2013 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE MOVING AT SPEED BELOW 10 MPH, BUT USING THE BRAKE AT TIMES, MY "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON AFTER DRIVING ONLY 200 YARDS. EVEN AFTER FILLING THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER, IT AGAIN CAME ON AFTER ONLY ABOUT 500 YARDS. I CAREFULLY TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE FORD RECALL #16S24. HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT AMONG THE RECALL LIST, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE THAT EXHIBITS THE IDENTICAL RECALL THAT FORD DESCRIBES.

SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL START OR GET STUCK IN 5TH EITHER FROM THE START OR DURING DECELERATION. ENGINE REVS, BUT FORWARD MOTION COMPROMISED. MORE CONCERNING IS THE INTERMITTENT DOWNSHIFTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED AND TURNS OFF, READS 0 RMP. GEAR INDICATOR AND TRAMSMISSION POSITION WILL DROP TO 1ST, GO BACK TO 5TH, AND WAVER ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THIS HAS EVEN LOCKED UP MY REAR WHEELS AT 70MPH. PRETTY SCARY! THIS HAS HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES NOW. THANKFULLY, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, GET TO THE SHOULDER, KILL THE ENGINE, RESTART AND GO. I WROTE THIS TODAY B/C I GOT A WRENCH LIGHT FINALLY, SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE.

~95% BRAKE POWER LOSS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND ONCE STARTED THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKE FUNCTION WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 5% OF NORMAL FUNCTION. REFILLED FLUID IN RESERVOIR AND ALL FLUID WAS LOST DURING FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 5% OF BRAKE POWER REMAINING AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED USING GEAR DOWNSHIFTS AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I CHECKED OVER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT FLUID LOSS IN THE ENGINE BAY OR THE BRAKE LINES. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A MASTER CYLINDER LEAK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS PROBLEM IS AN ACTIVE RECALL WITH 2013 AND 2014 MODEL YEAR F-150'S, HOWEVER MY MANUFACTURE DATE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING CAME ON AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING. WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. HAD IT TAKEN TO DEALER WAS TOLD THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING JUST GOING OUT. MILEAGE WAS 59845 MILES

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM HIGHER TO LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO SKID AND VEHICLE TO JERK. VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WITH RPM INDICATOR ON DASH SHOWING ENGINE REVVING AT OR ABOVE 1,500 TO 2,500 RPMS WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE RPMS WILL CLIMB TO 1,500 TO 2,000 AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO MOVE. THE WRENCH INDICATOR HAS COME ON 3 TIMES BUT GOES OFF IF VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT STORE ANY CODES TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT NO CODES WERE PRESENT AND VEHICLE DID NOT ACT UP WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. ALSO INFORMED BY DEALER THAT UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED DURING DIAGNOSTIC TEST FORD MOTOR WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED.

TSB 14-0017 INTERCOOLER HUMIDITY ISSUE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70 MPH. SPEEDOMETER STOPS FUNCTIONING AND INDICATES 0 MPH. ODOMETER INDICATES A SERIES OF DASHES "-------". THE TRANSMISSION SPEED REMAINS AT CONSTANT RPM REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO THROTTLE. INDICATOR FOR POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER/ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOMENTARILY APPEARS. DRIVER APPLIES PRESSURE TO THROTTLE AND HEARS THE ENGINE RESPONSE, BUT THERE'S NO APPARENT RESPONSE IN THE DRIVETRAIN. DRIVE COASTS OFF HIGHWAY AND SHIFTS FROM NEUTRAL BACK INTO DRIVE. IS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO A GEAR. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR AND SLOW DOWN. THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW A ROD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (WATERTOWN FORD CHRYSLER, 1600 9TH AVENUE SE, WATERTOWN, SD 57201, (605) 886-5844) WHO OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COMPLETED AND THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE. **TR *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR. ALSO, THE RPMS INCREASED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHILE IN MOTION, WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER BUCKLED IN, THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFTEN INDICATES THE AIR BAG IS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. DATE INDICATED BELOW DOES NOT AT ALL REFLECT THE NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED.

TRANSMISSION STARTED RANDOMLY SHIFTING. IN ONE CASE IT WENT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST AND LOCKED UP THE WHEELS. OBVIOUSLY THIS OCCURS WHEN CAR IS MOVING AND SHIFTING. LEAD FRAME OF THE TRANSMISSION IS WHAT WAS DEFECTIVE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH 93000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. 6TH TO 1ST SHIFT AT SPEED AND LOCKING UP THE WHEELS IS DEADLY.

WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, BRAKE WARNING ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WITH VIRTUALLY NO BRAKING ACTION. DEALER STATED BRAKE FLUID WENT INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER. SERVICE DOCUMENT ATTACHED.

SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, CRUISE CONTROL, BLINKER CONTROL, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTING QUITS WORKING. BELIEVE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME CAUSING THE PROBLEM LIKE IN THE 2011 AND 2012 F150'S.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH, A TRANSMISSION LINE APPARENTLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO RUST THROUGH. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED SMOKING DUE TO THE FLUID CONTACTING THE EXHAUST. THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE AND WITHIN SECONDS DROPPED TO 15 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 72,000 MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT WARRANT THIS ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS WAS SO COMMON, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER THROUGH FORD. THE TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP WAITING ON PARTS.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 50-60MPH THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 AND THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR AND THEN SHOOTS RIGHT BACK UP TO SIXTH GEAR. IT HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND STATE HIGHWAYS. ON ONE OCCASION THE SPEEDOMETER STAYED AT ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 45-50 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. EVEN WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK IT WAS STILL TELLING ME IT WAS IN 5TH GEAR. THIS CONDITION IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT A FAIRLY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS TOWING MY BOAT WHEN THIS SUDDEN DOWN SHIFT OCCURRED. MY TWO YOUNGEST CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME ON THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, WHICH MADE THE SITUATION MORE NERVE RACKING. MY DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR FORD F150'S 2011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS WITH THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. I THINK THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO 2013 MODELS AS THE SAME THING IS STILL OCCURRING IN THIS MODEL YEAR. I HAVE A VIDEO OF TWO OCCURRENCES IF YOU WOULD WANT ME TO SUBMIT IT BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I CAN ONLY UPLOAD PICTURES.

EXPERIENCING TIMING CHAIN RATTLE AT STARTUP (FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS, NOISE COMES FROM THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE), AS DESCRIBED IN TSB 16-0027, AFTER TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT OR LONGER THAN 8 HOURS. RATTLE IS DEFINITELY MECHANICAL SOUNDING AND SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO FALL APART.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED, AND THE RPM INCREASED, UNTIL THE ENGINE/CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING AND SLOWED DOWN, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEAREST EXIT, AND AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME IN IDLE, THE ENGINE REGAINED ITS NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND OPERATION. CHECKING CODES PULLED UP A P0302, INDICATING A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. NO ISSUES WERE FOUND WITH THE SPARK PLUGS, COIL OR CABLES FOR CYLINDER 2. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FAILURE THAT APPEARS TO BE AFFECTING OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TRUCK, AND COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR DEATH, IF THE ENGINE STALLS AT THE WRONG TIME.

TRUCK WOULD DROP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING, AND MOST GAUGES STOPPING WORKING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE I GOT A REPAIR. 2 OF THOSE TIMES WERE AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION CAME OUT OF 4TH OR 5TH AND JUMPED INTO 1ST GEAR, THROWING THE TRUCK AROUND A BIT. I HAPPENED TO BE SLOWING DOWN EACH OF THOSE TIMES AND IT DIDN'T BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. THE 3RD TIME WAS AT LEAST 60 MPH ON A FREEWAY, BUT THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION LUCKILY STAYED IN NEUTRAL, AND I COASTED TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME GAVE A DTC OF P07022. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK AFTER RESTARTING. THIS IS WHEN I STOPPED DRIVING THIS TRUCK UNTIL I COULD GET IT REPAIRED. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE LEAD FRAME CONNECTOR, BUT NOT THE ENTIRE LEAD FRAME. SHIFTING HAS BEEN A LITTLE WEIRD AFTER THAT, I MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN.

HARD SHIFT DOWN FROM HIGHER TO LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING. TRANSMISSION IS AN AUTOMATIC AND TRUCK WILL BE GOING 40-60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR, CAUSING RAPID DECLINE IS SPEED, TIRES TO LOCK UP, AND TRUCK WILL GO INTO "LIMP" MODE. YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AN ON AND LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE FOR IT TO CLEAR OUT. AT THE SAME TIME THE GAUGE PANEL WILL GO CRAZY AND START JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN SPEED AND RPM. WHEN FIXED THEY CHARGED FOR A GASKET, OIL, CONNECTOR, SCREEN ASY, TRANS KIT, AND OIL. THE NOTES FROM DEALERSHIP ARE: R+R VALVEBODY, OVERHAUL VALVEBODY AND REPLACE INTERNAL HARNESS, NEW FILTER AND GASKET, REFILL TRANS. APPROXIMATE COST $1400.00

A DRASTIC SHIFT FROM 5TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST &/OR A REDUCTION IN SPEED BROUGHT ABOUT BY BRAKING, WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING DOWNSHIFT. SO YOU EITHER GET SLAMMED FORWARD BY SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT, OR CREEP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN 5TH GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

ON 6-26 OF THIS YEAR 2018, WE GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO GO TO TUESDAY NIGHT CHURCH SERVICE. AND AS I WAS WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN, I PLACED MY TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS I DID, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE FOR REPAIR. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH NEW FORD PARTS BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE NOW WORKING FINE AGAIN FOR FEAR THEY COULD AGAIN FAIL AND SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR KILLED.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A MAIN ROAD THE TRUCK SPONTANEOUSLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO THIRD GEAR AND IF NOT FOR THE SEATBELT WOULD HAVE THROWN ME THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REVEALED A P0720 CODE AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND THE TRUCK IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY.

TRUCK SHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED AND ALL GAUGES SHUT OFF, ITS A 720 CODE, OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT, FORD HAD A RECALL THAT WENT TO MARCH OF 2012 AND MINE WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND YOU COULD LOOSE CONTROL AT ANYTIME WHEN IT START TO DOWN SHIFT WHEN GOING 70MPH

TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SHIFTS, SOMETIMES INTO 1ST GEAR EVEN AT 40 MPH. OCCASIONALLY, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, GEAR INDICATOR ALL DIE AND A YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY. MY RESEARCH INDICATES IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON I-75 THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED. FORTUNATELY THE COVER WAS SHUT OR GLASS WOULD'VE FLOWN INTO THE TRUCK. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS OR CARS NEARBY. THE PHOTOS SHOW THE GLASS EXPLODED OUT, NOT IN AS WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMETHING DROPPED ON IT FROM THE SKY. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB WENT OFF. THE SUNROOF IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED.

SPORADIC SHIFTING. TRANSMISSION AND/OR OIL PRESSURE CAUSES THE TRUCK TO COMPLETLY SHUT DOWN ON ME WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

NOT GETTING PROMISED MILEAGE. FOLDER SAYS 14 CITY AND 19 HWY. I GET 10.5 ON AVG. ONCE I GOT 14 ON HWY BY COASTING WHEN I COULD.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD F150 FX2 AND WHEN DRIVING THE PAST FEW DAYS, THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" SIGNAL CAME ON AND I AUTOMATICALLY LOSE POWER STEERING IN THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK BUT ALSO WHILE MOVING AND DRIVING ON THE ROAD (ROUGHLY 40 MPH). LUCKILY, I WAS ON A LOW TRAFFIC ROAD TO WHERE I COULD GET OVER HOWEVER, THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME, SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MANUALLY PULL THE STEERING WHEEL AND GET OFF THE ROAD AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF FORDS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AND ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE GEARS SHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CHARLIE HENDERSON FORD INC, 105 U S 90, WAVELAND, MS 39576, (228)-467-9005) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO ERRORS WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. **TR *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM FOURTH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR AND THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASIS FOR TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FUTURE FORD OF SACRAMENTO, 4625 MADISON AVE., SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, (916) 547-2285) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,200.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD GOING 40MPH. I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT ENDED UP BEING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

TRUCK HAS STALLED MANY TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG,BUT IT STILL STALLS. IT'S HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY,COUNTY STREET ,CITY STREET . IT STARTED MARCH OF 2018 TRUCK HAS 50,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.

TIMING CHAIN WENT BAD I HERE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOT F150 2013

UNABLE TO TAKE LUG NUTS OFF WHEEL DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR.

TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT FOR NO REASON. ALSO SOMETIMES IT WOULD TRY TO START OFF IN THE WRONG GEAR. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON RESETS THE ISSUES, BUT IT COME BACK. DEALER FIXED THE ISSUE, AROUND $1000.

TRUCK SHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR FROM FOURTH AND FIFTH GEARS AND BACK WHEELS LOCK UP HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS

ONCE THE TRUCK IS IDLING, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS A WRENCH LOGO IS DISPLAYED AND ALL THE TACH GAUGES TURN OFF AND THE ACCELERATION IS SLUGGISH. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK DOESN'T LEAVE 1ST GEAR OR IT'LL BOUNCE AROUND GEARS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON, EVERYTHING CAN GO RIGHT BACK TO NORNAL. HAVING THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC OR WORSE. MANY REPORTS ARE MADE ON THE INTERNET'S AND I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL. FUNNY HOW THE 2011-12 MODELS HAVE AN OASIS ON IT BUT NOT THE 2013 GRANTED IT'S PLAGUED BY THE SAME ISSUE.

FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FUSE BURNED OUT (FUSE #27) AND TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING WHILE ON FREEWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FAMILY FORD (30 NJ-183, NETCONG, NJ) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE THAT CONNECTED TO THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REWIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO FUNCTION, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, AND THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY DOWNSHIFTED. THE DEALER (GRAND LEDGE FORD, 6080 E SAGINAW HWY, GRAND LEDGE, MI 48837, 517- 627-8100) STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

TRUCK WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH RANDOMLY DISENGAGING FROM CRUISE CONTROL, LOSS OF POWER FROM A STOP, AND ERRATIC DOWNSHIFTING. ON THE HIGHWAY THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE, SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO TO 0 THEN BACK TO ITS ACTUAL SPEED. FROM A STOP SIGN/STOP LIGHT, WHEN THE LIGHT WOULD TURN GREEN THE TRUCK WOULD SPIT AND SPUTTER, SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, RPM WOULD GO UP BUT NO POWER. WHEN CRUISING AROUND 45MPH TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO REASON CAUSING A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, THIS HAPPENED TWICE CONSECUTIVELY. TOOK IS TO SIMMONS ROCKWELL TO GET IT DIAGNOSED, AFTER I HAD ALREADY RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND KNEW WHAT IT WAS, AND THEY REPLACED THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THEY HAD THAT CAUSED THE RECALL ON THE 2011/2012 MODELS. THE REPAIR COST WAS @ $500. I WAS JUST READING AN ARTICLE WHICH STATED THAT THE NHTSA MAY ORDER ANOTHER RECALL WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THE 2013 MODEL.

WHILE DRIVING OUR FORD F 150 WE EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE LOSS WHERE THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO STOPPING. WHEN BRAKE FLUID WAS CHECKED THE WAS NONE, NOR WAS THERE A LEAK OR ANY SIGN OF A LEAK. THE F 150 WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT SEE ANY SIGN OF A LEAK. HE ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS DISAPPEARING ABOUT AS FAST AS HE WAS PUTTING IT IN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND MECHANIC WHICH WAS ULTIMATELY THE SAME OUTCOME, ADDED FLUID, FLUID DRAINED, NO LEAK AND STILL NO BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE HE TOLD US THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND OUR TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. OUR TRUCK IS A 2013 VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE DEARBORN PLANT IN MICHIGAN. I STILL HAVE THE STICKER FROM THE TRUCK WHEN WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP GENESEE VALLEY FORD IN AVON, NY. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY. THE MECHANIC SHOPS THAT LOOKED AND WITNESSED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE BRAKES WENT OUT ARE BEECHES AUTOMOTIVE IN LEICESTER, NY AND AL'S AUTOMOTIVE IN LEICESTER, NY. THE CURRENT COST TO FIX THIS IS NORTH OF $400 AND THE DEALERSHIP IS ORDERING PARTS FOR IT NOW. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SINCE IT IS THE SAME REASON THAT FORD HAD TO RECALL THE OTHERS. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM THE SON OF THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. MY MOTHER MELODY CHEST IS THE OWNER AND THE DRIVER. I AM HANDLING THIS INCIDENT FOR HER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PU

ENGINE STALLS OUT PERIODICALLY. VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHILE IN MOTION NOT SITTING STILL. THIS IS THE ECO BOAST 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. HAS BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS WITH OTHERS BUT FORD STILL WON'T ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES. IT HAS 89350 MILES ON IT. I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE PLUGS & BOOTS THIS WEEKEND BUT I'M SURE THAT WILL NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM. FORD IS BEING STUBBORN ON RECALLS. HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS HURT IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY ISSUE THE RECALL. THANKS NHTSA.
