TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST, MADE AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER.

THE TECHNICIAN RESET THE COMPUTER AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE STEERING GEAR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE MASTER CYLINDER IS DUMPING THE FLUID FROM THE PRIMARY RESERVOIR INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF BRAKES. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL (16S24), BUT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS A F150 PLATINUM WITH THE 3.5L ECO BOOST ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000 MILES. THE BRAKE LOSS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN A PARK.

TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR DOWNSHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC FORD IN SHELBY, NC WHERE THE RECALL PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF. LATELY I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRUCK WHERE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. HAVE TO STOP, TURN OFF IGNITION AND TRUCK WORKS FINE. TODAY WHILE DRIVING ,SPEEDOMETER STARTS GOING CRAZY AND TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS ON INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. CALLED CLASSIC FORD TO SCHEDULE SERVICE, CANNOT SEE ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK. WHEN I DESCRIBED WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ON INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT STAND STILL WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,150.

TIMMING CHAIN MAKING RATTLING SOUND ON STARTUP, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE YEARS 2011-2015 AN D YET THE FORD COMPANY REFUSES TO MAKE A RECALL. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS BETWEEN 1,900.00 AND 2,900.00 DOLLARS. THAT IS ALOT FOR THE COSUMMER TO DEAL OUT FOR SOMETHING THE FORD COMPANY SHOULD BE RESPONSIABLE FOR.TBS SERVOCE BULLENTIN 18-2305. THIS ALL HAPPENS AT START UP AND CONTINUALLY GETS WORST IF NOT FIXED.

I HAVE A 2013 F150 THAT THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON. MECHANIC DIAGNOSING IT SAYS MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR 2013-2014 F150'S BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED ON THIS RECALL...WHY? I WAS DRIVING WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS LUCKY THERE WASN'T A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD.

DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN A STEEP HILL AND BRAKES FAILED AND PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST CRASHED INTO A HOUSE. HAD TO SLAM ON EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SLAM GEARS INTO A DOWNSHIFT MODE . CAME TO A STOP AT THE YARD. THE SHOP SAID THE LINES BROKE AT THE CALIPER IN THE RUBBER LINES AND FLUID WAS ALL OVER THE UNDER CARRIAGE.

DROVE TRUCK TO WORK NO ISSUES. WENT TO LEAVE FOR THE DAY, PRESSED THE BRAKES TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR FOLLOWED BY A BRAKE FLUID LOW MESSAGE. CHECKED FLUID AND IT WAS BELOW MIN LINE. CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER AND AT EACH WHEEL. NO FLUID FOUND. CONTACTED FORD TO CHECK FOR RECALL AND THEY STATED MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THEIR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING CEASED WITH THE POWER ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000. *JS

WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY, LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON, AND WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFICACY. FORTUNATELY, THE HIGHWAY EXIT WAS SLIGHTLY UPHILL AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS GREEN WITH VEHICLES STARTING TO MOVE AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THE RIGHT TURN AT THE GREEN LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED ON THE ELGIN-O'HARE TOLLWAY (I-390) IN HANOVER PARK, ILLINOIS WHERE THE ELGIN-O'HARE (I-390) WESTBOUND MEETS LAKE STREET. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON WAS TRAVELLING WITH ME, AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD THE SITUATION WORK OUT IN OUR FAVOR. HAD WE BEEN TRAVELLING HOME INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM HOME, THE EXIT RAMP WE WOULD HAVE USED WAS DOWNHILL AND TYPICALLY ENDS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION.

BRAKES WHEN IN REVERSE OR FORWARD AT IDLE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND TAKE EXTREME PRESSURE TO OPERATE IF THEY OPERATE. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF BRAKING AND BEING UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE I AM AT IDLE. PARKING LOTS, PARKING SPACES, OR ROAD AT STOP SIGNS. THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT WANT TO DEPRESS REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I APPLY. IT IS MAINLY INTERMITTENT BUT WILL HAPPEN NEARLY EACH TIME IF YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIME IN SHORT SUCCESSION.

RE: 19N01 TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEADFRAME. THE RECALLS THAT FORD DID PROVIDE FOR MY VEHICLE ONLY INCLUDED SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT DID NOT PREVENT THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS FAILED MY TRUCK WENT FROM TRAVELLING 45 MPH IN 6TH GEAR TO SUDDENLY SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR. I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY FOR BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS IS UNACCCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE UPDATES PROVIDED DID NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND FLASHED A WRENCH SYMBOL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR CODE P0720. THE VEHICLE LURCHED COMING FROM A HUGH RATE OF SPEED TO SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR.

I HAD A BRAKE FAILURE ON 01/06/2020. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. IN THE SHORTLY AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BOTH TIMES IT ONLY OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS. I CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AFTER SEEING THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON MY YEAR OF TRUCK. THEY ADVISED MY TRUCK WASN'T COVERED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR

HAULING A FULL 2 HORSE TRAILER. APPROACHING A RED LIGHT WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP. THEY DISCOVERED A SLICE IN THE BRAKE LINE. IN ALL OF THEIR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO.

HAD RECALL DONE LAST YEAR FOR SPEED SENSOR AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFTING. STARTING JUNE 16TH 2020 THE VEHICLE STARTED HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. IT JERKS THE TRUCKS IT UP SHIFTS. SEEMS LIKE THERE WOULD BE SOME WARRANTY ON PARTS FROM A RECALL. I?M AT ABOUT 154000 MILES, SO WE WERE TOLD WE JUST MISSED THE WARRANTY. BEING THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF WARRANTY AT LEAST FOR THAT PART. *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 5 MPH.

THE CONTACT CONTACTED TROTTER FORD LINCOLN (3801 BOBO RD, PINE BLUFF, AR 71603, (870) 535-4321) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN I?M DRIVING THE CAR 60 MPH THE CAR IS DONE SHIFTING MY SERVICE KEYS, I CANNOT SEE HOW FAST I'M DRIVING I CANNOT SEE THE MILEAGE IN MY CAR AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS COME ON I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND EVERYTHING COME BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

MY TRUCK RANDOMLY SHIFTS TO A HIGHER GEAR WHEN I'M DRIVING. *TR

ADVANCE TRACK SERVICE WARNING KEEPS POPPING UP, TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AS MANY FORDS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY SHOULD ALL BE FIXED AS FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM I'M SURE. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, AT START UP OR WHILE DRIVING. NOT SURE HOW LONG ITS BEEN GOING ON, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT WAS DOING IT. *TR

BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS SOME OF THE OTHER 2013 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR, BUT FOR SOME REASON, FORD DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS MODEL. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED TOO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO STOP SAFELY AND CHECK THE FLUID. THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS CLOSE TO EMPTY. I HAD JUST HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED SO THIS WAS ODD. UPON ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AGAIN I FOUND THAT I HAD NO BRAKE POWER. *TR

STEERING COLUMN TELESCOPIC IN/OUT AND UP AND DOWN BLOWS FUSES ALL THE TIME OTHERS ON FORUMS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WHEN LOOKED UP FOR INFO. FUSE IS EITHER 23 OR 24 ON PASSENGER SIDE. FORD NEVER LISTED THIS IN OWNERS DIAGRAMS. THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IN MANY YEAR MODELS. *TR

ON JUNE 3, 2020, MY SON AND I WERE IN MY 2013 FORD F-150 DRIVING WEST ON I-94. MY SON WAS DRIVING. AN ALARM SOUNDED THEN A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I DON'T RECALL THE WORDING. WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 25 MILES FROM HOME WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES TO OUR DESTINATION. WE CONTINUED ON AND I GOT OUT AND MY SON REMAINED IN THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. HE THEN GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THERE WAS NO LIQUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK AND WE HEADED HOME ON I-696 THEN I-94 WITH NO ISSUES. THE BRAKE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT. WHEN WE EXITED I-94 AT THE MARYSVILLE, MICHIGAN EXIT WE HAD A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. NO BRAKES! MY SON STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FORCEFULLY AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND ON TO GRATIOT ROAD. HE RAN THROUGH THE STOP SIGH THERE IN MAKING THE RIGHT TURN ON TO GRATIOT ROAD BUT THANKFULLY NO TRAFFIC WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE SAME TIME. WE DROVE THE ADDITIONAL HALF MILE OR SO TO OUR HOUSE AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. WE THEN DROVE MY SON'S CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A QUART OF BRAKE FLUID AND POURED IT IN TO THE F-150. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF FLUID ON THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY UNDER THE TRUCK! WE CALLED MARYSVILLE TIRE AND AUTO, INC. AND DROVE THE TRUCK THE LESS THAN HALF MILE TO THEIR LOCATION. THEY PUT IN A NEW MASTER CYLINDER

GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGH WAY MY TRUCK IS DOWN SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR THEN LOOSES POWER THE RPM AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS GOING HAY WIRE JUMPING BACK AND FORTH. DOING 40 MPH IT DOES THE SAME THING AND DOESN'T WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE BRAIN NOW THE MPH DON'T WORK NO FUEL NOTICE IT'S BLANK. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SAFETY RECALL 19S07 ' 6R80 PERFORMED ON MY 2013 F150 SVT RAPTOR FOR THE SUDDEN DECELERATION ISSUES. THIS WEEK I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING MY TRUCKS REAR-END TO START COMING AROUND. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT SAW THE DOWNSHIFT CODES AND ATTEMPTED TO REAPPLY THE RECALL. NOW THEY TELL ME THOUGH THE ACTIONS AND NEAR ACCIDENT ARE INLINE WITH THE RECALL, THE CODE P0961 AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE SAFETY RECALL 19S07 ' 6R80 RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER THIS CODE. *TR

IN 2019 I TOOK MY FORD TRUCK INTO THE DEALER FOR 2 SEPARATE RECALLS RELATED TO THE DRIVETRAIN. IN 2020, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH DRIVETRAIN ISSUES AFTER MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND I LOST DRIVETRAIN POWER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO CROSSROADS FORD OF FUQUAY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR, [XXX] , INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE DAMAGES TO PARTS OF THE DRIVETRAIN, AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN I ASKED IF THE DAMAGES WERE A PRODUCT OF THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING RECALL NOTICE, SHE SAID YES. I CONTACTED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT AND STARTED CASE # [XXX]- TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE RECALL DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT FORD WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES. I TRIED EXPLAINING THE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE DAMAGES SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE DOWNSHIFT ISSUES AFTER BRINGING IT INTO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN 2019. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE PRESENT TIME OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE OF 150,000 MI., THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS ELIGIBLE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR IN 2019, BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE TURNED ME TO THE CROSSROADS FORD OF FUQUAY DEALERSHIP WHICH SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. THE REP SAID IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "WORKMANSHIP" ISSUES. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DROPPED MY BILL BY ~$300, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY OVER $1500 FOR REPAIRS THAT RESULTED FROM THE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES AN HOUR ON STRAIGHT ROAD AT STEADY SPEED WITHOUT WARNING THE TRUCK BEGAN TO LURCH JUMP AND LOSE POWER, REGAIN POWER AND LOSE POWER. I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS VERY ERRATIC AND I HAD A LIGHT FLASHING ON THE DASH AS WELL. THIS PATTERN REPEATED UNTIL I EVENTUALLY HAD TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE TRUCK. IT DROVE CORRECTLY THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AFTER THAT. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED NOSE DIVING AS I LIKE TO CALL IT FROM GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR TO A CLAW. SPEED CONTROLS QUIT WORKING AND TOOL LIGHT CAME ON. CODE READING: P0722, WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) AND I NEED TO CHECK INTO IT. *TR

SUNROOF FAILS TO CLOSE *DOESN'T ENGAGE IN TO FULLY SEAL/LOCKED POSITION. AND RE-OPENS. NO POSSIBLE WAY TO MANUALLY CLOSE WITHOUT REMOVING HEADLINER. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ONE RETURNING HOME AND ENGAGING CLOSE SWITCH TO SUNROOF. NOW SECURITY AND WEATHER TIGHTNESS IS COMPROMISED. *TR

UPON ACCELERATING TO PASS OR MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH. THIS LOSS OF POWER MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO SAFELY PASS OR MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. I WAS RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO ECOBOOST OWNERS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DUBBED THE "ECOBOOST SHUDDER " I HAVE CALLED 4 DEALERSHIPS ASKING IF THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM OR REPAIRS. IT SEEMS THAT FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER IT IS WELL KNOWN TO ECOBOOST OWNERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE, 65 MPH, TOWING TRAVEL TRAILER (6500 LBS). CLEAR WEATHER DAY, 72 DEGREES. BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN TRYING TO EXIT INTERSTATE TO INVESTIGATE ISSUE, EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, BOTH FRONT AND REAR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO USE TRAILER ELECTRONIC BRAKES TO STOP MY VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND NO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. NO VISIBLE EXPLANATION FOR TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE.

I TOOK MY 2013 F150 WITH AN OPEN RECALL TO FORD DEALER AND WAS RUNNING FINE BEFORE THEY REPROGRAM THE POWER CONTROL MODULE I STARTING HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING SPEEDOMETER GOING OF AIR BAG LIGHT ON AND ALSO A BIG WRENCH CAME OUT ON THE DISPLAY WHEN I STOP IT ONLY STAR DRIVE IN ON 3RD GEAR TO 5 GEAR THE OTHER GEARS DON'T WORK UNTIL I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON BUT I STAR DRIVING AGAIN AND DOES IT AGAIN SAME THING

IN NOVEMBER 2019, MY VEHICLE STARTED SHIFTING INAPPROPRIATELY AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A RECALL ISSUE. THE RECALL WAS FOR A LEAD FRAME AND A REPROGRAMMING IN THE PCM. THIS REPAIR WAS DONE FOR THE TWO RECALL ISSUES. MY VEHICLE RECENTLY BEGAN DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, SHIFTING UP AND DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MAIN ROAD IN MY TOWN. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY IN FORMED ME OF A DIFFERENT PCM REPROGRAMMING AVAILABLE FOR THAT RECALL. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS SENDING A DIFFERENT CODE WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING I WILL NEED A REPLACEMENT OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT, EXITING THE HIGHWAY, SLOWED DOWN, SUDDENLY HAD NO STEERING CONTROL OND THE DASH LIT UP WITH "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". I BARELY AVOIDED AN UPCOMING VEHICLE AS I ATTEMPTED TO MERGE AND AVOID HITTING A CONCRETE WALL. I MANAGED TO MANHANDLE THE TRUCK TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. STOPPED. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. RESTARTED. PROBLEM GONE. SECOND INCIDENT: 4 DAYS LATER. TURNED INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT, WAS MANEUVERING AROUND SOME PARKED VEHICLES AND SUDDENLY SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS AND I ALMOST WRECKED AGAIN. I SHIFT THE ENGINE OFF AND THIS TIME WHEN I STARTED IT, IT SAYS SERVICE POWER STEERING SYSTEM NOW. I MANAGED TO PARK IT SOMEWHAT IN A SPOT AND IT IS STILL SITTING THERE AT WALMART (MY WORK) BEHIND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. I DID CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD IF I WANTED TO DRIVE IT IN AND PAY 108 DOLLARS THAT THEY WOULD HOOK IT UP AND DIAGNOSE IT, BUT I JUST CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THAT RIGHT NOW. I HAVE READ ONLINE ABOUT RECALLS WITH THE 2014 MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON. AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINES. SEEMS LIKE THE 2013 SHOULD BE AS WELL. I AM SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I WAS IN DANGER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. NO CONTROL OF STEERING. EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. *TR

OIL AND RADIATOR FLUID LEAKS CAUSING ENGINE SMOKING AND NAUSEATING ODOR WHEN HEATER TURNED ON WHILE ENGINE COLD OR COLD EXTERIOR TEMPS. COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE AND DRIVE POWER RANDOMLY LASTING 15-60SECS, THEN ALL NUMBERS IE: GAS MILAGE, SPEED, MILEAGE BECOME DASHES, SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREET. PULLING OVER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTART WILL RESET UNTIL NEXT RANDOM EPISODE. ROUGH JERKS AND OCCASIONALLY A BANG WITH JERKS (FEEL LIKE IT COMES FROM THE AXELS) USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. MORE OFTEN IN PARKING LOTS BUT IN TRAFFIC JAMS ON HIGHWAYS. ONCE TRANSMISSION RECALL COMPLETE IT RAN FANTASTIC FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. NOW IT'S WORSE THAN EVER AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A DAY AND THEN GOES OFF.

I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL THIS IS WHAT THEY DID: PERFORMED RECALL 19S07 PERFORMED PCM UPDATE LATER CALIBRATION AND CLEARED DTCS. THE TRUCK IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS TO TURN ON BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNS ON. WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP IT DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST. SO DOES THE ENGINE LIGHT HAVE TO TURN ON BEFORE THEY CAN CHECK IT? WHEN IT HAPPENS I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK WAIT A BIT AND RESTART AND IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE.

DEFROST BLOWER MOTOR NOT WORKING, CAN'T KEEP WINDOWS CLEAR FOR DRIVING SAFELY. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TAKES POWER AWAY FROM NON ESSENTIAL SYSTEMS AND REDIRECTS FOR CRITICAL SYSTEMS IF THE BATTERY IS LOW OR ALTERNATOR IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, BUT THERE IS NO INDICATION OF WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE.

LEAD FRAME WIRING HARNESS IN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, CAUSING NO SIGNAL TO SPEEDOMETER AND ERATIC SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION. HAD TRUCK IN DEALERSHIP 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO LEAD FRAME FAILURE, WITH TRANSMISSION COMPLAINT AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE . THE MILEAGE WAS UNDER 150K AT THAT TIME OF THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT
