2013 Ford F-150 complaints

TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING ERRATICALLY. DROPPING SEVERAL GEARS FOR NO REASON. GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN SLOWLY DEGRADING OVER THE LAST YEAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS OVER REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OFTEN SMELLS BURNT.

MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS NOT WORKING. AT A STOP OR LOWER SPEEDS IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN OR CONTROL. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

SEVERAL TIMES MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH. THIS CAUSED MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE PULLING MY UTV TRAILER ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE BECAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE, AND AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE.

ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING,ALL POWER TO STEERING IS LOST. IF I CAN'T DRIVE OFF THE ROAD IT IS STUCK ON TRAFFIC. FORD KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE LOSS OFF ENGINE POWER AND MUST BUY A RELOCATION FIX KIT TO FIX THE ISSUE.

STARTED ABOUT 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED, VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TIL THE NEXT WEEK. THEN WAS TAKING OFF AT A LIGHT AND IT HAD NO PICK UP. TOOK INTO SHOP, NO CODES IN COMPUTER, TOPPED OFF TRANSMISSION FLUID. $97. FOLLOWING WEEK WENT TO PASS A VEHICLE AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. BROUGHT BACK TO SHOP. STILL NO CODE, BUT THEY CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL SYSTEM FLUSH. $440. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RPM UP TO 3000, WOULD NOT CHANGE IF I PRESSED ON GAS OR NOT, TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM 1-3 IN RANDOM ORDER. FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE LOCKING UP. DRIVING 50 MPH, RPM TO 5000, SPEEDOMETER FROM 50 TO ZERO BACK TO 50, BRAKES LOCK UP. PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF TRUCK, RESTARTED NO PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER I BOUGHT FROM, NO CODES COULD NOT HELP. TOOK TO FORD DEALER, SAID TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME NEEDS REPAIR $900, AND MAIN REAR SEAL LEAKING BADLY. NEVER WAS I LOW ON OIL OR HAD AN OIL SPOT. LOOKED UP ONLINE SEVERAL HUNDRED OF SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. NO RECALL. FORD SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE WARRANTY IS UP AND IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM NOW.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED FROM HIGHER GEAR TO A LOWER GEAR FOR NO REASON. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE UNABLE TO DECIDE WHAT GEAR IT SHOULD BE IN AFTER STOPPING AT RED LIGHT. TRANSMISSION WOULD BE IN A HIGH GEAR AND ALMOST UNABLE TO TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND CRANKING UP AGAIN IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE. THEN WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE ROAD I ATTEMPTED TO GO AND MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY MOVE, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE BECAUSE MY TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO THE PROPER GEAR AND TAKE OFF AS DESIGNED TO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I MAY GO TO TAKE OFF AND NOT BE ABLE TO AND GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I ALSO AM AFRAID I MAY BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION JUMP INTO A LOWER GEAR AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND HAVE A WRECK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM TO HAVE.

2013 FORD F150 PURCHASE 2 YRS AGO WITH 51K IN MILES. THE DEALER HAD INSTALLED NEW BREAKS AND ROTORS. THE OTHER DAY I STARTED HEARING A BAD BREAK NOISE SO I TOOK A LOOK. THE OUTSIDE PADS STILL HAD ENOUGH PAD ON THEM TO SEE. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE DAY SO THE NEXT DAY I ORDERED PADS AND ROTORS. FROM THE TIME I LEFT MY HOUSE TAKING NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO THE TIME I GOT BACK I WENT FROM BREAK NOISE TO ONLY AN EMERGENCY BREAK. I TAKE OFF THE PASSENGER TIRE TO FIND BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE. I OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE THE RESERVOIR EMPTY. I REMOVE THE CALIPER TO FIND THERE IS NO INNER BREAK PAD, NOT EVEN A STEEL PLATE? THE CALIPER PISTON HAD HIT THE ROTOR AND MELTED A BIT. IN ALL MY YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF A BREAK PAD COMING LOOSE FROM THE HOLDER. I FOUND THE STEEL PLATE THE PAD ATTACHES TO STUCK IN THE SHROUD. GOT IT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THAT MUCH THINNER THAN A NEW ONE. SO I GET TO LOOKING INTO IT AND READ LOTS OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE FRONT PADS. I ALSO FIND OUT ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK TOGETHER AND PARK IT. CHECK THE MAIL BOX TO FIND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT. I GET THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND AM TOLD FORD WILL ONLY COVER THE MASTER CYLINDER. NOW THERE ARE NO NOISE INDICATORS ON THE BRAKE PADS TO TELL YOU OF WARE ANYMORE. AND WHY DID THE PLATE COME OUT OF THE HOLDER. I AM THANKFUL I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRANDSON. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 31K MORE MILES

THE SEATBELTS IN THIS VEHICLE HAVE CONSTANTLY GONE BAD THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED OUT AND REPLACED AND THEY'RE CONTINUING TO GO BAD THEY DON'T MAKE FULL CONTACT THEY DON'T CLICK ALL THE WAY AND IT'S $200 TO REPLACE EACH SEAT BELT EVERY TIME THEY GO BAD AND FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE HAVE GONE BAD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION ALEX PLEASE STOP

IN JAN 2017 AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE CAUSED VEHICLE TO 'STALL' AND ENTER "LIMP HOME" MODE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65MPH. THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED, SHUTTERED & STUMBLED INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE WITH THE WRENCH SYMBOL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IN JAN 2017. THE VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING SIMILAR BUT LESS SEVERE PROBLEMS (SPUTTER & STUMBLE/HESITATION) IN JULY 2017, AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY THROUGH NOW. CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN OR SYSTEMIC PROBLEM, BUT IT IMPACTS DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY, ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING A TRAILER.

TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED. SEEMS LIKE IT IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR. ODO READS ------, AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. WHEN I TURN ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON, IT OPERATES NORMAL FOR A FEW MILES. WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY SEMI THIS MORNING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN I PULLED INTO INTERSECTION.

WITH A HARD ACCELERATION THE TRUCK BLOGGED DOWN & THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF SO I PULLED IT DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR & IT TOOK OFF AGAIN. STILL SPUTTERS LIKE THERE IS WATER IN THE GAS OR SOMETHING. LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. PRETTY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER WHAT SO EVER. PRETTY SCARY. I READ THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATION. WHY HAS FORD TAKEN CARE OF THIS AS A RECALL?

5 PLUS INSTANCES OF NOTICEABLE GEAR SHIFT SHUDDERING DURING BOTH UP AND DOWNSHIFTING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE AT CRUISING SPEEDS ABOVE 25+ MPH. A FEW OTHER INSTANCES THE SPEEDOMETER WAS OBSERVED MOVING RAPIDLY AND ERRATICALLY WHILE ON A HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. MORE RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION PERFORMED A SIGNIFICANT HARD DOWN SHIFT I NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE AND WAS NOT EXPECTING. ALL ISSUES WERE OBSERVED BEGINNING JANUARY 2018. TRUCK BROUGHT TO DEALER 4/10/2018, COURTESY FORD BREAUX BRIDGE, LA.

CAR SWITCHES INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR RANDOMLY. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STAYED IN 1ST GEAR. ALL OF THE GAUGES DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER.. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND IT RAN NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 5TH AND ALL THE GAUGES DIED. LATER THAT DAY, IT WENT INTO 3RD GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY 900$ TO FIX SOMETHING TBAT IS ALREADY RECALLED FOR 2012 BUT NOT MY 2013. SAME TRANSMISSIONS AND SAME ISSUE.

135,987 MI. 2013 FORD F 150 ECONOBOOST POWERSTEERING ASSIT WENT OUT! NOTICE A TRACTION FAULT COUPLE DAYS AGO AND IT WENT AWAY AFTER I SHUT OFF MY TRUCK. THE STEERING NEVER DID THIS AND IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN! AND THEN WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT TURNING OUT TO THE INTERSECTION NO POWER STEERING???? JUST LAST YEAR I HAD TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WOULD GO LIMP WHILE DRIVING! WHY ISN'T THERE A RECAL ON THE STEERING FOR THIS YEAR?

AT 42K MILES, FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE TRASHED. NOW AT 80K MILES, FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE TRASH AGAIN. TOO SOON FOR MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURE. ALL THE WHILE, BRAKE FLUID WOULD DISAPPEAR AND HAD TO BE FILLED 3-4 TIMES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NOT APPARENT LEAKS WITHIN THE SYSTEM

76000 MILES. POWER STEERING LOST. LIMPED TO THE FORD GARAGE AND AFTER 2 HOURS WAS TOLD THE POWER ASSIST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED - $1900.00!! REALLY? 2014 MODELS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT HAD A RECALL. WHY NOT THE 2013'S? FIRST TIME EVER AFTER OWNING MANY VEHICLES THAT I'VE HAD AN EXPENSE LIKE THIS. FORD? NO MORE!! I COULD HAVE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN KILLED.

VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 MPH CAUSING REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND SKID. DTC CODES P0720 AND P0722 INDICATE FAULTY TRANSMISSION SENSOR. EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH MY 2013 FORD F-150 DOWNSHIFTED FROM SIXTH GEAR TO FORTH CAUSING THE TRUCK TO QUICKLY DECELERAT DOWN TO 47 MPH. THANK GOD THE SEATBELT WORKED AND THAT NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. FORD CALLED AND SAID IT WAS MY TIMING CHAIN AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,200 + TAX. DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I'VE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A MULTIPLE TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM YET MY FORD DEALER WHERE I GET MY MAINTAINED NEVER MENTIONED IT. SO MY WARRANTY RAN OUT AND I AM ON THE HOOK TO THE $3,200+ TAX WHEN THEY KNEW THAT AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM EXISTED.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED (AT 65MPH ON HWY) FROM 6TH TO 3RD TO 1ST GEAR ALL BY ITSELF.

76000 MILES. DRIVING HOME AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING. LUCKILY CLOSE TO THE DEALERSHIP. LIMPED IN AND THEY GOT IT RIGHT IN. THE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY CHECKED IT FOR OVER AN HOUR. FINALLY, THEY SAID THE EPAS SYSTEM HAS FAILED AND IT COSTS $1900 TO REPLACE IT!

THE LINES ON MY BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, BUT THE CAMERA STILL WORKS

WITHOUT WARNING MY REAR WHEELS & DRIVETRAIN LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AND I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER AT AROUND 35 MPH TO AVOID BEING IN TRAFFIC. AS THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURING, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 MPH AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IN THE CLUSTER SHOWED ALL DASHES. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH AS VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND TRANSMISSION CAN SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AT HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R80 FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME TYPE OF 6R80 MOLDED LEAD FRAME DEFECT PROBLEM REPORTED IN PREVIOUS F150 MODEL YEARS. UPON CONTACTING DEALERSHIP THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE BEFORE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH P0722 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. A SIMPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON A $100 PART SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS REACTION. SEE FORD TSB 13-4-9 AND 13-2-3 AND RECALL #16V248000 THAT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2013 F-150'S TOO.

MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AS I MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN MANUNEVER. MY VEHICLE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AT AROUND 10 MPH AND MY VEHICLE HIT THE BRIDGE CURBING. LUCKILY I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THAT INTERSECTION AS IT CAME TO A STOP. I DID NOTICE THAT ME VEHICLE LOST IT SPEEDOMETER WHICH TRIGGER THE BAD EVENT.

HAD 22 MILES TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW BUT IT WAS NOT THAT COLD OUTSIDE AND I ONLY HAD THE REAR DEFROST ON WHEN WE FIRST LEFT WORK AND HEADED OUT. DEFROSTER TIMES OUT AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES SO IT WAS OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE PANEL POPS AND CRACKS. I EVEN HAD THE REAR WINDOW OPEN A WEE BIT SO I COULD PUSH MORE AIR THROUGH THE CAB TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD BETTER.. WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT, I THOUGHT A TREE BRANCH HIT THE TOP OF THE ROOF. BUT THE NOISE SOUNDED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN SOME OBJECT HITTING THE TRUCK. THE DRIVER REAR PANEL IS SHATTERED BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER GLASS PANELS. DEFINITELY AROUND THE HEATING ELEMENT WIRES AND THE PANEL IS STILL INTACT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

2013 FORD F-150 STX WITH 45K MILES-- STEERING SUDDENLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND WOULD BRIEFLY FREEZE UP WHEN CITY DRIVING, MOVING AT 20-40 MPH. I TOOK IT TO WOLTZ AND WIND FORD AND FOUND OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAD ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING.AN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $428.FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TYPE OF STEERING THAT CAN LEAD UP TO TOTAL STEERING FAILURE AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I NOW AM QUESTIONING WHETHER TO KEEP THIS TRUCK THAT COULD COST ME $2000 TO FIX WHEN THE RACK NEEDS REPLACED OR POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED SO WHY HAS THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THIS TRUCK NOT BEEN RECALLED?

I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TWICE. THE SECOND DOWNSHIFT REVVED THE ENGINE VERY HIGH CAUSING A QUICK JERK AT THE FAIRLY HIGH SPEED. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 6000 FT ON A TWO LANE STRAIGHT MOUNTAIN ROAD. HAD THIS OCCURRED A FEW DAYS EARLIER WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE, I WOULD HAVE SURELY LOST CONTROL AND COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH THE LARGE BOULDERS OR HUGE PINE TREES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.

TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK STARTED SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO LOST POWER WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND ALL GAUGES ZEROED OUT. TOOK TO VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY ADVISED WAS A PO722 TRANS LEAD FRAME ISSUE. THE SAME ISSUE FORD HAS HAD WITH 2011 AND 2012 TRUCKS. PAID $800 TO HAVE IT FIXED WHILE OWNERS OF 2011 AND 2012 FORDS ARE HAVING THEIR SAME ISSUE FIXED FOR FREE.
