2011 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

AS I DRIVE MY F-150 AS A DAILY DRIVER AND EVERYDAY IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT AS IT SNOWED THE OTHER DAY I PROCEEDED TO THE GROCERY STORE ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35MPH WITH A 50 MPH POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND AS IT DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY I LOST CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND ENDED UP FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE ROAD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED

POWER TRAIN COMING ON ALL TIME / BRAKE PROBLEMS/ LIGHT COMING ON ALL TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. CANDY FORD (403 LANSING ST, CHARLOTTE, MI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I START UP MY VEHICLE.

WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I NOTICED MY DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR DISPLAY WAS IN 5TH WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I ACCELERATED, ALL OF SUDDEN, THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AND EVERYTHING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY APPEARED AS (---). THE TRUCK COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I DROVE THE TRUCK TO A SAFE AND LOCATION, WITH THE TRUCK BARELY ACCELERATING. I PARKED AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE. THE DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR WAS IN THE 3RD GEAR. MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I WENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED AND THE TROUBLE CODE CAME BACK AS P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY RISK. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY TRUCK MAY ALL OF SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A NEWBORN CHILD AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY NEWBORN. I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND I ONLY HAVE APPROX 83,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AS OF TODAY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. SOME VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THIS TIME MAY BEEN LEFT OFF THIS RECALL. I FIRMLY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS LEFT OFF THE RECALL LIST. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL SIMILAR TO MY INCIDENT BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION TRANSMISSION GOES INTO FIFTH GEAR AND SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0.ALSO VEHICLE SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR UPON ACCELERATING.

STARTED VEHICLE IN GARAGE, DEPRESSED BRAKE, MOVED SHIFT SELECTOR TO REVERSE POSITION AND "R" INDICATOR DIDN'T LIGHT, VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE IN REVERSE. WOULD MOVE FORWARD & "D" INDICATOR LIT. TURN VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED, MOVED SHIFT LEVER TO "R" INDICATOR AND IT LIT AND VEHICLE WOULD MOVE. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BETWEEN 12/21/2018 & 12/25/2018. HAD FRIEND TRY SHIFTING WHILE I WATCHED REAR BACKUP LIGHTS. THEY LIT WHEN "R" WOULD LIGHT, AND WOULDN'T LIGHT WHEN "R" WOULDN'T LIGHT. ALSO ON 25TH, ALL SHIFTER POSITIONS WOULDN'T LIGHT WHEN RETURNING HOME. VERY SCARY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THERE WAS A RECALL / EXTENSION OF FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THE 2011 F150 RELATED TO FAILINGS OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH FAILINGS OF THE SPEED SENSOR AND THE LEAD FRAME, AND REPORTEDLY NEEDS A NEW LEAD FRAME. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLS HAVE FORCED A DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNIT THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD HAS HAPPENED TO MY UNIT SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS LED TO THE RECALL OF CERTAIN UNITS: F150'S BUILT IN THE KANSAS CITY PLANT BETWEEN 8/19/2011 THRU 3/9/2012-MINE WAS BUILT IN THIS PLANT ON 10/2011 AND SHOULD FALL UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY / RECALL, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY UNIT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, WHICH IS PUZZLING.

WHILE TURNING IN TRAFFIC MY EPAS STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I ALREADY HAD DEALERSHIP CHANGE EPAS RACK AND PINION AND I HAVE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2014 TRUCKS WITH SAME ISSUE. ITS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER GOES TO DASHES AND TRUCK FAILS TO SHIFT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF TO TRY AND RESET IT. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES OF DOING THIS TO RESET THE TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY MOVING AT THE SPEED OF 60 MPH THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. CAUSING MY BACK TIRES TO LOCK UP. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 7:00 PM AFTER THE INCIDENT A WRENCH CAME UP ON MY CONTROL CENTER TELLING ME TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AT A FORD DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WITHIN THAT SHORT DISTANCE IT WAS STILL DOWNSHIFTING RANDOMLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SISK FAMILY FORD (565 OAK ST, FOREST CITY, NC 28043, 828-245-1626), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

MOLDED LEAD FRAME AND OSS REPLACEMENT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME RECALL 16N02. I EXPERIENCED THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND WOULD ONLY DRIVE IN FIRST GEAR. I DROVE TO A MECHANIC THAT WAS CLOSER THAN THE FORD DEALER AND WAS OFF OF BACK ROADS SO I COULD DRIVE IN FIRST GEAR. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 19S07 WHICH IS FOR PROGRAMMING THE OSS SENSOR. I ASKED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY REPAIR AND I WAS TOLD NO BY CRESCENT FORD & TRUCKS. THEY SAID 19S07 IS FOR PROGRAMMING ONLY. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE LEAD FRAME, CONNECTOR, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND THE SPEED SENSOR.

SUDDEN AND RANDOM DOWNSHIFTING. WHILE IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR, COMPLETELY AT RANDOM. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR LURCH AND "JUMP" IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED DECREASES GREATLY. HAPPENS AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INDUCED BY "HARD" DRIVING OR GENTLE DRIVING. CANNOT FORCE IT TO OCCUR. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT INTO DEALER TO BE CHECKED AS NO CODES (ENGINE LIGHT OR GEAR) APPEARS. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL ISSUE FOR OTHER F150'S BUT MY TRUCK ISN'T COVERED, BUT IS DEFINITELY HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A TWO LANE BLACK TOP ROAD THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OF MY TRUCK SUDDENLY SHATTERED. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WHEN I ACTIVATED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE REMAINING LAYER OF FROST OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER ACTIVATING THE REAR DEFROSTER THAT I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK REALIZED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE PANE OF GLASS IN MY 3 PIECE SLIDING REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. WHEN I CHECKED THE WINDOW THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS SCUFFS OR HOLES INDICATING THAT SOMETHING HAD STRUCK THE WINDOW. ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A BED COVER OVER THE BED AREA WHICH WOULD RULE OUT SOMETHING FLYING UP OUT OF THE BED AND STRIKING THE WINDOW. ADDITIONAL DATA: * OUTSIDE TEMP APPROXIMATELY 36 DEGREES F * REAR WINDOW CLEAR OF FROST DEFROSTER ACTIVATED TO CLEAR DRIVER SIDE MIRROR * ROAD SURFACE SMOOTH AND SPEED 55 MPH AND TRAVELING STRAIGHT. * WINDOW DID NOT FALL FROM FRAME AND SHOWS A PRONOUNCE OUTWARD BOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO REVERSE. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENKINS & WYNNE FORD, HONDA, LINCOLN (2655 TRENTON RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V190000 (POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-16590270. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

WHILE DRIVING, NORMAL CONDITIONS, VEHICLE DROPS FROM HIGHER GEARS TO 1ST GEAR. REAR TIRES LOCKED UP, SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY. CHECKED CODE P0720. HAPPENED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. LATEST INCIDENT, TRANSMISSION MADE HARD SHIFT, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND MPG INDICATOR ALL WENT DEAD AND THE "WRENCH" ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. READ CODES, CAME UP WITH P0720 AND P0722. AFTER RESTARTING, ALL GAUGES WORKED. VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE WITH CAUTION. RESEARCHED RECALL NOTICES, FOUND 16N02 "MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED WARRANTEE", BUT IT ONLY COVERS F150'S MANUFACTURED ON CERTAIN DATES AT CERTAIN PLANTS. MY TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME TYPE AND MODEL NUMBER....6R80 AS ALL F150 ECOBOOST MADE IN 2011 AND 2012. I CALLED FORD AND THEY STATED MY VIN DID NOT SHOW UP UNDER ANY RECALLS, AND I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF "STIPULATIONS". I CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT FORD WILL ONLY COVER CERTAIN CRITERIA, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME AT ALL MANUFACTURING LOCATIONS. IF A TRANSMISSION MODEL IS FAULTY, IT IS FAULTY REGARDLESS OF WHERE OR WHEN IT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, AND FIND IT DISTURBING THAT FORD WILL ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO REMAIN ON THE ROAD WITHOUT THEM FIXING THEM, OR WORSE STILL, PASSING OFF THE COST TO THE OWNERS, MANY OF WHOM CANNOT EASILY FORK OUT THE MONEY OR TIME TO HAVE THEM FIXED AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRING ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR COMMONLY FAILS PREVENTING DEFROSTER TO OPERATE, VERY COMMON WELL KNOWN PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING AND UNDER NO PARTICULAR COMMON CONDITIONS, THE DASHBOARD, INSTRUMENT GAUGES, INTERIOR LIGHTING, HEADLIGHTS, NAVIGATION PANEL SUDDENLY BEGIN FLASHING AND BLACKING OUT. THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, COME BACK TO NORMAL, BUT TYPICALLY WITH A "TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE" MESSAGE ON WITH THE TROUBLE LIGHT REMAINING ON. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ONCE IN A WHILE, IT LASTED LONGER AND CLUNKING NOISES SEEMED TO COME FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN. HOWEVER, A FEW OCCURRENCES WERE WHILE TURNING AND THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT. I TOOK IT TO A BELLE TIRE NEARBY AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING THE DEALER HAD TO UPDATE THE ABS MODULE AND GAVE ME A PRINTOUT OF TSB 12-11-18 [ATTACHED SCAN]. THEY CIRCLED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES C1278 AND C1963 AS THE ONES THAT POPPED UP IN THEIR ANALYSIS. I FIND NO RECALLS OF THIS ITEM, BUT THE STEERING ISSUE IS CERTAINLY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO REMAIN PARKED FOR A WHILE AND MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS HAD TO BE MADE FOR IT TO RESTART. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL ALEXANDER FORD LINCOLN MERCURY (801 E 32ND ST, YUMA, AZ 85365, (928) 344-2200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND A COMPUTER RESET WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE RESET MADE THINGS WORSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE FAULT CODE FOR TIMING CHAIN P0016 CAME ON AND ENGINE SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKE POWER WHICH CAUSED ME TO ALMOST COLLIDE WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER. AFTER FINALLY GETTING TRUCK ON THE OFF RAMP IT TOOK ALL I HAD TO GET IT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION PUTTING MY LIFE AND THE DRIVER OF THE SUV AT THE INTERSECTION LIFE IN DANGER.

AT APPROXIMATELY 8 IN THE MORNING ON 12/2/2018 I WAS AT A STOP GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I HAD THE WINDOW DEFROSTER/HEAT ON, AS WELL AS THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. OVER THE LAST YEAR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY BUT THE DEFROSTER HAS ALWAYS WORKED. AS I STARTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD THROWN SOMETHING AT MY TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND ABOUT A MILE LATER, I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE ROOF FOR ANY SIGN OF SOMETHING HITTING THE ROOF, WHEN I NOTICED A STEADY TRAIL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW AREA, NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER HAD MELTED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER CIRCUIT, I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WHICH DISABLES MY MIRROR HEATERS. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATES THIS FURTHER AS THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD IS AWARE OF IT. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT COULD HARM A CHILD OR SOMEONE SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT IF THE GLASS SHATTERS AND BLOWS OUT OF THE FRAME AS WELL AS SCARING SOMEONE CAUSING THEM TO REACT BY BRAKING, STEERING, ETC. AND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AS FAR AS I KNOW, FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND HAS DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE ON FORD'S BEHALF BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. IN ADDITION, THE RPM GAUGE DECREASED TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 181,000.

MY 2011 FORD F150 3.5 L ECOBOOST HAS SUFFERED A PROBLEMATIC OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR ISSUE (ERROR CODE P0722) WHERE MY TRUCK WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR. THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS ME GOING 'ZERO' AND THE ODOMETER SHOWS DASHES INSTEAD OF THE MILEAGE. A COUPLE TIMES I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE DOWNSHIFT HAPPENED CAUSING A LOT OF CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY! I RESEARCHED THIS AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY IF THE TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEARBORN OR KANSAS CITY, WHICH MINE WAS NOT. (TSB13-6-8) MY MECHANIC NOW TELLS ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS GROWN, THAT I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. HE QUOTED ME $7,500 TO FIX THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO GET IT FIXED. IF THIS PROBLEM WAS ONLY IN THE TWO FORE-MENTIONED FACTORIES, THEN WHY DID I SUFFER THE SAME ISSUE? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THEN JUST TRUCKS FROM DEARBORN OR KC.... I NEED HELP, FORD!

EARLY ONE MORNING WHEN IT WAS AROUND 27 DEGREES OUT I STARTED MY 2011 F-150 AND LET IT RUN ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO WARM UP. I USED MY REMOTE START, WHICH TURNS ON THE WINDOW DEFROSTERS. WITHIN 3 MIN OF LEAVING FOR WORK I HEARD A SOUND SIMILAR TO A BREAKING LIGHT BULB. ONCE I GOT TO WORK I HAPPENED TO MOVE MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW ( 3 PART, DOUBLE PANE MOTORIZED REAR WINDOW WITH DEFROST) WAS SHATTERED ON BOTH SIDES (PANES) I AM 1 OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO APPARENTLY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. FORD DOES NOT COVER THE GLASS ON THERE VEHICLES IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, EVEN ON THERE NEWEST MODELS, AND APPARENTLY REFUSES TO FIX OR RATHER, REPLACE THESE WINDOWS WHEN DAMAGED BY THERE INAPPROPRIATELY ADJUSTED DEFROSTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I FREQUENTLY TAKE MY NEPHEWS AND 2 YEAR OLD NIECE PLACES IN THIS VEHICLE. PLACED IN THE BACK SEAT FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASON. NOW I DONT EVEN FEEL SAFE PUTTING THEM IN THE TRUCK AT ALL. WHAT DO YOU THINK A 2 YEAR OLD IS GOING TO DO WITH TINY SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS? ALSO TAKE A GLASS MUG, PUT IT INTO THE FREEZER FOR AN HOUR, TAKE IT OUT AND POUR HOT COFFEE INTO IT. WHAT DOES IT DO? THESE ARE COMMON SENSE THINGS.

"2011 FORD F150 LEAD FRAME IN TRANSMISSION RECALL'. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0, MY MILEAGE INDICATOR WAS SHOWING ALL DASHES ------- AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN GEAR SOMEONE BETWEEN 2ND AND 5TH AND MY TRUCK STARTED SLOWING VERY QUICKLY ON ITS OWN. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCONNECTED MY BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET THE READINGS. WHICH WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. AFTER CALLING FORD DIRECTLY I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT WAS NOTED IN SOME OTHER RESEARCH I HAD DONE. I WAS TOLD IN ORDER FOR IT TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED IT HAD TO BE DIAGNOSED AT A CERTIFIED FORD SERVICE STATION. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE RECALL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE WHERE SOME OF VINS WERE RECALLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I AM GRATEFUL I WAS NOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE AS A RESULT OF THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. I WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REQUEST TO HAVE FORD BROADEN THE RECALL THAT OBVIOUSLY MY TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN. IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO REACH OUT.

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS FROM HIGH SPEEDS DOWN TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS CAUSES RAPID DECELERATION AND HIGH RPMS. ALSO AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO NEUTRAL OUT AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION.

2011 F-150 PICK UP HAS HAD 3 EPISODES OF SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR IN HIGHWAY SPEED & IN TOWN. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL (16V248000), IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER; ABSOLUTELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DEALER WANTS $1400 TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE WHEN PROMPTED. ALSO, THE "R" INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AL BILTON FORD (7621 OLD STATE RD, HOLLY HILL, SC 29059, 1-803-496-3150) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V190000 (POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED *JB

I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SMELL BURNED AND THE TRUCK WAS BURNING. IT WAS TOTALLY LOST. WE WERE 4 PEOPLE WHO WERE UP AND WE WERE ALSO BURNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD THUMPING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR SLIDING WINDSHIELD FRACTURED. JACKY JONES FORD LINCOLN, INC. (714 NEW HIGHWAY 68, SWEETWATER, TENNESSEE, (423) 337-5066) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 157,882.

EVIDENTLY AS YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY AWARE, THE 2011 F-150 6R80 TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED ON A LOT OF TRUCKS. THE SPEED SENSOR OR TRANS RANGE SENSOR OR LEAD FRAME IS WAS/BAD SO A SATISFACTION PROGRAM WAS INITIALLY MADE 'ONE FREE LEAD FRAME' OFFERED FOR UNDER 10 YEARS OR 150K MILES . NOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK BUT A. IT'S 2011 B. IT WAS PRODUCED FROM THE KANSAS PLANT, ONE OF TWO PLANTS WHICH INITIATED THE RECALL. C. THE INFAMOUS P0705 CODE IS READING. PRETTY MUCH WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS MY HEAD ACHE OF A TRUCK DESERVES A RECALL EVALUATION, AT THE VERY LEAST A NEW LEAD FRAME PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. I THINK MY TRUCK SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS AND IT NEEDS FIXING! BY THE WAY THIS CAUSES MY TRUCK TO DROP TO LOW GEARS(INNAPROPRIATE GEARS) AT HIGH SPEEDS AND CAUSES IT TO NOT WORK AT ALL AT TIMES!!!

BAD TRANSMISSION LEADFRAME ASSEMBLY AS PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY FORD IN A RECALL CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AT 65MPH REQUIRING VEHICLE TO BE STOPPED AND RESTARTED; FORD HAS IDENTIFIED ISSUE AS 16V-248 BUT TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE MISSED THE CAMPAIGN AS MY VEHICLE BUILD DATE WAS 11 DAYS PRIOR TO THEIR RECALL DATES; HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT AT SAME PLANT (DEARBORN) AND HAD SAME IDENTICAL ERROR CODES FOR PROBLEM; FORD REP AT 866-436-7332 TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH PROBLEM SEEMS THE SAME NOTHING CAN BE COVERED; TO RESOLVE COST ME $751.27. ALWAYS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER BUTTON WAS PUSHED AND THE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THEN TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT PRESSED THE BUTTON AGAIN. ON THE THIRD TIME THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE DEALER (DEAN ARBOUR FORD, 3382 M-55, WEST BRANCH, MI 48661) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THEIR DECISION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

BF GOODRICH BF15L3110317 TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. ON THE WAY TO WORK ON 11/05/18 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I SUDDENLY HEARD A RUMBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE GUARD RAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKY FOR ME, NO OTHER CAR WAS BESIDE ME WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER SO QUICKLY BEFORE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK OR ANYONE ELSE. I TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND ASKED IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THAT SET OF TIRES PURCHASED IN 2017. THE SALES REPRESENTATIVE STATED NOTHING LISTED, BUT STRANGELY THE TIRE HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED FOR SALES. CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND GAVE THEM ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND AWAITING CAR CARE CENTER TO CONTACT THEM WITH ALL THE DETAILS. HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A TREND WHERE OTHER CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SRS LIGHT ON SEVEN TIMES AND REPAIRED. SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND PARTIAL WIRING HARNESS REPLACEMENT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2015.

WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND SEND IT INTO AN UNCONTROLABLE SKID.

I HAVE 3 ISSUES TO REPORT: 1. THE OSS OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 19S07 IN NOVEMBER 2018 I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT I WENT TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL I TRIED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN THE TRUCK SEEMED TO GO INTO GEAR AND SEEMED FINE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING 8 HOURS LATER ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WRENCH LIGHT I STOPPED AND HAD IT CHECKED CODES 0720 AND 0722 CAME UP OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR I TOOK IT TO MY SHOP WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER WHICH I DID THEY RAN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME FAULTY AND CHARGED ME $1526.00 AND NOW I FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. 2. TSB15-0061 WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN LOW INTERMITTENT WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. INSTALLED NEW WIPER/MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH TWICE AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. 3. THE SAME TIME MY WIPERS STARTED ACTING UP MY HORN STOPPED WORKING BOTH WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE HORN SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND WHEN YOU GO TO SET THE ALARM. I ASKED THE SERVICE MECHANICS ABOUT THIS AND I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE (BCM) BODY CONTROL MODULE FORD IS RECALLING SOME BCM IN FORD F150 BUT DOESNT SHOW UP WHEN I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN.

VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH AND THROWS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM IT RUNS SMOOTHER. AFTER TROUBLE SHOOTING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, IT WAS DETERMINED TO PROBABLY BE A STICKY VALVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS TRUCK WAS SERVICED AND THE ISSUE CORRECTED WHILE OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IF YES, IT IS BROKEN AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE REVERSE POSITION AS THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO INDICATE THE REVERSE POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE FINALLY OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION, IT FAILED TO DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. SHIFTER INTERLOCK SWITCH IS BROKEN SO IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT BEING IN PARK TO RELEASE THE KEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, DECELERATED AND LOST POWER. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED VIOLENTLY. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND MULTIPLE UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RODEO FORD (13680 W TEST DR, GOODYEAR, AZ 85338) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TWO HUNDRED MILES. THE CONTACT COMPLIED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT PERFORMED THE TUNE UP HIMSELF AND THE VEHICLE FAILED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO THE WRONG GEAR AND LOST POWER. AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPEEDWAY FORD (1710 N EXPY, GRIFFIN, GA 30223, (888) 324-4186) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING AND LOSING PRESSURE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VALVE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE COMPUTER WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPROGRAMMED AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

TRUCK WILL BE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR HIGHER, AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WAVE BACK AND FORTH AND DROP TO 0. TRANSMISSION TRIES TO COMPENSATE AND DOWNSHIFTS DRASTICALLY CAUSING A VERY HARD SHIFT AND SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. VERY EASILY COULD BE REAR-ENDED IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION. HAVE TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS OVER THE LAST MONTH WHO SAY THE SAME THING, THAT IT SHOULD RECEIVE A MOLDED LEADFRAME REPLACEMENT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL (16N02). MY VIN MATCHES THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, MANUFACTURING PLANT, AND MANUFACTURING DATES WITH THE RECALL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT PARTS, BUT IT IS MY FIRM BELIEF THAT SOME VEHICLES WERE LEFT OUT OF THE RECALL. EVEN WHEN FORD EMPLOYEES ARE SAYING THE FIX IS THE SAME AS THOSE ISSUED IN THE RECALL. VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND TO CHARGE SOMEONE $1,800 WHEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR FREE, IS BEYOND SAD.
