2012 Ford F-150 complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL ON A MAIN STREET WITH MY KIDS WHEN MY F150 2012 SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME ALSO. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND MAKE MY WAY TO MY HOUSE. I TOLD MY WIFE WHAT HAPPENED AND SHE MENTIONED THAT SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED TO HER. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AND COULD FIX IT IN APPROXIMATELY SIX DAYS. AFTER PICKING THE TRUCK UP THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE DRIVE HOME. IT DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR FROM 3RD OR 4TH AND ALMOST LOCKED UP THE TIRES ON A BUSY ROAD. I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET WITH FORD FOR RETURNING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE STATING THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT TESTING IT TO BE SURE AND PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SAID THAT WAS THE ONLY FIX ON THE RECALL. I HOPE FORD IS NOT GETTING OFF THAT EASY BY DOING A SOFTWARE FIX WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER. THEY MUST BE HELD TO A SAFE STANDARD AND ACCOUNTABLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF NOT ONLY THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROADS. THE FACT THAT THE MECHANICS ARE NOW TELLING ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY KNOW THE FIX BUT WANT US THE CONSUMERS TO PAY TO FIX THEIR WIDE SPREAD ISSUES IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY IMAGING HOW MANY PEOPLE WONT BE ABLE TO OR WANT TO FIX THE ISSUE AND SELL THE VEHICLES PASSING TH

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP.

THE 2011-2013 FORD F-150 ECO BOOST IS KNOWN TO HAVE TIMING CHAIN STRETCH ISSUES CAUSING POSSIBLE TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. 25 MONTHS AGO WE SPENT $3,700 HAVING CAMS AND PHASERS AND ALL CHAINS REPAIRED BY A FORD CERTIFIED DEALER WITH FORD MOTOR CRAFT PARTS. LESS THAN 1 MONTH FOLLOWING THE WARRANTY OF THE WORK THE SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN HAS FAILED LEAVING THE VEHICLE USEABLE WHILE MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD AND WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER $3,700 REPAIR PLUS A TOW AND INCONVENIENCE FOR A KNOWN AND REPEATED PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THESE ISSUES.

I TURNED ON MY DEFROSTER ON MY VEHICLE AND THE BACK PASSENGER GLASS BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED...THE VERY BACK WINDSHIELD

6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DROPS DOWN INTO FIRST GEAR NO MATTER THE SPEED. FROM 6TH TO 1ST CONSTANTLY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE,THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED,CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP,AND THE TRUCK SKIDDING

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRIC BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. IT MALES A LOUD NOISE WHEN BRAKES ARE USED AND MAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL DIFFICULT TO PRESS DOWN ON AND HAVE A POSITIVE BRAKE REACTION. THE FIRST DISTANCE TRAVELED AFTER INITIAL STARTUP HAS VERY LITTLE BRAKE ACTIVITY DUE TO THE PUMP NOT CREATING BRAKE PRESSURE. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD AS SOME TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BASED ON THEIR MANUFACTURE LOCATION, MY TRUCK WAS NOT MADE AT THE LOCATION NEEDED TO QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL AND FIX OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS AS THOSE THAT DO QUALIFY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER BOB THOMAS FORD INC (2215 DIXWELL AVE, HAMDEN, CT 06514) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.*DT*JB

I WAS LOADING UP TO GO TO THE DUMP IN MY 2012 F150 AND I TAPPED THE BACK WINDOW JUST SLIGHTLY WITH A PIECE OF GARBAGE AND IT SHATTERED MY BACK WINDOW INCLUDING MY SLIDER AND THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW, THIS WAS NO HARSH IMPACT IT WAS THE SLIGHTEST TAP ALMOST LIKE IT SHATTERED WITH NO FORCE.

WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON A NEW SET OF TIRES, I HAD A POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING. I WAS ATTENDING A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK TO RETURN HOME A NOTICE CAME ON THE DASH. I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN, OPENED THE DOOR THEN RESTARTED. THE WARNING WAS GONE AND I HAD POWER STEERING. WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT WAS VERY EASY, TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WAS JUST SLIGHTLY HARDER.

ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, MY 2012 FORD F-150 WAS INVOLVED IN A 35MPH FRONT END COLLISION. THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM CONCERNED WHY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER ACCIDENT, THERE WAS AN AMBER "AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN 2012, THERE WAS A FORD F-150 RECALL # 12V198000 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG CONTROL SENSOR MODULE (OCSM). THIS VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. THIS VEHICLE MAY HAVE A FAULTY OCSM THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I AM GOING TO ASK THE REPAIR SHOP TO SAVE THIS VEHICLES "BLACK BOX" AND OCSM IN CASE THERE IS NEED FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THESE PARTS.

THE REAR DEFROSTER FAILS WHICH CAUSES THE HEATED SIDE VIEW MIRRORS TO CEASE WORKING AS THEY ARE ON THE SAME CIRCUIT OR WIRED IN SEQUENCE. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING VISIBILITY AND SHOULD BE WORKING CORRECTLY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 2009-2014 F-150'S AND SHOULD BE A RECALL TO BE CORRECTED. THE ISSUE CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN AS SOON AS I GOT OUT MY TRUCK SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT AND ALSO THE WRENCH LIGHT AND AS I WAS DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T GO PAST 0 BUT WOULD STILL ACCELERATE. THIS WAS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 15MPH.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION 45MPH + (SPONTANEOUSLY) , ORANGE WRENCH COMES UP ON MY DASH, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO, ENGINE POWER IS CUT TO ALMOST NOTHING, AND A FEW TIMES AT HIGHER SPEEDS 60MPH +, THE WHEELS LOCK DUE TO TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LOOP, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, IT'S RANDOM. I CAN ONLY LIMP MY WAY TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER, TURN ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON AND EVERYTHING GENERALLY STARTS WORKING AGAIN. LAST NIGHT ON A CITY ROAD DOING ABOUT 55MPH IT LOCKED UP AGAIN BUT REFUSED TO DROP OUT OF 5TH GEAR THOUGH I WAS AT A DEAD STOP. EVEN TURNING THE KEY OF AND ON WOULD NOT RE SET IT. IT FINALLY GOT TO 1ST AFTER MESSING WITH IT AND I GOT IT HOME, HOOKED IT TO MY OBD2 READER AND IT IS THROWING A P0720 OUTPUT SPEED SHAFT SENSOR MALFUNCTION CODE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE CODE IT IS NOW SHOWING, AND DATE OF MALFUNCTION IS MOST RECENT.

MY TRUCK WAS 10,000 MILES OUT OF ITS EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN ON COLD START UP THE ENGINE WOULD RATTLE ON STARTUP. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM PHASERS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR 2 MONTHS. WITH PARTS ON BACK ORDER. WITH THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE I HAD DONE THE TOTAL BILL WAS 3,085.51. THE TRUCK WAS REGULARLY SERVICED EVERY 5,000 MILES BY A FORD DEALER. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT LACK OF MAINTENANCE IT WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURER. DUE TO THIS I FEEL LIKE I SHOULDN'T BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE.

WE JUST SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR NEAREST FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF WITCH IS STILL AN HOUR AND A HALF DRIVE. THEN ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT IT STARTED TO RATTLE AND DIED WHILE TRAVELING THRU A CONTROLLED INTERSECTION. I MADE IT HOME BARELY AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX. BOTTOM LINE IS IT RUINED THE ENGINE AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $10,000 BILL. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE ROAD TO THE DEALERSHIP I COULD HAVE CRASHED OVER THE STEEP TERRAIN.

THE WRENCH SYMBOL COMES ON AND THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT SCREEN GOES BLANK AND THE TRANSMISSION EITHER GETS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR OR WILL START OFF IN 3RD AND ONLY SHIFT THROUGH 5TH GEAR. YOU CAN TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL RESET AND START OFF IN FIRST AND THE SCREEN WILL RETURN TO NORMAL. UNUSUALLY WHEN THIS OCCURS WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AGAIN IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND AT THIS TIME YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RECONNECT AFTER 15 SECONDS TO REGAIN MOBILITY. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCM TO NO AVAIL. THE NEW PCM IS REGISTERING A CODE NOW FOR THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR WHICH HAS HAD A RECALL IN OTHER 2011-12 F150 MODELS. THROUGH RESEARCH AND CONVERSATIONS ON FORD TRUCK FORUM'S I HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 34,XXX MILES DOCUMENTED AS VERIFIED. RECENTLY WAS PROVIDED CARFAX FOR THE VEHICLE THAT SAYS IT HAD 60,XXX MILES PREVIOUSLY IN 2017. ALSO VEHICLE SOLD WITHOUT DISCLOSED ACCIDENT .

TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME FAILING AND SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR ONLY AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TAKEN TO DON RICH FORD FOR SERVICE TWICE NOW AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. I ALSO CONTACTED FORD A FEW TIMES AND I AM TOLD THE MILEAGE COVERAGE IS OUT NOW. THIS HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE MILEAGE GOING OVER THE 150,000 AND NOW I'M AROUND 191,000 AND CAN NOT GET A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ADDRESSED THAT WAS HAVING THE ISSUES PRIOR. THEY STATED NO CODES PRESENT BUT IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND HAS HAPPENED 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. EACH TIME I WAS VERY CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND OR GUARD RAILS. I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET FORD TO ADDRESS THIS KNOWN ISSUE INSTEAD OF AVOIDING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS SON WHO OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DOWNSHIFTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CODE FOR ENGINE COOLING WAS DISPLAYED. THERE WAS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH SEVERAL LIGHTS AND ALSO WITH THE BRAKED AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE ARE OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,000.

MY F150 WOULD JUMP OUT OF GEAR AT RANDOM TIME, I CAN BE TURNING ON TO THE HIGHWAY OR JUST BEEN RIDING ALONG THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IM BEING JERKED WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. IVE NOTICE THE ODOMETER GAUGE ZEROS OUT. I CAN PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT DRIVES LIKE NOTHING AS HAPPENED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR WITH THE AIR BAGS AND POWER TRAIN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY WHERE HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH RESUMED BACK TO NORMAL.

THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES IS MAKING A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. FORD SAYS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT ISN'T A PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE BRAKES GOING OUT. ALTHOUGH, THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE HOW THERE CAN'T BE A RECALL IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN ALL 2011 AND 2012 FORD F150S.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WARP AND IN TURN BREAK OFF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUD AT THE REAR OF THE MANIFOLD MAKING A VERY LARGE EXHAUST LEAK AT THE BLOCK WHERE IT MEETS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD THIS HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION ON HIGHWAYS

THE LOSS OF USE OF REARR BACKUP CAMERA

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I DID RECEIVE THE DAY BEFORE A WARNING STATING TO HAVE MY ADVANCEDTRAC SYSTEM SERVICED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST TIRE AND BRAKE SERVICE CENTER THAT I WAS ALREADY SCHEDULE TO DO AN ALIGNMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS IN ALIGNMENT BUT THEY SUSPECTED I COULD HAVE A STEERING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR AND THE COST WOULD BE 1900.00 DOLLARS. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT FORD HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS TYPE OF POWER STEERING SYSTEMS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. I CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY TRUCK WAS PART OF FORD'S RECALL FOR THE LEAD FRAME SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS WHERE THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I GOT THE PCM REPROGRAMMED - WHICH THEY CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL SINCE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM DOWNSHIFTING IF IT LOST THE TRANSMISSION SPEED READING. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION TO REPLACE PARTS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL, BUT A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION - BECAUSE THE REPROGRAM WAS SUPPOSEDLY GOING TO COVER THE TRULY UNSAFE ASPECT BY PREVENTING A DOWNSHIFT. BUT THAT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK THE PARTS REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL TOO (NOT SUBJECT TO WARRANTY LIMITS). I HAD TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS ONLY FOR 150,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAD 178,000 AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER 1200 DOLLARS. THEY DO A SAFETY RECALL TO REPROGRAM, CORRECTLY SAY IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THEN THEY COME OUT AND SAY OH, IT WORKS BETTER IF WE REPLACE THE PARTS, BUT SOMEHOW GET AWAY WITH SAYING THAT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, JUST OFFER A LONGER WARRANTY? *JS
