2013 Ford F-150 complaints

FORD F-150 3.5 V6 ECOBOOST STALLS OUT AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. WHILE TRYING TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE THE TRUCK MISFIRES BECAUSE OF THE INTERCOOLER COOLS THE AIR TO COLD TO EVAPORATE THE CONDENSATION AND HITS CYLINDER FOUR WHICH CASES IT TO MISFIRE WHICH THEN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BUT DOES NOT NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF IT HAPPENING TO PEOPLE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES!

TAKATA RECALL , THE REAR DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHERE THE REAR GLASS EXPLODES. I HAVE DISCONNECTED THE CABLE CONNECTING THE REAR DEFROST TO STOP IT FROM HEATING UP BUT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE ON 2013 FORD F-150 TRUCKS. IF THE CABLE CONNECTING THE REAR DEFROST BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE IS DISCONNECTED THE LIGHT FOR THE REAR DEFROST WORKS AND THE SIDE MIRRORS WORK BUT ONCE CONNECTED AGAIN NOTHING WORKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON FOR IT TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STRIETER LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY (520 W KIMBERLY RD, DAVENPORT, IA 52806, (563) 391-1500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

ERATIC DOWNSHIFTING, TRANSMISSION SOMETIME WOULD SHIFT TO A LOW GEAR WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING TIRES TO LOCK UP. VEHICLE ALSO WOULD GET STUCK IN HIGH GEAR MAKING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP IN AN ACTIVE ROADWAY IMPOSSIBLE AS CAR WOULD NOT MOVE

ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THE WRENCH EMBLEM APPEARED ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPUTER. THE FORD DEALER SAID IT WAS THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAD ACTUALLY GOTTEN HOT AND MELTED. IT SEEM THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE, AND WOULD NOT START.

THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A CITY STREET THE TRUCK WILL JERK FORWARD AND BACKWARD CHIRPING THE TIRES LIKE IT'S SLIPPING GEARS. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING IF I GIVE IT GAS EITHER IT WON'T REV UP OR IT WILL REV UP BUT NOT ACCELERATE ALMOST LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS DOWN TO ZERO AND BOUNCES UP AND DOWN EVEN WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED AND QUITE FRANKLY I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT EITHER. I FIND IT TERRIBLE THAT FORD HAS NOT INCLUDED THE 2013 VEHICLES INTO THE RECALL OF THE EARLIER MODELS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME DEFECTS.

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE GREEN ARROW APPEARED, PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE AT A RATE THAT WAS NOT NORMAL FOR WHAT THE TACHOMETER WAS READING. THE VEHICLE THEN JOLTED SUDDENLY AS IF THE 1ST GEAR HAD ENGAGED. THIS WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE LOSING ROAD SPEED. IT SEEMED THAT 5TH GEAR HAD BEEN ENGAGED. THE SEATBELT CAUTION AND WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES, BUT IT WAS SLOW BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT IN FIRST GEAR. PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ONCE STOPPED, I SHUTDOWN THE VEHICLE AND WAITED 30 SECONDS BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO ON FOR THIS FAILURE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DEALERSHIPS WHO ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE UNLESS THERE IS AN ASSOCIATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODE THAT CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A POWERTRAIN FAILURE WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAN LEAD TO A VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION IF THERE'S ONCOMING CROSS TRAFFIC. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE F150 MODEL YEAR 2013 FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ERRATIC SHIFTING IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT LOW SPEEDS.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK'S SPEEDOMETER WILL SHUT DOWN, AS WELL AS THE OTHER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, EXCEPT MY TACH. IT WILL THEN GO INTO "LIMP MODE" UNTIL I'M ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RECYCLE THE ENGINE. THE CODE THE COMPUTER IS SHOWING INDICATES AN OUTPUT POWER SPEED SENSOR. THIS WOULD ALSO INDICATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LEADFRAME. I WAS WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON 2013 F150 WHILE SHARING THE SAME 6R80 TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEMS?

WHILE TRAVELING IN 4TH GEAR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO 1ST GEAR. IT WOULD NOT GO OUT OF 1ST GEAR UNTIL I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED. HAPPENED AGAIN BEFORE I GOT IT HOME. DEALER REPLACED THE LEAD FRAME HARNESS, COST $1025.00. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD 60844 MILES ON ODOMETER.

UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS COULD FORCE A TEMPORARY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

AT HIGHWAY SPEED TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR LOCKING REAR TIRES. ENGINE RPMS HIT 5000 TO 6000 REVS. SPEEDO WILL STOP WORKING. HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE TRUCK WHICH RESETS EVERYTHING TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AT TIMES DURING INTOWN DRIVING TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY.

NORMAL DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, THEN SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT. SPEEDO TO 0 WHILE TACH REVS AND ALL OTHER GAUGES QUIT. I SEE A RECALL ON 2012 RAPTORS INVOLVING LEAD FRAME REPLACEMENT AND PCM RESET. MINE HAS THE SAME TRANNY AS RECALLED. HAPPENED YESTERDAY ONCE WHILE I DROVE AND 4 TIMES TODAY WHILE WIFE DROVE. SHE WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED.

RECENTLY EXPERIENCED SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, CRUISE CONTROL, BLINKER CONTROL, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTING QUITS WORKING. IF I SHUT OFF AND START AGAIN PROBLEMS GOES AWAY. I HAD RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT IS THE SPEED SENSOR. THEY HAVE A TSB BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. A FORD DEALER SAID TO REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME, AGAIN THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OF THE TSB. TODAY, WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOCK UP AND SQUEAL AND DROPPING MY SPEED RAPIDLY. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS RIDING MY TAIL. VERY SCARY INCIDENT, AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD AS I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IT'S UNSAFE FOR US THAT HAVE THESE VEHICLES AND FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH US. MAYBE WE NEED TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WITH DOORS LOCKED TOOK A CORNER AND THE DOOR LOCK FAILED AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN ALONG WITH A LOT OF PERSONAL ITEMS, THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THE OTHER DOOR DID THE SAME THING, THE DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN! 2011 AND 2012 FORD F-150 HAVE A RECALL ON THIS BUT FORD SAYS MY TRUCK DOES NOT!

2013 FORD F-150 TRAVELING 65MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST GEAR CAUSEING THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST INSTANTLY STOP IN TRAFFIC! FORD HAD A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT ASSIST WITH FIX SINCE MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL! TOLD ME TO GO TO DEALER TO GET A $120 DIAGNOSTIC, BUT ONCE IT HAPPENS THE CODES CLEAR 60 SECONDS AFTER AND CAN NOT BE FOUND AT DEALERSHIP. SO FORD BASICALLY TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING IT TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND HOPE I'M NEAR A DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. MAHWAH FORD (55 FRANKLIN TURNPIKE, MAHWAH, NJ) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND RECOMMENDED A CYLINDER BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,652.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH THE TRUCK SHIFTED FROM 6 TO 3RD GEAR LOCKING UP THE REAR END. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT OPERATING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND FUNCTIONALITY RETURNED.

I WOKE UP IN EARLY MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK. I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, BUT THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN AN HILL AND INTO TREES. WHILE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP TILL IT WAS IN THE TREE. MY BRAKE FLUID IS LOW WHICH IS A SIGN OF THE PROPOSED RECALL WHICH FORD IS DISPUTING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FORD SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SHOWS THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER BOX AND MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE HELP US MAKE FORD RECALL THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES. MY TRUCK IS ALSO SHOWING BRAKE FLUID HAS BEEN USED, ITS ABOUT 1/2 FULL NOW. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOUND WHEN THE MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM IS IN THE TRUCK.

MY 2013 FORD F-150 FX4 3.5L V6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS JUMPING, GETS STUCK IN THE FIRST GEAR OR SOMETIMES 5TH GEAR. HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN SOMETIMES SHUT IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. DRIVING AT 30 MILES AN HOUR AT TIMES IT WOULD JUMP AND BUCK HARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS VERY IRRITATING AND IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO JUMP AROUND OR IS STUCK IN 5TH AND YOU CANT GET MOVING IS DANGEROUS. THE DEALER WOULD NOT OFFER A REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THEY HAD IT. BUT OF COURSE IT HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME AFTER I PICKED IT UP. IT IS RANDOM, BUT HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS.

BRAKE FLUID IN RESERVOIR KEEPS GETTING LOW EVERY FEW HOURS AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LEVEL LIGHT BECOMES ILLUMINATED. THIS STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO AND I JUST SAW A NOTICE FROM GAS BUDDY INFORMING ME OF A RECALL #16S24 THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IN THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE IS NO RECALL NOTED FOR MY VEHCILE.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO BRAKES AFTER THAT POINT. COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY, CHECKED FLUID LEVEL, EMPTY. ADDED 20 OZ TO MAX FILL LEVEL, LEAKED OUT INSIDE OF 6 MINUTES. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER UNDER FORD RECALL 16S24. NOT SURE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. ISSUE IS I CHECK MY FLUID LEVEL EVERY WEEK BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED MARCH 2017, BUT WITH MY FLUID LEVEL STANDING FULL, DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE, I HAD PLANS TO DO THE RECALL IN OCT. THIS IS NOT A SLOW LEAK, THIS IS A FULL ON SEAL FAILURE WITH DRAINING OF THE RESERVOIR INSIDE 6 MINUTES WITH THE TRUCK PARKED. WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON, YOU ARE DONE WITH BRAKES. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THIS IS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL LOSS OF FLUID AND NOT JUST A "LEAK". AND THERE ARE NO REAR BRAKES, YOU DON'T JUST LOOSE THE FRONT BRAKES, YOU HAVE ZERO BRAKES. DIDN'T HAVE TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP IN THE PARKING LOT OF A GAS STATION.

GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK WOULD NO SLOW DOWN. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT TO 2ND OR 1ST GEAR. HARD UNCONTROLLED STOP. WHEN TRIED TO START MOVING AGAIN TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD AND STARTED FROM 5TH GEAR. DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALER AS THIS WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT SWITCHED GEARS RANDOMLY THE ENTIRE WAY TO THE FORD DEALER FROM THE HIGHWAY. 2013 47K MILES

ECO BOOST POWER LOSS

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, I STARTED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY MINOR SPEED REDUCTION. I ATTEMPTED TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ACTUALLY COME TO A STOP. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I WAS TOLD MY MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN LEAKING INTO MY BRAKE BOOSTER AND BOTH NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS WAS RECALLED IN 2016, BUT ONLY FOR 2013-2014 F150 WITH A 3.5L ENGINE. SINCE I HAVE A 2013 F150 WITH A 5.0L MINE WAS NOT RECALLED WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A WRECK. NOW I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT.

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES THAT OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES HAPPENING. 1. WHEN COMING TO A STOP THEN ACCELERATING, MOST FREQUENTLY AFTER GETTING OFF HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE THE TRUCKS RPMS WILL REV UP TO 4000, BUT THE TRUCK WILL NEVER SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND/OR RESTART THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. 2. AGAIN STOP FROM OFF HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRUCK WILL SLOWLY MOVE AND IT WILL STILL BE IN 4TH GEAR WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY GET UP TO SPEED AND START TO ACT NORMAL. 3. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30-50MPH THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT DOWN TO 1ST GEAR FROM 6/5TH GEAR CASING THE REAR TIRES TO LOCK AND SKID SLOWING THE TRUCK DOWN QUICKLY. I WAS JUST ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 4. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK WILL JERK LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTED AND SHOWS THE WRENCH ICON AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0MPH WHILE STILL TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TACHOMETER STILL WORKS, BUT THAT IS ABOUT IT. I HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK BEFORE IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. HAD MECHANIC CHECK FOR CODES, BUT THERE WAS NONE. THIS BEHAVIOR IS VERY ERRATIC AND A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, I WORRY FOR MY SAFETY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

I AM HAVING THE ISSUES DESCRIBED IN RQ17010. SOMEWHAT FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (I.E. IN PARKING LOTS) I WILL EXPERIENCE A HARSH DOWNSHIFT IN TO 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE THE REAR END TO SLIDE IF IT'S SLIPPERY OUT.

WHILE DRIVING AND MODERATELY ACCELERATING ONTO FREEWAY YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DECELERATED. ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK AND MOTOR RAN ROUGH. TURNED IGNITION OFF THEN BACK ON AND STARTED CAR. WARNING LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND MOTOR RAN FINE

THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BLEW THE FUSE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AND FORD HAS A SERVICE ADVISORY ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT CHARGE THE OWNER WITH MAKING THE CORRECTION TO THE DEFECTIVE WIRING. THEY DO NOT SIMPLY REPLACE THE MINI 10 AMP FUSE BUT INSTEAD REPLACE A PART OF THE WIRING AND RELOCATE IT TO A STANDARD 20 AMP FUSE. WHEN I EXPLAINED MY CONCERN ABOUT ENGINEERING A FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A 10 AMP RATING AND SWITCHING IT TO THE 20 AMP WHICH COULD ALLOW OTHER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM TO OVERLOAD HE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD DECIDED THIS WAS HOW THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I HAVE THE CONCERN OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM FAILING AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE FAILED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY AS HE HAD SEEN TOTAL MELT DOWNS OF FUSE PANELS FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS HAS COST ME $805 IN REPAIRS DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING DESIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, ONCE IN A PARKING LOT AND ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR AND DECELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER CEASED TO DISPLAY AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

MY TRUCK HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO IT PERIODICALLY BEGAN HAVING ISSUES LOSING POWER AND SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. INITIALLY, I PULLED OVER AND CUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. RECENTLY IT BEGAN TO DO IT MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. IT CAME BACK AS A PROBLEM WITH THE "LEAD FRAME MODULE" IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO SAID I MISSED OUT ON A RECALL OF THIS PROBLEM BY 2 MONTHS. (THE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WAS THROUGH APRIL OF 2013 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE OF 2013.) HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN PARSONS TN. I DID THIS AND ONCE AGAIN HAD THE SAME PROBLEM DIAGNOSED FOR ANOTHER $90 FEE. I WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $600 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. I MADE THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT THEY HAD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, WHICH WAS A WEEK LATER. MY APPOINTMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN TODAY, 8/23/2018, BUT THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY SAYING THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET ME IN UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I WENT AHEAD AND RESCHEDULED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. TODAY I WAS DRIVING IT AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND MY REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP. I LUCKILY DIDN'T WRECK BUT CAME VERY CLOSE. I CAME HOME AND BEGAN RESEARCHING THE LEAD FRAME ISSUE AND SAW MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN. I WAS NEVER TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MY TRUCK WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. I REALLY LIKE MY TRUCK BUT NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD IN GENERAL. I SEARCHED EX

TRUCK IS DOWN SHIFTING WHEN ON HIGHWAY, AT TIMES WILL NOT ACCELERATE, LOSES SPEEDOMETER INDICTATION, HAS A OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CODE. WHEN ACCELERATING TRUCK FROM STAND STILL HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE

FOR AWHILE NOW I'VE BEEN HEARING A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START MY TRUCK IN THE MORNING.. NEVER PAYED IT MUCH MIND UNTIL RECENTLY, I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE IT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESES TRUCKS. IT'S THE TIMMING CHAIN STRETCH.. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE ALSO VERIFIED THAT'S WHAT IT IS HE SAID HE SEEN THIS A LOT WITH THE OTHER FORDS. THEN I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, THE TRUCK HAS 65000 MILES, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE NOW, AND FROM WHAT I'M READING ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.. WAS WONDERING WHY FORD WILL NOT HONOR THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM?

DRIVING VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AT 45 TO 70 MPH TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO 1ST GEAR LOCKING UP REAR TIRES. NEARLY REAR ENDED ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LAST 3 WEEKS NO TROUBLE CODE CAME UP IN VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

SHIFTING INTO FIRST WHILE ON INTERSTATE. LOCKING UP REAR TIRES

I SHUT MY ENGINE OFF, DUMP TRASH AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE TURNED OVER, BUT NOT START. WAITED A FEW, MINUTES, STARTED UP. NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, GOT IT OFF THE ROAD, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, STARTED UP. BEFORE I COULD GET HOME, THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN. FINALLY RESTARTED IT GOT IT HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. AFTER WAITING 5 DAYS FOR REPAIR I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS AFTER READING 17 PAGES OF 56, I FOUND 11 INSTANCES THAT MIRROR MY PROBLEM. BURNT FUEL PUMP FUSE. HAD TO BE RELOCATED AT A COST OF $249.19. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN DRIVING 45 MPH OR MORE THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES STALL OR DOWNSHIFT AND SLOW DOWN VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND HESITATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM'S FORD LOCATED AT 200 NJ-35, KEYPORT, NJ 07735, (732) 264-1600, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ECM/TCM/PCM NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE RESET WAS PERFORMED AND THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL START OR GET STUCK IN 5TH GEAR EITHER FROM THE START OR DURING DECELERATION. ENGINE REVS, BUT FORWARD MOTION COMPROMISED. INTERMITTENT SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. GEAR INDICATOR AND TRAMSMISSION POSITION WILL DROP TO 1ST. THIS CAUSES THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO A SPIN. PAID FORD DEALERSHIP TO COMPLETE TSB LEAD FRAME REPAIR IN APRIL 2018. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. OPENCASE WITH FORD FLEET SERVICE 15493350-J0V7C7

BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO MASTER CYLINDER LEAKAGE INTO BRAKE BOOSTER

VEHICLE POWER SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ENGINE WOULD ONLY IDLE. ENGINE WOULD NOT REV UP TO A HIGHER RPMS. VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING TO A REPAIR CENTER. THE FOLLOWING 2 ISSUES WERE FOUND: 1. THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACED. 2. FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT WAS HEAT DAMAGED. THE REPAIR CENTER TOLD ME THEY ARE STARTING TO SEE MORE OF THESE TYPE OF ISSUES ON THESE VEHICLES. THE REPAIR CENTER MOVED THIS CIRCUIT AWAY FROM THE HEAT SOURCE CAUSING THE DAMAGE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN ISSUE WHICH COULD POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN THIRD GEAR, THE VEHICLE GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY SHIFTED TO FIFTH GEAR AND THEN TO FIRST GEAR WITH THE POWER TRAIN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED PERIODICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM'S FORD (200 NJ-35, KEYPORT, NJ 07735, (732) 264-1600), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THE BACK DOORS WILL LOCK AND U CAN'T UNLOCK THEN. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I'VE HAD BOTH BACK DOORS LOCK ON ME FOR 3 DAYS I COULD NOT OPEN EITHER. THAN THEY UNLOCK. I STILL HAVE THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCKED . SAFETY CONCERNS IF YOU WERE INVOLED IN A CRASH AND HAD PASSENGERS IN THE BACK THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL UNLOCK

RADIATOR FAN TURNS ON AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES OF VEHICLE RUNNING AND CONTINUES TO RUN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES. THE FAN TURNS ON REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO TURNS ON REGARDLESS THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE. THE ONLY CONSISTENT PIECE IS THE TIMING. THE TRUCK CAN BE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES FROM START AND WHILE DRIVING. SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS RANDOMLY. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, LOSE ALL DASH INFO, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO. AFTER READING CODE P0720 WITH SCANNER APPEARS TO BE LEADFRAME ISSUE AS RECALL FOR 2011, 2012 F150. MY TRUCK IS 2013 BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR MY TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED AND MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 3RD WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND SKID. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. I HAVE THE TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALER NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL ME BACK. I KNOW MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT INVOLVED WITH THE NATIONAL RECALL BUT I FELL LIKE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. AS DESCRIBED IN THE 2011-2012 RECALL.

LOST ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING.

TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING 65MPH. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO THEN BOUNCES ERRATICALLY.

REAR DEFROST BUTTON QUIT WORKING WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY HEATED SLIDING BACK GLASS AND HEATED MIRRORS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AND FUSE IS GOOD. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT ALL REPLACED IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD FREE OF CHARGE

THE BRAKES WERE SCRUBBING. DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT TOLD US IT WAS NOT IN A RECALL. THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THIS TRUCK AS WITH THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED. WHY WASN'T M Y TRUCK INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.
