2013 Ford F-150 complaints

RECEIVES A COUPLE NOTICES FROM FORD/AUTONATION STATING TO SCHEDULE MY TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. I DID SO AND THEN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX AS OF YET. SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW JUST WAIT FOR TRUCK TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR PARK BY ITSELF? WHY EVEN SEND ME THESE NOTICES IF THEY CANNOT FIX THEM AND WASTE MY TIME BY SCHEDULING WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A SOFTWARE YET TO FIX IT? WILL I BE NOTIFIED AGAIN TO GET THIS FIX? AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL EVERY DAY TO SEE IF THE SOFTWARE IS IN? DO THEY PROVIDE ME A LOANER TRUCK IN THE MEANTIME UNTIL THEY GET THE SOFTWARE? WHAT IS A CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO DO, JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL HOPEFULLY THEY GET THE SOFTWARE AND OR HAVE A WRECK.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING RESULTING IN ALMOST WRECKING INTO A GULLEY AT A SPEED OF 65MPH

TRAVELING HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60 MPH WHEN TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO LOWER GEAR CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO JUMP UNTIL TRUCK COULD BE STOPPED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. AFTER BRIEF PERIOD, STARTED TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWHILE NORMALLY. TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF AGAIN. LET STAND FOR AWHILE, THEN STARTED VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE "THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AS POSSIBLE CAUSE". MY TRUCK HAD JUST RECENTLY GONE OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD PER DEALERSHIP, AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE THIS FIX (APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO) HOWEVER I AM TAKING IT IN FOR RECALL TO UPDATE SOFTWARE SPECIFICALLY FOR FAILURE OF OSS. MY TRUCK IS A 2013 F150 4X4 CREW CAB WITH ECHO BOOST 3.5L ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON, REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED

NHTSA RECALL 19V-075. RECALL CAUSED FAILURE IN TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST PRIOR TO RECALL UPDATE. SUPPLEMENT #1 ISSUED 5/15/2019 INDICATED MY 5-LITER ENGINE WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UPGRADED WITH RECALL 19SO7. EACH TIME I USE MY TRUCK TOW /HAUL AND BRAKE ON A GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO SECOND GEAR AND WILL NOT EXIT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE TOW/HAUL FUNCTION. DEALER MARSHALL FORD O'FALLON MO, TELLS ME DON'T USE FUNCTION. I FIND THIS MOST INCONVENIENT, CONSIDERING I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FIVE YEARS TOWING MY BOAT WITHOUT A PRIOR INCIDENT. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. I AM GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM FORD CORPORATE OR DEALER SINCE FIRST COMMUNIQUE. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED ME A CASE #2170, BUT THAT IS ALL. MY FEAR AT THIS POINT I WILL DAMAGE THIS TRANSMISSION AND BE LEFT WITH THE REPAIRS.

AFTER THE LAST RECALL FOR THE PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANS WHERE IT COULD DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR AT ANY SPEED THE TRANS SHIFTS REALLY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR FROM FIRST GEAR I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE TO RELEARN IT'S SELF FROM THE LAST RECAP BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND SOMETIMES IT'S A PRETTY HARD SHIFT AND I RECENTLY HAD THE TRANS FULLY SERVICED SO I KNOW IT'S NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE

MY 2013 FORD UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS TRAVELING 40-45 MPH. NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. THIS ALSO HAPPENED LAST YEA, I WAS UNAWARE OF A RECALL OR ISSUE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, THE CURRENT RECALL DOESN'T COVER TRANSMISSION SERVICE OR INSPECTION IF YOU EXPERIENCES THIS DOWNSHIFT. UNTIL THE RECALL SOFTWARE IS RESOLVED I WILL NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY OR HIGH SPEEDS AS I'M WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN, THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED, AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE RIGHT INTO A DITCH AND THEN VEERED BACK ONTO THE ROAD TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO CRASH OR DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. POAGE FORD (1110 US-61 BUS, BOWLING GREEN, MO 63334) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,423. *AS CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE DOWNSHIFT IT SEEMED AS IF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER ALSO FAILED. CAR WAS TRADED IN.*JB

I RECEIVED MY FORD RECALL NOTICE ON THE NEED TO REPROGRAM POWER TRAIN MODULE ON OR ABOUT APRIL 1ST 2019. MY FIRST INSTANCE OF MY 2013 F150 STX SUPERCAB, GOING INTO SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT MODE AND THEN LIMP MODE (BLUE WRENCH SIGNAL) OCCURRED AROUND APRIL 12, 2019. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED BY ITSELF AND THE BLUE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. MY TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. AFTER PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN THE ISSUE RESOLVED ITSELF. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP ON APRIL 18, 2019 WHERE RECALL 19S07 6R80 (REPROGRAM POWER TRAIN MODULE) WORK WAS COMPLETED. ON MAY 17, 2019, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET (WITHOUT NOTICE OR CAUSE) MY TRUCK AGAIN WENT INTO DOWNSHIFT MODE, LIMP MODE AND THE BLUE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. SAME AS THE FIRST INSTANCE, I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET, TURNED OFF MY TRUCK, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE TRUCK AGAIN THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. IT WAS CLEAR THAT THIS ISSUE WAS ELECTRICAL AND NO MECHANICAL AND THE ORIGINAL RECALL WORK COMPLETED BY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ON 05/19/2019, I AGAIN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS TIME THE MODULE LEAD FRAME WAS REPLACED AFTER CODE P0722 WAS IDENTIFIED. I WANT THE RECORD TO REFLECT THAT THE FIRST RECALL, REPROGRAMMING OF THE POWER TRAIN MODULE DID NOT WORK, AND LEFT ME AT RISK OF A SECO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER SHATTERED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE GLASS. THE CONTACT CALLED GERMAIN FORD OF COLUMBUS (LOCATED AT 7250 SAWMILL RD, COLUMBUS, OH 43235, (614) 356-9743) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

ALL OF THE SUDDEN STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN. IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. AND WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DOING. SAME THING THE 2014S WERE RECALLED FOR.

VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE I WAS GOING 60MPH. RECALL WAS ISSUED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19N01 AND DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS A HOLD ON FIXING THE 2013. I ASKED IF I PAID FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET IF THEY WOULD FIX IT AND WAS TOLD THAT NO THAT CAN'T UNTIL HOLD IS LIFTED SOMETIME IN 2ND QUARTER. I HAVE THREE KIDS THAT ARE WITH ME A LOT AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME. WAS I GIVEN THE CORRECT INFO ON A HOLD FOR THIS REPAIR?

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT DOWNSHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE." THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE HAD IT TOWED AND THEN DISCOVERED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BREAKDOWNS OF VARYING DEGREES. THE LAST DOWN SHIFT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE BACK TIRES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HAS DECLARED THE TRUCK UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THEY CAN NOT FIX IT YET AND THAT THE DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

I WAS LEAVING PNC ART CENTER AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND STARTED TO DRIVE AND QUICKLY NOTICED I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES. I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SO AS NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

I HAVE OPEN RECALL WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. ONE DEALER DID REPAIR WHEN THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE!!! ANOTHER DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ABOUT NO REMEDY AND NO WAY TO FIX IT. NOW FORD GIVING ME HARD TIME WITH BUYBACK BECAUSE IF THAT 'REPAIR' BY THEIR DEALERSHIP. I ATTACH INFO

MY REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROST STOPPED WORKING AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I DROVE THE TRUCK ON A COUNTY ROAD (55 MPH) ABOUT 5 MILES( 10 MINUTES) AND I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST AGAINST THE GLASS. A FEW SECONDS LATER I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WINDOW PANE SHATTERED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I PULLED THE RELAY FUSE FOR THE WINDOW DEFROST. THE GLASS STAYED INTACT EXCEPT FOR A FEW SHARDS OF GLASS THAT I FOUND ON THE SEAT.

MY TRUCK FAILED TO START, AND WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE I FOUND FUSE 27 (LOCATED IN THE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX AT THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE BAY) MELTED CAUSING CIRCUIT FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO OPEN WHICH LEFT THE TRUCK WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING FUEL SYSTEM (FUSE 27 IS PART OF THE CIRCUIT FOR THE FUEL PUMP). REPLACING THE DAMAGED FUSE RESOLVED THE ISSUE WHILE A MORE ROBUST SOLUTION IS DETERMINED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED DURING OPERATION THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE LOST POWER, BEEN UNABLE TO STEER DUE TO AN ELECTRIC ASSISTED STEERING SYSTEM AND BECOME A HAZARD FOR OTHER VEHICLES WHILE PUTTING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE TRUCK, AND ANY VEHICLE THAT COLLIDES WITH IT, AT RISK FOR INJURY OR DEATH. FORD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 15-0137), BUT THIS IS NOT COMMONLY KNOWN OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE-SPECIFIC SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ON THE INTERNET (HTTPS://WWW.FORD-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/1449733-TSB-15-0137-FUEL-PUMP-FUSE.HTML). FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE CONSEQUENCES ARE OBVIOUS. THE FIX FORD RECOMMENDS IS INEXPENSIVE (UNDER $30 IN PARTS) AND NOT VERY TIME CONSUMING (0.6 FLAG HOURS).

THE TRANSMISSION WILL GET STUCK IN 3RD AND 5TH. SOMETIMES, IT WILL GO TO FIRST AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THERE SOFTWARE PATCH. BOTH TIMES IT DIDN'T WORK. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY TRUCK. I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT IN TODAY. FORD SENT AN EMAIL LAST WEEK TO SERVICE DEPT. THAT UPDATE DOES NOT WORK ON SOME 2013 TRUCKS... NO KIDDING! WAITING FOR AN UPDATE TO COME THROUGH FORD!!! FORD SHOULD PROVIDE.LOANERS B/C THIS CAR IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT GERVAIS FORD (LOCATED AT 5 LITTLETON RD, AYER, MA 01432, (978) 772-6600) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TRUCK NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TO FIX A RECALL PROBLEM. AFTER RECALL FIX THE NEXT WEEK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60+MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS IN TO A LOW GEAR AND CAR ALMOST CO.ES TO A DEAD STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER AND STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND CAR WORKED FI E FOR A TRIP. THEN THE NEXT TRIP ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED A WRENCH POP UP ON THE DISPLAY AND MY SPEEDOMETER MOVING UP AND DOWN. EVENTUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WENT STRAIGHT TO ZERO, BUT STILL ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE AFTER PLACING TRUCK IN (FAKE STANDARD MODE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I PARKED CAR. TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND SPEEDOMETER WORKED AGAIN. CALL LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND DROVE CAR TO SHOP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS THEY'RE TELLING ME NOTHING THEY DID ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. YET I NEVER HAD IT HAPPEN BEFORE AND THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS THAT REPLACED MORE THAN JUST SOFTWARE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CLAIMS OF ONLY CAUSING 5 ACCIDENTS WITH NO INJURIES. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE CAUSE OF 1000S OF ACCIDENTS AND ALSO DEATHS. BUT PEOPLE PROBABLY ARE NOT REALIZING WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHEN A ACCIDENT ACURRS. AFTER RESEARCH IT LOOKS 5O BE POSSIBLE LEAD FRAME OR SPEED SENSOR. IDK BUT MY FAMILY WILL PARK THIS TRUCK AND NEVER DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL FIXED AGAIN THE RECALL FIX CAUSED THE PROBLEM, DIFFERENTL

PER RECALL NOTICE 19S07, PREVIOUSLY 19N01, TRANSMISSION MAY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR WHILE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES OF PROBLEMS WITH AND TODAY 05/15/19 TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND LOCKED UP REAR WHEELS. IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH WITH POSSIBLE INJURIES. FORD STATED THEY DID NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FIX ALTHOUGH PROBLEM HAS EXISTED WITH FORD 2013 F150 ECOBOOST 3.5 ENGINE VEHICLES FOR SERVERAL MONTHS. I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THIS IS A FORD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH RECALL NOTICES THAT WERE SENT OUT BY FORD AND THEY STILL HAVE NO FIX.

WHILE IN DRIVE MY TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO FIRST WITHOUT WARNING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW ZERO WHILE IM STILL ROLLING AROUND 20-30MPH. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO RESET MY TRUCK. GOD FORBID I HOPE THIS DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN WHEN IM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY, FORD WILL HAVE 5 LIVES DEPENDING ON THEIR ELECTRONICS NOT GLITCHING OUT. WHILE THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO CODES SHOWING UP.

DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST... STILL...AFTER THE RECALL APPOINTMENT. RESET, BUT CONTINUES AND WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK A SHORT TIME. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED A FEW WRECKS AND ONE WITH A TRAILER PULLING MACHINERY. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO HAVE A NEWER TRUCK TO HAUL OUR HORSES AS WELL, AND CANNOT DO THAT. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF! WE HAVE ALL FORD F 150'S IN OUR FAMILY AND HATE TO HAVE TO CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE IF THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED. A NEW TRANSMISSION/??? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH TO FIX WHAT IS WRONG??? TRUCK IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND AT VARIOUS TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO WARNING, CAN BE FINE FOR DAYS THEN HAPPENS ALL OF A SUDDEN. STREET, HIGHWAY, DOESN'T MATTER. AND NOW IT'S NOT WANTING TO COME BACK DOWN AFTER SHIFTING BACK UP FROM 1ST. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. CAN'T SELL IN GOOD CONSCIOUS TO SOMEONE, SO IT SITS. BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, JUST BAD TRANNY. OH, AND ALSO, THE TRUCK THINKS THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN AND IT'S NOT, WHICH KEEPS US FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCK IT AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR A BIT AFTER SHUTTING OFF (USING THE BATTERY). NOT SURE IF THIS HAS A RECALL OR NOT.

I RECIEVED A RECALL LETTER FOR RECALL NUMBER 19S07 FROM FORD IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK MY TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. 2013 FORD F-50 XLT WITH 3.5 ENGINE

TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR MODEL YEAR 2011-2013 FORD F-150. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 F150 WOULD DOWN SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY ALMOST STOPPING ABRUPTLY. IT HAPPENED TWICE BUT AFTERWARDS, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IT WOULD UP SHIFT WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE BASICALLY STALLED IN THE STREET. TWICE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH, LEAVING ME ONLY ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AT WALDORF FORD AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW SPEED SENSOR LOCATED ON THE LEAD FRAME OF THE TRANS. I HAD THE WORK COMPLETED BUT LATER REALIZED THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED BUT WAS NOT INFORMED WHY. IT'S WITH IN THE MODEL YEAR RANGE, DIAGNOSED BY FORD WITH EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND SYMPTOMS BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON NOT INCLUDED. I'VE CONTACTED FORD ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. IF YOU COULD ASSIST IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AS THE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,343.

VEHICLE HAS LOUD TICKING NOISE WHEN COLD STARTED, SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY EMISSION REPAIR, DEALER STATED TURBO HAD GONE BAD AND WIPED OUT TURBO. VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES JUST OUTSIDE OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, DEALER DECLINED ASSISTANCE AND WANTED $2500 TO REPAIR TURBO AND WOULD THEN REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED HAVE ALL RECORDS, IF TURBO WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DESTROYED THE ENGINE STATED THE DEALER. WHY IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ENGINE FAILING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE? VEHICLE ALSO HAS INTERMITTENT SHIFTING PROBLEM AROUND 40-45MPH SEEMS TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY, DEALER SAYS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME COULD BE ISSUE OR ECM/PCM PROGRAMMING, THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY OF THOSE REPAIRS YET.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65-75 MPH, LOST ENGINE POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER, TRYING NOT TO CAUSE A WRECK, AND STOPPED BETWEEN BUSY HIGHWAY AND ON-RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. FOUND #27 FUSE MELTED. CHANGED FUSE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. I DON'T LIKE REPAIRING FORD'S ENGINEERING MISTAKES, NOR DO I LIKE BEING PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THEM. I USE THIS TRUCK FOR WORK AND HAVE A LIFETIME'S ACCUMULATION OF SPECIALTY TOOLS KEPT IN THIS TRUCK FOR MY JOB. IF THE TRUCK GOES UP IN FLAMES, WILL FORD REPLACE WHAT IS LOST? THE WAY THIS FUSE, FUSE BOX, AND THE CONNECTION HAS FAILED LOOKS AS THERE CAN POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION IN NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW, AT HIGH SPEED, THAT COULD A RESULTED IN A WRECK, INJURY, DEATH, ETC. I WILL FIX THIS, PROBABLY ON MY OWN DIME. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY IS THIS NOT REQUIRED TO BE FIXED BY FORD. IT'S AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT EVEN FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROVIDED A TSB TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY, CAUSING ME TO VEER ONTO THE SHOULDER UNTIL I COULD MANUALLY REGAIN CONTROL. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. POWER STEERING IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOT FUNCTIONING MORE THAN FUNCTIONING. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT DUE TO THIS, BUT NOT 2013. I'VE FOUND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEONE COULD'VE EASILY BEEN KILLED.
