2013 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PURVIS FORD LINCOLN (3660 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, FREDERICKSBURG, VA 22408, (540) 898-3000) TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE REPAIR FAILED TO REMEDY THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE POWER TRAIN FAULT AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MOVE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 500 TO 1000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE WOULD REPROGRAM ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND HESITATED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THERE WAS ALSO A SHIFTING DELAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOU FUSZ FORD (2 CAPRICE DR, CHESTERFIELD, MO), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL OUT WHEN REFUELING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY GOES TO 0 MPH, DASH INFORMATION LIKE MPG AND MILEAGE ALL READ ------, ONLY INSTRUMENT WORKING IS THE TACHOMETER...ADDITIONALLY WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTS YOU SEE THE AIR BAG WARNING ILLUMINATE, BUT A MINUTE LATER THE SERVICE WRENCH APPEARS ON SCREEN. ONCE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS THE TRUCK HAS TROUBLE TAKING OFF, VERY SLOW TO GET GOING, IT'S IN A HIGHER GEAR AND NOT BE RETURNING TO 1ST GEAR. IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN 98% OF THE TIME THE TRUCK WILL RUN FINE, A FEW TIMES I HAD TO CYCLE ON AND OFF TWICE. PROBLEMS USUALLY REOCCURS OFTEN. I HAD A FORD DEALER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM...THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY MOLDED LEADFRAME INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. $1100. REPAIR COST. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY---HARD TO BELIEVE I ONLY GOT 120K OUT OF A TRANSMISSION, WAS EXPECTING 300K. THERE IS EVEN A BULLETIN FROM FORD, TSB 13-6-8. BUT THEY STILL WOULD NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY!

IT WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES OUT AND I DROVE TO WORK WITH MY FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTERS ON. AFTER I BACKED INTO MY PARKING SPOT I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP OR BANG. STARTLED ME. I GOT OUT AND COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG ALTHOUGH IT WAS STILL DARK OUT. WHEN DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE PORTION OF THE REAR POWER SLIDING WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I'M PISSED! CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN FOR AN ESTIMATE. WAS TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED AND MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED ANYWAY. COME TO FIND OUT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE.

TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (30-70 MPH), TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM UPPER GEARS (3RD-6TH) IMMEDIATELY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR, FAILING TO DOWNSHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS IN BETWEEN. WRENCH ICON APPEARS ON DISPLAY. DISPLAY ALSO SHOWS DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO ALTHOUGH STILL MOVING FORWARD. REAR TIRES BREAK TRACTION. CRASH POTENTIAL IS HIGH DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WET ROADS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. AT FIRST IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A RANDOM HARD SHIFT (2ND TO 1ST WHEN ACCELERATING) PERHAPS ONCE A MONTH - EASILY FORGETTABLE. IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS HOWEVER, IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH AND ONCE AT 70 ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK IS TOO DANGEROUS TO OPERATE AND IS WILL BE SIDELINED UNTIL REPAIRED. SCAN TOOL SHOWED P0722 (OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR). THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE LEADFRAME CONNECTOR (P/N: AL3Z-7G276-D) IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS APPLIES TO THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. SIGNS/SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE 2016 RECALL OF 2011-2012 F-150'S. IT SEEMS FORD EXTENDED THE FREE REPLACEMENT WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES FOR EFFECTED VEHICLES. UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE JUST PASSED THE 150K MARK, SO IF THE RECALL IS EXPANDED, I'M ALREADY OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE LIMIT, SO I'LL BE STUCK WITH THE BILL.

AFTER PURCHASE, I GOT A CONTINUOUS P0308, CYLINDER 8 MISFIRE. PROBLEM IS THAT CYLINDER 4 HAS LOW/NO COMPRESSION, DRAGGING DOWN CYLINDER 8 AS WELL.

TRUCK WOULD NOT START. FORD DEALER FOUND BURNT FUSE CAUSING FUEL PUMP FAILURE

ON 12/31/18 I WAS OPERATING MY VEHICLE LISTED IN THIS COMPLAINT. WHILE OPERATING I HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ACTIVATED. I ARRIVED HOME AND BACKED INTO TO MY DRIVEWAY. WHILE REVERSING I HEARD A LOUD POP COME FROM MY BACK WINDOW. THE ENTIRE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. THE WINDOW SETS IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK BED AND DID NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. ON 1/5/19 WHILE GETTING THE WINDOW REPAIRED CHAFING WAS FOUND ON THE DEFROSTER WIRES ON THE BROKEN WINDOW. I CALLED FORD, THEY ADVISED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH F150S BUT IT DID NOT HAVE A RECALL. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSES SINCE I DID NOT DAMAGE THE WINDOW. THIS WAS NOT A CHEAP FIX, THE SHATTERED GLASS WAS POPPED OUT FROM THE INSIDE.

STARTED ON THE INTERSTATE AND GOT UP TO ABOUT 65 MPH AND TRUCK SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AND BEGAN TO SKID AND HOP AND WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD, (LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC WAS CLOSE TO ME) GOT CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND CAME TO A STOP. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY ON DASH PANEL. CONTINUED ON MY WAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED UNTIL I GOT TO AN EXIT TO TURN AROUND AND GET BACK HOME. WHEN GETTING BACK HOME AGAIN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS

SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO FIRST GEAR AT 55 MPH *TT CONSUMER STATED MOLDED LEAD FRAME WAS REPLACED AND REPAIRED. *JB

I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE GAS STATION AROUND 2230 HRS ON A WINTER NIGHT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN I SUDDENLY HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG; LITERALLY SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT, I QUICKLY LOOKED AROUND, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING AT THE TIME. IT WAS DARK AT MY HOUSE WHEN I GOT HOME, I WALKED AROUND THE TRUCK BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OBVIOUS AT THE TIME. WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SHATTERED, NO HOLE, NO PIECES MISSING, NO OBVIOUS SIGNS IT WAS STRUCK. THE WINDOW IS ACTUALLY BOW OUT A BIT LIKE THE FORCE WAS FROM THE INSIDE.

WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT UP AND DOWN AT RANDOM, SO I SLOWED TO ALMOST A STOP AND ALL SHIFTS WERE FINE AFTER THAT

SEVERAL ISSUES SPANNING 5 MONTHS AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT: 1. RANDOMLY FROM A STOP F-150 WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR FOR 5+ SECONDS WHILE REVVING RPM AT 5,000+. 2. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR WILL DISPLAY ON DASH PANE AND SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 0 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING SPEEDS OF 45 MPH. TACHOMETER WILL WORK AS NORMAL. TO CORRECT I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. 3. LATEST SCENARIO 12/30/18 WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY F-150 WILL HARD DOWNSHIFT TO A LOW GEAR AND TOGGLE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW GEARS CAUSING VIOLENT JERKING EXPERIENCES PRODUCING VERY DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SCENARIOS.

2 INSTANCES OCCURRED: 1/ THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A REGULAR STREET ROAD. SPEED WAS AROUND 30 MPH. THE GEAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE 'LOOKED UP'. IT WAS A BRUTAL STOP. AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY 2/ FEW WEEKS LATER, BUT WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE COMPLETED SINCE THE FIRST EVENT, THE CAR GEARS SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 5TH. THE VEHICLE JUST TURNED, ENTERING A CAR PARK AT LOW SPEED. AFTER STOPPING COMPLETELY THE VEHICLE, IT RESTATED NORMALLY. THE ISSUE HOWEVER REPEATED FEW MINUTES LATER, GEARS AGAIN SHIFTING FROM 2 TO 5.

WE HAVE HAD THE BACK DOOR LOCK FREEZE AND CANNOT UNLOCK BACK DOORS. WE ARE REPLACING PASSENGER BACK DOOR LOCK FOR SECOND TIME AND HAVE REPLACED DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK ONCE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE AND IF IN ACCIDENT IT COULD CAUSE A DEATH. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THREE TIMES REPLACING LOCKS IS TOO MUCH!

THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AND NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. *DT*JB

TWO PROBLEMS: I) FROM A STOP, SUCH AS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE INSTRUCTION LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, YIELD (BEFORE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY), STOP SIGN, PARKING SPOT, ETC, THE TRUCK ATTEMPTS TO START MOVING FORWARD IN 5TH GEAR. THE TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD UNLESS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN 5TH GEAR. II) MORE CONCERNING IS THAT THE TRUCK DECIDES TO DOWNSHIFT INAPPROPRIATELY (E.G. IT SHOULD UPSHIFT OR STAY IN GEAR, BUT DOWNSHIFTS ERRATICALLY CALLING). THIS LEADS TO STOPPING SHORT AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BUCK. IT RESULTS IN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PRESENTS A HORRIBLE RISK TO DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. HAD TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD OVER A CURB CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND ALMOST A HEART ATTACK! I HAVE 68,000 MILES ON A TRUCK THAT SHOULD LAST FOR AT LEAST DOUBLE THAT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BABIED AND WELL-MAINTAINED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THIS IS SAD THAT FORD WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH KNOWN ISSUES. REF: MOLDED LEADFRAME ISSUE INCLUDING TSB 13-6-8

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 3RD GEAR AT 55 MPH. AFTER THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR. SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND LET SIT FOR 2 HOURS AND THEN DROVE HOME, NO ISSUE. CALLED DEALERSHIP TO REPORT ISSUE. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, LOCKING UP REAR WHEELS. VEHICLE DID THIS 3 MORE TIMES DURING THE TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE IS AT DEALERSHIP NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIME FORD SACO (857 PORTLAND RD, SACO, ME 04072, (207) 282-0300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,480.

THE DRIVERS SEAT HAS A LOT OF POPPING AND MOVING WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING. TRUCK ONLY HAD 20,040 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS BEEN A ISSUE FROM THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED. FEELS LIKE THE SEAT MAY JUST COMPLETELY BREAK AT ANY MOMENT.

WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED TO 3RD GEAR AND REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP.

WHEN I ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY TO MERGE OR PASS MY TRUCK LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY CAN NOT ACCELERATE. IT SHUDDERS FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FLASHING AND IT SUDDENLY COMES BACK TO LIFE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS A HIGH PRESSURE PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I REPLACED IT AND IT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. THE MORE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THE MORE I FIND ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AND RECALL THESE TRUCKS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP HOPING THEY CAN FIGURE IT OUT. LAST FORD TRUCK I WILL EVER OWN.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY FROM 1ST TO 5TH AROUND 5 -10 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES STICKS IN 1ST GEAR OR STARTS OUT IN 5TH GEAR WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE. HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE IN ORDER TO RESET GEAR.

WHILE AT HWY SPEED, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. WHILE STATIONARY GOING TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE STARTED IN 4TH. VEHICLE IS 2013 FORD F-150. 2011 AND 2012 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCKS WERE RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP"... FOUND FAULT WITH OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL. CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO INTO LIMP MODE DUE NOT READING THE CORRECT SPEED. TO CORRECT ISSUE REMOVED TRANSMISSION FLUID PAN AND REMOVED MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY AND REPLACED MOLDED LEAD FRAME CONTAINING SPEED SENSOR. ALSO SET PCM/TCM TO LATEST CALIBRATION AND CLEARED DTC'S POST ROAD TEST."

USED REMOTE START ON TRUCK. TRUCK WARMED UP FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MINUTES, OUTSIDE TEMP 40 DEGREES. UPON ENTERING TRUCK , A LOUD EXPLOSION RESEMBLING A GUNSHOT OCCURED. MY 4 Y/O DAUGHTER FRIGHTENLY POINTED OUT THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE GLASS HAD SHATTERED. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS DEFECT ON FORD FORUMS.

SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT INTO LOW GEAR, FEELS LIKE FIRST GEAR. REAR WHEELS LOCK AND SLIDE. SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS 0, AND ODOMETER DISPLAYS 0, DIGITAL GAUGES IN THE CENTER GO BLANK. THIS IS FOLLOWED WITH A LOSS OF POWER. COASTING TO A SAFE PLACE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, RESTART AND HAVE GAUGES BACK, DRIVING WITH NORMAL SHIFT POINTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 14 DAYS. AND THIS TRUCK IS NOT A DAILY DRIVER, SO THIS IS OCCURRING EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. WE ONLY USE THIS TRUCK FOR DRIVING IN THE CITY, WE ARE TERRIFIED OF DRIVING ON ANY INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY OR AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO THE LOCKING UP OF THE REAR WHEELS. THERE IS NO PHOTO DOCUMENTATION DUE TO THE RAPID ONSET OF THE DOWNSHIFT. I FEAR THIS VEHICLE WILL BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OUR TRUCK SHUT DOWN STOPPED WORKING. WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A WRENCH THAT APPEARED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CODE OF ISSUE INDICATED AN ISSUE. NO CODE WAS DETECTED. WE WERE TOLD THAT PERHAPS IT WAS BAD FUEL. WE PURCHASED A FUEL CLEANER. AGAIN, WE TRAVELED DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND AGAIN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT THE BRACKET HOLDING THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BROKEN. WE REPLACED THE PART. STILL THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO REASON. WE AGAIN TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND FINALLY A CODE APPEARED. THE CODE INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH WAS IN ERROR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. WE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. A VERY DANGEROUS SIT-IN 2, 1. THE DRIVE SHAFT COULD HAVE SEIZED THE REAR WHEELS, THEREBY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. 2. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SWITCH INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT BOTH OF THESE SITUATIONS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT, YET FORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, SEND OUT A WARNING TO OTHERS THAT MAY BE EFFECTED. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO PROVIDE NO INDICATION OR WARNING TO PEOPLE THAT OWN THESE VEHICLES. 2011 AND 2012 HAVE BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE HAVE YOUR VEHICLES CHECKED FOR BOTH ISSUES. THE CODE THAT FINALLY RESULTED IN OUR FURTHER INSISTENCE P.1780-00 FOR YOUR AND ANY PASSENGERS SAFETY. PLEASE HAVE YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WITHOUT IMPACT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (JENKINS FORD, 8 BILLINGSLEY DR, BUCKHANNON, WV 26201, (800) 400-7770) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TRUCK ERRATICALLY SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 55MPH CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP AS IF I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES. THERE IS A LARGE WRENCH ICON ON THE DISPLAY WHICH CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ 0 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ODOMETER READING IS DASHES "-------.--" TRUCK WILL ALSO GET STUCK IN FIRST GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AS I WAS EXPECTING TO. TRUCK WILL ALSO GET STUCK IN FIFTH GEAR WHILE AT A STOP. DASHES AND WRENCH CLEAR WHEN TRUCK IS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. ERRATIC BEHAVIOR IS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND MAKES ME FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN DRIVE, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL GLASS REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

IN FEB 2018 TRUCK BEGAN RANDOM HARD SHIFT AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IN AUGUST 2018 AT 70 MPH, HAD A MOMENTARY LOCK UP OF REAR WHEEL, CAUSING THE WHEELS TO CHIRP ON THE ROAD AND RELEASE, SLOWED TO A STOP, PLACED IN NUETRAL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL SEEMED NORMAL. ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH AT STEADY SPEED OBSERVED SPEEDOMETER INDICATION MOMENTARILY DROP TO 50 MPH AND BACK TO 60 MPH, SHORTLY AFTER THE FUEL ECONOMY ON THE COMPUTER AVERAGE DROP FROM 18.5 MPG TO 17.5 MPG. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IN DECEMBER 2018 AFTER STOPPING IN IDLE, MOVED TRUCK FROM PARK TO DRIVE, FELT NO POWER TO MOVE OBSERVED I WAS IN 5TH GEAR. PLACED IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPOKE TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE UNTIL ISSUE WAS REPEATED. I HAVE ORDERED AND WILL REPLACE THE LEAD FRAME ASSEMBLY AS THAT APPEARS TO BE THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE, AND CLEAN AND INSPECT ALL CONNECTIONS TO TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE THE RECALL ON 2012 COVERED ON THE SAME TRANSMISSION, FORD DID NOT INCLUDE 2013 IN THIS RECALL.

PUT THE FORD F150 INTO GEAR, WOULD NOT SHIFT UP FROM 1ST GEAR. SAME ISSUE WE HAVE BEEN HAVING AND HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK AND RESTART

FORD F-150 PROWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED RESULTING IN A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. MAKING A LEFT IN ALAMEDA ON TO HIGH ST. STRING FAILED AND I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID GOING ON TO THE CURB. I WAS STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE CARS SWERVED AROUND ME.

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVES ERRATICALLY. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP ALL POWER IS LOST. A BIG WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM FORCED TO COAST OR LIMP OUT OF TRAFFIC. USUALLY IT WILL STOP IF I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCE IS SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. AGAIN I NEED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER POWERTRAIN ISSUE I HAVE EXPERIENCED, HOWEVER NOT AS DANGEROUS. IS ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAGES WILL GO BLANK. NO SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, OR ODOMETER. SOMETIMES I'LL SEE THE BIG YELLOW WRENCH. AGAIN, TO FIX THIS I NEED TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. I HAVE A 2013 FORD F-150 XLT WITH 3.5 ECOBOOST APPROXMITTLY 80,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCE AT LEAST ONE OF THESE THREE PROBLEMS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BOOM AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER BECAME ACTIVATED, POTENTIALLY, AND THE INTENSE HEAT CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. FAIR OAKS FORD LINCOLN (2055 OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540, (630) 250-5750) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,500.

2013 FORD F-150 SUPERCAB FX4. POWER SLIDING REAR WINDOW WITH DEFROST SHATTERED WITHOUT IMPACT. I HAVE A FIBERGLASS TOPPER, SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE WINDOW. THE DRIVER-SIDE SHATTERED, BUT THE SLIDER AND PASSENGER-SIDE WERE UNAFFECTED. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 30S FAHRENHEIT; NOT SURE WHETHER THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WAS ACTIVATED. I HEARD THE GLASS BREAK WHILE I WAS DRIVING, BUT DID NOT REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION.WHEN I CLOSED THE DRIVER-SIDE REAR DOOR, I HEARD THE GLASS FALL OUT.

MY 2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR SOMETIMES WHILE TRYING TO MOVE FROM A STOP. IT HAS ALSO SKIPPED 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND GOTTEN STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND BARELY ABLE TO MOVE MORE THAN 5 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING 40 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. TYPICALLY PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON FIXES IT. I AM AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TRUCK SUDDENLY DROPS FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1 ST GEAR AND BARKS THE REAR TIRES WHILE TRAVELING AT 60MPH ALSO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES COMPLETELY OUT EXCEPT FOR THE RPM GAUGE IT ALSO DOWN SHIFTS FROM 6TH TO 5TH AND THEN WILL NOT UPSHIFT AND ONLY DOWN SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR ALSO IT HAS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHEN TAKING IFF FROM A RED LIGHT. IT HAS DONE EVERYTHING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY EXCEPT FOR THE 1ST GEAR ISSUE THAT HAPPENED FROM A STOPED POSITION WHEN I STARTED TO TAKE OFF. PROBLEM DOES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND WHEN YOU PULL OVER AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND THEN IT STARTS IT AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 985.00 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE PREVIOUS YEARS TRUCK SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2011 AND 2012 ALSO HAVE READ THE PROBLEM IS STILL ACCOURING ON THE 2014 MODELS AS WELL

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL DOWNSHIFT FROM HIGHER GEARS AND THEN NO LONGER SHIFTS OR REGISTERS SPEED - WRENCH LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON DASH. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL ALSO DROP DOWN TO ZERO AND NO LONGER REGISTER ANY SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK IS MOVING. THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WILL DISPLAY DASHES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR WILL STAY LITE. WHEN YOU UNBUCKLE THE SEAT BELT THE INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE. TOOK IT IN TO HAVE BATTERY TESTED AND HAD 100% CHARGE BUT READING INDICATED A BAD BATTERY SO HAD IT REPLACED BUT ISSUE STILL PRESENTED ITSELF AN HOUR LATER. ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS AND UNABLE TO REPLICATE SITUATION. ALSO TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IF THE ISSUE NEVER PRESENTED ITSELF WHILE THEY HAD THE TRUCK. ASKED IF ISSUE WAS EVER PRESENTED AT THAT FACILITY OR ANY KNOWN ISSUES AND WAS TOLD NO. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 20 DAYS.

I HAVE HAD 3 ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLES BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILING. ALL IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILS AND I AM LEFT WITH LITTLE OR NO BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I HAVE SOME KIND OF CONTAMINATION IN THE FLUID. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SO I AM ADVISED TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS TO THE TUNE OF 2500. DOLLARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD ADDRESS AND WONT HELP ME AT ALL. THE BRAKES DON'T GIVE YOU ANY WARNING WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO FAIL. EVERY TIME THEY FAIL I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED OR INJURED YET. NOBODY CAN GUARANTY ME IF I FIX THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IT WILL WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO.

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY TRUCK STARTED NOT WANTING TO SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR. IT WENT FROM SHIFTING INTO A HIGHER GEAR AS I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, WHICH CAUSED ME TO LOSE PRETTY MUCH ALL POWER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A WRECK IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE MOST WORRISOME PROBLEM WAS THAT IT STARTED SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH, CAUSING THE BACK TIRES TO LOCK AND A LOSS OF ALL POWER. IT HAPPENED A FINAL TIMEWHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. IT WENT FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST CAUSING MY TIRES TO LOCK AGAIN AND ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO WRECK INTO ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, BUT I HAD LOST ALL POWER AND THE RPMS ON THE ENGINE WENT EXTREMELY HIGH. AS SOON AS I COULD I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A PART IN THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS ISSUE IS VERY SCARY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS WRECK AT THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING AT, NOT TO MENTION IF IT WAS A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. IN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND MANY SIMILAR ISSUES AFFECING FORD TRUCKS

DUE TO THROTTLE BODY FAILURE, THE TRUCK HAS GONE INTO A "LIMP" MODE SEVERAL TIMES. NEEDLESS TO SAY FOR THE TRUCK TO SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR EVEN WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN COULD BE DEADLY. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS AND WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ANYONE THE ACCIDENT WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE AND NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR DRIVING. NOT SURE I WANT MY WIFE OR KIDS TO DRIVE ANYTHING MADE WITH FORD'S THROTTLE BODY DESIGN. I SEE THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 TO FIX THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF A RECALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS CUSTOMER IS NOT SATISFIED.

WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK IN DRIVE FROM A PARKED POSITION OR AN IDLING POSITION THE TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR AND THEN HARD TO 1ST AND THEN ALL THE WAY TO 5TH. TRUCK HAS 69,750 MILES. HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. FORTUNATELY NOT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS TIME IS WILL ONLY GO FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND HAS FINALLY COME UP WITH THE WRENCH SERVICE LIGHT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS INJURED OR WORSE.

THURSDAY MORNING 12-6-18 IT WAS ABOUT 0 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT I STARTED MY TRUCK AND TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW / MIRROR DEFROSTER. I WAS ABOUT 2 MILES FROM THE HOUSE WHEN I HEARD A BANG COMING FROM MY BACK SEAT AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IT WAS LOUD ENOUGH THAT IT MADE ME JUMP. AT THE TIME I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS BUT MY REAR DEFROSTER WOULD NO LONGER WORK. I MESSED AROUND WITH IT A FEW TIMES BUT IT WOULD NOT LIGHT THE DASH LIGHT. LATER ON AS THE SUN WAS SHINING JUST RIGHT I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. AT THAT POINT IT ALL BECAME CLEAR TO ME WHAT THE NOISE WAS AND WHERE IT HAD COME FROM. F150 BACK GLASS SHATTERED WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE PORTION OF CENTER SLIDING WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, UNOCCUPIED AND NOT RUNNING. TOPPER IS ON THE BOX, WHICH RULES OUT ANY SORT OF IMPACT.

THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY. THEN SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT THAT SAME SPEED IT SHIFTED TO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR LOCKING UP THE TIRES. THIS CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTED BACK TO 6TH GEAR AND BEGAN SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH AGAIN BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR UNTIL I COULD EXIT THE FREEWAY. UPON EXIT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHEN EXITING LOCKING UP THE TIRES AGAIN.

VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 1 GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. VEHICLE WILL ALSO REMAIN IN HIGH GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP, NO CODES SHOW. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ED KENLEY FORD (877-841-1691, LOCATED AT 1888 N MAIN ST, LAYTON, UT 84041) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUSE 27 IN THE FUSE BOX WAS TOO SMALL AND NEEDED TO BE RELOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

2013 F150 DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN THE TIRES LOCKING UP AS IF I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. IT NOW CONTINUES TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY FROM 1ST TO 6TH TO 3RD. IT ALSO GETS STUCK IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT NORMALLY AND THEN DOWNSHIFT BACK TO FIRST GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY FOR SOME TIME WITH HARD SHIFTING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST GEAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO HAVE ANY NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIPS TAKE A LOOK AT IT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO THIRD GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO DECREASE.
