TAKARA RECALL STEERING ALMOST LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING (STUFF)BUT ONLY WHILE MAKING SMALL LANE ADJUSTMENTS

APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A USED 2013 FORD F-150 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN WARREN, MICHIGAN. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL DETAILING A RECALL REGARDING VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION ' SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT (SAFETY RECALL 19S07). AFTER RECEIVING MY POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO FROM SZOTT FORD IN HOLLY, MICHIGAN, I EXPECTED MY TRANSMISSION TO RUN SMOOTHLY. SIX DAYS AGO, WHILE PULLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT LEAVE FIRST GEAR. SOMEHOW, I AVOIDED BEING HIT FROM CROSSING TRAFFIC. SHORTLY AFTER AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE THEN SWITCHED ABRUPTLY FROM FIRST GEAR TO FIFTH GEAR (GOING AROUND 10 MPH). AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED IN FIFTH GEAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO MANUAL AND WOULD NOT LEAVE FIFTH GEAR. AT NO POINT DURING THIS TIME DID AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. AFTER SWITCHING THE CAR INTO FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY AND SINCE NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX. SAFETY RECALL 19S07 DID NOT FIX THIS VEHICLES ISSUES. LAST NIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT LEAVE 1ST GEAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR WOULD SIT IN SECOND GEAR THEN JUMP TO 5TH GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CAR

TRANSMISSION BRIEFLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A 4 LANE STREET. I WAS NOT TURNING. THE ROAD WAS RELATIVELY FLAT. I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL, AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BACK TO FIFTH RELATIVELY QUICK. TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO ATTEMPT TO START IN FIFTH GEAR FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED FROM THIS EVENT.

MY TRANSMISSION SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED TO SHIFT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FROM HIGH GEAR TO LOW GEAR 2/28/2019. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER DOWN THE STREET AFTER STOPPING AND POWER CYCLING. 3/1/2019, I WAS INFORMED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE WAS AVAILABLE, ALL WAS WELL, AND I PICKED UP MY F150. 3/5/2019, THE F150 SHIFTED FROM HIGH TO LOW AGAIN. I CONTACTED MY FORD DEALER OF THE ONGOING ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 3/11/2019. ON 3/12/2019, I WAS INFORMED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPRODUCE. FROM RESEARCH CONDUCTED FROM THE PROBLEM ONSET, INTERNET FORUMS LED ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM WAS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THE PLASTIC MOLDED LEAD FRAME MODULE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FORD DEALER SAID THEY SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LEAD FRAME, BUT I MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE IT REPLACED. 3/14/2019 PICKED UP MY F150. THE DATE IS 3/20/2019 AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF LEADING TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM ORIGINALLY WAS THE LEAD FRAME MODULE. I AM SURPRISED AN UPDATE DEVICE AND RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS ITEM AS IT APPEARS TO BE THE CULPRIT OF THE F150 SHIFTING PROBLEM.

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY GOES TO 0 MPH, DASH INFORMATION LIKE MPG AND MILEAGE ALL READ ------, ONLY INSTRUMENT WORKING IS THE TACHOMETER...ADDITIONALLY WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTS YOU SEE THE AIR BAG WARNING ILLUMINATE, BUT A MINUTE LATER THE SERVICE WRENCH APPEARS ON SCREEN. ONCE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS THE TRUCK HAS TROUBLE TAKING OFF, VERY SLOW TO GET GOING, IT'S IN A HIGHER GEAR AND NOT BE RETURNING TO 1ST GEAR. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN 98% OF THE TIME THE TRUCK WILL RUN FINE, A FEW TIMES I HAD TO CYCLE ON AND OFF TWICE. PROBLEMS USUALLY REOCCURS OFTEN. I HAD A FORD DEALER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM...THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY MOLDED LEADFRAME INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. $1100. REPAIR COST. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY---HARD TO BELIEVE I ONLY GOT 120K OUT OF A TRANSMISSION, WAS EXPECTING 300K. THERE IS EVEN A BULLETIN FROM FORD, TSB 13-6-8. BUT THEY STILL WOULD NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY!

THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL OUT WHEN REFUELING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TRUCK'S OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR AND HARNESS FAILED WHILE MOVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND DOWNSHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO LOW GEAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FORD HAS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE SOFTWARE BUT NOT THE SENSOR. PRIOR YEAR VEHICLES ALSO HAD THE SAME RECALL AND FORD REPLACED THE SENSOR AS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED (50 MPH), MY FORD-F-150 WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR-ENDED ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER EVENTUALLY. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME BUT THE PROBLEM REOCCURED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. AT THE DEALER - IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS IS IDENTICAL (BOTH IN TRUCK ACTIONS AND ELECTRONIC CODES) TO THE 16N02 RECALL FOR 2011-2012 FORD -F-150'S BUT THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING PART OF THAT BATCH. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED (AS OFFERED IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED WARRANTEE) SO THAT MY TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR WEAR TO ANY OF THE PARTS THAT NEEDED REPLACED. LOOKING ONLINE - THIS HAS OCCURRED IN SEVERAL 2013 FORD F-150 ACCORDING TO MESSAGE BOARDS - AND WE HOPE FORD WILL CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL AND PREVENTING THIS ISSUE FROM OCCURRING TO OTHER OWNERS.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE , AS MY 2013 F150 HAS SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ERRATICALLY. DRIVING AT STEADY SPEEDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHIFTS UP AND DOWN FROM 1ST TO 5TH AND 6TH GEAR AND BACK DOWN AGAIN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. WHICH AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS STATED IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AND FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE RECALLED CERTAIN YEARS BUT NOT 2013 WHICH IS APPARENTLY JUST AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE , NOW THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE IT WILL MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY AT LEAST $1000 TO REPAIR MAYBE MORE IF MORE PROBLEMS ARE FOUND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT SPANS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE DEAL THIS AS THIS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT HAS SPANNED YEARS AND MANY MODELS AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THAT UNSUSPECTING VICTIM IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

STEERING IS BINDING UP DURING TURNS, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT. FEELS LIKE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. WHEEL DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER BUT MUST BE STEERED BACK TO CENTER. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRESENT TOOK TO DEALER TOLD ME STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED AND THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF RECALLS FOR THIS BUT MY TRUCK HAS NOT GOT THE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DO TO IT...

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND SO FAR HAS NOT KILLED ANYBODY. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHEN I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT PROGRAMMING RECALL DONE, AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR WANTED $130 + 10% SHOP SUPPLIES + TAX TO CHECK IT OUT. I AM STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT HE SAID IF THEIR WERE NO EROOR CODES RELATED TO STEERING AND IF THE STEERING SHAFT WAS NOT BENT, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO FOR ME.I DECLINED TO PAY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED ON DEMAND. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP STOP SIGN.

HAD TO HAVE ALL 24 LUG NUTS REPLACED AT 62,000 MILES. I HAD TO REPLACE 12 LUG NUTS BEFORE THIS STARTING IN 2014.. VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. THEY GET DESTROYED REMOVING BUT GET STRIPPED AND ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITH SUPPLIED WRENCH. I WORK IN THE WOODS AND CAN'T GET ROAD SERVICE. THESE LUG NUTS ARE A POOR DESIGN.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I TRIED TO TURN ON THE REAR DEFOGGER. IT WAS 27 DEGREES F AND THE REAR WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY COVERED WITH FROST MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE BACK. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG. I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SAW THAT MY REARVIEW WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD SHATTERED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 55 MPH AT THE TIME AND NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND ME. THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW IN THIS TRUCK. FORD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE REAR DEFOGGER NOT WORKING. NOT LONG AFTER, THE DEFOGGER STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I REMEMBER SEEING MANY ONLINE POSTS ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGERS, BUT I ASSUMED FORD FIXED THE ISSUE WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT. NOW THAT THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED, IT IS EVIDENT THAT FORD HASN'T FIXED ANYTHING AND BY THE NUMBER OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS, THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE EITHER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A RECALL HASN'T BEEN ESTABLISHED YET WITH THE SAFETY CONCERNS OF BROKEN GLASS NEAR THE PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS.

19S07 TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING FROM 6TH TO 1ST. I EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SYMPTOMS FOR THE RECALL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER LOU FUSZ THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A TRANMISSION SENSOR AND STATED IT WOULD BE OVER $900 TO FIX IT. THE WORK WAS PERFORMED AND THE TRUCK HAS NOT DONE IT SINCE. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE DENYING THE CLAIM TO REIMBURSE FOR THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAD DONE THE DOWNSHIFT MORE THAN 10 TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS THE ONLY TIME FORD DEALER TOLD ME THEY FOUND THE SOLUTION. THIS IS NOT BEEN HANDLED CORRECTLY AND I AM NOT WANTING TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER GOING FROM 70 MPH DOWN TO 1ST GEAR LOCKING UP THE TRUCK AND SLIDING.

. I HAD REMOTE STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. ON THE WAY TO WORK THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW LATER SHATTERED WITH A LOUD POP WITH NO IMPACT OR PREVIOUS DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO THE REAR DEFROSTER NOT SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING (SAME SECTION OF THE SLIDING WINDOW) BUT FORD HAS YET TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND WAS DIFFICULT TO RESTART.

AFTER I TURNED THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION I CHECKED BEHIND ME TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE 3 PIECE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. NO MARKS FROM AN IMPACT TO THE WINDOW. YOU CAN'T TELL THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK WITHOUT GETTING VERY CLOSE TO THE WINDOW. I DO NOT USE THE REAR DEFROST OPTION ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IT CAN MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. AFTER DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE AUTO START CAN ACTIVATE THE REAR DEFROST. I NOTICED DURING THE ONLINE SEARCH THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THEM MORE THAN ONCE TO THE SAME TRUCK.

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 5TH. THIS PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING PROPERLY. MUST PULL OVER AND RESTART VEHICLE TO RESET THE TRANSMISSION TO 1ST.
