2013 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

PER RECALL NOTICE 19S07, PREVIOUSLY 19N01, TRANSMISSION MAY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR WHILE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I HAVE HAD 3 INSTANCES OF PROBLEMS WITH AND TODAY 05/15/19 TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND LOCKED UP REAR WHEELS. IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN FOLLOWING IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH WITH POSSIBLE INJURIES. FORD STATED THEY DID NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A FIX ALTHOUGH PROBLEM HAS EXISTED WITH FORD 2013 F150 ECOBOOST 3.5 ENGINE VEHICLES FOR SERVERAL MONTHS. I WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THIS IS A FORD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH RECALL NOTICES THAT WERE SENT OUT BY FORD AND THEY STILL HAVE NO FIX.

THE END OF LAST MAY, PULLING OUR CAMPER UP THE RATON PASS, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND A FOGGY SLEET STORM THE MIL ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE DIED AND WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OUR WAY BACK TO THE SHOULDER, AFTER JUST HAVING MERGED INTO THE LEFT LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND IT DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES ALONG THE WAY SO WE TOOK IT TO XIT FORD IN DALHART TX. THE TECH THERE FOUND A BUNCH OF CODES STORED IN THE PCM, CLEARED THEM AND SENT US ON OUR WAY AND THE DRIVE BACK TO DALLAS WAS UNEVENTFUL. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE WIFE WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DIED ON HER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SO I TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD, SINCE THEY HAD DONE A PCM RECALL RE-FLASH (19V-075) ON IT PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR OUR TRIP. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN EVEN NEWER RE-FLASH AND THE PREFORMED THAT AND IT SEEMED TO SETTLE DOWN. WITH THE RECENT COLD SNAP WE HAVE HAD, THE TRUCK HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT A "A CRANK NO-START" SYMPTOM AND WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS "TSB 15-0137" WHICH FITS ALL OF OUR SYMPTOMS TO A TEE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... HAVING YOUR TRUCK DIE ON YOU, WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, UP AN ALMOST 8000 FOOT PASS, IN A STORM... IT IS A WONDER WE WERE NOT KILLED! THE TSB WAS PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 AND COVERS F150 MODEL YEARS 2009 - 2014. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND THE CURE WITHOUT THEM. THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FUSE NOT HAVING CONTACTS LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE CURRENT REQUIRED, GETTING HOT AND MELTING IN THE FUSE BOX. THE REMEDY LISTED IN THE TSB IS A NEW FUSE WITH CONTACTS AT LEAST 10 TIMES LARGER. WHEN I CHECKED OUR TRUCK FUSE 27 WAS INDEED MELTED AND I ORDERED EL3Z-14293-A AS SPECIFIED IN THE TSB. I AM ALSO SURPRISED THAT NEITHER DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE TSB.

RECEIVES A COUPLE NOTICES FROM FORD/AUTONATION STATING TO SCHEDULE MY TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. I DID SO AND THEN DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX AS OF YET. SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW JUST WAIT FOR TRUCK TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR PARK BY ITSELF? WHY EVEN SEND ME THESE NOTICES IF THEY CANNOT FIX THEM AND WASTE MY TIME BY SCHEDULING WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A SOFTWARE YET TO FIX IT? WILL I BE NOTIFIED AGAIN TO GET THIS FIX? AM I SUPPOSED TO CALL EVERY DAY TO SEE IF THE SOFTWARE IS IN? DO THEY PROVIDE ME A LOANER TRUCK IN THE MEANTIME UNTIL THEY GET THE SOFTWARE? WHAT IS A CONSUMER SUPPOSED TO DO, JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL HOPEFULLY THEY GET THE SOFTWARE AND OR HAVE A WRECK.

TRUCK NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL I TOOK IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TO FIX A RECALL PROBLEM. AFTER RECALL FIX THE NEXT WEEK SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60+MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS IN TO A LOW GEAR AND CAR ALMOST CO.ES TO A DEAD STOP ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER AND STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND CAR WORKED FI E FOR A TRIP. THEN THE NEXT TRIP ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED A WRENCH POP UP ON THE DISPLAY AND MY SPEEDOMETER MOVING UP AND DOWN. EVENTUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER WENT STRAIGHT TO ZERO, BUT STILL ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE AFTER PLACING TRUCK IN (FAKE STANDARD MODE. AFTER ARRIVING HOME I PARKED CAR. TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND SPEEDOMETER WORKED AGAIN. CALL LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND DROVE CAR TO SHOP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS THEY'RE TELLING ME NOTHING THEY DID ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. YET I NEVER HAD IT HAPPEN BEFORE AND THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS THAT REPLACED MORE THAN JUST SOFTWARE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CLAIMS OF ONLY CAUSING 5 ACCIDENTS WITH NO INJURIES. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE CAUSE OF 1000S OF ACCIDENTS AND ALSO DEATHS. BUT PEOPLE PROBABLY ARE NOT REALIZING WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHEN A ACCIDENT ACURRS. AFTER RESEARCH IT LOOKS 5O BE POSSIBLE LEAD FRAME OR SPEED SENSOR. IDK BUT MY FAMILY WILL PARK THIS TRUCK AND NEVER DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL FIXED AGAIN THE RECALL FIX CAUSED THE PROBLEM, DIFFERENTLY DID NOT FIX. 1.5 MILLION F150 OWNERS ARE ON THE ROAD. I WILL NEVER BE BEHIND A F150 AGAIN IN CASE THE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DID.

I RECIEVED A RECALL LETTER FOR RECALL NUMBER 19S07 FROM FORD IN MARCH 2019. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK MY TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. 2013 FORD F-50 XLT WITH 3.5 ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). PURVIS FORD LINCOLN (3660 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408, (540) 898-3000) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. THE POWERTRAIN MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER TRAIN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000. *BF *JB *JS

ALL OF THE SUDDEN STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN. IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. AND WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS DOING. SAME THING THE 2014S WERE RECALLED FOR.

I WAS DRIVING IN FREEWAY WITH SPEED OF 60 TO 65 MILES. ALL SUDDEN CAR MAKES BIG NOISE, SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING HIT BUT THERE IS NOTHING AND LOOSE POWER AND GEAR CHANGE TO 1. BUT RPM GOES ALL THE WAY TO 7000 RPM. VERY DANGER TO DRIVE. SOON I PULL OVER AND PUT IT ON PARK, AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THEN TURN BACK ON THE CAR, IT DRIVES GOOD.

WHILE IN DRIVE MY TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD GEAR TO FIRST WITHOUT WARNING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW ZERO WHILE IM STILL ROLLING AROUND 20-30MPH. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO RESET MY TRUCK. GOD FORBID I HOPE THIS DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN WHEN IM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY, FORD WILL HAVE 5 LIVES DEPENDING ON THEIR ELECTRONICS NOT GLITCHING OUT. WHILE THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO CODES SHOWING UP.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65-75 MPH, LOST ENGINE POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER, TRYING NOT TO CAUSE A WRECK, AND STOPPED BETWEEN BUSY HIGHWAY AND ON-RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. FOUND #27 FUSE MELTED. CHANGED FUSE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. I DON'T LIKE REPAIRING FORD'S ENGINEERING MISTAKES, NOR DO I LIKE BEING PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THEM. I USE THIS TRUCK FOR WORK AND HAVE A LIFETIME'S ACCUMULATION OF SPECIALTY TOOLS KEPT IN THIS TRUCK FOR MY JOB. IF THE TRUCK GOES UP IN FLAMES, WILL FORD REPLACE WHAT IS LOST? THE WAY THIS FUSE, FUSE BOX, AND THE CONNECTION HAS FAILED LOOKS AS THERE CAN POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION IN NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW, AT HIGH SPEED, THAT COULD A RESULTED IN A WRECK, INJURY, DEATH, ETC. I WILL FIX THIS, PROBABLY ON MY OWN DIME. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY IS THIS NOT REQUIRED TO BE FIXED BY FORD. IT'S AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT EVEN FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROVIDED A TSB TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND NO INJURIES/ACCIDENTS RESULTED FROM THE OCCURRENCE.

VEHICLE KEEPS DOW SHIFTING AND UP SHIFTING HAVE CALLED DEALER NUMEROUS OF TIMES WITH NO INFORMATION OF WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED AND I HAVE CAME CLOSE TO BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GIVE OUT A LOANER VEHICLE EITHER AND I NEED THIS FIXED NOW IT A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD

MAY 2019 RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR CO. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NOTICE #19N01, RECEIVED SAFERTY RECALL NHTSA 19V-075/SRN 19S07. SEEMS TO ME THAT ONCE FORD MOTOR CO DECIDES TO AFFECT THE SAFETY RECALL, THEY SHOULD ALSO CHECK OUT THIS NEW PROBLEM AS WELL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. FORD KNOWS THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE, SO INSTEAD OF OFFERING TO EXTEND WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES OR UNTIL NOV 30, 2019. THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY INFORM DEALERSHIPS TO INSPECT AND PERFORM CORRECTIVE MEASURES TO MAINTAIN THEIR "QUALITY ONE" MATRIX AS THEY PROFESS.

MY FORD DEALER UPDATED THE POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AS PER SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA #19V075000). MY TRANSMISSION STILL IS SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, ESPECIALLY HARD SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THIS RECALL DID NOT WORK AS EXPECTED FOR THE 2013 MODEL F-150 AND FORD HAS NOT ISSUED AN NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE TO RESOLVE.

VEHICLE HAS LOUD TICKING NOISE WHEN COLD STARTED, SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY EMISSION REPAIR, DEALER STATED TURBO HAD GONE BAD AND WIPED OUT TURBO. VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES JUST OUTSIDE OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, DEALER DECLINED ASSISTANCE AND WANTED $2500 TO REPAIR TURBO AND WOULD THEN REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED HAVE ALL RECORDS, IF TURBO WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DESTROYED THE ENGINE STATED THE DEALER. WHY IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ENGINE FAILING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE? VEHICLE ALSO HAS INTERMITTENT SHIFTING PROBLEM AROUND 40-45MPH SEEMS TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY, DEALER SAYS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME COULD BE ISSUE OR ECM/PCM PROGRAMMING, THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY OF THOSE REPAIRS YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD ABNORMAL NOISES THEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING ON THE FREEWAY, CAUSING ME TO VEER ONTO THE SHOULDER UNTIL I COULD MANUALLY REGAIN CONTROL. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. POWER STEERING IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NOT FUNCTIONING MORE THAN FUNCTIONING. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT DUE TO THIS, BUT NOT 2013. I'VE FOUND LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SOMEONE COULD'VE EASILY BEEN KILLED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND I STILL WON'T FEEL TOTALLY SAFE IN MY VEHICLE ANYMORE KNOWING THAT THIS CAN RANDOMLY HAPPEN AT ANYTIME.

FORD, F-150, 2013 ECOBOOST (109K MILES). WHILE DRIVING THE BREAKS BECOME HARD AS A ROCK, FAIL TO STOP TRUCK AND CHECK BREAK SYSTEMS WARNING COMES ONTO DASH. HAPPENS DURING MOIST WEATHER CONDITIONS. MOST RECENTLY, AFTER COASTING TO A STOP AND STRANDED WITH NO BREAKS ON A RURAL ROAD (ACTIVELY RAINING), I TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AND BREAKS RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS BREAK FAILURE HAPPENED 4 TIMES TO DATE, DURING HIGH SPEEDS, AVERAGE SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NO RECALL FOR MY VIN, ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK MEETS RECALL DETAILS.

FORD F-150 RECALL: THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED MOMENTARILY THEN RELEASE AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED BUT NEVER LOSS POWER. IT WAS RAINING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY CHANGED SPEEDS...FASTER/SLOWER/FASTER. THE DAY BEFORE THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. MAY ALL BE RELATED TO THE OSS.

DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AT 35 - 40 MPH RESULTING IN A SUDDEN JOLT, SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. AFTER THE JOLT, VEHICLE SHIFTED BACK UP INTO THIRD GEAR AND SPEEDOMETER STARTED WORKING.

2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST WITH 62000 MILES. CURRENTLY GIVING CEL CODE P0016. THIS IS THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCH ISSUE. MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH 62K MILES. NOW THAT I AM 2K MILES OUT OF POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAD IT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND NOTHING WAS EVER MENTIONED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE RATTLE FOR SOME TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2013 FORD 150 ECOBOOST, IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER,THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON.... TRIED ACCELERATING BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO...HAD TO FIND A WAY TO MOVE OUT OF THE STREET BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED AND HAVE SOMEONE CRASH THE BACK....HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE..AFTER FINDING A PLACE TO PARK, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF...WHEN TURNED IT BACK ON WAS WORKING FINE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THE 2013 FORD F150 ECOBOOST.

IT'S IS SUPER UNSAFE TO DRIVE, YET FORD SAYS TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA RECALL 19V-075. RECALL CAUSED FAILURE IN TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST PRIOR TO RECALL UPDATE. SUPPLEMENT #1 ISSUED 5/15/2019 INDICATED MY 5-LITER ENGINE WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN UPGRADED WITH RECALL 19SO7. EACH TIME I USE MY TRUCK TOW /HAUL AND BRAKE ON A GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO SECOND GEAR AND WILL NOT EXIT UNTIL I TURN OFF THE TOW/HAUL FUNCTION. DEALER MARSHALL FORD O'FALLON MO, TELLS ME DON'T USE FUNCTION. I FIND THIS MOST INCONVENIENT, CONSIDERING I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FIVE YEARS TOWING MY BOAT WITHOUT A PRIOR INCIDENT. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. I AM GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM FORD CORPORATE OR DEALER SINCE FIRST COMMUNIQUE. THEY HAVE ASSIGNED ME A CASE #2170, BUT THAT IS ALL. MY FEAR AT THIS POINT I WILL DAMAGE THIS TRANSMISSION AND BE LEFT WITH THE REPAIRS.

MY VEHICLE HAS DOWNSHIFTED ON 6 OCCASIONS RANGING FROM 6TH GEAR AND 4TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. MY VEHICLE LOCKED UP REAR WHEELS UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET DOWN TO 5MPH. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF VEHICLE AND IT WORKED AGAIN. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NHTSA FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN. MY FORD F150 HAS SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. WHAT DOES IT GOING TO TAKE TO HAVE THIS FIX?

CAR STARTED TO RUST QUICK HAD AIR BUBLES BUILT UP ON VEHICAL WENT TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO GET THAT DONE THEY TOLD ME THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE SPEED SENSOR THEY DONT WANT TO FIX IT FOR DEALER IS LOCATED ON RT 30 IN PLAINFIELD.AND MY FEUL MEATER ON THE DASBOARD IS INACURATE
