2013 Ford F-150 complaints

THIS IS RELATED TO TSB 15-0137. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE HAS NOT FAILED YET, MANY HAVE. MY FUSE #27 SHOWS SIGNS OF MELTING AND I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH A LARGER FUSE AND HEAVIER GAUGE WIRE AT A COST OF ABOUT $150 (INCLUDING LABOR). IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS TRUCK WITH HORSES IN TOW. ON SEVERAL FORUMS I HAVE READ THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO FAILURE OF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, WHICH IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH A 120 POUND 20 YEAR OLD AT THE HELM WITH A HORSE TRAILER! THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN FORD DEFECT THAT CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE, AND FORD SHOULD BE PAYING THIS COST SO THAT THERE IS NO FINANCIAL IMPEDIMENT TO SAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN ITS PLANNED USEFUL LIFE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED. MY MOMENTUM VIOLENTLY JERKED ME FORWARD, THE TIRES SQUEELED, AND THE RPM GAUGE WENT UP TO OVER 6,000. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT IT OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I WILL BE STARTING FROM A STOP AND I'LL BE GOING ABOUT 10-15MPH AND IF I DON'T LET OFF THE THROTTLE THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV UP PAST 4000 RPMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DOWNSHIFT TO AN EVENTUAL ROLLING STOP. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUMPED THE BRAKES PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL EVENTUALLY STARTED TO LOOSEN UP AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. BENNA FORD SUPERIOR (3022 TOWER AVE, SUPERIOR, WI 54880, (715) 394-8669) STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SAME DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT CHECKED WITH AN INDEDENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,600.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH A CAR PULL OVER INTO LANE IN FRONT OF ME? I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK, LUCKILY I STEERED TO THE AIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND DOWN SHIFTED TILL THE TRUCK CAME TO A ROLLING STOP, THE BRAKE AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON AND THE BRAKES WERE STILL AS HARD AS A ROCK , I TRIED SHUTTING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING, AND STILL THE SAME RESULT, I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AFTER AWHILE AND KEPT MESSING WITH IT PUSHING AS HARD AS COULD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF BRAKES , AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES THEY STARTED WORKING AGAIN, NOW I'M AFRAID WAITING WONDERING IF IT'S NOT GONNA WORK AGAIN, IT'S DANGEROUS, IT'S MY MAIN VEHICLE AND MOST OF MY FAMILY RANDOMLY USES IT. I'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK.

EXTREMELY HARD BRAKE PEDAL, VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP EASILY IN NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS, IF PEDAL IS PUMPED REPEATEDLY RED BRAKE LIGHT AND CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING APPEAR. IF KEY IS CYCLED ON THEN OFF WARNINGS GO AWAY BUT BRAKE PEDAL FEELS THE SAME. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND VACUUM PUMP (NON ELECTRIC) LEAKING OIL. I REPLACED IT AND THE SAME ISSUES STILL HAPPEN. I'VE FOUND 2 RECALLS THAT DON'T APPLY TO MY TRUCK. ONE RECALL STATES THE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL IS LEAKING WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE TO FLOOR. THE OTHER IS A STIFF PEDAL BUT THAT ONE WAS FOR AN ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. PLEASE HELP BEFORE FORD KILLS ME. ALSO. I ASKED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (BELL FORD) FOR TSBS REGARDING THIS AND WAS DENIED THE INFORMATION. THIS SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A SAFETY RECALL THAT NEVER EVER EXPIRES!!!!!!!!!

EPAS (ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIT STERRING) SENSOR FAILED, ELECTRONIC STEERING FAILS AND ACTS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING CAUSING VERY DIIFFICULT MANUVERING. THS COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. SEVERAL ON-LINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. WHEN STARTING TO TAKE OFF IN LOW SPEEDS, 20-30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL THEN INTO FIRST SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN RAPIDLY. ALSO, WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE WILL DROP TO 5TH GEAR AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP TO 0, THE ODOMETER AND ALL DISPLAY PANEL SHOWS NOTHING, THE CRUISE WILL NOT WORK, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.

PARKED CAR AND OPENED DOOR TO GET WHEN I HEARD A LOAD POP AND REALIZED THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. IT WAS PARKED IN A EMPTY PARKING LOT WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF EXTERNAL IMPACT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND THEN TO LUTHER FAMILY FORD (LOCATED AT 3302 36TH ST S, FARGO, ND 58104, (701) 282-2350) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT UNKNOWN ENGINE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2019. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,073.

WRENCH (CHECK ENGINE) COMES ON FOR UNKNOWN REASON AND VEHICLE LOOSES ALL THROTTLE ABILITY! HAS COME ON 7 TIMES. HAS OCCURRED DRIVING AT 25 UP TO 65 MPH. TODAY I WAS IN THE FAST LANE WRENCH CAME ON AND SHUT DOWN THROTTLE. I MANAGED TO CROSS 3 LANES IN TRAFFIC. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED I'VE STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE RESTARTED & RUNS FINE. TAKEN TO FORD AS WELL AS PRIVATE MECHANICS BUT NO CODES SAVED. HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES. FORD TOLD ME THEY CANT FIX WITHOUT A CODE.

I REGULARLY HAVE MY TRUCK SERVICED . . TODAY MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING. IT SENT A MESSAGE TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. IT WAS TOWED TO MY HOME. IT WILL NOT LET ME SHIFT TO DRIVE WITH AN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION. IT DID ALMOST THE SAME THING WHEN IT WAS RECALLED. I HAVE ALWAYS PAUD MY PAYMENTS ON TIME ... HAD IT SERVUCED ACCORDINGLY. MT TRUCK HAS GIVEN ME MORE PROBLEMS THAN I DESERVE. WE WERE ON TGE MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED THANK GOD NO ONE WAS COMING BEHIND ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT...HELP [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

ONE COLD MORNING I REMOTE STARTED MY VEHICLE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER LEAVING THE HOUSE I NOTICED THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW WITH SLIDER WAS SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE OR SOMETHING THAT MADE AN IMPACT. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THIS ISSUE ON FORD FORUMS.

ON OCTOBER 11, 2019 @ APPROXIMATELY 4::15PM I PARKED MY VEHICLE AT A LOCAL STORE TO SHOP. I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND UPON ACTIVATING THE REMOTE DOOR LOCK, I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING STRUCK MY VEHICLE. I PERFORMED A BRIEF INSPECTION OF THE EXTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE BUT FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANYTHING. UPON MY RETURN DRIVE HOME WHEN CHECKING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR, I THEN NOTICED THAT THE REAR GLASS WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS SHATTERED. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT MY HOME, I INSPECTED BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE BROKEN GLASS AND COULD NOT FIND ANY INDICATION THAT THE GLASS WAS IMPACTED BY A FOREIGN OBJECT NOR DID I FIND ANY POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE BREAKAGE.

TRUCK BEING DRIVEN APX 55 MPH AND NO CHANGE FROM ME TRUCK HAS SUDDEN SLOWDOWN WITH SPEEDOMETER DROP TO 40S THEN RECOVERS AS TRUCK SPEEDS UP ON IT'S OWN. SAME DAY AS TRYING TO PARK, IN DRIVE, PRESSING ON GAS ENGINE REVS BUT DOES NOT MOVE. TODAY (7 DAYS LATER) ACCELERATING FROM STOP TRANSMISSION STICKS IN LOW GEAR. HAS HAD POWERTRAIN RECALL APPLIED.

I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD CRANK B UT NOT START. I FOUND THAT A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK IS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. I LOCATED THIS FUSE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS IN FACT BLOWN, AND MELTED IN HALF. FORD HAS CREATED A REPAIR FOR THIS, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY FORD FOR THE CUSTOMERS AT NO CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES SEIZED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHERE THE PISTON, ROTORS, BRAKE LINE, BRAKE PADS, AND BRAKE FLUID WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG COUNTRY FORD LINCOLN (500 W COMMERCE ST, BROWNWOOD, TX 76801, (325) 643-1651), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

MY TRUCK HAS A 5.0 MOTOR BUT IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THIS RECALL THAT ONLY AFFECTS TRUCKS WITH A 3.5 MOTOR. I HAVE TO REFILL THE RESERVOIR ABOUT ONCE A MONTH WHETHER I AM DRIVING IT OR NOT. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 MANUFACTURER FORD MOTOR COMPANY COMPONENTS SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED 225,012 SUMMARY FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013-2014 F-150 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AUGUST 1, 2013, TO AUGUST 31, 2014 EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L ENGINES. THE MASTER CYLINDER REAR CUP SEAL MAY ROLL, RESULTING IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE FROM THE PRIMARY RESERVOIR INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

INSULATION COMING OUT OF TAIL PIPE

THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER KEEPS GOING OUT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE UNIT HAS FAILED ON A 2013 TRUCK. THE UNIT ALSO CONTROLS THE HEATED MIRRORS. THE FIX IS TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW WITH THE DEFROST UNIT.

VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR SOMETIMES AND WONT SHIFT, SEVERAL TIMES VEHICLE HAS SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN,ALSO VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND GETS STUCK IN THIRD GEAR, DASH QUITS SPEEDO, TACH, INFO CENTER ON DASH QUITS WORKING AS WELL AS ODOMETER. HAVE TO KEY OFF TO RE-SET. THIS HAS HAPPEN MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS AND OCCASIONALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

I JUST HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME ON MY 2013 F150 . SAME SCENARIO AS EVERYONE ELSE. WINDOWS WERE FROSTED AND TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER WHILE WARMING THE TRUCK UP. NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THAT THE REAR WINDOWS NEVER DEFROSTED AND THE LIGHT ON THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON WOULD NO LONGER LIGHT UP. AFTER THE WINDOWS THAWED FROM THE CAB HEAT, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THREE PIECE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND ONLY HELD TOGETHER BY THE WINDOW TINT.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE AT 35-40 MPH ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. RPM'S WENT VERY HIGH, I QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH FOR THE TRUCK TO SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 19S19 SAFETY RECALL TO GREEN FORD IN GREENSBORO NC. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS DOWNSHIFT HAPPENED.

WHILE DOING 50 MPH, SPEEDOMETER WENT TO '0', ALL DIGITAL DISPLAY ITEMS WENT TO '0' FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND A LARGE WRENCH LOOKING DISPLAY SHOWED. STAYED ON FOR A SHORT TIME. SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL ECONOMY DISPLAY DID NOT WORK FOR REST OF DRIVEN THEN RETURNED TO WORKING FOR NEXT DRIVING USE.

FRONT BRAKE ASSEMBLY ENGAGED AND DID NOT FULLY RELEASE CAUSING THE PAD AND CALIPER TO EVENTUALLY GRIND THRU TO METAL DESTROYING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. HAD TO HAVE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND TECH STATED IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE.

TURNED ON DEFROST AND REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE AT IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE NOT MOVING.. A VISIBLE BURN MARK ON GLASS FROM DEFROST GRID..

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY OUR 2013 FORD F150 STARTS CLUNKING NOISE AND HARD JERKING MAKING THE NOSE OF THE TRUCK WILL PULL DOWN REALLY HARD WHEN IT DOES THIS. WE ARE DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED ALMOST CAUSING US TO CRASH. SUDDENLY AFTER THIS OCCURED THE FORD F150 STARTS ACTING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WITH ONLY 64,000 MILES ON IT . TEMPURATURE STARTED GOING UP SO WE PULLED OVER AND CALLED A FRIEND TO COME TOW US HOME. WE GOT HOME AND THE TRUCK WONT REVERSE OFF THE TRAILOR. WE FINALLY GET IT OFF THE TRAILOR AND TAKE IT TO THE FORD BUISNESS IN MY TOWN ON THE WAY THERE IT ACTS LIKE ITS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. WE GET IT BACK FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL UHS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN REVERSE. THAT WHEN THEY START FHE TRUCK IT WANTS TO TAKE OFF LIKE ITS STUCK IN GEAR EVEN IN REVERSE AND THEN TELL US THAT WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS RECENTLY PUT IN MIND YOU IT RAN FINE BEFORE THE LOUD NOISE AND SUDDEN CHANGING OF GEARS AT 65 MPH.. SO WHY SHOULDNT FORD HAVE TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. PRIOR TO THE FAILURES, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO APPLE FORD (8800 STANFORD BLVD, COLUMBIA, MD 21045, (410) 290-1100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V433000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER ABOUT THE FAILURES AND WAS GIVEN AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN INSPECTION. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.

LEFT SIDE OF POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NO OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, AND NO IMPACT POINT APPARENT ON GLASS. CO-WORKER WITH 2014 F150 WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON THE SAME DAY AND EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED

MY 2013 F-150 WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT WHILE I AM DOING 25-35 MPH. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT UPSHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR. IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS OR SEVERAL MINUTES FOR IT TO SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. WHEN IT DOES UPSHIFT AGAIN IT WILL SLAM INTO THE HIGHER GEAR. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, THE AIRBAG ICON COMES ON, THE ENGINE ICON COMES ON, A WRENCH ICON COMES ON, SOMETIMES THE DISPLAY IS A SERIES OF DASHES AND SOMETIMES THE DISPLAY IS BLANK. IF I STOP AND RESTART THE ENGINE SOMETIMES THE SYMPTOMS GO AWAY AND SOMETIMES THE ICONS REMAIN VISIBLE.

FUSE #27 BURNT UP AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BECAUSE THAT FUSE CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. THIS ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED IN TSB 15-0137. INCREDIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING THIS SIMPLE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR DRIVER SAFETY. VEHICLE LUCKILY WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS MOST LIKELY WOULD NOT BE AN ITEM LOCATED IN A VIHICLE INCIDENT....SO THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY DEATHS THIS HAS CAUSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE AUTO DEFROST ENGAGED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THAT SHE USED AUTO DEFROST TO WARM UP THE CAR PRIOR TO DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 31 DEGREES THAT MORNING. THE WINDOW WAS REPLACED. *DL

CONTINUED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT EVEN AFTER BRIEF REPAIR PERIOD. LIGHT REMAINS ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER START UP.

THE END OF LAST MAY, PULLING OUR CAMPER UP THE RATON PASS, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND A FOGGY SLEET STORM THE MIL ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE DIED AND WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OUR WAY BACK TO THE SHOULDER, AFTER JUST HAVING MERGED INTO THE LEFT LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND IT DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES ALONG THE WAY SO WE TOOK IT TO XIT FORD IN DALHART TX. THE TECH THERE FOUND A BUNCH OF CODES STORED IN THE PCM, CLEARED THEM AND SENT US ON OUR WAY AND THE DRIVE BACK TO DALLAS WAS UNEVENTFUL. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE WIFE WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DIED ON HER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SO I TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD, SINCE THEY HAD DONE A PCM RECALL RE-FLASH (19V-075) ON IT PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR OUR TRIP. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN EVEN NEWER RE-FLASH AND THE PREFORMED THAT AND IT SEEMED TO SETTLE DOWN. WITH THE RECENT COLD SNAP WE HAVE HAD, THE TRUCK HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT A "A CRANK NO-START" SYMPTOM AND WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS "TSB 15-0137" WHICH FITS ALL OF OUR SYMPTOMS TO A TEE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... HAVING YOUR TRUCK DIE ON YOU, WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, UP AN ALMOST 8000 FOOT PASS, IN A STORM... IT IS A WONDER WE WERE NOT KILLED! THE TSB WAS PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 AND COVERS F150 MODEL YEARS 2009 - 2014. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND THE CURE WITHOUT THEM. THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE F

I HAVE A F150 4-WHEEL ECO BOOST V6. I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND AT THAT TIME DECIDED TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE FOR THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE NEXT FEW DAYS I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME HESITATION WITH THE GEARS SHIFTING AND THE TRANSMISSION AT TIMES WOULD DROP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO BRING MY TRUCK BACK IN AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. SOME DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE FEEDER ROAD GETTING READY TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AS SOON AS I ENTERED MY SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING AND THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST COLLIDED WITH MY TRUCK. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT MY TRUCK BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A QUICK DIAGNOSIS. THEY STATED THAT I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THAT I NEEDED TO LOOK INTO GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE THROUGH THEM AND TRADING MY TRUCK OUT. I WAS UPSET BY THE RESPONSE SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE TRUCK. THE FINDINGS WERE THAT THE OSS SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND IT PULL UP A P0270 CODE. THE SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A WARRANTY AND SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT I IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHEN I RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY AT THAT TIME ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND COULD BE FIX, BUT THEY COULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT FOR 2-WEEKS AND WOULD NOT EVEN PROVIDE A LOANER AFTER STATING

UPON EXCELLARATION AND WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHER SPEED'S MY VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AUTOMATICALLY FROM 6TH GEAR TO THIRD GEAR CAUSING MY REAR WHEELS TO LOCK. I RECEIVE A WRENCH SIGN ON THE DISPLAY THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, THE DRIVERS AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE STAYS IN THIS GEAR UNTIL I STOP AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON. ALSO AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING A CONSTANT SPEED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 4TH GEAR, TO 5TH GEAR AND BACK TO 6TH ALL WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED.

VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH TO 1ST AT HIGH SPEEDS 60+MPH , SEMI-VIOLENT DOWN-SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 1ST AND MID 25-45PMG, TRANSMISSION REMAINING IN 3RD GEAR INDEPENDENT OF SPEEDS. THIS IS ALL AFTER HAVING COMPLETED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. AN IMPORTANT NOTE IS THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE UNTIL THEY DID THE SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LITHIA SPRINGS FORD (870 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, (770) 941-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,100.

POWER STEERING IS STARTING TO FAIL. THE SYMPTOMS ARE DIFFICULTY IN TURNING, WHEELS NOT RETURNING TO CENTER AFTER A TURN, COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT THE EPAS SYSTEM IS MARRIED TO THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY SO THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF JUST THE EPAS. ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND PARTS BREAK BUT BUT HAVING TO REPLACE A MAJOR PART OF THE STEERING PACKAGE IS VERY POOR DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A DOWN HILL DRIVEWAY, IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, BUT THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE FORCEFULLY. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 50 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUING TO DRIVE WITH NO FAILURE. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS COVERED IN OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROD BAKER FORD SALES INC. (LOCATED AT 16101 S LINCOLN HWY, PLAINFIELD, IL 60586, (815) 436-5681), BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,219.

WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING SEIZED UP MAKING THE VEHICLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS: "SERVICE ADVANCED TRACK, POWER STEERING, HILL DESCENT ASSIST". DEALER REPORTS THAT EPAS SYSTEM HAS GONE BAD/FAILED. I'VE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE STEERING/ELECTRIC ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS TRUCK IS IN IMMACULATE SHAPE AND HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT. STEERING SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. PLEASE GET A RECALL GOING ON THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES I ALSO HAD A WHEEL STUD/BOLT SHEER OFF TWO WEEKS BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT AT 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED TO THE LEFT. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE JUMPED THE CURB, DROVE ON TOP OF A PYLON, AND ALMOST TURNED COMPLETELY OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE DEALER QUOTED THE REPAIR COST RANGING FROM $2,500 TO $3,000. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

IN JULY OF 2019, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT GLOFF FORD (1206 N AVE G, CLIFTON, TX) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V433000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED; HOWEVER, THEY DETERMINED THAT A SIMPLE TUNE-UP WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

2013 FORD F150 RAPTOR. BEEN READING ABOUT SEVERAL 2011 TO 2016 ABOUT THE REAR BACK GLASS DEFROST NOT WORKING DUE TO BACD CONTACTS ON THE WINDOW OR EVEN SHADERS FOR NO REASON. I THINK FORD SHOULD REPLACE THIS IF IT FAILS. WITH THE BACK DEFROST NOT WORKING ALSO MAKES THE SIDE HEATED MIRRORS NOT WORK DUE TO THEN BEING ON THE SAME CIRCUIT.

THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME RUSTING ALONG THE REAR WHEEL WELLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. AFTER RAISING THE HOOD AND LOOKING IN THE FUSE PANEL UNDER THE HOOD, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE SHOWED SIGNS OF MELTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD SQUARE OF MT.

AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTING OF MY TRANSMISSION, I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW PROGRAMMING FIX WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE ACTIVE RECALL. THE "FIX" WAS COMPLETED, AND NOW ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO DOWNSHIFT SUDDENLY. NOT ONLY SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING, BUT DURING ACCELERATION THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STRUGGLE SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 57K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MASTER CYLINDER - BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED - MY TRUCK MAKE/MODEL/YEAR/ENGINE SHOWS RECALLS EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS, HOWEVER, MY VIN# ISN'T LISTED FOR THIS AND I NEED TO GET MY REPLACED ASAP AS MY BRAKES FAILED DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

STARTED VEHICLE WITH REMOTE STARTER. REAR GLASS BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT SHATTERED. REAR GLASS ASSEMBLY HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE IN F150'S BUILT FROM 2010 TO 2014.

WAS DRIVING 2013 FORD F150 FX4 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND CAUSED TRUCK TO REV RPM'S AND RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY TO DECREASE SPEED DUE TO SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET. AFTER THE SPEED DECREASE, UNABLE TO GET CAR INTO HIGHER GEAR AND DROVE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS TO EXIT ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON AND IT NOT HELP. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, CAR WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SEVERAL MORE TIMES DRIVING TO MECHANIC. ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE THE DAY BEFORE, BUT DID NOT REALIZE THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR. TOOK TRUCK TO MECHANIC AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS FOR $100 FEE AND WAS TOLD ME TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR A KNOWN ISSUE. AT THE DEALERSHIP, A "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED, BUT THE FIX CAUSED ANOTHER ISSUE AND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING STARTED, THE WHOLE DASH VIBRATES AND MAKE LOUD NOISES. DEALERSHIP STILL HAS TRUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ISSUE OF LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING ON AC. DID NOT HAVE ISSUE WITH VIBRATING UNTIL THE "FIX" WAS ISSUED. NOR DID THE MECHANIC NOTICE THE ISSUE WITH THE AC WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BEFORE TAKING TO DEALERSHIP.
