50MPH FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS F150 NEW IN 2012 IT HAS BEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT BUT NOT THIS BAD, I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK.
