Experience hard shifting, loss of power/acceleration, and malfunctioning instrument cluster including speedometer and digital display when accelerating. Scanned error code is P0721. Problem may be related to Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01 (molded lead frame) that has expired for my vehicle which has 193,000 miles. Ford is no longer covering the repair which is a safety hazard for its vehicle owners. Loss of power, inability to accelerate when necessary, and controls that don’t work put me and my passengers at risk. Dealer has confirmed that the problem is most likely due to expired repair but states it is no longer covered by Ford. I do not recall receiving a letter for this problem and I hope Ford will change and decide that customer safety is a concern.

The vehicle randomly shifts to first gear while driving at 30-45 MPH. The behavior is dangerous - in one case it caused me to lose control of my vehicle; in another, I was nearly rear ended. I was then forced to stop driving until I could have the car repaired. I paid to have the lead frame fixed. I’m told there was an extended warranty issued by Ford for this issue; however, because I drive my vehicle less frequently, I was months removed from the 10-year extended warranty threshold. For an issue as dangerous as this (and from my understanding is one that occurs somewhat frequently), I’m surprised a recall wasn’t issued!

Problems with transmission suddenly downshifting or not shifting out of low gear...could possibly cause a accident from the rear...no...no...called dealer was told no recall on my particular vehicle...no warning light as of yet but speed odometer acts crazy

Transmission has stuck in 5th gear multiple times and has suddenly downshifted from 5th to 3rd multiple times and has downshifted from 6th to 5th numerous times, also has started in 5th gear from starting of truck till I unhooked battery and then it went to normal 1st to start. On 2-3 occasions the wrench warning light has come on till I press ok then it may stay on a few seconds then turn off. Putting the safety of my family and others at risk as I travel highways daily. This is all after having to have another transmission in after the recall stating sudden downshift from 3rd to first, that recall caused my transmission to go out with zero help from Bob Moore Oklahoma city. They pointed the blame at me saying it didnt have transmission fluid but the shop that did the swap said it was not low or empty. This happened in 2021, here I am 3 years later wondering if it is going to be another expense I'm going to have to foot. And the recall procedure was preformed by bob moore Oklahoma city

The truck is unexpectedly downshifting to first exactly as the safety recall states .at this This happened while my son was driving the truck the attached picture shows the errors on the dash at the time and also the speedometer read zero when the truck was in motion. Tooele ford claims the safety recall was completed , however nhtsa website states it is an unresolved recall. Tooele ford and ford customer service refused to remedy the situation.

6-speed automatic transmission shift issues. Car shifted from 6 to 1st gear while driving down the highway at over 60mph. Recall 19S07 remediation was completed previously, the reprogramming. Now the issues back and the vehicle randomly shifts to 1st gear while in other gears like 4,5,6 going over 40 mph. The issue occurs randomly and creates a major hazard with the vehicle dramatically slowing down until the car gets back to a proper gear . Ford states that the molded lead frame needs replaced and will cost over $1,100. The prior recall didn't fix the issue just delayed a future driving hazard with a cost to the driver.

Our truck lost power and lights on dash came on with a wrench nothing else was working. Truck was not shifting properly and lost all power. We contacted Ford and they said the truck had a recall for transmission module but it was expired and they would not help us. We were never notified of the recall. In speaking with ford they did not want to help us and told us to contact the better business bureau. I found information on this recall online our truck is a 2013 Ford themselves said it should have been fixed but we had no idea of the problem. [XXX] . Is this not a safety issue that could cause an accident if the truck shifted in first gear while going down the highway at speed? I am blown away by Fords lack of care and assistance with this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While i was driving the speedometer went all the way to zero and started shifting down into first gear. i took it into a ford shop and they said i was 4000miles over the 150000mile warranty, and that the code p720 popped up on the codes. they said i need to replace the leadframe in the transmission and reprogram it, which will cost me $1500 out of pocket. it is very dangerous driving because i could easily get into an accident when this happens or transmission could blow that gear. i hope ford extends this warranty because i was reading online and found lots of people having the same issue as me.

Transmission will downshift into 1st gear or get stuck in 3rd or 5th gear.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. In addition, an abnormal, grinding noise would be emitted from the transmission.

Truck would crank but not start. Had towed to dealership and they found fuse 27 was melted. Was informed that this was a known design flaw. The fuse was relocated to slot 70. Car did not but could have caught fire causing catastrophic damage and injuries to myself or others.

While driving at normal speeds, sometimes the transmission would abruptly downshift to 1st gear. Fortunately, for me, it didn't happen at highway speeds, but I've heard that others have done so. I took my vehicle to a repair shop right away, they suspected the problem, and verified it with the diagnostic codes. I had it repaired at my own expense. I checked with my Ford dealer, and they suspected the same problem, but weren't sure they could even get the part, and couldn't even look at it for 6 days. There NEEDS to be a recall!

Truck speedometer goes to 0. Slows down abruptly. Rpm goes way up. Was going from 45 to less than 10mph in a matter of seconds. Feels like the transmission automatically downshifts to a lower gear. Very dangerous. Seems to be quite a few of these incidents on you tube. Truck only has 11600 miles on it.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly drop to first gear without warning. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle had been taken in for a recall with the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train) for which the remedy had been completed, however, they were still experiencing a failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired due to them missing the deadline for the warranty coverage portion relating to the recall mentioned above. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was 116,000.

Driving at 65 mph in 6th gear on the highway the transmission downshifted to first. It was as if I had slammed on the brakes, the downshift was completely unexpected and nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle. After regaining control over the vehicle and getting pulled off the highway into a safe turnout. The transmission had not overheated it was at its normal operating range. I allowed the pickup to sit for a few minutes. I checked the transmission fluid and it was at operating level and was not burnt nor did it have metal flakes in it. After allowing the pickup to sit for about 10 minutes I pulled back onto the highway and attempted to get back up to 65 mph, 1st gear didn’t shift to 2nd until just below 7000 rpm. 2nd to 3rd gear was also nearly 7000 rpm until the shift. The dash read 4th but the truck quit powering the rear wheels, as if the transmission were in neutral. The truck then flashed the orange wrench on the dash and was stuck in 3rd until I pulled over and parked and shut the pickup off for a few minutes. The problem repeated itself after attempting to get on the highway after letting the pickup sit for a few minutes. Prior to this incident there had been a very random and slight shift delay between 3rd and 4th and the trans would downshift from 6th or 5th to 3rd sometimes and there would be a delay in power for a couple of seconds before shifting to 4th then 5th to 6th

When you going down the road, it just downshifts

On march 11 2024 while traveling on the highway my f150 lost all power and stoped on the road. the truck was towed to point pleasant ford dealership. I was informed the transmission was completely out of oil. ford said the lines from the transmission to the oil cooler had failed. this was caused by a defective connector to the oil cooler. I was later informed the lines are steel but the connector is aluminum I wonder if the dissimilar metals caused the corrosion. the truck only had 48,000 miles on it although it is 11 years old. the truck stopping in middle of traffic is an extreme hazard.

This has now happened countless times. The truck will be in a gear, as I naturally speed up, the transmission will jerk and the truck will get stuck in the following gear. The truck will then be stuck in that gear and will not downshift. A big wrench light comes on, then turns off about 10 seconds later. In addition, the odometer lists dashes (---,---), no mileage measures. The speedometer stays at 0 mph even when driving in the stuck gear. Another light stays on, I think it is the airbag image. Everything stays as is until I turn off the truck. Once I turn off and turn back on, everything goes back to normal. I've taken the truck to Ford, but because there are no "check engine" lights and there are no codes, Ford will not cover. My mechanic has confirmed (without any codes) that the recall is TSB16-0008, which was issued in March 2019. Since my truck is showing no codes, and my truck is over 10 years old, Ford says they will not cover. This is extremely concerning. If the truck downshifts on the highway, or refuses to downshift when needed, I could be in a serious accident. As mentioned, this has now occurred countless times.

I started the truck and as I backed out of a parking spot, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the brakes did not stop the truck. I used the emergency brake to stop and pulled back into the parking spot. I checked the brake fluid and it was low. I purchased some at the store I was at and filled up the reservoir. I pumped the brakes and they appeared to work. After driving for about a block the brake fluid light came on and the reservoir was empty. No fluid leaking anywhere under the vehicle.

Low oil pressure flashing while driving with engine failure - no other issues just happened. Verified by mechanic March 2020

I own a 2013 Ford F-150. On numerous occasions while driving at any speeds, 40-70;MPH, the vehicle downshifted from 6th, 5th, and 4th to 1st gear, and cease to come to a halt. .

I would at times have to do this every few miles in order to make it to my destination. The check engine wrench warning light remained illuminated at times and other times would not, and the transmission failed to shift out of 1st gear. This would only happen periodically at 1st, then started happening on a regular basis I took to Ford dealership and got repairs done. At which time I Questioned if there were any recalls and they stated the recall repairs had already been fulfilled on my vehicle, therefore all costs involved are my responsibility. I paid the repair charges in full of approximately 2000$. Upon researching the recalls which started in 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V433000 (Power Train) or 19V075000 (Power Train). And also seeing documentation in reference to these campaigns that when some of the vehicles were repaired that the broken parts were not all removed from inventory therefore the original recall repairs were made with faulty parts. I then proceeded to phone the Ford dealership back and was pretty adamant that I should be reimbursed for the second repairs as it sounds like same issue of 2019 recall. I was denied my request and was informed t
