2013 Ford F-150 complaints

HARD STEERING CONTROL

TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY SHIFTS INTO 3RD GEAR AND STAYS STUCK IN 3RD. NO POWER AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPEN BOTH AT A STOP LIGHT AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE THROTTLE CONTROL. KEN GARFF FORD IN SAINT GEORGE, UTAH 84770 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE ECM BOARD IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED NO PLACE IN THE CARFAX EVEN SHOW'S WHEN CONSUMER BROUGHT IT IN TO SERVICE.

COMPLETE POWER ASSIST STEERING FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET, I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, CAUSING THE DRIVER (MYSELF) TO VIRTUALLY LOSE ALL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.. I COULD ONLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE STEERING AND BRING IT TO A STOP BY USING EXTREME PHYSICAL STRENGTH TO MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE.. IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE SHE "WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE" AND, WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY LOST STEERING CONTROL... I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.... UPON RESEARCHING THIS FAULT, I HAVE FOUND CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 FORD F150 AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS... FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 FOR THIS FAULT, BUT NOT FOR 2013 VEHICLES... LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING WHILE DRIVING THIS SIZE OF VEHICLE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION TO FIND YOURSELF IN AND, MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS!! MY OPINION IS THAT FORD ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS STEERING FAULT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ISSUED A PARTIAL RECALL AND, THEY WANT ALL OLD STEERING RACKS THAT ARE REPLACED, SENT BACK TO THEM! I REQUESTED THE OLD STEERING RACK THAT WAS BEING REPLACED, BE RETURNED TO ME... HOWEVER, FORD INDICATED A $400 CORE CHARGE WOULD BE BILLED TO ME TO FOR KEEPING THE OLD PART! FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A BROADER RECALL REGARDING THIS FAULT ON F150'S BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE SHIFTER COULD NOT BE PLACED IN THE CORRECT POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE, IT HAD TO BE MANUALLY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARSHALL FORD LINCOLN (4200 E END BLVD S, MARSHALL, TX); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAZARD LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ELECTRONIC BREAKS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS RAINING SLIGHTLY AND THE ROADS WERE WET. FIRST INCIDENT OF THIS HAPPENING, THE SYNC SYSTEM/ TOUCH SCREEN HAS FROZE AND NOT WORKED BOTH IN MOTION, AND STATIONARY 3 TIMES. CONCERNED THAT ALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES MAY BE RELATED. HAVE OWNED USED VEHICLE FOR 50 DAYS, JUST WENT OVER 60,000 MILES.

61,000 MILES POWER STEERING FAILED IN MOTION FAULT ON STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NOT SOLD HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE STEERING RACK $2000.00 NOW IN MOTION TRANSMISSION FAULT CODE P7031 FIRST GEAR SYNC WILL NOT SHIFT FROM SECOND TO FIRST WITHOUT BUCKING. DEALER SAYS TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN APART THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY

MULTIPLE SEVERE TRANSMISSION ISSUES: 1. SUDDENLY DROPPING FROM 4TH TO 1ST GEAR, CAUSING SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED, SCREECHING OF TIRES, AND PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE TO BE THROWN FORWARD. 2. ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP AND START TO JUMP BETWEEN APPROX 15 MPH AND 65 MPH; THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A VERY LARGE CLUNKING SOUND. 3. VEHICLE STAYS IN TOO HIGH GEAR. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION RUN IN HIGHER GEAR THAN SHOULD BE; NOISE AND VIBRATIONS CAN BE HEARD/FELT IN VEHICLE. 4. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND SHIFT INTO PROPER GEAR FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ENGINE REVS HIGH, BUT TRUCK BARELY MOVES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE (1ST ISSUE NOTED). IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS THROUGH INTERNET SEARCHES. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEIR STANDARD DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT PICK UP THE ISSUE, BUT WHEN THEY CONTACT ESCALATED SERVICE ENGINEERS FROM CORPORATE THEY TELL THE DEALER TO TRY A FEW OTHER TRICKS TO SEE IF IT IS WHAT THEY SUSPECT. THERE IS A KNOWN FLAW THAT THEY WILL NOT PUBLISH. THIS REPAIR IS SUPPOSEDLY THE WIRING HARNESS AND LEAD FRAME THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HAVE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER 7 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND FINALLY AFTER THEM KEEPING THE TRUCK FOR 3 WEEKS THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE. CUSTOMERS SERVICES SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME BUT THEY WILL MAKE NOTE OF THE CONCERN. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS AND I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY MORE INFO YOU NEED. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING T

ON A TRIP, SEPTEMBER 20TH GOING TO THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS, OUR 2013 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WE WERE ON MILE MARKER 295 EASTBOUND ON INTERSTATE 40, IN THE LEFT SIDE PASSING LANE GOING ABOUT 55 MPH UP A HILL. THE ENGINE STOPPED WITH NO WARNING. THE DASH SCREEN FLASHED A PICTURE OF A WRENCH AND THEN SAID "LOW OIL PRESSURE." THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SHOWED NO PRESSURE. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN. AS I TRIED TO NAVIGATE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHILE ON A HILL, MANY SEMI-TRUCKS SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES TRYING TO AVOID MY TRUCK PULLING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER. WE MIRACULOUSLY AVOIDED A POSSIBLE MAJOR ACCIDENT. ULTIMATELY WE LEARNED IT WAS A SMALL $0.50, NUMBER 27, 20 AMP FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP. WE WERE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 2 HOURS UNTIL WE COULD GET A TOW TRUCK FOR BOTH OUR TRUCK AND 5TH WHEEL. FORD IS AWARE OF FUSE 27 (FOR FUEL PUMP) FREQUENTLY MELTING. THEY EVEN HAVE A RELOCATION KIT TO MOVE THE FUSE WHEN IT MELTS DUE TO OVERHEATING BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION. IN OUR CASE THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING SEMI TRUCKS.

HARD JUMPY BRAKING. IT WILL SOMETIMES NOT STOP AT ALL OR IT WILL STOP REALLY HARD. THE MECHANIC SAYS THERE WAS A LEAK AND THE VACUUM MOTOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN ANY TIME MOVING SLOWLY AT HOME OR IN TOWN OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE PAST MONTH.

WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING INTO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SUDDENLY LOCK UP. APPEARS TO BE SAME ISSUE THAT AFFECTED 2011-2012 F150 TRUCKS THAT WAS ADDRESSED WITH RECALL 16V-248.

25000 MILES. HAVE TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES, RIGHT FRONT CALIPER STICKING. ROTORS, PADS, CALIPER, AND HOSE ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. NORMAL DRIVING NO TOWING OR HEAVY LOADS. A KNOWN PROBLEM TO FORD AND DEALERS. FORD THINKS IT'S NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. SINCE WHEN ARE LOW MILEAGE BRAKE FAILURES NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM? HUGE EXPENSE. FORD NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE. FORTUNATELY THIS WAS CAUGHT WHEN TIRES WERE ROTATED. NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE.

FORTUNATELY, WE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM AVOIDING HURRICANE IRMA AFTER 1100 MILES. A BATTERY INDICATOR CAME ON AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WENT AWAY UNTIL 3 INTERSECTIONS AND TURNS WHEN I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC ON 66TH ST N ST. PETERSBURG FL AND QUICKLY LOST POWER. A MESSAGE APPEARED ON PANEL TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A LEFT TURN LANE AND HAD IT TOWED TO CLOSEST FORD DEALER THAT WAS OPEN, WALKER FORD. SEE REPAIR INVOICE ATTACHED. I WAS FORTUNATE IN THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN HIGH SPEED MERGE ATTEMPT BETWEEN HEAVY TRUCKS! AS THE REPAIR SEEMINGLY ONLY RELOCATES THE FUSE AND DOES NOT ADDRESS REOCCURRENCE, I BELIEVE THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE AND CONTINUES TO BE A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE!

THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS LOSING BRAKE FLUID THAT IS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES. WE WERE INFORMED, BY OUR GOODYEAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WE DO NOT HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP, THAT THERE IS A RECALL# 16S24 FOR FORD F-150 2013-2014 TRUCKS WITH THIS SPECIFIC AND EXACT ISSUE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, HOWEVER OUR TRUCK WAS MADE ON JULY 18 AND THE RECALL DATE IS FOR VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN AUG 1-AUG 31. I FEEL THIS IS A CASE OF COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S PART, AS OUR VEHICLE IS THE SAME MAKE, YEAR, MODEL AND DISPLAYING THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL IS FOR, YET THEY SAY IT DOES NOT FALL IN THEIR RECALL DETAILS, SO IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE, HAVE A RECALL OUT, BUT BECAUSE OURS WAS TECHNICALLY MADE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE AUG 1ST CUTOFF DATE, THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND IT IS NOW OUR OUT OF POCKET RESPONSIBILITY. I AM COMPLETELY BESIDE MYSELF ON THE NEGLIGENCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY WE ARE EXPERIENCING AND RECEIVING FROM FORD/THE FORD RECALL DEPARTMENT.

AFTER PARKING THE TRUCK, I CAME OUT AND IT WOULD NOT START, HAD IT TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP, WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS A BURNED WIRING TO THE FUSE FOR POWER TO INJECTORS. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS. BUT STILL IT COST ME $300.00

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE "POWER STEERING" AND "DEFAULT IMMEDIATELY SERVICE" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,460.

ON FIRST OCCURANCE, TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE LOST POWER, GAGES ZEROED OUT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER NAD RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT RAN FINE AND ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED. MULTIPLE LOSS OF POWER OCCURANCES. DOES NOT THROW A CODE WHEN DIAGNOSTICS ARE RAN. TONIGHT, WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, WHILE ACCELERATING, TRUCK LOST ALL ACCELERATION, ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RESTARTED THE TRUCK, GAGES DID NOT START WORKING UNITL TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF A SECOND TIME BUT THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEABLE. ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE AS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, HOWEVER THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT NO RECALLS WHERE ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000.

WHEN BACKING UP, MY REARVIEW SENSOR DID NOT SOUND AND WE HIT A PALM TREE, WHICH DAMAGED THE TAILGATE, SENSOR (MORE THAN ALREADY). NORMALLY, THIS BACKUP SENSOR WILL SOUND WHEN ANYTHING IS IN THE WAY OR EVEN CLOSE. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE ADVANCE TRACK FAILURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE LOCAL DEALER (ALL STAR FORD, 2586 RANGE PARK DR, DENHAM SPRINGS, LA, 70726) STATED THEY WOULD DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AND CONTACT THE OWNER BACK WITH THE DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHILE COMING OFF THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE IN FRONT OF A SEMI I INCREASED MY THROTTLE TO MERGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUTTER AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AS SOON AS I PULLED IN FRONT OF THE SEMI. PULLED OVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURNED TRUCK OFF TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE LIGHT. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RUN AFTER TURNING TRUCK OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND EXHIBITED AN UNEVEN AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT: GARY SMITH FORD, 1 BEALE PKWY, FORT WALTON, FL, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER TO THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 93,000.

ON SEPT. 1ST 2017 I STARTED MY 2013 F150 XLT 4X4 WITH APPROX. 93,000 MILES AND RECEIVED A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT, IT HAS SINCE BEEN INTERMITTENT. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE AROUND 1300.00 FOR THE REPAIR.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW MY VEHICLE STALLED AFTER VIOLENTLY SHAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD A COMPLETE POWER LOSS. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ONE THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR 26 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY ISSUES. BACK IN 2013 AN INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CARS COMPUTERS DID NOT THROW A CODE. NOT ONLY DID NOTHING HAPPEN FORD DID NOT MENTION ANY TSB THAT WOULD HELP OR FIX THIS ISSUE, AFTER I ASKED ABOUT ANY TSB THAT WOULD HELP OR FIX. STILL I GOT NOTHING FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

BATTERY VOLTAGE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, TRUCK ENGINE DIED WHILE SLOWING DOWN ON HIGHWAY TO EXIT. RESTARTED AFTER SITTING BRIEFLY.. WHEN TRYING TO START ON ANOTHER DAY, STARTER WOULD SPIN BUT WOULDN'T START. AFTER DEALER CHANGED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR, PROBLEM CONTINUED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. NOTED MELTED FUSE FOR FUEL PUMP RELAY. INSTALLED KIT TO REPOSITION FUSE AND WIRE FOR FUEL RELAY PUMP.

I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY (ABOUT 4.7 MILES) UPON ARRIVAL THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, AFTER PUMPING THE H$LL OUT OF THEM I BARELY STOPPED BEFORE CRASHING INTO A GROUP OF CARS. COME TO FIND OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER IS BLOWING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER ON EACH PRESS OF THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DEADLY IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT I WAS GOING VERY SLOW TO BEGIN WITH DUE TO TRAFFIC. NOW WHY, AFTER NOT EVEN 30K MILES WOULD THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE HAPPEN?

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. TRIED BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. VERY HARD PEDAL THAT COULD NOT BE PRESSED ON WITHOUT NOISES COMING THE BRAKES. STOPPED VEHICLE WITH EBRAKE AND TOOK TO LOCALE FORD DEALER. DISCOVERED THAT VACUUM PUMP LOCKED UP CAUSING THE EXAUST CAM TO BREAK INTO PCS INSIDE THE MOTOR. HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR DUE TO THE VACUUM PUMP ISSUE.

RADIO STOPS WORKING CAUSING THE HANDS FREE PHONE, CLOCK, AND EVERYTHING ON THE MICROSOFT SYNC CONTROL PANEL TO STOP WORKING. FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS STATIONARY. DEALER SUGGESTED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO RESET EVERYTHING WHICH WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING.

BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS SINCE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. CAR WOULD LOSE POWER, CHOKE AND TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE AND SHIFTS GEARS RANDOMLY. IT SEEMS TO BE LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. PARKED ON THE SIDE, PUT IT IN P AND THEN D AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. MAY 2017 - BROUGHT THE TRUCK FOR INSPECTION AT CLOSEST FORD DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND THOUGHT RESETTING THE COMPUTER WOULD SOLVE IT. JULY 2017 - BROUGHT BACK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER. THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE BUT FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS LOW THEREFORE FILLED IT UP. JULY 2017 - STILL HAVING THE ISSUE, LEAVING THE TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALER FOR ONE WEEK... THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM... TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AUGUST 2017 - DROVE ONE MONTH WITHOUT MAJOR CHOCKING. WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 100KM/H AND THE VEHICLE WENT CRAZY DOWNSHIFTING AND LOCKED THE REAR WHEELS, CARS BEHIND ALMOST HIT ME... ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL AT THE NEXT EXIT AND CALL THE TOWING. IT COULD'VE BEEN WORST... TRUCK IS NOW AT MY LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THERE'S NO WAY I'M TAKING BACK THE CAR BEFORE THEY FIX IT AUGUST 15, 2017 - LOCAL FORD HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING RANDOMLY INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. THE CULPRIT WAS THE LEAD FRAME PART #AL3Z7G276B. UPON INVESTIGATION THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT FOR 2010-2012 FORDS.. WELL WELL... I WAS STILL ALL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOPEFULLY, NO ISSUE WILL EVER COME BACK!

WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS, WE HAVE LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. A LARGE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. WE HAVE TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER BY COASTING TO THE SIDE, PUT THE ROUGH RUNNING TRUCK IN PARK, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, WAIT, AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK FOR THE ACCELERATION TO WORK AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 2 X'S IN THE LAST YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT INTERMITTENTLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE IT AND IT DOES NOT COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CODE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP US WITH THE ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AFTER LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES HAPPENING WITH OTHERS OUT THERE. THEY STATED THERE IS NOT A RECALL AND BASICALLY I NEEDED TO JUST KEEP TRYING AT THE DEALERSHIP LEVEL. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN. WHEN THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT, "STEERING FAULT" ILLUMINATED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER AND THE STEERING ABILITY BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DELTAVILLE AUTO AND MARINE IN DELTAVILLE, VIRGINIA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK FAILED. ALSO, ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND "BRAKE FLUID LOW" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. THE CONTACT ADDED 3/4 OF A QUARTER OF BRAKE FLUID, BUT BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE PARKING LOT, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE LEAKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,871.

TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS. ERROR CODE IS P2112. THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I HAVE INSTALLED 3 THROTTLE BODIES DURING OWNERSHIP. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER DURING DRIVING. ENGINE STUTTERS, CONTINUES TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY, WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A RV TRAILER AS WELL AS NORMAL DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO EXPERIENCE.

FUSE #27 FOR THE FUEL PUMP IS BURNING UP ON ONE SIDE. ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WILL NOT RESTART FOR A WHILE AFTER.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ENGINE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SHUTTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY CLEARED ALL POWER WAS RESTORED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. THIS CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS. IT HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PICK UP SPEED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, AND THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER COASTING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER (LEVITTOWN FORD, LLC, 3195 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (866) 421-1288) WHO REPLACED THE FUSE AND RE-WIRED THE FUSE BOX PER A TSB. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH A RESPONSE WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE CONTACT WANTED TO KNOW WHY A TSB HAD BEEN ISSUED AND IF THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED YET BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,600.

FUSE MELTED TO JUNCTION BOX CAUSING TRUCK TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART AND WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WHEN KEY WAS NOT BEING TURNED. TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME POWER STEERING WENT OUT GOING AROUND A CORNER POSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. TOOK TRUCK IN TO GET SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE TURBO WARNING ERROR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUND FORD (101 SW GRADY WAY, RENTON, WA 98057) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT AND TURBO BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

RECEIVED MESSAGE "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" AND "HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT" WHEN TURNING LEFT ON CITY STREET AND LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND CONTROL VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO RUN UP ON SIDEWALK. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD EPAS FAILED AND WOULD REQUIRE $2K TO FIX STEERING COLUMN.

I AM HAVING BRAKE ISSUES JUST HAD ALL NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AS CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT HAS COME ON AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE I WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES THAT I WAS HAVING PRIOR TO REPAIR LOSS OF BRAKING SYSTEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH KIDS IN THE CAR BRAKE GOES TO THE FLOOR AND SOME TIME LATER RE GAIN BREAKING SYSTEM VERY SCARY I HAVE PAID OVER 40 THOUSAND DOLLAR FOR THIS TRUCK AND WELL OVER 8 THOUSAND IN REPAIRS WHAT HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE RECALL IS ISSUED THE RUN AROUND BETWEEN DEALERSHIPS AND HE SAID SHE SAID. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO BE KILLED BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL THIS IS ABSURD.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH THE BRAKE WARNING NOTICE CHIMED AND LOW FLUID WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH INFORMATION PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF MAIN ROAD ONTO A SMALLER ROAD AND THEN INTO A PARKING SPOT (TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE). JUST AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP. FOR THE RECORD, IT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2013 F-150 FX4 ECO-BOOST WITH JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. PUZZLED, I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND ONLY 1/2 INCH LEFT IN THE RESERVOIR. THIS MADE NO SENSE SINCE I HAD JUST FILLED THE WINDSHIELD FLUID A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THAT THE FLUID LEVEL FOR THE BRAKES WAS ABOUT 1/4 INCH BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE FOR A RIDE TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET BRAKE FLUID. WHILE I WAITED I CHECKED THE ENTIRE TRUCK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS BUT DID NOT FIND ANY. AFTER RETURNING WITH THE FLUID, I FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX FILL LINE HOPING THE BRAKES WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL BUT THINKING THERE MIGHT BE A LEAK SOMEWHERE. AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND TRYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL ONLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS NO PRESSURE. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MUST NOT BE WORKING. LUCKY FOR FORD MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 10 MONTH OLD SON WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND ALSO LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I AM VERY ANGRY AND ALSO CONCERNED. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICL

WHILE DRIVING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER, POWER STEERING INCLUDED AND SHUT DOWN. WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY (HEAD IN AND AT A SLIGHT GRADE) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. PLEASE LOG ONTO THE FOLLOWING SITE FOR SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO OR GOOGLE IT. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/FORD/F-150/OTHER-FUEL-SYSTEM-PUMP-PROBLEMS.PHP THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. FORD ISSUING A BULLETIN (NOT PUBLICLY) AND EXPECTING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND LOSES THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL WORE OUT ALONG WITH THE ROTOR. LOST BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO LOST OF FLUIDS. HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THAT WHEEL AND ROTOR ALONG WITH HARDLY AND BRAKE PEDAL. IT STARTED A LONG TIME AGO. JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE.

FRONT END SHAKING AT AND ROTORS TURNED UNDER WARRANTY AT 15K, SAME THING AT 23K AND ROTORS TURNED AGAIN. SAME THING AT 35K AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS 46K AND FORD CAN'T TURN ROTORS BECAUSE ROTORS ARE OUT OF SPEC. I HAVE NEVER HAD ROTORS WARP THIS FAST AND F-150 IS ONLY DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY. FORD SHOULD FIX THE CALIPERS OR ROTORS, THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM THE FACTORY.

MY 2013 FORD F150 3.7L 66,000 MILES HAS AN ONGOING BRAKE/ROTOR PROBLEM. I STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEMS AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES. FINALLY REPLACED THE ROTORS/BRAKES AT 46,000 NOW THE ROTORS ARE WARPING AGAIN AFTER ONLY 20,000 MILES. THE FRONT END HAS A VIBRATION IN IT, EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING. THE RECALL ISSUED WAS LIMITED TO THE 3.5L ENGINE. FROM MY INTERNET RESEARCH THIS RECALLED SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER MODELS.

BRAKE FAILURE , MASTER CYLINDER, 2013 AND 2014 MODELS WHERE RECALLED BUT THEY SAY THIS VIN WAS NOT IN RECALL, IT NEEDS TO BE BEFORE SOME ONE DIES, WHILE DRIVING WE HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AND LUCKY WE WERE ONLY GOING 25 MPH AND ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. 100 YARDS AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON FREEWAY DOING 75 MPH

EXCESSIVE BRAKE WEAR. BRAKE LINING CHECK AT 2,728 MILES IN AUGUST 2013 SHOWED 10 MM FRONT; 7 MM REAR. BRAKE LINING CHECK AT 11,131 MILES IN JULY 2017 SHOWED 5 AND 6 MM ON FRONT AND 3 AND 2 MM ON REAR. THIS SEEMS LIKE EXCESSIVE DETERIORATION OF BRAKES FOR NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN.

FUEL PUMP FUSE MELTED CAUSING TRUCK TO LOSE POWER WHILE ON FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS.

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WENT TO ZERO AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO SLIDE FROM THE SUDDEN DECELERATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE DUE TO A SIMILAR ISSUE WHERE THE INDICATED SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE WHILE TRAVELING AT CONSTANT SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT 2 OR MORE GEARS IN RESPONSE. PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AT THAT TIME BUT THE ISSUE WOULD STILL OCCUR PERIODICALLY. DEALERSHIP IS NOW REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEADFRAME AT A COST OF OVER $1000. THIS DEFECT IS IDENTICAL TO FORD SAFETY RECALL 16S19, BUT THE RECALL ONLY COVERS YEAR MODEL 2011 & 2012 VEHICLES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (COCONUT POINT FORD 22400 S. TAMIAMI TRAIL, FL 33928), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.
