2013 Ford F-150 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO FUTURE FORD LINCOLN (650 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (888) 656-7577). THE DEALER REPAIRED A FUEL PUMP AND WIRING THAT WAS HEAT DAMAGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. *JS

ON HIGHWAY, SPEED(60 MPH), GAUGES ON DASH BEGAN SWINGING WILDLY, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY AND THEN DOWN SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AT 60 MPH. THE REAR TIRES STARTED SCREAMING AND THREW ME SIDEWAYS INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ONTO SHOULDER OF ROAD. I HAD BEEN ON HIGHWAY FOR APPROX. 20 MINUTES BEFORE FAULT HAPPENED. I RESTARTED AND VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE. I ATTEMPTED TO TRAVEL TO FORD DEALER WHEN AFTER ANOTHER 20 MINUTES FAULT RESUMED THROWING TRUCK OFF HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY ONTO EXIT ROAD. I AGAIN RESTARTED TRUCK AND PROCEEDED AT 20 MPH TO NEARBY DEALER. MY FORD DEALER FOUND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF OSS SIGNAL FROM THE LEAD FRAME. EXACT PROBLEM AND REPAIR AS IN RECALL #16N02 BUT MY TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF RECALL RANGE. I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE 2013 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME UNSAFE CONDITION. I HAD SOME DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY LEFT SO REPAIR COST ME ONLY $100.00 BUT RECALL WOULD HAVE EXTENDED MY TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES.

2013 FORD F-150 SUPERCAB FX4. POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW WITH DEFROST SHATTERED WITHOUT IMPACT. I HAVE A FIBERGLASS TOPPER, SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE WINDOW. THE DRIVER-SIDE SHATTERED, BUT THE SLIDER AND PASSENGER-SIDE WERE UNAFFECTED. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 30S FAHRENHEIT; NOT SURE WHETHER THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WAS ACTIVATED. I HEARD THE GLASS BREAK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT DID NOT REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION.WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR DOOR, I HEARD THE GLASS FALL OUT.

HEATER/AIR BLOWER CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WAS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION CAUSING THE FAN/BLOWER TO OVER HEAT. I CAUGHT IT SOON AFTER THE FIRE STARTED SO WAS ABLE TO PUT IT OUT BEFORE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY FRONT DRIVEWAY AND HAD JUST STARTED IT RUNNING TO WARM UP.

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVES ERRATICALLY. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP ALL POWER IS LOST. A BIG WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM FORCED TO COAST OR LIMP OUT OF TRAFFIC. USUALLY IT WILL STOP IF I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCE IS SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. AGAIN I NEED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER POWERTRAIN ISSUE I HAVE EXPERIENCED, HOWEVER NOT AS DANGEROUS. IS ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAGES WILL GO BLANK. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OR ODOMETER. SOMETIMES I'LL SEE THE BIG YELLOW WRENCH. AGAIN, TO FIX THIS I NEED TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. I HAVE A 2013 FORD F-150 XLT WITH 3.5 ECOBOOST APPROXMITTLY 80,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONE OF THESE THREE PROBLEMS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR PERIODICALLY. DASH WOULD ALSO RESET.

TRUCK SUDDENLY DROPS FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1 ST GEAR AND BARKS THE REAR TIRES WHILE TRAVELING AT 60MPH ALSO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES COMPLETELY OUT EXCEPT FOR THE RPM GAUGE IT ALSO DOWN SHIFTS FROM 6TH TO 5TH AND THEN WILL NOT UPSHIFT AND ONLY DOWN SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR ALSO IT HAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHEN TAKING IFF FROM A RED LIGHT. IT HAS DONE EVERYTHING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY EXCEPT FOR THE 1ST GEAR ISSUE THAT HAPPENED FROM A STOPED POSITION WHEN I STARTED TO TAKE OFF. PROBLEM DOES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN YOU PULL OVER AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN IT STARTS IT AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 985.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE PREVIOUS YEARS TRUCK SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2011 AND 2012 ALSO HAVE READ THE PROBLEM IS STILL ACCOURING ON THE 2014 MODELS AS WELL

MY 2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO MOVE FROM A STOP. IT HAS ALSO SKIPPED 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND GOTTEN STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND BARELY ABLE TO MOVE MORE THAN 5 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING 40 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. TYPICALLY PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON FIXES IT. I AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

AT APPROX 0800 ON 12/03/2018 WHILE DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF AT POTOMAC HEIGHTS ELEMENTRY SCHOOL, WE WERE SITTING STILL WAITING IN THE PARENTS DROP OFF LINE ON THE SCHOOL PROPERTY WHEN WE HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG, MY DAUGHTER POINTED AT THE REAR WINDOW AND SAID THAT IT WAS SHATTERED, SHE POINTED AT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, AT WHICH TIME I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT IF WE WERE HIT BY ANYTHING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION YOU CAN SEE NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE OR THE WINDOW. I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AND PULLED FORWARD TO DROP OFF MY DAUGHTER AND AT THAT TIME REPORTED TO THE SCHOOLS STAFF WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I ASKED FOR THEM TO REVIEW THEIR VIDEO TAPE AND SEE IF SOMETHING HAD IN FACT HIT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD AND CALL ME BACK. AT APPROX 0845 I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AFTER LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE THAT IT IS A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING IN FORD F-150 FROM 2010-2018 MODELS. I SPOKE WITH DOUG GREEN, THE SERVICE MANAGER, AND HE SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE ISSUES CURRENTLY BUT THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT IS A CASE BY CASE BASIS THROUGH FORD. HE REQUESTED PICTURES OF THE SHATTERED GLASS AND MY VIN AND SAID HE WOULD CONTACT FORD WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AND SEE HOW WE MOVE FORWARD. POTOMAC HEIGHTS ELEMENTRY SCHOOL CONTACTED ME, MR STARK, KARL, WHO IS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL AND AFTER REVIEWING THE VIDEO HE OBSERVED NOTHING HITTING THE VEHICLE AND WITNESSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE DAMAGE, HE A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ED KENLEY FORD (877-841-1691, LOCATED AT 1888 N MAIN ST, LAYTON, UT 84041) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUSE 27 IN THE FUSE BOX WAS TOO SMALL AND NEEDED TO BE RELOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

I HAVE A 2013 F150 AND HAVE A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER MY MECHANIC LOOKED INTO IT HE SAID IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN RATTLING AT START UP. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT. BARELY BROKE IN AND NOW HAS A ROUGH IDLE AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING. MY MECHANIC CAME UP WITH 4 DIFFERENT CODES SHOWING CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION CORRELATIONS. TURBO CHARGER UNDER REST. SYSTEM TO RICH BANK 1 & 2 AND MISFIRE DETECTED AT START UP. THIS IS A 2013 TRUCK WITH 52000 MILES AND FORD IS TELLING ME IT PROBABLY ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD COST AROUND $3500 OR MORE TO FIX. I SEE THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2011 & 2012 F150S. INTERNET IS FULL OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH IT FOR 3 YEARS AND NO RECALL?

DUE TO THROTTLE BODY FAILURE, THE TRUCK HAS GONE INTO A "LIMP" MODE SEVERAL TIMES. NEEDLESS TO SAY FOR THE TRUCK TO SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR EVEN WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN COULD BE DEADLY. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ANYONE THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE AND NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR DRIVING. NOT SURE I WANT MY WIFE OR KIDS TO DRIVE ANYTHING MADE WITH FORD'S THROTTLE BODY DESIGN. I SEE THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO FIX THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF A RECALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS CUSTOMER IS NOT SATISFIED.

THURSDAY MORNING 12-6-18 IT WAS ABOUT 0 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT I STARTED MY TRUCK AND TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW / MIRROR DEFROSTER. I WAS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM THE HOUSE WHEN I HEARD A BANG COMING FROM MY BACK SEAT AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IT WAS LOUD ENOUGH THAT IT MADE ME JUMP. AT THE TIME I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS BUT MY REAR DEFROSTER WOULD NO LONGER WORK. I MESSED AROUND WITH IT A FEW TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT LIGHT THE DASH LIGHT. LATER ON AS THE SUN WAS SHINING JUST RIGHT I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. AT THAT POINT IT ALL BECAME CLEAR TO ME WHAT THE NOISE WAS AND WHERE IT HAD COME FROM. F150 BACK GLASS SHATTERED WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON.

WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK IN DRIVE FROM A PARKED POSITION OR AN IDLING POSITION THE TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN HARD TO 1ST AND THEN ALL THE WAY TO 5TH. TRUCK HAS 69,750 MILES. HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS TIME IS WILL ONLY GO FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND HAS FINALLY COME UP WITH THE WRENCH SERVICE LIGHT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS INJURED OR WORSE.

THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. THEN SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT THAT SAME SPEED IT SHIFTED TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR LOCKING UP THE TIRES. THIS CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTED BACK TO 6TH GEAR AND BEGAN SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH AGAIN BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR UNTIL I COULD EXIT THE FREEWAY. UPON EXIT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHEN EXITING LOCKING UP THE TIRES AGAIN.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE PORTION OF CENTER SLIDING WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, UNOCCUPIED AND NOT RUNNING. TOPPER IS ON THE BOX, WHICH RULES OUT ANY SORT OF IMPACT.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAIL. I HAVE HAD 2 BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILS AND WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE 3RD TIME TO REPLACE ANOTHER BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE AUGUST 2018. 3 MASTER CYLINDERS WITHIN THE LAST 5 MONTHS.

VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 1 GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. VEHICLE WILL ALSO REMAIN IN HIGH GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP, NO CODES SHOW. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT.

ON THE 2012 AND 2013 MODEL YEAR F150 WITH REAR WINDOW DEFROST IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THE ELECTRICAL WIRING OR CONNECTION TO FAIL AND LITERALLY BLOW OUT THE BACK WINDOW. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE HEATED MIRRORS IF THE TRUCK HAS THAT OPTION TOO. WHEN THE REAR WINDOW BLOWS OUT IT CAN LITERALLY BLOW HOLES PUT OF THE GLASS. WITH KIDS HAVING TO RIDE IN THE BACK THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE REAR DEFROST WILL WORK FINE OR MALFUNCTION A COUPLE TIMES AND THEN WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AND BREAK/BLOW THE WINDOW OUT. IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. I'VE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT.

WHILE ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE THROTTLE SUDDENLY WENT DEAD AND AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN IT RESTARTED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY CODES. DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY WITHOUT A CODE. FORD REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY IS A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

2013 F150 DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN THE TIRES LOCKING UP AS IF I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. IT NOW CONTINUES TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY FROM 1ST TO 6TH TO 3RD. IT ALSO GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT NORMALLY AND THEN DOWNSHIFT BACK TO FIRST GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY FOR SOME TIME WITH HARD SHIFTING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE ANY NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIPS TAKE A LOOK AT IT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

I HAVE A 2013 F-150 ECOBOOST. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH LAST NIGHT, 12/3/18 WHEN IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED, CAUSING THE REAR BRAKES TO LOCK AND TIRES SQUEALED. I LURCHED FORWARD IN THE SEAT. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT DOWN AND THEN BACK UP TO 50. IT LASTED ALL BUT SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I HAVE LEFT IT IN THE GARAGE SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THE GARAGE. THANKFULLY THE ROAD WAS DRY OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE ABOUT 110,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE. THE PAST FEW WEEKS HOWEVER IT HAS OCCASIONALLY NOT SHIFTED OUT OF 1ST OR HAS STARTED IN 5TH GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN SPORADIC ONLY. OCCASIONALLY, WHEN I START OFF, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND HAS GENERALLY BEEN A VERY GOOD PERFORMING VEHICLE.

UPON USING MY REMOTE START, AND THEREBY USING THE REAR DEFROSTER, THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW MADE A VERY LOUD POP SOUND WHILE I WAS STANDING NEAR MY PARKED CAR. UPON EXAMINATION, THE ENTIRE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW PANEL WAS SHATTERED AND SPIDER-WEBBED. IT APPEARS TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD TRUCKS AS OF LATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S WHEEL LUG NUTS AND THE LUG NUTS CHROME COVER FAILED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT PARADISE FORD (1360 WEST KING STREET, COCOA, FL 32922, (888) 379 8533) FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE WHEEL LUG NUTS AND THE LUG NUTS CHROME COVER WERE WORN, UNABLE TO TORQUE, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS AND THE LUG NUTS CHROME COVER FAILED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES HAD BEEN ROTATED NINETEEN TIMES AT THE SAME DEALER AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF REPLACING THE LUG NUTS AND THE LUG NUTS CHROME COVER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS AND LUG NUTS CHROME COVER FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE LUG NUTS AND THE LUG NUTS CHROME COVERS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,829.

AT 99K MILES THE EPSA WENT OUT ON MY 2013 F150 4X4. TRUCK WAS NEVER MISTREATED OVER 95% OF THE MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I FIND IT ODD YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR 2013. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED

THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO A 1ST OR 2ND GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MOVING AT 40 TO 50 MPH. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WILL UP SHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT RANDOMLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP AROUND AND SOMETIMES COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OF THEN TURNED ON AGAIN THE GAUGES WILL WORK AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM SIXTH TO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED CAPITAL FORD OF CHARLOTTE AT 844-242-1515 (LOCATED AT 5411 N TRYON ST, CHARLOTTE, NC 28213), BUT NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,119.

MY "SERIVE ADVANCE TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND PROHIBITS MY TURN SIGNALS FROM WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE TAKEN TO MANY SHOPS NONE HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX BOUT PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AUGUST 2017

THE FUEL PUMP FUSE (FUSE 27) OVERHEATS AND BURNS OUT RESULTING IN THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHUTTING OFF AT SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AT 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY LEAVING ME WITH NO ENGINE AT THAT SPEED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO 5TH GEAR WHILE PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION VEHICLE LOST POWER IN THE INTERSECTION AIR BAG LIGHT AND WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE VEHICLE LOST POWER LOST ALL DISPLAYS I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED .I UNDERSTAND THAT PREVIOUS YEARS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS ON THE 2013 YET PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. THANK YOU

I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK WITH THE FACTORY REMOTE TO WARM UP THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVE WAY. I START TO PUT MY CHILD IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE LEFT REAR SIDE. AS IM PUTTING MY CHILD IN I CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND I CAN SEE SMOKE COMING OUT FROM BEHIND THE SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY TAKE HIM OUT OF THE TRUCK AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS SOON AS IT TURNS OFF I HEAR A LOUD POP NOISE ALMOST LIKE A FIREWORK GOING OFF. I SEE THE REAR WINDOW IS NOW SHATTERED WITH PIECES OF GLASS FALLING ON MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT. DEFROSTER SEEMED TO BURN THE TRUCKS REAR SEAT AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE WINDOW DEFROSTER OVER-HEATING AND CAUSING THE LEFT REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO FORD WITHIN DAYS OF THIS HAPPENING AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM.

THIS IS THE 3RD OCCURRENCE OVER THE LAST MONTH. DRIVING ON HWY 90 AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR. THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND SMOKED AS I WAS THROWN FORWARD AGAINST MY SEAT BELT. I NARROWLY KEPT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED ONTO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE TRUCK OPERATED NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 50 MILES. THE SUDDEN VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING. FORD HAS RECALLED 2014 F150'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED THE 2013'S? SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD F150. DO SOMETHING.

TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT ON ITS OWN ERRATICALLY. WHILE TRAVELLING IN 6TH GEAR AT 70 MPH IT WOULD DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST LOCKING TIRES BRIEFLY AND THEN BACK TO SPEED AFTER LETTING OFF THE PEDAL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO BLANK AND THE NEEDLES WOULD STOP WORKING WHILE STILL MOVING. IT CANT BE DUPLICATED AND DOES IT WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAD DONE IT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ONCE IT WAS IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR WITH OR WITHOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN TURN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON. WOULD HAVE A WRENCH WITH OK BUTTON. WAS GETTING ON HIGHWAY DURING ONE OCCASION AND IT LOST POWER ALMOST CAUSING A MERGE COLLISION DUE TO I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I LIMPED IT OFF THE SIDE OFF ROAD, SHUT IT DOWN, RESTARTED AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. I JUST HAD IT REPAIRED AND NOW SEEMS TO BE WORKING AS I HAVE TRIED MANY SITUATIONS NERVOUSLY AWAITING IT TO FAIL IF IT IS THE FIX. THE LEAD FRAME IN TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE FOR THE 2011-2012 MODELS AND SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR 2013 OR ANY MODEL WITH THIS DESIGN. IT CAUSES VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AND COULD BE FATAL IN CERTAIN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I PHYSICALLY WATCHED CARS BACK OFF ME WHILE TRAVELLING 60 MPH AND MY TIRES MUST HAVE SMOKE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN IT SHIFTED DOWN AND CHIRPED THE TIRES UNEXPECTEDLY. NOT HAPPY SINCE I ONLY HAVE COUPLE MONTHS ON THESE NEW TIRES AS WELL. THE TRANSMISSION ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD SHIFT POINT BETWEEN 4,5 AND 6TH GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH MY TRUCK HAS DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, LOCKING UP THE REAR TIRES. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS

SUDDEN MOMENTARY DOWNSHIFT AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHILE CRUISING IN TOWN. THE VEHICLE REAR TIRES SKID MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE QUICKLY RECOVERED & DROVE NORMALLY. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN TWO WEEKS.

EITHER I START FROM BEING STOPPED AND IT IMMEDIATELY GOES TO 3RD OR 5TH GEAR OR IT WILL DROP TO A LOW GEAR WHEN I'M GOING HIGHWAY SPEED. IF I PUT IT IN PARK IT FIXES PROBLEM BUT IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING FAST OR STARTING FROM A STOP AND CROSSING AT AN INTERSECTION IN TRAFFIC. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. NO CODE WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER. ONCE A YELLOW WRENCH HAS GAME ON AND WHOLE DASH WENT BLANK.

ENGINE HAS GRINDING NOISE FOR 2-3 SECONDS ON DAILY INITIAL STARTUP AND WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AFTER SITTING SEVERAL HOURS. DEALER PERFORMED ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC AND DIAGNOSED THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. FOR TIMING CHAIN ISSUES, THIS REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF TIMING CHAIN AND PHASERS. DEALER EST COST TO FIX = $4000+. THIS HAS BEEN A REPORTED ISSUE FOR THIS ENGINE OVER THE LAST 3+ YEARS. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS ON A RECALL, OR REFUND CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY INCURRED THIS EXPENSE.

AN UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR CAUSES TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN MOTION

REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. NOTHING IMPACTED THE GLASS. GLASS IS STILL INTACT IN THE VEHICLE. HATE TO THINK IF A CHILD WAS IN A CARSEAT AND THE GLASS ALL FELL OUT ON TOP OF THEM. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAJNTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AND THAT FORD HAS DENIED ANY RESPONSEABILITY. IT IS DEFENITLY A PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ABRUPTLY. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE A FAILURE CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION LOAD SENSOR WAS FOUND. THE TRANSMISSION LOAD SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *TT

EXPERIENCE AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT. DEPENDING ON VEHICLE SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT, AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR MAY OCCUR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE OR LOCK UP UNTIL THE VEHICLE SLOWS. THIS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. CODE P0731 WHEN THE CODE P0731 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR IN GEAR 1.CODE P0732 WHEN THE CODE P0732 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING A GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 2ND GEAR.CODE P0733 WHEN THE CODE P0733 IS SET IN THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER, IT MEANS THAT THE POWERTRAIN COMPUTER OR PCM IS SEEING A GREATER THAN A SPECIFIED RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE INPUT RPM SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT RPM SENSOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN 3RD GEAR.

MY AUTO TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING. IT LOCKS UP THE WHEELS AND IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. FORD HAD A RECALL FOR 2011 AND 2012 F-150'S WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM (RECALL #16S19), BUT THEY SAID IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCK.THAT IS WRONG AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE RECALL IDENTIFIES THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS THE "POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE/TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE". IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MPH.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE TRUCK LOST SPEEDOMETER READING AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. TRANMISSION SHIFT LEVER WAS MOVED TO MANUAL WITH NO CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR. THIS RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. CONDITION RESET ONLY AFTER TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF ON DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME AND REPLACED IT. WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK BUILD DATE WAS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RECALLED DATE WINDOW SO I PAID THE $870 FOR THE REPAIR.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TWICE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IN 6TH GEAR AT GREATER THAN 65 MPH THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 4TH GEAR FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH CAUSED THE TIRES TO SQUEAL AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JERK AND SLOW SIGNIFICANTLY. NO WARNING OR ERROR OR WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. FIVE OTHER TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 15 MPH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROLS ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 5TH GEAR WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY BOGGED THE VEHICLE DOWN AND ALMOST STALLED. FORD ERROR CODE P0722, OBD-II TROUBLE CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CAME IN. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACED.

UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR OCCURRING.MY 2013 FORD F-150 V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING, GETS STUCK IN THE FIRST GEAR. HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN SOMETIMES SHUT IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT ALSO STICKS IN FIFTH GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP.

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON STRAIGHT, LEVEL HIGHWAY, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS IN 6TH GEAR (HIGHEST GEAR), SUDDENLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO MUCH LOWER GEAR WITH NO ACTION TAKEN ON MY PART. TRANSMISSION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RUINED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

PASSANGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT AS BROKE OFF CAUSING AN EXHAUST LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAS 59010 MILES AND IS A 2013. FORD WANTS OVER 1600 TO FIX SAID ISSUE. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT FAULT OR COVER UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY.

2013 F-150 WITH 6R80 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. (1) ON 8/17/2015 TOOK TRUCK IN TO DEALER AT 40,000 MILES DUE TO ERRATIC SHIFTING AND SHUDDER, NO AVAILABLE ERROR CODES. THEY PERFORMED A REPROGRAMMING AND SAID A TIRE WAS OUT OF BALANCE. PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET BETTER, BUT STILL EXHIBITED SLIGHT SHUDDER AND OCCASIONAL BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS MALFUNCTION WAS REPORTED TO FORD (2) ON 01/24/2018 (MILEAGE 77,000), TRUCK SHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY TO FIRST GEAR AT APPROX. 65MPH, CAUSING SUDDEN SPEED DECREASE AND MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL.

RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONALITY WAS RESTORED, WARNING LIGHTS & CODE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE WITHOUT CODE, RECOMMENDED NEW BATTERY. PROBLEM SEEMED LIKE GLITCH, ALTHOUGH WOULD SOMETIMES SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR IN PARKING LOTS. (3) ON 11/08/2018 (MILEAGE 84,000), TURNING LEFT ACROSS HIGHWAY, TRUCK LOST ALL POWER IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. COLLISION NARROWLY AVOIDED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES, RESTARTED TRUCK IN INTERSECTION AND FUNCTIONALITY RESTORED. WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING LOT AT 5-10MPH, TRUCK INDICATES IT IS IN 5TH GEAR. RESTARTED, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE REMAINING 2 MILES HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. AGAIN, NO CODES AVAILABLE, BUT EXTREMELY UNSAFE. WILL BE TOWING BACK TO DEALER ON 11/12/2018 AND REPORTING THESE ISSUES TO FORD ONCE AGAIN. SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO MOLDED LEAD FRAME OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR ISSUES ADDRESSED
