2013 Ford F-150 complaints

2013 F150 ANALOG SPEEDOMETER READS 45MPH WHEN STOPPED. ALL OTHER GAUGES WORK CORRECTLY. DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER IN ENGINEER TEST MODE READS ACCURATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE AT A SLOW SPEED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER WAXAHACHIE FORD (1780 W. HWY 287 BYPASS, WAXAHACHIE, TX 75167, (877) 223-7050) AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V433000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,180.

ENGINE KNOCKING ON STARTUP. THE KNOCK IS MORE EASILY HEARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE KNOCKING IS THE MOST NOTICEABLE FOR THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF STARTUP. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAY. THE AMOUNT OF KNOCKING FOLLOWS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM. ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND FLASHED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS WAS THE START OF THE ENGINE KNOCK.09

MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN A TURN IN MY 2013 F150 AND THE STEERING GOES "STIFF" FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT FEELS LIKE I DON'T EVEN HAVE POWER STEERING OR ANY CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. AND IT'S TERRIFYING EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I'VE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE RAILING WHILE GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN ON A MOUNTAIN THAT COULD OF CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE CLIFF DUE TO THE LOCKED UP STEERING.

WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND 2 MILES OF ENGINE STARTUP AND AFTER TURNING ONTO A NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RPM AND ENGINE POWER DROPPED SUDDENLY TO IDLE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUT. AFTER STOPPING AND IMMEDIATELY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, PERFORMANCE WAS NORMAL AND THE WARNING LIGHT FOR POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER/ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS OFF. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION OF THE SAME HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER FOUR LANE STREET/HIGHWAY WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP. NO CODES WERE SHOWN ON TWO DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TOWING A TRAILER AT THE TIME.

PULLING CAMPER ONTO INTERSTATE, ACCELERATED TO MERGE. TRUCK SHOOK, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK BARELY MADE IT SAFELY TO THE NEXT EXIT. PEPBOYS REPLACED #2 COIL. MADE IT THE REST OF THE TRIP. UNABLE TO TOW CAMPER OR ACCELERATE NORMALLY, AS TRUCK SHUDDERS AND SLOWS SIGNIFICANTLY IN RESIDENTIAL AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS. ECOBOOST SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL TRUCK AND ENGINE, SO I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO FORD. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AROUND 66,000..

TRANSMISSION REACHES AN UNCERTAIN SPEED THEN WRENCH APPEARS AND ALL POWER IS LOST, FORCING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAVING TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING. WAITING UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO RESUME TRAVEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE. I CHOOSE NOT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I CAN NOT REACH THE SPEED LIMIT POSTED. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE I DON'T PUT MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN HARMS WAY.

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING OR NOT SHIFTING CAUSING VEHICLE TO FLY OFF ROAD OR OUT A LANE INTO TRAFFIC.

GOT IN MY CAR AT 9:30 PM. I HAD AUTO STARTED MY CAR. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE, INSERTED MY KEY AND THEN THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSIVE POP THAT STARTLED ME. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, THANK GOODNESS, OR I MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I NOTED THAT THERE WERE OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THAT IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE FRAME SUPPORT FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER MAGUIRE'S FORD EAST (100 N THISTLEDOWN DR, PALMYRA, PA 17078, (717)838-8300) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.

ON 02/20/2021 PARKED MY VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. ALL GLASS WAS FINE AND INTACT. MORNING OF 02/21/2021 I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK TO LEAVE. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED OVER NIGHT OR THE MORNING OF, TRUCK IS SITTING EXACTLY WHERE I PARKED IT. NO ADVERSE WEATHER. A FEW MINUTES LATER I AM PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I LOOK INTO MY REVIEW MIRROR AND SEE MY DRIVER'S SIDE, BACK WINDOW GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I KNOW NOTHING HAS HIT IT FROM THE INSIDE, PLUS THE VERY LARGE HEADREST IS IN POSITION AND PROTECTS MOST OF THAT WINDOW FROM THE INSIDE. I KNOW NOTHING COULD HAVE HIT FROM THE OUTSIDE AS A I HAVE A PROPERLY FITTED CENTURY CAP ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND THIS PROTECTS THE GLASS FROM BEING STRUCK ON THE OUTSIDE. I LOOK UP INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND FIND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY ISSUE OCCURRING IN MULTIPLE YEARS OF F150'S AND MANY SIMILARLY RELATED TO REMOTE START, WINDOW DEFROSTER, ALLEGATIONS. I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT RECOGNIZES THIS AS A RECALL YET. SEVERAL ARTICLES OR VIDEOS I SAW RECOMMENDED A COMPLAINT THROUGH HERE. THIS MANY TRUCKS, SAME ISSUE, SAME MAKE, MODELS AND QUITE A YEAR SPAN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH CRUISE CONTROL ON. NOT A ROUGH ROAD AND NO OTHER TRAFFIC. TURNED ON REAR DEFROST TO CLEAR SNOW ON REAR GLASS THAT WAS BLOWING UP FROM THE BED. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR GLASS PANEL SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO VEHICLE FLEX OR IMPACT TO THE WINDOW.

THE V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE IS TRASH. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED WITH ANOTHER CRAPPY V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE THAT IS NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE THROUGH A ROD ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND ONE IS GETTING COOLANT IN THE OIL

DRIVING AT AROUND 40 MPH VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED TO LOW GEAR & WRENCH 🔧 LIGHT CAME ON & SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 & VEHICLE REMAINED IN LOW GEAR BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME. AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF FOR FEW MINUTES & BACK ON IT CLEARED OUT ISSUE & WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON BUT DEALER CAN'T CHECK IT FOR TWO WEEKS, 2-18-21. THERE WAS A COUPLE RECALLS 19S07 6R80, 19S19 6R80 FOR SUDDEN TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING, WHICH WAS DONE BY DEALER.

DRIVING @ 35 MPH AND TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFT TO 1 ON THE GAUGE. TRUCK SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. PULL OVER AND STOPPED. SHIFT TO 'PARK', WAITED A FEW SECONDS, SHIFT BACK TO 'DRIVE' AND MADE IT HOME. OCCURRENCE WAS SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION RECALL. PRESENTLY, NO SIMILAR OCCURRENCE FROM 1/31 TO PRESENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR INADVERTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MIKE WILLIS FORD (930 BEGLIS PKWY, SULPHUR, LA 70663, (337) 625-3030) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING TO REPROGRAM THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 162,000.

RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK GO THROUGHT A INSPECTION CHECK AT A PROFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RIGHT AND LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASES TO LEAK INTO MY CABIN AND POWER LOSS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. REASON FOR LEAKS ARE DUE TO EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING AND WARPED EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

MY WIFE, GRANDCHILD AND I DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH IN ICY CONDITIONS AND TRUCK SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR AND HAD TO CONTROL VEHICAL TO COME TO STOP, I DID NOTHING WRONG ,WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I DROVE THE VEHICAL THE REST OF WY ON PINS AND NEEDLES.IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOLVED, THANK YOU.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLES ENGINE BLEW AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOST POWER AND I HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE ROAD. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THEIR ECO-BOOST ENGINES BLOW DUE TO A MOISTURE ISSUE IN FORDS DESIGN. FORD ISSUED A TSB NOT A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND HAVE LAST MANY MOTORIST INCLUDING MY SELF AT DANGER AS THE ENGINES CAN GO WITHOUT WARNING. FORD HAS DENIED MY CLAIM I MADE THROUGH THEM AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS PASSING THEM OFF AS LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OFF. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN AT VARIOUS MILLAGE CONDITIONS WHILE SOME HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AT ALL. FORD HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO WHY THIS HAPPENS AND A GUARANTEE IT CAN BE PREVENTED.

I GOT ON THE FREEWAY AFTER GETTING GAS FROM GAS STATION. I WAS AT 70 MPH AND IT STARTED TO DOWNSHIFTING AND I WAS LUCKY TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER FROM FAST LANE. DEALER ALREADY DID THE REPAIR FOR THIS RECALL LAST YEAR.

ELECTRONICS IN THE THROTTLE BODY CAUSE A COMPUTER FAULT WHILE DRIVING, WHICH RESULTS IN THE ENGINE (3.5 L TWIN TURBO V-6) INSTANTLY GOING INTO LIMP MODE, WHERE THE ENGINE PRODUCES NO POWER. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHERE THE SUDDEN DECELERATION CAN CAUSE A COLLISION, AND WHERE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THIS FAULT IS VERY COMMON IN FORD F-150'S AND FORD AUTOMOBILES. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IGNORED BY FORD AND THE NHTSA FOR YEARS! IT SHOULD BE THE OBJECT OF A RECALL! I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY F-150 AT 75,000 MILES. NOW, 25,000 MILES LATER IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN! THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AS WELL AS EXPENSIVE! PLEASE, MAKE FORD STAND BEHIND THEIR DANGEROUSLY FLAWED PRODUCT!

DRIVER SIDE TUBO/SUPERCHARGER COOLANT LEAKS

WHILE DRIVING EXPERIENCED LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATION, AND VEHICLE ENTERING LIMP MODE. VEHICLE HAD P0720 AND P0721 TROUBLE CODES. ALSO EXPERIENCED AN UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AN HOUR NEARLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ASSUME NORMAL DRIVING SOON AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO COURTESY FORD LINCOLN(3533 N VERMILION ST, DANVILLE, IL 61832) WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER; HOWEVER, DESPITE THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED HIS FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:19V433000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING ALONG AT A CONSTANT 65MPH AND SUDDENLY MY TRUCK JUMPED IN A LOWER GEAR, RPS REVED WAY UP, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED ALMOST OUT OF MY HAND, TIRES EVEN HAD A SLIGHT SQUEAL. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE I HAD HIT SOMETHING. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL AND BACK TO RESUMED SPEED.

PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, JUST AFTER TRAVELING ON THE 65 MPH HIGHWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND KICKED BACK HARD INJURING MY LEFT THUMB. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. THE TRUCK REMAINED OPERATIONAL OTHERWISE BUT THE STEERING REMAINED LOCKED. A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED SAYING "POWER STEERING FAILURE". HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE RESEARCH THE HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE F-150 STEERING AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AS THIS WILL, IF NOT, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. THIS IS THE LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN, PERIOD. THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR INEPT ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ERRONEOUSLY DOWNSHIFT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY REDUCE SPEED. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO NEARLY LOOSE CONTROL AND CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH THE SPEEDOMETER FAILING TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION.

ENGINE STOPS WITH WRENCH CODE. SOMETIMES WILL RESTART AND RUN OK. BROKE DOWN 500 MILES FROM HOME AND TOOK TO MECHANIC, PROBLEM WAS NOT FOUND, HOWEVER CONTINUED TO RUN. STOPPED AGAIN 3 TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE SECOND TIME TO A MECHANIC THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED TO BE UNDERSIZE FUSE PORT ON FUSE BLOCK AND FUSE RELOCATE KIT FORD (EL3Z-14293-A) WAS INSTALLED. THIS SEEMS TO BE KNOWN PROBLEM AND OWNERS SHOULD BE ADVISED AS THE VEHICLE LOSES COMPLETE POWER SOMETIMES CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FUSE AMPERAGE IS ADEQUATE BUT TERMINALS ARE TOO SMALL, IT IS MOVED TO A LARGER TERMINAL AREA ON FUSE BLOCK, THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN. IT SAYS "STEERING ASSIST FAULT". IT SHOULD HAVE SAID OMG DON'T PANIC AND SLOW THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY NOT TO DIE BECAUSE YOU HAVE LOST ALL OF YOUR STEERING CAPABILITIES. I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF I WAS AROUND TOO MANY VEHICLES OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN WERE DRIVING THE TRUCK. THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT ALL F150S WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRED. WITH ALL OF THE SAFETY MEASURES AND COMPANIES SUCH AS YOU GUYS WHY ON EARTH IS THIS TRULY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE ALLOWED? APPARENTLY, THE 2013 MODEL IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND MANY EASILY FOUND FORUMS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS ISSUE. FOR WHAT IS WORTH THE OTHER ISSUES ARE NONLIFE-THREATENING BUT NOLESS ANNOYING AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE TWO 2013 F150 FORDS AND BOTH HAVE HAD THEIR REAR WINDOWS REPLACED DUE TO THE DEFROST BREAKING. THE LARIAT HAS HAD IT'S REPLACED TWICE, TWICE! BOTH TRUCKS HAVE HAD THEIR SUNROOF GUTS REPLACED. ONE ALMOST FLEW OFF THE VEHICLE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. COMPLAINTS AND FORUMS GALORE TALK ABOUT ALL THREE OF THESE ISSUES.

THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS SITTING WITH NO KEY IN IT. THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON LOW AND HIGH WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ON ANY OTHER SETTING. THE STEERING BECOMES TWITCHY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

IN MOTION, THE MIL COMES ON, IT GOES INTO LIMPMODE AND THROWS TROUBLE CODE P2111.

GOING IN MOTION ON THE TURNPIKE AT 70MPH MY TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR. AFTER THAT THE WRENCH AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MILEAGE ERASED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. AT A STATIONARY RED LIGHT MY TRUCK WOULD SHOW I WAS ON 3RD GEAR. FORTUNATE FOR ME I WAS BY MYSELF WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED BUT I COULD'VE BEEN WITH MY FAMILY AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AND EVEN MORE SCARED TO BRING HE FAMILY WITH ME ON MY TRUCK. THAT IS THE NEWEST CAR IN MY HOUSE AND WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE THE MOST DEPENDABLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT AND I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I WAS AFFECTED BY THIS PANDEMIC. IF I CAN SELL THE CAR BACK TO THE BANK IT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN FEELS SAFE BRINGING THIS CAR AS THE FAMILY TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F-150 ON 12-11-2020 GOING ABOUT 40 - 50 MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO GO INTO A TIRE SQUEALING SKID. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS AROUND ME. ONCE I GOT CONTROL AND THE TRUCK SLOWED IT STILL WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I PULLED OVER AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO MY HOME A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS. THERE I LET THE CAR SIT OVER THE WEEKEND NOT DRIVING IT AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12-14-2020. EARLIER THAT YEAR ON 6-25-2020 I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO DO THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO ELIMINATE THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING IN THE 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE. FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED APPARENTLY THE FIX DID NOT WORK. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED THAT THE FIX SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT HAD TO BE SOMETHING ELSE. THEY ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE UNLESS FORD FURTHER OPENS RECALLS AGAIN FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD ALL I COULD DO IS KEEP THE RECEIPTS FOR THE LABOR AND REPAIRS AND HOPE THAT MAYBE I CAN GET REIMBURSED IN THE FUTURE IF THE RECALL IS OPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHICH CAN ALSO BE LIFE-THREATENING FORD NEEDS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES PROPER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP, A FELLOW MOTORIST INFORMED HIM THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. NEITHER A DEALER NOR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

THE TRUCK SHIFTS BY ITSELF INTO OTHER GEARS AT A STOP. IT ALSO SHIFTS BY ITSELF INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN I AM GOING 25-35 MPH.

BRAKE FLUID LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, AUDIBLE CHIME, MESSAGE CENTER ALERT, BRAKE WARNING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT.

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT THE 2013 F150 PLATINUM ON OCT. 17TH 2020 WITH 96,726 MILES ON IT. AT 97,400 MILES, WE HAVE PUT LESS THEN 700 MILES ON THE USED VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ON DEC. 4TH 2020 OUR WINDOW SHATTTERED. MY HUSBAND PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVE NEXT TO THE HOUSE AS WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE WITH ALL OUR VEHICLES. MY HUSBAND WAS HEADING OUT FOR WORK ON DEC 4TH 2020 WHEN HE HEARD WHAT SEEMED LIKE A GUN SHOT GOING OFF. HE HAD USED THE AUTO START ON THE TRUCK AND WENT OUT ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER TO PLACE HIS LUNCH BAG AND COFFEE THERMOS IN THE REAR FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUCK LIKE HE DOES EVERY MORNING. HE CLOSED THE DOOR AND STARTED TO WALK TOWARDS THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY TO CHECK THE MAIL FROM THE PREVIOUS DAY SINCE IT HAD NOT BEEN CHECKED. WHEN HE CLOSED THE DOOR AND GOT TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HE HEARD THE LOUD BANG ( GUN SHOT SOUND), THINKING IT WAS A GUN SHOT HE WALKED BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK AND AROUND IT LOOKING FOR ANY INDICATION OF A GUN SHOT OR A PERSON WITH A GUN.HIS MILITARY TRAINING KICKED IN... UPON INVESTIGATING HE FOUND NOTHING THAT SEEMED OUT OF THE NORM SO HECONTIUED DOWN THE DRIVE, CHECKED THE MAIL AND GOT BACK TO THE TRUCK TO GO TO WORK. DRIVING TO WORK HE SEEN ON THE BACK WINDOW WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS ICE. HE TURNED THE REAR DEFROST ON WAITING FOR IT TO MELT OFF AND THOUGHT NOTHING MORE OF IT. THAT AFTERNOON AFTER WORK HE HAD REALIZED THE ICE LOOK WAS STILL THERE. WHEN HE GOT HOME HE LOOKED AT THE WINDOW CLOSER. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE REAR D

TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR UNPREDICTABLY AT ANY SPEED.

3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, PRESSED GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE ONTO HIGHWAY. GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK IN DOWN POSITION WITH ENGINE REVVING. HELD BRAKE TO SLOW IT DOWN, PICKED RIGHT BACK UP WHEN LET OFF. NO FLOOR MATS WHERE NEAR THE PEDAL, AND TAPPING THE BRAKE DIDN'T DISENGAGE IT. WAS STUCK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AT DANGEROUS SPEEDS

TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED HARD THE TRUCK ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE ROAD AND THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE REPAIR WRENCH CAME ON AND WENT OFF. I HAD TO STOP AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF TO FIX THE SPEED ODOMETER. IT DID IT TWICE MORE ON THE WAY HOME. SOFT WARE UPDATE HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED.THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL.

MONKEY WRENCH COMES ON ALL GAUGES FAIL AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON DROPS TO 5TH GEAR IN THE PAST YEAR RECENTLY SAME THING HAPPENING BUT IT DOWN SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY AND IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARING IT'S AT 5K-6K RPMS

WHILE DRIVING THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, FUEL ECONOMY, ECT. ON THE DASHBOARD QUIT WORKING AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT LIT UP. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED IT, IT WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

THE 3 PIECE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WITH NO PROVOCATION. MY WIFE AND I ENTERED THE TRUCK CLOSED THE DOORS AND A FEW SECONDS LATER HEARD A LOUD POP! ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONE OF THE PANES IN THE THREE PIECE WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE REAR DEFROST HAD NOT BEEN TURNED ON. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 32 F.

THE TRUCK WILL SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFT WHILE DRIVING. THE IS AFTER COMPLETION OF THE RECALL IN 2019. THREE TIMES THE TRUCK HAS SKIPPED GEARS ON BREAKING. ONCE WHILE BREAKING TO MAKE A TURN CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ALMOST STALL. ONCE GOING DOWN A DIRT HILL CAUSING THE BACK WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND SLIDE. DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ONCE AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO JERK SUDDENLY AND MADE THE DRIVER THINK THEY HIT SOMETHING.

THE BRAKES BECAME HARD OUT OF NOWHERE AND WOULDNT STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AT NIGHT! I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A VACUUM ISSUE OR WHAT IT IS. VERY DANGEROUS!
