The driver side airbag warning light in my 2013 ford f-150 recently has become and remains constantly lit up. After reading about all of ford's recent airbag recall issues it seems that the issue with my driver side airbag may be consistent with the defects that led to those recalls by ford.upon contacting the ford dealership where i purchased my truck as well as the ford customer relations department i was informed that my vin is not on their current list of vehicles eligible for an airbag recall. This is a very frustrating situation, i do not feel that i or my family are safe while driving my truck after reading what has been published about ford's suspect airbags. Conveniently this defect became apparent right around the time that my vehicle warranty had expired, the next time i am in the market for a new vehicle i will keep in mind ford's disregard for consumer safety.
On january 13, 2015 i was involved in a head collision with a 18 wheeler. The scenario was a two lane highway (hwy 67, lakeside , ca), there is minimal room for error and upon impact. I remember my brakes depressing completely to the floor board , yet as though there was no air lines. It has been a long recovery, which is why certain things are returning slowly. Yet, i remember that my brakes felt off or un-responsive before impact.
Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and i had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 mph to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 mph and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See ford tsb 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 f-150's too.
We have taken this vehicle in three times for squeeling brakes and it still makes a high pitched noise when i stop.

While in motion, with an adult passenger buckled in, the indicator light for the passenger side air bag often indicates the air bag is off. This has been ongoing since the truck was purchased. We have complained to the dealership several times. Date indicated below does not at all reflect the number of times this has occurred.
Going in motion on the turnpike at 70mph my truck down shifted to 2nd gear. After that the wrench and the airbag light came on the dashboard. The mileage erased and the speedometer stopped working. At a stationary red light my truck would show i was on 3rd gear. Fortunate for me i was by myself when this problem occurred but i could've been with my family and now i'm scared to drive my truck and even more scared to bring he family with me on my truck. That is the newest car in my house and would think it would be the most dependable but unfortunately it's not and i can't even afford to buy another car because i was affected by this pandemic. If i can sell the car back to the bank it would be great because i don't even feels safe bringing this car as the family truck.
Less than 24 hours after tsb 19s07 was performed on my truck, i was entering the freeway when check engine light, airbag light both turned on. Speedometer shut off, read 0, same with odometer. Vehicle refused to shift below 3rd gear. I then had to drive through a merge light to enter freeway and start from 3rd gear. I had to drive the 3 miles or so back home like this. Truck had no issues prior to the recall being done.

Billy cain ford sold a truck to me as low mileage with no carfax damage. Salesman tom chacko promised a carfax report at closing. He failed to produce the report upon delivery to me at work. Tom vowed the truck had no damages. Carfax/auto check showed 4 brake failures and 2 alternator failures. Greene ford verified flood damage 12-11-18. Tom chacko denied their findings 12-12-18, requested written report. Lemon squad documented flood damage 12-26-18. All three reports show consistent flood damage. Jason pirkle warranty/finance manager refused to repair failed emissions stating they were not covered under my extended warranty purchase. The emissions coded 170mi after purchase indicating that code was reset before my purchase. The emissions damage was covered under emissions performance warranty coverage federal mandate. Greene ford gladly repaired the emissions with no issues. Jason pirkle presented the truck to wells fargo bank, state farm insurance, and ford motor warranty division as undamaged value. The truck only has salvage value because of the flood damage. Over $5000 in repairs and 34 days in the repair shop. The truck has massive electrical issues from flood damage. I have not driven the truck since 12-11-2018. Major efforts were taken to deceive the buyer of this truck. If billy cain ford had presented the truck truthfully i would have never purchased the truck. Billy cain ford did a purchase inspection, maintenance service inspection, and complete detail so they had knowledge of flood damage. A registered mail request for buy back was sent to cody cain 1-17-2019 and he not responded to the request. Billy cain ford has not made a honest written offer to resolve this issue to date.
Had the engine studded and drop a cylinder,this is an ecoboost motor,the check engine light started to flash while running rough.it happened as i was passing a tractor trailer on the highway,as i got around him another trailer was coming on behind me,this is when it dropped a cylinder,the trailer almost ran over me.this is a problem with this truck i found out once i did some research,ford needs to do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed.i called the dealer the first time this happened,as far as the studded and he said bad gas keep driving it(59,500 mls). It happened again at 61,381,took to dealer and they did a tsb 14-0017 reprogram,this worked for about a week then it happened again,took it to the dealer 61850mls,they couldn't get it to do it,i picked it up and 20 miles later it did it again,i got it on video this time so theres no questions,seems as though they know about it but are blowing it off, let me get outside warranty then take a look at it.let me tell you if it happensagain, and my family gets hurt i will own ford !!!! thanks for you time.
Vehicle power suddenly shutdown while driving down the freeway.after pulling to the side of the road, engine would only idle.engine would not rev up to a higher rpms.vehicle required towing to a repair center.the following 2 issues were found:1.throttle body needed replaced.2.fuel pump electrical circuit was heat damaged.the repair center told me they are starting to see more of these type of issues on these vehicles.the repair center moved this circuit away from the heat source causing the damage.this appears to be a design issue which could pose a safety problem.a recall should be issued for this problem.
Remote started the vehicle at night, around 7:30 pm on a 23 degree temperature night in central indiana. We then got into the vehicle roughly 5 minutes later. Both doors were then closed and the key was put into the ignition. Once the key was in the ignition, we heard a very loud "bang" noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. We noticed the driver's side 1/3 of the power sliding rear window was shattered. We exited the vehicle to inspect the damage. Nothing was present in the bed of the truck to cause us to believe something had hit it. Upon further investigation online and a certified mechanics opinion, it has come to our attention that this is a "common" issue with ford f-series trucks. The rear defrost mechanism becomes too hot during remote start and causes the tempered glass to become unstable and shatter.
During the start up of my 2013 ford f-150, i proceeded to utilize the rear defroster to get the ice off the rear window. The rear window is comprised of 3 panels of glass, one on each side and the sliding window in the center. Last week, the rear defroster worked intermittently, after several attempts at depressing the button it would eventually turn on, not a week later it does not work at all. Thinking it was possibly the fuse or a problem with the button itself, i searched online to find out if there was something i could do, and found that this is a common issue and requires replacement of the entire back glass and that some had this covered under warranty. I called the ford dealership and talked to the repair department and was told by the manager that he has the same vehicle and the same problem and that the only way to get the rear defrost to work is to replace the entire back glass and that the cost is around $2200.searching online on the f150 forum boards finds that this is a common problem and the fix is replacement of the entire backglass. Because my vehicle has 50,000 miles and is past the 36,000 miles of the warranty it is not fords problem.as this is a safety issue (visibility through back glass) i searched on the governments recall website here and found similar complaints and that many have also experienced the windowing cracking, spidering and exploding when using ' which tells me do not turn on the rear defrost for fear of a broken window exploding while im driving.this is a safety hazard as it distorts and skews my vision and ability to see out of it safely until i can attempt to have ford rectify this issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle downshifted from high gear to first gear, causing the rear wheels to lock up. As a result, the contact's vehicle skidded off the road. In addition, the contact stated that the wrench warning icon illuminated. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to thomasville ford lincoln (1515 e jackson st, thomasville, ga 31792) where it was diagnosed that an electrical failure with the lead frame caused the vehicle to downshift and would need to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was contacted and opened case number: cas14180308. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000. The vin was not available.
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.

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.
While driving on freeway around 70mph, the truck lost complete power. All functionality of vehicle including power steering and hazard flashers were inoperable. Fortunately i was in the right lane and able to guide the vehicle safely to the shoulder. The cause appeared to be bcm connector c2280g (which supplies all power to bcm) had unseated itself and become disconnected. After reconnecting, the vehicle was fully operable again. This is the second time the problem occurred but only the first time while driving highway speeds. The first occurance was in january of 2020. The connector appears to be in good condition and feels like it snaps back securely in place. A quick google search revealed the attached general service bulletin which indicates this is a known problem and an extremely dangerous problem at that.

(parts and labor).
As reported by hundreds of other users, a faulty rear defroster has caused the rear windshield to spontaneously shattered and got pieces in the rear seat. Luckily i was parked at my work parking lot, and there was no child in the backseat. There needs to be a recall or a fix for this. As well as reimbursement for my window.
I excelerated from a stop, suddenly my check engine light started to flash and i started to lose power and acceleration. My vehicle then began to shudder, i let off the accelerator pedal and moved to the side of the road. After about a minute the engine light turned itself off and the full power came back to the truck.

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.
As i tried to accelerate to pass a vehicle the motor in my truck started to miss, the check engine light flashed on and off and i was not able to accelerate. The motor proceeded to idle even though i was pushing in the gas pedal. After about 15 seconds of no response to the gas pedal being pushed the entire truck started shaking as though it was about to fall apart. Another 30 seconds later and everything went back to normal.this occurred in a 2013 f-150 with the ecoboost motor.
Engine fire. A strong smell of burning, electrical wiring order started coming from the a/c vents, i soon noticed smoke coming from under the hood. As the truck slowed to a stop and i guided to the side of the road, open my door, i could see the flames rising and growing larger. By the time i got off the phone with 911, i heard the first blast. In less than 5 mins. Later a larger, louder blast happened. Not long after that, the whole front end was completely melted.

Intermittent rear defroster on occasion. While sitting in driveway attempting to get rear defroster to operate the back drivers side glass shattered. Sounded like a bullet/rock hit window but impossible due to direction of window as it was facing the back of the garage. Seemed odd but when i investigated through my dealership they claimed to have heard of the rear defroster causing this but because it was glass and not covered to contact ford. I contacted ford and they advised me that no records of anything like this were on file and that there was no way to prove that the window was broken by the defroster thus it was not covered by my warranty or extended warranty. Since this is a power three glass window with defroster it will need full replacement at a cost of over $1000 with no guarantee it will not happen again.
I had just exited the freeway and was at a red light when the truck message board read shift to park , i did that and the truck basically shut down , flashing both a service advancetrac message as well as a start system fault message. The hazard lights would not work nor any signal in the vehicle, the radio, dome lights worked but the keyless remote keys were not working. So we called ford roadside assistance and was stuck on the bottom of a freeway off ramp for 3 hours with no hazard lights functional i had to pop the hood and open my driver side door and stand outside of the truck to let other drivers know we were stalled it was a very nerve racking experience i'm just thankful nobody hit us as were basically just sitting ducks at the bottom of a busy freeway off ramp. Please fix this issue before some one gets killed.
This truck was driven daily and has been owned since new.no aftermarket accessories, all stock.the truck was parked in my warehouse over the weekend.when i returned on monday morning i found the dashboard burned and melted, airbag deployed, and headliner scorched.i believe the airbag extinguished the fire and kept it from spreading outside the truck and possibly destroying my business.the truck has not been inspected by anyone other than mechanics working on quotes to repair it.the truck is still at my business and available for your inspection.there were no warnings of any kind.
The fuel management system blew the fuse.i looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring.they do not simply replace the mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse.when i explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now i have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running.the service manager also told me i was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect.this has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design.the vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway.
Ford f150 rear defrost shattered rear driver side window after remote start posing safety risk to vehicle occupants.
My daughter rolled down the window, it made a strange noise and stopped.she tried to roll it down again and the window fell all the way into the door and would not come up again.
I used the remote starter in the morning to warm up my truck. As i entered the driver side door and sat down i heard a loud pop almost like a small gun fired. Shortly after i could hear the crunching of the rest of my back window shattering. I could also smell smoke inside the vehicle. After checking on line it seems this is a common issue with the rear de-froster.
While driving to work today, and making a right hand turn, my vehicle completely shut off. That is, the engine died, the power steering died, and the brakes died while the truck came to a complete stop in the middle of the lane.let me reiterate - the truck completely died in the middle of the road and there was a complete loss of control over the vehicle. Had there been another vehicle, object, or person in front of me, i would have likely collided with them (thankfully the road was empty)research has lead me to find that this is a known issue with ford and the f150 series from years 2010 to approximately 2014. Fuse number 27 in the engine fuse box is undersized from the factory and melts due to the inability to handle the amperage. I found mine melted after today as well. Ford has "addressed" this issue with a tsb (ford tsb-15-0137 see attached) which it charges customers for to replace the fuse and wiring for the fuse with a new, up sized fuse and wires. They do not cover this free of charge unless your truck is under warranty.as this is a glaring safety issue that numerous people have reported, i ask that the nhtsa investigate this and have ford initiate a recall on the affected vehicles, and make the repair free of charge to customers. This issue is a manufacturing flaw and one that has the ability to cause loss of life and property due to failure to control the vehicle.some forums where people have reported the same issue:http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/engine-cut-off-low-oil-pressure-warning-11894/index16.htmlhttp://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/ford-raptor-fuel-pump-fuse-issue-45129/index37.htmlhttps://www.f150forum.com/f12/engine-shots-off-while-driving-402848/http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/31-f150-ecoboost-problems/26113-engine-randomly-died-while-driving.html
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.
Using the factory remote, i started the 2013 ford f150 for first time of the day 12/18/14 and entered vehicle 5 minutes later. Put key in column ignition. Did not touch any controls. With the transmission still in park, a very loud noise occurred. One section of the rear window / backlite had shattered top to bottom, edge to edge. The outdoor temperature was 24f, the heat setting was 67f. Vehicle was backed into driveway withgarage behind. Nothing could have hit the window from the outside and the vehicle hadn't moved, yet the glass practically exploded. There are dozens of very similar experiences shared on several internet forums involving years 2010 forward of the same model truck -- same generation. Ford has not created a tsb and there isn't a recall, and ford has made no indication that they will do anything about it. They referred me back to a dealer to document the damage.local ford dealer told me afterward that the rear window defrost turns on automatically with the remote start feature. Now driver visibility is obscured and i'm concerned about the safety of the electrical heating element. Reportedly fires have occurred with this situation. I won't be using the rear defrost under any circumstances -- even in northern illinois, in the winter. It seems most owners have been denied warranty claims because ford stated the damage was to glass, which isn't covered under the warranty. The glass isn't the problem, its the evidence.ford said it is up to the dealer to determine if the damage is due to a manufacturer's defect to get replacement under warranty. The dealer service manager told me they submit a warranty claim with photos to ford which will either approve or deny the claim. The dealer quoted $800.00 installed to replace the entire backlite assembly. The two different stories are troubling. I'm already preparing myself for the run-around.
As i am driving the 2013 ford f-150 raptor 6.2l the gears seem to be off, if i am driving only 30mph the gear is at 6. Also the more dangerous and scary thing is that it shifts down without any warning, i was traveling about 35mph and the gear seem to shift down to 1 locking my rear tires and making me skid almost causing the vehicle behind me to run into me. The tires locked almost as if i put the brakes on. I'm glad i was only going 35mph but what if i'm going 80, this would be a more dangerous and scary scenario. It also happened when i turned on to a street and as i started to accelerate it dropped my gear to 1, locked my wheels and acted like it didn't want to shift or accelerate , i pulled off to the side of road, i sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened and went on my way nervous if it will happen again, which it didn'tand made it home.next day i took to ford and they said they cant duplicate the issue so there is nothing we can do. This is scary , i don't fell safe with me and my son in this vehicle. What could be causing this dangerous situation? what is my next opposition to get this fixed. Thank you
Used remote start to warm vehicle and the 1/3 of the rear glass (the driver's side) exploded and spidered.research shows this is a common problem and likely due to faulty defroster.ford doesn't part out the glass so the entire rear window needs to be replaced at a cost of over $650.my vehicle is garaged when at home and is in excellent condition with only 51400 miles.since it is over 36000 miles, ford won't do anything or assist with costs.
Rear defrost and defrost light won't come on. Upon further research problem will explode the rear window. Only way to solve rear defrost problem is to replace whole rear window.
My truck failed to start, and when i investigated the issue i found fuse 27 (located in the battery junction box at the front of the engine bay) melted causing circuit for the fuel pump to open which left the truck without a functioning fuel system (fuse 27 is part of the circuit for the fuel pump). Replacing the damaged fuse resolved the issue while a more robust solution is determined.if this had happened during operation the vehicle would have lost power, been unable to steer due to an electric assisted steering system and become a hazard for other vehicles while putting the occupants of the truck, and any vehicle that collides with it, at risk for injury or death. Ford issued a technical service bulletin (tsb 15-0137), but this is not commonly known outside of vehicle-specific social media platforms on the internet (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1449733-tsb-15-0137-fuel-pump-fuse.html). Ford knows about the issue and the consequences are obvious. The fix ford recommends is inexpensive (under $30 in parts) and not very time consuming (0.6 flag hours).
Fuel pump fuse melted causing truck to lose power while on freeway. Very dangerous.
1/26/17:it was 45 degrees this morning so i used the remote start (factory supplied on key remote) to get my truck running before leaving for work. As i walked outside (did not touch the truck), i heard a loud gunshot. Thinking something had fallen on the truck i looked up and it was not parked under anything. I walked around the truck to find that the drivers side panel of the back window was spidered. Again, i was not driving or parked under or around something that could have impacted my truck/window.
While driving my 2013 ford platinum f-150 at approximately 35 mphgoing straight on a town road heading to the highway, the wrench service light came and and instantly putting the truck into "limp" mode only allowing me to drive 5 mph. I am lucky not to be in highway traffic. I did have my family with me heading on a 5 hour journey. Completely unsafe!after a few restarts the same wrench light came on as well as the check engine light. And again the vehicle went into limp mode allowing me to drive 5mph.the grieco ma ford dealer said it was a failed throttle body, vehicle only has 55k miles on it and has been serviced regularly at the aforementionedford dealer!i hope this safety issue gets recalled so no one will ever have to go through the situation like i did ever again!
Vehicle stalls randomly while driving,no matter if it's on the highway or city streets. This is dangerous. It has been to the dealer 4 times.it's there now and they are unable to figure it out.ford is aware of this problem and recalled the 2011 and 2012 and some 2013s.but not mine. This vehicle needs to be recalled.it's an accident waiting to happen.it left me stranded it rural colorado in a snow storm in 7 degree weather with my daughter.i did restart but that would have been really bad had it not.
Traveling 50 mph on a 4 lane road when engine shut off. Had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. I was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. The truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. Took to ford dealership the next morning. They said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. Put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot and malfunction. The cost was $250. I asked it there was a recall and they said no. I said someone is going to get killed because this is dangerous. The response was we have been getting a lot of these. I was lucky and was able to get off the road. The next person might not be as lucky. Something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.
I started my truck and the wrench light came on. The truck was in limp mode and would not accelerate. I restarted the truck and was able to pull it back in the driveway. I plugged in an obd code reader and it gave a p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed." upon some research i found several models between 2011 through 2015 have had similar issues causing dangerous situations on the highway. The issue was moving when it first occurred, but thankfully it was just outside my driveway, i hadnt made it to the highway yet. I restarted the truck, and was able to park it in the driveway.
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.
While driving on the interstate at approximately 55 miles an hour on straight road at steady speed without warning the truck began to lurch jump and lose power, regain power and losepower.i noticed that the speedometer was very erratic and i had a light flashing on the dash as well. This pattern repeated until i eventually had to pull off the side of the road and restart the truck. It drove correctly the rest of the way home after that.
Turned on rear window defroster and heard loud pop and back window had shattered. The vehicle was parked at the time.
2013 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag system, cruise control system and other electrical issues.the consumer stated he returned the vehicle to the dealer twice, for the issues.the dealer failed to identify any electrical faults in the air bag system.a month later,during service on the air bags, the horn failed to operate.
Driving and truck died, without power, brakes, steering difficult., no dash lights, no hazard lights, nothing.tried to restart, nothing,pushed it out of highway. Used car dealer, replaced pcm?now it drives, engine light on. Taking to dealer, first available appointment next week.28,000 miles f150 2013 4x4 pickup.only getting 13.5 mpg without trailer, worse with. Not happy.
A critical 20 amp fusethat gives power to the fuel relay which powers the fuel pumpblewrendering my vehicle in operable. It would not start at all. This is a known issue to ford motor company. They have a tsb also known as a technical service bulletin 15'0137. This "fix" merely relocates the fuse so that the known potential for failure does not melt the fuse housing. This does not solve the problem of why the fuse is blowing. This service is also not covered; as the dealer expects me to pay for the fix. The fuse housing on my truck is melted and chard from the failed fuse . To me this is a safety issue both for the potential of fire and losing propulsion due to the consequential loss of fuel to the engine .
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the instrumental panel caught on fire and flames emitted through the vents and melted the dash board on the front passenger side area. The contact sustained third degree burns to the right hand, the front seat passenger sustained smoke inhalation, and the rear passenger suffered emotional stress that all required medical attention. The vehicle was towed for further inspection. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The fire department was present. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 02/07/2017*ct
After a prolonged period (8+ hours) of driving at highway speeds in frequent rain the vehicle shuddered and stalled (without completely dying) while in a passing maneuver.the service engine light flashed multiple times then went out.as a consequence of the power loss my vehicle was unresponsive to accelerator input and resulted in compromised safety between two rapidly converging vehicles.after approximately 10 -15 seconds the engine resumed normal operation.
This is the 5th incident with the same problem, but worst now. I had this truck at the ford dealership on monday june 17,2013. They saidit will be hard to diagnosis without a fault code. How is it they can tell me how fast i have been driving for the past month, but the inboard computer cannot tell ford technicians what is wrong.the engine cut off again for the 5th time, but this time it would not start. The instrument showed 2 icon's this time, a ( wrench and check oil ), i'm sorry but the wrench indicates i believe something to do with a rear end on a 4 x 4 truck, sorry this is only a 2 wheel drive vehicle. I tried the ( 2 )recommendation in the instruction book and when turned the ignition to start it only tried for less than 3 seconds, then the power to the ignition went blank. I tried for 30 minutes, then called ford road side assistant for a tow truck, which was dispatched within a hour. I had already called ford friday june 21,2013 for an appointment for # 3 & 4with the engine cutting off. I then called saturday morning and asking then for a better appointment, they gave me one for monday 6-23,2013 instead of tuesday 6-24-2013.i badly need transportation this next week, i'm going to ask ford for ambulance service this next coming friday june 28,2013, i am a disabled senior veteran and having hip injections next friday out of town at the veterans hospital and need a care giver,since i won't be able to drive after the procedure.ford this is beginning to be avery serious condition when driving and probably cause accidents very soon. Lets get the problem fixed or order me a new truck because of north carolina lemon law.
Rear window exploding after using defrost. After turning on rear window defroster, i heard a loud pop and found that the back window had shattered. After reading multiple instanes online of this happening, i beleive this should be a recall issue. Ford is aware of the issue and wants to do nothing about it. If a child was seated in the seat when this happened, there would be pieces of glass all over them.
As of january 28, 2013 my 2013 f-150 has continually had electrical issues resulting in a dead battery that has not been corrected as of today, 3/10/2014. Error messages that arise include " battery saver on' and "audio off" indicators and after jumpstarting the vehicle will start with the key in the "on" position and in some cases such as mine, the vehicle will not shift out of 5th gear until the ignition is cycled off and then on again. Over the course of the previous 2.5 months i have had my vehicle in the dealership service department 6 times totaling over 30+ days. This vehicle has left me stranded on multiple occasions requiring me to find someone to jumpstart it each time. There are an increasing number of complaints on this year model for the exact same issue with no resolution from ford. I have utilized every possible avenue to get this issue resolved and am hoping that by filing this complaint i can bring greater attention to an issue that is affecting a growing portion of f-150 owners.
I was on my way to work as a firefighter for my shift when with no warning my truck went from high gear straight down to first gear then to park causing sudden stop and a minor accident on i275 cincinnattithen coming home it instantly went into park on us route 50 causing my truck to go out of control and swerved over into the oncoming lane almost hitting someone head on then could not move the truck as it was stuck in park sitting sideways between both lanes i finally was able to get it to move again but it barely moved as it was in high gear stuck there.i was able to barely remove it from the road and had to have a tow truck retrieve it and bring it to my house this is a real safety issue that ford is not in a hurry to fix on a recall issue on the transmissions therefore leaving me without a truck or vehicle to drive almost had a serious crash twice now.plus my transmission is completely out of my truck now no movement for any loading etc.
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 fineand 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.
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
I'm requesting the nhtsa investigate f150 accelerator pedals that are placed too closely to the cabin floor vent. The cabin floor vent on the driver side is perpendicular and to the right of the accelerator pedal at a distance of 3.5 inches. My foot is wider than the pedal, so when my foot is resting on the accelerator it is only 1-2 inches from the vent. Since my foot is directly in front of the vent, it blocks all airflow. Setting the floor vents on heat means that hot air blows directly on the outside edge of my right foot. Within 1-2 minutes of activation, my foot becomes uncomfortably warm from the barrage of hot air. The result is a painful, burning sensation and extreme physical discomfort in my foot. Using an infrared thermometer, i gathered temperature readings of the air exiting the vents. The ac was set to maximum heat. All readings were taken while the truck was idle. Outside temperatures were 30 f. The thermometer measured temperatures in excess of 140 f from all vents.the reading of the vent next to the accelerator was 141.5f. I placed an empty shoe on the accelerator and left it there for 3 minutes. Readings of the shoe while on the accelerator were in excess of 120f. I removed the shoe from accelerator and took readings after it cooled for 3 seconds. The shoe's temperature was 115f. The shoe remained warm to the touch for several minutes. Leaving the vents at the same settings, i took measurements of the bare skin of my hands and arms. Temperature readings were between 89-91f. Skin can be burned in a relatively short period of time when exposed to temperatures in excess of 120f. My own discomfort confirms this. I contacted 3 ford dealers regarding this problem and explained my findings. Two dealers said that the pedals in my model ford were nonadjustable, so the issue was not actionable. I also contacted ford directly. So far no solution.
Intermittent problems with the rear defrost last couple of months. Then, last night, the temperature was about 20f. I turned rear defrost on and the light for the defroster went out and wouldn't turn back on.a couple of minutes later, i heard a loud bang from the back and the passenger's side stationary window pane was shattered.
While driving down the street at roughly 40 mph, my truck all of a sudden just shut off. Lost power steering and power brakes. Once off to the side of the road i tried to restart the vehicle with no luck. It continued to crank but would not start. After waiting roughly 10 minutes i tried to start it one more time and it started. I was able to get the truck home where i was able to start investigating the problem. While searching the internet, i found "tsb 15-0137" from ford as to the possible problem. To my amazement it was the exact same problem i had had. The fact that this is a known problem that causes the engine to shut down, a loss of power steering, and a loss of power brakes and it's not considered a recall, along with the fact that it could cause an electrical fire, is more than disturbing.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle.the acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
Battery drains down when off.this has happened multiple times. Sometimes over night, sometimes over 2-3 days. Changed battery and it drains down.
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.
My 2013 ford f-150 raptor has had two complete burned up master fuse boxes occur on my truck. The original one burned out and melted at 36k miles about a year ago. Ford covered it under factory warranty. This second one has just burned up at 80k. Same exact thing. There is a serious defect on this vehicle. This is also an issue with many 2013 model ford raptor f-150. Accoring to online reports and various dealer comments. For safety purposes this is a severe enough and continual issue that a recall needs to be made.four people i know who have owned this truck between 2011-2013 have all had the same issue.vehicle will not start or operate when this issue occursit's abnormal to have such and issue with a safety risk and the potential of the vehicle catching fire. It happens so often apparently there is a major back order on the fuse box replacement. Last time i was told it would take 6months to get the part.
Sitting in my driveway before i left so the truck was stationary and turned on my rear window defrost and heard a load bang, noticed the passenger rear panel of my sliding rear window window shattered.
After using rear defrost, left side of the rear window shattered with a loud pop, sending bits of glass onto pax in the back seat.after reading online this is a known issue with this model of truck and needs to be a safety recall.
Vehicle was in motion, pulling a trailer and the light came on and then shut down completely. Turned it off then back on and it was fine for 2 blocks then did it again. It took several attempts to get it to the dealership. They informed it is electronic throttle body failure.
Within 5 minutes of starting the vehicle i smelt a burning plastic odor while entering the highway. Once on the highway i noticed my a.c. Was not working, i rolled down my window and attempted to turn up the blower speed. Shortly after smoke starting blowing out from the vents, the defrost area, and around the touch screen. Within minutes the smoke was thick and green with an electrical fire odor. (i could identify this as i am certified through the state of missouri, firefighter 1 and 2). I used my left blinker to pass a vehicle to exit the highway, the smoke intensified to where i couldn't see or breathe. I exited the hwy. I parked in a private lot and exited the vehicle as melting flaming plastic was dripping at my feet, and opened the hood. No flames present under the hood. I looked through the pass. Window and flames were pouring from under the dash with a starting point of the center of the dash area. Within minutes the vehicle was fully involved.
Rear window shattered while rear defrost was on, in 35 degree temperature. Car was parked and stationary, in covered parking unit, driven 10-miles from home to work. Loud bang heard, and immediately saw the shattered glass in the driver side rear-view window. This has clearly happened many times prior, and this has been attributed to faulty defrost system.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle accelerated and then stalled. The wrench warning indicator illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. When the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, it drove normally. The vehicle was taken to rogers ford (4200 w wall st, midland, tx 79703, (432) 694-8801), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
When entering onto the interstate i felt the truck was not getting up to speed. I then noticed on my dashboard a big wrench. I felt my truck continue to not gain speed even though i was stepping on the gas.the screen then went black and and when the dashboard came back on i had nothing showing. No mph ,fuel economy, etc and i was stuck in 5th gear.i could not increase speed but only decrease ifi stepped on the break.i don't know how fast i was going but it was not fast at all since everyone was passing me(maybe 40 mph).i also noticed my airbag light was on. I had to pull over on the interstate and restartmy truck.once i did that everything came back on and worked for the rest of the ride. I was recently part of a ford recall but had that fixed.i had the automatic downshifting happen to me 3 times before the first recall was in place. I just got a letter last week that they need to redo the recall, i had the downshifting happen to me and this was not it. This is a entirely different safety issue that is making me afraid to drive my own truck since most of my time is on the interstate. Photos are attached of what was happening to me on the interstate.
While driving from ohio back to north carolina, my wife and i were travelling at 75 mph when suddenly and without warning my truck abruptly stalled to 5 mph with no power from the accelerator. I managed to get the truck out of the high speed lane on a two lane highway and on to the side of the road. I turned the truck off. A few minutes later, i turned the truck back on and all function resumed. This has happened in the past, but when i took it in for work there was no issue reported or read and the error could not be replicated. The truck was towed to a ford dealership. Service informed me i had a bad throttle body. This truck was part of a "customer satisfaction program" run in 2013 for a bad throttle body and total loss of acceleration.my truck received the repair in 2014 voiding the throttle body 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty. The safety concern remains and is endangering my life, my wife, and our future child. The part might be replaced without fixing the problem. An electrical issue may keep this vehicle having reoccurrences. This has me very concerned about a service that does not increase vehicle safety. And because of that concern i began to inquire if anyone else has had this issue. It turns out that in 2015 a class action suit was filed against ford and settled on individual basises (janis benkle et al v ford motor company). Currently, there are no programs to assist owners like myself in this situation. The original program is no longer valid and the repair performed was only good for one time (that repair apparently would not solve the safety concern as others have stated that the problem persisted after a new throttle body was put in). I have sought out an audience with the "zone manager". However, i have been informed that is impossible ascustomer care will not give that information and neither will the dealership.
My local ford dealership is charging me $2000 for a steering gear that the internal module went bad. From my research, this is a very common issue with the 2013 model and is a recall on the 2014 model. Its an incredibly dangerous situation when it happens. You completely loose power steering and get 3 separate warnings on the dash. I came within inches of hitting another vehicle in a parking lot yesterday.problem is, its sporadic, you never know when its going to happen.i called ford and they, basically, told me its not a recall because there wasn't significant "injury or loss of life" from this issue....but, i guess there was on the 2014 and up models...this is outrageous!! this needs to become a recall immediately!hope you guys can look into this and, hopefully, save the lives that ford is needing in order to fix this issue.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
The down hill decent light and traction control sensor are intermittent which affects the blinkers, the power locks on the doors and sometimes the traction control.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt. In addition, once the vehicle restarted, the speedometer failed to work and the wrench warning sensor illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.
The truck will down shift while driving. It has happened a few times now. I was driving about 30mph and experienced a drop in power and the gauges started jumping all over. It also dropped to 1st gear when i was on the highway doing 70 mph. It felt like someone threw the e-break. Quick jerking motion. I had to pull over and shut the truck off. Thankfully my family was not in the vehicle and no one was directly behind me. The few other times it happened i noticed something going wrong so i quickly pulled off the road and shut it down. Turning it off seemed to "reset" things and let me get home. I had a diagnostic ran and it coded #4 spark plug and #4 coil. I had both of those replaced - and experienced the same issue the very next day! ran another diagnostic and it coded the same way! took it to a ford dealership to check it out and their final answer was "needs a new engine". It has 110k miles on it and i bought it less than 1 year ago and it needs a new engine? i have $700 wrapped up in replacing parts that did not need replacing and diagnostics that did not give me a realistic solution. This does not sound like an engine issue- sounds very similar to the recent recall on the 2011-2012 models. Truck is parked in the driveway. No one in my family will be driving it. Hope to hear that ford recognizes the bigger issue here and steps up to take care of this.
Battery went dead, after charging it the moonroof will not close tightly. Tried to reset it, it just bounces back. It was parked in my driveway.
I have had rear window issues since i bought the truck. First was when the rear defrost/mirror defrost wasn't working. They replaced the window in 2014. Second time was in april of 2017. We had a heavy frost and i couldn't see out the back window or the side mirrors, so i turned on the defrost. About ten minutes lateri was driving down the highway and heard what sounded like a gunshot. I immediately started looking around thinking someone shot at me. I didn't realize right away due to the rear headrest covering a large portion of the window, that the drivers side stationary section of the back window had exploded. The glass stayed intact, however tiny slivers of glass fell onto my daughters car seat which was in front of this window. Ford did replace the window, reluctantly and i paid an insurance deductible, even though the internet is full of people having the same problem. I recently went to turn on my rear defrost again, and found the same issue as the first problem, where the defrost wont work and the likely fix is replacing the rear window. This will be the fourth window in four years. Is this something i should expect to do like oil changes and tires?this is ridiculous. The exploding window can really be an issue. Someone may panic and think its a gunshot, and cause an accident or if someone was sitting there, they could get glass slivers on them. This appears to have been a known issue for years with these windows. Why haven't they been forced to redesign it?
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane.suddenly the wrench warning light and check engine light came on, and the car experienced what appeared to be a total loss of engine power.i placed the hazard lights on and was able to navigate to the shoulder, with 18 wheelers and other cars trying to react to my sudden loss of power and speed.after turning the car off, and restarting it, it appears ok to proceed.this same incident has happened now 8 times in the last few days.i took the car into ford and they are claiming it's an issue with the throttle body.i mentioned that i see a throttle body recall for 2015-2016 f-150's, but ford is denying the issue, indicating there is no recall for my 2013.i find many complaints identical to mine for f-150's earlier than 2015.they also claim ford denies the issue and refuses to fix the problem.most also reference concern for a significant safety issue, feeling that ford will only fix this once people die.i took my f-150 to the local ford dealer today and they verified it was the throttle body, and are charging me $650 to fix it.i have read from others that the component used to fix the problem is the original faulty component, so there is no reason to feel that the problem will not happen again eventually.i have experienced four times on the freeway at 65mph, and several times on city streets at 30mph.i was driving straight, not braking.
Starter system fault was working verynice and stop after, con you help me fix it please, thank you
When out to truck in the morning to clean snow off. I retrieved a pair of gloves out of the backseat and nothing was out of the ordinary. It was approximately 7 degrees f outside. I then went inside and remote started the truck. After a few minutes i went to get in the truck, looked in the rear view and noticed the middle, sliding rear window was open. I turned around and found that the center glass was broken and had shattered into the truck. The two side panels were both completely shattered and still intact. I took the truck to the dealer and asked the parts and service department if this was something theyhad heard of. I told them i felt like the rear defroster combined with the cold exploded the window. They said they had never heard of that. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being repaired at a cost of $1,420. I have filed a complaint with ford and am awaiting a call back as they opened a case number for me. As this stands now it looks like it will come out of pocket and will be filed against insurance.
Rack an pinion defect.all over the forums same run of truck between 2011 and 2013 with traction and hill decent mode errors loss of power steering in bad situations like on highway.ford dealer acknowledged many complaints but ford will not honor repair.my blinker failed power steering locks up and ford says have to replace whole system
The rear window defroster stopped working (winter). In researching the probable cause of the rear defroster issue we found over the past several years there have been countless stories & posts from around the country detailing specifically the issue we were experiencing with the defroster and realizing this was a know issue with this vehicle.there were countless stories, many harrowing accounts of broken rear windows due to the nature of the engineering to repair as well as way too many stories with customers having to deal with local and national ford representatives to try to address the obvious engineering issue.while i may agree this may be a personal observation, there are way too many occurrences of this problem occurring across multiple model years for ford leadership to not be concerned with this issue and doing something to facilitate the corrective actions to address the defect.
The back right drivers side rear window shattered due to the wiring or the rear window defroster.this has happened twice on 12/10/14 and 3/27/15.this is a known defect that ford has not addressed yet.
Driving in traffic friday of the long memorial day weekend, traveling at 75mph, no warning my f150 stalls. Finally get pulled all the way to the shoulder. After sitting for an hour and getting help, it was found that the fuse for the fuel relay had melted. 50 cent part could have caused a deadly crash! why is there not a recall on this? mechanic that worked on my f150 said this is about the 12th one he had worked on. I also see that ford has issued a tsb on this exact same problem.
This is the 2nd time today , i've had this problem and is the 4th episode of the same problem. This is a flex fuel 2013 ford f-150.this is beginning to be a big concern,as stated i was only going about 10 mph,since i was in a shopping center getting ready to park. The engine usual cranks after i come to a complete start and turn the ignition off. I need this fixed asap. I've got a trip planned.
Battery warning light comes. Head lights, interior lights, and instrument panel lights surge. Battery is dead the next morning when i go to start my truck. Be to four garages two where ford certified garages.
The apim or advanced protocol interface module went bad this is the computer screen.the heat would kick on high and blow on high speed and it would get so hot inside the vehicle on a hot day that we literally felt like passing out.there was no way to control the heat or air conditioning systemand we had to open all the windows and sunroof just to cool down and it was still so hot.we had to keep opening the sunroof so many times it broke and was not covered under warranty.the truck only had 99,000 miles on it. Buyer beware the apim unit is only covered for 5 years from warranty start date and i was never notified by ford that this was a recall service bulletin m202.the sunroof would have never went bad had the apim unit not malfunctioned because we never opened it before the unit went bad. Total cost of my repair 2400 for sunroof and 1000 for apim unit replacement.this is a safety hazard because you have to drive with all windows down and it gets so hot you will feel sick.
Rear window defroster works intermittently. After doing research and reading many forums i learned there is a contact in rear window that has shorted out and caused many rear window sections to pop and shatter the glass. When i turn my rear defrost on most of the time it doesn't work but when it does i am afraid the glass will break like it had for so many others. This had also caused me not to use it when my kids are in the truck.
Vehicle exhibited a crank non-start condition. Fuse 27 was examined and found to be melted. These two observations satisfy ford's conditions of tsb 15-0137. Ford knows this is an issue with their design and offers a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293-a). The fuse was melted from poor fuse box contact design. Thankfully, this happened on startup and not while the truck was in motion.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to drive home. Upon reaching home, the vehicle would not restart after numerous attempts. The vehicle was towed to gulf coast ford (3000 state highway 288, angleton, texas 77515, (713) 422-7200) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump fuse within the fuse box melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: cas-16321706. In addition, the contact referenced tsb number: 15-0137 as a potential cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,596. *dtupdated 12/20/18
The contact owns a 2013 ford ford f-150. While driving approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. After shifting into the neutral position, the vehicle restarted and resumed normal operation. The failure recurred five times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for diagnostic testing. A flash update was performed on the cpu each time the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 300.
Three times in the last two months this has happened to me. While accelerating from a stop on a city street the truck will jerk forward and backward chirping the tires like it's slipping gears.while this is happening if i give it gas either it won't rev up or it will rev up but not accelerate almost like it's in neutral. Also, the speedometer drops down to zero and bounces up and down even while the truck is moving when this happens. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle until the problem is corrected and quite frankly i don't feel safe driving it either. I find it terrible that ford has not included the 2013 vehicles into the recall of the earlier models suffering from the same defects.
Sudden downshift into 1st gear at highway speeds. Speedometer and digital displaystops working.
My ford f150 experienced a coolant system leak similar to recalls for other ford models (https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2017/03/29/ford-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recal.html). The problem is so bad with ford trucks around my model year that there is a nationwide backorder of the part to fix the problem. The coolant system's "t connector" was leaking onto my wiring harness and presented a potential fire hazard much like the recall notice for similar ford vehicles. Simply search "2013 ford f150 coolant leak" and the t connector problem is at the top of the search results. Ford dealers and mechanic shops are aware of the design flaw, but ford motor co will not address it as a recall at this time. This needs to be remedied.the leak was occurring when the vehicle was running and in motion.
Vehicle would repeat law battery message. Took to dealer battery tests good. Vehicle would sometimes die overnight with a no start condition in mourning.6 dealer visits and one new battery, "no problem found" from dealer.this vehicle could strand you at any time.i have a open case from ford but problem continues.
This is the 3rd time that this new f-150 truckengine suddenly hascut off. I was at the ford dealership in belmont, n.c on monday june 17,2013. They said they could not find anything wrong. They then said they put in a new update code. I now have only drove about another 50 miles since monday. It cut off again while i was driving about 30 mph on a busy charlotte, nc street. I thought my nuckles were going to part since i had to control the vehicle and not cause an accident. I am schedule to take in back to keith hawthorne ford on tuesday, june 25,2013--there phone number 704-825-5186-service person- will
Power rear middle window shattered when truck was sitting still in parking lot. Rear window defroster was on while driving truck. Windshield wiper come on every twenty seconds with switch in off position
On the 2012 and 2013 model year f150 with rear window defrost it is very common for the electrical wiring or connection to fail and literally blow out the back window. It also affects the heated mirrors if the truck has that option too. When the rear window blows out it can literally blow holes put of the glass. With kids having to ride in the back this is not safe. The rear defrost will work fine or malfunction a couple times and then will eventually fail and break/blow the window out. It is a very well known problem that ford is doing nothing about. I've contacted ford and they refuse to fix it.
Now the second time in and the truck doesn't even have 50k miles on it. Truck would turn over but not start and left my wife and kids stranded in a parking lot where i had to go get them. It's hot as heck in june/july in texas so i know it isn't a cold weather start thing. Researching online we are not the only ones with this problem. Eventually leaving it there and messing with the key and ignition switch i'm assuming it started after a few hours. The truck was not over heated.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at 60 mph, the gear down shifted from sixth gear down to third, back up a few gears then back down, without warning and caused consumer to lose control temporarily. The failure occurred on two occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer llc chapman ford located at llc 3951 columbia ave, columbia, pa 17512 where it was diagnosed that the wire harness melted which needed replacement along with the pcm. In addition, the dealer informed that there might be a possibility that the transmission would have been damaged as well but wont be determined until further use of the vehicle.the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000. *dt
The truck shifts into emergency mode while driving and i have to pull overand stopshut off vehicle and restart. While in idle the vehicle shakes.it is at the ford dealer in beatrice nebraska and they have stated that the electric throttle body needed replaced... 400$ repair.also, air conditioning compressor went out 1500.00 repair on a 2013 vehicle!
The 4x4 tried to turn on while the vehicle is running by it self.
Rear defogger overheated and shattered rear glass window.rear window eventually started to fall out.this is a real safety issue in bad weather.ford has no recall as of today and a lot of these rear windowsare being shattered.
Takata recall. I put my truck in drive and as soon as i get over 2-5 mph it shifts from 1st gear to 3rd. When this happens i loss the speedometer and my turn signals will not turn off. Check engine light comes on with a big wrench in the center of my gauges. Will not down shift below 3rd and will not go into 6th. Also the odometer,mpg, and trips all go blank.code p0720. Output speed sensor circuit. I'm told by ford and a transmission shop that it's in the transmission! truck just hit 69147 miles and i haven't owned it three weeks yet.
Fuse 27 melted, causing the vehicle to be inoperable.the truck was operating with no issues, but then would not start. The engine would turn over, but not fire. After lots of research, this appears to be a common problem with these vehicles.this happened on 3/23/2019 while we were out of town.thankfully we were able to get it started otherwise we would have been stranded several hours from home.it happened again on 3/24/2019.after about an hour, we were able to get it started again and immediately went to a service station.the fuse was completely melted.if this had happened while driving, the outcome could have been tragic.
This morning at about 5:30 am i left to go to the gym and had no problems with my truck. I get home about 7:00 am grab my stuff out of the back and no problems with my truck. Before leaving for work about a half hour later i auto started the truck. I get to the truck to leave for work and i notice my driver side rear window is completely shattered! i did a little research and come to find that this is a reoccurring problem with ford. Either there is a defect with the window or with rear defrost getting to hot or staying on to long. There were little bits of glass on the seat, what if someone was sitting in the back and the whole window shatters? this is not safe and needs to be fixed!
While in motion (60mph) going down a highway, the truck shifts from 6th gear to 1st gear without warning.
Since approximately 5700 miles, when i take long trips in the vehicle (30+ miles), the tpms light will come on with a message saying ?tire pressure sensor fault.? if i continue driving the light will eventually turn off and occasionally come back on in the trip. The light has always come on at freeway speeds. The truck has been brought into the service department multiple times without any guaranteed fix. The service department did replace a faulty, non-responsive tpms sensor, but the problem continues. The issues usually occurs at night, but has happened in the daytime.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving, the service advance trac warning light intermittently illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that while attempting to drive, the steering wheel seized as the power steering and service advance trac warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not able to drive. The contact stated that the vehicle would be towed to his residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,343.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power and the gauges did not function. The failure occurred without warning. The failure was corrected after a manual restart. The failure occurred on three separate occasions. Woodhouse ford (3633 north 72nd street, omaha, ne) was contacted, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
While doing 50 mph, speedometer went to '0', all digital display items went to '0' front airbag light came on, and a large wrench looking display showed.stayed on for a short time.speedometer and fuel economy display did not work for rest of driven then returned to working for next driving use.
Rear defrost button quit working while in my driveway heated sliding back glass and heated mirrors stopped working as well and fuse is good. I can't afford to get it all replaced it should be replaced by ford free of charge
On this new f-150 with eco boost engine ,the engine now has shut down 2 times the last 2 days on june 12 and 13, 2013. The engine oil light came on. I was only going 20 mph when this happened both times since i was stopping at the stop sign 3 blocks from my house. On the highway with the engine in cruise control at speed of 60-65 mph the transmission goes from 6 th gear to 5th gear alot.
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.
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.
The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. For example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right directional.it is not possible to merely move the directional lever up (to indicate a right turn) after turning left in one fluid motion.it requires a) holding the lever down to indicate a left turn b) in the middle of that turn, hitting the lever right two times to indicate a right turn. This is contrary to how typical directional levers work.often it is not possible to signal your intentions to other drivers in a timely fashion - or, the driver may hold the lever up, thinking he has engaged the right directional, but has merely disengaged the left.
Ford f150 supercrew 5.0 v8 6 speed auto transmission. Erratic shifting while driving. Sometimes will stay in 5th gear at a stop wont shift down, sometimes when pulling out in 1st gear will not shift up. Bounces back and forth between 1st gear and third or 5th while driving. Shutting off vehicle and restarting sometimes solves issue but becoming more frequent, recall for reprogramming speed output sensor was performed with no resolution. Appears to be the lead frame module issue that was recalled in 2011-2012 ford f150 but not recalled or extended warranty on 2013 models. Very very dangerous, cannot drive this vehicle!
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.phpthis 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.
While driving on major highway i lost power to my 2013 f150 6.2l. I had a tractor trailer on my right side and a jerk tailgating me.i finally managed to get the vehicle to the breakdown lane.i really thought i was going to be in a major accident.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, the vehicle loss power steering assist. The contact stated that the service advance track warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to wray ford (2851 benton rd, bossier city, la 71111) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 197,000.
The vehicle down shifts from 4th or 5th gearto 1st gear, while in motion traveling on highway causing engine to rev very high, wheels skid, and unexpected lose of speed.check engine and mechanical light come on. The shift caused a dangerous situation in heavy traffic.
On december 7th 2017, my2013 my 2013 f-150 started having electrical issues resulting in a dead battery that has not been corrected. Error messages that arise include " battery saver on' and "audio off" indicators and after jumpstarting the vehicle will start with the key in the "on" position and in some cases such as mine, the vehicle will not shift out of 5th gear until the ignition is cycled off and then on again. This vehicle has left me stranded requiring me to find someone to jumpstart it. There are an increasing number of complaints on this year model for the exact same issue with no resolution from ford.
Engine cranks but will not start. After research ford knows this is a fuse problem over heating, a 20 amp fuse in 26 slot.this has happen 2 times and goes away but comes back.truck was parked and would not start.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the service engine light illuminated on the instrument panel with the speedometer failing to operate as designed. The contact also stated that the vehicle independently downshifted and had to be restarted to resume normal operation. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be inspected. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
I pre-started my truck this morning 10/19 w/ autostart on fob. The truck was stationary. I loaded both my 1 yr old and my 3 year old into their car seat and went back into house to grab my raincoat. When i returned the exterior near bottom left rear glass was significantly smoking/smoldering. 2 seconds later a small 2-3' flame started in the same area on the weatherstrip. I turned my truck off. I happened to have my phone in hand and video taped the moments following. The flame self-extinguished and shortly after cake a loud bang. In line with the sound of a small caliber handgun. The sound was the back glass exploding. Luckily the tint kept the glass sheet intact. This is the 2nd time this has happened. 1st with no kids in the car on 12/15. Fire was no less than 12' from my sons head, had the power not been secured there would have been a significant chance of running up the combustible weather-strip and potentially igniting the vehicle cabin. I feel i am able to make this claim based on the fact i am employed as a career municipal firefighter. This is unnaceptable for any truck especially one with 44,500 miles. The only way ford will investigate is for me to pay for the cost of diagnostic. Not covered under warranty.
Once the truck is idling, after a few moments a wrench logo is displayed and all the tach gauges turn off and the acceleration is sluggish. Sometimes when driving the truck doesn't leave 1st gear or it'll bounce around gears. When the truck is turned off and then turned back on, everything can go right back to nornal. Having this issue is a major safety issue if the vehicle stalls in traffic or worse. Many reports are made on the internet's and i haven't seen a recall. Funny how the 2011-12 models have an oasis on it but not the 2013 granted it's plagued by the same issue.
I started my truck with remote start to warm up when i got in truck i turned the rear defrost on and my drivers side back glass shattered temperature out was 42degrees truck was in garage my little girl was in car seat in the middle what if glass would have gotten it her eyes just glade it shattered and didn't blow up.
Dash panel shuts off,30 sec later heater on full blast.won't turn off.fcdim bad according to dealership.on back order.dealer admits many similar issues.filed complaint with ford.suggested notifying nhtsa.truck on road less than 4 years,out of warranty,no way should part be defective.$1000 repair.very common issue should be recall.90+summer temp with heater full blast with no controls operating.

Couldn't put windows down due to rain,too hot to breathe.had to pull over to wait out the rain.part on backorder removed fuse in order to drive but heat still comes into vehicle but fan isn't blowing without fuse.
Traveling at various speeds on highway.the orange wrench waring lights came on, speedometer went to zero, mileage indicator went out , gas dte indicator quit working, speed reduced. Switched vehicle off after stopping, switched back on everything reset - vehicle ran fine until the next time, same thing reoccurred. This has happened several times.took it to dewitts automotive repair, windsor, va.dianostic report indicates wiring harness and module sensor for powertrain needs replacing. Must be replaced by ford repair shop.
Takata recall , the rear defrost does not work and it has happened to multiple people where the rear glass explodes. I have disconnected the cable connecting the rear defrost to stop it from heating up but it is a common issue on 2013 ford f-150 trucks.if the cable connecting the rear defrost behind the driver side is disconnected the light for the rear defrost works and the side mirrors work but once connected again nothing works
Hvac is costing a fortune. Continually in dealership to repair but stops running. No heat or air
This has happened more than once driving on the highway 65 mph automatic transmission suddenly shifts into first gear all lights on rear end squelling, completely no control over vehicle, dangerous, dangerous
The rear driver side rear window defrost caused the window to shatter.the only thing holding it together is the anti shatter coating on the window.this is part of the sliding rear window but one of the fixed none moving glass.remote start was used and the temp was 24 deg f.the truck was in the driveway.called ford customer service and was given a case number.
Repeated problems with check engine light, reduced power, and poor gas mileage.the 2013 ford f150 xlt crew cab with 3.5 v6 ecoboost has had repeated problems with the check engine light appearing at engine startup or while driving at city or highway speeds.the cel stays on for several days then disappears. If the check engine light is on the engine goes into limp mode with reduced power and gets extremely poor gas mileage of 11 mpg.the vehicle has been serviced by 2 different ford dealerships 7 times for the same problem.the last service took 13 days 12/20/2013-1/3/2014. A case was opened with ford on 12/14/2013 and assigned to a ford regional rep. Ford refuses to buy back the defective vehicle and asks that the truck be taken back to a ford dealership until the problem is resolved. This is a safety issue in that the driver will think there is an engine problem, brake or reduce speed and potentially cause an accident. The reduced engine power during cel is a safety risk.copies of shop invoices and case number from ford are available upon request.
Rear window was rolled down while 2 1/2 year old child had his arm against the interior door, where it meets the bottom of the window. The skin of the child's forearm was sucked into the vehicle's door. Child was trapped until window was rolled back up. Bruising occurred but the skin was not broken.vehicle was stationary and parked in a lot.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at highway speed,her usb port had initially failed to operate as needed and that soon after, the display screen had drawn completely blank. The contact's daughter had pulled over and restarted the vehicle multiple times but the failure persisted. As she proceeded to drive the vehicle at 40 mph, the vehicle independently downshifted as the vehicle stalled without warning. Due to the failure, the contact hit another vehicle from behind. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. No medical attention was given at the scene; however, his daughter did suffer minor bruising. The whereabouts of the other driver was unknown. A police report was filed.due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where they have yet to inspect or diagnose the failure. The contact stated that his vehicle was previously placed under nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) which he linked to his failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.
The dash lights come on randomly when the truck is sitting with no key in it.the radio stopped working.the heat only works on low and high will not do anything on any other setting.the steering becomes twitchy while driving down the road.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the door locks on the vehicle failed and could not be unlocked.the door was able to unlock the next morning. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The dealer (kirk auto company, 235 sw frontage rd, grenada, ms 38901) was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Fuel pump fuse melted while on highway at approximately 60mph, causing sudden deceleration and loss of power.check engine light came on.i was able to barely get off the freeway to the shoulder.had to be towed to dealership.this is a dangerous design defect and the incident could easily have resulted in a bad accident.
My 2013 ford f150 has had two dead batteries since i purchased in july of 2013 brand new. The first one happened nov of 2014, they put in a new battery and the second in feb 2015 ford dealer can't seem to find anything wrong so they basically just put in a new battery, currently 15k miles. ., but there is a power draw somewhere. This can leave me and my family stranded some where, not safe!
An electrical problem in the epas unit has resulted in the loss of power steering in my 2013 ford f-150.vehicle has 63,000 miles and has no accidents and has not been subject to abnormal driving conditions.the problem presented itself when the weather became cold during the fall of 2019.when outside temperatures dropped below 65 degrees and i started my vehicle i received a "power steering assist failure" warning and the vehicle did not have power steering.testing over a 4 week period as the outside temperature fluctuated between 40-80 degrees allowed me to see the connection to the power steering failure and the outside temperature.additionally, when the outside temperature was close to, but did not exceed 65 degrees.i could start my vehicle and drive it around, the heat from the engine would warm the unit enough to allow it to work.all i needed to do was turn the vehicle off and then back on and the power steering would work.after reading about all the recalls ford has issued related to their epas unit i believe there is systemic problem with the part.additionally, this part cannot be serviced and requires a full replacement.part cost is $1500 plus 2-3 hours of labor.putting the total cost to repair at $1800 - $1900 in my area.
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!
Remote started my 2013 f-150 raptor and it ran in the drive way for 3-4 min.started down the road and turned on the rear defrost.after about 2 min, the rear window popped and shattered behind me.after researching, looks to be a known issue that ford seems to not want to acknowledge.i called them today and the customer service rep acted like he did not know of any past issues.hopefully this will get the attention it needs soon.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle was shifted into third gear and decelerated on its own. The contact stated that the tachometer and speedometer ceased to display and the instrument panel went blank. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 102,000.
Around 100k miles. Truck all of a sudden started to hard shift. Eventually would throw orange wrench light and speedometer would quit working and would have trouble getting the speed up as if it werent shifting. Air bag light will come and stay on. A reboot would take these problems away temporarily. I've read same owners have experienced same issues online on the f150 forum.
The battery will be drained overnight randomly.first time the truck was a year old. Dealer replaced battery. Over a year later, same thing. Replaced battery. I replaced battery four months back and the truck has discharged the battery by the morning. Completely dead battery. Will charge fine and drive fine. No alternator issue. The radio / computer screen will display "battery saver" when the engine is turned off for no reason.
I received notice of recall to schedule repair (software) upgrade. I contacted the dealer several times to only be told to keep calling back to see if they have received the software upgrade from ford. They said there is no problem with continuing to drive the truck until the problem is repaired.
Bought the truck used about 6 months ago and the left rear and passenger right front door lock assembly would not work. Took into the shop and the door latches on both doors had to be replaced. Now the passenger rear door will not unlock or open.
Traveling on the interstate during heavy rains. Traffic in my lane stopped. I tried to change lanes and accelerate briskly. When i tried to accelerate, the vehicle started to shutter and the engine power died. It seemed to go into limp mode. The check engine light flashed several times. The vehicle would not accelerate and left me hanging in the travel lane with faster traffic almost causing a crash. Vehicle is one week old and has approximately 600 miles on it. The engine is the ford ecoboost 3.5l v6. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted to get it to drive normal again.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure immediately recurred. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Upon turning off the ignition the starter kicked on and wouldn't stop. Got truck out of garage. It died in the driveway. Saw smoke and sparks. Opened the hood and saw a small fire under the engine block. Called fd but had it out by the time they arrived.
Truck would not start. Ford dealer found burnt fuse causing fuel pump failure
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failures continued. The vehicle was repaired on two different occasions. The vehicle was taken to five star ford lincoln (located at 711 e wishkah st, aberdeen, wa 98520, (360) 533-3673) where it was diagnosed that a fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 77,000. The consumer stated the fuel pump was replaced for the 4th time.
My 2013 ford f150 will shift into different gears while driving causing the truck to lock up. I was driving 65 mph down the interstate this morning when it shifted into 1st gear causing my tires to lock up and skid all over the road. Luckily i was able to get it off the road before crashing. I have heard this is the output speed sensor which has happened to millions of other f150's. Why has this not been recalled?? this is a major safety hazard! https://www.slashgear.com/ford-faces-1m-recall-expansion-over-worrying-transmission-flaw-02513360/
The truck will not crank at times. Vehicle stationary, it will make no sound, or movement, motor does not turn.
The fuel pump fuse (fuse 27) overheats and burns out resulting in the entire truck shutting off at speeds. This happened to me at 65 mph on a highway leaving me with no engine at that speed.
This is a serious problem and a major safety issue!!! i experienced this twice last weekend on a major highway.i was driving (25mph) and all of a sudden the truck began shuddering and went into limp mode. I couldn't go more than 5 mph and almost caused and accident. The dealer was closed, so i disconnected the battery and after reconnecting it the truck ran fine, until later that night when the same thing happened but at 70mph. Once again the only thing to do was disconnect the battery (to reset everything). The truck was taken into the dealer first thing monday morning just to be told that nothing is wrong with it.
I shut my engine off, dump trash and it would not start. The engine turned over, but not start. Waited a few, minutes, started up. Next day, the engine shut off while driving, got it off the road, waited a few minutes, started up. Before i could get home, the engine died again. Finally restarted it got it home and had it towed to a ford dealership. After waiting 5 days for repair i informed the service manager what i thought the problem was after reading 17 pages of 56, i found 11 instances that mirror my problem. Burnt fuel pump fuse. Had to be relocated at a cost of$249.19. This is very dangerous.
Truck has downshifted from drive into a lower gear.also engine rattles on startup. Mechanic advised the rattle is probably a stretched timing chain. Downshifting occurred on the highway at approximately 55 mph.my son has a 2011 4 wheel drive ford pickup with a v-6 engine. 45,000 miles. The timing was replaced at a cost of $1800. Ford motor company will not fix problems.
Wipers not working right--battery light comes on - engine stalls on road while driving--gauges not working right-had speed set at 55 mph and motor wentdown but start up on it's own---radio stops working alone with the phone too;they but in a new battery on my request and now new things are happening to gauges an tack jumping up and down with the key out??? alarm goes off some times when my phone rings an i am not in the truck!!!
I have file with you about this before and it has been a recall for this problem but the ford company has not taken care of this problem nor have they taken care of a second recall for another problem with this truck both of these problems together have almost cause 3 very near accidents for me the most recent i was pulling a trailer and entering and on ramp to interstate i-94 on entering as normal i tried to exhilarate to highway speed when all of a sudden all power to the drive train stopped and the truck went into a natural mode (like pushing the clutch in on a standard shift transmission) at that point i was in the drive lane right side but 2 semis one passing the other were barrowing down on me i had to cut sharply to the right and off the shoulder of the highway to keep from being hit buy one of the semi's the ford company stated they would have the parts and the soft wear to fix this problem by the 2nd quarter of 2019 it is now the second half and the problem continues to get worse it now clucks when shifting up from 3 to 4 and sometimes down shifting and when taken your foot off the gas pedal for a few seconds then then push on the gas pedal again the trans will clunk again when i test drove this truck before i bought it i told them there was something wrong with the drivetrain and they told me there was nothing wrong with it that i needed to learn how to drive a six speed transmission the thing about that and they don't know me before i retired i was the floor and operations manager for the community garage of battle creek mich. I have had this truck in to them 2 different times and 2 different dealerships plus i.ve taken it in 3 other times but after making and appointment and telling them i would need a loner which the warranty covers then when i get there no loner plus i would have to pay a $100 fee on the warranty for the thing they never fixed (19v-075)
Used remote start on my pickup in below freezing weather at roughly 28.came out to drive to work and rear driver side back window had spider web cracks throughout the glass.
Extreme loss of power when accelerating, and violent engine vibrations during the process, lasting for about one minute and then everything goes back to normal operations. This is extremely unsafe and dangerous given the situation.
Vehicle exhibited a (crank but no start condition.) determined fuel pressure (zero) fuel pump relay power fuse #27 melted in power distribution box ford p/n el3z-14293-a not available locally or from ford parts obtained similar components in el3z-14293-a to effect fix this is a known issue no symptoms prior to (crank but no start)owner very fortunate vehicle was in driveway when issue surfaced.
The rear window defroster keeps going out.this is the 3rd time the unit has failed on a 2013 truck. The unit also controls the heated mirrors. The fix is to remove and replace the rear window with the defrost unit.
Stopped running, died coming off interstate at 75 mph.day before died and wouldn't start just rolled and rolled over.hour later, it started.had it towed off interstate would not start.started once at dealer.dealer stated the fuse 27 is known to melt and after a week in the shop it is fuse 27 which also had to be rewired.it is on websites that fuse 27 does this all the time.. Shutting off on interstate is a horrible experience especially when ford knows of this defect.
Rear power windows with defrost option caused window to shatter when defrost was turned on. Loud, almost gunshot noise can be heard when it happened.internet searches on the subject confirm it is not an isolated incident either.
Dining acceleration the truck would sputter in higher rpm then just recently i would be doing 70 mph down the highway and i would get a service light with power reduction which in turn would require me to pull over shut the truck off restart it and try again. I would get back up to speed and it would repeat. Each time only getting about a mile up the road and it would repeat. Took the truck into the dealer as it was still in warranty the first time and they ignored the p2112 code and replaced a totally different sensor.
I was driving at about 30-35mph and my truck shifted into 1st gear unexpectedly. I have started to notice it doesnā€™t shift quite like it supposed to.
I went to start the vehicle and it would crank b ut not start. I found that a very common problem with this truck is the fuel pump fuse. I located this fuse and found that it was in fact blown, and melted in half. Ford has created a repair for this, because it is such a common problem, but has not issued a recall. This needs to be repaired by ford for the customers at no charge.
I bought my truck new from the dealer 2013.i'm consistent with all the up keeps of my truck.however, mid august 2016, i noticed the truck hesitated to start at the beginning while in stationary position for a few days, then out of nowhere from one day to the next, the engine didn't start in the morning again while in stationary position and then the engine light came up!i bought a new battery thinking that maybe it needed to be replaced, even with the new battery the truck failed to start in stationary.after that,i tried starting my truck for two consecutive days, by the third day the truck started!i drove it immediately to autozone but nothing came up wrong with it?so, i drove it back home.a week later, i had no problems with the truck, like nothing ever happen.then, yesterday all of a sudden i was driving home, while in motion the engine died in the middle of traffic on a city street, so i pulled over to the side of the road and immediately attempted to restart the truck as it continued to hesitate.finally, after 10 minutes the truck started and i drove to autozone and again nothing came up wrong with it.so i drove it back home. Then, today, which is september 2, 2016 while the truck is stationary it failed to start and the engine light, came up again.something is wrong with this truck!i don't feel safe to drive in fear that my truck will stop working while in motion and cause an accident.i can get stranded anywhere at anytime.
Very noticeable popping/bouncing/knocking of steering wheel/column when going over bumps. Occurs at all speeds and all steering angles.
Truck shifts into low gear at higher rates of speed and all gauges shut off, its a 720 code, output speed sensor circuit, ford had a recall that went to march of 2012 and mine was built in october and not covered under the recall, this is a safety issue and you could loose control at anytime when it start to down shift when going 70mph
My 2013 f150s engine started missing out of no where and my check engine light started flickering, and then wouldn't accelerate as i was trying to get on the highway. It almost shut off. Made it to the dealer and they are saying it's the coil packs, i had the same issue but not this bad with my 2008 f 150 which they ended up doing a recall on for the same issue. I think something needs changed as this seems to be an ongoing issue in these trucks and the fix isn't cheap or covered under warranty! and could cause an accident. Also i wasn't having any issues with my truck till i took it to the dealer for the recall they had on the accelerator issue, which was only fixed 3 weeks ago.
While driving the vehicle at normal speeds & operating the air conditioner blower motor on low speed,the driver of the vehicle noticed smoke coming from the below the dash board on the passenger side of the vehicle.as the smoke progressed, the driver soon observed flames and melting plastic dripping off of the hvac box.the driver immediately pulled over, opened the [passenger door and extinguished the flames with a 10 bac fire extinguisher.when the vehicle was brought into the mesa county fleet repair facility, we noticed the heat source originated from theblower motor and resistor area of the hvac box.the electrical wiring has melted insulation and no fuses appear to have burned.
My first incident on my truck was total loss of power steering with no warning, dealer said it was electrical issue. Next was stopped at a light and my rear window shattered, glass company said they have done a ton of these and was due to a short in rear defrost causing the window to shatter? ford dealer stated they didn't know if it would be warranted thatsend in s photo to ford to be determined warranty or not ?
Rear window does not open and rear-defrost no longer works. Potential for the rear window to explode because of the electrical problem.service bulletin no. Asi-32259, ford reports, 'a power sliding rear window, on some vehicles, may experience a possible inoperative rear-window defrost. (models 2010-2013 f-150.)
Driving at 70mph, engine became weak, check engine light came on, transmission went to 5th gear, speedometer went to 0 though tachometer was still showing around 2,000 rpm. Airbag light came on. Truck wouldn't shift up or down. Came to a stop, transmission went to 3rd. Had to shut off truck and restart. This has happened 3 times in 1 month. I just purchased this truck three weeks prior to this occurrence.
Vehicle sputtered and stalled while slowing down on freeway. After towing to dealer, dealer could only find loose battery cable. 2 days later engine stalled again while accelerating on freeway with same symptoms. Vehicle will not start and is with dealer who initially said no issues can be found.vehicle symptoms match description of "limp mode".
I'm calling this a safety issue due to erratic unlocking of driver door. Door when operated by remote to unlock, most times needs 2 actuations, of handle to actually open by user. My wife after shopping felt a presence and tried to enter our vehicle and was badly frightened when she could not enter immediately she pulled on handle without opening door and thought she had not actuated the remote correctly she preformed the action to unlock and had to pull door handle 2 times to enter and lock it to feel safe. He vehicle was stationary and i don't know if this fits the standard for a safety issue. It seemed like it at the time. Dealer wants a diagnostic charge to remedy which i thought was unfair vehicle has 82,000 miles
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 entered the vehicle at about 10 pm on 12/31/17 and started driving home. It was cold so i turned on the windshield defroster and the rear window defroster. About 5 minutes into my trip i noticed a light on the dash go on then off and was not sure which one it was then it flashed again it was the rear window defroster button. The next thing we heard a very loud pop like and saw the rear window shattered. It is a power slider just the section directly behind the driver shattered. I did some research and found out there has been numerous complaints about this very same thing. Next i will be going to a local dealer and making a complaint because from what i can see there has not been any recalls on this matter.what is it going to take to get a recall on this? i believe the ford motor company should absorb the cost for the replacement
Discovered my rear defrost was not working one morning, brought the truck to my local ford dear where i purchased the truck. Was informed that there was a short in the rear window glass and it needed to be replaced.
Rear camera image on mirror turns blue and can't see anything
2013 f150 analog speedometer reads 45mph when stopped.all other gauges work correctly. Digital speedometer in engineer test mode reads accurately.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the rear defogger was activated and the rear window shattered. The vehicle was taken to donley ford lincoln of mount vernon (1455 coshocton ave, mt vernon, oh 43050, (740) 392-2222) where it was diagnosed that there was a shortage in the rear defogger. The rear window needed replacement. The contact mentioned that the defogger was built into the window. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 65,800.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that both the rear driver and passenger doors would not unlock and could not be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. In addition, the door failed to open with the remote access fob. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,400.
My 2013 ford f150 xlt began flashing a warning saying service advancetrac. Then it immediately begins flashing shift to park. The truck then begins to downshift causing a rapid slowing of the truck.. When i get to the side of the road to stop i hear metal on metal grinding noises from the engine compartment that i believe is the transmission trying to shift to park... The truck then loses all blinkers and flashers as well as all lighting on the instrument panel. I was able to drive it to a safe location off the road this time.. The truck randomly continues this and its been in the shop several times and they say nothing is wrong with it. I finally got fed up and began video of the dash display in order to document my safety and problems. This truck is 9 months old and has 14000 miles on it. It has done it again and all electrical systems would not reboot and left me stranded for a long time. We have been driving on i95 at 75mph during holiday traffic and it happened again and we literally thought we would be killed because cars had to slam on brakes to avoid our disabled car. It was even scarier since my 6month old daughter was in the vehicle then.we are at a loss because ford has completely ignored the problem and just assumes i will stop making them fix this at some point. I'm in a 1 car family and bought this to accommodate my new baby and have her a safe ride...this problem is dangerous and it is going to hurt or kill someone if its left unaddressed. [xxx] at jim hudson ford service has told me he knows its something wrong with it but ford will not allow him to fix it under the warranty terms for new trucks.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Only happened once but i tired to use the key fob to unlock the doors. It did not do anything for the truck, none of the buttons would. Unlocked the door with the key had to start it before the alarm went off. Locked it grabbed the spare key came back a few minutes later the same thing happened. Neither key that came with the truck would respond, dealership could verify the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While making a turn at approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal operation shortly after the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.
Vehicle intermittently sputters when accelerating from a stop and also when the vehicle is in motion.i replaced the ignition coil and spark plug in cylinder 3.unfortunately, the intermittent sputter continues to be an issue as well as the check engine light being activated. Accelerating in traffic and from a stop is dangerous and requires additional attention and driving techniques to prevent a potential rear end collision caused by a vehicle approaching my vehicle from the rear.
While driving, the steering seized up making the vehicle nearly impossible to control. Multiple warning lights: "service advanced track, power steering, hill descent assist". Dealer reports that epas system has gone bad/failed. I've read numerous reports on the steering/electric issue. This is a major safety concern and needs to be recalled. This truck is in immaculate shape and has 67,000 miles on it. Steering should not be failing. Please get a recall going on this before someone diesi also had a wheel stud/bolt sheer off two weeks back.
Started truck with remote(fob), yesterday morning. I needed to defrost my windows as well. On my way to work,twenty minutes later, i heard what sounded like a gun blast. I thought someone had shot my truck or threw a rock. I looked in my rearview window and the rear driver side window was shattered. I pulled into a parking lot and no signs of impact by a foreign object. The window was completely shattered. After researching this, i see that this seems to be a defective defroster contributing to spontaneous shattering of rear windows on the f150. I called the dealer and they're giving me "i've never heard of this" i'm not buying it. Also, if this had happened today, my small child would have been sitting right there. This is not okay and ford should repair these for customers.
Truck would turn overbut not start , no fuel was making it to spark as fuse for fuel pump had melted into fuel box and damaged it.this is a faulty setup and needs to be address before someones life is taken or injured badly.
I received my ford recall notice on the need to reprogram power train module on or about april 1st 2019. My firstinstance of my 2013 f150 stx supercab, going into sudden downshift mode and then limp mode (blue wrench signal) occurred around april 12, 2019.i was driving at about 30 miles an hour on a city street when my truck when the truck downshifted by itself and the blue wrench light appeared.my truck went into limp mode and i was unable to drive. After pulling over to the side of the street,i turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and then the issue resolved itself.i took my vehicle into the ford dealership on april 18, 2019 where recall 19s07 6r80 (reprogram power train module) work was completed.on may 17, 2019, while driving about 30 miles an hour on a city street (without notice or cause) my truck again went into downshift mode, limp mode and the blue wrench light came on.same as the first instance, i pulled over to the side of the street, turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and when i turned on the truck again the issue was resolved.it was clear that this issue was electrical and no mechanical and the original recall work completed by the dealership did not resolve the issue.on 05/19/2019,i again took my truck to the ford dealership where this time the module lead frame was replaced after code p0722 was identified. I want the record to reflect that the first recall, reprogramming of the power train module did not work, and left me at risk of a second downshifting incident occurring.my truck had a second incident and after returning to the dealership a second time the leadframe was replaced. I also want to note that the dealership's data that the original recall work was completed on 04/26/2019 is inaccurate.the original recall work was performed by the dealership on 04/18/2019.
Air bag light will not go off since i changed the seats outalso back up camera is a blue screen
Steering column telescopic in/out and up and down blows fuses all the time others on forums are having same problem when looked up for info.fuse is either 23 or 24 on passenger side. Ford never listed this in owners diagrams. This is a very big problem that many people are complaining about in many year models.
Fuel pump fuse is prone to failure due to design flaw. Ford is aware and a service bulletin has been issued. Also a 'fuse 27 relocation kit' available. This failure causes the fuel system to fail without warning and causes the vehicle to stop operating. A recall should be done or offer of free repair should be available.
I had the wrench light come on while i was driving and didn't have much of a problem at first. Then a day later when i was going to work, i turned the truck on and pushed the gas and the light came on and i could not accelerated at all. My rpm's would not climb. I had to let my truck start to go on its own then my gas peddle would finally catch and my truck would go. Later that day i was driving home from work, going about 40mph, and my vehicle went into limp mode. I had to pull over and restart my truck. It did like 3 times on the way home. What i don't understand is how as soon as i start my truck, with it still in park, and hit the gas the light illuminates and the trucks rpms don't work. This is one of many problems i have had with this truck. The a/c is a whole other topic.
I was driving and made a right turn and the power steering gave out for a few seconds. Then once i straightened back out i could not reproduce the problem. This has happened several times but can happen when turning either way.
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.
2013 ford f150 raptor. Been reading about several 2011 to 2016 about the rear back glass defrost not working due to bacd contacts on the window or even shaders for no reason. I think ford should replace this if it fails. With the back defrost not working also makes the side heated mirrors not work due to then being on the same circuit.
Vehicle hesitation with jerking and loss of momentum when lightly accelerating at speeds between 60 mph and 70 mph when hot. Dealer determined this was caused by the spark plugs and boots and changed them out at 48k miles. Dealer maintenance book lists changing out the spark plugs and boots at 100k miles which a gross underestimated maintenance schedule. This is miss leading to the buyer for expected repair costs and dangerous for the owner while on the road and dangerous to other motorist because of the unexpected loss of momentum and jerking of the vehicle.
Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program.vehicle i feel is not safe.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, blinkers no longer work. When the first issues arose,problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic. At first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 99,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road. The truck is now not driveable!!!
Model year 2009-2014 f150's have an issue with fuse 27 under the hood getting hot and melting. Fuse 27 is for the fuel pump relay. This causes complete loss of power while driving or a no start situation. Ford has issued a tsb for this issue, but in my mind it should be a recall. If the fuel pump stops, you lose all power no matter where you are, even if in heavy traffic on the interstate. This could also be a fire hazard if the wiring gets hot enough
Rear window electric defrost was activated by factory remote start system. Apparent defroster overheat or short circuit caused the left panel of the three panel sliding window to explode, resulting in a loud band and spider webbed panel resulting in glass shards in my child's booster seat. Ford does not acknowledge the problem and provided no assistance at the local dealer or ford customer service. Truck was stationary at time of event.
My rear sliding window defrost stopped working and the indicator light did not come on. I drove the truck on a county road (55 mph) about 5 miles( 10 minutes) and i looked in the rearview mirror and saw smoke coming out from behind the passenger side headrest against the glass. A few seconds later i heard a loud pop and the right side rear window pane shattered. I was able to safely pull to the side of the road and i pulled the relay fuse for the window defrost. The glass stayed intact except for a few shards of glass that i found on the seat.
Approximately two months ago i purchased a used 2013 ford f-150 from a local dealership in warren, michigan.recently i received a notice in the mail detailing a recall regarding vehicles equipped with a 6r80 transmission ' sudden downshift (safety recall 19s07). After receiving my powertrain control module software update approximately two weeks ago from szott ford in holly, michigan, i expected my transmission to run smoothly.six days ago, while pulling through a busy intersection, my vehicle would not leave first gear. Somehow, i avoided being hit from crossing traffic. Shortly after avoiding an accident, the vehicle then switched abruptly from first gear to fifth gear (going around 10 mph).after pulling into a parking lot i turned the car off. When i restarted the car, it started in fifth gear. The car would not go into manual and would not leave fifth gear. At no point during this time did an engine light come on.after switching the car into four-wheel drive everything seemed to be working smoothly again. I immediately took my car into the dealership once again. The dealership has informed me that everything is working properly and since no engine light came on there are no problems to diagnose or fix. Safety recall 19s07 did not fix this vehicles issues. Last night the same thing happened again. It would not leave 1st gear. I put the car in park and the car would sit in second gear then jump to 5th gear. Very dangerous pulling out in front of anything because the car basically stalls in oncoming traffic. Safety recall 19s07 did not work.
I was driving down a very dangerous highway pass going approximately 65 mph when my engine stalled as random alarms started appearing on my dashboard, then my steering locked from the engine being off. I tried the best i could to get on the shoulder as i had no steering ability and i stepped on the brakes fairly hard. I was lucky because this was the only place in miles with a shoulder. Anywhere else on this road and i could have been seriously injured or died. While on the side of the road i smelled a tiny bit of burning plastic with no problem in sight. I googled what happened on a special forum website for ford raptor owners and others had the same thing happen with fuse 27. Which is for the fuel pump. So i checked the number 27 fuse and sure enough it had melted, i actually had to take it out of the fuse box in melted pieces with pliers. The fuse melted while driving so the fuel pump shut off causing my engine to stall and steering to lock. Many many others have had his happen and ford recognizes it as a service bulletin. However this needs to be more then a service bulletin when someone's life could be taken driving the freeway or dangerous road. We were lucky there was no collision, injuries, or fire, however it could have very well caused an electrical fire and if someone was on a crowded freeway in rush hour a collision is almost certain.
Truck stalled momentarily while negotiating an intersection. I pulled into a parking lot to check for issues. Wheni tried to re-start the truck it would turn over but wouldn't start. I checked the owners manual for the procedure to re-set the fuel shut off switch because i thought it may have been activated by something. Truck still would not start after following procedure. I had the truck towed to hunt ford in franklin ky. A service technician called me the next day to inform me that the fuel pump relay had melted and that ford had issued a technical bulletin about the issue and a fix for it which included installing an inline fuse to keep the relay from melting again. The repair cost $210 and the service tech told me that my truck was second one that they had fixed with this same issue that day! while it wasn't a safety issue for me, it definitely has the potential to be one.

While driving on the interstate at approximately 55 miles an hour on straight road at steady speed without warning the truck began to lurch jump and lose power, regain power and losepower.i noticed that the speedometer was very erratic and i had a light flashing on the dash as well. This pattern repeated until i eventually had to pull off the side of the road and restart the truck. It drove correctly the rest of the way home after that.
Driving at any speed, the "ford wrench" appears in the gauge cluster, the speedometer goes to zero, transmission gear light does not respond to speed changes (slowing down or speeding up), airbag light comes on, all other indications blank out; i.e. Fuel mileage, miles to go before empty, etc.does not throw engine codes to find with normal obd reader.changed out throttle body but did not fix issue. Detailed sources saying its a transmission problem with the pcm or transmission lead frame and that ford knows about it but will not put out a safety recall to get it replaced.safety put at risk due to already recalled problem of sudden downshift to 1st gear.ford recalled with a reprogramming of the pcm to fix this issue but unsure if it actually fixed due to the above happening.obviously, this is bad.paraphrasing, ford dealer says if they cant observe it, it doesn't exist.no warning lamps appeared before everything happened, in first paragraph above, all at once.

Advance track service warning keeps popping up, turn signal will not work unless you turn car off and back on. This is a recurring problem as many fords have the same issue. They should all be fixed as ford is very aware of the problem i'm sure. This happens at random times, at start up or while driving. Not sure how long its been going on, i just bought the car and it was doing it.
Takata recall , the rear defrost does not work and it has happened to multiple people where the rear glass explodes. I have disconnected the cable connecting the rear defrost to stop it from heating up but it is a common issue on 2013 ford f-150 trucks.if the cable connecting the rear defrost behind the driver side is disconnected the light for the rear defrost works and the side mirrors work but once connected again nothing works
I took my truck into red mccombs ford in san antonio, tx because i had issues with my transmission. I can be driving and it would rev up to 4k rpm without my foot on the acceleration. There are times when i'm driving and it drops into 1st and jars me when it bogs down. Took it in and we paid almost $1000 for repairs to fix it since i feared for my safety. It felt like i had no control of my vehicle. That was in sept 2018..here we are march 2019 having the same issues. I tried taking it in, but they did not have the offer of a loaner vehicle while they fixed again, so i have had no choice but to drive my truck still. I love my truck...but this is scary driving like this. I don't have a choice because i have to get to work daily. I need a reliable vehicle per i had major surgery last sept and have had 2 emergency room trips since and cannot afford to get in a wreck or have my truck go out with my health issues. I'm afraid all the jerking is going to cause me issues with my back and safety of my family. I have had to pull over and restart truck to get it to quit revving up, and not rear ending someone.
Experienced common epas failure multiple times.have experienced at high speeds, losing control of all steering.this issue has been well documented all over the internet, and is actually a recall in some ford vehicles, including the 2014.but they have not issued a recall for the 2013.this is a major concern and safety issue.i've received this issue when vehicle gets wet from rain or car wash.and i've also experienced it when hitting a bump at both low speeds and high speeds.such as a bridge deck seam on the freeway, pothole, rumble strips, gravel road washboard etc.when hitting these bumps, or when caused due to moisture, "service advance trac" message comes on dash, and all power steering is lost until vehicle is turned off and started again.not only is this an extremely expensive fix, it is extremely dangerous, and could put a driver in a life and death situation.this needs to be recalled by ford on all vehicles they manufactured with this epas system in it.
Ford f-150 prower steering assist failed resulting in a near death experience.making a left inalameda 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.
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.
Loss of power steering while driving. In a parking lot, i was very fortunate i was not going down the road or in the middle of traffic. The truck is very hard to turn, and cannot be driven at this time until repaired.
When i was backing my f150 out of my driveway i heard a loud squealing sound when i turned my steering wheel. This caused a stable trac light, a hill decent light, and a power steering light. I clicked on the ok button to clear all three faults on the dash because the truck seamed to working properly. As i drove to work a vehicle in front of me slammed on their breaks and when i went to react the power steering did not work. This is a very dangerous issue that could cause serious injury and or death to me and my kids. The power steering did come back and worked for a few days then it happened again when a car turned in front of me and when i swerved to miss a head on collision with my children in the truck the power steering failed yet again. I now have all three faults every time i start the truck and the power steering is completely out now. This condition is extremely dangerous if a younger person or someone that doesn't know what to do or have the physical strength to manually turn the vehicle when the power steering goes out without warning.
1/26/17:it was 45 degrees this morning so i used the remote start (factory supplied on key remote) to get my truck running before leaving for work. As i walked outside (did not touch the truck), i heard a loud gunshot. Thinking something had fallen on the truck i looked up and it was not parked under anything. I walked around the truck to find that the drivers side panel of the back window was spidered. Again, i was not driving or parked under or around something that could have impacted my truck/window.
I have a f150 4-wheel eco boost v6. I recently had my vehicle in for an oil change and at that time decided to have the recall done for the software update. The next few days i noticed that there was some hesitation with the gears shifting and the transmission at times would drop. I contacted the dealership to bring my truck back in at that time they could not find anything wrong but an oil pressure sensor. Some days later i was driving on the feeder road getting ready to enter the highway. As soon as i entered my speedometer stop working and the transmission dropped into 1st gear. There was a car behind me that almost collided with my truck. My family was in the car at the time and this could have been a serious accident. The next day i brought my truck back into the dealership and they did a quick diagnosis. They stated that i had transmission issues and that i needed to look into getting another vehicle through them and trading my truck out. I was upset by the response so i took my vehicle to a local transmission shop where they thoroughly inspected the truck. The findings were that the oss sensor was faulty and it pull up a p0270 code. The shop advised me that this was a warranty and safety issue and that i immediately take it back to the dealership to have it repaired. When i return to the dealership they at that time acknowledge thatit was a warranty issue and could be fix, but they could not even look at it for 2-weeks and would not even provide a loaner after stating my safety concerns. I then contact ford motor company and they could not assist until the dealership looked at my truck. I did state to them the time issue at the dealership but was told they have no control over what they do. I'm stuck with driving a unsafe vehicle for an issue outside of my control and no one at ford is taking the matter seriously. This could cause a fatal or severe injury.
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.

Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old.

I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane.suddenly the wrench warning light and check engine light came on, and the car experienced what appeared to be a total loss of engine power.i placed the hazard lights on and was able to navigate to the shoulder, with 18 wheelers and other cars trying to react to my sudden loss of power and speed.after turning the car off, and restarting it, it appears ok to proceed.this same incident has happened now 8 times in the last few days.i took the car into ford and they are claiming it's an issue with the throttle body.i mentioned that i see a throttle body recall for 2015-2016 f-150's, but ford is denying the issue, indicating there is no recall for my 2013.i find many complaints identical to mine for f-150's earlier than 2015.they also claim ford denies the issue and refuses to fix the problem.most also reference concern for a significant safety issue, feeling that ford will only fix this once people die.i took my f-150 to the local ford dealer today and they verified it was the throttle body, and are charging me $650 to fix it.i have read from others that the component used to fix the problem is the original faulty component, so there is no reason to feel that the problem will not happen again eventually.i have experienced four times on the freeway at 65mph, and several times on city streets at 30mph.i was driving straight, not braking.
Vehicle stalls randomly while driving,no matter if it's on the highway or city streets. This is dangerous. It has been to the dealer 4 times.it's there now and they are unable to figure it out.ford is aware of this problem and recalled the 2011 and 2012 and some 2013s.but not mine. This vehicle needs to be recalled.it's an accident waiting to happen.it left me stranded it rural colorado in a snow storm in 7 degree weather with my daughter.i did restart but that would have been really bad had it not.
I have had the ford truck death wobble, i barely missed a head on collision because of it. This has now happened several times, it starts unexpectedly when going 55 to 60 mph and hit a slight pump or unevenness on the road the front end of the truck goes into to a severe vibration and wobble that rapidly gets worse and make the truck uncontrollable and vary dangerous. The only way to stop the death wobble is to immediately slam on the breaks and come to a complete rapid stop. I cant believe this hasn't already been taken care of by ford giving how many of us out here are experiencing this issue. When this truck goes into to this violent wobble it is vary difficult to control, i am a 240lb male and almost collided head on with an oncoming car, if my wife was driving this truck when this happened her and the people in the oncoming car would have most likely died!
Vehicle always in motion, appears to lose power, wrench light comes on, odometer has dash lines, speedometer falls to 0, and other mpg digital sensors, distance to empty sensor and air bag failure all happen simultaneously. Occasionallythe truck seems to have power loss at lower speeds. Tachometer continues to work. A few times shutting ignition off and turning on again all goes back to normal. Recently had recall software upgrade completed but the problem occurred just 4 days later as i was turning onto freeway. Before the recall work was done i took vehicle to local shop i trust, there were multiple codes found. I had the service tech i had clear the codes. All incidents have occurred at speeds less than 30. All seem to be associated with loss of power and noise from transmission.
My "serive advance traction control" warning light comes on and prohibits my turn signals from working properly. I have taken to many shops none has figured out how to fix bout problem has been going on since august 2017
Failing electronic steering gear in the electronic powered assist steeringsee http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2013/ford/f-150/11230111.aspx
Keep getting service advance track warning which disables turn signal, truck must be turned off and back on bur warning keeps coming back disabling turn signal. Through research this is very common and dangerous.
When turning into a curve aspeed 20 mph and above the traction control light comes on and the van pulls hard to the left.have taken it to the ford dealer several times and was told that it is not putting any error codes into the computer and that they have no idea what is causing it.van is very dangerous to drive.
The down hill decent light and traction control sensor are intermittent which affects the blinkers, the power locks on the doors and sometimes the traction control.
Truck's output speed sensor and harness failed while moving through an intersection and downshifted the vehicle into low gear almost causing an accident.ford has a current recall on the software but not the sensor.prior year vehicles also had the same recall and ford replaced the sensor as customer satisfaction.see link: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/04/27/ford-motor-company-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-two-safety-co.html

This has happened more than once driving on the highway 65 mph automatic transmission suddenly shifts into first gear all lights on rear end squelling, completely no control over vehicle, dangerous, dangerous
Going 70 mph on the high way my truck is down shifting to a lower gear then looses power the rpm and the speedometer starts going hay wire jumping back and forth. Doing 40 mph it does the same thing and doesn't want to pick up speed.took it to a ford dealership and they reprogrammed the brain now the mph don't work no fuel notice it's blank.
While driving engine continues running but suddenly discontinues movement of vehicle. After couple minutes with engine off vehicle will resume normal operation. Has happened twice, once on neighborhood street when turning corner andsecond time on freeway traveling about 60mph.
I went to pass a slow moving vehicle and only had a short distance to pass.i pressed down hard on the accelerator, the engine shutdown, truck was coasting, and the orange traction slip light came on. Then the engine came back on and i was able to finish passing.this was in carlsbad, nm.i took it to the local ford dealer they said there nothing showed on their diagnostic computer,but they did try to charge me $150 labor.i refused to pay, because this is a new truck and the incident happened twice driving into carlsbad.i have tried to duplicate the incident once since,but the engine did not shutdown.
I bought my truck new from the dealer 2013.i'm consistent with all the up keeps of my truck.however, mid august 2016, i noticed the truck hesitated to start at the beginning while in stationary position for a few days, then out of nowhere from one day to the next, the engine didn't start in the morning again while in stationary position and then the engine light came up!i bought a new battery thinking that maybe it needed to be replaced, even with the new battery the truck failed to start in stationary.after that,i tried starting my truck for two consecutive days, by the third day the truck started!i drove it immediately to autozone but nothing came up wrong with it?so, i drove it back home.a week later, i had no problems with the truck, like nothing ever happen.then, yesterday all of a sudden i was driving home, while in motion the engine died in the middle of traffic on a city street, so i pulled over to the side of the road and immediately attempted to restart the truck as it continued to hesitate.finally, after 10 minutes the truck started and i drove to autozone and again nothing came up wrong with it.so i drove it back home. Then, today, which is september 2, 2016 while the truck is stationary it failed to start and the engine light, came up again.something is wrong with this truck!i don't feel safe to drive in fear that my truck will stop working while in motion and cause an accident.i can get stranded anywhere at anytime.
The v6 ecoboost engine is trash.had to have it replaced with another crappy v6 ecoboost engine that is no better than the original.the original engine through a rod on the highway.the second one is getting coolant in the oil

Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
I was driving to pick my son up from school going about 25 mph i turned right accelerated and the truck completely lost powered it did not stall just lost all power and the gas pedal had no response i was able to idle to my son's school. Thank goodness no one was on the road behind me because when i lost power the truck just stop abruptly in the middle of the road. Can't imagine how that would have played out if i had been going 70 down the highway. Ford is saying it's the throttle body i don't think that's correct :(
Upon leaving my driveway which is on a hill i went to apply my brakes and had no response, caused me to go off the curb. My brake pedal was hard to operate i went on line and did some research found out about recall.
While on i95 in virginia, after traveling for about an hour with the cruise control on in an intermittent rain, i attempted to accelerate to pass another vehicle. I depressed the accelerator and the truck started to shake and buck. The check engine light started flashing and i was not able to accelerate. Any attempt to do so caused the truck to jerk and shake. As i moved to the right lane to get to the shoulder, the light stopped flashing and the truck behaved normally. I could not replicate the incident since i did not drive at a constant speed again for any period of time remaining in the trip. This occurred in a 2013 ford f150 xlt supercrew with a 3.5l eco boost engine.
While driving, including but not always while driving on the interstate during heavy fast traffic, and including but not always while pulling a trailer, the orange wrench light comes on, the truck abruptly enters "limp" mode requiring rapid pulling off the highway in order to stop and restart the engine, and then a dangerous pulling back on the highway from the breakdown lane in heavy traffic. This has been diagnosed as needing a throttle body replacement #bl3z-9e926-b, but i am told by a ford dealer that there are about 3300 others waiting for this part and that they are so backlogged that no delivery date is yet in their system. Rapid, unexpected, and repeated loss of power while driving is very dangerous.
I purchased my 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost in december 2012. The first incident occurred in approximately march 2013. It was raining. I was accelerating from a stop light where i had made a complete stop. I could not gain speed very well. The engine light was flashing. The engine was sputtering/popping and the whole truck was shaking violently. The same has occurred ever since on more than a dozen occasions and at various speeds. However, each time was while it was raining. Never has had a problem in fair weather. I experience a total loss of power, many times when on the interstate or while trying to overcome a vehicle. The front-end lurches, i lose speed dramatically, the engine shakes violently when i accelerate. The engine sputters and sounds like it doesn't know whether to choke out or blow up. The engine light flashes for approximately 1 minute each time. Almost sounds like a misfire. Happens several times during one trip often, but always when it rains. Continuous occurrences and beginning to become more frequent. Have taken my truck to 2 dealerships, neither of which can detect any dtcs or any other problem. Offer no advice other than to keep driving it until the engine light stays on permanently. They have no idea what causes the problem. I am really afraid that the problem may result in a motor vehicle accident. Have not had one yet, but have a had a couple of incidents where i had to pull over to avoid an accident. Problem is so persistent that i am considering trading vehicles, especially since i have been offered no remedy for the problem. I have also filed a complaint with ford motor co. On 07/30/2013.
Stopped running, died coming off interstate at 75 mph.day before died and wouldn't start just rolled and rolled over.hour later, it started.had it towed off interstate would not start.started once at dealer.dealer stated the fuse 27 is known to melt and after a week in the shop it is fuse 27 which also had to be rewired.it is on websites that fuse 27 does this all the time.. Shutting off on interstate is a horrible experience especially when ford knows of this defect.
Ford v6 eco-boost engine turbo temp and pressure sensor failed which can result in the turbo overheating and possible engine fire.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while parked, he noticed flames coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The fire department was called to the scene and a fire report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The cause of the fire was undetermined. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.
Driving on a city street the truck started shaking and loss all acceleration, it showed a wrench on the dash screen, coasted to a safe place and turned truck off. It restarted fine. Approx 30 mins later on the highway it did the same thing, started shaking, no acceleration and the wrench showed up. Again coasted to a safe spot and restarted. Took it to the dealer the next day and they say nothing is wrong, but that it could be the etb but with out a code showing they cant do anything.
While traveling in rain on the highway - outside temp 40 deg f / dewpoint 40 (this is relevant - this issue occurs whenever temp & dew point are within 10 of each other for many others) at 65mph - i attempted to pass a slower moving vehicle. After my lane change, i attempted to accelerate & the vehicle downshifted & revved high for a second and then ilost 90% of my engines power, the vehicle began to shudder & shake and a check engine light (cel) began to blink on my dash. I was nearly hit be 2 fast moving semi trucks as i tried to cross 3 lanes of traffic to get to the berm with 0 ability to accelerate any further. Stopping & starting the engine made the issue go away. A similar even occurred this morning as well but cleared itself after i let off of the gas. I have heard numerous reports of this issue on different f-150 forums. The issue is apparently too much condensation in the ecoboost engines twin turbo intercooler (hence the temp/dew point correlation). Ford has been attempting to resolve this for 3 years now - and just released a new tsb 12-10-19 which i hope will resolve it. I have had the vehicle for 14 days - and it should not have been sold to me with this known dangerous failure possibility being present. The tsb is being applied to my vehicle tomorrow & i hope it works. Numerous others have had different attempts at repair & none have made the issue permanently go away. This is a major safety concern.
Pulling out to merge into traffic engine shut down, engine light comes on . No power , engine missing very bad. Pull over to shoulder kill engine wait and restarted. Ford said no computer code came up but reset computer for turbo. 2nd ford f-150 with 3.5 ecoboost that has done this.
Dining acceleration the truck would sputter in higher rpm then just recently i would be doing 70 mph down the highway and i would get a service light with power reduction which in turn would require me to pull over shut the truck off restart it and try again. I would get back up to speed and it would repeat. Each time only getting about a mile up the road and it would repeat. Took the truck into the dealer as it was still in warranty the first time and they ignored the p2112 code and replaced a totally different sensor.
While driving a wrench and check engine light comes on, the car decelerates and will not respond to accelerator. Come to stop with engine shuddering. Checked engine code as p2112. Operating on flat surface street at 45 mph
Upon accelerating to pass or merge onto a highway the engine will lose power and the check engine light will flash.this loss of power makes it dangerous to safely pass or merge onto a highway. I was researching on the internet and there are many instances of this happening to ecoboost owners. This problem has been dubbed the "ecoboost shudder " i have called 4 dealerships asking if there is a service bulletin for this problem or repairs. It seems that ford service departments are completely unaware of this problem however it is well known to ecoboost owners.
Timing chain / timing chain tensioner defect in 2012-2014 ecoboost engine.vehicle's timing chain loses tension and needs to be replaced at low mileage.very costly repair, with estimated 13 hours labor.design defect is being reported by more and more owners of vehicles with ecoboost engines released between 2012-2014.ford motor corrected design defect in later models, but did not notify current owners or provide path to resolution if after 5 year/60k warranty.
N june 20, 2016 my wife and i were driving at 65 mph on u.s. 60 in mo when the engine on my 2013 f150vin ecoboost just quit.it was a dangerous situation in traffic.we were able to get the vehicle to the side of the road.it was towed to wehr ford in mountain grove, mo where it was diagnosedas a defective throttle body.the service manager said there had been a rash of defective throttle bodies and at least 2000 were on back order across the country.he pointed out another vehicle on his lot which had been there for two weeks waiting for one.he said he could get a used one from a wrecking yard.since we live in az and had to get home we said ok.this is a dangerous issue and ford should have a recall on these.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started to shake violently and decelerated as the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnosed the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 47,000.
Timing chain went bad i here it has been happening to lot f150 2013
Vehicle experiences hard downshift from higher to lower gears while driving at highway speeds on interstate highway, causing rear wheels to skid and vehicle to jerk. Vehicle looses power with rpm indicator on dash showing engine revving at or above 1,500 to 2,500 rpms while driving on local roads and streets.when starting from a stopped position the engine rpms will climb to 1,500 to 2,000 and the vehicle will no move. The wrench indicator has come on 3 times but goes off if vehicle is shut off and restarted.additionally, the vehicle electronic control system does not store any codes to indicate the vehicle has experienced any problems.have taken vehicle to local ford dealer on 4 occasions only to be informed that no codes were present and vehicle did not act up while in their possession.also informed by dealer that unless code is displayed during diagnostic test ford motor will not pay for repairs unless code is displayed.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph in rainy weather, he attempted to pass another vehicle when the engine stalled with the illumination of the check engine warning indicator. The engine resumed normally within ten seconds. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where a diagnostic was performed. The technician stated that the failure was related to the eco boost engine, however there was not a remedy available for the repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power and the gauges did not function. The failure occurred without warning. The failure was corrected after a manual restart. The failure occurred on three separate occasions.

The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
Car switches into neutral while driving
Ecoboost v6 3.5l.driving about 3 hours 70-75 mph with last hour in rain.had to pass cars on two occasions after the rain.both times upon acceleration, car shuddered violently, lost speed and engine light was flashing.both times had to pull over and turn off car, then restart to get engine to work.first time engine light turned off.second time engine light stayed on solid until i got it to dealership.they replaced the intercooler and cac shield.has not occurred since with 6 months driving including several tests of acceleration.however, i have not tried it in the rain, and i'm seeing reports of moisture accumulation as the issue.
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 fineand 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.
After driving in rain for a couple hours in my ecoboost f150, i was merging onto an interstate where traffic required heavy acceleration and the vehicle stalled from 60-65 abruptly to 45 mph.the vehicle shuttered and would not accelerate back to highway speeds for nearly a minute.the engine ran extremely rough and was unresponsive to throttle input from driver.i had my family with me and was very upset that we could have been in a very bad accident.the dealership did not inform me of problems with the ecoboost at the time of sale, even though this problem has been going on since the ecoboost introduction.this is a serious safety issue and i find the nhtsa has failed to recall these trucks.the dealership where purchased is marler ford, near alexandria, la. You are not to use my personal information in anyway except to handle this complaint.which includes but not limited to selling or otherwise providing this information to outside agencies.
Since purchased new the engine will intermittently completely shut down especially during damp weather. It has spent weeks at different dealerships yet the problem persists. The engine will sputter and kill taking with it the power steering, brakes, and lights. It is still an issue today. The other problem that is really concerning is the automatic transmission will suddenly shift itself into first gear at highway speeds and send rpms racing for no reason. I was told by my dealership v&h in marshfield that they 'reprogrammed' the transmission but that still happens from time to time. All of these things happened mainly at highway speeds with the engine being most common during wet weather. It happens rather frequently with the last episode being on 8/12/19
Driving on interstate 422 i went to pass a tractor trailer my ford f150 with 3.5 ecoboost lost all engine power and would only idlei had to avoid traffic to get back in slow lane and to the side of the road.my dash display had a big yellow wrench i turned off the truck and restated engine with no problems after restart
I excelerated from a stop, suddenly my check engine light started to flash and i started to lose power and acceleration. My vehicle then began to shudder, i let off the accelerator pedal and moved to the side of the road. After about a minute the engine light turned itself off and the full power came back to the truck.
Ford f-150 ecoboost loss of power. - trying to pass a semi on the highway when the vehicle stumbled after a downshift, lost power, check engine light flashed, and the vehicle started to shudder. Tried to pull off of side of road but once i was able to get over to the median, the light stopped flashing and the shudder went away as did the light. It was in the mid 60s, i had traveled about 120 miles on the highway at about 70 mph in ohio on i-75 south of toledo. It had been raining off and on all day.
I was traveling at exactly 70 mph on the interstate at about 40 degrees in my brand new 2013 f-150 ecoboost. While attempting to pass a line of slower semi-trucks, i put the accelerator pedal to the floor. The engine rev'd and the started violently shuttering to the point i thought the engine mounts were surely breaking. The vehicle lost most of its power and with another trucker behind me in the passing lane, it immediately became an extremely dangerous situation. I could not accelerate at all and fortunately was able to let the lower traffic pass me so i could fall into the slow lane -- it was very dangerous to put it mildly.the truck fixed itself after about 5 miles of slower driving. I took it to the ford dealership the next morning and they kept it for several days and couldn't find any problems.i tried to duplicate the event and couldn't.the scene repeated itself three times under exactly the same circumstances with two or three weeks separating the occurrences. The last time the dealership service department said ford corporate engineering did not know what the problem was and to try re-installing the computer software. This appears to have fixed the problem but my gas mileage has gone down to an average 18.5 mpg and previously i was getting up to 25 mpg average.
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.
The contact owned a 2013 ford f-150. While driving between 30-60 mph, the vehicle decelerated and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that a new output speed module needed to be installed. The vehicle was also taken to jenkintown ford (1650 the fairway, jenkintown, pa 19046, (888) 503-1980), but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 69,100.
While driving on the interstate with cruise control set approximately at 70mph, i stepped on the gas to accelerate past a vehicle. The truck did not respond but decelerated and the steering wheel began to shake. The check engine light flashed. I continued to drive and with only slight pressure to the gas to maintain speed. After approximately 5-10 seconds the vehicle regained power. The incident happened a second time, same conditions same results. The ford dealer says its a known problem with parts back ordered. This seems unacceptable if its a know problem. Someone can get in a serious accident at highway speeds if they pulled out in fast moving traffic expecting acceleration to be there.
Vehicle hesitation with jerking and loss of momentum when lightly accelerating at speeds between 60 mph and 70 mph when hot. Dealer determined this was caused by the spark plugs and boots and changed them out at 48k miles. Dealer maintenance book lists changing out the spark plugs and boots at 100k miles which a gross underestimated maintenance schedule. This is miss leading to the buyer for expected repair costs and dangerous for the owner while on the road and dangerous to other motorist because of the unexpected loss of momentum and jerking of the vehicle.
Timing chain stretched causing vehicle to fail while accelerating during highway enterance
I just read a story and the one on fox news.this exact ecoboost problem happened to me about 1 month ago in my 2013 f-150 king ranch (28k miles).i was driving north on i81 in pa and suddenly my truck went like a bucking bronco, losing power as i went along until i was down to about 30mph on a highway.this lasted for about 10-15 minutes and then miraculously cleared up.i fear the damage it has done to the engine and could be very dangerous if this happens again in heavy traffic on a highway.this has happened one other time as well.all i could assume at the time was a bad tank of gas or some sort of misfire/cylinder problem.who do i report this to?i am sure ford will just say oh well, it works now..[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
T-connectorfrom radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford said its on national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. Mechanic verified cracked t- connector. Due to the number of cracked t-connectors and a national backorder, i feel there is a material deficiency in the t-connector and should be recalled for replacement. The vehicle was stationarywhen i noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. So far its cost me 219.99 and 507.32 to try and fix this. And it still leaks.
At approximately 60,000 miles my truck would occasionally make a rattling sound immediately after starting the engine. Over time it got worse, i took it to a mechanic and he told me it was probably a lose cover, or a component such as a water pump was failing and it would be hard to know which one it was until it failed completely. So i continued to drive the vehicle. Time passed, milage went up and the problem got worse. I started researching the issue myself and realized it was the timing chain and phazers. This could potentially cause engine failure and if it happens at the wrong time could cause an accident. This is a very common problem with the ecoboost truck from 2011-2016 models and it typically happens very early in the vehicles life(around 50k miles). Apparently it is due to the excessively long timing chain and weak phazers.
The timing chain stretched causing my engine to miss time. I was told by the service department of a ford dealer that if this was avoided long enough it could have blown my engine. Also while discussing this issue with the service mechanic he informed me he sees this issue frequently. This tells me that this is a common problem that is bringing grossly ignored by ford.
In the span of one week the vehicle lost power and went into "limp mode", on three (3) separate occasions. The console display goes orange, with a wrench. Two ofthe instances occurred at steady speed greater than 50 mph. One event was while accelerating from a stop through a right turn.the vehicle was brought to dealer for service. No obd codes were stored and the events cannot be replicated after a week of testing.this is a serious safety hazard! the vehicle must be stopped in order to shut it down and restart, where the display clears and it runs normally until without warning, it occurs again. Ford does not seem to have an answer. Panic could easily ensue form this loss of power and the drivers ability to take evasive action could be the difference between life & death.
Ford's ecoboost turbo has leak and needs to be replaced. Acceleration has decrease power and causes delay before acceleration finally kicks in.
My family and i were driving on an interstate in dallas.the vehicle was a 2013 ford f150 ecoboost. It was towards the end of morning rush hour traffic.i traveling approximately 60 mph and went to pass an 18-wheeler.i accelerated to pass it, when the entire truck started violently shaking. The check engine came on and the engine immediately lost power.the trucks engine was unable maintain highway speeds and i feared we would be struck by another vehicle.we were able to limp it off the highway without any further incidents. Fortunately this didn't happen on a two lane road while attempted to pass another vehicle.
After driving about 200 miles at 65mph in the rain, i accelerated quickly to pass a vehicle and my 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost truck seemed to lose power/stall and i could no longer accelerate. The engine light flashed for several minutes while this was happening and after several minutes (probably 2-3), power was restored and the engine light went off.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle hesitated, stalled, and the wrench warning light illuminated. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure recurred two times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,750. Ma 10/6updated 11/07/2017
While driving at both high speeds and low speeds, we have lost acceleration ability. A largeyellow 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!
I recently had my truck serviced for the reprogramming of a transmission concern. The next day my engine light came on and it will not run higher than 1st gear. The dealership was not helpful at all. They could not look at my car for another two weeks.
Truck went in to "limp mode" while accellerating to get on highway. Vehicle decellerated. Wrench light came on. Vehicle was shut down and towed. Found throttle body and motor assymbly defective
Engine rattles upon cold startup and check engine light illuminates from p0016 error code relating to the timing chain being stretched. Ford has issued technical service bulletins regarding this issue meaning it is a known issue with this model of vehicle, yet they refuse to help with the repair yet i have purchased an extended warranty and just so happen to be 3000 miles over the mileage limit.
Traveling at various speeds on highway.the orange wrench waring lights came on, speedometer went to zero, mileage indicator went out , gas dte indicator quit working, speed reduced. Switched vehicle off after stopping, switched back on everything reset - vehicle ran fine until the next time, same thing reoccurred. This has happened several times.took it to dewitts automotive repair, windsor, va.dianostic report indicates wiring harness and module sensor for powertrain needs replacing. Must be replaced by ford repair shop.
I was driving and went to pass another vehicle. My check engine light began to flash and my vehicle suffered an immediate power loss. Dealership has informed me that there is no fix and that this was an ongoing issue/investigation with nhtsa? this sudden loss of power leaves drivers in a very unsafe position. This is a brand new vehicle and ford is of no help.
I went to pass a car and the engine started to cut out and lose power. I did finally pass the car and the engine was erratic for at least 2 more miles. Engine light was flashing the entire time but then stopped and everything was okay.it had just stopped raining at the time and was humid, temp 75. It happened during full throttle. I have contacted my local ford dealership and they are looking into it.
6/08/13while traveling from kingsville to rio hondo at 6 am for a fishing trip, i accelerated hard to pass a semi-truck.my f150 shuddered violently in the back end, and i felt a significant loss of power.the check engine light blinked excessively before extinguishing.the truck resumed normal operation fairly quickly, within 5 sec.i continued to my destination with no further problems, making sure to limit my speed and make no more hard accelerations.the weather was rainy and wet conditions.i intended on investigating this issue once i returned home.6/09/13the truck had been parked and not driven until my departure on sun, 2 pm.on my way home i was forced to accelerate quickly on hwy 77 on ramp from fm 107 to keep up with traffic.the truck once again shuddered violently and the a/c began blowing hot air, the loss of power was much more significant than the last episode and i was forced to pull onto side of hwy 77 to avoid being struck by traffic behind me.the engine light blinked and continued to stay on.the truck resumed normal operation; however the length of time before that happened was much longer than before.i was certain i was going to be stranded and it was necessary for me to take emergency measures.the weather was hot and dry.
While driving on a highway at 75 mph i accelerated to pass a car and the check engine light began flashing and the truck started shuddering and would not accelerate, it started decelerating. I pulled off the road and put the truck in park. I revved the engine until the turbos started spooling normally again.
Truck has downshifted from drive into a lower gear.also engine rattles on startup. Mechanic advised the rattle is probably a stretched timing chain. Downshifting occurred on the highway at approximately 55 mph.my son has a 2011 4 wheel drive ford pickup with a v-6 engine. 45,000 miles. The timing was replaced at a cost of $1800. Ford motor company will not fix problems.
When hard acceleration, vehicle losses all power and will not accelerate. This has almost caused a accident three different occasions. Ford dealer tells me they can't find a problem but there's other ecoboost owners with the same problem.
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.
While driving on a highway, i went to pass another car. The transmission downshifted, and the rpm increased, until the engine/car began shuddering and slowed down, with the check engine light blinking. I was able to pull off the highway at the nearest exit, and after a period of time in idle, the engine regained its normal idle speed and operation. Checking codes pulled up a p0302, indicating a cylinder 2 misfire. No issues were found with the spark plugs, coil or cables for cylinder 2. This is a dangerous failure that appears to be affecting other owners of this truck, and could cause potential for injury or death, if the engine stalls at the wrong time.
Pulling camper onto interstate, accelerated to merge. Truck shook, engine light came on and truck barely made it safely to the next exit. Pepboys replaced #2 coil. Made it the rest of the trip. Unable to tow camper or accelerate normally, as truck shudders and slows significantly in residential and interstate speeds. Ecoboost seems to be an issue with this particular model truck and engine, so i have to take it to ford. I've already had to replace the transmission around 66,000..
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds and attempting to pass a vehicle, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred on three occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer after each failure, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact placed a shield on top of the turbo cooler to prevent water from entering, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

As i was passing a slow moving tractor trailer in my brand new 2013 ford f-150 limited v6 ecoboost with only 345 miles on it, on a two lane hwy in light rain well into the pass the vehicle just lost power almost causing me to have a head on collision with an oncoming vehicle. After talking to one of my friendswho works at a ford dealer told me that this is a big problem with the ford ecoboost engine. I took it the dealer i purchased the vehicle from and was told by the service agent that this is a common problem and that the ford engineers are working on a fix but haven't found one as of yet. How can i trust this vehicle to get me were i am going safely.
Driving down highway at approximately 60-65mph when i attempted to accelerate. Vehicle began to stall/shake and lose power. I was unable to accelerate while the vehicle was shaking. Check engine light began to flash on and off.

Truck has stalled many times i brought it to ford dealership and they say they can't find anything wrong,but it still stalls. It's happened on the highway,county street ,city street .it started march of 2018 truck has 50,000 miles the first time it happened.
Unintended accelerationdesign defect in vehicles equipped with an electronic throttle control system .
Driving new ford 2013 f-150 with the ecoboost engine. It was raining at the time. I tried to pass a vehicle and it went into limp mode, engine light came on and would not accelerate. This happened again several weeks later and the check engine light stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they replaced #6 spark plug and the catalytic converter. The problem happened again. Now i hardly drive the truck and it stays in the garage especially on rainy days.
Transmission shift from 5th gear to first going 70 mph on interstate 285 in atlanta, ga.one time stuck in first gear.would temporarily stop if vehicle was shut off and restarted.printout from our mechanic describing the issue: " vehicles equipped with a 6r80 transmission built prior to 4/8/2013 may exhibit a transmission engagement in 5th gear when starting.the wrench indicator and/or seat belt minder may be illuminated, the speedometer reads zero and the odometer dashes while driving.symptoms may clear after an ignition key cycle.diagnostics trouble codes (dtcs) po720 and po722 may or may not be stored inthe powertrain control module.the service procedure is to replace the molded leadframe on the main control assembly."nalley ford in sandy springs, gadid this on this vehicle, knew exactly the problem as they had had to do this before.in atlanta, if your vehicle downshifts that dramatically, you could easily be killed or terribly injured with the amount of big rigs flying around the perimeter interstate here in atlanta.i was surprised that there was not a recall on this flaw, and other similar, vehicles.i am grateful that my husband was not a statistic.would very much like to know what other complaints have been registered regarding this, not to mention the nearly $1,200 price tag.thank you.
After a prolonged period (8+ hours) of driving at highway speeds in frequent rain the vehicle shuddered and stalled (without completely dying) while in a passing maneuver.the service engine light flashed multiple times then went out.as a consequence of the power loss my vehicle was unresponsive to accelerator input and resulted in compromised safety between two rapidly converging vehicles.after approximately 10 -15 seconds the engine resumed normal operation.
I have a new ford f-150 with only 1,500 miles on it. I was leaving a restaurant getting on the road with cars rushing behind me going about 45mph when all the sudden the trucks engine started shaking really bad. The engine light come, truck started beeping and the tool wrench started to flicker on the dash board saying "service". The truck stopped accelerating all of the sudden and no matter how much i pushed the petal to accelerate, truck would not accelerate at all. Lost all power to accelerate. Cars from behind had to quickly maneuver out of my lane to avoid hitting me. Could have been much worse if i would have been going faster. Called ford roadside assistance to take truck to dealership to see what??s going on. I have read other similar problems to mine stating the weather and/or condition of road was wet but as for my issue the weather outside was cool and sunny no rain or wet road at the time the issue happened.

Continued lack of power when accelerating.several times while in a turning lane, i can hit the accelerator and the engine goes to a complete shut down of power.i have read the related engine issues here, but as a mechanical engineer, i can tell you this is a turbo issue.this issue has almost caused me several accidents due to oncoming traffic and the lack of power from engine that causes lack of movement from the truck.the lack of power last for 1 to 5 seconds and it is the same in wet or dry weather.i want this resolved.
Reported this problem before and now it getting worse it was just the transimission shifting from high gear 6 at 70 mpg in cruise and when i tap the breake peddle to disengage the cruise it dowm shifted to low 1 and the rpm went from 2500 to 6500 and stay in low until i came to a stop then everything went back to normal it now also blown transimission lines and wheni take off from a side street of stop lightit will take off ok then about the time i reach the center of the street it will sfift into nuteral i can step or pump the gas peddle but nothing happens it just goes into a slow role after 3 to 5 sec it then jumps into gear and takes off normal again also at slow speeds you can hear and feel it clunking into and out of gear and with a metallic sound some timesonce in the snow had it in 4x4 at parked it and turned it off the next day i back it out of the drive then shifted it into drive then the transfer caseshifted it out of 4x4 and it sounded like 2- 8 lbs sledge hammers smashing together and jarring the hole truck this in the beginning has only happen a few times but i was on the freeways at hi speeds i dont drive it on the freeways now and because the dealer ships want a $100 each time i take it in for the same problem and they dont do anything and plus i paid eatra for the platinumwarrenty so if i have to leave it i get aloner and i have even been able to get a loner even when it took them over a week to install the transmission lines after they blow out from stop and going in on residential streets also when the trucks shift from high to low you can hear the solenoids shifting all overe under the dash floor infront of the seat along with the dash light flashing even one with a eng with a trans attached
While driving at 45 miles an hour on 4th gear my truckunexpectedly shifted into first gear, causing me to lose full control of my vehicle
2013 ford f150 ecoboost supercrew (157" wb) when loaded exhibits pulse/bucking/shaking when taking off from a stop. Noticeably worse as more load is applied. Vehicle is rate with payload of 1500 lbs and it only takes 200-300 lbs in the bed to feel it and when you have 700-800 lbs it literally bucks. Had at dealer multiple times and been in contact with ford tech line who all say that no damage or safety issue exists and to live with it. I paid $42k for this vehicle and now i can't even put anything into the bed to to unsafe starts that are going to leave me stranded. To make matters worse the computer tries to compensate for the vibrations and starts to lower power causing it to not go which is dangerous in left hand turn situations. The tech said there was nothing they could do as ford states these are known issues.
While driving in rainy conditions at 55 mph, the driver accelerated which kicked into passing gear.at this time the steering wheel began to shake violently, the vehicle lost all power (though remained on) and decelerated to about 45 mph on it's own.the check engine light began blinking and remained lit for appx 1 minute.once it went off the vehicle regained normal operations.however, when attempting to accelerate again the same issue occurred.the next day in dry conditions the same situation occurred when accelerating quickly to pass only this time the check engine light stayed on.the same situation has not occurred again, though the light remains on.it is scheduled to go into the dealership tonight.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated and the brake pedal became very stiff. The contact started pumping the brake pedal until the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was driven to kalispell ford in kalispell, montana where it was diagnosed that the engine vacuum pump failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000. Right after repair contact drove home and brakes went out again. Vehicle was turned off and started again in which brakes came back into full use. Dealership was notified and kept vehicle for a week in which the failure was reproduced. Ford does not want to pay for repairs.
At approximately 80,000 miles, i began to hear a chirping or air whistling sound when lightly to moderately accelerating.i began to investigate the noise using the internet where i located videos from other f-150 ecoboost 3.5 engine owners who were experiencing the same exact senario as i was.they had found that the drivers side and/or passenger side exhaust manifolds were leaking exhaust.the tell tale sign is a darkening of the area around the rear of each manifold.the manifolds were warping from either a design flaw or material failure at the rear and also breaking the mounting fasteners.i have determined both of my manifolds are leaking exhaust from the noises coming from the engine compartment while driving.this may trigger a safety inspection failure if found due to leaking exhaust as well as an emission test failure if required by the state where the owner resides.also the release of carbon monoxide forward of the passenger compartment is a concern especially if the leaks increase in size.
Attempted to enter interstate traffic from an on ramp. Attempted to accelerate to speed and merge into traffic. The engine lost all power and failed to accelerate, the vehicle shook violently and slowed. A malfunction indication light began flashing on the dash. A vehicle behind me had to pass me on the shoulder to avoid a rear end collision. The condition cleared itself after approximately 20 to 30 seconds. I was approximately a hundred miles into a 150 mile trip in rainy weather. Returned to the dealer the following day who retrieved numerous misfire codes from the ecm (dtc p 0903, p 0904, p 0905). Dealer re-programmed the ecm and informed me i would have to drive it and see if that works. Performed research to see if this was a common issue with the ecoboost engine and found that indeed it was, that the condition has existed since at least 2011 model year and to date there appears to be no clear fix from ford. Additionally, despite well over a hundred complaints about this dangerous condition, that no action has been taken by the nhtsb. It is my most sincere hope that it does not take a fatality to spur action on this condition.
In normal city street, with my family, it's suddenly happened with no any speed maybe below the 40km,
Throttle body failed 12/4/17 leading to engine power loss at highway speed.engine light and wrench warning display appeared.could not accelerate.was able to coast to shoulder safely.restarting the vehicle, it immediately went to limp mode.vehicle was towed to dealership (apple ford, shakopee mn).tb was replaced by dealership service center.on 1/22/2020, the vehicle again lost power on highway and warning lights came on.again, was able to coast to shoulder and exit the freeway in limp mode and get to nearbydealership (wold motors, jordan mn). Determined that the throttle body again failed, was replaced.two failures with the same part in such a short period of time indicates a clear defect. Vehicle losing power due to this equipment failure to a very unsafe situation and could cause an accident and risk.
Passanger side exhaust manifold bolt as broke off causing an exhaust leak. The vehicle has 59010 miles and is a 2013. Ford wants over 1600 to fix said issue. Ford is not willing to accept fault or cover under emissions warranty.
Engine will shut off while driving,all power to steering is lost. If i can't drive off the road it is stuck on traffic. Ford know what is causing the loss off engine power and must buy a relocation fix kit to fix the issue.
3.5 v6 ecoboost fire. Completely burned my truck to the ground with my family driving in, wife and 5 yr old. Passenger suffered 3rd degree burns, 12/10/2016. Truck was in motion, we smelt smoke and within 2 minutes the truck was completely engulfed.
I took my 2013 ford f-150 with the ecoboost engine on a week long vacation down to south texas (approx. 1200 miles or 17.5 hours one way) it was sunny and warm the entire trip down and the vehicle ran great. However on the way back up to iowa in was raining as soon as we left and only let up raining for 20 min increments the entire way home. About 5 hours in we pulled off the interstate to get gas and eat. We got back in the vehicle and proceeded to get on the on ramp and return to the interstate. I was going about 40 mph with smooth acceleration when i gave my truck a little bit of gas to merge into the 75mph traffic. My truck did not move, instead it continued to go 40mph and revved up to redline. I had to let off of the gas completely and put my foot back on it and slowly climb up to 65mph. The truck started shaking horribly and my check engine light started to flash. After about 45 seconds the check engine light stopped flashing and the engine stopped shaking. I then could make very slight speed increments. I could not however step on the gas to pass somebody without the truck revving up to redline and shaking again. This happened every time i tried to accelerate quickly the rest of the way back (12.5 hours). The truck runs great until it is introduced to 70mph interstate driving in heavy rain for long periods of time.
This is the 5th incident with the same problem, but worst now. I had this truck at the ford dealership on monday june 17,2013. They saidit will be hard to diagnosis without a fault code. How is it they can tell me how fast i have been driving for the past month, but the inboard computer cannot tell ford technicians what is wrong.the engine cut off again for the 5th time, but this time it would not start. The instrument showed 2 icon's this time, a ( wrench and check oil ), i'm sorry but the wrench indicates i believe something to do with a rear end on a 4 x 4 truck, sorry this is only a 2 wheel drive vehicle. I tried the ( 2 )recommendation in the instruction book and when turned the ignition to start it only tried for less than 3 seconds, then the power to the ignition went blank. I tried for 30 minutes, then called ford road side assistant for a tow truck, which was dispatched within a hour. I had already called ford friday june 21,2013 for an appointment for # 3 & 4with the engine cutting off. I then called saturday morning and asking then for a better appointment, they gave me one for monday 6-23,2013 instead of tuesday 6-24-2013.i badly need transportation this next week, i'm going to ask ford for ambulance service this next coming friday june 28,2013, i am a disabled senior veteran and having hip injections next friday out of town at the veterans hospital and need a care giver,since i won't be able to drive after the procedure.ford this is beginning to be avery serious condition when driving and probably cause accidents very soon. Lets get the problem fixed or order me a new truck because of north carolina lemon law.
While traveling in our 2013 f150 with 37,000 miles from wisconsin to texas on interstate 35 at 70 mph towing a 4000 lb trailer the engine suddenly shut down and the gold wrench illuminated.had to quickly pull to the shoulder to get out of the way of traffic to avoid getting rear ended.the ecoboost engine went into limp mode when the gold wrench appeared and max speed was about 2 mph with the trailer attached.turned the engine off and when restarted after 10 minutes it seemed to be back to normal.went to the nearest ford dealer, rusty eck ford, wichita, kansas where a selftest was performed.no codes were found, no tsb or ssm found, but said they suspect the throttle body is going out (invoice no focs664277).continued on our trip and the same thing happened four more times that same day.the nextday of our trip south the truck ran flawless during the remaining 500 miles of our trip.since we have reached our destination the problem has occurred once during local driving. I am planning on replacing the throttle body but no one can assure me the this will fix the problem.this sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous and depending on the specific road and traffic conditions could result in an accident with injuries and/or fatalities.we were terrified driving through fort worth construction at night with heavy traffic and absolutely no shoulders for many miles fearing the gold wrench would appear.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission malfunctioned and erroneously down shifted causing the engine rpmā€™s to rev very high while the vehicle decelerated. During the failure, the hill descent and check engine light warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine was faulty. The contact indicated that the vehicle was included in the nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,000.
Shudder/misfire.the misfire occurs at various speeds going uphill or on a flat surface.the truck is currently at ford dealer ship who is trying to resolve the issue.according to the dealers tech the misfire can occurs at low rpms.new spark plug coils and three sets of new spark plugs have been installed.apparently it keeps blowing spark plugs.as of yet no solution has been found to the problem.
May 22, 2013- while driving south on i-55 and merging onto i-12, i was traveling approximately 35 mph when i gave the truck gas to accelerate into oncoming interstate traffic of 70+ mph.my truck completely went limp and i could not accelerate at all with the check engine light coming on.i was in real trouble at this point so i pulled off with one tire in the grass to avoid a serious accident and potentially being killed.approximately 1 minute later the truck regained power and i continued to my destination with the check engine light going back off.may 23, 2013- i called ford dealership where i bought my vehicle and they explained to me that nothing was wrong if the warning light went off.stating the system does this as an environmental precaution?may 28, 2013- i was traveling in galveston, tx at 25 mph when the check engine light came on again.i did attempt to give it gas to see if the same problem was occurring and it once again would not respond with the check engine light staying on permanently this time.i parked my truck for work until june 11, 2013.i took a picture of my dash to document the warning light.called ford dealership @ 7:20 a.m. On 6/10/13 explaining my situation. He stated that over the phone it sounds like the inner cooler. He explained to me that it is not dangerous and not to worry. He said the part was an updated part and they would have to run diagnostics to know the problem for sure. Dropped truck off at ford dealership @ 11:10 a.m. On 6/12/13.received phone call from ford @ 3:20 on 6/13/2012. They told me that it was not my inner cooler because my truck has this so called updated inner cooler and they replaced my catalytic converter. They assured me this was fixed and would not happen again since the system was updated.the power loss happened two more times since and has me really worried to drive it.

Vehicle intermittently sputters when accelerating from a stop and also when the vehicle is in motion.i replaced the ignition coil and spark plug in cylinder 3.unfortunately, the intermittent sputter continues to be an issue as well as the check engine light being activated. Accelerating in traffic and from a stop is dangerous and requires additional attention and driving techniques to prevent a potential rear end collision caused by a vehicle approaching my vehicle from the rear.
I was trying to pass another car when my engine stalled. I was going about 45 to 50 mph when i went to accelerate around the car and my engine completely stalled and lost power. The transmission light appeared. It had been raining alot and was humid and wet although not actively raining at time of malfunction.i drive a new ford f150 v6 with ecoboost technology.
Reduced engine power during hard accelerations.experiencing misfires at highway speeds and when pulling out into intersection.was almost hit by oncoming vehicle in intersection because truck lost power and speed in the middle of the intersection, truck was called on fast to make a lefthand turn at the gap in traffic and lost power. Vehicle was purchased new on april 13, 2013.ford dealership ran diagnostics and determined problem was due to oasis special message number 32227, "intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration".ford said there is no fix yet "engineering is investigating, continue monitoring for updates".

Upon researching the matter, the contact found that the fuel pump fuse was melting. The contact called a local dealer (moyer ford sales inc., 10111 state highway 59 s, directions foley, al 36535, (888) 699-3441) but was unable to speak with anyone. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
Extreme loss of power when accelerating, and violent engine vibrations during the process, lasting for about one minute and then everything goes back to normal operations. This is extremely unsafe and dangerous given the situation.
I first starting having the problem 5 days ago and the odometer will go to zero and the truck will not be responsive in terms of pressing the gas and a wrench symbol comes up. I was told it is the lead frame control.
September 2015 i-75 north bound, attempted to pass a vehicle at 70 mph and had loss of power, check engine light and violent engine shaking for 5-10 minutes on the highway before shaking and check engine light stopped. Happened in the gainesville fl area cloudy but dry day, had all scheduled maintenance done in venice fl prior to getting on the road at the dealership, 36,500 miles. October 2015 i-44 east bound tulsa ok, reentering the interstate had loss of power unable to enter at appropriate speeds, check engine light and violent shaking. Slammed on gas and then brake pedals with no difference. Pulled off the interstate parked the truck, turned off and restarted as soon as it started gunned the gas pedal rpm in the red line and again the truck lost all power, check engine light and shook did this for 30 minutes until i was able to start the truck and gun the rpm into the red line without loss of power. Called dealership asking about hydroplaning and engine losing power like in the tundra trucks, was told no ford does not have that safety feature. Cold and wet weather conditions 40,000 miles.november 2015 on tx 82 west bound at 80 mph, 35 degrees and rainy conditions. Attempted to pass a semi and had loss of power, check engine light and violent shaking was a passenger in the truck at this time and was still able to feel the shaking from the engine. Again lasted 5-10 minutes.went to the dealership for oil change before the trip in the beginning of november. 43,000 miles.have been to my dealership asking about this problem, and have been told there may be a recall but so far nothing. I do interstate driving in less than ideal conditions (rain, snow and ice) i need this truck to preform that is why i bought it. I understand it takes time and money to make a recall happen, but make no mistake this is going to cause accidents.
While trying to merg unto interstate engine lost power and started to shake.
The engine runs very rough at idle and other times during operation, its losing coolant level and shows a milky white residue in the oil fill cap.dealer says the milkshake stuff is normal, not!!!dealer says loss ofcoolant level is normal from atmospheric conditions.dealer says that these 3.5l v6's just normally run rough.transmission hesitates and pulses when pulling a load.recently i get a load snap/click sound at the heater control.this truck is brand new and feels like an old beat up truck.ford got rid of the 3.5l v6 and replaced it with a new revamped 3.7l v6.they couldn't fix the problems with the 3.5l v6 but won't fix those issues with mine and others who are stuck with a problematic engine.there should be a national recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the 2nd time today , i've had this problem and is the 4th episode of the same problem. This is a flex fuel 2013 ford f-150.this is beginning to be a big concern,as stated i was only going about 10 mph,since i was in a shopping center getting ready to park. The engine usual cranks after i come to a complete start and turn the ignition off. I need this fixed asap. I've got a trip planned.
Vehicle would repeat law battery message. Took to dealer battery tests good. Vehicle would sometimes die overnight with a no start condition in mourning.6 dealer visits and one new battery, "no problem found" from dealer.this vehicle could strand you at any time.i have a open case from ford but problem continues.
I bought this truck used. On 2 occasions it completely shift off with no warning. I googled and read that if the antifreeze runs low it will completely shut down until antifreeze is brought back to level. Recently i have used the vehicle more. I check the reservoir at least once a month fir this particular level. Everytime i have to add antifreeze. No evidence whatsoever of any leakage. Last month i did not check due to having a shoulder surgery so the truck sat unfriendly fir approximately 6 weeks. I used the truck to go to my local walmart store approximately a 9 mile trip one way. I noticed going to store the cooling fan cut on and stayed on. I looked at gauges and they were ok. After picking up groceries i cranked the truck . I pulled out of parking lot drove about a mile and noticed my check engine light came on. I started watching the gauges. The temperature gauge was slowly climbing to the hot range. I turned in the defroster and heater to pull heat off the engine constantly watching so i could make it back home. I live in a rural community and did not want to break down. I slowed my speed to 20-30 mph which did help keep gauge in safe zone. When i arrived home my husband checked the reservoir which was completely empty. He added 1-1/2 gallons of coolant. We let sit and then cranked the truck it is now back to running in the normal range. I posted what happened on my facebook page. I have discovered this is a very common problem with the 2013 f-150 and in my opinion very dangerous since there is absolutely no warning that fluid level has mysteriously dropped and evaporated and the truck shuts down and will not start until coolant is refilled. I haven't been stranded on the side of the road ... Yet... But this is certainly something that should be investigated.
My truck has over 115,000 miles on it now i drive 50,000+ miles a year. I bought the vehicle new 1st occurrence was at appx 50,000 miles i was attempting to pass on interstate the engine stalled started run rough and lost power this corrected it self after i let off the throttle in a few seconds. It did this one more time a few days later. Talked to local dealer asked about fuel filter, they said there was no filter. They recommended running fuel injector cleaner. I did this and continued to do this but engine idled rough at stop signs even in park. It finally did the same thing a third time and then again from a stop sign. I had spark plugs replaced this was at 95,000 miles this helped i did not have the stumble problem again but still idles rough. Finally 2 days ago it was going down road and wrench light came on and vehicle went into limp mode pulled over shut off and restart engine it went into normal mode no problem. I have cleaned the map sensors all three but no help. I did note map sensors are wet. I rear in one of your many complaints about this problem that it may be condensation from inter-cooler this sounds plausible. When it goes into limp it does not throw a code so no way to know what is wrong. I have spoke to my dealer no help. I have not called ford yet. I have rear multiple (100s) of similar complaints a lot of them on your site. Will it take someone dying for you to force ford to fix this. The truck cost over 50,000 i am still paying for it and it is unsafe. I had a nissan with over 300,000 miles and no problems do we need to buy foreign made vehicles to get a good product? will american companies not stand behind their products? i as a tax payer bailed out ford and gm can i not expect a quality made product in return! i guess after someone dies in a crash caused by the f150 stalling on the highway the nhtsa will finally step in an force a recall!!!
While running approximately 45 mph i accelerated hard to make a pass and the truck just lost all power.it started sputtering and i fell back into line. The check engine light came on and it continued to run rough so i pulled off the road.as i did this it "caught up" and started running smooth again and the check engine light went off.later in the day i tried it again and it started to do the same thing so i quickly let off.both of these times it was raining.later after the rain stopped i tried it again with no problem.it only happened when it rains.i took it to the ford dealership and they told me there was a fix but my truck was made before included date.don't know that date.told me also that no code was registered on the computer even though the check engine light came on. Truck battery keeps going dead too and it has now been in the dealership for 8 days straight and i still don't have any answers.truck has been in shop 10 days in past month.
Said vehicle does not get the mileage stated on window sticker and advertisements.2013 4x4 ecoboost states 15city/21hwy, it does only get about 13-15mpg in city, but on highway; average is roughly 17mpg, which compared to the sticker is a 4mpg difference.
While driving and moderately accelerating onto freeway yellow wrench light came on, battery light came on and car decelerated. Accelerator did not work and motor ran rough. Turned ignition off then back on and started car. Warning lights went away and motor ran fine
Ford ecoboost engine.traveling on state highway (one lane in each direction) at about 45mpg (speed limit was 55).i attempted to pass a slower car.i depressed the accelerator and move into the oncoming traffic lane.as i came even with the slower car, the engine cut out and i was only able to maintain a speed of 40 to 45 mph.another car pulled in right behind me to also pass the slower car at the same time.a semi trailer crested the hill and was quickly approaching.i was unable to hit the breaks and return to my lane of traffic because the second passing car was accelerating quickly behind me and i was unable to accelerate at all because the engine was stalling.the second passing car realized something was wrong and hit the breaks allowing me to also slide back in line as the semi shifted onto the shoulder in his lane.we went three-wide on a two lane highway at highway speeds.after about a minute, the engine warning lights went out on the dash, the engine kicked back in.i was able to safely pass the slower car and traveled home.i took the truck to the local dealer for evaluation and they told me this is known to happen during rainy weather.weather at time of incident, partly cloudy, around 4:30 in the afternoon.this is the third time my engine has cut out on me during acceleration.this is the only time to nearly wrap up four vehicles in a nasty wreck.
Oil and radiator fluid leaks causing engine smoking and nauseating odor when heater turned on while engine cold or cold exterior temps.complete loss of engine and drive power randomly lasting 15-60secs, then all numbers ie: gas milage, speed, mileage become dashes, speedometer quits working, on highways and city street. Pulling over shutting off and restart will reset until next random episode.rough jerks and occasionally a bang with jerks (feel like it comes from the axels) usually at low speeds. More often in parking lots but in traffic jams on highways.once transmission recall complete it ran fantastic for a week and a half. Now it's worse than ever and engine light comes on for a day and then goes off.
My 2013 f150 ecoboost has approximately 65k miles on it and has recently begun stalling while in operation - always moving.when this occurs, an orange crescent wrench appears on the information center, the rpm's begin to fluctuate, the truck loses all acceleration power, the truck begins to shutter, and i am forced to immediately stop and restart the vehicle.there is no specific time when this happens as opposed to not, and it is very dangerous as the traffic around me has no way to anticipate the issue either.the shop i took the vehicle to stated they "think" it is the throttle body, but are not positive.this is my first ford in several years/cars and though originally pleased with the truck, i am quickly becoming frustrated.
Timming chain making rattling sound on startup, the issue has been reported to ford motor company for the years 2011-2015 an d yet the ford company refuses to make a recall. The cost of replacement is between 1,900.00 and 2,900.00 dollars. That is alot for the cosummer to deal out for something the ford company should be responsiable for.tbs servoce bullentin 18-2305. This all happens at start up and continually gets worst if not fixed.
Engine turbo, 100000 miles took to dealership to take a look at. Dealer found nothing. At 108000 miles started having the same issues with truck down shifting and grinding and engine squealing.
While driving my ford ecoboost f-150 on i-40 on the way to work this morning i had a severe loss of power while merging onto the highway. I had to take evasive action to miss other traffic due to the sudden loss of power and others had to avoid me as well. This was a very dangerous and scary situation. I am taking my truck to the dealership for them to look at the problem. Conditions were damp and cold this morning while i was driving.i think this may be related to the wet / damp conditions that affect the ecoboost engines losing power.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle restarted after one attempt, but the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rubber boot needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.
2013 f150 xlt w/ ecoboost42k cost , had to accelerate to get out of the way of a potential accident and the engine stalled started missing barely missed totaling the truck had to plow in to a grass median to keep from being hit. I was able to restart the truck and get it home andhave not driven it since. I am so disappointed. If this is not a safety issue i don't know would be, this is scary stuff.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred only during rainy or humid weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on three separate occasions where the six spark plugs, converter assembly, and nuts were replaced. In addition, the pcm was updated, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,132.
Vehicle sputtered and stalled while slowing down on freeway. After towing to dealer, dealer could only find loose battery cable. 2 days later engine stalled again while accelerating on freeway with same symptoms. Vehicle will not start and is with dealer who initially said no issues can be found.vehicle symptoms match description of "limp mode".
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled more than twice and the wrench icon warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle stalled again before it was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was able to restart and the dealer diagnosed that the throttle body assembly needed to be replaced. The actuator control system was not closed and was faulty internally. The manufacturer issued service campaign number: 13n03 to address the repair that was specific to certain models. The manufacturer provided no solution. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
While driving on the highway at approximately 70 mph my 2013 ford f-150 downshifted from sixth gear to forth causing the truck to quickly decelerat down to 47 mph. Thank god the seatbelt worked and that nobody was behind me. Took it directly to a ford dealership told them what happened and left it for them to figure out what happened. Ford called and said it was my timing chain and it needed to be replaced at a cost of $3,200 + tax. Doing some research on the problem i've learned that there was a multiple tsb's on the problem yet my ford dealer where i get my maintained never mentioned it. So my warranty ran out and i am on the hook to the $3,200+ tax when they knew that an engineering problem existed.
Vehicle 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
Vehicle exhibited a crank non-start condition. Fuse 27 was examined and found to be melted. These two observations satisfy ford's conditions of tsb 15-0137. Ford knows this is an issue with their design and offers a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293-a). The fuse was melted from poor fuse box contact design. Thankfully, this happened on startup and not while the truck was in motion.
While traveling at highway speed on i-69 in michigan between lansing and flint, i attempted to merge into the passing lane to allow merging traffic from the on-ramp onto the expressway.in order to change lanes, i used firm acceleration to avoid contact with the faster vehicles in the passing lane.the steering wheel started shaking violently while the check engine light flashed.all forward acceleration was impossiblethe engine sputtered for 45-60 seconds after the event until power was restored.one week after i took delivery of the truck, this problem began on a similar trip on the way to toledo around the dundee exit on i-23.the vehicle only had 400 miles on it at the time.this was in early may 2013.i took the vehicle to the dealer who performed the tsb replacing the charged air cooler and updating the software in the engine control module.this can be repeated on any trip of significant duration on a rainy day.the tsb did absolutely nothing to address this problem, and i fear for my safety as well as my family's safety.i do not let me wife drive the car because she would not be as well equipped to deal with an event like this.i feel cheated by ford, and i am not satisfied with their attempts of fixing this.furthermore, i know every time this happens the engine is taking in large amounts of water through the intake, and this is catastrophic for engine life and longevity.please pursue recall efforts now on this horrible engine.
Engine knocking on startup. The knock is more easily heard from the passenger side of the vehicle. The knocking is the most noticeable for the first 30 seconds of startup. This occurs every day. The amount of knocking follows an increase in engine rpm.one occasion i was driving 65 on the freeway, the engine compartment started violently shaking. The car lost acceleration and flashed the check engine light. This was the start of the engine knock.09
While driving the power to my speedometer would go out. Also the truck would increase in rpm's. The last time it happened the wheels locked up on me. In most cases the problem would be fixed once i turned the car off and re started it.
When accelerating engine goes into "limp mode". The result is no throttle response.
Was accelerating entering interstate i95 north bound from an on ramp and suddenly my vehicle lost power and began to stall and shutter.the truck rapidly lost power plus speed and a tractor trailer truck almost ran in to the back of me.i dealt with this issue for the remainder of my 500 mile trip to nyc (and still dealing with this issue today now weekly bases).once back home i took the truck to the dealership who was aware of misfire issues with my truck model (apparently it is known by the manufacturer that the truck stalls and misfires issue and said i had all the latest updates however still today i experience stall and misfire mainly under hard acceleration.lately the issue has worsen and i am told by the manufacturer that there is nothing that they can of will do about it until they come up with a fix.this vehicle is a major safety risk period.i have asked the manufacturer over and over to correct the problem however they simply told me they don't have a fix for is as of yet. I am asking that you look into this and investigate my concern please don't wait until someone god forbid loose their life because this is a major safety concern.we need to be more proactive than reactive.the ford f150's equipped with the turbo eco boost engine is a major safety hazard it is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt and loose their life before something might be done - that is the sad part.please i beg you to look into my concern and follow up asap.just last night my vehicle stalled i have to constantly drive it cautiously. I only have less than 14,000 miles on the vehicle because i am scared to drive it - i don't want to sell it to no one else because i would feel bad knowing the major safety issues this vehicle has - i just can't bring myself to putting someone in a vehicle that could hurt them.please get behind ford and investigate this issue.
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.
Fuel pump fuse is prone to failure due to design flaw. Ford is aware and a service bulletin has been issued. Also a 'fuse 27 relocation kit' available. This failure causes the fuel system to fail without warning and causes the vehicle to stop operating. A recall should be done or offer of free repair should be available.
Now the second time in and the truck doesn't even have 50k miles on it. Truck would turn over but not start and left my wife and kids stranded in a parking lot where i had to go get them. It's hot as heck in june/july in texas so i know it isn't a cold weather start thing. Researching online we are not the only ones with this problem. Eventually leaving it there and messing with the key and ignition switch i'm assuming it started after a few hours. The truck was not over heated.
I was at a stop sign turning into a main street, i accelerated to turn into the intersection when i attempted to accelerate the truck did not do anything. It was really nerve wrecking, i stepped on the gas like 3 times until the truck finally reacted. I almost got into a really bad accident which would of been my fault because of the cars defect. This is not the only time that this has happened to me, but is the most recent. They really need to do something about this! i took the truck to the dealer and was told that they cannot duplicate customers concern. This is a $43,000 truck and think that i should get what i have paid for not a little piece of crap.
When the truck was in cruise control, the engine started randomly downshifting all the way to 1st gard.
I was traveling down a secondary road in rainy conditions at approx 35mph as i pressed the gas to accelerate, the engine lost power and would barely accelerate. Engine light began flashing with what i assume is the infamous ecoboost misfire. The truck is a 2013 with only 13000 miles. Once i stopped briefly the misfire went away and normal operation resumed. There were no other vehicles around but as others have stated this is a problem that needs to be addressed because in different circumstances it has the potential to cause an accident.
Horrible timing chain rattle upon cold start up. 73k miles and ford is very aware of this issue on the 3.5 liter ecoboost engines and will not address but they have changed the designs in the newer year models. Have videos to prove issue and dealer would not help even with extended warranty
On 5/22/13, while traveling on i-81 vehicle hwy mileage dropped from 20.3 to approx 16 mpg.on 5/23 while driving to ford dealership in houlton, maine i was passing a vehicle at 30mph ina 45 zoneand the engine almost shut down. I had to pull back because of approaching traffic. At the ford dealer,their computer check showed the engine dropped the #6 cylinder (that's what they told me). Theysaid it was a ecoboost problem and would have to call the factory engineers.two weeks later, i have not heard from ford or the ford dealer. I ordered & they built the truck in april 2013. It was delivered 4/26 at cherokee ford, woodstock, ga.i bought the ecoboost engine because of the epa hwy mileage rating of 21 mpg and paid $1050.00 extra to get it. I have always gobetter than the rated mpg on my vehicles, so this is not driving habits.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
If you have an ecoboost v6. I have noticed that sometimes when you have to accelerate very quickly the vehicle takes up to 5 seconds to respond and give you any power. I assume that the computer is spinning up the twin turbos but those critical seconds can cause a serious accident. I have on a few occasions almost got ran over because the truck decided to take its time giving me power to get out of the way. Its like for those few seconds you have no power.
This has happened more than once driving on the highway 65 mph automatic transmission suddenly shifts into first gear all lights on rear end squelling, completely no control over vehicle, dangerous, dangerous
I was driving down the i5 freeway in orange county ca around 6:45 pm doing approximately 65-70 mph, suddenly my truck downshifted into first gear causing me to start fish tailing and almost flipped over.my engine then went into a full rev, redlining.i was able to get over to the side of the road.where i had my truck towed to the dealer.

The failure mileage and vin were not available. *
Has a really rough start. Knocks really loud when idle. Drives rough and knocks as well. After a week of searching forums i found that a lot of people are having this problem and have the cam phasers replaced. Most of them just said they changed out the engine.
Regular morning, right as i was driving out of the parking lot, two alarms went off: "power train" and "service engine soon". At first i thought it was an error so i continued to drive out of the parking lot. Not even 10 yards out, my truck began to jerk forward so i put on park and shut the engine off. I started again, attempted to drive back to my parking stall, and same thing happened. I bought this truck about 10 months ago and it only got 7800 miles on it. I haven't put any strenuous work load on this truck, mainly used for commuting so far.
Ford f150 ecoboost 2013 13,000 mile the engine shakes and a lost of power when passing. The check engine light come on while its happen but shuts off when the power come back. I have taken it to ford 4times but because it has no check engine light on they look at me like if i'm crazy.
I had been driving on the highway in the rain for approximately 2 hours, when i needed to pass a semi-truck and pushed the accelerator pedal to accelerate the truck started to shudder and stall, with an accompanying flashing mil light.i let off the accelerator and the mil light became steady.i pulled off to the side of the road, shut-off the truck and opened the hood to see if there was any obvious cause to the misfire condition...and there was not.i restarted the truck, but the mil light remained illuminated steady.i drove conservatively home and hooked up my code reader to the obd-ii port.it showed codes of p0300, p0305, and p0306...the freeze-frame data showed the condition occurred at 65 mph and 2578 rpms.i called the dealer and setup an appointment to have the truck inspected.the dealer applied ford tsb 13-8-10 as the fix (don't know if this will fix the misfires or not).my truck has the 3.5l ecoboost motor.
The contact owns 2013 ford f150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
Driving in rainy conditions attempting to accelerate my truck started to lose power, shaking and check engine light started to flash.after getting out of traffic to pull over called my wife to bring me my o.b.d hand held found that i had codes p0300, p0304, p0305 and p0306 which is for cylinders misfiring .this is the second time this has happened in heavy traffic condition it could easily cause a traffic accident, does someone have to die before ya'll take action. My truck is at kenly ford in kenly north carolina and like the first time they play it off like i don't know what i am talking about and they always say they can't find anything wrong with it.please don't sit around and let this problem cost someone their life......

We own a ford f-150 3.5 l ecoboost v-6 king ranch pickup truck.truck was purchased in 2014 new.have serious concerns as the vehicle has so many current issues.from day one of purchase and while still in the dealership parking lot, upon start up there was a very loud clattering sound.sales rep said it was because it was cold and it had been sitting.purchased vehicle, had problems immediately with dangerous lag in acceleration (which we still do), an average of 12 mpg if we were lucky and very serious engine misfires withmajor decrease in power accompanied by sputtering whole vehicle shuddering while trying to merge on the highway or with hard acceleration.very dangerous, especially if in the fast lane, which we were.we started to limp over several lanes of traffic to the shoulder and the truck regained power.many misfires like this, all explained to the ford service tech and verified on the trucks computer.so many in fact it was necessary to replace all spark plugs at less than 57k miles.we just picked our truck up today, feb 18th, 2020, after it was in the shop again, this time for 12 days, to fix this misfire problem again and numerous other issues with the front hubs staying locked in 4 wd while in 2 wheel drive and switching in and out, timing chain replaced, and the ecoboost turbo tubes replaced as they were cracked, iwe replaced, and left front actuator.also about 3 weeks ago it had transfer case motor replaced as well as numerous switches, all which did not correct the problems.my husband and i decided to take it on the highway to see if the lag misfire problem was fixed.when he hit the gas there was a screechy sound from the top of the engine, power seriously decreased once again on the highway and the check engine light was back on.i sent an email to ford and auffenberg ford in ref to these continuing problems.
Lose power on acceleration while passing on the highway sudden lost of power and engine fail shacking type of feel not noise or warning before events
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.
The fuel pump fuse (fuse 27) overheats and burns out resulting in the entire truck shutting off at speeds. This happened to me at 65 mph on a highway leaving me with no engine at that speed.

I purchased a 2013 ford 150 supercrew cab 4x4 with the 3.5l v6 motor 4 weeks ago. All has been well until the first rain last week. I was on the freeway behind a slow vehicle, i went to pass they vehicle ahead of me on a four lane freeway, and my truck stumbled and lost power instantly as i put my foot down. I had myself, wife, and two children 1 and 2.5 in the truck. It was very scary. The check engine light was on and with no power as safely as i could i moved back into the slow lane of traffic and off the freeway around other passing vehicles. I cannot believe this. I have 2,400 miles on the vehicle. I turned it off. Restarted and no check engine light. It ran fine, i scaredly pulled back on freeway and went 50 mph to my destination. I reported issue to ford and took truck in. No issue is shown and vehicle is running fine. They kept my vehicle overnight to diagnose no issue. Help! please!
I bought my truck new from the dealer 2013.i'm consistent with all the up keeps of my truck.however, mid august 2016, i noticed the truck hesitated to start at the beginning while in stationary position for a few days, then out of nowhere from one day to the next, the engine didn't start in the morning again while in stationary position and then the engine light came up!i bought a new battery thinking that maybe it needed to be replaced, even with the new battery the truck failed to start in stationary.after that,i tried starting my truck for two consecutive days, by the third day the truck started!i drove it immediately to autozone but nothing came up wrong with it?so, i drove it back home.a week later, i had no problems with the truck, like nothing ever happen.then, yesterday all of a sudden i was driving home, while in motion the engine died in the middle of traffic on a city street, so i pulled over to the side of the road and immediately attempted to restart the truck as it continued to hesitate.finally, after 10 minutes the truck started and i drove to autozone and again nothing came up wrong with it.so i drove it back home. Then, today, which is september 2, 2016 while the truck is stationary it failed to start and the engine light, came up again.something is wrong with this truck!i don't feel safe to drive in fear that my truck will stop working while in motion and cause an accident.i can get stranded anywhere at anytime.
Raining most of the day, i exited i-29 on to st 46, when i tried to pass a car, the engine pretty much shut down and began viborating.the check engine light came on and i had to pull over and let it idle for a bit. This happened again 2 days later on i-90.the dealer said there was nothing they could do.i'm lucky traffic was very light at the time.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle downshifted on its own without warning. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and then to luther family ford (located at 3302 36th st s, fargo, nd 58104, (701) 282-2350) where it was diagnosed that unknown engine components needed to be replaced. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact stated that the recall repair was completed in june of 2019. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The contact was unable to communicate with the manufacturer about the failure. The failure mileage was 128,073.
While trying to merge into traffic i pressed the accelerator to the floor to get the truck up to the speed of traffic flow.i had no response from the engine for approx 1 to 2 seconds. This put me in a very dangerous situation as i had to get on the brakes hard to slow the vehicle on the on ramp to keep from getting hit by the faster traffic on the highway. In addition the traffic behind me had to rapidly slow down to keep from hitting me.we took the vehicle into the ford dealership on monday 30 sept 2013. This was ruidoso ford in ruidoso new mexico. They checked the vehicle and said there was no problem with it and that they knew of no other problems of this type on 2013 f-150 fx-4 pickup trucks. I am still in the talking stages with them about this problem as i feel they have made little effort to solve it and the research i have done indicates that ford motor corporation is aware of this problem. (this problem has happened to me several times since i purchased this vehicle, i thought that after the break in period, as the truck was new when purchased this problem would go away but it has not. Also this truck does not get the gas mileage that it is claimed to get.
As i am driving the 2013 ford f-150 raptor 6.2l the gears seem to be off, if i am driving only 30mph the gear is at 6. Also the more dangerous and scary thing is that it shifts down without any warning, i was traveling about 35mph and the gear seem to shift down to 1 locking my rear tires and making me skid almost causing the vehicle behind me to run into me. The tires locked almost as if i put the brakes on. I'm glad i was only going 35mph but what if i'm going 80, this would be a more dangerous and scary scenario. It also happened when i turned on to a street and as i started to accelerate it dropped my gear to 1, locked my wheels and acted like it didn't want to shift or accelerate , i pulled off to the side of road, i sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened and went on my way nervous if it will happen again, which it didn'tand made it home.next day i took to ford and they said they cant duplicate the issue so there is nothing we can do. This is scary , i don't fell safe with me and my son in this vehicle. What could be causing this dangerous situation? what is my next opposition to get this fixed. Thank you
Upon hard acceleration to pass on highway the truck lost power check engine light continually flashed and shuttered when attempted to give truck any acceleration. After a few minutes of driving on shoulder to get to safe exit vehicle seemed to reset and regain all functions and power.
This is the third time the vehicle has done this to me while driving at highway speeds the vehicle (ecoboost motor) the engine has shuddered and lost all powers when attempting to pass another vehicle or accelerate. On the first instance i was on a two lane road attempting to accelerate to pass a semi truck when the truck started missing so bad it choked out and shut down in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic i had to swerve into a ditch to avoid a head on collision. The second time was on a four lane during a 45 minuet drive when i went to pass it lost all power causing me to drop to 40 miles an hour in the passing lane of a highway causing many vehicles to swerve to avoid collision. The most recent time was when same as the second going to pass somebody the truck lost all acceleration would not get out of the way of traffic nearly causing another accident. I have had it into the dealer several times and i am constantly getting we see the history code but we can not reproduce the problem. This problem has left me feeling unsafe to drive my vehicle and hurting resale value as well as putting my safety on the line.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle lost engine power and the warning light illuminated. The rpms increased to 1,000. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and the engine was turned off. The vehicle restarted and resumed normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic was unable to locate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000.
On this new f-150 with eco boost engine ,the engine now has shut down 2 times the last 2 days on june 12 and 13, 2013. The engine oil light came on. I was only going 20 mph when this happened both times since i was stopping at the stop sign 3 blocks from my house. On the highway with the engine in cruise control at speed of 60-65 mph the transmission goes from 6 th gear to 5th gear alot.
Cooling system connections. Ford has put in clips on hoses that connect to overflow for cooling system and on a y-connector at front of motor that not only leak all the time but can just pop off and cause the engine to overheat. I am constantly having to keep buckets under my truck to catch fluid. Ford want an outrageous amount of money to fix and based on what i have read in forums the fix may only last a week and start leaking again. This happens on the 5.0v-8 econoboost.. Here is a video i tookhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn4owb5dxx4
June 30, 20153:30pmf150 shuddered and then stalled out while running traffic.wrench insignia appeared on dashboard screen.i was able to coast to the side of the road, put it in park and it restarted.i was the only person in the truck.june 30, 20155:45pm f150 shuddered and then stalled out while in runningtraffic.wrench insignia appeared on dashboard screen.i was able to coast to the side of the road, put it in park and it restarted.there were 4 people in the truck.truck not used from june 30to july 4th.july 4th, 2015 6:30pm f150 shuddered and stalled and went in to some type of barely running mode.the wrench insignia again appeared on the dashboard screen.i coasted to the side of the road.truck struggled to start but eventually did so and i took it home and parked it as it was becoming dangerous to be on the road with it.july 1, 2015 called and made an appointment at wayne county ford service dep't in honesdale pa.they gave me an appointment date of july 6 at 9:30am.they could not diagnose the problem and the truck is still sitting there as of july 7th.
On 03/17/2016 i was driving on route 287 in new jersey in the fast lane at speeds around 65 mph my truck had a loss of power. The check engine light never came on and the truck started shuttering really bad, with the accelerator pushed down the truck was slowing down and the cars behind me were hitting their brakes. After about 2 minutes the truck went back to normal. I brought the truck to the dealership and they were unable to diagnose the problem. They said they know about this issue and removed the air deflector and reprogrammed the powertrain control module. 7 days later i had another close call on route 287 in new jersey when my truck started misfiring and shuttering. Again no check engine light ever came on. I brought the truck back to the dealership. There were no diagnostic trouble codes or alarms. The mechanic took the truck for a test drive using an integrated diagnostic system and found a power balance and cylinder #4 misfire. They replaced #4 coil and gave the truck back to me. 24 hours later and another close call the truck is back to the dealership and i was told it was another cylinder #4 misfire. The dealership is being very helpful and trying everything they can but this is an enormous safety problem and if this issue is not corrected it can turn into a fatal ending.
Loss of power when i accelerate.i feared for my life, when i was merging on to the highway and a semi-trailer almost rear ended me because i could not accelerate to get up to the speed limit.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly decelerated and independently engaged into limp safe mode. The contact mentioned that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle started to shake violently as the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 1,300.
I wanted to make your office aware and seek any assistance you may be able to offer regarding a safety issue with the ford ecoboost engine found in many trucks in our state.recently i was driving on a two lane road and ended up behind a slow moving tractor trailer.when getting to a proper passing zone, i accelerated to pass the vehicle.just about the time i was alongside it, my truck (a 2013 f150 ecoboos with about 78k miles) started shuddering, a check engine light came on and it drastically reduced power almost causing an accident when another vehicle was approaching from the other direction (this took several seconds - the passing zone was entirely clear when i started the maneuver).i took my vehicle to a local dealer for repairs only to find out that it was from a manufacturer defect affecting condensation in the cooling unit of the turbos.ford had issued a technical service bulletin (tsb-14-0017) regarding the issue but no recalls madenor any customer notifications sent out.i have notified ford and requested 1) they reimburse the cost of repairs; 2) issue an immediate recall for this major safety defect; and 3) immediately notify owners of their product as to the possible safety hazard that could occur when putting the engine under a heavy rpm load. Additionally, i am asking if your office can follow up with this request to ensure that someone doesn't encounter the same bad situation or worse.this was a potential fatality situation that could have been avoided.thanks[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2013 ford f150 is stalling at at any speed, and the wrench icon appears on the dashboard. Sometimes the engine icon also appears when this happens. It's off and on. The engine light does not stay on. I took it in for a checkup, and they said fuel system needs cleaning.also, my transmission has started jumping at low speeds, and reduces the vehicle to and absolute crawl....less than 5mph. It's not a high speed problem...just at lights ,complete stops and stop and go driving/traffic.
Brake rotors warping prior to 18,000 miles; engine cooler fan runs in high speed during summer months, all the time.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle began to shake, wobble and lose power. The vehicle was turned off, shifted into neutral, and restarted however, the vehicle continued to run erratically. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that a shroud would need to be placed over the inner cooler to prevent condensation. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred the same day. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 14,200.
The ford motorcraft timing chain part at4z-6268a was replaced on 12/28/2018 and failed on june 11,2019.being a 3.5l ecoboost interference engine, their was consquencial damage to the cylinder and valves leaving the vehicle inoperable. The vehicle was at home resident and required a tow. The safety issue is related to a part that failed, fortunately while stopped, and not in motion. I am currently trying to address the issue with ford, however they are not standing behind their written warranty or providing a remedy for the part or consequential damage related to the timing chain resulting in the absence of any repair invoices.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle suddenly decelerated without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 8,000.
With a hard acceleration the truck blogged down & the engine service light came on. I thought the engine shut off so i pulled it down into 1st gear & it took off again. Still sputters like there is water in the gas or something. Light will not go off. Pretty dangerous in heavy traffic. It actually didn't have any power what so ever. Pretty scary. I read there were several complaints of the same situation. Why has ford taken care of this as a recall?
The contact owns a 2013 ford f150. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred twice however, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 940.
As i am driving in motion on highway or street the truck will down shift by its self causing me to skid to a stop, as i try to accerlearate it will not upshift, for a minute or two. This has happened many times! causing many near crash conditions.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle did not start and was not operable. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. The vehicle was towed to len stoler ford (11275 reisterstown rd, owings mills, md) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that runs through the fuel pump was defective due to the fuel wiring harness overheating. A new wire needed to be relocated to another fuse box. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,372.
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.
Experiencing timing chain rattle at startup (for about 2-3 seconds, noise comes from the front of the engine), as described in tsb 16-0027, after truck has been parked overnight or longer than 8 hours. Rattle is definitely mechanical sounding and sounds like the engine is about to fall apart.
I was driving down the highway, when all of a sudden, the throttle was lost.the truck went from 65 mph to 5 mph in a matter of a couple of seconds and would not accelerate.after a few minutes of trying to maneuver to the side of the road, going only 5 mph, the truck began to shake.took it to the shop, and they couldn't replicate the problem, nor would it show up in the computer system.took it home, and later that evening, it lost the throttle again.took it back to the shop the next day after looking at this website, and told them to replace the throttle body to see if that was the problem.haven't had any other issues.this is very dangerous because it could cause a wreck or loss of vehicle control.it cost me over $300 to fix this issue.ford should really issue a recall since many vehicles have had this issue.
While driving and in 6th gear on a 2 lane rd, the truck shifted down into 1st and caused me to slide off the road. Wheel almost locked up. I turned the truck off and restarted about 10 minutes later. Placed the shifter in manual and used manual to get home. They next day truck ran but engine runs rough and trans acts up now and then.no damage but now the truck doesn't run right. I cleared the codes but not much better.
My ford f150 experienced a coolant system leak similar to recalls for other ford models (https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2017/03/29/ford-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recal.html). The problem is so bad with ford trucks around my model year that there is a nationwide backorder of the part to fix the problem. The coolant system's "t connector" was leaking onto my wiring harness and presented a potential fire hazard much like the recall notice for similar ford vehicles. Simply search "2013 ford f150 coolant leak" and the t connector problem is at the top of the search results. Ford dealers and mechanic shops are aware of the design flaw, but ford motor co will not address it as a recall at this time. This needs to be remedied.the leak was occurring when the vehicle was running and in motion.
Had the engine studded and drop a cylinder,this is an ecoboost motor,the check engine light started to flash while running rough.it happened as i was passing a tractor trailer on the highway,as i got around him another trailer was coming on behind me,this is when it dropped a cylinder,the trailer almost ran over me.this is a problem with this truck i found out once i did some research,ford needs to do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed.i called the dealer the first time this happened,as far as the studded and he said bad gas keep driving it(59,500 mls). It happened again at 61,381,took to dealer and they did a tsb 14-0017 reprogram,this worked for about a week then it happened again,took it to the dealer 61850mls,they couldn't get it to do it,i picked it up and 20 miles later it did it again,i got it on video this time so theres no questions,seems as though they know about it but are blowing it off, let me get outside warranty then take a look at it.let me tell you if it happensagain, and my family gets hurt i will own ford !!!! thanks for you time.
Approximately two months ago i purchased a used 2013 ford f-150 from a local dealership in warren, michigan.recently i received a notice in the mail detailing a recall regarding vehicles equipped with a 6r80 transmission ' sudden downshift (safety recall 19s07). After receiving my powertrain control module software update approximately two weeks ago from szott ford in holly, michigan, i expected my transmission to run smoothly.six days ago, while pulling through a busy intersection, my vehicle would not leave first gear. Somehow, i avoided being hit from crossing traffic. Shortly after avoiding an accident, the vehicle then switched abruptly from first gear to fifth gear (going around 10 mph).after pulling into a parking lot i turned the car off. When i restarted the car, it started in fifth gear. The car would not go into manual and would not leave fifth gear. At no point during this time did an engine light come on.after switching the car into four-wheel drive everything seemed to be working smoothly again. I immediately took my car into the dealership once again. The dealership has informed me that everything is working properly and since no engine light came on there are no problems to diagnose or fix. Safety recall 19s07 did not fix this vehicles issues. Last night the same thing happened again. It would not leave 1st gear. I put the car in park and the car would sit in second gear then jump to 5th gear. Very dangerous pulling out in front of anything because the car basically stalls in oncoming traffic. Safety recall 19s07 did not work.
Transmission - molded leadframe malfunction on 5.0 motor. The 2011-2012 recall for the molded leadframe malfunction also affects 2013 vehicles such as ours leading to the truck loosing power, stalling out, shifting on it's own from 5th to 1st and the other way leaving the truck a wreck waiting to happen at any time during driving. This risks the lives of the driver, passengers and everyone else on the road. When this happens you must bring the vehicle to a complete stop, shut it off, wait for computer to cycle, then restart. Ford should be expanding the recall to replace this deadly malfunctioning part at their cost. This has happened at least 10 times within 30 days of owning the vehicle which was bought from maxwell ford in austin texas.the last time this happened it was in a parking lot after just starting the truck and backing out of a stall.
While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". I was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. The engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. It was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. The check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. The truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.
My truck has been experiencing hesitation upon acelleration and is making noises and my check engine light was on. I took it to the dealership on february 2, 2016 be fixed and at first it was covered under warranty. I took it back on february 16, 2016 bc i had to have a ford rental per ford. The truck was repairedbut then it wasn't covered per ford and i had to pay over $400 to get it fixed. My check engine light came on again and it had to go back to the dealership but this time it was covered under warranty. I just got my truck back on april 11,2016 and today on april 14, 2016 the light is back on. I am waiting on a call back from the ford dealership to find out what to do next.
I am having trouble with my eco boost because when i start my truck i have a loud rattling sound then my truck loses power and shakes alot like a compression leak
2011 - 2015 phasers and timing chain
Throttle body failed on my pickup while driving. Went into limp mode and engine wouldn't rev up. Had to shut off and restart multiple times in order to make it to the shop. Scanned it and had code p2112 throttle body stuck closed. Replaced throttle body and seems to be ok now.glad i was just putting along when it happened or it could have been a disaster.
Stuttering, loss of power , bad fuel mileage.
There is a recall for 2013 ford f150 's down shifting while driving. I contacted ford corporation and their explanation is. A fix for the issue will not be ready until the second quarter.
Timing chain rattle on ecoboost engine, i believe ford issued a bulletin on it, i feel it should be covered under recall, makes a horrendous noise on startup everytime, and its very expensive to fix.the engine feels as if it is about to fall out on startup its that loud, shakes the whole truck.
Driver side tubo/supercharger coolant leaks
Vehicle was in motion, pulling a trailer and the light came on and then shut down completely. Turned it off then back on and it was fine for 2 blocks then did it again. It took several attempts to get it to the dealership. They informed it is electronic throttle body failure.
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.
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.
Fuse #27 for the fuel pump is burning up on one side.engine stalls intermittently.will not restart for a while after.
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.
While driving on the highway at a rate of 70-75 mph, i noticed by speedometer twitch a few times.i focused on it while driving and noticed the truck downshift to 3rd gear from 6th, and the speedometer dropped to about 45mph on a dime. Another instance i was driving home, and the truck decided to shift from 6th gear down to 1st, after which i quickly shifted into neutral and slowed to a stop on the shoulder. While driving on a dirt road about 40mph my truck then shifted from 5th to 3rd lurched and went back to 5th gear.an odd experience is when my truck, when in a parking lot shifted from 1st gear to 5th(???) i pulled over and placed the vehicle in the manual mode for shifting and drove a few miles.after which i received a wrench symbol and my all of my meters went into a dashed mode.i pulled over and turned off, then turned back on my truck and didn't have anymore issues.i took my truck into the ford dealership and they told me that it was an issue with the wiring in the transmission.we will see if that fixes the issue, however i got a recall notification in the mail for involuntary downshifting which make me think there is another underlying issues, other than the wiring.
Driving @ 35 mph and transmission down shift to 1 on the gauge.truck slowed to almost a complete stop. Pull over and stopped. Shift to 'park', waited a few seconds, shift back to 'drive' and made it home.occurrence was similar to the problems experienced with previous transmission recall.presently, no similar occurrence from 1/31 to present.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle failed to respond with accelerator pedal depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Widely reported- please read carefully! very similar to existing recall*, but not the same. Potentially deadly. Current recall does not address the sudden up-shifts mentioned here.2013 ford f-150mfg defect: molded leadframe assy in 6r80 transmissionsymptoms: intermittent loss of speed signal causes sudden/unexpected slamming upshift from 1st gear to 5th when accelerating from a stop, causing a complete and unexpected loss of all acceleration. Indications: 5th gear suddenly indicated on display, dashes replace numbers on speed/mileage related displays (mpg, odometer). Speedometer may read 0, airbag symbol pops on, large orange wrench symbol may briefly appear. Pressing on accelerator does not cause downshift. Motor may stall. Remains in 5th gear without some other corrective action. Turning engine off and back on will reset the computer, and vehicle operates normally until next occurrence. Dangers: this could be fatal when pulling out into oncoming traffic, both from the side (pulling out in front of oncoming traffic from side street) or from rear (sudden, unexpected loss of speed/ no brake lights). Ford cannot fix this by re-programming the vehicle to ignore the faulty sensor any more than you can ignore an oncoming cement truck or train.repair is approximately $800. If not recalled, owners may try to live with the risks or trade to an unknowing person, endangering lives of others.*this defective part is also the root cause of ford recall #19s07, involving sudden violent down-shifts (not upshifts). Ford is avoiding the problem by re-programming the ecu to ignore the intermittent speed signals, allowing the transmission to fail more gracefully, defects to be repaired at owner's expense. This approach will not work for the up-shift problem. The defective part should be immediately replaced at ford's expense to correct both problems.
Basically the truck will not start.it has plenty of power and doesn't seem to be electrical.when starting the truck i hear the starter running for ~5 seconds but the engine never fires off.on my 4th or 5th repair after having it towed back to the dealership.each time they try replacing the fuel pump only for it to work briefly.twice it started for them at the dealership after it had been towed.either they don't know what the problem is or the work they do fuel pump temporarily fixes the real issue. This cycle has repeated for 4-5 times for a vehicle with less than 30k miles. First instance was in february 2013.last 3 instances have been in the last 3 months. I have never seen a problem while driving but if its a fuel pump issue as they keep claiming then the issue could arise at any time.at this point i don't trust nor feel safe driving this vehicle.oh i should mention that this last tow truck driver towed 9 other ford-f150 this week that had the same symptoms.
The ecoboost engine looses power on take off in rainy weather. I has happened six times. The most recent was this morning 04/07/14. The problem occurs when the truck is taking off from a stop, such as traffic light or stop sign. The main problem seems to be the rain. After driving in rainy weather for a prolonged period of time the truck will not take off from a dead stop. The engine looses power and shakes violently. This morning while taking me daughter to school we pulled into traffic and tried to get up to speed. The engine failed and we had to pull to the side of the road. This has become a safety issue. It was not raining this morning but i did drive for several hours in the rain yesterday. I have contacted the dealer and they tell me my tuck already has the fix from ford.
Driving on interstate at roughly 70 mph with cruise control engaged, truck lost power and started to coast.speedometer swept to 0 indicated speed, tachometer indicated engine at idle speed, around 1000 rpm, while coasting from 70 mph slowing to roughly 40 mph.vehicle regained powered drive briefly then again lost power and coasted.after resuming coasting, the back tires then breifly locked up, vehicle shuddered, then resumed coasting.extremely dangerous as vehicle being driven in traffic on interstate and became nearly uncontrollable.explanation from dealer service department was that the wiring harness from transmission to ecu passes through firewall through a grommet that is known to fail.the wiring chafes and causes a short and the transmission to malfunction.apparently a tsb is issued for repair at customer's expense per dealer but i have not been able to find it.this appears to be a proverbial ticking timebomb for f150 owners and should absolutely be subject to a recall.
Since new if traveling highway speed of 70 and i accelerate to pass the engine stalls while in the passing mode and there is no power resulting in un able to pass and engine light flashes during this happening. Not safe to pass at high highway speeds . At 27000 this is still happening.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and a clicking sound was heard in the engine compartment. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
2013ford f-150 with 142k miles began rattling upon start up. Vehicle has always had the oil changed per schedule and has always used full synthetic mobil 1 oil. Dealership indicated that this is a common problem with the 3.5's even on well taken care of vehicles. Repair was estimated at 3200.00 plus tax to replace chain. F-150 was taken in and w hen the dealership opened the engine they indicated that it was in pristine condition inside and no signs of sludge or indicators that engine wasn't taken care of. Dealership also indicated that there is a tsb for these engines.
I was merging onto the highway while it was raining.in attempting to accelerate to merge in front of a semi my vehicle stated shuttering violently and lost power.i could not get past 40mph.the check engine light was flashing.this was after the truck had been running for two hours.the semi almost rear ended me as i got off the road as soon as possible.i shut the truck off and restarted the engine and it ran fine after that.i took the truck back to my dealer the next day and they could find nothing wrong, not even an error code.the truck has a ford 6 cylinder eco boost engine.
Timing chain needs replacement (per hiller ford) code came on
The vehicle has two "types" of problem that may be related.in some cases, the truck drops down into 1st gear regardless of the speed.this has happened three times since i picked up the truck following the attempted recall repair, but none of these incidences of dropping into 1st gear caused error codes to pop up.in another "type" of incident,the speedometer drops to zero even while in motion, and the vehicle stays in 3rd gear no matter the speed (including when not in motion, even after shifting into park and back to drive, the vehicle automatically jumps to 3rd gear before i even start to move).during this second type of incident, the airbag light came on, as did the wrench/check engine light.this second type of incident triggered many error codes:u0401:68-48b00a0:68-08u0401:00-08p0722:00-68u0401:86-08u0401:00-08u0401:68-08b1083:07-08u0423:00-28
Had been driving in rain all day. Pulled out to pass on two lane highway and check engine light started flashing. Engine started sputtering and stopped accelerating. Had to pull back behind vehicle i was trying to pass. Dealer said i had same problem other ecoboost owners were having and replaced intercooler. It did not fix problem as it has happened 3 more times. Dealer said ford was "working on a solution". I have to wait for recall and just be aware that problem could occur if conditions are right.
2013 f150 eco boost problem with approximately 2781 miles drove thru the town albert lea, mn at about 1100 hours on 5/28/13 (cst) at about 30 mph.entered the on ramp (cloverleaf style ramp) to i-35 southbound.attempted to accelerate to 60 mph due to short on ramp/merge lane. Engine lost power (approx. 80%???) then went into a shaking/shuttering mode. Engine warning light flashed intermittently. Attempted to merge with several semi's on i-35 (the reason for quick acceleration plus the sort merge lane).backed off on the gas pedal when engine power decreased and in approximately 20 seconds the engine recovered and never hesitated again. The weather temperature was approx. 60 degrees f with a heavy mist and moderate fog. The bottom line: if any one of the truckers had hicupped or had been distracted during our terrifying merge we would be writing this info from a hospital bed (or not writing from a morgue). Dealer ran diagnostic with no indications of any failure in spite of engine warning flashing during power loss or shaking (death rattle???). Date of manufacture appears to be december 2012.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle would also drive abnormally when reaching speeds over 60 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air compressor had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, details of the diagnosis could not be provided. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for repairs related to the failure and it was informed each time that the brakes and rotors had prematurely deteriorated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150 with eco boost. The contact stated that the vehicle started to switch gears without warning and jerk violently. The contact mentioned that when the failure occurred, the check engine light illuminated and the gauges on the instrument panel stopped working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 49,000.
My 2013 f150 eco boost started cutting out while driving home, the wrench illuminated then the check engine as the engine completely shut down. If i would of been on the freeway or pulling something i would've been dead.after coasting off the road. I was able to get it to restart, but the check engine light stayed on and was cutting out. I only had to go 2 miles to get home. I took it to the ford dealership due to the mileage it wasn't covered, but it was the throttle body that had to be replaced. After doing some research ford had recalled this on a few vehicles, but not this one yet. It is very dangerous to have it just shut the engine off on you. If you're in traffic or pulling there would be a severe problem. I'm still concerned when i pull. I hope that ford recalls this!!!
While driving on the highway in rainy conditions, went to accelerate and the truck engine hesitated then shuttered and nearly shut down. The check engine illuminated and this continued for approximately a minute. This has occurred on four different situations all at 70-80 mph while trying to pass. In one situation, it nearly caused an accident. Also having the ticking and severe knocking during engine start first time in the morning or after cold soaking. Ford has refused to fix the issues on their own because the truck has 63,000 miles.
I was traveling on the highway behind a truck towing a big camper. When i got a chance to try and pass him i got over to go around him and went to accelerate and my truck lost all power (check engine light started flashing) and i had to apply brake hard to slow back down to get back behind the truck. Luckily there was not anyone behind me so i was able to get back over.i had to pull over and set and the check engine light finally went out and truck started running fine. I took my truck into ford and they say nothing is wrong with it. This is a 2013 f150 with the ecoboost3.5 engine with less than 11k miles. I'm afraid to even drive it now.
Upon accelerating from a stop 4or 5 loud knocking sounds were heard and felt, and engine power loss was experienced. I let off throttle to reduce knocking sound,which sounded liketurbo wastegate possibly, and engine shook and had reduced power for several miles. Temperature outside was warm and dry. I had been driving vehicle for over an hour before problem. It has had reduced power and minor shaking before,but nothing like this. Fortunately no other vehicles were coming. I do notice wastegate popping off on short,steep hills more lately. I have the ecoboost engine. Have not been to dealer yet, but have appt soon.
T-connector (base part #8566) from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford indicates national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available.i was told i was #17 on the waiting list at repair shop for the same piece due to the number of device failures due to recent cold temperatures in the ohio valley.the vehicle was stationary for four days when i noticed a large puddle under the vehicle.upon inspection, i found the coolant reservoir was empty and coolant draining all down the serpentine belt and pulleys.mechanic verified cracked t- connector.due to the number of cracked t-connectors and a national backorder, i feel there is a material deficiency in the t-connector and should be recalled for replacement.i've been told my vehicle is out of service for an undetermined amount of time.with a snow storm looming, this is unacceptable!
While attempting to pass a semi truck after driving a constant speed of 65 in arizonas humid monsoon season, under hard acceleration my f150 had a sudden loss of power along with a very strange shudder and loud revving sound. After i let off the accelerator and pulled behind the semi i was attempting to pass (due to on coming traffic), the truck ran normal. The dealership was unable duplicate the issue. The conditions were different the day of test drive and the truck was not driven at highway speeds for nearly as long. This could be a very serious issue that needs resolved immediately.
My ford f150 xlt, 4x4 stalls and almost shuts down at times.the truck is brand new.this truck has the ecoboost v6 engine.the conditions were that the road was wet.unhappy because i paid a tremendous amount of money for this vehicle.
My f150 stalls in traffic the engine light comes on and wench light comes on then engine lose power and have to stop and turn engine off and restart. Had it at dealer they told me the plugs needed replaced they did it but didn,t help still doing the same thing cost me 475.00 dollars, does all these things in motion still not fixed parked right now afraid to drive it
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 noticeda 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 havingthe 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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the wheels seized and the vehicle hesitated. As the vehicle slid, the transmission gear downshifted and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contacted swerved off the road and was able to brake. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the contact was able to drive home safely. The contact also stated that the check engine indicator remained illuminated for an entire weekend. The vehicle was taken to perry ford national city (2050 national city blvd, national city, ca 91950, (619) 477-2711) where it was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 98,000.
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.
I get the engine code p0301 which is an engine misfire when driving in all driving conditions and streets and highways.the truck engine stumbles and has reduced power when you try to accelerate.this is a very unsafe condition especially when i try to pull a cargo trailer.
2013 ford f-150 3.5 ecoboost on multiple occasions has loss of power on take-off when making left hand turns. This loss of power seems more like a long delay in poer application to the wheels, long enough that when making left hand turns in traffic becomes dangerous and i have been in two near misses in these stall situations. The vehicle comes to life suddenly with a boost of full power literally scaring you when it finally does decide to go after a 1-3 second delay, and oftentimes even after letting off of the accelerator you still get the power surge and have to mash the brakes. I have learned to keep a foot on the brake and mange the delay, just hope i don't get in a tight spot where i need to have sudden power from a stop.
I was driving on snow packed roads with the "auto 4x4" engaged, about 60mph, the orange "mechanical wrench" appeared on the dashboard and my vehicle lost all power. Electric still on, i had no mobility. I stopped, placed transmission in park and restarted vehicle without further incident. My dealer has not seen truck as of this writing, as the earliest appointment will be 5 days from now.
I experienced a condition noted in ford tsb: asi-32166 "some vehicles, with turbochared gasoline direct injection engines, will exhibit flashing malfunction indicator lamp, an intermittent stumble and/or misfire during hard acceleration during extreme humid or damp conditions."while driving at a relatively steady 55-60 mph (on a rainy afternoon), i pushed the accelerator down in an effort to overtake a vehicle.immediately, the "check engine" light began flashing, the truck began to shimmy, and i started to lose power.unable to accelerate any more, i promptly exited the interstate, parked, shut off my vehicle in an effort to allow it to "reset".when i restarted the vehicle, the check engine light was off and the truck ran fine.i was (thankfully) unable to replicate the scenario on the remainder of my drive home.
Three times over a 2 year period i have started to pass slow moving vehicles on two lane highways and the engine started to die and the vehicle engine light started flashing.
As i tried to accelerate to pass a vehicle the motor in my truck started to miss, the check engine light flashed on and off and i was not able to accelerate. The motor proceeded to idle even though i was pushing in the gas pedal. After about 15 seconds of no response to the gas pedal being pushed the entire truck started shaking as though it was about to fall apart. Another 30 seconds later and everything went back to normal.this occurred in a 2013 f-150 with the ecoboost motor.
I was driving from milwaukee to des moines on sunday sept 15th, 2013, and when i went to pass another driver in dubuque that pulled in front of me the truck lost power and failed to accelerate as i anticipated.it was raining off and on throughout the trip, temp was 55deg, and i had been on cruise control for the majority of the time before this happened.basically, i went to change lanes and pushed the accelerator pedal and instead of gaining speed quickly i received no acceleration causing the cars behind me to have to brake quickly.during this time the check engine light was flashing indicating a mis-fire was occurring at which point i knew what was happening and got off the highway and the mis-fires ceased and after a brief stop i was able to continue my drive.my truck was built on 1/15/2013 and has all the updates to the intercooler ford claims addressed the issue.the issue is definitely not fixed and despite fords claim in their response to the nhtsa investigation this is a safety issue.ford also claims in their response to the nhtsa investigation that many complaints are just against the dealers and not for safety concerns so let me be perfectly clear here this is a safety complaint!
Hesitation stumbles erratic acceleration. Nothing happens when stepping on accelerator then suddenly takes off.
While driving at 70mph noticed my truck had down shifted into 5th gear, i slowed to pull over and noted the airbag light was on, the wrench indicator and speedometer was at zero. My truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear at approximately 25-30 mph. I was able to stop safely at the shoulder and turned the ignition off and restarted. My truck started normally. I went to ford huntington beach and described the situation. After evaluating dealer stated trans fluid full, poss lead frame damage and valves getting stuck. $1600!i informed the dealer of the pending recall for the transmission on this vehicle and was informed that it only covered a software upgrade. Damage caused by a known fault should be covered by the manufacturer.
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.
Had to buy a new engine! the truck started running rough on the drive home from work on friday, april 6. On saturday morning, april 7, i took it to get gas. After filling my tank, the truck would not start back up. I had to have it towed from the gas station. Towed it to keller ford, grand rapids, mi. Codes p0011, p0016, p0017, p0019, p0021, p0172, p0175, p0299, p0313, p0365, p0369, p0390, p0394, p0430 and p052c. The technician also performed a power balance test and a compression test, it was determined half the engine had zero compression and the other half had lowered compression. All of these results indicated the truck needed a full engine replacement. $7,650 for the new engine. A vehicle with 80,000 miles and only 5 years old should not need a new engine. A mechanic told us this is a problem and he replaces an engine on these ford trucks at least a few times a month. We had the engine replaced at sulforce automotive, grandville, mi
Date 11/9/2018vehicle: ford f150 2013driver: experiencedmiles: 148,653date of incident: 11/1/2018location: south bound on i-275 in southeast, miroad condition: drydriver was on the highway going 73 mph in the left lane passing a semi when the vehicle shifted from 6th gear instantly into 1st gear. Causing the vehicles rear end to lock up and throw the vehicle sideways. Driver was facing the side of the tractor trailer head on now while the rear end was bouncing off of the rumple strips. The motor was well over 6800 rpms causing the tac to bounce between 6500 and 7000rpm. Not only did this put a lot of stress on the motor and turbo, this also shocked all of the driveline components. A shift like this is commonly referred to as a "money shift" because it destroys an entire driveline as well as the motor. Luckily the vehicles driveline was still intact after this harsh downshift and the driver was able to throw the truck into manual mod shift the truck back up to 5th gear and counter steer 2-3 times to correct from the tail end kicking out. The driver believes that an average driver would have died in this same situation. The driver feels lucky to be alive after experiencing this. After the driver pulled the truck into the nearest ford dealer and explained what happened they told the driver that they have not heard of this problem before and that they wouldn't be able to look at the vehicle for at least a week. The drive then called ford to report the issue and on three separate calls on 11/1/2018 ford told the driver that they will not cover the problem, because it's not a re-call. The driver would greatly appreciate it if the nhtsa can open an investigating into the 2013+ models of the f150's transmission suddenly shifting from 6th to 1st gear. This is a very deadly malfunction especially with icy roads just around the corner in mi.
Upon entering freeway merging traffic i had a hard acceleration .my truck stumbled would not go any faster then 30 mph by then the semi was on my rear causing a serious problem had to pull off to the shoulder .waited a few minutes and the problem seam to go away. This has occurred numerous times.
We have taken this vehicle numerous times to fix the transmission and motor (eco boost 6-cylinder)the transmission does not shift smoothly, the vehicle lurches and has a lack of power/acceleration.the vehicle is in motion and experiences these problems both in city and highway driving.the nhtsa has hundreds of complaint and ford has received over 4000.the last time we took it to the dealer their explanation was:"cannot duplicate customer's complaint"this platform is faulty and somehow ford has been able to keep it off the radar.apparently ford does not know how to fix it and continues to deny that there is a problem.
Vehicle defect in the ecoboost engine causes coolant to leak into the cylinders, causing the potential for engine fires and failure, misfires, collision risk, and costly repairs.
Vehicle lost power when trying to pass another vehicle. Note i was in a 75 mph area trying to pass a vehicle that had trash flying off truck.in any case when i punched the accelerator the vehicle did a nose dive as it lost power. It took about 2 seconds for the vehicle to restore to normal operation.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds, the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration attempts as the check engine warning light illuminated intermittently. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle erroneously decelerated when the accelerator pedal was being depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 3,400.
The 4x4 tried to turn on while the vehicle is running by it self.
On three occasion over the past 12 months while driving our vehicle had a complete loss of throttle response.causing the vehicle to slow while in traffic causing vehicles behind to swerve to avoid a collision.coasting to the side of the road a blu wrench icon was lit up on the dashboard.the vehicles ignition was turned off then the motor was restarted with no difficulty.the wrench icon went off and vehicle ran appropriately.
While driving my 2013 ford f150 with ecoboost, the engine cuts out and i lose power.the wrench symbol comes on.the truck stays running but you can't accelerate.the truck starts to vibrate.it's extremely dangerous because there's no warning and no pattern as to when it happens.it happens at both slow and fast speeds. You have to pull over and turn off the engine.then when you restart it, it works again.there's no pattern as to how long it will work.sometimes it cuts out immediately and sometimes weeks later.i've taken it to the closest ford dealer twice.once they replaced the throttle body.that proved to be a temporary fix because it did it again a few months later.the next time they reset the pcm.that only worked for a few weeks.i have a third appointment coming up.but i have no confidence they have any idea what the problem is or how to fix it.they will just keep trying different things until they find the issue.it's obviously an engine manufacturer issue and a recall should be issued immediately.this truck is extremely unsafe to drive.i am a stay at home dad and i transport my kids in this truck.we were on the highway in traffic when it stalled 6 times.three of those 6 times we were almost hit.i believe ford will take no responsibility for this mess until someone actually dies in an accident.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled as nd the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 8,000 and the current mileage was 8,100.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brakes made a grinding sound, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and required excessive force, and the vehicle took longer to stop. In addition, the remote start and air conditioning did not function properly, and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The brakes were repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,280.
Interstate, night, raining went to pass vehicle and accelerated when engine stumbled, shuttered violently, and loss power. Engine malfunction light illuminated had to pull over on side of highway due to loss of power.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure immediately recurred. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
My vehicle recently died on the incline of a bridge with no shoulder putting me in a very dangerous position. It turns out that fuse 27 in my vehicles fuse box melted, not blown, but physically melted disabling the fuel pump. Tsb 15-0137 addresses this issue bit i believe iy should be elevated to a recall.
Driving down the road going about 45mph and lost power to gas wouldn't go over 30mph tool light came on then and number 1 warning light came on. Let it sit for half a hour , turn back on and it must have reset it self p. Drove back home which is 20 miles away and it did it again. I bought this truck brand new it only has 60k miles on it.
Just bought this truck for a great deal of money. This has happened several times, with both my wife and i. Driving at low and higher speeds trying to merge or pass another vehicle. As we apply the accelerator to pass or merge there is a lose of power and the truck almost stalls. We have almost been in 6 accidents because of this issue. I took my truck back to phil long of colorado springs, co. And was told i was lying and they have not had any other complaints and they could look at it for $150.00 as my truck is brand new and still under warranty, im not happy i cant drive my truck safely and feel like ford has let me down. Don't seem to be getting any post sale customer service. Please help.
Sporadic shifting. Transmission and/or oil pressure causes the truck to completly shut down on me when driving down the highway.
I was driving my new 2013 f150 ecoboost in the rain and i tried to pull to the left to pass a slower car on the highway. As i went to give it gas, about 90% throttle, the truck felt like it hit a brick wall, stuttered and started shaking. The check engine light came on and i was unable to drive the car about55 mph. If i tried to drive past that it would just shake. The truck had no power. I drove it like this for about five minutes and then the check engine light went off and everything was ok. On the way back about a week later, once again in the rain, the same thing happened. Since then i have tried to duplicate this in dry conditions and the truck performs perfect. Only when it is wet outside does this problem happen.
Purchased new 2013 ford eco pickup. It was advertised and sold to be a high efficient fuel economical vehicle. First time temperatures dropped below 30 degrees f, my fuel mileage drastically dropped. After discussion with dealership, they seemed to be aware of the affect cold air had on its fuel mileage. Prior to cold weather i was experiencing 18 to 24 mpg. As soon as cold weather arrived i was experiencing 12 to 14 mpg. This type of mileage is consistent all through the winter until late spring. Seems the 24 mpg is unachievable anymore. Dealership briefly explained the boosters work best in warm weather. This information was not offered during the purchase process. I even showed them a magazine article written on how fords eco boost had been experiencing lower than advertised mpg. The salesman acknowledged the article and said they had corrected the problem. I was told during a maintenance process, that it had to have 12,000 miles before they could test it for lack of mpg. I had it inspected at 11,800 miles and they claim there is nothing they can do.my advice to anyone purchasing a 150 eco boost expecting good to above average mpg, it will not happen.
The upper radiator hose a leakafter talking to a number auto parts dealersand ford dealers there is backlog for that itemuntil february
I was driving 65 mph on the right hand side of a two lane highway. In order to pass a car that was going at a reduced speed i moved into the left hand lane and began to accelerate. Immediately, as i accelerated the engine misfired and then i lost engine power. I had to brake and get back into the right hand lane so i would not cause an issue with oncoming traffic behind me. The check engine light immediately started flashing and i pulled over. It was a dangerous situation to lose power at high speeds and the outcome could have been much worse. I was glad i did not have too much traffic behind me and the cars were able to navigate around me as i decelerated due to the engine misfiring. Scary situation to be in and disheartening after buying this truck brand new and only having 10,000 miles on it. Ford needs to do something.
When first accelerating early in the morning the truck accelerates suddenly when 1st taking off. This really became a problem when someone stepped in front of me, the truck took off and then i had to stop suddenly. I have reported to ford and taken it in twice, but they insist no one has had this problem. The motor's rpm fluctuates about 200-300, then settles down.the visibility has been a problem since day one. Ford replaced the wiper blades, but the problem is still there. I have back to the dealer 3 times and all they say is "we can duplicate the problem".
I was driving at 48-50- mph when i decided to pass a cement truck that was going below the speed limit. As i pulled out to pass the truck everything seemed fine. When i got alongside the cement truck my truck started to hesitateand misfire. The engine light started flashing. I was stuck from going back as another car was behind me,also trying to pass the slow truck. I barely made it past the cement truck as an oncoming vehicle had to swerve into the shoulder to miss me and the vehicle behind me. When i returned home i looked up ecoboost problems on the internet and found numerous other people with the same problem. Thankfully no one was injured or killed today, i believe the it will only be a matter of time before there is a fatality if there hasn't been one already.
Loss of power under acceleration while driving on i 95, attempting a lane change when power dropped, almost hit by a tractor trailer, pulled over finally and sat for 15 minutes then coasted to my destination. No engine warnings or lights/faults registered. Happened on two more occasions since then. The first time, i took it to my dealer service department and they said they could find nothing wrong. My truck had all the updates they said.the second and third times were on back to back days. All occurrences were during rain driving.the servicing dealer now says there is tsb on the intercooler and they will fix it.
This is the 3rd time that this new f-150 truckengine suddenly hascut off. I was at the ford dealership in belmont, n.c on monday june 17,2013. They said they could not find anything wrong. They then said they put in a new update code. I now have only drove about another 50 miles since monday. It cut off again while i was driving about 30 mph on a busy charlotte, nc street. I thought my nuckles were going to part since i had to control the vehicle and not cause an accident. I am schedule to take in back to keith hawthorne ford on tuesday, june 25,2013--there phone number 704-825-5186-service person- will
Pickup has a ticking noise coming from engine compartment after engine reaches operating temp.notified ford about issue and was advised to take to dealership. Took to dealership as advised dealership stated this was normal for a 5.0 liter engine. Notified ford after taking to dealership they have not responded back.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated thatthe vehicle made an abnormal rattling noise, which was a distraction. The vehicle was driven to ford lincoln of franklin (1129 murfreesboro rd, franklin, tn 37064, (615) 800-6500) where it was diagnosed that new cam phasers and a timing chain kit needed to be installed. The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired today. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and transferred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Driving at normal speeds, my truck loses power and goes into "limp mode" and the wrench icon appears on my dash. This has happened 3 times in the last 150 miles of driving. This could be deadly to me and my family!!! it has also happened a number of time previously as well. Sometimes at 55 mph, sometimes at 40 mph. From my research, this is a known problem to ford and i don't want to be victim due to this causing an accident. I am now scared for my safety driving this truck!!!
2013- ford f150 ecoboost: i was driving along at highway 100km/hour highways speed. I came upon a car going 70km/hr. It was safe to pass, and as i stepped on the gas to accelerate, my truck lost complete power and decelerated to about 40 km/hr, eventually slowing right down. I tried frantically to push the gas, as there were two semi trucks behind me trying to pass at the same time as me. The trucks both ended up having to pass me unsafely on the shoulder to the left of me, into oncoming traffic. I was able to glide over back to the lane i was in, and eventually rode the shoulder. I continually tried to get power to the vehicle. My engine light was flashing. Eventually after several attempts, my truck did "grab" and shoot forward. The engine light then went off, and for the remainder of my drive, the truck was fine. Again, two days later, the truck did the same thing, but at slower speeds in town. As i read into the issue, i found that this is a "common" problem???? my situation too was during rainy/wet weather, long distance highways the first time, and wet weather, in town, the second time. This is a severely dangerous issue. I too brought my truck to the shop and was told that this issue was being investigated and that ford had solution to try. What boggles my mind is that there are "solution" to try, which means this problem was known, yet when i bought the truck the dealership did not make one single mention, even when i asked if they had heard of any issues with the ecoboost system! the shop just updated the computer, an a day later, it happen again! :)i'm no longer driving my truck on the highway. Not sure who to contact to return my truck. I don't even want it anymore!
The fuel management system blew the fuse.i looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring.they do not simply replace the mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse.when i explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now i have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running.the service manager also told me i was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect.this has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design.the vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150.the contact was driving 35 mph when the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle began to shake violently and then stalled. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where a diagnostic was performed.the contact was informed that the cold air cooler was defective however, a remedy was not available for the defect. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 7500.
The engine splash shield has come loose three times in about a year.this is very large component under the engine.the dealership indicated there are a lot of f-150's with this issue, that snow will pull the shield down.they also asked who changed the oil - i believe the shield needs to be removed to change the oil.the dealership indicated the problem is not covered by ford or the warranty.if the shield comes loose it creates a clear hazard for cars behind the truck.the shield has come loose after an oil change (by the dealership), in the snow, and one other time.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed with excessive force, the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. Mahwah ford (55 franklin turnpike, mahwah, nj) diagnosed that the engine misfired and recommended a cylinder be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 57,652.

This is for an aftermarket coil pakmanufacture by well vehicle electronics, springfield mo. The pak shorted caught on fire, and damaged by truck (f150) ecu costing me over $1300.00 to repair. I have sent the coil pak backto the manufacture but their analysis was it was damaged by the ignition. These coil packs are the ignition, the only thing from the truck is the 12 volts, the the pulse to fire it. I'm filling this report to you as i'm seeking damages to their defected coil. That overheated, causing the coil wire to short and catch fire. I have the sparkplug and it was checked and it is not shorted.
Radiator fan turns on after approximately 5 minutes of vehicle running and continues to run until the vehicle is turned off. This started at approximately 60k miles. The fan turns on regardless of temperature outside the vehicle. It also turns on regardless the transmission temperature. The only consistent piece is the timing. The truck can be in motion or stationary.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the engine began to hesitate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that water had entered the turbo booster and but they could not provide a remedy. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100. The vin was unavailable.
In jan 2017 an electronic throttle body failure caused vehicle to 'stall' and enter "limp home" mode while traveling at highway speed of 65mph.the vehicle sputtered, shuttered & stumbled into "limp home" mode with the wrench symbol and check engine lights displayed on the instrument panel. Dealer replaced the electronic throttle body in jan 2017. The vehicle started exhibiting similar but less severe problems (sputter & stumble/hesitation) in july 2017, and is increasing in frequency and severity through now. Called the dealer service department to have it diagnosed and they will not acknowledge that this is a known or systemic problem, but it impacts drivability and safety, especially when towing a trailer.
Timing chain stretch due to design flaw. $3200 quote from ford for a fix. Timing chain rattle on startup
Engine has grinding noise for 2-3 seconds on daily initial startup and when engine is cold after sitting several hours.dealer performed engine diagnostic and diagnosed the timing chain issue.for timing chain issues, this requires the replacement of timing chain and phasers.dealer est cost to fix = $4000+.this has been a reported issue for this engine over the last 3+ years.ford has refused to address on a recall, or refund customers who have already incurred this expense.
Ford recall number 19s07. 3.5 l engine. Vehicle in motion. City street and highway speeds. Problem. Unintended downshift into first gear causing abrupt wheel speed reduction. No available remedy from ford motor company.
Ford f-150 3.5 v6 ecoboost stalls out at excessive speeds. While trying to overtake another vehicle the truck misfires because of the intercooler cools the air to cold to evaporate the condensation and hits cylinder four which cases it to misfire which then cause the engine to stall. Ford knows about these problems but does not notify the customer about the potential of it happening to people purchasing the vehicle. This is a major safety issues!
My 2013 f150 platinum died on me while driving, and would not start back up. I had it diagnosed by david stanley ford in midwest city and found out that i needed to have a fuse relocation kit put in to fix my engine failure. I researched what that was, and found out that the factory installed mini fuse running the fuel pump cannot handle the amount of current going through it, and overtime it melts the fuse box itself, instead of blowing the fuse, which causes complete engine failure. It is such a commonly known issue that ford has even issued a tsb explaining how to fix and install this problem with the above mentioned kit. Why i am complaining is because this issue that causes dangerous engine failure while driving and which leaves the owner stranded, is not a recall when even ford knows that it is a factory installed malfunction. It is 100% a safety issue for not only those driving 2009-2014 ford vehicles where this issue has been known to occur, but also for everyone else on the road when your ford vehicle dies while driving down the road or highway.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked on a down hill driveway, it began to roll backwards. The gear was shifted into park, but the parking brake was not applied. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. On a different occasion, while driving 50 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle began to shake forcefully. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to exceed 50 mph. The contact was able to park on the side of the road for thirty minutes before restarting the vehicle and continuing to drive with no failure. The contact opened the hood and noticed that the radiator was covered in oil. The vehicle was taken to rod baker ford sales inc. (located at 16101 s lincoln hwy, plainfield, il 60586, (815) 436-5681), but was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,219.
Went to pass on highway in my 2013 f150 with a 6.2l engine, and the throttle stuck wide open causing me to accelerate up to 80+ mph. It did not decelerate for about 1 min. I had to avoid hitting other vehicles.
Vehicle will not start when parked on a decline of approximately 8% and fuel level below 1/4 of tank or less than 100 miles on fuel warning indicator.low fuel warning light comes on and vehicle will not start until on level ground.i am not comfortable traveling off-road or in mountains if fuel level is below 1/4 tank as this issue may cause vehicle to stall resulting in an accident or being stranded.
After driving for several hours on the interstate we had stopped to re-fuel. Upon re-entry onto the interstate the truck failed to accelerate, the check engine light came on, the truck was shaking it took 30-40 seconds before normal operation resumed.this is the 3rd time this has happened, twice on of which were on the interstate while attempting to merge into traffic or pass vehicles. All three times the conditions have been high humidity,rain & traveling at a relatively constant speed for an extended period of time.
I was driving to virginia beach, va from beaufort sc on interstate 95.i was pouring rain, night, and lots vehicles (around).i had driven about 200 miles in the rain when it occurred.i was in the process of trying to pass a truck in the passing lane when the truck just started shaking and felt like it was slowing down.i let off the accelerator and the shaking stopped.then proceeded to try it again and the same thing happened again started shaking and losing power again.i then found a rest stop to rest and think about what just happened.while leaving the rest stop accelerating up to speed it happened again.i finished my trip to virginia beach, va driving below the speed limit.note:was using regular at the time of incident. To date: i have not driven the vehicle in heavy rain or the vehicle has not been to ford for service, and currently has 4,500 miles.i have not had shaking since event back on nov 23, but i have noticed on damp days the vehicle seems not to accelerate properly, feels like it hesitates and then will surge like it just received a boost of fuel.currently driving with premium gas.
Today my wife was driving my truck with our two kids down interstate i79 at 70 miles per hour and the truck shifted itself too first gear locked up the rear tires and about made them wreck. I had too leave my job to get them off the side of the road and drive my truck back too work this is not only a issue but it could get someone seriously hurt
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the front end of the vehicle shook and vibrated and the rear end of the vehicle became unstable and swayed from side to side. The vehicle was taken to werner hyundai in tallahassee, fl where it was diagnosed that the leaf springs were faulty and needed to be replaced. The parts were not available and the vehicle was not repaired. Later, while the vehicle was parked, a loud air pressure type noise was heard under the hood. The contact discovered oil had leaked from the engine. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, but no failures related to an oil leak were found. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 92,000.

Not getting sticker mpg; took vehicle back and ford milham dealership in easton pa off rt 33 said " there is nothing we can do about it" power steering rack also malfunctioned at 7,000 miles.dealership manager agreed there is an issue with the vehicle. I dropped the vehicle off on a wednesday. Thursday night they called and stated everything checked out and "ford says it's within range". I was also told i will receive a survey online - i never received the email to communicate my dissatisfaction with the vehicle and the dealership. Vehicle now has 10,000 miles and now i get 16 mpg on highway (no city driving).
"takata recall" my ford f150 truck 2013 was purchased in 2014 brand new. In 2017 january i had the sparks plugs changed and now again in april 2017 my mechanic has said that the sparks plug needs to be changed. I believe and gathering from what my mechanics is saying there is a problem with the coil? which is why the sparks plug in black for the second time. This all started from a problem with the brakes the tried flushing the breaks and same thing than they looked into the engine and changed the sparks plug (jan) now in april same issue. Need help this is costing me money.

Truck went into limp mode in traffic and almost had a wreck before i could get off freeway.
During acceleration to highway speed during rainy weather my truck exhibited a power loss. The check engine light started to flash and the engine looses power and the vehicle decelerated. This has occurred 2 times since i have owned this vehicle (since december 2013). I have the truck in the shop now for another issue and have informed the dealer of the incidents but have not heard back from them.
While attempting to pass a car on a relatively busy 2 lane highway on sat aug 13 2016, the engine light came on and the truck lost power and speed. I was unable to continue passing when this ocurred. Another vehicle coming from the other direction was closing in fast, and the car i was passing (was just up by the front side of it) was beginning to pass me now. I know they didn't know what was happening with me or my vehicle. I ended up letting off the gas peddle and ducked in behind the car i was passing. It was only seconds when the vehicle coming from the opposite direction went by. Very scary for me and my wife as it could have been a disaster for all involved. This is actually the second time this happened. The first time was just accelerating, and posed no threat or endangerment. My son had the same thing happen to is (2011 fx4 ecoboost) and was told by a dealer that he may have gotten water in the fuel. I don't agree with the statement. If no one has been injured or killed yet, i feel it will happen, because our incident was close enough for me to be writing this to you.
On april 14, 2018 i was driving my 2013 f-150 on the highway approximately 70mph in the rain when the back wheels suddenly locked up and i abruptly began stopping and i lost control, fishtailing to the left and right (almost to a spin), barely missing vehicles around me and the wall to the left.the car behind me somehow veered around and missed me too.as this was happening the truck was making a loud noise as it automatically slowed down.i somehow made it to the side of the road where i parked and shut the truck off and tried to settle down and gain my composure (...it was scary, i thought i was going to die from this incident!).i restarted the truck and slowly began drive.it seemed to drive ok so i decided to take the truck to the dealer for service. As i was driving cautiously, well below the speed limit on a 40mph road the engine then shut down and i could see a screen appear with "low oil pressure".i glided to a parking lot and had my truck towed to the dealer where i purchased the truck (suburban ford of waterford michigan).the dealer said there was a knock in the engine and said it threw a rod.they said the engine failure was the result of the wheels locking up.i researched and found the exact same issue on 2013 f-150's with the transmission automatically downshifting to a low gear causing the rear wheels to lock up.the dealer said they were aware of this and said there is a recall for this on 2011 and 2012 f-150's for this but no recall presently active on the 2013 f-150.i purchased a full warranty for the truck when new but the truck is just out of warranty at 110k miles. The dealer said they could provide a refurbished engine for $10,000. I've been going back and forth with ford and the dealer at this point. This is a very dangerous life threatening issue.see:http://autoweek.com/article/recalls/fords-downshifting-recall-may-expand
I was on my way home from visiting family and while passing a vehicle on route 113 in maryland my truck suddenly lost power and the engine began shuddering while attempting to accelerate.the engine had reduced power and continued shuddering until i stopped trying to accelerate.luckily, there were no other vehicles approaching in the opposite direction and i was able to abort passing the slower vehicle without incident.this occurred at approx. 1600 on a rainy day.the symptoms went away after approximately 10 minutes and i had no further issues.
I had the wrench light come on while i was driving and didn't have much of a problem at first. Then a day later when i was going to work, i turned the truck on and pushed the gas and the light came on and i could not accelerated at all. My rpm's would not climb. I had to let my truck start to go on its own then my gas peddle would finally catch and my truck would go. Later that day i was driving home from work, going about 40mph, and my vehicle went into limp mode. I had to pull over and restart my truck. It did like 3 times on the way home. What i don't understand is how as soon as i start my truck, with it still in park, and hit the gas the light illuminates and the trucks rpms don't work. This is one of many problems i have had with this truck. The a/c is a whole other topic.
I have file with you about this before and it has been a recall for this problem but the ford company has not taken care of this problem nor have they taken care of a second recall for another problem with this truck both of these problems together have almost cause 3 very near accidents for me the most recent i was pulling a trailer and entering and on ramp to interstate i-94 on entering as normal i tried to exhilarate to highway speed when all of a sudden all power to the drive train stopped and the truck went into a natural mode (like pushing the clutch in on a standard shift transmission) at that point i was in the drive lane right side but 2 semis one passing the other were barrowing down on me i had to cut sharply to the right and off the shoulder of the highway to keep from being hit buy one of the semi's the ford company stated they would have the parts and the soft wear to fix this problem by the 2nd quarter of 2019 it is now the second half and the problem continues to get worse it now clucks when shifting up from 3 to 4 and sometimes down shifting and when taken your foot off the gas pedal for a few seconds then then push on the gas pedal again the trans will clunk again when i test drove this truck before i bought it i told them there was something wrong with the drivetrain and they told me there was nothing wrong with it that i needed to learn how to drive a six speed transmission the thing about that and they don't know me before i retired i was the floor and operations manager for the community garage of battle creek mich. I have had this truck in to them 2 different times and 2 different dealerships plus i.ve taken it in 3 other times but after making and appointment and telling them i would need a loner which the warranty covers then when i get there no loner plus i would have to pay a $100 fee on the warranty for the thing they never fixed (19v-075)
3.5l ecoboost engine. Went to merge on highway, pressed accelerator, engine stumbled, pressed further on accelerator, engine stumbled, loss of power, check engine light flashing, violent shaking when trying to accelerate to safe speed on -ramp, light went out after a period of 1 - 2 minutes. Had to pull off side of road to avoid traffic as i was unable to accelerate.this was the second incident for this truck. Ford engineering to my service departmentthat there was no fix but they were aware of the issue.
While driving from wilson, n.c. To swan quarter n.c. In the early morning hours on a fishing trip, i started to pass a slow school bus then my truck start jumping, loosing power and the check engine light started flashing.it almost caused me to have to ditch my truck to keep from hitting another vehicle. It was a very foggy morning and i had been driving at 50 and 55 mph for a long distance before this happened.

The contact heard a loud, abnormal noise when trying to accelerate more than 10 mph. The contact also stated that the power train fault warning indicator was illuminated and the transmission temperature was between 180 to 190 degrees. Also, on another occasion, the vehicle began to hesitate and turned off while driving. The vehicle was unable to be driven. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The failure mileage was 102,000.

While entering i-275 after a football game, i was attempting to merge into traffic, and the acceleration was none existent. I was nearly run off the road by another driver. The acceleration finally kicked back in after approximately 5-7 seconds. The problem continued intermittently even after the vehicle was reprogrammed by ford. Several months after the initial occurrence, while attempting to cross 3 lanes of traffic, the same problem occurred again and i was nearly t-boned by a semi after it stalled in the middle of the highway. After several seconds, the acceleration kicked in and i nearly plowed over a pedestrian. Ford seems to be oblivious that there is a problem.
Driving down the road under high way speeds and something internal in the engine let go. Motor locked up almost caused me to get rear ended. Ford dealership said it was not uncommon for it to happen. Have about 85k miles on the truck.
Travelling in 30-35mph zone when all power drops - the dash screen lit up orange with the wrench icon, engine light came on, throttle response was lost which made the truck slow down. I veered over into the turn lane as the truck came to a stop. When it stopped, it was idling very roughly. The throttle was barely responsive... I could only inch forward (even if i floored it), but that's about it. I shut the truck off, waited 10 seconds, turned it back on, and all was well.this has happened 3 times in 3 weeks.i would not want to be on the highway when this happens.
I started my truck and the wrench light came on. The truck was in limp mode and would not accelerate. I restarted the truck and was able to pull it back in the driveway. I plugged in an obd code reader and it gave a p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed." upon some research i found several models between 2011 through 2015 have had similar issues causing dangerous situations on the highway. The issue was moving when it first occurred, but thankfully it was just outside my driveway, i hadnt made it to the highway yet. I restarted the truck, and was able to park it in the driveway.
The first time the incident happen i was driving about 30 mph on a bright sunny day about 70 degrees out. Itried to go around a car and when pressed the accelerator the vehicle kind of stalled and shook, did not accelerate at all. I let off the pedal and tried again and it accelerated fine. There wasn't much danger involved in this mishap as the other driver and i were the only 2 vehicles on the road for a fare amount of distance. The second time thishappened is what really worried me. I was leaving a gas station preparing to cross a 4 lane highway with a speed limit of 55 mph. This time it was morning about 65 degrees and sunny, i rolled up to the intersection and when an opportunity to cross was presented i pressed on the accelerator and the vehicle shook pretty bad and the engine about died. I hit the brake and the engine worked itself out of the shake. That's when i realized this issue is life threatening. If i would have pressed the accelerator and the vehicle brought me to the center of the highway and stalled there is a very good chance i could have been t-boned! and to top it off another issue i have been having with my 2013 ford f-150 platinum is the bluetooth is rarely capable of syncing to my iphone, so i were to be t-boned the vehicle would have been incapable of utilizing its 911 assist feature and the injured involved in the accident would have to rely on a witness dialing 911.

While driving (on highway or elsewhere), v8 engine will stall and stop suddenly without any warning for no apparent reason.happen to me twice on 2 days. Won't create any fault in the obd. First time, happen to me on the highway, i was very lucky not to have been hit by other vehicles. Took the car to ford farway in greenville, sc, they couldn't find anything wrong with the car.the car will always start back after 45 min to an hour. Then will shut down for no reason again. This is a threatening with potential death situation if it happen in heavy traffic...so please, ask ford to investigate all v8 to find quickly the reason why this is happening.
2013 ford f-150 xlt v6 ecoboost displaying shuttering and violent shaking upon 1st start up of the day and sometimes 2nd start up of the day if it's been a while between starts in st louis, mo. Feels like an old vehicle start up not anything like a brand new $42k truck should sound like. My wife also states it shutters while driving on the highway sometimes. I took to dealer (sunset ford) and let them keep it overnight so they would start and check in the morning. Of course they had the nerve to say it did not do anything when they started it. Well after reading various posts about how they seem to not want to fix the product they sell i was upset. So when i went up there i had the service manager go with me outside to start it later that day after they already started it and it did the same thing i took it in there for. It's like they didn't even do their job properly. He hemmed and hawed and stated to bring it back up for another service apt later in the week. I have yet to do so b/c my time is too valuable for them to give me the run around but it still always shutters and shakes sometimes violently upon start up. Don't know what to do other than trade it back in for another truck brand for someone else to deal with. It's a shame b/c i really like fords my grandfather retired from there. I guess like every other company they just keep getting leaner and meaner. Good for their pocket books i guess but not for the everyday man or woman.
2013 ford raptor super crew 27953 miles. Oil change 2 months ago. Oil life still at 69%. I went with the recommended ford motor company synthetic and ford motor company oil filter. I was on my way home from work about 10 minutes into my drive. I went to take off from a stop light and i got through the intersection and had an immediate reduction in power the truck was stuck at 1,000 rpms and would not do anything but slowly creep forward at 5 miles an hour. I limped to a lighted parking lot about a half block away as my low oil pressure light came on and a wrench icon on the dash. I shut it off and popped open the hood. I check my oil level transmission fluid level power steering level and everything was well above tolerances. I could find no problems and when i got back in the truck and started it, it ran fine all the way home. I just scanned the system and no error codes. The stop light road was at a slight downward angle and i had just below a half tank of 93 octane fuel. K and n air filter in stock holder. No other power train or engine modifications. Loss of power, power steering and decreased braking. It would have been very dangerous had it not been later at night.
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.
I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane.suddenly the wrench warning light and check engine light came on, and the car experienced what appeared to be a total loss of engine power.i placed the hazard lights on and was able to navigate to the shoulder, with 18 wheelers and other cars trying to react to my sudden loss of power and speed.after turning the car off, and restarting it, it appears ok to proceed.this same incident has happened now 8 times in the last few days.i took the car into ford and they are claiming it's an issue with the throttle body.i mentioned that i see a throttle body recall for 2015-2016 f-150's, but ford is denying the issue, indicating there is no recall for my 2013.i find many complaints identical to mine for f-150's earlier than 2015.they also claim ford denies the issue and refuses to fix the problem.most also reference concern for a significant safety issue, feeling that ford will only fix this once people die.i took my f-150 to the local ford dealer today and they verified it was the throttle body, and are charging me $650 to fix it.i have read from others that the component used to fix the problem is the original faulty component, so there is no reason to feel that the problem will not happen again eventually.i have experienced four times on the freeway at 65mph, and several times on city streets at 30mph.i was driving straight, not braking.
Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the exact same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.
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 againwhile driving the 2013 ford f150 ecoboost. It suddently lost power, the wrench light came on, i tried to accelerate but was not able to. I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the truck and turn it back on. When i turned it back on it was working fine again. This has happened multiple times during the week. And ford is no help unless the check engine light comes on. It's is super unsafe to drive, yet ford says to keep driving the vehicle.
This is a serious problem and a major safety issue!!! i experienced this twice last weekend on a major highway.i was driving (25mph) and all of a sudden the truck began shuddering and went into limp mode. I couldn't go more than 5 mph and almost caused and accident. The dealer was closed, so i disconnected the battery and after reconnecting it the truck ran fine, until later that night when the same thing happened but at 70mph. Once again the only thing to do was disconnect the battery (to reset everything). The truck was taken into the dealer first thing monday morning just to be told that nothing is wrong with it.
Today while driving 70mph my truck shifted to 1st gear causing the truck to lock the rear tires, swerve from left to right, rpm's to the max rev limit, loss of power, dash cluster went blank, wrench symbol showed up, then wrench symbol was gone with a blank dash cluster. Truck then jumped to 3rd gear, back to 1st, then back up to 5th gear. Pulled over turned of truck, took out key, re-started truck and issue was gone. This has happened multiple times, however, i was at 10-20mph. Once at 55mph shift to 3rd gear, back to 5th, then to 1st, up to 3rd. Every time the truck will end up at 3rd gear. The truck will not shift down to first manually, you must take of in 3rd gear without any power. There was a recall for 2011-2012 ford f150's. There are multiple complaints all over the internet with these same problems all with years ranging from 2011-2017. O feel this is an ongoing problem with a huge safety concern witb your vehicle going from 70mph down to first gear causing the wheels to lock up and swerve all over the highway. Do people have to die before ford will recognize this is a problem with many years of the model!!!!!i'm happy my family was not in the truck when this happens. I car pool kids everyday on the highway. Would you feel safe doing this knowing that ford knows about this issue from past years. Please make these trucks safe!!! i took it to a ford dealer and they hooked up the computer to my truck, and the computer showed 0 codes found. Every time this happens you turn off the vehicle, re-start it (sometimes you have to do it multiple times) the truck will drive perfect until it decides to act up again.
While making a left hand turn across traffic i floored the gas pedal and all power was lost almost resulting in a crash. The next time was on the highway while trying to pass another vehicle total loss of power. Unable to pass almost rear ended, luckily able to get off the road. Today november 3rd 2013 9:00 am traveling 40 mph on flat ground clear sky about 45 degrees i floored it and the truck did nothing it did shake alittle and i kept my foot to the floor for about 1/2 a mile and it never regained any power. Then i smelled something burning. No check engine lights ever came on and my fuel economy get worst every day. The truck feels like something is dragging it down all the time. Poor fuel economy mixed with unreliability is going to equal disaster. Ford is lucky no one has been hurt or killed yet.the truck will be towed to the dealer in the morning i simply will not risk my life while ford sits on there thumbs. Fix the problem before someone is hurt!!!!
The following occurred in a 2013 f150 platinum with 12,000 miles on it. While accelerating from a traffic light, the car lost power and stuttered and fell into limp mode.you could not drive over 10 mph.this has been just one of many similar incidents.i have taken the car in several times but ford cannot replicate the problem, so they will not fix anything.recently, the car just misfired while driving around 40mph, these incidents occur suddenly then the car recovers.my car is currently in the shop, i will pick it up today, they said they could not replicate the problem, so no service was done.the reason it was in the shop this time?i was driving to work in the morning and the car basically collapsed while driving, almost causing a huge accident, this incident was more extreme than the others and the car was stuck in limp mode for about 5 seconds, the woman behind me almost smashed into me.this is a 50k truck with 12,000 miles on it. This truck is extremely dangerous to drive. Recall!!!!!!
This occurred on a rainy hot day southbound towards cape cod.i was driving my second 2013 ford f150,both of which have the ecoboost engine.i attempted to pass on a two lane road,and upon acceleration the engine began to shutter, engine light came on, engine lost most of its power,and vehicle slowed dramatically.after approximately 20 to 30 seconds the engine began to return to a normal operating mode. Had there been oncoming traffic,i would not be writing this.as i said, this is my second ecoboost,and i thought that ford would have fixed what is clearly a potentially fatal flaw with this engine.i had the same issue occur twice before in my prior ecoboost f150.i brought the truck to a dealer today for another minor issue and asked that the ecoboost issue be addressed,but that request was rejected by the dealer,whom sighted ford policy.clearly there is a pattern of failure on these engines,and just as clear it appears there is an effective and economical fix,based on my personal research of available information on line.it is unexplainable why ford would not get in front of this issue before there is a fatal accident.
Engine stops on hard acceleration all most got hit on more than one occasion.
Oil pressure low, it's came sometimes since 3000km until now i have 190000km its came 7 times, and when it's happened the truck switching off and the dengrous thing when the steering lock omg specifically on the highway or corners
Recently had my truck go throught a inspection check at a professional automotive shop and it was diagnosed with right and left exhaust manifold leaks. This issue is causing exhaust manifold gases to leak into my cabin and power loss while engine is running. Reason for leaks are due to exhaust manifold bolts breaking and warped exhaust manifold.
While driving along, lost power and motor vibrated.light with wrench came on.vehicle slowed down.pulled on side of the road.motor kept running erratically.engine surged to a higher speed by itself.problem cleared by itself.went to autozone and had error code read.it said that it was a defective throttle body.could have caused an accident if in gear and engine surged or if failure occurred on a freeway.
While traveling on the open highway at 65mph, a yellow wrench appeared in my dash information panel and the vehicle entered "limp mode".the engine shut down and i had to make an emergency transition onto the shoulder in heavy traffic.the vehicle was able to restart, however, it had the same problem two additional times on the way to the nearest ford dealership.the obd diagnostic code was p2112
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle idled roughly and stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Hertrich ford lincoln (1427 bay rd, milford, de 19963, (302) 725-3216) was contacted, but was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
3rd time this has happened, pressed gas pedal to accelerate onto highway. Gas pedal was stuck in down position with engine revving. Held brake to slow it down, picked right back up when let off. No floor mats where near the pedal, and tapping the brake didn't disengage it. Was stuck for several minutes at dangerous speeds
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). While driving 40-45 mph in fourth and/or fifth gear, the vehicle downshifted into first gear and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to long-lewis ford lincoln (2551 john hawkins pkwy, birmingham, al 35244, (205) 989-3673) where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs, boots, and timing needed to be adjusted. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the recall software remedy was not available. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: cas17397322. The contact was informed that the regional customer service representative would call him. The failure mileage was 94,000.
While driving at full speed (50 mph), my ford-f-150 went into "limp mode" and a wrench light appeared.the truck immediately decelerated without activating the brake lights and almost caused me to be rear-ended on a dark country road.i was able to pull over eventually. After shutting off the truck and restarting it, i was able to drive home but the problem reoccured several times before i could take it to the dealer.at the dealer - it was noted that this is identical (both in truck actions and electronic codes) to the 16n02 recall for 2011-2012 ford -f-150's but that mine was not covered due to my vin number not being part of that batch. I had the transmission repaired (as offered in the previously mentioned warrantee) so that my truck was safe to drive. There was no visible damage or wear to any of the parts that needed replaced.looking online - this has occurred in several 2013 ford f-150 according to message boards - and we hope ford will consider expanding the recall and preventing this issue from occurring to other owners.
Vehicle stalls while driving and won't restart for hours. This has happened 3 times since may and twice since september 2018. Each time it has been taken to a ford dealership and the ford dealer says that they can find nothing wrong that can be recreated. I have stalled out on an 8 lane highway. This was an extremely dangerous occurrence. I recently had the entire truck serviced, from oil change to throttle body cleaning to spark plugs to transmission cleaned, axles cleaned. All of this was done mid august 2018 and still has not fixed the issue. I have 102,367 miles on my vehicle. When i looked to see if there were others with this issue, i found that there were many and that ford is refusing to issue a recall to repair this extremely dangerous and hazardous malfunction. I am sitting on the roadway right at the moment, waiting for aaa to tow my truck to the dealership.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving, the vehicle lost power. The wheels seized, the vehicle slid, and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was coasted safely to the road shoulder. The contact had to drive through the back streets to avoid traffic. The vehicle was driven to sunrise ford (16005 valley blvd, fontana, ca 92335, (888) 629-1239), but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was then driven to upland ford (555 w foothill blvd, upland, ca 91786, (909) 333-4242) where it was diagnosed that a new motor was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 100,000.
Upon acceleration to pass on freeway, engine shudders and loses power. Transmission down shifted to try to recover, but engine would not respond to throttle press. Had to back off on throttle and move to right lane all the while thinking to take the truck to the shoulder. Very scary when trying to pass and no power. Luckily i was not rear ended for slowing down so fast!
While merging onto a highway via an on ramp in rainy conditions i was almost involved in an accident when my 2013 ford f150 ecoboost equipped truck lost power and would not accelerate. I was forced to the shoulder as the approaching tractor trailer was unable to stop in time and the impending collision would have caused serious harm to my family. The check engine light flashed for a few moments as we drove slowly on the shoulder and then it went off.no further highway travel was used following this potentially catastrophic incident due to the rainy conditions.one additional incident occurred with the truck one month prior but did not result in the check engine light. When pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street the truck hesitated for a few moments before finally accelerating. When the truck finally responded a large smoke cloud appeared behind the truck and the engine revved much higher than normal. Until the recent event we thought it was an isolated incident. There was no rain or excessive moisture in the air on this particular day.
While trying to rapidly accelerate from a slow speed of 20 mph to avoid a possible collision my f150 ecoboost engine lost all power and the engine light started blinking.i had to pull over to the side of the road and wait for the engine light to go off.this is a serious safety issue that needs to be fixed.this is a recurring issue with my ecoboost engine.

Wipers not working right--battery light comes on - engine stalls on road while driving--gauges not working right-had speed set at 55 mph and motor wentdown but start up on it's own---radio stops working alone with the phone too;they but in a new battery on my request and now new things are happening to gauges an tack jumping up and down with the key out??? alarm goes off some times when my phone rings an i am not in the truck!!!
Yesterday, my truck started fine with no issues, all systems were fine. This morning, 12/13/14, i went to start my truck and my battery was completely dead. I left nothing on and nothing plugged in. I purchased a new battery and it started fine although the remote start (factory installed) no longer works when pressed, the horn blows once and the lights flash twice. I looked out of my window a few minutes ago and noticed that the white instrument cluster lights are on. I went out to make sure my truck was locked, got in, started the engine and shut everything off again but the instrument cluster lights won't go out.
While trying to pass slower vehicles on the freeway my f150 ecoboost engine lost power and the truck started to shake.this situation almost cause a serious accident as traffic behind me had to rapidly slow down to allow me time to pass the slower vehicles and get out of the way.
While accelerating, vehicle lost power and started shuddering with the check engine flashing.could not accelerate while the light was flashing for about 20-30 seconds.after light went out truck started driving normal again.
Loss of power and shudder at speeds of 60+mph when trying to accelerate to pass other vehicles or going up hills.in 2014 i purchased a used 2013 ford f-150 eco boost truck.about a month ago i experienced a shudder and loss of power when trying to pass another vehicle while driving on the freeway. The mph was about 70+ miles.since that time it happens all of the time when driving above 60mph or higher when i try to accelerate.if i gradually accelerate it doesn't happen.
Pulling a trailer to field when smoke appeared and engine area was on fire.
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.
Driving normal on highway and truck turned off. No power steering. No brakes. No power. Almost crashed with 18 wheelers. Was going 65 on third lane on a 6 lane highway.
Upon hard acceleration to merge on to an interstate, a loss of engine power was experience causing a failure to accelerate.the vehicle was moved to the side of the road to prevent a rear end collision with another vehicle secondary to loss of speed and inability to accelerate.
Pulling out into the highway with traffic coming, i tried to accelerate and the engine lost power.to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic, i steered vehicle onto the shoulder of the highway.i have had several other instances of where i lost power, the engine did not respond while trying to pass other vehicles. It was not humid or raining at the time these incidents occurred.took vehicle to the dealer, it was there for two days.they could not find or recreated the problem.
While driving at 70 mph i accelerated to pass and suddenly the engine bogged down and began to slow down along with engine light flashing.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall with the check engine warning light illuminated.

This is an update to my complaint filed preciously. After the second episode of loss of power and the check engine light coming on. I took my ecoboost powered truck to a ford dealer and they performedtsb 14-0017.this was supposed to fix the engine loosing power. This is why the nhtsa closed the investigation of the f150 ecoboost. This has not worked. Yesterday 11-7-2015 i was on a 2 hour highway trip in rainy conditions. While driving the motor again lost power and could not even maintain highway speeds. This was dangerous to my family and everyone around us. The tsb from ford has not fixed the dangers of these trucks. Please re-open the investigation into this dangerous vehicle before someone is killed or injured. American roads deserve safe cars.
During acceleration to pass a car, my truck exhibited a power loss. The check engine light starts flashing and the engine looses power and the truck decelerates. This has now happened 6 times in various conditions.in 3 instances the engine almost stalled. It continued to stutter until i put the truck in park, shut the engine off and restarted. Twice, this has happened in chicago traffic while merging onto the highway and resulted in a very dangerous situation. I have taken my truck to the dealer 4 times but they say no computer codes were recorded. I have contacted ford but the regional customer service manager says she has never heard of anyone with this problem before. They refuse to do anything about it and told me to continue to take my truck to the dealer when these issues occur. My truck is now 9 months old with 13,000 miles on it. The most recent occurrence was in march of this year.
Bought the truck in september 2015 with 60,000 miles on it.now i have 101159 miles on it now. At about 98,000 miles my check engine light came on and i lostacceleration power when first taking off from a stop or if i get on the gas the truck hesitates and will either accelerate slow or won't accelerate at all. Almost got in an accident about a week ago when merging onto the freeway do to lost power. Contacted a mechanic and he came picked the truck up and ran testing on it and couple hours later called back and said my timing chains and phasers needed to be replaced. With that said it will cost me $3,000-4,000 to get this fixed and i simply do not have an extra couple thousand dollars to shell out for this fix . I have been doing a lot of searching and have been finding that a ton of people have had this problem and when they contact ford, ford is basically saying they are sol and have to pay out of pocket for the fix.i still owe $22,000and thought about trading it in for something else but feel they will knock $4,000 off what the vehicle is worth. I have no idea what to do at this point.please help!!!
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle did not decelerate and increased in rpms when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was taken to a body repair shop, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
Stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise up hill conditions or hard acelarecion eqped with 3.5l ecoboost and engine light flashes . Very dangerous in the highway becouse my the truck engine stops working and you have to pullover right away if you luky .
Vehicle runs great most of the time, but when driving at highway speeds for a couple of hours in the rain, snow, humid or misting conditions, the truck will sometimes loose power and start shaking/stuttering when accelerating to pass another vehicle, or when climbing a hill.most of time, it is a very slight shudder but when under heavy throttle, the engine will start cutting out, loose power and speed, and the check engine light will start flashing.when this happens, i will have to pull over to the slower lane of traffic, or onto the shoulder.after about 30 seconds the check engine light will either go out, or come on solid.it is very frightening when this happens but it has happened enough times that i almost expect it when the conditions are right for it to occur.i have taken it into various ford dealerships as i am usually out of town on vacation when it happens.they have applied all the tsb's recommended by ford motor, but obviosity they can't recreate the issue on demand and apparently can't correct it.this is a very dangerous issue and i would support a total recall of all ecoboost vehicles until corrected.
Traveling on the interstate during heavy rains. Traffic in my lane stopped. I tried to change lanes and accelerate briskly. When i tried to accelerate, the vehicle started to shutter and the engine power died. It seemed to go into limp mode. The check engine light flashed several times. The vehicle would not accelerate and left me hanging in the travel lane with faster traffic almost causing a crash. Vehicle is one week old and has approximately 600 miles on it. The engine is the ford ecoboost 3.5l v6. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted to get it to drive normal again.
Exhaust manifold bolts broken and warped manifold.
I regularly have my truck serviced . . today my engine light came on with no warning. It sent a message to put vehicle in park. It was towed to my home. It will not let me shift to drive with an uncontrollable vibration. It did almost the same thing when it was recalled. I have always paud my payments on time ... Had it servuced accordingly.mt truck has given me more problems than i deserve.we were on tge main highway when this happened thank god no one was coming behind me it would have been a bad accident...help [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*pm
Upon turning off the ignition the starter kicked on and wouldn't stop. Got truck out of garage. It died in the driveway. Saw smoke and sparks. Opened the hood and saw a small fire under the engine block. Called fd but had it out by the time they arrived.
My vehicle is a 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost. I was traveling on the interstate and my check engine light came on and the truck shuddered violently.while this was occurring the vehicle had little power.i was in the left hand lane, and was pinned between a tractor trailer on my right and a car behind me.the vehicle shuddered for approx. 8 to 10 seconds then stopped. I was then able to accelerate and pass the truck. Weather conditions: raining temp: between 75 and 80 degreestime: 7:00 a.m.
I have both exhaust manifolds warped and leaking
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph the vehicle stalled and the engine warning illuminated.approximately 15 seconds the vehicle responded and accelerated.

While driving engine continues running but suddenly discontinues movement of vehicle. After couple minutes with engine off vehicle will resume normal operation. Has happened twice, once on neighborhood street when turning corner andsecond time on freeway traveling about 60mph.
My family was driving home from a trip on the interstate in rainy weather conditions for the majority of the trip.on two or three different occurrences, when accelerating to pass or merge, the truck engine shuddered and failed to provide power necessary to accelerate.never did it completely stall, but there was a noticeable shuddering of the engine and the truck felt like it was riding over rough pavement.i had read about this issue with the ecoboost engine in the f150 (unfortunately after i bought the truck) but had never experienced it until yesterday.when i felt the shuddering of the engine, i eased off the gas and gently reapplied as i had heard about instances of the vehicle completely stalling when pushing the accelerator to the floor.if it would have stalled last night on the interstate, in stormy weather, late at night, it would have been a scary and very dangerous incident.when i called my local ford dealer today and asked him about service bulletins, recalls, or possible fixes, he acted like he had never heard of the issue before...
While driving from ohio back to north carolina, my wife and i were travelling at 75 mph when suddenly and without warning my truck abruptly stalled to 5 mph with no power from the accelerator. I managed to get the truck out of the high speed lane on a two lane highway and on to the side of the road. I turned the truck off. A few minutes later, i turned the truck back on and all function resumed. This has happened in the past, but when i took it in for work there was no issue reported or read and the error could not be replicated. The truck was towed to a ford dealership. Service informed me i had a bad throttle body. This truck was part of a "customer satisfaction program" run in 2013 for a bad throttle body and total loss of acceleration.my truck received the repair in 2014 voiding the throttle body 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty. The safety concern remains and is endangering my life, my wife, and our future child. The part might be replaced without fixing the problem. An electrical issue may keep this vehicle having reoccurrences. This has me very concerned about a service that does not increase vehicle safety. And because of that concern i began to inquire if anyone else has had this issue. It turns out that in 2015 a class action suit was filed against ford and settled on individual basises (janis benkle et al v ford motor company). Currently, there are no programs to assist owners like myself in this situation. The original program is no longer valid and the repair performed was only good for one time (that repair apparently would not solve the safety concern as others have stated that the problem persisted after a new throttle body was put in). I have sought out an audience with the "zone manager". However, i have been informed that is impossible ascustomer care will not give that information and neither will the dealership.
Truck being driven apx 55 mph and no change from me truck has sudden slowdown with speedometer drop to 40s then recovers as truck speeds up on it's own. Same day as trying to park, in drive, pressing on gas engine revs but does not move. Today (7 days later) accelerating from stop transmission sticks in low gear. Has had powertrain recall applied.
Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinderengine. Has been numerous reportswith others but ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but i'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks nhtsa.
Reproduceable loss of power after extended highway driving in humid weather. Loss of power happens when the ecoboost intercooler (cac) builds up condensation and then throttle is applied to pass or merge into traffic. When trottle is applied the condesation water is pushed by the turbos psi into the motor. This causes a missfire and the engine to loose power unexpectedly.this has happebed when attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle on a country road with oncomming traffic nearly causing a head on collision.
I purchased my truck brand new in april of 2013. It is a 2013 ford f-150 fx4 super crew ecoboost. Monday (9-23-13) i was driving on interstate i-75 at approx. 70mph, i hit the accelerator to pass a vehicle and when i did, my truck dropped down to 2nd or 3rd gear, began to shake violently, lost power (hp), and the check engine light came on. I pulled over, turned off the truck and waited a couple of minutes and proceeded on my drive home. I drove one more hour, stopped in tampa for about two hours, then got back on i-75. One and a half hours later, it did the same thing at 60mph this time. This truck is known for this issue. The intercooler seems to be the problem. My truck now has 9500 miles on it. What's upsetting is that this is the 2nd time my truck has done this. The first time occurred on july 15, 2013 with 5,100 miles on the odometer. My local ford dealership kept my truck for 4 days and replaced the intercooler, assuring me the problem was resolved (which it wasn't, as my truck repeated the issue yesterday, even with the replacement part). There are have been numerous complaints about this model truck having this issue. This is a huge safety concern, as the first time this happened to me, i could have been hit head-on by oncoming traffic (because the vehicle totally loses all power, no acceleration).
While traveling on the highway going about 50 miles per hour, the vehicle loss power and would not respond to me pressing on the gas pedal. I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped, then the vehicle start to shudder real bad. I turned off the vehicle and restarted it, and the problem disappeared for about a week, then it occurred again with the same effects.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the wrench icon displayed "major malfunction" and the vehicle stalled without warning on numerous occasions. 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.consumer stated no place in the carfax even show's when consumer brought it in to service. No mention they replaced the short block when a piston shrank in cyl no#3 they replace the long block in march 2017 three weeks back in april now to replace head's engine still had a miss two weeks after that they had to replace throttlebody the light still comes on they can not fix problem. Vehicle purchase dated should be on or before incident date updated 9/12/18
3.5 eco-boost engine on two occasions put me in an unsafe condition by causing a loss of throttle response.each time this happened a "wrench icon" flashed with a loss of power.no throttle response until the engine was shut down and restarted.when these incidents happened i was towing a trailer at highway speed and had a difficult time pulling out of traffic onto the shoulder.each time this happened a trouble code of p2112 was set and the cel came on.the throttle body had to be replaced each time.the first time this happened i had 23131 miles and ford replaced the part under warranty, the second occurrence was at 45558 miles and i had to cover the cost for replacement.with the loss of power at highway speed this could lead to a serious accident in not being able to move out of the way of traffic at a critical moment.the ford service managers can't give me a reason why this part is failing.
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.
The vehicle drops into 1st gear for no reason, including when at high speed.this causes the rear wheels to skid and the vehicle to loose control.i have taken the vehicle to two ford dealerships, and they have done the software update under recall 19s07, but the vehicle continues to have this problem.both dealerships tell me they believe the lead frame needs to be replaced to fix the sudden downshifting, but ford corporation refused to pay the cost of this repair because ford corporation say the lead frame is not covered by the 19s07 recall unless there are "error codes" (which there are not, even though the truck has downshifted three times at speeds of about 35 mph since they "fixed" the software).
The dealership's first available appointment to address the recall was two weeks out.after trying to get an earlier appointment as the transmission had shifted gears while we were towing a trailer down a hill almost causing us to crash.the receptionist then told us that they actually cant make the correction and that we would be receiving a letter in the mail and refused to take our vehicle in.
1. Engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed.. 2. Powertrain, transmission - receiveda recall 19v-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. Took the f150 to gateway ford dealership for the update. The next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter eradicable the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, i shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. This has happened again, not sure of dates. As i was traveling out of south dakota i contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another ford dealership and they would fix it. Took it to auto nation ford in corpus christi, tx. They wouldn't fix it . They said the update wad already done. The pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. In addition the drivers seat is wearing out. It should rear better than that. The pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. One more issue. The positive battery post continually corrodes. I've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. Please have someone address these issues on my f150.i think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving north on i-95 in georgia at 65 mph, i attempted to accelerate. The truck began to shake violently, lose power, and the check engine light illuminated. The weather at the time was 70 degrees with moderate rain. I had been driving for approximately one hour at the time of the incident. I had to pull over to the emergency lane and shut off the motor. The engine restarted ok. I did not attempt any more hard accelerations. I had no more stall problems. I took the truck to the dealer where they found a misfire code, but had no explanation or fix to prevent the problem from happening again. This is an ecoboost vehicle.
Timing chain for ecoboost stretches and engine knocks
Electronics in the throttle body cause a computer fault while driving, which results in the engine (3.5 l twin turbo v-6) instantly going into limp mode, where the engine produces no power.this sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous.it happens with no warning.it can happen while attempting to accelerate through an intersection with oncoming traffic.it can happen at freeway speeds where the sudden deceleration can cause a collision, and where there is no place to pull over safely.this fault is very common in ford f-150's and ford automobiles.it has been a problem ignored by ford and the nhtsa for years!it should be the object of a recall!i replaced the throttle body on my f-150 at 75,000 miles.now, 25,000 miles later it needs to be replaced again!this is ridiculous, as well as expensive!please, make ford stand behind their dangerously flawed product!
At freeway speed engine began to shudder severely when passing on uphill grade.engine went into limp mode.narrowly missed being involved in collision with several vehicles while attempting to get out of traffic. Light misty rain at the time.engine would not start afterwards until battery disconnected to "reset" vehicle.date approximate.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph and passing another vehicle, there was hesitation and a rapid reduction in engine power as the warning indicator illuminated. Three minutes later, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the ecobooster engine cac detector shield was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,987.
This brand new truck is misfiring.when i inquired about why this was happening i was told that ford is still investigating the problem but has not even reached out the customers who just paid all this money for these trucks like me at a sum of 50,000.00. I'm told this problem has been going on since 2011 when the ecoboost engine was introduced. Where is the customer service ford! so many people have had this problem with this ecoboost engine and you can't tell me you didn't know of these problems before continuing to sell these trucks to people.i thought you were better than chevrolet but i'm starting to feel differently.
We bought our 2013 f150 xlt 4x4 v6 flex fuel at denham ford in wetaskiwin alberta. We traveled across country to ontario. We have continued to drive it. Approximately 9000 kms for mileage our truck has steadily lost acceleration power. Going up burlington skyway and garden city skyway (100 km/h major highway) truck struggle to maintain 60 km/h uphill with pedal to the floor! had instrumental panel problems improper display of amount of gas or distance to e. Driveshaft constantly clunking and transmission slippage. Ford refused to replace after towing of problems and constant call ins to customer service. Took to local dealer and 7-8 technicians stood round scratching head replaced fuel pump did not make a difference. Ford ask for payment 558.08 we not have funds as all of our money going into gas to repair truck and false reading on panel and ford refused to help us. We felt used and scared of being rear ended by a semi was not safe. Did diagnostic no codes. Beyond code problem. First known problem in north america...huge lemon.
When accelerating the engine shut off without warning.after the dealer provided service for this issue, the engine shut off while decelerating to a stop and again while accelerating from this stop. Most recently the engine has been very sluggish at times while attempting to accelerate.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the transmission failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to galpin ford (15505 roscoe blvd, north hills, ca 91343, (818) 787-3800) where it was diagnosed that the throttle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
When cold starting the eco boost engine a loud rattling noise can be heard for several seconds... Ford service stated that the noise is timing chain stretch and stated that over time this will cause the check engine light and could destroy the engine... The check engine light will come on indicating the engine is out of time.if the timing chain should slip or break it would cause the engine to be destroyed which would be a safety hazard....
When driving the engine began to shudder and lost power. The vehicles engine blew and subsequently lost power and i had to get to the side of the ride road. There are thousands of reports online of people having their eco-boost engines blow due to a moisture issue in fords design. Ford issued a tsb not a recall for the problem and have last many motorist including my self at danger as the engines can go without warning. Ford has denied my claim i made through them as well as many others passing them off as lack of maintenance and out of warranty. However, my truck has been serviced and well taken care off.research shows that people have had this issue happen at various millage conditions while some have not experienced the issue at all. Ford has failed to provide insight into why this happens and a guarantee it can be prevented.
3.5 l ecobost losses power while driving on highway and poor acceleration from stop light or when accelerator pedal is depressed when passing. Several close calls from vehicles going faster approaching from rear at stop lights and while passing. Had close encounter with two tractor trailers on hwy while traveling at 60-65mph going up a hill. Went to pass the trailer truck that was slowing down. After entering the passing lane and pressing the acceleration pedal the truck had a quick shake then with the acceleration pedal pressed to the floor the truck slowed to 45 mph and would not accelerate. I was almost rear ended buy another large truck attempting to pass the slower one.sometimes has ticking noise at start up that seems to go away after running for 5-30seconds. Has p0016 code and p0299 codes.
When pulling out into traffic from a stop i experienced a sudden loss of power from the engine.the engine sputtered and it would not accelerate or increae rpm.after pumping the gas pedal twice the turbos finally kicked in and allowed mwe to once again accelerate.this loss of power while entering the roadway nearly caused a collision.
Multiple times now, my truck will downshift and send the rpms over 4500 this causes the engine to misfire, the engine light will blink and the truck will struggle to maintain its speed and any acceleration is extremely diminished.this is extremely dangerous as i frequently drive on rural 2-lane(one in each direction) highways and find this problem significantly impacts my ability to safely pass slower vehicles.it has failed to accelerate enough times that i cannot depend on the truck to accelerate when i move into oncoming lanes of traffic.at 30,000 miles the engine developed an oil leak.within a month of having the leak repaired at the dealer, the engine experienced a major misfire event causing the engine light to come on.i returned the vehicle to the dealership for repair.the dealership explained that two ignition coils went bad and required replacement.this caused damage to the spark plugs for which i was charged approx $250 but was able to negotiate it down to $140.within a month of getting the vehicle back, the vehicle started displaying the misfire symptoms with diminished acceleration and blinking engine light. Very unhappy with this vehicle's performance!
I have a f150 4-wheel eco boost v6. I recently had my vehicle in for an oil change and at that time decided to have the recall done for the software update. The next few days i noticed that there was some hesitation with the gears shifting and the transmission at times would drop. I contacted the dealership to bring my truck back in at that time they could not find anything wrong but an oil pressure sensor. Some days later i was driving on the feeder road getting ready to enter the highway. As soon as i entered my speedometer stop working and the transmission dropped into 1st gear. There was a car behind me that almost collided with my truck. My family was in the car at the time and this could have been a serious accident. The next day i brought my truck back into the dealership and they did a quick diagnosis. They stated that i had transmission issues and that i needed to look into getting another vehicle through them and trading my truck out. I was upset by the response so i took my vehicle to a local transmission shop where they thoroughly inspected the truck. The findings were that the oss sensor was faulty and it pull up a p0270 code. The shop advised me that this was a warranty and safety issue and that i immediately take it back to the dealership to have it repaired. When i return to the dealership they at that time acknowledge thatit was a warranty issue and could be fix, but they could not even look at it for 2-weeks and would not even provide a loaner after stating my safety concerns. I then contact ford motor company and they could not assist until the dealership looked at my truck. I did state to them the time issue at the dealership but was told they have no control over what they do. I'm stuck with driving a unsafe vehicle for an issue outside of my control and no one at ford is taking the matter seriously. This could cause a fatal or severe injury.
Vehicle stalls randomly while driving,no matter if it's on the highway or city streets. This is dangerous. It has been to the dealer 4 times.it's there now and they are unable to figure it out.ford is aware of this problem and recalled the 2011 and 2012 and some 2013s.but not mine. This vehicle needs to be recalled.it's an accident waiting to happen.it left me stranded it rural colorado in a snow storm in 7 degree weather with my daughter.i did restart but that would have been really bad had it not.
Eco boost power loss
As part of safety recall notice 19s07, i scheduled my local ford dealer (koon's/annapolis, md) for service on this recall. I scheduled my 100,000 service appointment to go with it. Curiously, about an hour after making the appointment, a representative from the dealer's service department called to say while they could take the appointment that i was paying for out of my pocket without issue, the recall repair that fmc is paying for was not available to me until ... Oct. 1, 2019 at the earliest.why is it that a repair/service that i'm paying for is available to me immediately, but a repair that fmc is paying for -- that required a "don't delay / schedule today" letter from ford to alert me about this dangerous situation isn't available until oct. 1?
6/11/13 driving in moderate rain in 75 degrees with cruise control on i attempted to accelerate to pass.truck lost power and began to shudder rather violently.check engine light began to flash.incident lasted 20-30 seconds.this occurred again on 6/13/13 in similar conditions.i took the vehicle to a dealer in massena ny.they pulled a p-306 code (#6 cylinder misfire) and ran an oasis report.the report showed my exact symptoms as an ecoboost issue.they assured me it was not going to damage the vehicle so i drove it back to home in virginia.i have an appt with my local norfolk va dealer on 6/17/13.my build date is 03/03/13.
2013 ford f-150 with the 5.0 v8 engine that has 51,000 miles. On numerous occasions the truck will crank as normal but will not start, as well as lose power while driving. Ford road side had the truck towed to summerville ford. Ford service department advised that a fuse form the factory was too small and was overheating causing the truck not to start. The service department told me this is a known/common issue, and the fix was for them to install a fuse relocation kit by splicing into the wiring in the fuse box as well as install a larger fuse. Of course this seems like an engineering/fuse location issue and not a worn out part issue.
While driving with no warning the truck started to over heat, the battery died, and i lost steering due to the faulty water pump breaking and the serpentine belt coming off while in rush hour traffic
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The vehicle was able to restart and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to girard ford (450 w thames st, norwich, ct 06360, (860) 889-2601) where it was diagnosed that the fuse was melted andneeded to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The contact stated that the vehicle was covered by nhtsa id number: 10074713/manufacturer communication number: 15-0137 (engine). The failure mileage was 66,287.
Truck going from 6 gear down to first but every service center tells me i cannot get a appointment not even be place on the waiting list due to lack of technicians, i need help because my truck is not safe to drive
1st failure - road little icy. Turned around and truck shut down. 2nd failure - may, 27 2013, drove to town, truck would not start. Left it over night, started in the morning, drove it home. Called ford dealer said to bring it in. Wouldn't start. Wrecker took it to ford dealer. They are still working on it.
There is a chemical smell that comes and goes from the air vents when the a/c is on.
Well after a week or two i noticed like three different things on my new 2013 ford f-150. A smell coming out of the ac and heater, some days its cold and some days it was hot. It was like a burst of rubbing alcohol and it is just like a burst that comes out every now and than some days more than others, also when i come to a stop i notice my brakes make a clapping notice right when i come to a stop, like a fan coming to a stop. Also i notice the truck does not run a smooth as it did the first two weeks. I have taken it in twice, but they say it is okay.i'm very concern of the smell and because i feel something is wrong, because it does not drive as smooth. Am i crazy?
I was at a complete stop on a main street making a left turn. Traffic was coming in the opposite direction and i was waiting for clearing within the traffic in order to make my left turn. There was an opening in traffic and i stepped on the gas to accelerate across the lane. As i stepped on the gas a message on my dashboard came on stating "low oil pressure" and the vehicle completed stalled. I completely lost all power on the engine and also the steering wheel.the vehicle drifted across the busy lane and barely made it across the lane as traffic was coming directly towards me.multiple vehicles were coming in my direction and some honked there car horn to get out of the way.this was extremely frightening as i had my baby with me in the back seat.the cars would have clearly hit my vehicle if i had not drifted across that lane.the truck is practically new as it barely has 6724 miles. Updated 10/8/2014
On friday morning, may 2, 2013 i pickedupmy f150 from the dealer service department after they claimed that the problem was isolated and fixed.i drove to work without any problems, however, in the afternoon on my way home the vehicle stalled and cut off on me.this happened when i accelerated to pass another vehicle.i was lucky to get to the center turning lane and make across to a parking lot without incident.this is the third time this vehicle stalls on me, twice while driving, and have been towed to the dealer four times because of this issue.the mechanic at the dealership claims that the problem comes from the aftermarket light bar i installed and connected to the trailer connector.this claim sounds too ridiculous to even consider it to be the fact.i truly believe that the problem is the ecoboost system since it only happens upon acceleration.clearly the dealerships service department opted to blame the vehicle owner and not put real effort to fix the problem.
Engines runs rough especially at idle and other random times through the day.coolant loss continuing from new in july 2013 to present day may 2014.evidence of water in oil with milky residue in filler cap.no external leaks.dealer and ford say that coolant loss is normal and milky residue in engine oil is normal.ford will not authorize any repairs.
When the air conditioner is on low and recirculate, there is a strong chemical smell like paint thinner or adhesive coming out of the panel vents. Prolonged exposure causes headaches and dizziness. This occurs at almost any speed and weather condition hot enough to require air conditioning. Has been to dealer 3 times. They can duplicate the problem but cannot fix it.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. On several occasions, while driving various speeds, the vehicle downshifted and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to nielson ford (375 nj-23, sussex, nj 07461, (973) 702-8000) multiple times, but no diagnostic failure codes were found and the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired and continued to downshift and stalled. The vehicle was taken back to nielson ford where it was diagnosed that the lead frame assembly and sleeves needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and confirmed that there were no recalls associated with the vin. The contact was advised to contact nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
I was entering a shared merge lane and attempted to accelerate into the travel lane on my left.it was rainy and i attempted to accelerate briskly.the truck shuddered sharply, lost power and went into "limp home" mode.several vehicles had to move sharply to avoid me as i returned to the merge lane.the vehicle returned to normal within minutes. This has happened three times since.always rain and brisk acceleration.the dealership could not see a diagnosis from the computer.they were aware of the problem, said i was current with the service bulletins, and sent me on my way.
Vehicle went in for service, issue with engine stutter, dealership did pcm re-flash and updated computer program for vehicle. When i went to pick up noticed a/c fan running at high speed and not cycling off. Dealership kept for two more days only to tell me it new procedure in programming. When ambient temp outside is about 93 or above, a/c fan kicks into high speed and stays on because of high head pressure on the a/c compressor. The problem is that it sometimes never goes off while you are driving. It's loud and presents a hazard because of the noise and the potential fire hazard it presents by overheating the fan motor. Ford tells me they put out a bulletin on the matter that basically says this is the new normal. I told them it's a hazard and an unacceptable fix. Please help me to resolve this issue with ford to fix the matter rather toput a band-aid on it!
2013 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to defective water pump. *ldthe consumer stated the water pump failed at 60,000 miles. The battery became low at 65,000. The guages were illuminated even the vehicle was off. After some research, the consumer discovered the failure was with the switch in the shifter. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 11/15/2017
2013 ford f150 ecoboost supercrew (157" wb) when loaded exhibits pulse/bucking/shaking when taking off from a stop. Noticeably worse as more load is applied. Vehicle is rate with payload of 1500 lbs and it only takes 200-300 lbs in the bed to feel it and when you have 700-800 lbs it literally bucks. Had at dealer multiple times and been in contact with ford tech line who all say that no damage or safety issue exists and to live with it. I paid $42k for this vehicle and now i can't even put anything into the bed to to unsafe starts that are going to leave me stranded. To make matters worse the computer tries to compensate for the vibrations and starts to lower power causing it to not go which is dangerous in left hand turn situations. The tech said there was nothing they could do as ford states these are known issues.
Vehicle would repeat law battery message. Took to dealer battery tests good. Vehicle would sometimes die overnight with a no start condition in mourning.6 dealer visits and one new battery, "no problem found" from dealer.this vehicle could strand you at any time.i have a open case from ford but problem continues.

Yesterday, my truck started fine with no issues, all systems were fine. This morning, 12/13/14, i went to start my truck and my battery was completely dead. I left nothing on and nothing plugged in. I purchased a new battery and it started fine although the remote start (factory installed) no longer works when pressed, the horn blows once and the lights flash twice. I looked out of my window a few minutes ago and noticed that the white instrument cluster lights are on. I went out to make sure my truck was locked, got in, started the engine and shut everything off again but the instrument cluster lights won't go out.
Left turn signal stuck on, right turn signal inoperable.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while at a stop, a fellow motorist informed him that the passenger's side rear brake light was inoperable. Neither a dealer nor an independent mechanic were notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. For example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right directional.it is not possible to merely move the directional lever up (to indicate a right turn) after turning left in one fluid motion.it requires a) holding the lever down to indicate a left turn b) in the middle of that turn, hitting the lever right two times to indicate a right turn. This is contrary to how typical directional levers work.often it is not possible to signal your intentions to other drivers in a timely fashion - or, the driver may hold the lever up, thinking he has engaged the right directional, but has merely disengaged the left.
I have noticed a feature on newer vehicles which i believe is a cause for concern.the feature involves automatic illumination of the dash lights which leads drivers to believe their headlights are on when, in fact, they may not be.i see an inordinately high percentage of vehicles driving without headlights illuminated at dusk and believe this feature could be the cause for at least some of these.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2013 ford f150 xlt began flashing a warning saying service advancetrac. Then it immediately begins flashing shift to park. The truck then begins to downshift causing a rapid slowing of the truck.. When i get to the side of the road to stop i hear metal on metal grinding noises from the engine compartment that i believe is the transmission trying to shift to park... The truck then loses all blinkers and flashers as well as all lighting on the instrument panel. I was able to drive it to a safe location off the road this time.. The truck randomly continues this and its been in the shop several times and they say nothing is wrong with it. I finally got fed up and began video of the dash display in order to document my safety and problems. This truck is 9 months old and has 14000 miles on it. It has done it again and all electrical systems would not reboot and left me stranded for a long time. We have been driving on i95 at 75mph during holiday traffic and it happened again and we literally thought we would be killed because cars had to slam on brakes to avoid our disabled car. It was even scarier since my 6month old daughter was in the vehicle then.we are at a loss because ford has completely ignored the problem and just assumes i will stop making them fix this at some point. I'm in a 1 car family and bought this to accommodate my new baby and have her a safe ride...this problem is dangerous and it is going to hurt or kill someone if its left unaddressed. [xxx] at jim hudson ford service has told me he knows its something wrong with it but ford will not allow him to fix it under the warranty terms for new trucks.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Downshifts into 1st... Still...after the recall appointment.reset, but continues and we have only had the truck a short time. It has almost caused a few wrecks and one with a trailer pulling machinery.we bought this truck to have a newer truck to haul our horses as well, and cannot do that. This needs to be taken care of!we have all ford f 150's in our family and hate to have to change to something else if this cannot be resolved. A new transmission/???is it going to take a death to fix what is wrong??? truck is always in motion and at various times when this happens. No warning, can be fine for days then happens all of a sudden. Street, highway, doesn't matter.and now it's not wanting to come back down after shifting back up from 1st. Not sure what to do now. Can't sell in good conscious to someone, so it sits. Beautiful truck, just bad tranny. Oh, and also, the truck thinks the rear door is open and it's not, which keeps us from being able to lock it as well as the lights remain on for a bit after shutting off (using the battery). Not sure if this has a recall or not.
Both tail light lamp assemblys have stress cracks and moisture is present in one of them.i only have 14000 miles and today the dealer said it's not a warranty item.noticed it around 12000 miles.
Brake reservoir warning light is on - reservoir 1/2 empty. No signs of leaking wiper stays on even if it's off. Instrumental dash dims in and out . Fuel gage reset b does not reset.
The dash lights come on randomly when the truck is sitting with no key in it.the radio stopped working.the heat only works on low and high will not do anything on any other setting.the steering becomes twitchy while driving down the road.
Backing out of my garage i turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and the power steering made a noise and the advance trac warning and hill descent warning came on.as i continued to drive it each time the wheel needed to be turned to the left the same noise would occur and the steering wheel would resist turning.soon the problem increased to be both directions and i took it to the shop and they disconnected something so there isn't any power steering.this could affect someone driving and cause them not to turn.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the headlights bounced while driving. As a result, the drivers view of the road became obstructed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 2,000.
Vehicle will not start when parked on a decline of approximately 8% and fuel level below 1/4 of tank or less than 100 miles on fuel warning indicator.low fuel warning light comes on and vehicle will not start until on level ground.i am not comfortable traveling off-road or in mountains if fuel level is below 1/4 tank as this issue may cause vehicle to stall resulting in an accident or being stranded.
Weather: raining and humid, temp: 73 degrees, speed: 65mph.afterdriving for approximately 40 miles on the highway (using cruise control), i attempted to accelerate and pass a car after coming off of highway onto a secondary road and truck began to surge as if it lost traction.truck decreased power and threw check engine code p0300, light went off and cleared the code.over the next 10 miles i attempted to replicate the issue but was unable to do so.code has not returned.
I was driving at 48-50- mph when i decided to pass a cement truck that was going below the speed limit. As i pulled out to pass the truck everything seemed fine. When i got alongside the cement truck my truck started to hesitateand misfire. The engine light started flashing. I was stuck from going back as another car was behind me,also trying to pass the slow truck. I barely made it past the cement truck as an oncoming vehicle had to swerve into the shoulder to miss me and the vehicle behind me. When i returned home i looked up ecoboost problems on the internet and found numerous other people with the same problem. Thankfully no one was injured or killed today, i believe the it will only be a matter of time before there is a fatality if there hasn't been one already.
3.5l ecoboost engine. Went to merge on highway, pressed accelerator, engine stumbled, pressed further on accelerator, engine stumbled, loss of power, check engine light flashing, violent shaking when trying to accelerate to safe speed on -ramp, light went out after a period of 1 - 2 minutes. Had to pull off side of road to avoid traffic as i was unable to accelerate.this was the second incident for this truck. Ford engineering to my service departmentthat there was no fix but they were aware of the issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150.the vehicle was being refueled when the metal stopper within the fuel tank did not engage and fuel spilled out of the fuel tank.the contact was unable to insert the fuel pump nozzle because the capless entry point was blocked by the metal piece in the fuel tank.the dealer informed the contact to force the nozzle into the fuel tank.the contact did not heed the dealer's suggestion. The contact was planning to have the failurediagnosed and repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 5,500.
Throttle was completely lost.truck would only run around 5 mph maximum.would not take throttle at all.this is a very dangerous condition when in a high traffic and multi lane setting where all the other vehicles are running at high speeds.it is also very dangerous when pulling a 7000 lb trailer with no or extremely limited pull offs for emergencies such as this.it creates a very real possibility of death.this occurred on a local road in fitzgerald, ga traveling straight with light traffic conditions fortunately.i drove the truck in to fitzgerald ford from about 3 to 4 miles away at the above mentioned speed.the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle body, and it was replaced at a cost to me of $248.12.my wife's car also had this problem with the exact same part.it was replaced by the same dealership and paid for by us.my wife [xxx]subsequently received correspondence from ford that indicated the throttle body warranty had been extended, and that cost that we previously paid was refunded to us.her car whichwe still own is a 2010 ford fusion sel.the vin is [xxx].the incident with my truck occurred yesterday, june 24, 2016.the diagnosis, repair and payment for the repair also took place yesterday.is there any difference between the extension of the car throttle body warranty and the truck? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was merging onto the highway while it was raining.in attempting to accelerate to merge in front of a semi my vehicle stated shuttering violently and lost power.i could not get past 40mph.the check engine light was flashing.this was after the truck had been running for two hours.the semi almost rear ended me as i got off the road as soon as possible.i shut the truck off and restarted the engine and it ran fine after that.i took the truck back to my dealer the next day and they could find nothing wrong, not even an error code.the truck has a ford 6 cylinder eco boost engine.
I was driving in heavy traffic, on a downtown street, when the truck suddenly cut off, loosing some braking and steering. The truck would not restart. I pushed it out of the travel lanes and had it towed to my ford dealer. The dealer finds a burnt fuse receptacle for the electric fuel pump. Then i discover they have known about this problem, created a repair kit, but failed to notify owners this is happening. I wonder, if the fuel pump wiring is getting hot enough to melt the fuse holder, but not blowing the fuse, doesn't this cause a problem, why isn't the fuse blowing?. It really looks like a faulty design and needs to be corrected before someone gets hurt, from failing to be able to control the vehicle without power, or the reason the fuse is getting hot, shows up and starts melting the wiring to the fuel pump. Please look into this, it needs to be recalled to fix this faulty design or at least contact the owners so they could have it fixed before this happens. Fords fix was to reroute the circuit to another style fuse, so they know, the original design will not carry this circuit.
While making a left hand turn across traffic i floored the gas pedal and all power was lost almost resulting in a crash. The next time was on the highway while trying to pass another vehicle total loss of power. Unable to pass almost rear ended, luckily able to get off the road. Today november 3rd 2013 9:00 am traveling 40 mph on flat ground clear sky about 45 degrees i floored it and the truck did nothing it did shake alittle and i kept my foot to the floor for about 1/2 a mile and it never regained any power. Then i smelled something burning. No check engine lights ever came on and my fuel economy get worst every day. The truck feels like something is dragging it down all the time. Poor fuel economy mixed with unreliability is going to equal disaster. Ford is lucky no one has been hurt or killed yet.the truck will be towed to the dealer in the morning i simply will not risk my life while ford sits on there thumbs. Fix the problem before someone is hurt!!!!
Vehicle is getting way below estimated mpg.truck is barely getting 16 mpg while the false advertisement says the truck will get 17-21 mpg.this is a brand new truck and has those far shown false advertisement in gas mileage.along with the mpg, when in cruise control the transmission down shifts all the way down to 2nd gear while driving at 50 mpg leaving the rpms at a high rate when it down shift. There is something wrong with the way this truck down shifts in cruise control.this needs to be looked into as this is not the way a 50k plus truck should be driving or the false representation of the mpg that ford has claimed.if i had knew the mpg would have been this bad i would have considered a different vehicle.
While trying to merge into traffic i pressed the accelerator to the floor to get the truck up to the speed of traffic flow.i had no response from the engine for approx 1 to 2 seconds. This put me in a very dangerous situation as i had to get on the brakes hard to slow the vehicle on the on ramp to keep from getting hit by the faster traffic on the highway. In addition the traffic behind me had to rapidly slow down to keep from hitting me.we took the vehicle into the ford dealership on monday 30 sept 2013. This was ruidoso ford in ruidoso new mexico. They checked the vehicle and said there was no problem with it and that they knew of no other problems of this type on 2013 f-150 fx-4 pickup trucks. I am still in the talking stages with them about this problem as i feel they have made little effort to solve it and the research i have done indicates that ford motor corporation is aware of this problem. (this problem has happened to me several times since i purchased this vehicle, i thought that after the break in period, as the truck was new when purchased this problem would go away but it has not. Also this truck does not get the gas mileage that it is claimed to get.
When first accelerating early in the morning the truck accelerates suddenly when 1st taking off. This really became a problem when someone stepped in front of me, the truck took off and then i had to stop suddenly. I have reported to ford and taken it in twice, but they insist no one has had this problem. The motor's rpm fluctuates about 200-300, then settles down.the visibility has been a problem since day one. Ford replaced the wiper blades, but the problem is still there. I have back to the dealer 3 times and all they say is "we can duplicate the problem".
Upon accelerating from a stop 4or 5 loud knocking sounds were heard and felt, and engine power loss was experienced. I let off throttle to reduce knocking sound,which sounded liketurbo wastegate possibly, and engine shook and had reduced power for several miles. Temperature outside was warm and dry. I had been driving vehicle for over an hour before problem. It has had reduced power and minor shaking before,but nothing like this. Fortunately no other vehicles were coming. I do notice wastegate popping off on short,steep hills more lately. I have the ecoboost engine. Have not been to dealer yet, but have appt soon.
I get nowhere near the mileage the sticker has on the window.....states 21 miles to the gal hwy try 15-17.someone needs to do some research this and stop falsely advertising because once you sign your name to that contract ford will not buy it back!
This vehicle stalled out while passing another motorist a few days after we purchased it. We returned to the dealership where it was purchased and we were told by their service department that the truck had a recall on the inter cooler system. We were not aware of any problems occurring with this motor prior to purchasing. The inter cooler was "replaced" several months later and the vehicle still stalls and check engine light flashes without warning. We were told by dealership that no codes are showing up on the truck. The stalling incident has happened 10 times during various driving and weather conditions. We were told by dealership we would "just have to live with it". I no longer allow my children to ride in this vehicle due to the fact that it stalls without warning and i have almost been in a head on collision due to this problem when the vehicle died in the middle of the highway.
Ford f-150 ecoboost loss of power. - trying to pass a semi on the highway when the vehicle stumbled after a downshift, lost power, check engine light flashed, and the vehicle started to shudder. Tried to pull off of side of road but once i was able to get over to the median, the light stopped flashing and the shudder went away as did the light. It was in the mid 60s, i had traveled about 120 miles on the highway at about 70 mph in ohio on i-75 south of toledo. It had been raining off and on all day.
The following occurred in a 2013 f150 platinum with 12,000 miles on it. While accelerating from a traffic light, the car lost power and stuttered and fell into limp mode.you could not drive over 10 mph.this has been just one of many similar incidents.i have taken the car in several times but ford cannot replicate the problem, so they will not fix anything.recently, the car just misfired while driving around 40mph, these incidents occur suddenly then the car recovers.my car is currently in the shop, i will pick it up today, they said they could not replicate the problem, so no service was done.the reason it was in the shop this time?i was driving to work in the morning and the car basically collapsed while driving, almost causing a huge accident, this incident was more extreme than the others and the car was stuck in limp mode for about 5 seconds, the woman behind me almost smashed into me.this is a 50k truck with 12,000 miles on it. This truck is extremely dangerous to drive. Recall!!!!!!
The electronic throttle body failed at 40,000 miles while driving the car in traffic. I had no control over the vehicle speed, as the gas pedal did not respond, and the car slowed to about 5 mph.i managed to get out of traffic without a collision. I checked online and found this is a very common complaint for ford 3.5l engines.my truck has the 3.5l eco-boost engine.
After driving for several hours on the interstate we had stopped to re-fuel. Upon re-entry onto the interstate the truck failed to accelerate, the check engine light came on, the truck was shaking it took 30-40 seconds before normal operation resumed.this is the 3rd time this has happened, twice on of which were on the interstate while attempting to merge into traffic or pass vehicles. All three times the conditions have been high humidity,rain & traveling at a relatively constant speed for an extended period of time.
While driving on the interstate with cruise control set approximately at 70mph, i stepped on the gas to accelerate past a vehicle. The truck did not respond but decelerated and the steering wheel began to shake. The check engine light flashed. I continued to drive and with only slight pressure to the gas to maintain speed. After approximately 5-10 seconds the vehicle regained power. The incident happened a second time, same conditions same results. The ford dealer says its a known problem with parts back ordered. This seems unacceptable if its a know problem. Someone can get in a serious accident at highway speeds if they pulled out in fast moving traffic expecting acceleration to be there.
While driving from wilson, n.c. To swan quarter n.c. In the early morning hours on a fishing trip, i started to pass a slow school bus then my truck start jumping, loosing power and the check engine light started flashing.it almost caused me to have to ditch my truck to keep from hitting another vehicle. It was a very foggy morning and i had been driving at 50 and 55 mph for a long distance before this happened.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. After raising the hood and looking in the fuse panel under the hood, the contact noticed that the fuel pump relay fuse showed signs of melting. The vehicle was taken to ford square of mt. Vernon (1501 broadway st, mt vernon, il 62864, (618) 242-8600) where it was diagnosed that the fuse needed to be relocated. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 66,800. *ln

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle lost power and shut off. The service engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and towed to the dealer (joe cooper ford, tulsa, ok, 918-346-6500) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that controlled the fuel pump burned up. A manufacturer-issued fuse relocation kit was installed to repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start without warning. The vehicle was towed to family ford (30 nj-183, netcong, nj) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that connected to the fuel pump failed and needed to be rewired. The manufacturer was notified and transferred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 38,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to drive home. Upon reaching home, the vehicle would not restart after numerous attempts. The vehicle was towed to gulf coast ford (3000 state highway 288, angleton, texas 77515, (713) 422-7200) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump fuse within the fuse box melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: cas-16321706. In addition, the contact referenced tsb number: 15-0137 as a potential cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,596. *dtupdated 12/20/18
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway of the contact's residence, it failed to start. The vehicle was towed to lithia springs ford (870 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (770) 941-9000) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 137,100.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the after refueling the vehicle, the contact became aware of a fuel leak underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel filler neck was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact reached out to el cajon ford (1595 e main st, el cajon, ca 92021) where the dealer confirmed that they were aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.
The fuel pump fuse (fuse 27) overheats and burns out resulting in the entire truck shutting off at speeds. This happened to me at 65 mph on a highway leaving me with no engine at that speed.
3rd time this has happened, pressed gas pedal to accelerate onto highway. Gas pedal was stuck in down position with engine revving. Held brake to slow it down, picked right back up when let off. No floor mats where near the pedal, and tapping the brake didn't disengage it. Was stuck for several minutes at dangerous speeds
Truck would turn overbut not start , no fuel was making it to spark as fuse for fuel pump had melted into fuel box and damaged it.this is a faulty setup and needs to be address before someones life is taken or injured badly.
A critical 20 amp fusethat gives power to the fuel relay which powers the fuel pumpblewrendering my vehicle in operable. It would not start at all. This is a known issue to ford motor company. They have a tsb also known as a technical service bulletin 15'0137. This "fix" merely relocates the fuse so that the known potential for failure does not melt the fuse housing. This does not solve the problem of why the fuse is blowing. This service is also not covered; as the dealer expects me to pay for the fix. The fuse housing on my truck is melted and chard from the failed fuse . To me this is a safety issue both for the potential of fire and losing propulsion due to the consequential loss of fuel to the engine .
For the second time in 9 months the throttle body on my ford truck failed. This time it presented a real hazard as we were towing our travel trailer and it's failure put us in a precarious situation as we're trying to merge onto the interstate. The ford dealer fixed it the first time under the extended warranty then the second repair they tried to evade payment. However, after extensive discussion, they found a it was covered by the warranty provided on the first warranty replacement.i realize the nhsa is aware of the problem, however the response is inadequate.the problem has not been resolved by ford, the safety risk is still there. Ford seems to be replacing a defective part with the same item. It continues to fail and now it's the consumer is has to pay the price, both having to pay to have the throttle body repeatedly replaced and risking their safety driving the vehicle.
Hesitation stumbles erratic acceleration. Nothing happens when stepping on accelerator then suddenly takes off.
Electronic throttle body failure. This is the second time in 18 months that the etb has failed, causing the truck to go into limp mode while driving.
My truck failed to start, and when i investigated the issue i found fuse 27 (located in the battery junction box at the front of the engine bay) melted causing circuit for the fuel pump to open which left the truck without a functioning fuel system (fuse 27 is part of the circuit for the fuel pump). Replacing the damaged fuse resolved the issue while a more robust solution is determined.if this had happened during operation the vehicle would have lost power, been unable to steer due to an electric assisted steering system and become a hazard for other vehicles while putting the occupants of the truck, and any vehicle that collides with it, at risk for injury or death. Ford issued a technical service bulletin (tsb 15-0137), but this is not commonly known outside of vehicle-specific social media platforms on the internet (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1449733-tsb-15-0137-fuel-pump-fuse.html). Ford knows about the issue and the consequences are obvious. The fix ford recommends is inexpensive (under $30 in parts) and not very time consuming (0.6 flag hours).
While driving my 2013 ford platinum f-150 at approximately 35 mphgoing straight on a town road heading to the highway, the wrench service light came and and instantly putting the truck into "limp" mode only allowing me to drive 5 mph. I am lucky not to be in highway traffic. I did have my family with me heading on a 5 hour journey. Completely unsafe!after a few restarts the same wrench light came on as well as the check engine light. And again the vehicle went into limp mode allowing me to drive 5mph.the grieco ma ford dealer said it was a failed throttle body, vehicle only has 55k miles on it and has been serviced regularly at the aforementionedford dealer!i hope this safety issue gets recalled so no one will ever have to go through the situation like i did ever again!
Wrench (check engine) comes on for unknown reason and vehicle looses all throttle ability! has come on 7 times. Has occurred driving at 25 up to 65 mph.today i was in the fast lanewrench came on and shut down throttle. I managed to cross 3 lanes in traffic. Each time this has occurred i've stopped and shut off the engine. The restarted & runs fine. Taken to ford as well as private mechanics but no codes saved. Has happened 6 times. Ford told me they cant fix without a code.
Electronics in the throttle body cause a computer fault while driving, which results in the engine (3.5 l twin turbo v-6) instantly going into limp mode, where the engine produces no power.this sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous.it happens with no warning.it can happen while attempting to accelerate through an intersection with oncoming traffic.it can happen at freeway speeds where the sudden deceleration can cause a collision, and where there is no place to pull over safely.this fault is very common in ford f-150's and ford automobiles.it has been a problem ignored by ford and the nhtsa for years!it should be the object of a recall!i replaced the throttle body on my f-150 at 75,000 miles.now, 25,000 miles later it needs to be replaced again!this is ridiculous, as well as expensive!please, make ford stand behind their dangerously flawed product!
I had the wrench light come on while i was driving and didn't have much of a problem at first. Then a day later when i was going to work, i turned the truck on and pushed the gas and the light came on and i could not accelerated at all. My rpm's would not climb. I had to let my truck start to go on its own then my gas peddle would finally catch and my truck would go. Later that day i was driving home from work, going about 40mph, and my vehicle went into limp mode. I had to pull over and restart my truck. It did like 3 times on the way home. What i don't understand is how as soon as i start my truck, with it still in park, and hit the gas the light illuminates and the trucks rpms don't work. This is one of many problems i have had with this truck. The a/c is a whole other topic.
I drove my f150 for a short distance of maybe 3 miles, shut it off, entered the post office for approximately 5 minutes, drove the truck across the street for a distance of maybe 1/4 mile, shut it off and went into a business for maybe 5 minutes.upon starting the truck to return home it would not shift into drive.i looked at the instrument panel and saw the rpms to be over 3000.i did not hear the engine revving due to ac blower noise. I checked the accelerator to see if anything was touching it and nothing was near the accelerator. I shut the truck off, restarted, and it performed normally. Other issues: 1) several months ago the radio would not turn on while driving and when i shut the truck off the outside temperature display along with the date/time display was flashing symbols instead of displaying alpha-numeric characters. Upon restarting the truck the display returned to normal and the radio functioned normally. 2) when applying full throttle the engine basically stalls which can be somewhat hazardous when entering an interstate highway with a short entrance ramp and heavy traffic.i mention all of these items because in my opinion they would point to computer issues on the ecoboost.
Driving normal on highway and truck turned off. No power steering. No brakes. No power. Almost crashed with 18 wheelers. Was going 65 on third lane on a 6 lane highway.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle.the acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
Goes into limp mode at intersection very dangerous throttle body
Travelling in 30-35mph zone when all power drops - the dash screen lit up orange with the wrench icon, engine light came on, throttle response was lost which made the truck slow down. I veered over into the turn lane as the truck came to a stop. When it stopped, it was idling very roughly. The throttle was barely responsive... I could only inch forward (even if i floored it), but that's about it. I shut the truck off, waited 10 seconds, turned it back on, and all was well.this has happened 3 times in 3 weeks.i would not want to be on the highway when this happens.
Vehicle engine light on. Code error of p2112. Noble ford service replaced the throttle body and motor assembly.this part is not warranty i found out.it should be as i find it could fault and leave you in a limp mode.not good.noble ford charge $ 338.41 to replace the throttle body and motor assembly.ouch.
Pulling camper onto interstate, accelerated to merge. Truck shook, engine light came on and truck barely made it safely to the next exit. Pepboys replaced #2 coil. Made it the rest of the trip. Unable to tow camper or accelerate normally, as truck shudders and slows significantly in residential and interstate speeds. Ecoboost seems to be an issue with this particular model truck and engine, so i have to take it to ford. I've already had to replace the transmission around 66,000..
Lose power on acceleration while passing on the highway sudden lost of power and engine fail shacking type of feel not noise or warning before events
At or aroung 500 miles on my brand new 2013 ford f150 svt raptor a message come up on the 4.2 incd lcd that read "check fuel inlet". I was at a gas station putting gas in my truck and while i was pumping gas i called harbin ford and spoke with a service rep. And told them what had come up on the lcd. The service rep. Told me to open the back door and look under the back seat on driver side and there should be a white funnel looking object about 6 inches long.i pulled up at my home and parked my truck under our carport which has 2 open walls and another to enter the carport. On the north end the carport is supported by 3 steel poles which holds the carport up which is attached to our house. I placed my truck in (p) park and left the engine running, my mother was outside about 10 feet from my truck. And i thought before i got in my truck that maybe i should try the funnel deal mentioned earlier in this description. So i just opened the back door because the front was already open because i left my truck running and it was in the (p) position but i got the funnel and opened the fuel door and started sticking the funnel in and out repeating several times. And about the 2nd or 3rd time sticking the funnel in and out of the fuel inlet my truck acted like someone had placed my truck in reverse and it started coming in reverse. My mother seen this and she screamed at me to get out of the way and i just seen a opening between the doors and i somehow ended up in the driver seat and i hit the brake and to disbelief i looked at the driver side door and it was almost ripped completely off and the driver side fender was also crinkled up from the door catching on the last pole exiting our carport. I looked over at the auto transmission and the truck was still in park?
After towing truck to dealer after a crank no start, the dealer diagnosed the problem as melted fuse f27 which powers the fuel pump.surprisingly this fuse has melted often enough that ford has a specifically designed rework kit p/n el3z-14293-a which relocates the fuse to a different spot in the fuse box where a physically larger but identical amperage fuse is used.after doing some research, some of the other affected vehicles with the melted f27 experienced stalling while they were driving.others have had to replace the entire fuse box due to melting.it seems this issue has happened often enough that there is an official tsb from ford (tsb-15-0137) as well as the above mentioned rework kit, which my dealer had in stock.based on the work performed (moving the fuse to a different spot in the fuse box and replacing it with a physically larger fuse of the same amperage), it seems that this issue is a design problem.this seems like a potentially dangerous defect that ford is making customers pay to fix.
While driving, including but not always while driving on the interstate during heavy fast traffic, and including but not always while pulling a trailer, the orange wrench light comes on, the truck abruptly enters "limp" mode requiring rapid pulling off the highway in order to stop and restart the engine, and then a dangerous pulling back on the highway from the breakdown lane in heavy traffic. This has been diagnosed as needing a throttle body replacement #bl3z-9e926-b, but i am told by a ford dealer that there are about 3300 others waiting for this part and that they are so backlogged that no delivery date is yet in their system. Rapid, unexpected, and repeated loss of power while driving is very dangerous.
Traveling 50 mph on a 4 lane road when engine shut off. Had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. I was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. The truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. Took to ford dealership the next morning. They said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. Put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot and malfunction. The cost was $250. I asked it there was a recall and they said no. I said someone is going to get killed because this is dangerous. The response was we have been getting a lot of these. I was lucky and was able to get off the road. The next person might not be as lucky. Something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.
Vehicle experiences sudden & rapid power loss, deceleration and vehicle shuttering at highway speeds. Occurs quickly and without any warning, presenting major safety issue as it has almost caused several vehicle crashes.at highway speeds this can result in severe vehicle damage and potential injuries.dealer attributes issue to be with the throttle body and has been a problem on a number of ford vehicles over the last 2 years. I have verified this by internet query.i have not seen or received any notification or recalls from ford on this or any other problems with my truck model.the vehicle in question is a 2013 ford f150 with the eco-boost engine.
I have a 2013 f-150 ecoboost. I was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. I lurched forward in the seat. The speedometer went down and then back up to 50. It lasted all but seconds. I was able to drive home. I have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until i can get it to the garage. Thankfully the road was dry otherwise i would have skidded out of control. I have about 110,000 miles on the truck. This has not happened before. The past few weeks however it has occasionally not shifted out of 1st or has started in 5th gear. This has been sporadic only. Occasionally, when i start off, it will lurch forward. The vehicle has been maintained and has generally been a very good performing vehicle.
Vehicle was moving, was parking in my driveway when it stalled and wouldn't start. Vehicle towed to mullinax ford, new smyrna beach, florida. Invoice # 191885. The wire from the fuel pump/relay overheated and burned the wire and the fuse causing the vehicle to stop. Fors is aware of this problem and even have a relocate kit el3z 14293 a to correct the problem. This should be a recall not a repair paid for by the customer. There is obviously a defect in the design and they even have a kit to correct.
Had the engine studded and drop a cylinder,this is an ecoboost motor,the check engine light started to flash while running rough.it happened as i was passing a tractor trailer on the highway,as i got around him another trailer was coming on behind me,this is when it dropped a cylinder,the trailer almost ran over me.this is a problem with this truck i found out once i did some research,ford needs to do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed.i called the dealer the first time this happened,as far as the studded and he said bad gas keep driving it(59,500 mls). It happened again at 61,381,took to dealer and they did a tsb 14-0017 reprogram,this worked for about a week then it happened again,took it to the dealer 61850mls,they couldn't get it to do it,i picked it up and 20 miles later it did it again,i got it on video this time so theres no questions,seems as though they know about it but are blowing it off, let me get outside warranty then take a look at it.let me tell you if it happensagain, and my family gets hurt i will own ford !!!! thanks for you time.
Ford is aware that on certain vehicles, the fuse controlling the fuel point eventually melts due to the fact that the original location (7) in the fuse bar, is to weak to handle the load going to the fuse.ultimately and at a possible untimely time and location, it kills the fuel point causing potential life threatening non control of the vehicle.see this post: http://www.f150forum.com/f38/2009-2014-fuse-27-melting-issue-372139/index2/ford has only issued a tsb for repairs if it occurs, tsb 15-0137 (http://m.ford.oemdtc.com/tsb/15-0137.pdf)this needs to be a mandatory recall before someone gets killed.while i caught mine early, only due to the aforementioned post, i do not feel safe.
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!
2013 ford f-150 with the 5.0 v8 engine that has 51,000 miles. On numerous occasions the truck will crank as normal but will not start, as well as lose power while driving. Ford road side had the truck towed to summerville ford. Ford service department advised that a fuse form the factory was too small and was overheating causing the truck not to start. The service department told me this is a known/common issue, and the fix was for them to install a fuse relocation kit by splicing into the wiring in the fuse box as well as install a larger fuse. Of course this seems like an engineering/fuse location issue and not a worn out part issue.
Vehicle experiences hard downshift from higher to lower gears while driving at highway speeds on interstate highway, causing rear wheels to skid and vehicle to jerk. Vehicle looses power with rpm indicator on dash showing engine revving at or above 1,500 to 2,500 rpms while driving on local roads and streets.when starting from a stopped position the engine rpms will climb to 1,500 to 2,000 and the vehicle will no move. The wrench indicator has come on 3 times but goes off if vehicle is shut off and restarted.additionally, the vehicle electronic control system does not store any codes to indicate the vehicle has experienced any problems.have taken vehicle to local ford dealer on 4 occasions only to be informed that no codes were present and vehicle did not act up while in their possession.also informed by dealer that unless code is displayed during diagnostic test ford motor will not pay for repairs unless code is displayed.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle cranked, but did not start. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty and relocated the wiring case to the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 88,500.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact shifted into neutral and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure recurred a few miles later. The following day, the vehicle failed to start. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel relay failed and needed to be repaired and relocated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.
The fuel management system blew the fuse.i looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring.they do not simply replace the mini 10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse.when i explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now i have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running.the service manager also told me i was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect.this has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design.the vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway.
While traveling on i70 in colorado and towing a travel trailer the vehicle lost all power. The cause of the problem was a throttle body. I have learned this problem is fairly common with the ecoboost engine and has not been completely resolved leaving those driving these vehicles in danger.
Not getting sticker mpg; took vehicle back and ford milham dealership in easton pa off rt 33 said " there is nothing we can do about it" power steering rack also malfunctioned at 7,000 miles.dealership manager agreed there is an issue with the vehicle. I dropped the vehicle off on a wednesday. Thursday night they called and stated everything checked out and "ford says it's within range". I was also told i will receive a survey online - i never received the email to communicate my dissatisfaction with the vehicle and the dealership. Vehicle now has 10,000 miles and now i get 16 mpg on highway (no city driving).
"fuel fill inlet" my truck recently displayed a warning that says "check fuel fill inlet". I've searched the internet and many ford owners have experience this issue across several models.i've checked the inlet and it is closed as itshould be, i've cleaned the area in and around where the fuel nozel goes and there is no debris. This warning causes the "check engine" light to come on and thus generates an "evaporative emissions" code. The " check fuel fill inlet" warning intermittently doesn't come on and thus the check engine light goes off and i'm able to use my remote start. When it comes on i am not able t remote start my vehicle. My vehicle was stationary, parked in front of my house. I got in to start it and the light just came on. It is not an issue that ford is unaware of and ford owners have had this issue for nearly 10 years.
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
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
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.
Eco boost engine lost power when trying to accelerate and pass. This has happened three times. Ford dealer could not reproducenow and no response from ford. Traveling speed 75 and tried to pass at 85.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the power seized without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage and vin were not available.
Throttle body failed on my pickup while driving. Went into limp mode and engine wouldn't rev up. Had to shut off and restart multiple times in order to make it to the shop. Scanned it and had code p2112 throttle body stuck closed. Replaced throttle body and seems to be ok now.glad i was just putting along when it happened or it could have been a disaster.
We own a ford f-150 3.5 l ecoboost v-6 king ranch pickup truck.truck was purchased in 2014 new.have serious concerns as the vehicle has so many current issues.from day one of purchase and while still in the dealership parking lot, upon start up there was a very loud clattering sound.sales rep said it was because it was cold and it had been sitting.purchased vehicle, had problems immediately with dangerous lag in acceleration (which we still do), an average of 12 mpg if we were lucky and very serious engine misfires withmajor decrease in power accompanied by sputtering whole vehicle shuddering while trying to merge on the highway or with hard acceleration.very dangerous, especially if in the fast lane, which we were.we started to limp over several lanes of traffic to the shoulder and the truck regained power.many misfires like this, all explained to the ford service tech and verified on the trucks computer.so many in fact it was necessary to replace all spark plugs at less than 57k miles.we just picked our truck up today, feb 18th, 2020, after it was in the shop again, this time for 12 days, to fix this misfire problem again and numerous other issues with the front hubs staying locked in 4 wd while in 2 wheel drive and switching in and out, timing chain replaced, and the ecoboost turbo tubes replaced as they were cracked, iwe replaced, and left front actuator.also about 3 weeks ago it had transfer case motor replaced as well as numerous switches, all which did not correct the problems.my husband and i decided to take it on the highway to see if the lag misfire problem was fixed.when he hit the gas there was a screechy sound from the top of the engine, power seriously decreased once again on the highway and the check engine light was back on.i sent an email to ford and auffenberg ford in ref to these continuing problems.
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.
Unintended accelerationdesign defect in vehicles equipped with an electronic throttle control system .
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failures continued. The vehicle was repaired on two different occasions. The vehicle was taken to five star ford lincoln (located at 711 e wishkah st, aberdeen, wa 98520, (360) 533-3673) where it was diagnosed that a fuse needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 77,000. The consumer stated the fuel pump was replaced for the 4th time.
My truck has over 115,000 miles on it now i drive 50,000+ miles a year. I bought the vehicle new 1st occurrence was at appx 50,000 miles i was attempting to pass on interstate the engine stalled started run rough and lost power this corrected it self after i let off the throttle in a few seconds. It did this one more time a few days later. Talked to local dealer asked about fuel filter, they said there was no filter. They recommended running fuel injector cleaner. I did this and continued to do this but engine idled rough at stop signs even in park. It finally did the same thing a third time and then again from a stop sign. I had spark plugs replaced this was at 95,000 miles this helped i did not have the stumble problem again but still idles rough. Finally 2 days ago it was going down road and wrench light came on and vehicle went into limp mode pulled over shut off and restart engine it went into normal mode no problem. I have cleaned the map sensors all three but no help. I did note map sensors are wet. I rear in one of your many complaints about this problem that it may be condensation from inter-cooler this sounds plausible. When it goes into limp it does not throw a code so no way to know what is wrong. I have spoke to my dealer no help. I have not called ford yet. I have rear multiple (100s) of similar complaints a lot of them on your site. Will it take someone dying for you to force ford to fix this. The truck cost over 50,000 i am still paying for it and it is unsafe. I had a nissan with over 300,000 miles and no problems do we need to buy foreign made vehicles to get a good product? will american companies not stand behind their products? i as a tax payer bailed out ford and gm can i not expect a quality made product in return! i guess after someone dies in a crash caused by the f150 stalling on the highway the nhtsa will finally step in an force a recall!!!
While driving on major highway i lost power to my 2013 f150 6.2l. I had a tractor trailer on my right side and a jerk tailgating me.i finally managed to get the vehicle to the breakdown lane.i really thought i was going to be in a major accident.
Model year 2009-2014 f150's have an issue with fuse 27 under the hood getting hot and melting. Fuse 27 is for the fuel pump relay. This causes complete loss of power while driving or a no start situation. Ford has issued a tsb for this issue, but in my mind it should be a recall. If the fuel pump stops, you lose all power no matter where you are, even if in heavy traffic on the interstate. This could also be a fire hazard if the wiring gets hot enough
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle did not start and was not operable. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. The vehicle was towed to len stoler ford (11275 reisterstown rd, owings mills, md) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that runs through the fuel pump was defective due to the fuel wiring harness overheating. A new wire needed to be relocated to another fuse box. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,372.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. Upon researching the matter, the contact found that the fuel pump fuse was melting. The contact called a local dealer (moyer ford sales inc., 10111 state highway 59 s, directions foley, al 36535, (888) 699-3441) but was unable to speak with anyone. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.
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.
Billy cain ford sold a truck to me as low mileage with no carfax damage. Salesman tom chacko promised a carfax report at closing. He failed to produce the report upon delivery to me at work. Tom vowed the truck had no damages. Carfax/auto check showed 4 brake failures and 2 alternator failures. Greene ford verified flood damage 12-11-18. Tom chacko denied their findings 12-12-18, requested written report. Lemon squad documented flood damage 12-26-18. All three reports show consistent flood damage. Jason pirkle warranty/finance manager refused to repair failed emissions stating they were not covered under my extended warranty purchase. The emissions coded 170mi after purchase indicating that code was reset before my purchase. The emissions damage was covered under emissions performance warranty coverage federal mandate. Greene ford gladly repaired the emissions with no issues. Jason pirkle presented the truck to wells fargo bank, state farm insurance, and ford motor warranty division as undamaged value. The truck only has salvage value because of the flood damage. Over $5000 in repairs and 34 days in the repair shop. The truck has massive electrical issues from flood damage. I have not driven the truck since 12-11-2018. Major efforts were taken to deceive the buyer of this truck. If billy cain ford had presented the truck truthfully i would have never purchased the truck. Billy cain ford did a purchase inspection, maintenance service inspection, and complete detail so they had knowledge of flood damage. A registered mail request for buy back was sent to cody cain 1-17-2019 and he not responded to the request. Billy cain ford has not made a honest written offer to resolve this issue to date.
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.
Motor warning light lit up and stayed on. Went to an auto zone and their computer showed fuel vapor leak. I was first told the gas cap may be letting out fumes but i have the capless gas input. The truck doesn't act any different but the warning light was a concern to me.
Truck went in to "limp mode" while accellerating to get on highway. Vehicle decellerated. Wrench light came on. Vehicle was shut down and towed. Found throttle body and motor assymbly defective
The 'check fuel inlet' warning randomly comes on although no debris is in the inlet and the fuel door spring and gasket are in good working condition. The happens randomly when i turn the vehicle on but is occurring more and more frequently.
Purchased new 2013 ford eco pickup. It was advertised and sold to be a high efficient fuel economical vehicle. First time temperatures dropped below 30 degrees f, my fuel mileage drastically dropped. After discussion with dealership, they seemed to be aware of the affect cold air had on its fuel mileage. Prior to cold weather i was experiencing 18 to 24 mpg. As soon as cold weather arrived i was experiencing 12 to 14 mpg. This type of mileage is consistent all through the winter until late spring. Seems the 24 mpg is unachievable anymore. Dealership briefly explained the boosters work best in warm weather. This information was not offered during the purchase process. I even showed them a magazine article written on how fords eco boost had been experiencing lower than advertised mpg. The salesman acknowledged the article and said they had corrected the problem. I was told during a maintenance process, that it had to have 12,000 miles before they could test it for lack of mpg. I had it inspected at 11,800 miles and they claim there is nothing they can do.my advice to anyone purchasing a 150 eco boost expecting good to above average mpg, it will not happen.
We had just taken the exit ramp onto the interstate.as we started to accelerate to highway speed, we suddenly lost all acceleration.we drifted over to the side of the interstate where we sat until a tow truck arrived to bring our vehicle to the dealership.weather conditions were humid, slight drizzle, and a temperature approximately 75^.we have never experienced this problem before, and had no issues today until we started to accelerate.
This is an update to my complaint filed preciously. After the second episode of loss of power and the check engine light coming on. I took my ecoboost powered truck to a ford dealer and they performedtsb 14-0017.this was supposed to fix the engine loosing power. This is why the nhtsa closed the investigation of the f150 ecoboost. This has not worked. Yesterday 11-7-2015 i was on a 2 hour highway trip in rainy conditions. While driving the motor again lost power and could not even maintain highway speeds. This was dangerous to my family and everyone around us. The tsb from ford has not fixed the dangers of these trucks. Please re-open the investigation into this dangerous vehicle before someone is killed or injured. American roads deserve safe cars.
I was driving down a very dangerous highway pass going approximately 65 mph when my engine stalled as random alarms started appearing on my dashboard, then my steering locked from the engine being off. I tried the best i could to get on the shoulder as i had no steering ability and i stepped on the brakes fairly hard. I was lucky because this was the only place in miles with a shoulder. Anywhere else on this road and i could have been seriously injured or died. While on the side of the road i smelled a tiny bit of burning plastic with no problem in sight. I googled what happened on a special forum website for ford raptor owners and others had the same thing happen with fuse 27. Which is for the fuel pump. So i checked the number 27 fuse and sure enough it had melted, i actually had to take it out of the fuse box in melted pieces with pliers. The fuse melted while driving so the fuel pump shut off causing my engine to stall and steering to lock. Many many others have had his happen and ford recognizes it as a service bulletin. However this needs to be more then a service bulletin when someone's life could be taken driving the freeway or dangerous road. We were lucky there was no collision, injuries, or fire, however it could have very well caused an electrical fire and if someone was on a crowded freeway in rush hour a collision is almost certain.
Vehicle power suddenly shutdown while driving down the freeway.after pulling to the side of the road, engine would only idle.engine would not rev up to a higher rpms.vehicle required towing to a repair center.the following 2 issues were found:1.throttle body needed replaced.2.fuel pump electrical circuit was heat damaged.the repair center told me they are starting to see more of these type of issues on these vehicles.the repair center moved this circuit away from the heat source causing the damage.this appears to be a design issue which could pose a safety problem.a recall should be issued for this problem.
Started about 1 1/2 months ago, while driving at speed, vehicle felt like it shifted into neutral. Did not happen again til the next week. Then was taking off at a light and it had no pick up. Took into shop, no codes in computer, topped off transmission fluid. $97. Following week went to pass a vehicle and the truck lost power and started to shake, engine light flashing. Brought back to shop. Still no code, but they changed spark plugs and fuel system flush. $440. Was driving down the road rpm up to 3000, would not change if i pressed on gas or not, transmission shifting from 1-3 in random order. Felt like brakes were locking up. Driving 50 mph, rpm to 5000, speedometer from 50 to zero back to 50, brakes lock up. Pulled over, shut off truck, restarted no problem. Took to dealeri bought from, no codes could not help. Took to ford dealer, said transmission lead frame needs repair $900, and main rear seal leaking badly. Never was i low on oil or had an oil spot. Looked up online several hundred of same vehicle with the same issues. No recall. Ford said nothing they could do because warranty is up and it is not their problem now.
While driving to work today, and making a right hand turn, my vehicle completely shut off. That is, the engine died, the power steering died, and the brakes died while the truck came to a complete stop in the middle of the lane.let me reiterate - the truck completely died in the middle of the road and there was a complete loss of control over the vehicle. Had there been another vehicle, object, or person in front of me, i would have likely collided with them (thankfully the road was empty)research has lead me to find that this is a known issue with ford and the f150 series from years 2010 to approximately 2014. Fuse number 27 in the engine fuse box is undersized from the factory and melts due to the inability to handle the amperage. I found mine melted after today as well. Ford has "addressed" this issue with a tsb (ford tsb-15-0137 see attached) which it charges customers for to replace the fuse and wiring for the fuse with a new, up sized fuse and wires. They do not cover this free of charge unless your truck is under warranty.as this is a glaring safety issue that numerous people have reported, i ask that the nhtsa investigate this and have ford initiate a recall on the affected vehicles, and make the repair free of charge to customers. This issue is a manufacturing flaw and one that has the ability to cause loss of life and property due to failure to control the vehicle.some forums where people have reported the same issue:http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/engine-cut-off-low-oil-pressure-warning-11894/index16.htmlhttp://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/ford-raptor-fuel-pump-fuse-issue-45129/index37.htmlhttps://www.f150forum.com/f12/engine-shots-off-while-driving-402848/http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/31-f150-ecoboost-problems/26113-engine-randomly-died-while-driving.html
Engine would crank but not start. The wrench emblem appeared on my instrument panel computer. The ford dealer said it was the fuse for the fuel pump had actually gotten hot and melted. It seem this is a very common problem with this vehicle. It was sitting in my garage, and would not start.
Vehicle runs great most of the time, but when driving at highway speeds for a couple of hours in the rain, snow, humid or misting conditions, the truck will sometimes loose power and start shaking/stuttering when accelerating to pass another vehicle, or when climbing a hill.most of time, it is a very slight shudder but when under heavy throttle, the engine will start cutting out, loose power and speed, and the check engine light will start flashing.when this happens, i will have to pull over to the slower lane of traffic, or onto the shoulder.after about 30 seconds the check engine light will either go out, or come on solid.it is very frightening when this happens but it has happened enough times that i almost expect it when the conditions are right for it to occur.i have taken it into various ford dealerships as i am usually out of town on vacation when it happens.they have applied all the tsb's recommended by ford motor, but obviosity they can't recreate the issue on demand and apparently can't correct it.this is a very dangerous issue and i would support a total recall of all ecoboost vehicles until corrected.
Truck went into limp mode in traffic and almost had a wreck before i could get off freeway.
While driving on a 4 lane busy street, my truck stopped running.it would not re-start.it had a full tank of gas,would crank over but not start.i had it flat towed to my home.it was determined to not be getting gas.i found a tsb on the problem and i had to pay for the repair from ford. Fuse #27 was too small to handle the current for the fuel pump relay. It was a design flaw and i believe ford should pay for the fix.this could of been more dangerous if i was on the freeway.i called fomoco and was told it was my responsibility. Does ford have any liability ?
While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". I was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. The engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. It was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. The check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. The truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.
Vehicle went into limp mode during wide open throttle almost causing accident on hiway. Problem happened over and over. Found the 100,000 mile spark plugs failed
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.
Upon entering freeway merging traffic i had a hard acceleration .my truck stumbled would not go any faster then 30 mph by then the semi was on my rear causing a serious problem had to pull off to the shoulder .waited a few minutes and the problem seam to go away. This has occurred numerous times.
Fuel pump control module fuse burned out (fuse #27) and truck stopped running while on freeway without any warning.
Just outside of 60.000 mi warranty truck threw a code p2112. Paying for it out of pocket i bought new tac unit and installed and cleared code truckran fine up till 144.ooo mi .then began clattering upon 1st start up after sitting several hours .they said that it needed new timing set and tensioner. I bought and installed and replaced all timing componants. Truck also began showing codes p2112 again and will only cut out while vehicle is in motion and under a load ..cylcle key and will start and drive a block and repeat only this time it throws the p2112 code and as long as the check engine light is on the truck wont stall as before.
Throttle body errors p2111. Vehicle suddently stalls and shutters.recall issued for other ford vehicles with this exact problem. F150 ecoboost also needs to be included.this almost causes my family to be in an accident.vehicle was traveling 32mph and coasting at the time.lost all acceleration
Fuel pump malfunctions causing truck to dangerously stall out at highway speeds
Electronic throttle body continues to fail causing the vehicle to go into limp mode.this has occurred on 2 separate occasions. The first was in july of 2016. Replaced the etb through the dealership. It is now failing again.
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.
Takata recall 3.5l ecoboost engine shudders at various times, stalls while driving at freeway speeds during acceleration (extreme hazard), in traffic (hazard), stalled when stopped quickly while backing, then crank no start after stall.
Fuel pump fuse melted causing truck to lose power while on freeway. Very dangerous.
While in motion driving, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifts into first gear causing control issues. This happens on the highway as well as city streets.
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 fineand 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.
Under hard acceleration.the vehicle's speed was stuck at about50 miles per hour.i could to stop the vehicle with my brakes,i was able to put it the gear in the n-position pump the gas petal and the engine rpm went back to normal. Then i but the gear back to the d-positionand was able to continue
Fuse #27 burnt up and vehicle would not start because that fuse controls the fuel pump.this issue was addressed in tsb 15-0137.incredible to believe that something this simple has not been a recall for driver safety.vehicle luckily was not in motion when it happened.this most likely would not be an item located in a vihicle incident....so there is a good chance you have no idea how many deaths this has caused.
Driving in traffic friday of the long memorial day weekend, traveling at 75mph, no warning my f150 stalls. Finally get pulled all the way to the shoulder. After sitting for an hour and getting help, it was found that the fuse for the fuel relay had melted. 50 cent part could have caused a deadly crash! why is there not a recall on this? mechanic that worked on my f150 said this is about the 12th one he had worked on. I also see that ford has issued a tsb on this exact same problem.
Fuel pump fuse melted and i was doing some online research to try to find out the cost of part and repair, and notice a lot of ford owners having the exact same issue with the 2013 ford f-150
I went to start the vehicle and it would crank b ut not start. I found that a very common problem with this truck is the fuel pump fuse. I located this fuse and found that it was in fact blown, and melted in half. Ford has created a repair for this, because it is such a common problem, but has not issued a recall. This needs to be repaired by ford for the customers at no charge.
The truck shifts into emergency mode while driving and i have to pull overand stopshut off vehicle and restart. While in idle the vehicle shakes.it is at the ford dealer in beatrice nebraska and they have stated that the electric throttle body needed replaced... 400$ repair.also, air conditioning compressor went out 1500.00 repair on a 2013 vehicle!
This occurred on a rainy hot day southbound towards cape cod.i was driving my second 2013 ford f150,both of which have the ecoboost engine.i attempted to pass on a two lane road,and upon acceleration the engine began to shutter, engine light came on, engine lost most of its power,and vehicle slowed dramatically.after approximately 20 to 30 seconds the engine began to return to a normal operating mode. Had there been oncoming traffic,i would not be writing this.as i said, this is my second ecoboost,and i thought that ford would have fixed what is clearly a potentially fatal flaw with this engine.i had the same issue occur twice before in my prior ecoboost f150.i brought the truck to a dealer today for another minor issue and asked that the ecoboost issue be addressed,but that request was rejected by the dealer,whom sighted ford policy.clearly there is a pattern of failure on these engines,and just as clear it appears there is an effective and economical fix,based on my personal research of available information on line.it is unexplainable why ford would not get in front of this issue before there is a fatal accident.
Takata recall, my timeline on 01/12/2018 i took my 2013 to goodyear to get 100,000 miles service. I had cooling system flush, rear differential drain and refill,transmission fuild exchange and replace platinum spark plugs at time of service odm was at 10205. On saturday 01/13 transmission shift was not smooth, i took tuck back to goodyear. I was told that all checked out good, but another quart of transmission fluid was added. I drove truck on local street and on highway no trouble. On tuesday 01/15 when i left home running errands truck took hard shift. I took truck to goodyear, i was told that technician drove truck no trouble found. On wednesday 01/17 i left house two times. First time out no trouble. Second time out i went out on my way back home truck hard shift several times. Then there was a sound like a buzz saw. Both trips where to the same location less than 4 miles round trip. On thursday 01/18 i called goodyear spoke with original service manager told him of trouble i wanted him to take a ride with me. We did he felt hard shift in transmission and heard buzz saw noise even dough sound was faint. He suggested and gave me a coupon for a free diagnostic test at aamco. I took truck to aamco on thursday 01/18 left truck over night. I picked up truck on friday 01/19, aamco found no trouble. On my way home truck was performing like it was before i took truck to goodyear. I was feeling good again about my truckthen there was a unsmouth shift. Several miles later a loud buzz saw sound. This is saturday morning i am going back to goodyear and see what should be my next move. Again i had no trouble with truck before i went to goodyear. If i had transmission trouble i wouldn't have gone to goodyear to have it fixed.
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.
Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program.vehicle i feel is not safe.
This is related to tsb 15-0137.although my vehicle has not failed yet, many have.my fuse #27 shows signs of melting and i will have to replace it with a larger fuse and heavier gauge wire at a cost of about $150 (including labor).it is a safety issue, as my daughter drives this truck with horses in tow.on several forums i have read that the engine shuts off while driving due to failure of the fuel delivery system.no power steering or brakes, which is a real problem with a 120 pound 20 year old at the helm with a horse trailer!the truck has just over 100,000 miles on it.this is a known ford defect that causes a safety issue, and ford should be paying this cost so that there is no financial impediment to safe operation of the vehicle within its planned useful life.
When driving on freeway, check engine light came on and there was a loss of power.i pulled off the freeway and the engine stalled.there was a total loss of power and the vehicle would barely move forward when the gas pedal was depressed.the vehicle was towed to a ford dealership where they reprogrammed the turbo-charger. It was raining at the time of this incident.on 9/14/15 the vehicle again had a catastrophic engine failure.it was not raining at the time of this incident.the vehicle shook violently and had a total loss of power.the wrench symbol and the check engine light came on.the vehicle would barely move forward when the gas pedal was depressed.the vehicle was towed to a ford dealership where they replaced the "throttle body".ford made both repairs under warranty, but they refused to reimburse us for our towing, hotel and rental car expenses incurred as a result of our vehicle breaking down.
I purchased my 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost in december 2012. The first incident occurred in approximately march 2013. It was raining. I was accelerating from a stop light where i had made a complete stop. I could not gain speed very well. The engine light was flashing. The engine was sputtering/popping and the whole truck was shaking violently. The same has occurred ever since on more than a dozen occasions and at various speeds. However, each time was while it was raining. Never has had a problem in fair weather. I experience a total loss of power, many times when on the interstate or while trying to overcome a vehicle. The front-end lurches, i lose speed dramatically, the engine shakes violently when i accelerate. The engine sputters and sounds like it doesn't know whether to choke out or blow up. The engine light flashes for approximately 1 minute each time. Almost sounds like a misfire. Happens several times during one trip often, but always when it rains. Continuous occurrences and beginning to become more frequent. Have taken my truck to 2 dealerships, neither of which can detect any dtcs or any other problem. Offer no advice other than to keep driving it until the engine light stays on permanently. They have no idea what causes the problem. I am really afraid that the problem may result in a motor vehicle accident. Have not had one yet, but have a had a couple of incidents where i had to pull over to avoid an accident. Problem is so persistent that i am considering trading vehicles, especially since i have been offered no remedy for the problem. I have also filed a complaint with ford motor co. On 07/30/2013.
Loss of power when i accelerate.i feared for my life, when i was merging on to the highway and a semi-trailer almost rear ended me because i could not accelerate to get up to the speed limit.
With a hard acceleration the truck blogged down & the engine service light came on. I thought the engine shut off so i pulled it down into 1st gear & it took off again. Still sputters like there is water in the gas or something. Light will not go off. Pretty dangerous in heavy traffic. It actually didn't have any power what so ever. Pretty scary. I read there were several complaints of the same situation. Why has ford taken care of this as a recall?
Vehicle lost power when trying to pass another vehicle. Note i was in a 75 mph area trying to pass a vehicle that had trash flying off truck.in any case when i punched the accelerator the vehicle did a nose dive as it lost power. It took about 2 seconds for the vehicle to restore to normal operation.
At times my 2013 f-150 would kill and other times would be non responsive at idle while traveling. The first time it happened was while i was trying to merge onto the interstate, while merging onto the 70mph interstate the truck immediately lost power after driving over an uneven area of asphalt; however 3-4 seconds later the throttle response returned tonormal. Weeks go by and i am traveling across 22 mile causeway bridge which has no shoulders, as i am accelerating to pass a car the truck stalls, no throttle response, within a few seconds it is back running normal. The battery warning light came on after for30 seconds to a minute then went off. I had the battery and alternator checked and both tested fine. The truck runs fine for a few weeks and then it stalls again while merging on the interstate or while passing another vehicle.the last time i was driving home in a heavy rain storm at night busy area of interstate and it completely stalls in panic i am pushing on the accelerator hoping i can make it to the shoulder cars behind me sliding all over the road trying to avoid hitting me and my family; we are finally safe on the shoulder of the road, the truck would turn over but would not start, check engine light was on and obd codes p0201, p0202...., actually a code saying open circuit for every injector. Called a wrecker service to have the vehicle towed to closest ford dealership. The dealership diagnoses the problem as fuel pump fuse has melted the connection in the fuse panel. Its a" ford tsb-15-0137 " ford even sells the part to fix this problem. How can a company acknowledge they have a problem because hey specifically made another part to fix the problem but not be held responsible. I had to pay the tow service, rental car, and the cost of parts and labor, for a problem that as i googled tsb-15-0137 a lot of 2013 ford f150 owners are experiencing.
Fuse #27 for the fuel pump is burning up on one side.engine stalls intermittently.will not restart for a while after.
I purchased my 2013 ford f 150 v8, 6.2l raptor about 6 months ago for the main purpose of hunting very remote areas here in maine.about 1 month ago, i utilized the remote start to start the truck and drove to work.at noon that day, i went to start my truck, it would turn over but not fire.called aaa, they checked the battery which was fine and then placed key into door to unlock and engine fired up.then about a week ago, during hunting season, i drove the truck into a gas station, filled the tank, i went to start the truck to leave and the same issue occurred.i ended up taking the cable off of the battery, then reattached and the engine fired up.i brought the truck to ford, they stated that they diagnosed as as known problem.the fuse to the fuel pump will need to be diverted.i told ford that i was heading north to hunt the next day, they recommended strongly that i get the issue fixed asap, said they could get part and have the issue remedied the next day.i set up the appointment.ford just called and said the part was on backorder, they can't get it until nov 30.hunting season ends nov 27th.
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.
We bought our 2013 f150 xlt 4x4 v6 flex fuel at denham ford in wetaskiwin alberta. We traveled across country to ontario. We have continued to drive it. Approximately 9000 kms for mileage our truck has steadily lost acceleration power. Going up burlington skyway and garden city skyway (100 km/h major highway) truck struggle to maintain 60 km/h uphill with pedal to the floor! had instrumental panel problems improper display of amount of gas or distance to e. Driveshaft constantly clunking and transmission slippage. Ford refused to replace after towing of problems and constant call ins to customer service. Took to local dealer and 7-8 technicians stood round scratching head replaced fuel pump did not make a difference. Ford ask for payment 558.08 we not have funds as all of our money going into gas to repair truck and false reading on panel and ford refused to help us. We felt used and scared of being rear ended by a semi was not safe. Did diagnostic no codes. Beyond code problem. First known problem in north america...huge lemon.
Throttle body problems.i have2015 f-150 ecoboost and for the 2nd time in 14 months have had to have my throttle body replaced.the engine dies while accelerating on the highway typically between 55-70mph and the wrench comes on.i have the coast the car off the side of the road avoiding speeding traffice, bring the car to a stop on the side of the highway and then turn the car off and on and it works.i've had it happy as many as 19 times on one trip.
Driving on a city street the truck started shaking and loss all acceleration, it showed a wrench on the dash screen, coasted to a safe place and turned truck off. It restarted fine. Approx 30 mins later on the highway it did the same thing, started shaking, no acceleration and the wrench showed up. Again coasted to a safe spot and restarted. Took it to the dealer the next day and they say nothing is wrong, but that it could be the etb but with out a code showing they cant do anything.
Truck went into limp mode upon acceleration due to faulty throttle body-while pulling onto main highway with a speed limit of 50 mph, truck stalled. Fortunately, i was able to coast to the side of the road and avoid a rear end collision.this happened three times in two days and produced an obd code on the third occurrence.i turned the truck into my local ford dealership and they replaced the throttle body under my extended warranty.since this has been a known problem for ford in the model years prior to 2013, this should have been covered by a recall.
I was accelerating up a hill at approximately 50 mph when a rapid deceleration occurred. I had to quickly merge onto the shoulder in order to avoid being hit from behind.i then shut off the vehicle, waited, composed myself, restarted the vehicle, and drove safely to work. I did, however, have the "check engine" illuminate on my way home and seemed to sense some stiffness in the brakes. This should not happen in a vehicle with 8000 miles on it.
Upon excellaration and while cruising at higher speed's my vehicle will down shift automatically from 6th gear to third gear causing my rear wheels to lock. I receive a wrench sign on the display the speedometer stops working, the drivers air bag light comes on and the vehicle stays in this gear until i stop and turn off the vehicle and turn it back on. Also at times while driving the vehicle will shift on it's own while driving a constant speed from 6th gear to 4th gear, to 5th gear and back to 6th all while driving at a constant speed.
Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinderengine. Has been numerous reportswith others but ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but i'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks nhtsa.
Ford's ecoboost turbo has leak and needs to be replaced. Acceleration has decrease power and causes delay before acceleration finally kicks in.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact noticed a burning odor and towed the vehicle to future ford lincoln (650 automall dr, roseville, ca 95661, (888) 656-7577). The dealer repaired a fuel pump and wiring that was heat damaged. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would call the contact back. The failure mileage was 49,000.
The backup camera displays incorrectly for example, if a wall or a object is on my left side when i look at camera display on the monitor the wall or object appears in the monitor on the right side. It's like the camera is in reverse
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the door locks on the vehicle failed and could not be unlocked.the door was able to unlock the next morning. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The dealer (kirk auto company, 235 sw frontage rd, grenada, ms 38901) was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 81,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While attempting to open the rear driver's door, the contact could not open it from inside the vehicle. The contact indicated that the rear doors were designed to only be opened from the inside. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (jim shorkie ford, 1234 long run rd, white oak, pa) where it was diagnosed that the entire door latch assembly would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,002.
2013 ford f-150 ecoboost 6-cyl with six speed transmission. A few weeks ago i received ford recall 19s07, stating that the vehicle may unexpectedly downshift to 1st gear increasing the possibility of an accident. It also stated that the software needed to correct this condition was not expected to be completed for several months and that i would be notified when it was ready. Since receiving the recall notice, the vehicle experienced the issue noted in the recall. This happened while my 17 year old was driving on a two-lane road at 55mph - the vehicle downshifted without warning, causing the vehicle to skid abruptly, nearly throwing him against the steering wheel. We immediately took it to the dealership and they said 5th gear was cracked. The dealership told me i would be responsible for the repair and that it would cost between $3500 and $5000. I contacted ford via their website to tell them that i should not be responsible for this. I was told the vehicle was out of warranty and that if i had issues i should communicate with the dealership. The vehicle remains at the dealership because i'm assuming it is not safe to drive until repaired.
I have been having same issue as everyone else , as my 2013 f150 has shifting up and down erratically. Driving at steady speeds and all of a sudden shifts up and down from 1st to 5th and 6th gear and back down again suddenly and unexpectedly.which as everyone else has stated it is a major safety problem and ford is not standing behind their product. Ford knows of this problem as they have recalled certain years but not 2013 which is apparently just as much of an issue , now that i have taken my truck in for service it will my responsibility to pay at least $1000 to repair maybe more if more problems are found. This is not an isolated problem as there is an issue that spans many years and models of vehicles. The consumer should not have deal this as this a manufacturing issue that has spanned years and many models and is a major safety issue for me and that unsuspecting victim in traffic accidents.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). While driving 40-45 mph in fourth and/or fifth gear, the vehicle downshifted into first gear and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to long-lewis ford lincoln (2551 john hawkins pkwy, birmingham, al 35244, (205) 989-3673) where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs, boots, and timing needed to be adjusted. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the recall software remedy was not available. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: cas17397322. The contact was informed that the regional customer service representative would call him. The failure mileage was 94,000.
Experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output. Depending on vehicle speed at the time of the downshift, an unintended downshift into first gear may occur causing the rear tires to slide or lock up until the vehicle slows. This may result in a loss of vehicle control without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.code p0731 when the code p0731 is set in the powertrain computer, it means that the powertrain computer or pcm is seeing greater than a specified rpm difference between the rotational speed of the input rpm sensor and the transmission output rpm sensor in gear 1.code p0732 when the code p0732 is set in the powertrain computer, it means that the powertrain computer or pcm is seeing a greater than a specified rpm difference between the rotational speed of the input rpm sensor and the transmission output rpm sensor when the vehicle is in 2nd gear.code p0733 when the code p0733 is set in the powertrain computer, it means that the powertrain computer or pcm is seeing a greater than a specified rpm difference between the rotational speed of the input rpm sensor and the transmission output rpm sensor when the vehicle is in 3rd gear.
3.5l ecoboost engine. Went to merge on highway, pressed accelerator, engine stumbled, pressed further on accelerator, engine stumbled, loss of power, check engine light flashing, violent shaking when trying to accelerate to safe speed on -ramp, light went out after a period of 1 - 2 minutes. Had to pull off side of road to avoid traffic as i was unable to accelerate.this was the second incident for this truck. Ford engineering to my service departmentthat there was no fix but they were aware of the issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle shifted into first gear on its own, the brakes seized, and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to four seasons ford (601 duncan hill rd, hendersonville, nc 28792, 828-693-4281) where it was diagnosed that the output speed sensor failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,596. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle shifted from fifth to first gear without warning. The contact scheduled an appointment to have the vehicle repaired by a local dealer (kelly ford: 420 cabot st beverly, ma 01915). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,667.
Transmission in the truck started shuddering while driving several times. Also lost power when pulling into traffic. Wrench light came on dash and all gauges zeroed out. Took to vehicle to dealer and they advised was a po722 trans lead frame issue. The same issue ford has had with 2011 and 2012 trucks. Paid $800 to have it fixed while owners of 2011 and 2012 fords are having their same issue fixed for free.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while merging into the highway, the transmission warning lamp illuminated as the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 4,400.
When driving down the road, the truck lost speedometer reading and automatic transmission began shifting erratically.tranmission shift lever was moved to manual with no change in behavior.this resulted in an unsafe emergency stop on the side of the road during heavy traffic conditions. Condition reset only after truck was turned off and back on.problem repeated itself on drive to dealership.dealership determined it was transmission lead frame and replaced it.was informed that my truck build date was just outside of the recalled date window so i paid the $870 for the repair.
Driving down the tollway at 75 mph when the truck suddenly dropped down into third gear and then to first gear.
Re: 19n01 transmission molded leadframe. The recalls that ford did provide for my vehicle only included software updates that did not prevent the issue. When this failed my truck went from travelling 45 mph in 6th gear to suddenly shifting to 1st gear. I had my family in the vehicle and i was barely able to avoid having an accident. The issue was not covered by for because i was outside of the warranty coverage. This is unaccceptable because the software updates provided did not prevent this from happening.
The transmission will down shift into a 1st or 2nd gear unexpectedly.this has happened several times while moving at 40 to 50 mph.also the transmission will up shift and downshift randomly causing the vehicle difficult to control.when this happens the speedometer will jump around and sometimes completely shut off.when the truck is turned of then turned on again the gauges will work again.
Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and i had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 mph to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 mph and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See ford tsb 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 f-150's too.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shook as the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle felt as if it were in neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (taylor ford, 13500 telegraph road, taylor, mi 48180), but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. He manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.
Today my wife was driving my truck with our two kids down interstate i79 at 70 miles per hour and the truck shifted itself too first gear locked up the rear tires and about made them wreck. I had too leave my job to get them off the side of the road and drive my truck back too work this is not only a issue but it could get someone seriously hurt
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) was received. After contacting pugmire ford (352 n. Tennessee st, cartersville, ga) and the manufacturer, the contact was informed that the part was not available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.*as
One of the current recall issues. At any speed transmission shifts from whatever gear it's in to 1st gear. Happened to me at 70mph. Ford is aware issue. Will not have a fix for 2 to 3 months. They still recommend driving vehicle even though at any time this could happen. They offer no rental or loaner support. If you keep driving vehicle this way it will also ruin transmission but they will not fix it.
Vehicle down shifted into first gear causing the wheels to lock up.i was doing 75 mph on the highway
Was accelerating entering interstate i95 north bound from an on ramp and suddenly my vehicle lost power and began to stall and shutter.the truck rapidly lost power plus speed and a tractor trailer truck almost ran in to the back of me.i dealt with this issue for the remainder of my 500 mile trip to nyc (and still dealing with this issue today now weekly bases).once back home i took the truck to the dealership who was aware of misfire issues with my truck model (apparently it is known by the manufacturer that the truck stalls and misfires issue and said i had all the latest updates however still today i experience stall and misfire mainly under hard acceleration.lately the issue has worsen and i am told by the manufacturer that there is nothing that they can of will do about it until they come up with a fix.this vehicle is a major safety risk period.i have asked the manufacturer over and over to correct the problem however they simply told me they don't have a fix for is as of yet. I am asking that you look into this and investigate my concern please don't wait until someone god forbid loose their life because this is a major safety concern.we need to be more proactive than reactive.the ford f150's equipped with the turbo eco boost engine is a major safety hazard it is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt and loose their life before something might be done - that is the sad part.please i beg you to look into my concern and follow up asap.just last night my vehicle stalled i have to constantly drive it cautiously. I only have less than 14,000 miles on the vehicle because i am scared to drive it - i don't want to sell it to no one else because i would feel bad knowing the major safety issues this vehicle has - i just can't bring myself to putting someone in a vehicle that could hurt them.please get behind ford and investigate this issue.
My truck suddenly downshifted from 6 gear to 1st gear, and almost caused me to crash. I looked online to see if other 2013 ford f150 owners have had this happen to them and saw there was a safety recall on my truck (nhtsa recall #19v-075). On 1/6/2020 i took my truck to tomball ford dealership and they confirmed i needed the repairs listed in recall 19v-075. The service advisor reached out to ford to make sure the repairs would be covered free of charge. I was then informed that ford denied my claim and would not offer any assistance toward the recall, due to my truck having 154,000 miles. I was then charged $1,328.31 to have the repairs performed by tomball ford.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle downshifted on its own. The contact continued driving to a complete stop due to heavy traffic. The contact switched into neutral and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off, restarted, and operated normally. The contact stated that the same failure occurred previously and the yellow wrench warning indicator illuminated. The contact turned the vehicle off and restarted it again. The dealer and an independent mechanic were not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
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."
After the first incident with sudden down shifting of my transmission, i took my truck in to my local ford dealership. I was informed that a new programming fix was available for the active recall. The "fix" was completed, and now about 3 weeks later the truck continues to downshift suddenly. Not only sudden downshifting, but during acceleration the transmission seems to struggle shifting out of first gear. My truck only has about 57k miles.
While in motion (60mph) going down a highway, the truck shifts from 6th gear to 1st gear without warning.
I have open recall with no remedy available. One dealer did repair when there is no remedy available!!! another dealership confirmed about no remedy and no way to fix it. Now ford giving me hard time with buyback because if that 'repair' by their dealership. I attach info
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.
I am having the issues described in rq17010.somewhat frequently when slowing down to a stop or driving at slow speeds (i.e. In parking lots) i will experience a harsh downshift in to 1st gear which will cause the rear end to slide if it's slippery out.
Extreme loss of power when accelerating, and violent engine vibrations during the process, lasting for about one minute and then everything goes back to normal operations. This is extremely unsafe and dangerous given the situation.
Truck was having issues with randomly disengaging from cruise control, loss of power from a stop, and erratic downshifting.on the highway the cruise control would disengage, speedometer would go to 0 then back to its actual speed.from a stop sign/stop light, when the light would turn green the truck would spit and sputter, shifting erratically, rpm would go up but no power.when cruising around 45mph truck downshifted for no reason causing a loud clunking sound, this happened twice consecutively.took is to simmons rockwell to get it diagnosed, after i had already researched the issue and knew what it was, and they replaced the molded lead frame in the transmission.this was exactly the issue they had that caused the recall on the 2011/2012 models.the repair cost was @ $500.i was just reading an article which stated that the nhtsa may order another recall which would include the 2013 model.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph and attempting to apply the brakes, the gear downshifted on its own. Also, the wrench symbol and check engine indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was coasted over to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was towed to plaza ford (410-838-3100, located at 1701 bel air rd, bel air, md 21014) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) was only for the reprogramming of the power train control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.
Transmission shifted erratically into first gear at speed while pulling into busy traffic on highway 280, stalling and revving rpms, causing me to swerve into the turn lane to avoid oncoming traffic. Local ford dealership (earnest mccarty) is replacing the control module that was already recalled in 2016 on 2011-2012 f-150s (approximate cost $700).
Sometimes vehicle will start or get stuck in 5th gear either from the start or during deceleration. Engine revs, but forward motion compromised. Intermittent sudden downshifting at highway speeds. Gear indicator and tramsmission position will drop to 1st. This causes the rear wheels to lock up at highway speed and put the vehicle into a spin.paid ford dealership to complete tsb lead frame repair in april 2018.problem has gotten worse.opencase with ford fleet service 15493350-j0v7c7
2013 ford f-150 traveling 65mph all of a sudden will down shift to first gear causeing the vehicle to almost instantly stop in traffic!ford had a recall on this issue but will not assist with fix since my vehicle is not under the recall! told me to go to dealer to get a $120 diagnostic, but once it happens the codes clear 60 seconds after and can not be found at dealership. So ford basically told me to keep driving it till it happens again and hope i'm near a dealership
Eratic downshifting, transmission sometime would shift to a low gear while at highway speeds, causing tires to lock up. Vehicle also would get stuck in high gear making acceleration from a stop in an active roadway impossible as car would not move
I was driving in humble while it was raining and i accelerated to get over to the next lane. When i tried to accelerate my truck started to lose power and the engine light started blinking and the engine shuttered. I then let go of the gas pedal and pulled over and killed the truck. When i cranked the truck bank on the engine light was off and the truck drove fine.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to repair the vehicle. Webb ford (9809 indianapolis blvd, highland, in 46322) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
While attempting to pass a semi truck after driving a constant speed of 65 in arizonas humid monsoon season, under hard acceleration my f150 had a sudden loss of power along with a very strange shudder and loud revving sound. After i let off the accelerator and pulled behind the semi i was attempting to pass (due to on coming traffic), the truck ran normal. The dealership was unable duplicate the issue. The conditions were different the day of test drive and the truck was not driven at highway speeds for nearly as long. This could be a very serious issue that needs resolved immediately.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train). The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle downshifted from 4th gear to 1st gear independently, without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle slid into a ditch. The contact sustained no injuries. The vehicle was towed to ted russell ford lincoln (8551 kingston pike, knoxville, tn 37919) however, the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 197,000.
While traveling at highway speed on i-69 in michigan between lansing and flint, i attempted to merge into the passing lane to allow merging traffic from the on-ramp onto the expressway.in order to change lanes, i used firm acceleration to avoid contact with the faster vehicles in the passing lane.the steering wheel started shaking violently while the check engine light flashed.all forward acceleration was impossiblethe engine sputtered for 45-60 seconds after the event until power was restored.one week after i took delivery of the truck, this problem began on a similar trip on the way to toledo around the dundee exit on i-23.the vehicle only had 400 miles on it at the time.this was in early may 2013.i took the vehicle to the dealer who performed the tsb replacing the charged air cooler and updating the software in the engine control module.this can be repeated on any trip of significant duration on a rainy day.the tsb did absolutely nothing to address this problem, and i fear for my safety as well as my family's safety.i do not let me wife drive the car because she would not be as well equipped to deal with an event like this.i feel cheated by ford, and i am not satisfied with their attempts of fixing this.furthermore, i know every time this happens the engine is taking in large amounts of water through the intake, and this is catastrophic for engine life and longevity.please pursue recall efforts now on this horrible engine.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The failure recurred once. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000.
While driving at constant speed on the highway at approximately 70mph, truck spontaneously downshifted into a drastically lower gear (from 6th gear to 1 or 2).vehicle rear tires chirped/squealed and vehicle lurched due to engine braking effect vs. Current speed.speedometer needle waved wildly during this event (+/- 30mph back and forth). Condition appears identical to recall symptoms on 2011-2012 truck of same make/model/build location.no accident occurred as a result of this malfunction, but would have had another vehicle been nearby (temporary loss of control and rapid loss of speed).a case was opened with ford corporate on 10/30/17.both ford corporate and dealer service refuse to acknowledge that any issue is present since the technician was unable to duplicate malfunction.when informed that further use of the vehicle without resolution would unnecessarily endanger myself and my family, neither representative offered any further steps toward resolution.several similar issues appear to exist with identical vehicles base upon simple internet searches.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the service warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to ted britt ford (11165 fairfax blvd, fairfax, va 22030) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,500.
My ford f150 with 6r80 automatic transmission vehicle frequently loses vehicle speedometer reading - the display drops outs to zero mph and rough & dangerous downshifts often results even at freeway speeds @ 75 mph. It has happened many times beginning summer of 2017 with stored pcm fault codes still present.
At 60 mph on 6/22/2019 this vehicle dropped to second gear causing me to lose control.this vehicle was recalled (ford 19s07) and dealer repaired on 3/26/19 prior to the above event.obviously the recall "fix" doesn't work.
In october transmission had a couple of hard shifts. *dt
When driving 45 mph or more the transmission will sometimes stall or downshift and slow down vehicle.the vehicle jerks and hesitates.
My 2013 ford f-150 xlt with 71,000 miles is having transmission issues and problems with shifting and completely losing power while driving. This issue has started intermittantly about a month ago. While i'm driving, a giant wrench appears on the dashboard which is then followed by loss of power and acceleration. The vehicle is then stuck into a single gear and the speedometer and mileage computer go blank so i no longer know how fast i'm travelling. My vehicle issue seems very similar to the 2011-2012 ford f-150 transmission downshifting recall from below.'federal safety regulators are investigating whether to reopen and expand a previous ford recall by more than a million vehicles for unexpected downshifting.the initial 2016 recall affected more than 153,000 ford f-150, ford expedition, lincoln navigator and ford mustang vehicles from the 2011-12 model years. A second recall would increase that number to an estimated 1,375,577 vehicles affected, and expand into the 2013 model year."
Ford has yet to fix my recall. I drive 100 miles everyday and have almost have had several wrecks due to the issue. Safety recall- 19s07
While driving at highway speed vehicle will lose power and mph will drop to 0 and will not shift out of first gear. The dash will display a wrench and the cluster will go blank with all dashes. Upon turning vehicle off and back on the dash will clear and the vehicle will drive for a period of time before the issue returns. This is a major safety concern as i had my child in the vehicle when this happened on the highway going 60mph luckily no one was right behind me or i would have for sure been rear ended. I did a code scan and recieve code 0722 which is the molded lead frame inside of the transmission. After doing research i come to find this is a common problem with the 6r80 transmission and there was even a recall on the 2011-2012 vehicles but the 2013 is not included. Through online forums and just common research this issue has affected vehicles all the way through 2014 and still no recall. My truck has 55,000 miles on it and was purchased brand new it is now out of warranty and ford wants $895 dollars to replace the molded leadframe although this is a known issue affecting thousands of vehicles. It is a scary and dangerous concern that really needs to be addressed asap. I do not believe i should be liable for a defect that is known and specifically such a major issue that can cause a vehicle to lose power wheels lock up at highway speed.
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.
Vehicle will randomly shift into random gear while driving at various speeds.speedometer will drop to 0 and quit functioning and airbag indicator will come on.you have to turn off engine and restart vehicle.this started the day after i bought it used from a ford dealer.it has occured at 5 times in the last week.these are the same symptoms as recall for 2012 f-150's listed in nhtsa campaign #16v248000.my vehicle was manufactured in same plant that was listed in the recall.recall should be expanded to include the 2013 and any others that have this equipment installed.
Truck will sometimes downshift unexpectedly from cruising speeds or when taking slow corners. This will cause lurches that are unexpected and scary. Took the truck in to ford dealership and they told us the oss and vss sensors were not communicating and the molded leadnframe had to be replaced.
Transmission unintended downshift to first gear while driving on highway over the speed of 60
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving between 30-40 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear without warning. The contact pulled the vehicle off the road, turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle started to operate as intended. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to mooresville ford (located at 151 e plaza dr, mooresville, nc 28115, (704) 664-1300) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the lead frame harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,930.
While driving on expresswaygear when from 6th gear to 1st gearthen a orangewrench came up on the screen i almostcaused and accident&this has happened times before on the street
Truck downshifted to first gear while traveling on freeway going 70mph.lost control when rear tires started losing traction.
Failure of the lead frame in the 6 speed transmission.ford recalled a number of 2011 and 2012 f150's for this problem.the lead frame failure, which houses the speed sensor, causes the vehicle to attempt to downshift into 1st gear at highway speeds.mine is a 2013 f150 with the same problem.the first two times occurred at highway speed, ~50mph, and caused a sudden/temporary bog and deceleration.the third time the vehicle downshifted into first gear from approximately 50mph, causing the rear wheels to lock up and create a short skid, before shifting back into a higher gear.the vehicle behind me nearly crashed into me because of the sudden deceleration without warning.this was on a straight, level highway while traveling at a constant speed. The three incidents occurred several weeks apart in similar conditions, and the first two were not severe enough for me to immediately take it for service.i had the part replaced at $727 cost to me.the vehicle has 66,000 miles and was just out of warranty.i asked ford about covering the cost, since the recalled '11 and '12 models were covered for all repair costs beyond 100,000 miles.i was informed since my vehicle was not part of the recall, even though it had the exact same problem and transmission, ford would not cover the repair.this is a dangerous condition known to ford.many owners may forego repairs due to the cost, particularly when the initial signs of a problem are not severe, until they have a full on lockup of the rear wheels as i experienced. I have the receipt and original lead frame that was replaced if necessary for inspection.
Driving off a freeway off ramp and transmission abruptly changes to 1st gear locking up rear tires until i came to a complete stop.
Less than 24 hours after tsb 19s07 was performed on my truck, i was entering the freeway when check engine light, airbag light both turned on. Speedometer shut off, read 0, same with odometer. Vehicle refused to shift below 3rd gear. I then had to drive through a merge light to enter freeway and start from 3rd gear. I had to drive the 3 miles or so back home like this. Truck had no issues prior to the recall being done.
Violent downshift from 6th to 1st at high speeds 60+mph , semi-violent down-shift from 4th to 1st and mid 25-45pmg, transmission remaining in 3rd gear independent of speeds. This is all after having completed the software update that was supposed to have fixed the issue.an important note is that my truck was not having this issue until they did the software update to prevent this from happening.
Was pulling onto the highway with my daughter in the backseat shifting from 3rd gear to 4th i experienced a sudden down shift to 1st gear then erratic shifting then the yellow wrench light came on "limp mode" and i only had 1st 2nd and 3rd gears to get home i dropped the car off at a ford dealership thinking that the 19s07 recall unintended downshift was the issue the service manager called later that day and said the software upgrade had been performed the truck was road tested and ready for pickup i took it off the lot and the same thing happened down the road i brought it back to the dealer and mentioned the molded lead frame they later told me that the truck wasnt throwing the right codes for that and i needed to rip and replace the engine i did some research and found that thousands of other f150 owners had the same issue some had the right codes for the repair to be covered some did not and had to pay out of pocket but everyone has the exact same issue!!! this needs to be taken care of immediately thankfully no one was behind us it could have caused a serious accident i am disgusted with the way the dealership and ford customer service has handled this and think they should compensate myself and others!!!
Vehicle experiences sudden & rapid power loss, deceleration and vehicle shuttering at highway speeds. Occurs quickly and without any warning, presenting major safety issue as it has almost caused several vehicle crashes.at highway speeds this can result in severe vehicle damage and potential injuries.dealer attributes issue to be with the throttle body and has been a problem on a number of ford vehicles over the last 2 years. I have verified this by internet query.i have not seen or received any notification or recalls from ford on this or any other problems with my truck model.the vehicle in question is a 2013 ford f150 with the eco-boost engine.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact took the vehicle to ken wilson ford (769 champion dr, canton, nc 28716, (877) 740-8559) for the recall repair. The contact stated that the transmission failed after the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that since there was an open recall, the contact would be responsible for the repair cost if he took the vehicle to another dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 56,162.
My 2013 f-150 will suddenly downshift while i am doing 25-35 mph. Sometimes it will not upshift from 1st gear. It may take several seconds or several minutes for it to shift out of 1st gear. When it does upshift again it will slam into the higher gear. Sometimes the speedometer stops working, the airbag icon comes on, the engine icon comes on, a wrench icon comes on, sometimes the display is a series of dashes and sometimes the display is blank. If i stop and restart the engine sometimes the symptoms go away and sometimes the icons remain visible.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. Shortly after the vehicle was purchased, the contact stated that the gears independently downshifted from a high gear to a lower gear without warning. In addition, various warning indicators and gauges illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by a dealer. The place from where the vehicle was purchased provided a 30 day warranty and could not diagnose the failure. Two days after the warranty expired, an independent mechanic diagnosed that the transmission assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued intermittently. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and was waiting on the manufacturer to receive a dealer referral to repair the vehicle. The part was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the recall notice. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
Truck being driven apx 55 mph and no change from me truck has sudden slowdown with speedometer drop to 40s then recovers as truck speeds up on it's own. Same day as trying to park, in drive, pressing on gas engine revs but does not move. Today (7 days later) accelerating from stop transmission sticks in low gear. Has had powertrain recall applied.
While driving at approximately 40 mph. The transmission started to randomly change to 1st gear then to 3rd, 5th, 1st. Causing the truck to temporarily lock up the rear wheels and buck uncontrollably. Very frightning. Almost causing loss of control of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted to first gear without warning. The contact was able to assume normal driving soon after the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to courtesy ford lincoln(3533 n vermilion st, danville, il 61832) where they reprogrammed the computer; however, despite the repair, the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact linked his failure to nhtsa campaign number:19v433000 (power train); however, his vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
My 2013 ford unexpectedly downshift into first gear while the vehicle was in motion. I was traveling 40-45 mph. No accident or injuries. This also happened last yea, i was unaware of a recall or issue. I am worried about transmission damage, the current recall doesn't cover transmission service or inspection if you experiences this downshift. Until the recall software is resolved i will not drive my truck on the highway or high speeds as i'm worried it will happen again.
The vehicle is equipped with a 6r80 transmission and built before 4/8/2013 and is exhibiting engagement in 5th gear when driving. The wrench indicator and/or seat belt minder are illuminated, the speedometer reads zero and the odometer displays dashes while driving. Symptoms are cleared after an ignition key cycle. Diagnostics trouble codes p0720 and p0722 are stored in the powertrain control module.
2013 f-150 with 6r80 transmission problems. (1) on 8/17/2015 took truck in to dealer at 40,000 miles due to erratic shifting and shudder, no available error codes. They performed a reprogramming and said a tire was out of balance. Problem seemed to get better, but still exhibited slight shudder and occasional bump at highway speeds. This malfunction was reported to ford (2) on 01/24/2018 (mileage 77,000), truck shifted independently to first gear at approx. 65mph, causing sudden speed decrease and momentary loss of control. Rear end collision narrowly avoided. Large orange wrench light on dash. Rpm's near redline while pulling over to shoulder. Restarted and functionality was restored, warning lights & code no longer available. Took to ford dealer, they could not diagnose without code, recommended new battery. Problem seemed like glitch, although would sometimes shift into 5th gear in parking lots.(3) on 11/08/2018 (mileage 84,000), turning left across highway, truck lost all power in oncoming traffic. Collision narrowly avoided.no warning lights or codes, restarted truck in intersection and functionality restored. While pulling into parking lot at 5-10mph, truck indicates it is in 5th gear. Restarted, was able to drive remaining 2 miles home without issue. Again, no codes available, but extremely unsafe. Will be towing back to dealer on 11/12/2018 and reporting these issues to ford once again. Symptoms are identical to molded lead frame output shaft sensor issues addressed in 2016 ford recall, this is an incredibly unsafe condition and recall should be extended to include 6r80 transmission in the 2013 model year!
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.
Nhtsa rcall #19v-075/safety recall notice 19s07. Fmc issued recall notice march 2019.body of notice indicated software fix to be available 2ndquarter 2019, coming into 3rd quarter. So far no action from fmc, regarding fix. Have contacted my local ford dealership numerous times, they indicated fmc has not sent any software fix.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the transmission erroneously downshifted, the check engine indicator illuminated, and the speedometer was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to shults ford harmarville (1300 gulf lab rd, pittsburgh, pa), but the cause of the failures was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 83,000.

While driving at a speed of 60mph on the freeway, the transmission slipped out of gear and revved very high. Leaving me stranded in the middle of the freeway. All of a sudden the truck went back into gear, almost causing me to get rear-ended. This happened two other times while driving. Another time while driving, all the gauges went blank. I could not see my speed or any other indicator. After pulling over, i turned my truck off and restarted it with no issues. I now have my truck in the shop, and the list of issues keeps growing. I only have 62,000 miles and already seeing some major issues.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission downshifted independently and caused the vehicle to decelerate abruptly. The vehicle was taken to spradley ford (4809 south college ave, fort collins, co) who indicated that the vehicle exhibited failures related to nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The parts needed to repair the vehicle were not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. Thefailure mileage was 75,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
While driving and accellerating in a normal manner the vehicle will upshift properly until it reaches 4th gear and will not shift any further, even at freeway speeds of 65 to 70 mph for several miles no matter what i attempt to do.sometimes it will make it to 5th gear and remain there even though i'm not loaded down or pulling anything.
Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear while in motion, speed ometer and mileage goes to zero, rpms starts to run high, and the tool light on the dash board comes on, incity streets and on highway driving. I have to stop and shut down the vehicle and wait a few minutes. When i start up the vehicle and put it in drive gear the transmission jerks.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission downshifted into second gear and the vehicle decelerated abruptly. The failure was experienced several times.

Truck will shift gears at any time. It dropped to first gear unexpected while exiting interstate back tires locked up.just thankful it wasn't 10 seconds before while on interstate now i don't drive it much you never know when it's gonna shift by itself. It throws a code that says it the speed output sensor. There is a recall for the same thing on a 2012 model built in dearborn and kansas citybetween august and march 2012. My truck was built in kansas city in september. Maybe that recall should be expanded to cover all effected vehicles.
Vehicle is down shifting to gears while the car is in motion, causing the vehicle to come to a abrupt stop. I was going 55 mph and the vehicle down shifted without notice, causing the vehicle to swerve into on coming traffic. This has happen several times, i do not feel safe operating the vehicle. Took it to the dealership and was told that there was nothing that they could do to fix the issue, due to the engineers had not came up with a solution. I was given an estimation date of june of when ford would have a system upgrade. Meanwhile, i stuck with a truck payment for a vehicle i cannot safely drive.

While driving on 6/2/2019 at about 40 miles per hour i suddenly felt like i had been hit in the rear end by a truck. The transmission down shifting also caused the failure of the u-joint on the truck. When taking it to my local repair shop there was also metal found in the bottom of the transmission pan now resulting in a need to replace or repair the transmission at considerable expense $4000+. In looking up to see if there are any recalls i found what had happened.'ford recall number: 19s07'recall description: on your vehicle, an intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss) in the transmission may result in an unintended downshift to first gear.'risk to safety: an unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Along with this recall was thisfield service action items ''fsa title: transmission molded leadframe extended coverage'field service action number: 19n01however i can not find anything out about getting the repairs that were caused by this to be covered.

I experienced this several time but to a lesser degree and at slower speeds than this instance.i was driving on the highway at normal highway speed when suddenly my f-150 shifted from 6th gear into 2nd.it felt as if someone had slammed on the breaks.i was jolted forward and the vehicle behind me had to slam on its breaks and swerve to avoid me.i pulled over to the side of the road and could not get my truck to change out of 2nd gear.i turned the truck off then back on and it seemed normal for a second then went into "limp home mode."i then drove in "limp home mode" from where i was to the closest transmission shop because my truck was 4,000 miles over the powertrain warranty.the shop told me that i had to replace several gears within my transmission and it was cause by a faulty lead frame.this happens to be the same part that was recalled on the 2011 and 2012 models.this seems extremely careless and dangerous of ford to knowingly not recall a part despite the fact that it can lead to serious accidents.
Sudden downshift at highway speed.vehicle was in motion, 60 mph.several occurrences until vehicle was safely removed from roadway. Speedometer showed "0 mph" when downshifts occurred.rear wheels skidded on dry pavement creating extremely unsafe situation.it being unsafe to drive, had it towed to dealer.stated unsafe to drive and transmission downshifts to lowest gear at highway speeds.service writer described problem as speedometer problem and did not state a sudden downshift occurred.service writer entered mileage as 125,002 instead of around 40,000.i gave the service writer several printed instances of downshift occurrences i obtained from various websites.did not seem interested.if anyone searches databases, the problem would show as a high mileage vehicle with a speedometer problem, instead of a low mileage vehicle supposedly still under warranty with a severe transmission safety issue.cost, $1049.61 and not covered under warranty (as per dealer) and simply a speed sensor issue.

I was driving on the freeway between the speeds of 60 and 65mph and my 2013 f150 with a 6r80 transmission suddenly downshifted into what i believe was 1st gear. I came very close to crashing and completely losing control because the rear wheels breifly skidded on the freeway surface and because of the quick reduction of speed. It was violent because i wasnt expecting it.i am going to slowly limp it to a ford dealer in mesa arizona tomorrow morning. They should not charge me for this componant flaw.i do not feel safe driving my truck.
Transmission shifted to 5th gear while pulling into an intersection vehicle lost power in the intersection air bag light and wrench symbol came on the vehicle lost power lost all displays iwas almost hit by another vehicle and could have been seriously injured.i understand that previous years were recalled because of this transmission problem but no recalls on the 2013 yet please issue a recall this is very dangerous i am afraid to drive this truck.thank you
My 2013 ford f-150 fx4 3.5l v6 automatic transmission is jumping, gets stuck in the first gear or sometimes 5th gear. Have to put the vehicle in park and then sometimes shut it off and turn it back on. Driving at 30 miles an hour at times it would jump and buck hard. Took it to the dealer. They had it for about a week and were unable to duplicate the problem. This issue is very irritating and it feels very dangerous to me. Trying to pull out into traffic and then the transmission starts to jump around or is stuck in 5th and you cant get moving is dangerous. The dealer would not offer a repair because they could not duplicate the problem while they had it. But of course it happened on the way home after i picked it up. It is random, but happens every few days.
Hard shift down from higher to lower gears while driving. Transmission is an automatic and truck will be going 40-60 mph and all of a sudden downshift to 1st gear, causing rapid decline is speed, tires to lock up, and truck will go into "limp" mode. You will have to turn the truck off an on and let it sit for a while for it to clear out. At the same time the gauge panel will go crazy and start jumping up and down in speed and rpm.when fixed they charged for a gasket, oil, connector, screen asy, trans kit, and oil. The notes from dealership are: r+r valvebody, overhaul valvebody and replace internal harness, new filter and gasket, refill trans. Approximate cost $1400.00
I was driving down the i5 freeway in orange county ca around 6:45 pm doing approximately 65-70 mph, suddenly my truck downshifted into first gear causing me to start fish tailing and almost flipped over.my engine then went into a full rev, redlining.i was able to get over to the side of the road.where i had my truck towed to the dealer.
Upon leaving my driveway which is on a hill i went to apply my brakes and had no response, caused me to go off the curb. My brake pedal was hard to operate i went on line and did some research found out about recall.
My 2013 ford f-150 shifted into first gear while traveling at 55 mph. I almost lost control of the truck. I took it to the dealer and they want to replace a module in the transmission that cost $1200. I did some research and found that ford has recalled other vehicles with the same problem but not mine. I called ford and they didn't seem to care. I don't know what to do but this is a major safety issue. How can i get ford to recall my truck?
Jumps from first gear to fifth while not doing 5 mph. Traveling down highway shifts from 6 gear to third and speed odomotor goes to 0, wrench sigh appears on cluster and driver seat belt show not ingaged
My transmission spontaneously started to shift down several times from high gear to low gear 2/28/2019.i was able to get it to the dealer down the street after stopping and power cycling.3/1/2019, i was informed a recall on the transmission software was available, all was well, and i picked up my f150.3/5/2019, the f150 shifted from high to low again.i contacted my ford dealer of the ongoing issue and they said they could not get to it and made an appointment for 3/11/2019.on 3/12/2019, i was informed by the local dealer they could not get the problem to reproduce.from research conducted from the problem onset, internet forums led me to believe the problem was a regular occurrence with the plastic molded lead frame module inside the transmission.the ford dealer said they saw no problems with the lead frame, but i made the decision to have it replaced.3/14/2019 picked up my f150.the date is 3/20/2019 and the problem has not repeated itself leading to believe the problem originally was the lead frame module.i am surprised an update device and recall has not been performed on this item as it appears to be the culprit of the f150 shifting problem.
Unintended downshift to 1st gear. While driving in 6th gear it downshifted into 1 gear then had no driving power.took vehicle in under recall notice and was told there was not going to be a fix until quarter 2.i explained this was an unsafe condition, but they dealer told me there was nothing they could do about it and i would have to wait.

The vehicle was restarted however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The contact used an obd scanner and retrieved fault code: p0721 (output shaft speed sensor range/performance). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 191,000.
While in drive my truck will downshift from 3rd gear to first without warningand 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.
Speedometer, odometer, cruise control, blinker control, and transmission shifting quits working. Believe it's the transmission lead frame causing the problem like in the 2011 and 2012 f150's.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving at low speeds from a stop sign and turning left, the transmission shifted into fifth gear without warning.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,266.
Transmission would shift from 6th gear to 1st for no reason locking up the rear wheels.
My vehicle has approximately 86,000 miles.while accelerating truck shifts from 1st to 5th gear.i stopped the truck and turned the key off and back on, the truck ran fine after that.problem accelerated to the point of the last incident, when while traveling at 65 mph the truck downshifted into a much lower gear nearly causing a major accident as i was in the far left lane of a very busy freeway.at this point we took the truck into port lavaca ford.they have had the necessary part on order for 3 weeks.we are told the part is on back order and some dealers in our area have been waiting for over a month for the part and it is still not available.i feel ford needs to address this issue and provide the necessary parts to customers in a timely manner.
Transmission randomly shifts, sometimes into 1st gear even at 40 mph. Occasionally, speedometer, gas gauge, gear indicator all die and a yellow wrench appears on the display. My research indicates it may be the transmission lead frame.
The vehicle drops into 1st gear for no reason, including when at high speed.this causes the rear wheels to skid and the vehicle to loose control.i have taken the vehicle to two ford dealerships, and they have done the software update under recall 19s07, but the vehicle continues to have this problem.both dealerships tell me they believe the lead frame needs to be replaced to fix the sudden downshifting, but ford corporation refused to pay the cost of this repair because ford corporation say the lead frame is not covered by the 19s07 recall unless there are "error codes" (which there are not, even though the truck has downshifted three times at speeds of about 35 mph since they "fixed" the software).
Driving down interstate and truck suddenly shifted to 3rd gear locking up my tires. Thank god i didn't lose control and drove off the road to a stop. Turned off truck and back on. Drove ok for a bit. Will keep dropping gears or randomly shifting up and down. From a start it could sometime try to go into 5th. At times all the dash indicators flash and go to dashes.
In november 2019 my truck had a recall from ford (recall #19s07) applied. Https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2019/rcmn-19v075-2645.pdf and also this recall https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10162411-0001.pdfon august 5th, 16th, 20th, 25th, 27th i have experienced the following condition:hard unexpected down shift, in one incident while traveling in 6th gear at highway speed the transmission down shifted to 1 gear, locking up the rear wheels.(this also caused me to swerve off of the road)in addition the electronic dash board went dark and displaced a wrench. The error was corrected by cycling the power off and back on.i did contact ford about this issue and they said the extend warranty from 19n01 was only to 150,000 miles and at the time of the call to ford the milage on the truck was 151k.
I was parked on a incline with the engine off and the transmission in drive. I went to step out of the vehicle when it started to roll backwards. The truck was rolling backwards and the door was pushing me down the hill with it. Luckily i was able to get back in the truck and stop the vehicle. Another time i was parked in a parking lot with the engine off and the transmission in drive and after awhile the vehicle started to roll forward. After both incidents i asked my ford dealer and they stated that it was normal for the truck to roll when the transmission was in drive. The first time i could've been seriously hurt and the second time someone in the parking lot could've been seriously hurt.

I was driving at about 30-35mph and my truck shifted into 1st gear unexpectedly. I have started to notice it doesnā€™t shift quite like it supposed to.
While on i95 in virginia, after traveling for about an hour with the cruise control on in an intermittent rain, i attempted to accelerate to pass another vehicle. I depressed the accelerator and the truck started to shake and buck. The check engine light started flashing and i was not able to accelerate. Any attempt to do so caused the truck to jerk and shake. As i moved to the right lane to get to the shoulder, the light stopped flashing and the truck behaved normally. I could not replicate the incident since i did not drive at a constant speed again for any period of time remaining in the trip. This occurred in a 2013 ford f150 xlt supercrew with a 3.5l eco boost engine.
We found out recall after accident last year - when turning - automatic transmission downshifted locked, vehicle skid and caused accident.was declared a total loss by insurance, we told them was not our fault.we had to pay deductible and out of pocke to try to replace vehicle.now same vehicle is also under same recall.

19s07 transmission downshifting from 6th to 1st. I experienced the exact symptoms for the recall. I took the truck to the dealer lou fusz they told me that it was a tranmission sensor and stated it would be over $900 to fix it. The work was performed and the truck has not done it since. I received the notice and called ford and they are denying the claim to reimburse for the repairs that were made because the truck had done the downshift more than 10 times. The last time was the only time ford dealer told me they found the solution. This is not been handled correctly and i am not wanting to take the truck back on the highway after going from 70 mph down to 1st gear locking up the truck and sliding.

Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the exact same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.
Vehicle will intermittently not shift . I can be driving normally and stop a light. When i accelerate,the vehicle will intermittentlyot shift gears. This can happen on on-ramps, or anytime vehicle speed is reduced. The recall for this did not include the plant .y vehicle was manufactured, so i am on the hook for repairs should i decide to fix it.
I was driving my f150 when i come to a stop light. Once the light turned green i accelerated and got to speed (55mph) when the truck suddenly downshifts to 1st. I pulled over put in park and turned off. Started again and worked fine. Later that day the truck did it again. This time i was on the highway at 60mph when it shifted down to 1st. Pulled over and went to take off and it started in second then jumped to 5th and wouldn't shift. I couldn't take off in 5th so i put in park turned off and waited 10mins before starting again. It worked fine after. This is very scary.
Vehicle downshifted while coming back from work, speedometer shut itself off and a wrench icon showed on the dashboard
Vehicle transmission slips while towing causing intermittent speed changes. Received a p0735 dtc code-gear 5 incorrect ratio.
I took the truck in for the recall this is what they did:performed recall 19s07 performed pcm update later calibration and cleared dtcs. The truck is still doing the same thing i took it back and they said the engine light has to turn on before they can do anything.the engine light never turns on. When the truck is in motion i was merging onto the freeway and i hit the accelerator to speed up it downshift to first. So does the engine light have to turn on before they can check it?when it happens i have to pull over turn off the truck wait a bit and restart and it seems to work for a while.
I had filed a complaint earlier this week, but yesterday, it happened again. Driving the ford f150 2013 on city streets (rural area, speed limits vary between 45 and 55 mph) and the truck slipped and shifted erratically between a few gears for a few seconds. The entire family was in the car including 3 kids. Then later the same day on route 3 in the sunbury ohio the car is in 5th gear speedometer reading zero suddenly. Route 3 varies between 50 and 55 mph and my truck was going in this range at the time it dropped to zero. Only one in car at the time so i captured it on photo reading 5th gear and 0mph uploaded below/
When pulling off of a residential street onto a city street the evening of oct 1, 2019 (speed limit 45 mph) my truck got stuck in 1st gear.with traffic around me, i attempted to shift into 3rd 2nd and 1st, but no change.i went back to drive and still no change.then a wrench showed up next to the odometer and the odometer went to - - - - - and speedometer went to 0, rpm still worked.i pulled off the road and turned off truck and restarted and all was fine.this happened to me a couple of days before, but when i shifted to 3rd, it started working again.i had the transmission related reprogram recall completed on 23 sept.both shifting events occurred after the reprogram.this could be a serious safety concern if it happens at a busy time.fortunately traffic was light when it happened to me both times.there doesn't seem to be a mechanical problem because turning the engine off and immediately turning on corrected the problem both times.it could be coincidental that this is happening after the reprogram, but i wanted to report because of the number of other people experiencing the same problems.it seems very similar to the descriptions from some people regarding the lead frame issue reported on the 2012 model.
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.
When starting from a stop, after transmission shifts into 1st gear, going to 2nd gear, transmission will disengage into neutral and engine will continue to rev. After 3-5 seconds, transmission will reengage and shift thru the gears to top gear. This only happens while vehicle is in forward motion and only on an intermitant basis, eg, not all the time. Also, sometimes while traveling at highway speeds, the speedometer will drop to zero for 1-2 seconds and then back to the present speed. Another issue is that sometimes while traveling forward, the vehicle will suddenly act like it wants to lock up as though it was placed into park. I have also come to a stop and when trying to start to move forward, the transmission gear indicator says that it did not downshift to 1st gear, but tried to start out in 4th gear. After stopping and restarting to move forward, it would finally downshift to 1st gear. Sometimes, the transmission will not shift into 2nd gear until the vehicle has reached 20-30 mph and then it will go from 1st gear to 4th then finally thru to 6th and final gear. I took the vehicle to a ford dealership and they could not get the vehicle to do these things. They did tell me that ford had recalled 2011 and 2012 model f150's for a similar problem. They reprogrammed the computer in hopes that it would solve the problem, it did not. I was told by the dealership that the leadframe valve body may need to be replaced or rebuilt to solve the problem. I am affraid to drive the vehicle very far, fearing a possible breakdown on the highway. I have scheduled another visit with a ford dealer to possibly have this rebuild done. The vehicle has 86,000 miles on it and they estimate a substantial cost involved to do this. Do you know if there is anyone else having this problem and is there a recall for this ?
We have taken this vehicle numerous times to fix the transmission and motor (eco boost 6-cylinder)the transmission does not shift smoothly, the vehicle lurches and has a lack of power/acceleration.the vehicle is in motion and experiences these problems both in city and highway driving.the nhtsa has hundreds of complaint and ford has received over 4000.the last time we took it to the dealer their explanation was:"cannot duplicate customer's complaint"this platform is faulty and somehow ford has been able to keep it off the radar.apparently ford does not know how to fix it and continues to deny that there is a problem.
Shifting into first while on interstate.locking up rear tires
Vehicle experiences hard downshift from higher to lower gears while driving at highway speeds on interstate highway, causing rear wheels to skid and vehicle to jerk. Vehicle looses power with rpm indicator on dash showing engine revving at or above 1,500 to 2,500 rpms while driving on local roads and streets.when starting from a stopped position the engine rpms will climb to 1,500 to 2,000 and the vehicle will no move. The wrench indicator has come on 3 times but goes off if vehicle is shut off and restarted.additionally, the vehicle electronic control system does not store any codes to indicate the vehicle has experienced any problems.have taken vehicle to local ford dealer on 4 occasions only to be informed that no codes were present and vehicle did not act up while in their possession.also informed by dealer that unless code is displayed during diagnostic test ford motor will not pay for repairs unless code is displayed.
Unexpectedly down shift into 1 gear from 4th while driving 30+ mph, local street driving: happened 4 times, each time i was on an up hill incline, adding power to increase speed. 1st thing that would happen is a loss of torque, shortly after the gear would drop from 4th or 5th to 1st and the drive train would act as a break rapidly bringing the truck to a near stop. Speedometer and odometer would zero out.i could get it to reset after a while.
135,987 mi. 2013 ford f 150 econoboost powersteering assit went out!notice a traction fault couple days ago and it went away after i shut off my truck. The steering never did this and it happened in a parking lot making a sharp left turn! and then while trying to drive out of the parking lot turning out to the intersection no power steering????just last year i had to replace my throttle body because my truck would go limp while driving! why isn't there a recal on the steering for this year?
Took vehicle out of garage after warm up and while accelerating to 55 mph the transmission went into neutral. I let off the accelerator and the transmission shifted down into a much lower gear. At first i thought the brakes had locked up and pulled over to the side. I put the truck in park and went out to see if i had a smoking brake. Nothing looked wrong so i got back in and started to pull away from the curb and the vehicle went into neutral the shifted into a higher gear then into a lower gear. I let off the accelerator and put it into neutral then tried drive again. The erratic shifting continued for about 5 miles then seemed to work correctly. The next day i attempted to bring it to work to get it looked at and the same situation occurred except the vehiclethen downshifted to 1st and would not come out. I stopped shut the truck off and started again and was able to get the vehicle to a dealer with the erratic shifting into lower gears for 30 miles. I have the paperwork from the ford dealer showing me it was the molded lead frame failed and a connector #al3z-7g276-d, connector# 6l2z-7g276-aa. Total cost $1292.94
I excelerated from a stop, suddenly my check engine light started to flash and i started to lose power and acceleration. My vehicle then began to shudder, i let off the accelerator pedal and moved to the side of the road. After about a minute the engine light turned itself off and the full power came back to the truck.
Downshifts unexpectedly while driving 30-35mph and coasting on city street.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
Truck is hesitant to pull off as if brakes are stuck, idles high, jerks violently and seems as if it's losing power. I've been dealing with this issue for some time now and liberty ford maple has been 0 help resolving this issue. I've been hit from behind 2 times as well as multiple other close accidents due to this issue. I refuse to drive the freeway out of fear of a accident , which really affects my work. It's almost like i don't have a vehicle as i've been using family vehicles or renting.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the gear shifted from high to low gear without warning and the vehicle jerked. The vehicle was taken to planet ford hd truck shop (888-501-9013, located at 20332 holzwarth rd, spring, tx 77388) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
When driving down the road the speedometer goes to zero and the vehicle starts to jerk and will not shift.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 15 mph, the transmission failed and the vehicle downshifted into first gear. On another occasion, the contact stated that the vehicle was completely out of gear. Also, the rpms increased when the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle would not accelerate. A dealer was not made aware of the failures. The manufacturer notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 140,000.
While driving south on hwy 87 south toward southport, nc near sandyfield, close to the hyw 11 intersection, i performed a hard acceleration to pass a slow moving vehicle when i experienced a sudden loss of power immediately followed by shaking. If the vehicle i was passing was going faster than 50 mph i would not have made it around him. While i did not stop, i did slow the vehicle to under 50 mph to which the engine light stopped flashing as did the shaking. The weather was partly sunny with high humidity. Road conditions were dry.
While driving my truck's speedometer will shut down, as well as the other instrument cluster, except my tach.it will then go into "limp mode" until i'm able to get to the side of the road and recycle the engine.the code the computer is showing indicates an output power speed sensor.this would also indicate a relationship with the leadframe.i was wondering why there is no recall on 2013 f150 while sharing the same 6r80 transmission and causing the same problems?
Noticeable increase in shifting times and in some cases slipping/missing gears.this occurs on highway driving and regular driving and most noticeable when attempting to pass a vehicle, increase in speed when entering the highway, or when climbing a hill and the vehicle downshifts.decrease of power is noticed when starting at a stopped position and a hesitation.vehicle was taken to a ford dealership for manufacturer recall 19s07 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?vin=1ftfw1et6dkf[xxx]#vin) and i was told that they received notice not to reprogram 2013 f150's with a 3.5l engine and that new programming had to be developed for these vehicles.i also received a notice in the mail about an additional recall for my vehicle (not listed in nhtsa) where a speed sensor failure may occur which require replacement of the transmission (see attached).when i've described the problems i've been experiencing with my vehicle to the ford dealership, i was told they were not symptoms of either of the recalls and would not qualify for repair under the recalls.the issues were first noticed around may 16, 2019 and have been noticed a number of times since then.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When i turn on and place the truck in drive, my steering wheel locks up to where i cant use steering wheel, i get a error on dash stating "assist power steering failure. I place truck in park and turn vehicle off, and restart and problem seems fine, until steering wheel locks up while driving and i get this same error. Ford dealer is charging me $2000 to fix this problem. This could cause a major crash. I believe ford should have this recalled and pay for this.
While driving, the truck downshift to 1st gear randomly. The service light came on and the truck stayed in 1st gear. All of the gauges died and i was forced to pull over.. I restarted the truck and it ran normal. The next day i was driving on the cruise control when the truck downshifted to 5th and all the gauges died. Later that day, it went into 3rd gear and would not shift. I am now having to pay 900$ to fix something tbat is already recalled for 2012 but not my 2013. Same transmissions and same issue.
At or aroung 500 miles on my brand new 2013 ford f150 svt raptor a message come up on the 4.2 incd lcd that read "check fuel inlet". I was at a gas station putting gas in my truck and while i was pumping gas i called harbin ford and spoke with a service rep. And told them what had come up on the lcd. The service rep. Told me to open the back door and look under the back seat on driver side and there should be a white funnel looking object about 6 inches long.i pulled up at my home and parked my truck under our carport which has 2 open walls and another to enter the carport. On the north end the carport is supported by 3 steel poles which holds the carport up which is attached to our house. I placed my truck in (p) park and left the engine running, my mother was outside about 10 feet from my truck. And i thought before i got in my truck that maybe i should try the funnel deal mentioned earlier in this description. So i just opened the back door because the front was already open because i left my truck running and it was in the (p) position but i got the funnel and opened the fuel door and started sticking the funnel in and out repeating several times. And about the 2nd or 3rd time sticking the funnel in and out of the fuel inlet my truck acted like someone had placed my truck in reverse and it started coming in reverse. My mother seen this and she screamed at me to get out of the way and i just seen a opening between the doors and i somehow ended up in the driver seat and i hit the brake and to disbelief i looked at the driver side door and it was almost ripped completely off and the driver side fender was also crinkled up from the door catching on the last pole exiting our carport. I looked over at the auto transmission and the truck was still in park?
The transmission will stay in 3rd or 5th gear sometimes at a stop. This causes a power loss and no acceleration. The transmission will also "hunt for a gear a low speeds between 1st and 2nd gears. An orange wrench will flash in the info center on the dash when this is happening intermittently. The transmission also downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear while the cruise control was set at 75 mph. This caused the truck to go into an uncontrolled skid, luckily it did not cause an accident. I cycled the ignition and drove slowly away without incident. The vehicle is currently at the ford dealership where it was purchased. That dealership acts like they have never heard of the 200,000 plus ford vehicles that were recalled from 2011-2012 for these exact same symptoms. My 2013 f-150 missed that recall by just a few months. The ford motor company needs to address these problems before someone gets killed.
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
Truck downshifts to first gear unpredictably at any speed.
Without warning, vehicle downshifts at any speed, from 6th gear to 2nd gear locking up all 4 tires and screeching to a 60 mph slowdown.the vehicle was in motion on highway 5 northbound.occurred at least 10 times at 70 miles per hour and then again at 30 miles per hour in novato on a city street before taking to authorized ford service department.they kept the vehicle for 4 weeks and determined a wiring lead needed to be replaced.of course, this is not covered by any powertrain warranty.this is a very dangerous situation as we could have been seriously injured or killed as well as any other vehicle around us.i found this exact same issue with the same vehicle in several instances on the internet.know issue.
I was trying to pass another car when my engine stalled. I was going about 45 to 50 mph when i went to accelerate around the car and my engine completely stalled and lost power. The transmission light appeared. It had been raining alot and was humid and wet although not actively raining at time of malfunction.i drive a new ford f150 v6 with ecoboost technology.
Throttle was completely lost.truck would only run around 5 mph maximum.would not take throttle at all.this is a very dangerous condition when in a high traffic and multi lane setting where all the other vehicles are running at high speeds.it is also very dangerous when pulling a 7000 lb trailer with no or extremely limited pull offs for emergencies such as this.it creates a very real possibility of death.this occurred on a local road in fitzgerald, ga traveling straight with light traffic conditions fortunately.i drove the truck in to fitzgerald ford from about 3 to 4 miles away at the above mentioned speed.the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle body, and it was replaced at a cost to me of $248.12.my wife's car also had this problem with the exact same part.it was replaced by the same dealership and paid for by us.my wife [xxx]subsequently received correspondence from ford that indicated the throttle body warranty had been extended, and that cost that we previously paid was refunded to us.her car whichwe still own is a 2010 ford fusion sel.the vin is [xxx].the incident with my truck occurred yesterday, june 24, 2016.the diagnosis, repair and payment for the repair also took place yesterday.is there any difference between the extension of the car throttle body warranty and the truck? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2013 ford f150 super. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for worked performed on vehicle. After recall was issued. *ld
While driving about 45 mph on a city road the truck suddenly downshifted into either 1st or 2nd gear. This caused a sudden slow down and loss of power while in traffic. The powertrain warning indicator light flashed and my truck went into limp mode for the remainder of the ride home. After parking my truck and re starting the vehicle, no warning indicators are visible, check engine light is not on and the truck seems to be operating normal. I contacted ford customer service and they said my truck was under the recall, but no fix was currently available. Ford customer service then told me to take my truck to a dealership and they would tell me if it was safe to continue to drive. Quick recap: the truck downshifted, sudden slow down, recall states this may cause loss of control of vehicle, ford says no fix available at this time, ford also says take it to a dealership even though they admit the dealership cant fix it. Ford also refused to provide documentation stating the vehicle was or was not safe to drive.
At highway speed transmission will downshift to 1st gear locking rear tires. Engine rpms hit 5000 to 6000 revs. Speedo will stop working. Have to pull off the road and restart the truck which resets everything till it happens again. At times during intown driving transmission shifts erratically.
Unexpected transmission downshifts to 1st gear occurring.my 2013 ford f-150 v6 automatic transmission is jumping, gets stuck in the first gear. Have to put the vehicle in park and then sometimes shut it off and turn it back on. It also sticks in fifth gear from a dead stop.
61,000 miles power steering failed in motion fault on steering angle sensor not sold had to replace whole steering rack $2000.00now 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
I have the recall nhtsa 19v-075 the procedure that ford says to preform did not fix the issue all it did was make sure the check engine light kicks on the transmission still will go too fist gear intermittently ford needs too fix this issue before someone gets hurt or even die's my personal vehicle did shift too first gear at 70 miles per hour on i79 on march 1st
While traveling 40 mph my 2013 ford f150 (32,000 miles) suddenly downshifts into 1st gear. The rear wheels lock up leaving skid marks on road. The speedometer shuts down as well as others on instrument cluster. The truck jumps out of control. I have to shut it off and restart to move it. I called for a flatbed tow truck and it is now at a ford dealer. I have seen hundreds of complaints aboutthis and crashes. Ford has had this problem and needs to step up and recall this before someone gets killed. This is very dangerous. I had another technician drive my truck for a second opinion. It did the same thing for him. He told me do not drive this truck it is too dangerous. Please do something!
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
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Philpot ford (1400 us-69, nederland, tx 77627, (866) 796-0839) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
We were driving at 60 mph and all of a sudden it down shifted into first gear expectantly locking up the rear tires and almost causing us to crash. Turned the truck off then back on and it took me to work. Later that day went to lunch and the transmission will slip and not go anywhere, turn it off then back on and it will go again not far, but will go and has no power the dash goes dead the speedometer goes to just ------------- this a huge wrench comes up on the dash. Took it to ford and the say the trans is broken. I notice many other fords are recalled for this .. Please expand this to the 13 year model as i cant afford 4,000$when the recker came to get it, he drove it up onto the flatbed, he put it in park and proceeded to get out and it rolled down the recker (in park)please help, somebody's gonna die soon!!
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the engine made an abnormal noise, the rpms increased, and the vehicle decelerated rapidly and almost came to a complete stop.there were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
The 2013 f150 transmission downshifts often and randomly while the vehicle is operating at higher speeds (45 mph +) on the highway and on city streets. Typically the vehicle is movng straight and not turning. The downshift is typically from 6th gear to 3rd gear and more often from 5th gear to 2nd gear.in the latter instance, the rear wheels skid when the pavement is wet. The transmission moves back into the appropriate gear after a couple of seconds. We have been working with ford to solve this problem for at least two years. Ford has now given up. Ford has replaced the transmission valve body and a communication cable that connects the engine control module to the transmission.nothing has worked and the f150 continues to downshift.i believe that this is very unsafe and i am worried when my wife drives the truck (often no option) should the rear wheels lock up and send the vehicle into an uncontrollable spin.
While traveling at 50-60mph the speedometer drops to 0 and the transmission slams down to first gear and then shoots right back up to sixth gear.it happened on several occasions while driving on the freeway and state highways.on one occasion the speedometer stayed at zero even though i was still traveling at 45-50 mph and the transmission was stuck in 5th gear.even when i pulled over and put the car into park it was still telling me it was in 5th gear. This condition is very scary especially when traveling at a fairly high rate of speed.i can't imagine what might have happened if i was towing my boat when this sudden down shift occurred. My two youngest children were in the vehicle with me on the most recent occurrence, which made the situation more nerve racking.my dealer diagnosed it as a faulty output speed sensor on the transmission lead frame.i know there is a recall for ford f150's 2011 and 2012 model years with this same exact issue.i think this recall needs to be expanded to 2013 models as the same thing is still occurring in this model year.i have a video of two occurrences if you would want me to submit it but it looks like i can only upload pictures.
I drove my f150 for a short distance of maybe 3 miles, shut it off, entered the post office for approximately 5 minutes, drove the truck across the street for a distance of maybe 1/4 mile, shut it off and went into a business for maybe 5 minutes.upon starting the truck to return home it would not shift into drive.i looked at the instrument panel and saw the rpms to be over 3000.i did not hear the engine revving due to ac blower noise. I checked the accelerator to see if anything was touching it and nothing was near the accelerator. I shut the truck off, restarted, and it performed normally. Other issues: 1) several months ago the radio would not turn on while driving and when i shut the truck off the outside temperature display along with the date/time display was flashing symbols instead of displaying alpha-numeric characters. Upon restarting the truck the display returned to normal and the radio functioned normally. 2) when applying full throttle the engine basically stalls which can be somewhat hazardous when entering an interstate highway with a short entrance ramp and heavy traffic.i mention all of these items because in my opinion they would point to computer issues on the ecoboost.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 30 mph without warning. The vehicle was taken to eide ford lincoln (800 e bismarck expy, bismarck, nd 58504, 701-222-3500) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,190.
While traveling at 55 mph the truck shifted from 6 to 3rd gear locking up the rear end.i was able to pull over and noticed the speedometer was not operating.i turned the vehicle off and functionality returned.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact coasted the vehicle to shoulder and wait for a few minutes before restarting the vehicle and the vehicle resumed normal functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission molded lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the warranty had expired. The contact was informed that the information she saw regarding the failure was for a field service action and not a recall. The field service action number was: 19n01. The contact stated the vehicle only drove in third gear. The failure mileage was approximately 153,294
The truck will suddenly down shift while driving.the is after completion of the recall in 2019.three times the truck has skipped gears on breaking.once while breaking to make a turn causing the truck to almost stall. Once going down a dirt hill causing the back wheels to lock up and slide.didn't cause an accident.once after going over a speed bump causing the truck to jerk suddenly and made the driver think they hit something.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was an internal failure with a connector in the transmission assembly. The vehicle intermittently shifted from sixth gear to first gear and, at times, failed to accelerate. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the connector(s) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Vehicle will abruptly downshift to 1st gear at highway speeds of 65 mph causing rear tires to lock up and skid. Dtc codes p0720 and p0722 indicate faulty transmission sensor. Extremely unsafe!
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 75 mph, the gear shifted from sixth to first gear without warning. The contact managed to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and called capital ford of charlotte at 844-242-1515 (located at 5411 n tryon st, charlotte, nc 28213), but no one answered the phone. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 167,119.
I recently purchased this vehicle used less than a week ago. I have only driven it for about 75 miles. While driving down a busy street at 45 miles an hour the truck down shifted to first gear and simultaneously the speedometer stopped working. I kept control of the vehicle but if a vehicle would have been following closely it is possible if not likely to have rear ended me. I checked the vin and it states no open recalls. Evidently the vehicle was serviced for one of the past recalls which clearly describes this same event as an issue. I will contact the dealership grey daniels ford in brandon ms where it was purchased for inspection.
Three times in the last two months this has happened to me. While accelerating from a stop on a city street the truck will jerk forward and backward chirping the tires like it's slipping gears.while this is happening if i give it gas either it won't rev up or it will rev up but not accelerate almost like it's in neutral. Also, the speedometer drops down to zero and bounces up and down even while the truck is moving when this happens. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle until the problem is corrected and quite frankly i don't feel safe driving it either. I find it terrible that ford has not included the 2013 vehicles into the recall of the earlier models suffering from the same defects.
Ford f150 supercrew 5.0 v8 6 speed auto transmission. Erratic shifting while driving. Sometimes will stay in 5th gear at a stop wont shift down, sometimes when pulling out in 1st gear will not shift up. Bounces back and forth between 1st gear and third or 5th while driving. Shutting off vehicle and restarting sometimes solves issue but becoming more frequent, recall for reprogramming speed output sensor was performed with no resolution. Appears to be the lead frame module issue that was recalled in 2011-2012 ford f150 but not recalled or extended warranty on 2013 models. Very very dangerous, cannot drive this vehicle!
While driving on the freeway at 55 miles an hour, my transmission shifted from 4th gear to 1st gear with no reason.
Had recall fix completed approx. March 2019 by ford dealership on 2013 f-150, but while in motion, transmission still slips gears often, as well as, delayed shifting of gear.
I was driving down the interstate and my truck just downshifted into 1st out of no where causing my back tires to lock up and me to lose control of my vehicle. I brought it to the dealership and they said it was an internal part failure dealing with an output sensor on the lead frame. It looks like there is a recall for this exact problem on 2011-12s but mine is a 2013 bought in 2012, and is still under 50,000, car is still at the dealership being repaired i do not have the paperwork yet.
I've repeatedly taken this vehicle to the ford dealer. It has the stutter shift problem, sticking in either 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear. Shifting from 1st to 5th when accelerating, downshifting from 5th to ist with the resulting screech of the rear wheels and going into limp mode, remaining in 5th gear when stopping, the display going blank and the rectangle with wrench symbol occurring, etc. Etc. Iv'e read many of the complaints list ed on this site and it seems i've had them all. I've had to take serious evasive measures on three occasion. The only response i get from the dealer is "if you can't duplicate it, we can't fix it." i file a grievance complaint and received a call from the district supervisor who said we are not buying back your truck as there is nothing wrong with your vehicle. This was followed up by the factory ford satisfaction representative who was not interested in my problem but calling to evaluate the ford dealer and state if you can't demonstrate the problem we can't fix it.this is a serious safety hazard and judging from what i've read, it should be opened to recall investigation. My problems started around 12,000 miles and i now have approx. 17,000 miles with over 100 incidences. It seems once you stop and start the engine a reset takes place and it one usually can continue without incident. I personally feel this is a software issue and there are bugs in the so called adaptive driving(i.e. Artificial intelligence) and the trained service technicians are not equipped to solve problems of this nature. I've talked to these techs and they want to fix the problem, but unless they can retrieve a diagnostic code there is nothing they can do. This needs to be elevated to the upper levels of ford management.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service, brakes hydrualic) regarding the master cylinder and brake booster. A computer update was also performed on the vehicle after an indicator concerning the transmission and two other unknown indicators flashed. After the repairs, the down hill descent and service advancetrac warning indicators illuminated. The contact called parkway ford (2104 peters creek pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27127, (877) 836-4271) and scheduled a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 166,000.
Was driving 2013 ford f150 fx4 with ecoboost engine about 60 miles per hour when truck suddenly shifted into 1st gear and caused truck to rev rpm's and rapidly and unexpectedly to decrease speed due to shifting to first gear almost causing an accident on a city street.after the speed decrease, unable to get car into higher gear and drove at very low speeds to exit road.turned car off and on and it not help.after about 5 minutes, car was able to drive but experienced the issue several more times driving to mechanic.another family member experienced the same issue the day before, but did not realize the truck was shifting into 1st gear.took truck to mechanic and ran diagnostics for $100 fee and was told me to take to dealership for a known issue.at the dealership, a "fix" was implemented, but the fix caused another issue and when the air conditioning started, the whole dash vibrates and make loud noises.dealership still has truck trying to figure out issue of loud noise when turning on ac.did not have issue with vibrating until the "fix" was issued.nor did the mechanic notice the issue with the ac when it was taken in for a diagnostic before taking to dealership.
Sometimes vehicle will start or get stuck in 5th either from the start or during deceleration. Engine revs, but forward motion compromised.more concerning is the intermittent downshifting at highway speeds. Speedometer has failed and turns off, reads 0 rmp. Gear indicator and tramsmission position will drop to 1st, go back to 5th, and waver anywhere in between. This has even locked up my rear wheels at 70mph. Pretty scary! this has happened a handful of times now. Thankfully, i have been able to shift to neutral, get to the shoulder, kill the engine, restart and go.i wrote this today b/c i got a wrench light finally, so hopefully they can diagnose this intermittent issue.
This is the 3rd occurrence over the last month.driving on hwy 90 at 65 miles per hour the truck suddenly downshifted into 1st gear.the rear tires locked up and smoked as i was thrown forward against my seat belt. I narrowly kept control of the vehicle.i shifted the truck into neutral and coasted onto the shoulder.i turned the truck off and restarted the engine.the truck operated normally for about 50 miles. The sudden violent downshift is extremely dangerous and frightening.ford has recalled 2014 f150's with the same issue.why have they not recalled the 2013's? someone is going to get killed by this defect.this is a widely reported issue with the 2013 ford f150.do something.
Had safety recall 19s07 done on 4/6/2021 due to truck downshifting to 1st gear randomly. Reprogramming per the recall did not fix the issue, but truck is not displaying any of the required dtc's to be able to do the safety recall 19n01 even though truck is still downshifting to first gear randomly as well as loss of speedometer at times while driving. Truck also seems to sit in 3rd gear for a few seconds when at a complete stop. Dealership will not move forward on recall of lead frame until codes are displayed, even though the truck is showing all other symptoms as stated in 19n01
Truck has leaking radiator hoses.went to local ford dealership for replacement parts.was told that i am number 70 in line for those parts.radiator fluid always low, constantly refilling it.this is dangerous due to the amount of fluid that leaks out on a daily basis.very nervous about driving truck, fear that it may breakdown on me and leave me stranded on side of road.concerned about the backlog and waiting so long for parts.is this a problem with all f150 radiator hoses, and if so shouldn't ford issue a recall and fix the problem.i am worried t4hat i am going to breakdown on the side of a road late at night in 0' weather and try to find a town truck.i only have one vehicle and not able to rent a car for several weeks while my garage waits for the parts.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from sixth to first gear and the wheels locked up. The failures caused the vehicle to veer into oncoming traffic. The contact shifted into neutral and coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, where it was turned off and restarted. The failure occurred more than once since the contact owned the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (lance cunningham ford, 4101 clinton hwy, knoxville, tn 37912, (866) 591-3943) for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer issued a recall for the 2010-2012 models, but not for the 2013. The vin was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
On 2 occassions truck down shiftedviolently into 1st gear while i was driving apprx 45 mphit happened3days apart ,2nd time had passenger and was terrifying and i took truck immediatelyto mahwah fordthen to a transmission specailist
Ford f-150 recall - current recall from february 2019 for the unintended downshift into first gear on 2013 f-150 did not correct the problem of sudden loss of gear and unexpected downshifting.vehicle software was updated per the recall and the vehicle continues to experience sudden downshifting.while driving on a city street immediately after completing the recall repairs, the vehicle lost gear and suddenly downshifted into 1st gear from 5th gear nearly causing an accident.rear tires have locked up on occasion while driving. Vehicle had to be towed back to ford dealership in newnan, georgia within one hour of picking it up from the same dealership after they had completed the recall software update.ford dealership in newnan, georgia then ran diagnostics and identified the lead mount cable as the issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and stated that the manufacturer would not have the remedy available at least until june of 2019; therefore, exceeding a reasonable amount of time to repair the vehicle. Spradley barr ford/lincoln of greeley (4901 w 29th st, greeley, co 80634) confirmed that parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The vin was unavailable.
I was driving down freeway and went to exit and heard a sound with a warning light with advancetrac service and power steering default. I was unable to move my steering more than just a few inches left or right and stopped immediately. I had to get it towed to the dealership do to the steering was unable to function any longer.
While making a long commute to portland or. From seattle wa., very early in the morning. It was a very rainy night, and i was trying to pass a semi who was struggling to go up a hill, as i pushed the pedal to pass him quickly, the truck shuddered, then lost all power and the check engine light was blinking. I avoided the truck and other traffic as i limped the truck to the side of the road. I then turned the truck off and it worked as it should. Light stayed on for a week or more. I very easily could have gotten in a major accident that morning, and i still have issues with my engine light coming on all the time. Off to the dealer i go. 2013 f-150 3.5l ecoboost. Less than 1200 mi. On vehicle. Not cool.
While driving to work today, and making a right hand turn, my vehicle completely shut off. That is, the engine died, the power steering died, and the brakes died while the truck came to a complete stop in the middle of the lane.let me reiterate - the truck completely died in the middle of the road and there was a complete loss of control over the vehicle. Had there been another vehicle, object, or person in front of me, i would have likely collided with them (thankfully the road was empty)research has lead me to find that this is a known issue with ford and the f150 series from years 2010 to approximately 2014. Fuse number 27 in the engine fuse box is undersized from the factory and melts due to the inability to handle the amperage. I found mine melted after today as well. Ford has "addressed" this issue with a tsb (ford tsb-15-0137 see attached) which it charges customers for to replace the fuse and wiring for the fuse with a new, up sized fuse and wires. They do not cover this free of charge unless your truck is under warranty.as this is a glaring safety issue that numerous people have reported, i ask that the nhtsa investigate this and have ford initiate a recall on the affected vehicles, and make the repair free of charge to customers. This issue is a manufacturing flaw and one that has the ability to cause loss of life and property due to failure to control the vehicle.some forums where people have reported the same issue:http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/engine-cut-off-low-oil-pressure-warning-11894/index16.htmlhttp://www.fordraptorforum.com/f39/ford-raptor-fuel-pump-fuse-issue-45129/index37.htmlhttps://www.f150forum.com/f12/engine-shots-off-while-driving-402848/http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/31-f150-ecoboost-problems/26113-engine-randomly-died-while-driving.html
Transmission is shifting erratically.dropping several gears for no reason.gas mileage has been slowly degrading over the last year.i believe this is because the transmission is over revving before shifting gears.the transmission fluid often smells burnt.
I received my ford recall notice on the need to reprogram power train module on or about april 1st 2019. My firstinstance of my 2013 f150 stx supercab, going into sudden downshift mode and then limp mode (blue wrench signal) occurred around april 12, 2019.i was driving at about 30 miles an hour on a city street when my truck when the truck downshifted by itself and the blue wrench light appeared.my truck went into limp mode and i was unable to drive. After pulling over to the side of the street,i turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and then the issue resolved itself.i took my vehicle into the ford dealership on april 18, 2019 where recall 19s07 6r80 (reprogram power train module) work was completed.on may 17, 2019, while driving about 30 miles an hour on a city street (without notice or cause) my truck again went into downshift mode, limp mode and the blue wrench light came on.same as the first instance, i pulled over to the side of the street, turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and when i turned on the truck again the issue was resolved.it was clear that this issue was electrical and no mechanical and the original recall work completed by the dealership did not resolve the issue.on 05/19/2019,i again took my truck to the ford dealership where this time the module lead frame was replaced after code p0722 was identified. I want the record to reflect that the first recall, reprogramming of the power train module did not work, and left me at risk of a second downshifting incident occurring.my truck had a second incident and after returning to the dealership a second time the leadframe was replaced. I also want to note that the dealership's data that the original recall work was completed on 04/26/2019 is inaccurate.the original recall work was performed by the dealership on 04/18/2019.
Brakes jump repaired but continued also skip when excelerating up hill
While cruising down the highway this past weekend at 75 mph the truck suddenly went down into 3rd gear, then down to first and went into a stall mode.i pressed down on the accelerator and received no response.the rpm gauge went up to almost 5000.i then placed the transmission in neutral and then back to drive, whereupon the vehicle finally went back to normal and in 6th gear!
Abrupt and unexpected transmission downshifting to first gear. Ford had a recall in 2016 for 2011-2012 f150 and never included my vehicle in the recall and then in 2019 they expanded the recall to include 2013 f150s. My vehicle has done this very dangerous downshift. I have called ford and taken it to the dealer and now they say its out of the 150,000 mile recall. Had they notified me when they first knew of this issue i would have been within the mileage limit. Ford failed to recall my vehicle when they first knew of this extremely dangerous transmission malfunction and now want me to pay $1000.00 for the repair.

As i am driving in motion on highway or street the truck will down shift by its self causing me to skid to a stop, as i try to accerlearate it will not upshift, for a minute or two. This has happened many times! causing many near crash conditions.
I recently had my truck serviced for the reprogramming of a transmission concern. The next day my engine light came on and it will not run higher than 1st gear. The dealership was not helpful at all. They could not look at my car for another two weeks.

Just under 60k miles and truck jumps gear at random from 1st to 5th while coming to a stop or while at a stop and vice vera while accelerating through 4th-5th gears the truck will drop into 1st gear resulting in a temporary loss of control. Had it happen to me 6 times over several weeks until the dealership was able to diagnose and obtain the molded lead frame to replace. Twice while on a city street at a stop sign making an uphill turn, several times while attempting to exit a parking lot. Ford has acknowledged this problem by issuing a recall for 2011-2012 f150s and issuing a tsb for 2013s but will not include 2013s as part of the recall. These recalls include # 16n02 and #12c23. This issue was an expense of nearly $500 to me, fortunately it did not cause an accident and cost a lot more. Ford's response to me was to keep my receipts in case thy add 2013s to the recall list i may then be reimbursed. Unsafe and unfortunate!
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving highway speeds, the transmission downshifted into first gear. Also, the wrench icon and check engine indicator illuminated. The failure recurred.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 42,450.
In normal city street, with my family, it's suddenly happened with no any speed maybe below the 40km,
While driving the speedometer will go from the current mph whether than is 10mph or 50mph and instantly drop to 0mph. The truck will then downshift to 1st gear and violently throw you forward in the vehicle.ford has a tsb out on this: 13-6-8. The tsb applies to 2011 - 2013 f150s. The 2011-2012 were recalled, but for some reason the 2013 was not.

While accelerating to merge into traffic on the interstate the truck shuttered violently and lost all power to the drive train.motor was still running but transmission would not engage for approximately 10-15 seconds.tapped accelerator 2 times and motor would rev up but transmission did not engage again until third attempt. I have my truck serviced regularly, this is not a low transmission fluid issue and seems to be the same issue reported by other f150 owners across the country.this is a safety issue, i was almost hit in the rear after this happened.the service light came on when this issue occurred; however, after going to the dealer and shutting the engine off the service light did not reappear when started again.
Dining acceleration the truck would sputter in higher rpm then just recently i would be doing 70 mph down the highway and i would get a service light with power reduction which in turn would require me to pull over shut the truck off restart it and try again. I would get back up to speed and it would repeat. Each time only getting about a mile up the road and it would repeat. Took the truck into the dealer as it was still in warranty the first time and they ignored the p2112 code and replaced a totally different sensor.

Transmission shifts erratically.sometimes it does not shift down from 5th gear and bogs down from a standing start (onviously) and i have to stop and put in park to shift again and sometimes that does not work.on a couple of occasions it shifted down to first on it's own and it felt like someone rear ended the vehicle the jolt was so hard.service dept says they cannot do anything because it is not recalled and they cannot duplicate it (dangerously happens at random!).i do not want to drive my family in this dangerous truck!
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission shifted on its own and the vehicle jerked suddenly without warning. The vehicle was included in two separate recalls and serviced at two different ford dealers.

While driving the truck at speeds of 40-60 mph the transmission automatically downshifts to a lower gear (6th to 1st) and the transmission starts shifting gears very erratic then smooths out and shifts back to 6th gear. Very concerning and unsafe especially when on the highway or in heavy traffic situations
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.
Driving in rainy conditions attempting to accelerate my truck started to lose power, shaking and check engine light started to flash.after getting out of traffic to pull over called my wife to bring me my o.b.d hand held found that i had codes p0300, p0304, p0305 and p0306 which is for cylinders misfiring .this is the second time this has happened in heavy traffic condition it could easily cause a traffic accident, does someone have to die before ya'll take action. My truck is at kenly ford in kenly north carolina and like the first time they play it off like i don't know what i am talking about and they always say they can't find anything wrong with it.please don't sit around and let this problem cost someone their life......
When driving vehicle at 35-40 mph abruptly downshifted to first gear. Rpm's went very high, i quickly slowed down enough for the truck to shift to second gear.this happened a couple weeks after i brought the truck in for the 19s19 safety recall to green ford in greensboro nc.this was the first time that this downshift happened.
Truck would downshift intermittently, truck would lock up, dashboard go dark, no power to pedal, hard downshifts...would do it under all circumstances
***ongoing lead frame issue, reflashing your transmission does not work*** yesterday, (2/2/2019) , my 2013 f150 with 6r80 transmission suddenly downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear @ approx. 45mph. This time the guy behind me had to jump a curb to avoid rear ending me, almost hitting a pedestrian. This vehicle had been taken into ford 2 months ago with same issue, they said nothing is wrong because they could find no code, told me to come back when it's "actually broken".took to independent shop, they performed the reflash per ford's 16v-248 recall because this truck is exhibiting the exact same issues. After flash, shifting was markedly harsh from 4th to 5th gear. During this incident, i got a large orange wrench warning that went away before i could photo. Pulled into parking lot, transmission stuck in 3rd gear while parked, gauges are blanked out, and airbag symbol is on. Was able to get photos of these this time.turned vehicle off for approx 2 minutes and restarted, condition was cleared with no residual warning lights, etc. Don't have the money for it, but i'm taking back to independant shop to have lead frame replaced at my own cost. This type of issue is a timebomb that will get someone killed, with so many complaints of this i'm not sure what the hold up is on an extended recall.

I have had several occasions where the vehicle appeared to slip into a lower gear.at low to normal speed, this caused wheel spin and tire screeching.in addition, the transmission seemed sluggish upon the occurrence and resisted a response from the accelerator.these occurrences all happened in city street driving at low to moderate speeds while the vehicle was in motion
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 thehighway.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the transmission downshifted into first gear on its own, the rear wheels seized, and there was a loss of power steering. The vehicle veered to the right into a ditch and then veered back onto the road towards oncoming traffic. There was no crash or damage. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. Poage ford (1110 us-61 bus, bowling green, mo 63334) was contacted by phone and the contact was informedthat the parts were not available to perform the recall repair for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 47,423. *asconsumer stated after the downshift it seemed as if all electrical power also failed. Car was traded in.
2 instances occurred:1/ the vehicle was in motion on a regular street road. Speed was around 30 mph.the gear suddenly shifted to firstgear and felt like the vehicle 'looked up'.it was a brutal stop. After stopping, the vehicle restarted and drove normally2/ 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.
For the past 6 months i have had the same issues that others have described.there are several issues happening.1. When coming to a stop then accelerating, most frequentlyafter getting off highway/interstate the trucks rpms will rev up to 4000, but the truck will never shift out of 1st gear.i have to come to a complete stop and/or restart the truck before it will operate normally.2. Again stop from off highway/interstate when accelerating the truck will slowly move and it will still be in 4th gear which will eventually get up to speed and start to act normal.3.when driving down the road at 30-50mph the truck will shift down to 1st gear from 6/5th gear casing the rear tires to lock and skid slowing the truck down quickly.i was just able to get off the road in time to not cause an accident.4.when driving down the road the truck will jerk like it down shifted and shows the wrench icon and then the speedometer drops to 0mph while still traveling down the road.the tachometer still works, but that is about it.i have to restart the truck before it will start working again.had mechanic check for codes, but there was none.this behavior is very erratic and a significant safety hazard,i worry for my safety.there should be a recall for this issue.

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.
On 10 aug 2019 i took my ford in for transmission recall, reprogramming to prevent uncontrolled downshifting.i had never had had any problems with downshifting prior to this date.once recall was done within a week my truck drastically downshifted twice before taking it back to the dealer who performed the recall.they said there was no problem with my truck and told me my wheels locking was not a sign of downshifting.now i continue to have downshifting issues and also am throwing a p0720 code.i just know that the downshifting broke the leadframe and i looking at a huge bill.now vehicle goes into limp mode where i have to stop and restart my car to get speedometer to show.
2013-2014 era f-150 with stock 5.0l v8. Only 47,000 miles. Still under factory ford powertrain warranty. Vehicle exhibits the common oem coolant system defect regarding the "y" or "t" connector and radiator hose connections. System excessively leaks coolant. Defect causes leakage of coolant when engine is operating or when sitting/cooling down. Loss of coolant may irreparably damage or destroy engine if not repaired. This may present a safety hazard if vehicle is in motion at time of failure. Defect is noted on numerous ford truck forums. Some of the oem parts necessary to repair/replace the defected items are not available from ford at this time. Per ford dealership, these unavailable parts are on backorder from ford for several weeks, approximately 4-5 weeks. Vehicle is not currently being driven due to defect, to prevent irreparable damage to the engine, for safety concerns, and oem parts are not available from ford at this time to repair the vehicle. Ford has not agreed to pay to repair the truck at this time.
When on interstate 76 my truck had abrupt shifting and loosing control of transmission, speedometer, odometer when reaching it apears it could be the molded lead frame. After shutting down and restarting it fixed itself then later it occurred again while on rt 267 in the center lane the truck locked into first gear during high traffic and i barely made it to the shoulder of the roadway (pennsylvania)
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the wrench warning indicator illuminated and the speed decreased. The vehicle would not accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The dealer diagnosed that the throttle body failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,770.
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 againwhile driving the 2013 ford f150 ecoboost. It suddently lost power, the wrench light came on, i tried to accelerate but was not able to. I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the truck and turn it back on. When i turned it back on it was working fine again. This has happened multiple times during the week. And ford is no help unless the check engine light comes on. It's is super unsafe to drive, yet ford says to keep driving the vehicle.
In 2019 i took my ford truck into the dealer for 2 separate recalls related to the drivetrain. In 2020, i returned to the dealership with drivetrain issues after my vehicle suddenly downshifted and i lost drivetrain power. I was able to turn the vehicle off and back on to get it to crossroads ford of fuquay. The service advisor, [xxx] , informed me that there were damages to parts of the drivetrain, and i would be responsible for the repairs. When i asked if the damages were a product of the sudden downshifting recall notice, she said yes. I contacted the recall department and started case # [xxx]- to document the issue. The representative from the recall department informed me that ford would not be responsible for the damages. I tried explaining the to the representative that the damages should fall under the recall because the vehicle continued to have downshift issues after bringing it into have the recall repaired at the dealership in 2019. The representative told me that because my vehicle was at the present time over the warranty mileage of 150,000 mi., the vehicle was not eligible for repairs. I explained that it was eligible when i brought it in for warranty repair in 2019, but the representative turned me to the crossroads ford of fuquay dealership which sold me the vehicle. The rep said it would be considered "workmanship" issues. After speaking with the dealership, they dropped my bill by ~$300, but i still had to pay over $1500 for repairs that resulted from the downshifting.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Faulty lead frame in transmission causing abrupt down shifts from 6th to 1st at high speeds as well as getting stuck in any one particular gear for prolonged periods of time at all travel speeds.i have video footage of the transmission stuck in 5th gear at 0 mph.repair bills totaling $552.95 attached.note mileage is 65289.
The vehicle will unexpectedly shift into 1st gear no matter what speed you are at.i had it shift from 5th to 1st at 55 mph and lock up the rear wheels.i immediately pulled off the road and had it towed.
My truck had 3 separate incidences, the first two times the truck would downshift without warning and the tachometer would jump around sporadically while the truck lurched. The third incident would be that taking off from a cold start the vehicle would start out in 5th gear and the speedometer would not move from 0.
And start up the truck shifts from 1st to 5th gear and back down and all gears in between shifting is erratic and dangerous problem goes away after about 5 stops and restarts wrench on dash illuminates also check engine light
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. On several occasions, while driving various speeds, the vehicle downshifted and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to nielson ford (375 nj-23, sussex, nj 07461, (973) 702-8000) multiple times, but no diagnostic failure codes were found and the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired and continued to downshift and stalled. The vehicle was taken back to nielson ford where it was diagnosed that the lead frame assembly and sleeves needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and confirmed that there were no recalls associated with the vin. The contact was advised to contact nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Output speed sensor failure causing transmission to get stuck in gear. Occasionally it will shift down in gear as you are accelerating causing a stalling effect to the truck. Has happened several times to my young son while driving on the highway at full speed. Speedomoter will also go completely dead. Usually pulling over cutting off the truck, waiting and restarting will take it out of the 5th or 1st gear it is stuck in. Sometimes this takes several tries. Very unsafe on the side of a busy road! had 2 transmission shops run diagnostics and it is the faulty speed sensor requiring entire lead frame to be replaced. Both shops told me to reach out to ford before i pay to have it repaired with them. Same problem as previous ford truck models '11 and '12 that ford has recalled but ford will take no liability for this malfunction. Called 2 ford dealerships that both played dumb to the well documented problem. Called ford itself and spoke to a csr i presume in another country from the broken english that said only there is no recall...absolutely no help or information from ford. I am having this repaired on my own dime as it is threatening the life of my son and everyone else on the road. Shame on ford!
Relating to the ford 19s07 recall. The truck will shift into 1st gear while driving on the highway causing the rear tires to lock up and a sudden unexpected rapid deceleration and temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The recall was announced in february of 2019 and it is now may 31st of 2019 and no remedy has been provided for the 3.5l ecoboost f150's. This is a massive saftey hazard that could cause severe injury or death.
Sudden downshift ofautomatic transmission to first gear at 55 mphconsumer stated molded lead frame was replaced and repaired.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact called apple ford at 410-290-1100 (located at 8800 stanford blvd, columbia, md 21045) and was informed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. The vin was not provided.
Driving appx. 60 miles per mile.the powertrain malfunction light came on power was reduced and i had to pull over,shut off the engine,then restart to clear the alarm(this is the second time this has happened) the ford garage can not find any thing wrong?because the alarm in cleared.
While accelerating at highway speeds, the throttle suddenly went dead and an orange wrench appeared on the dash. I was able to maneuver the truck to the side of the road and shut it off. When it restarted i was able to drive home.the dealer was not able to find any codes. Dealer would not repair under warranty without a code.ford referred me back to the dealer. This is unsafe and apparently is a faulty electronic throttle body.
While accelerating,the vehicle has suddenly dropped down to a lower gear, and flashed a wrench symbol on the dashboard.when this occurs,all dashboard indicators zero out and speed drops drastically. This has occured on both a city street and on the highway.the time it occured one the highway, i nearly lost control of the vehicle.after the second time the issue occurred, i took the vehicle to a dealership.they inspected and discovered dtc code p0722 and diagnosed that it was due to a faulty lead connector. My own research revealed a recall for the 2011 and 2012 model year f150s to fix the exact same problem, a faulty speed sensor.now i'm paying $650 for something that's been a problem with other model years.
1. While driving at highway speeds (around 70 mph) the vehicle suddenly down-shifted into 2nd gear. The rear tires briefly locked up, but control of the vehicle was managed.2. While driving, both in town and on the highway, the vehicle would downshift from 6th gear to 5th. The vehicle would then not shift below 3rd gear when brought to a stop. Turning the vehicle off and on again would reset the problem. The maintenance light and airbag light illuminated. The speedometer went to 0. The odometer and other digital readings in the center cluster on the dash showed all dashes. After several of these events, the check engine light also illuminated.3. After one of the events described in 2 above, the vehicle was stopped, shifted into reverse, and then returned to drive. The vehicle would not move and acted as though it was in neutral. Shutting the vehicle off and on again corrected the problem. The local ford dealership is aware of the problem and has scheduled an appointment for a diagnosis. Ford safety recall notice 19s07 was performed in march 2019. Ford safety recall notice 19s19 was performed in july 2019, after the first event, but did not correct the issue.
Transmission - molded leadframe malfunction on 5.0 motor. The 2011-2012 recall for the molded leadframe malfunction also affects 2013 vehicles such as ours leading to the truck loosing power, stalling out, shifting on it's own from 5th to 1st and the other way leaving the truck a wreck waiting to happen at any time during driving. This risks the lives of the driver, passengers and everyone else on the road. When this happens you must bring the vehicle to a complete stop, shut it off, wait for computer to cycle, then restart. Ford should be expanding the recall to replace this deadly malfunctioning part at their cost. This has happened at least 10 times within 30 days of owning the vehicle which was bought from maxwell ford in austin texas.the last time this happened it was in a parking lot after just starting the truck and backing out of a stall.
Vehicle gets stuck in first gear sometimes and wont shift, several times vehicle has shifted to first gear on its own,also vehicle shifts erratically and gets stuck in third gear, dash quits speedo, tach, info center on dash quits working as well as odometer. Have to key off to re-set. This has happen mostly on city streets and occasionally on the highway.
Truck shifts up & down by self. Jerks hard when shifting. When stopped speedo goes to 30 to 50 and shows in 3rd gear. At start in this situation it jumps violently forward. When trying to merge with traffic will not shift out of 1st gear. Restart and take back roads as it is not safe in traffic or where there are pedestrians at a cross walk. Phil long ford denver is waiting to hear from ford. Ford has started a case report on this vehicle but has not responded. I am concerned this is a big safety problem. This appears to happen when the transmission temperature goes up over 200 degrees f. The problems happen while stopped, stopping, starting highways or secondary roads, thishappened 2 times within the last month.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) was received. After notifying green ford (3800 w. Wendover ave, greensboro, nc), the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
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.
My 2013 f150 ecoboost when driving down the highway has downshifted from 4th into 1st gear on one occasion. And on three other occasions i have been driving down highway between 60-75 mph and truck would downshift on it's own from 6th gear to 3rd gear. After this would happen it would not shift lower than third gear unless pulled off side of road and shut truck off for few minutes and also would not go above fifth gear. Ford dealer says was common problem on 2011 and 2012 models but seems to carry into 2013-2014 models from what they been seeing. No recall on 2013-2014 models though so i had to pay big money to fix problem that ford knows about and would like reimbursed if this becomes a recall.
While in motion on the highway and city streets the transmission downshifts from high gear to low gear. This causes the vehicle to dramatically decelerate and over rev the motor. A code does not appear when the event happens. Occasionally a code appears that looks like a wrench. When this code appears the speedometer quits working. The code will not stay on long enough to have it checked out.. I have taken it to the service department. They have done a bump start and changed transmission fluid / filters. It was good for a month then started again.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked on a down hill driveway, it began to roll backwards. The gear was shifted into park, but the parking brake was not applied. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. On a different occasion, while driving 50 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle began to shake forcefully. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to exceed 50 mph. The contact was able to park on the side of the road for thirty minutes before restarting the vehicle and continuing to drive with no failure. The contact opened the hood and noticed that the radiator was covered in oil. The vehicle was taken to rod baker ford sales inc. (located at 16101 s lincoln hwy, plainfield, il 60586, (815) 436-5681), but was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,219.
I went to pass a slow moving vehicle and only had a short distance to pass.i pressed down hard on the accelerator, the engine shutdown, truck was coasting, and the orange traction slip light came on. Then the engine came back on and i was able to finish passing.this was in carlsbad, nm.i took it to the local ford dealer they said there nothing showed on their diagnostic computer,but they did try to charge me $150 labor.i refused to pay, because this is a new truck and the incident happened twice driving into carlsbad.i have tried to duplicate the incident once since,but the engine did not shutdown.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the gear shifter independently shifted from sixth to first gear without warning. The vehicle spun around in a circle more than twice in another direction. The contact had to maneuver the vehicle back around in the correct direction. Stowe ford (104 e crockett st, gordon, tx 76453, (254) 693-5323) was notified. The manufacturer was notified and indicated that this was a known issue, but a recall had not been issued. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.
Vehicle went into "limp mode" while traveling at high speed creating a very dangerous situation.this occurred 2 more times before i could get an appointment at the dealer.the dealer could note find any codes but decided my electronic throttle body was defective and not covered under my power train warranty.ford customer service extended warranties for other vehicles with the same part but will not include my vehicle.
Upon acceleration, generally from a stop,the vehicle will, thud, lose power and cease to accelerate despite pedal being pushed. It also tends to be accompanied by the speedometer jumping.no warnings or messages are displayed in the vehicle. After pressing the pedal several times and nearly rolling to a stop, control over acceleration will eventually resume. The loss of control over acceleration causes a safety risk, especially when pulling out into traffic.this issue does not occur consistently, but was happening with some regularity approximately 1 month ago as well.
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 noticeda 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 havingthe 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.
2013 ford f-150 shifts from 5th or 6th to 1st gear without warning. Truck slows down at a extremely fast pace, engine repair light comes on, airbag light comes on and speedometer stops working. Happened while going 70 mph almost causing me to wreck my truck. This was on saturday night, started my truck on monday and ran fine, on the way to the dealership transmission problem happened again twice on the way, dealership reprogrammed ecm and was notified that they were still having problem and needed to replace the molded lead frame to fix the problem.
A drastic shift from 5th gear down to 1st &/or a reduction in speed brought about by braking, without a corresponding downshift. So you either get slammed forward by sudden downshift, or creep through an intersection in 5th gear. This has happened numerous times in the past couple of months.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly downshifted from fifth to second gear, causing the speed to abruptly decrease. In july of 2019, the vehicle was serviced at gloff ford (1206 n ave g, clifton, tx) per nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train), but the failures continued. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the failure was duplicated; however, they determined that a simple tune-up was needed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 148,000.
While driving the vehicle at 50mph the truck suddenly shifted from 5th gear to 1st gear causing the rear wheels to loose traction and loss of control into on coming cars in a turn lane.after a few seconds noticing the rpm's reached 6800 the truck shifted to 3rd gear and i was able to avoid impact.no trouble lights or any indications were given.i'm filing a complaint to see if any other owners of this year truck are having this problem.there is a recall 16s19 for 2011-2012 ford trucks but when asking ford about my 2013 doing the same thing i get shunned.the damage caused by the down shift has resulted in the truck needing a complete new transmission which was stated by ford's field service rep.my truck has been sitting at the dealer since april 18th and is still not drivable after 2 different attempts to fixing the problem.
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.
While traveling at a speed of 80 mph on a major highway, the vehicle stalled due to the malfunction of the lead frame conductor/valve body which is a recalled part. With the help of a truck driver that saw me swerve due to the downshift, i was able to pull over. I had my two daughters (ages 8 & 4) in the vehicle with me.
Transmission issue. F-150 shifts from 6th to 1st gear when driving at 60 mph. Speedometer drops to zero for 2-3 seconds along with tachometer spiking. Quickly shift to manual and vehicle recovers. This has happened to me last 3 mornings and am taking to dealer tomorrow. F-150 has 74500 miles on it and have not had any other issues, but this is a big safety concern with some of the other complaints i have read. I'm worried the tires are going to lock up and i'm going to cause an accident if the issue is not repaired. I'm hoping the dealer covers the repair under my extended warranty, but without the codes i'm worried it will be a argument. Please add 2013 f-150's to the recall! i've read the lead frame transmission needs to be replaced.
Transmission started randomly shifting.in one case it went from 6th gear to 1st and locked up the wheels.obviously this occurs when car is moving and shifting.lead frame of the transmission is what was defective.the problem occurred with 93000 miles on the odometer.6th to 1st shift at speed and locking up the wheels is deadly.
While traveling approx. 30 mph transmission shifts suddenly into 1st or shifts suddenly into 5th/ dash info disappears/ orange wrench displayed. Suspect bulkhead connector.
On this vehicle, i rarely use 4wd, except in winter conditions. I could not get the vehicle out of 4wd low back into 4x2, even while the foot was on the brake and in neutral.i attempted to drive over a small pile of shoveled snow at the end of my driveway entering a city street andi shifted it into 4wdlow. The vehicle was in neutral and the brake was applied. It made a horrible grinding and then a "thud" from the powertrain and lurched forward.after i was out of the driveway i decided to take it out of 4wd low, so i stopped, and with the brake applied, i shifted to neutral and then selected 4wd high. The vehicle advised to pull forward so i shifted to drive and nothing happened. The vehicle would not move and had a very high rpm. And the speedometer started climbing. I then shifted back to neutral and then tried reverse. Same result, i got the same, no movement high rpm and then all of a sudden the gears started to grind horribly! i immediately shifted back to neutral. I even attempted to shift to 4x2, but still would not move.it seemed as it was stuck in between gears. I then had to get out of the vehicle while in neutral and pushed the vehicle forward, as this is what the onboard system was saying. It wanted you to pull forward, but nothing was engaged to let you pull forward. No other option than to push. After a few tries of this pushing and shifting method, it finally decided to catch and it slammed back into 4wd high, but it also sounded like the front end of the truck was being ripped apart at that point. It was in gear for me and moving again though, and i was able to shift it back into 4x2 immediately.
Lead frame wiring harness in transmission problem, causing no signal to speedometer and eratic shifting of transmission. Had truck in dealership 6 months prior to lead frame failure, with transmission complaint and they did a software update . The mileage was under 150k at that time of the original complaint
The truck i bought has been shaking since the day i picked it up and brought it home. At 55 mph the truck has a distinct wobble. It has been back to sharpnack ford twice for the problem and i was told they drove four other trucks on their lot and they all do the same thing. Also they took the tires off of mine and swapped them with another truck with the same result. I was told they took the drive shaft apart and rebuilt it, still no fix.after two times back to the shop, i was told by the head mechanic that ford told him no more repairs will be done to this truck. I can see the bed wobble as i am going down the road and am confident this is where the problem is. Ford is not willing to do anything about it claiming the frequency is within specification limits. I have also driven a 2012 and a 2013 and both of them do the same thing.i'm not sure this is a problem that will cause imminent danger to anyone unless you factor in the"road rage" someone will have after paying 45k for a brand new piece of garbage that the manufacturer refuses to do anything about to fix.
The contact owns a 2013 f-150. While driving 35 mph in third gear, the vehicle gear unexpectedly shifted to fifth gear and then to first gear with the power train warning indicator illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. Once the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The contact also mentioned that the failure occurred periodically. The vehicle was taken to tom's ford (200 nj-35, keyport, nj 07735, (732) 264-1600), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.
Several times my transmission shifted from 6th gear to first gear while i was driving in traffic approximately 35-45 mph.this caused my rear tires to lock up and was almost ran over by vehicles behind me.once it happened while pulling my utv trailer on the freeway at 65 mph. I was in the right lane because of this happening before, and as soon as it happened i shifted into neutral and turned my emergency flashers on and pulled off to the side.
Transmission would downshift for no reason. Also sometimes it would try to start off in the wrong gear.turning the engine off and on resets the issues, but it come back. Dealer fixed the issue, around $1000.
Travelling in 30-35mph zone when all power drops - the dash screen lit up orange with the wrench icon, engine light came on, throttle response was lost which made the truck slow down. I veered over into the turn lane as the truck came to a stop. When it stopped, it was idling very roughly. The throttle was barely responsive... I could only inch forward (even if i floored it), but that's about it. I shut the truck off, waited 10 seconds, turned it back on, and all was well.this has happened 3 times in 3 weeks.i would not want to be on the highway when this happens.
Transmission would slip out of gear periodically. Dash would also reset.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to stall. The contact stated that the power train malfunction warning light was illuminated. The contact drove at a slow speed to his residence. The contact called the local dealer waxahachie ford (1780 w. Hwy 287 bypass, waxahachie, tx 75167, (877) 223-7050) and the dealer was made aware of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 157,180.
While traveling on the open highway at 65mph, a yellow wrench appeared in my dash information panel and the vehicle entered "limp mode".the engine shut down and i had to make an emergency transition onto the shoulder in heavy traffic.the vehicle was able to restart, however, it had the same problem two additional times on the way to the nearest ford dealership.the obd diagnostic code was p2112
A sudden downshift occurred while driving my 2013 ford f150 on a four-lane highway at approximately 60 mph january 31,2018. It happened twice that day, and i immediately took it to my local ford dealer. They said i shouldn't drive it until it was fixed. They still have it as of today, 2/7/2018.my description of what happened exactly matches the description in your documents published 12/25/2017(?). The description reads: "...automatic transmission slipping unexpectedly into first gear, causing the vehicle to slow down suddenly without warning."."the unexpected downshift can also lock up the rear tires, or cause them to skid."all of this happened including the rear wheels locking up, causing a momentary loss of control when it happened.this condition in 2011 and 2012 f-150s resulted in a recall. It is my understanding that you are considering a recall of 2013 f-150s based on more recent complaints.this is a frightening event and should be looked at.
Truck would drop out of gear while driving, and most gauges stopping working when this happened. Happened 3 times before i got a repair. 2 of those times were at about 30-35 mph and the transmission came out of 4th or 5th and jumped into 1st gear, throwing the truck around a bit. I happened to be slowing down each of those times and it didn't become a safety concern. The 3rd time was at least 60 mph on a freeway, but this time the transmission luckily stayed in neutral, and i coasted to a stop at the side of the freeway. This time gave a dtc of p07022. I shut off the engine and everything worked ok after restarting. This is when i stopped driving this truck until i could get it repaired. Took to dealer, they replaced the lead frame connector, but not the entire lead frame. Shifting has been a little weird after that, i may have to take it in again.
Traveling on the interstate during heavy rains. Traffic in my lane stopped. I tried to change lanes and accelerate briskly. When i tried to accelerate, the vehicle started to shutter and the engine power died. It seemed to go into limp mode. The check engine light flashed several times. The vehicle would not accelerate and left me hanging in the travel lane with faster traffic almost causing a crash. Vehicle is one week old and has approximately 600 miles on it. The engine is the ford ecoboost 3.5l v6. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted to get it to drive normal again.
Transmission recall for model year 2011-2013 ford f-150. The transmission in my 2013 f150 would down shift unexpectedly almost stopping abruptly. It happened twice but afterwards, on numerous occasions it would up shift without warning leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate basically stalled in the street. Twice it happened while driving on the highway at speeds above 45 mph, leaving me only able to coast onto the shoulder. The vehicle was diagnosed at waldorf ford and i was told that it needed a new speed sensor located on the lead frame of the trans. I had the work completed but later realized that there's a recall on the vehicle for the same problem. I was told that my truck was not included but was not informed why. It's with in the model year range, diagnosed by ford with exact same problem and symptoms but for whatever reason not included. I've contacted ford on a number of occasions. If you could assist in resolving this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Truck shifts into first gear from fourth and fifth gearsand back wheels lock uphas happened several times in the past few weeks
Traveling at 70 mph on the highway the transmission shifted into 1st gear causing the rear tires to skid and the rear of the vehicle to loose traction.this lasted a few seconds before it shifted back into 6th gear and i was able to maintain control.slowed to stop at a red light and vehicle shifted into first gear at about 20 mph then jerked forward when coming to a complete stop.the next day while making a left turn on a city street the transmission shifted to neutral causing me to stall into approaching traffic.checking other complaints this appears to be an issue with the "lead frame module" with these transmissions.took the vehicle to the dealer who replaced the module but also had to replace the transmission valve body which was apparently damaged in the erratic shifting.i have had the vehicle for 5 years and 4 months, which is 4 months over the warranty date.the vehicle has only 50,000 miles on it which is 10,000 under the mileage warranty on the drivetrain.i had to pay a significant amount for the transmission repairs. This issue is a definite safety hazard which could cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Jumps from high to low gear while truck is in motion when driving at low and high speeds on country, city and highway roads.has also occurred when stopped to make a turn into traffic.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000(power train).the contact called the randall ford dealer (479-452-1311, located at 5500 rogers ave, fort smith, ar 72903) and it was confirmed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
When driving in motion, my vehicle downshifted automatically locking up the brakes.the speedometer stopped working and the airbag began to read inoperable via the display.in another situation (which occurred several times) when starting from a stationary position my vehicle failed to shift out of 1st gear.i took the vehicle to be serviced by ford, they advised the lead frame on the transmission was bad and they replaced it.upon further research, i found that 10-12 ford f-150's from the kansas city plant had this item recalled.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started to shake violently and hesitated when shifting gears. The contact mentioned that the vehicle would constantly drive roughly. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would contact him at a later date. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 800.
5 plus instances of noticeable gear shift shuddering during both up and downshifting at random times while at cruising speeds above 25+ mph.a few other instances the speedometer was observed moving rapidly and erratically while on a highway speeds along with a transmission shudder.more recently the transmission performed a significant hard down shift i never experienced before and was not expecting.all issues were observed beginning january 2018.truck brought to dealer 4/10/2018, courtesy ford breaux bridge, la.
Widely reported- please read carefully! very similar to existing recall*, but not the same. Potentially deadly. Current recall does not address the sudden up-shifts mentioned here.2013 ford f-150mfg defect: molded leadframe assy in 6r80 transmissionsymptoms: intermittent loss of speed signal causes sudden/unexpected slamming upshift from 1st gear to 5th when accelerating from a stop, causing a complete and unexpected loss of all acceleration. Indications: 5th gear suddenly indicated on display, dashes replace numbers on speed/mileage related displays (mpg, odometer). Speedometer may read 0, airbag symbol pops on, large orange wrench symbol may briefly appear. Pressing on accelerator does not cause downshift. Motor may stall. Remains in 5th gear without some other corrective action. Turning engine off and back on will reset the computer, and vehicle operates normally until next occurrence. Dangers: this could be fatal when pulling out into oncoming traffic, both from the side (pulling out in front of oncoming traffic from side street) or from rear (sudden, unexpected loss of speed/ no brake lights). Ford cannot fix this by re-programming the vehicle to ignore the faulty sensor any more than you can ignore an oncoming cement truck or train.repair is approximately $800. If not recalled, owners may try to live with the risks or trade to an unknowing person, endangering lives of others.*this defective part is also the root cause of ford recall #19s07, involving sudden violent down-shifts (not upshifts). Ford is avoiding the problem by re-programming the ecu to ignore the intermittent speed signals, allowing the transmission to fail more gracefully, defects to be repaired at owner's expense. This approach will not work for the up-shift problem. The defective part should be immediately replaced at ford's expense to correct both problems.
This has happened 5 times. When starting to take off in low speeds, 20-30 mph, the transmission will slip into neutral then into first slowing the truck down rapidly. Also, while travelling at highway speeds on cruise control, the vehicle will drop to 5th gear and the speedometer will drop to 0, the odometer and all display panel shows nothing, the cruise will not work, and the airbag light comes on.
Have taken our truck twice to the dealer we bought from (chevy dealer) for transmission problems and they haven't been able to find anything wrong. The transmission feels like it will randomly slip into neutral, and when i say randomly i mean while going 60mph on the highway or from driving after stopping at a stop sign or traffic light. We press the gas and get nowhere. Sometimes, we switch into neutral, then back into drive and that fixes the problem, but it mostly happens as we are driving, which causes our speed to slow dramatically. It takes around 20-30seconds for it to right itself. We bought our truck in june 2018 and the first time this happened was 3wks later while we were on vacation. Now it happens regularly/daily. We were hoping it was just a transmission fluid problem, since the last time we took it to the shop (jan.9, 2019), they changed the fluid and it seemed to be working fine, however this happened again just a few days ago.
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.
I took my truck in almost a year ago in march to have recall on transmission downshift repaired. Just in the last month i have had to bring my truck in 3 times. Twice my truck downshifted while on the sh-130 tollway going 80mph and down shifting to 40 mph almost causing me to wreck or be struck by another vehicle. Again today i was driving my vehicle on hwy and engine light came on. Same effect except this time my truck refused to move without turning it off in the middle of traffic. This is 3xs my life has been in jeopardy in a short period of time. I have taken it to ford dealership where they insisted transmission downshift issue was repaired and suggested a tune up was best option. Hundreds of dollars out and again i'm in same situation i was. 3 x near wrecking or death and all in under a month. Initial date of service 1/3/20 serviced again 1/21/20. Now need service again. I have kept up with scheduled maintenance on vehicle and it does not have very many miles on it.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 53 mph, the transmission erroneouslydownshifted from fifth to first gear, causing the vehicle to abruptly slow down. Also, while driving various speeds, the transmission would rapidly shift between fourth and third gears, and fifth and sixth gears, which caused the vehicle to jerk. The vehicle was taken to ferrario ford (2472 corning rd, elmira, ny), but the cause of the failures could not be determined. The manufacturer was also notified. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Had recall done last year for speed sensor automatically down shifting. Starting june 16th 2020 the vehicle started hard shifting between 3rd and 4th gear. It jerks the trucks it up shifts. Seems like there would be some warranty on parts from a recall. I?m at about 154000 miles, so we were told we just missed the warranty. Being the sensor was replaced seems like there should be some kind of warranty at least for that part.
Vehicle was in motion on the highway traveling at 65-70 mph. Speedometer stops functioning and indicates 0 mph. Odometer indicates a series of dashes "-------". Thetransmission speed remains at constant rpm regardless of pressure applied to throttle. Indicator for powertrain malfunction/reduced power/electronic throttle control momentarily appears. Driver applies pressure to throttle and hears the engine response, but there's no apparent response in the drivetrain. Drive coasts off highway and shifts from neutral back into drive. Is able to get back into a gear. Turning the vehicle off and restarting seems to correct the issue temporarily.
I have some strange shifting issues with this truck ford has denied me a fix. As of now, it seems to be consistent with the split two-piece drive shaft "bump". (spline yoke needs grease) or tsb 14-0090 for the rear differential. It feels like sometimes you hit a bump but the road is smooth. Drive shaft spline needs grease? also, very rough "clunk" when shifting from reverse to drive and vice-versa. Second gear shuddering at times under slight acceleration. Rough shifting random, but it happens from time to time. I've been to one dealership several times. I've contacted ford customer service for some assistance...the first time i got basically nowhere. This time, the representative from ford says she cannot talk to me at the times i am available. I feel like they are hiding the problems with refusal to "fix" the truck. I know i've read all over the internet this is happening to other f-150 owners. Very frustrating and annoying. I've talked to a local area drive-train specialty shop. He said to bring it by and look at it for me at a cost. However, my truck is still within the drive-train warranty...but ford refuses to assist their very own customers. Not a very happy customer any more. I just want my truck repaired permanently. Oh, yes, the dealership did finally replace the front pump assembly in the transmission earlier this year, but that has not resolved the problem.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle independently downshifted gears while driving various speeds. The failure occurred without warning. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but no failure was detected. Sanderson ford (6400 n 51st ave, glendale, az 85301) was contacted and the contact was informed that the speed sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 73,170.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds, the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration attempts as the check engine warning light illuminated intermittently. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle erroneously decelerated when the accelerator pedal was being depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 3,400.
Serious vibration at or around 45 to 70mph . Steering wheel vibration , front end vibration . Usually around the time the transmission temp hits the normal temptruck starts vibrating . Usually starts at 40mph and gets worst with higher mph . Bought the truck back in nov of 2018 all was fine till about 2 months ago when the vibration started . Not very happy.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19c075000 (power train). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Like many other ford throttle body complaints in vehicles 2010-2013 mine has the same electrical connection problem from the vehicle computer to the throttle body itself. Sending the vehicle into the "limp home mode " while in motion at any speed causing a safety issue by, at any given time losing throttle control.this vehicle needs to be included in the earlier recall ( customer satisfaction program via ford motor company ) of electronic throttle body defects.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear and caused the contact to lose control. The contact was able to shift the vehicle into neutral and pull over. The vehicle was restarted and driven in first gear to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power train control module needed to be reprogrammed and updated. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
I wason carswell turning right to forrestal towards wynn when my truck acted wired my speed wasnt reading no mileageand my truck wasnt accelerate right it was going up too much on rpms so i decided to park and turn it off and then turn it on again so i did so then it went away so i turned left on wynn towardsdaniel drive and turnedright because i was going to lisas chicken when i was coming back to carswell the same way i went it did it again so i got it homw and havent moved it sinceand also a while back my truck locked my front right brake when i was coming from oklahomacasino going towards arlington on hwy 114 and all of a sudden it didnt let me drive and i barely made it to a gas staion right next to that hwy where 114 and 377 meet
Today while driving 70mph my truck shifted to 1st gear causing the truck to lock the rear tires, swerve from left to right, rpm's to the max rev limit, loss of power, dash cluster went blank, wrench symbol showed up, then wrench symbol was gone with a blank dash cluster. Truck then jumped to 3rd gear, back to 1st, then back up to 5th gear. Pulled over turned of truck, took out key, re-started truck and issue was gone. This has happened multiple times, however, i was at 10-20mph. Once at 55mph shift to 3rd gear, back to 5th, then to 1st, up to 3rd. Every time the truck will end up at 3rd gear. The truck will not shift down to first manually, you must take of in 3rd gear without any power. There was a recall for 2011-2012 ford f150's. There are multiple complaints all over the internet with these same problems all with years ranging from 2011-2017. O feel this is an ongoing problem with a huge safety concern witb your vehicle going from 70mph down to first gear causing the wheels to lock up and swerve all over the highway. Do people have to die before ford will recognize this is a problem with many years of the model!!!!!i'm happy my family was not in the truck when this happens. I car pool kids everyday on the highway. Would you feel safe doing this knowing that ford knows about this issue from past years. Please make these trucks safe!!! i took it to a ford dealer and they hooked up the computer to my truck, and the computer showed 0 codes found. Every time this happens you turn off the vehicle, re-start it (sometimes you have to do it multiple times) the truck will drive perfect until it decides to act up again.
Lead frame, output speed sensor. Wrench icon and slow to up shift. No acceleration and loss of gauges
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.
Struggling gear to gear doing acceleration and spontaneously downshifting periodically on its own. I have participated in two recalls dealing with the unexpected downshifting but no change to the issue i am still having the same problems the last recall was 7/12/2019. It seems like to use recalls are not fixing the issue what can i do? i will kindly appreciate some type of feedback to steer me in the right direction for i am locked into financial responsibilities with this vehicle at the same time i fear for my safety and others around me?
This is the 3rd time that this new f-150 truckengine suddenly hascut off. I was at the ford dealership in belmont, n.c on monday june 17,2013. They said they could not find anything wrong. They then said they put in a new update code. I now have only drove about another 50 miles since monday. It cut off again while i was driving about 30 mph on a busy charlotte, nc street. I thought my nuckles were going to part since i had to control the vehicle and not cause an accident. I am schedule to take in back to keith hawthorne ford on tuesday, june 25,2013--there phone number 704-825-5186-service person- will
Takata recall. I put my truck in drive and as soon as i get over 2-5 mph it shifts from 1st gear to 3rd. When this happens i loss the speedometer and my turn signals will not turn off. Check engine light comes on with a big wrench in the center of my gauges. Will not down shift below 3rd and will not go into 6th. Also the odometer,mpg, and trips all go blank.code p0720. Output speed sensor circuit. I'm told by ford and a transmission shop that it's in the transmission! truck just hit 69147 miles and i haven't owned it three weeks yet.
Transmission shifts to 1st gear, locks break for a split second, speedometer goes to zero while in motion. Happens on both highway and city street. Read up on it and seems like it could be the molded leadframe but not positive. Happens often, about every other week
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.
Vehicle speedometer will stop working while moving and vehicle goes into limp mode only 5th and 3rd gear. If you are pulling out the vehicle will stall leaving the possibility for a crash. Ford reflashed the pcm per the recall didn't fix the issue. Now the say they need to change the lead fram which was recalled on trucks before this year but not this truck. A lot of these trucks are having this issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 mph, the downhill assist warning light illuminated and the down hillassist engaged independently. As a result, the transmission downshifted and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,800.
Sudden down shift causing whining noise in transmission fearful of crash and lateral damage to transmission no resolve from ford on problem no software available
Upon entering freeway merging traffic i had a hard acceleration .my truck stumbled would not go any faster then 30 mph by then the semi was on my rear causing a serious problem had to pull off to the shoulder .waited a few minutes and the problem seam to go away. This has occurred numerous times.
"output speed sensor"the recall was put out on feb 12th 2019 and at this point they still don't know when the software will be available to correct the issue. This truck is our daily driver and i am traveling with our child - they say the recall could cause the transmission to drop from 6th gear to 1st gear - this does not make me feel safe. We are going on 3 months now- i called today and they still have no idea when the software will be available.
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.
Eco boost engine lost power when trying to accelerate and pass.this has happened three times now and no response from ford. One time it almost caused an accident. Dealer says nothing is wrong!
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.
I was on the highway driving along at a constant 65mph and suddenly my truck jumped in a lower gear, rps reved way up, the steering wheel jerked almost out of my hand, tires even had a slight squeal. It almost felt like i had hit something. Almost immediately it was back to normal and back to resumed speed.
My vehicle experienced a sudden complete failure of one of the transmission cooler lines just before the quick disconnect. This occurred while driving under normal conditions and under acceleration.the failure was unexpected and allowed a large amount of hot trans oil to spray on the hot exhaust manifold and turbo charger on the r side of the engine. The amount of white smoke was enough to stop traffic behind me.oil spray was noticeable on the entirety of my truck.please note this is a major risk of fire happening. The volume of hot trans fluid combined with hot exhaust and the even hotter turbos could easily ignite.online research has shown me that this is a very common failure on the f 150 trucks in this model year range.the fact that the dealer had all lines in stock tells me this is fairly common.please note the attached picture is not my actual failed line but that of an identical failure to mine found on the internet.
While entering traffic, form a standing start, the truck accelerated fine until such time as it reached approximately 65 klm/hr. Or approx. 40 miles per hour, wherein itlost power dramatically. It did not stall, or lose power steering, or brakes, but there was absolutely no power whatsoever to the drive train. None.this happened on a two lane highway, where the speed limit is 80 klm/hr. Or 45 miles per hour. There had been on coming traffic headed west, and i was turning east, a left turn. The on coming traffic was a ways away, so i had lots of time as far as the east bound traffic was concerned, but upon making the east bound lane the truck lost power. There was a semi bearing down on me headed east, so i left the road. The semi passed me without incident, but just barely. Once at the side of the road i noticed a wrench icon on the dash. I turned the engine off, waited a few minutes, turned it back on and was able to drive on. I live in ontario, canada. I have used my sister's address for your form. I hope you do not mind?
Erratic transmission shifting 5th gear to 1st gear while at highway speeds!shifted to neutral to get to emergency shoulder.placed truck in park, checked transmission fluid, no issues.restarted truck went to pull forward truck went 1st to 5th gear no power to wheels rpm elevated to 3500-4000, put truck in park turned off, left off for period of time 5-10 minutes restarted issue didn't present!5-6 miles travel and happened again.
Vehicle intermittently sputters when accelerating from a stop and also when the vehicle is in motion.i replaced the ignition coil and spark plug in cylinder 3.unfortunately, the intermittent sputter continues to be an issue as well as the check engine light being activated. Accelerating in traffic and from a stop is dangerous and requires additional attention and driving techniques to prevent a potential rear end collision caused by a vehicle approaching my vehicle from the rear.
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 the truck has been in the shop many times with no success. I do not have final service history from plattsburgh ford yet, but will by end of the week and can upload or send then as needed. Www.carcomplaints.com
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted and then shifted back to a drivable gear after two seconds. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to preferred ford (1401 s beacon blvd, grand haven, mi 49417, (616) 842-0600) where the contact was informed that the vin was not included in any recalls. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000. The consumer stated the transmissionshifted into first gear and sticks while driving.
While driving on the highway, the rear axel broke at the weld. We were able to get off the highway safely and to a brake maters. We were told that this should not have happened and that it was a defect in the welding. We had ford tow it to bell ford in phoenix and contacted ford corporate to request an investigation. Ford ignored our claim and closed it out, without even doing an investigation. The service dept at bell ford provided horrible customer service and did nothing to assist us with our claim either. We had the vehicle towed elsewhere to be fixed, as we could not afford the $2,700.00 bell ford wanted to charge us.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle, it downshifted into first gear unexpectedly. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to york ford inc (1481 broadway, saugus, ma 01906 (781) 231-1945) where the recall was not remedied as the software update was not available. The contact had retrieved the vehicle from the dealer and was advised via the manufacturer to continue driving the vehicle until the remedy was available.the failure had worsened since the contact retrieved his vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.
Hello, my name is [xxx] and i just recently purchased a 2013 ford f-150 with 98,500 miles 3 weeks ago. I had just gotten home from work and i had to take my girlfriend to meet someone. As we were pulling out the driveway i noticed that on the gear indicator in the gauge cluster it showed i was in 5th gear, i tried to accelerate a little thinking it was a bug in the cluster but it was actually in 5th gear. I got to the end of the driveway and shut the truck off. I proceeded to start the truck back up and pull out of the driveway because everything had seemed like it went back to normal. About 5 minutes down the road as i was going 60 mph the truck locked up the rear tires and skidded into the opposite lane, luckily no one was approaching me.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated to 5 mph. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and operated as intended. The maintenance required light was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact contacted trotter ford lincoln (3801 bobo rd, pine bluff, ar 71603, (870) 535-4321) however, the mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Downshifts into 1st... Still...after the recall appointment.reset, but continues and we have only had the truck a short time. It has almost caused a few wrecks and one with a trailer pulling machinery.we bought this truck to have a newer truck to haul our horses as well, and cannot do that. This needs to be taken care of!we have all ford f 150's in our family and hate to have to change to something else if this cannot be resolved. A new transmission/???is it going to take a death to fix what is wrong??? truck is always in motion and at various times when this happens. No warning, can be fine for days then happens all of a sudden. Street, highway, doesn't matter.and now it's not wanting to come back down after shifting back up from 1st. Not sure what to do now. Can't sell in good conscious to someone, so it sits. Beautiful truck, just bad tranny. Oh, and also, the truck thinks the rear door is open and it's not, which keeps us from being able to lock it as well as the lights remain on for a bit after shutting off (using the battery). Not sure if this has a recall or not.
The truck will down shift at any given time. I have had this issue happen a couple of times in the city at lower speeds 40 mph or less. Truck will typically get back in sink and drive normal. The latest incident was the scariest. I was on the interstate traveling at 70 mph in 6 gear. And the truck down shifts into 1st gear!!!! locking the rear wheels up in traffic at this speed is dangerous and luckily no one was hurt or killed. Since this issue i avoid interstate or highway travelas the dealerships tell me there is nothing wrong with my truck nor can they fix it if they can't recreate the issue. I don't let family or friends ride in the truck if i have to drive it or let anyone else drive it . I have a truck that's a death trap and is just sitting in my driveway because the dealerships tell me there's nothing wrong with it. I keep track of when it happens at what speeds and dates also . Ford needs to get a handle on this as i hear it's a very common problem!
The contact owned a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving about 55 mph, the shifter shifted to the first gear independently without warning. The vehicle spun and flipped about three times and crashed at the median. The contact's spouse sustained some bruises while the contact sustained a concussion. Both were taken to the emergency room in an ambulance. The four window air bags deployed.a police report was filed. The vehicle was totaled and was towed to a tow yard at first and was later towed away by the insurance company. The contact called the tillamook motor company dealer (877)-785-4771, located at 501 main avenue, tillamook, or 97141) and was told that the regional corporate office would be contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure (by the contact' daughter) and was told to send the accident report. The contact was not called back. The failure mileage was approximately 129,000.
On 5/24/21 i started to pull out onto a two lane, 55mph road with a trailer behind me. The truck stalled and i was stuck across both lanes and could have been hit broadside from either direction. I was told by our local ford dealer that there is a technical service bulletin (tsb-15-0137) for the fuse holder for the fuel pump. I researched online and this is a very common problem. I had a similar issue occur in march of 2021 where my truck would not start in a driveway and the ford dealer did not find the problem and it seemed to have fixed itself. The fuse holder is apparently not designed for the amount of current in the circuit. This is a very serious issue. I could have been seriously injured or killed that day. This problem does not lead to any warning lamps, messages, other symptoms or error codes.
On 4 different occasions while in reverse truck immediately stopped as if i had backed into an object parking lot.two times while driving aprroximately 45 to 50 mph my vehicle immediately increased rpms, again it felt as if someone rear ended me. Most recent vehicle would not shift. Manual shift option worked. Restarted motor 4 timeshoping to resolve the issue. Vehicle never shifted out of 5th. As traveling, speedometer stopped working, airbag light came on, odometer display went to dashes, traction control stopped working, wrench light came on, display for gears was either 5th or 3rd depending on speed. At about 55 mph the vehicle performed a hard jerk, high rpms, almost bringing me to a complete stop in heavy traffic highway. Again as if someone rear ended me. Finally limped home. Now i'm afraid to drive the vehicle. My 5 year warranty expired 10-23-2018. Contacted ford dealer not in recall and warranty out so it's money out of my pocket. This is so disheartening to know it's a factory default yet ford will not honor the repairs.
Not getting sticker mpg; took vehicle back and ford milham dealership in easton pa off rt 33 said " there is nothing we can do about it" power steering rack also malfunctioned at 7,000 miles.dealership manager agreed there is an issue with the vehicle. I dropped the vehicle off on a wednesday. Thursday night they called and stated everything checked out and "ford says it's within range". I was also told i will receive a survey online - i never received the email to communicate my dissatisfaction with the vehicle and the dealership. Vehicle now has 10,000 miles and now i get 16 mpg on highway (no city driving).
Transmission would shift on its own erratically. While travelling in 6th gear at 70 mph it would downshift to 1st locking tires briefly and then back to speed after letting off the pedal. The instrument panel would go blank and the needles would stop working while still moving. It cant be duplicated and does it without warning. It had done it at various speeds once it was in 5th or 6th gear with or without the cruise control on. Several times and it would not even turn the "check engine" light on. Would have a wrench with ok button. Was getting on highway during one occasion and it lost power almost causing a merge collision due to i couldn't accelerate. I limped it off the side off road, shut it down, restarted and then was able to take off again. I just had it repaired and now seems to be working as i have tried many situations nervously awaiting it to fail if it is the fix. The lead frame in transmission was replaced. This was a recall issue for the 2011-2012 models and should be the same for 2013 or any model with this design. It causes very dangerous situations and could be fatal in certain traffic situations. I physically watched cars back off me while travelling 60 mph and my tires must have smoke without brake lights when it shifted down and chirped the tires unexpectedly. Not happy since i only have couple months on these new tires as well.the transmission always seemed to have a hard shift point between 4,5 and 6th gear.
While driving down the highway the truck shifted from 5th gear to 1st gear... The wheels seemed to have locked up as we did leave a skid mark on the highway.nearly sent us through the windshield... Thank goodness for seat belts. Wrench symbol appeared on the console. Pulled over... Turned off vechicle, turned back on and showed in 1st gear.. Started driving and would not shift out of first gear and wrench reappeared... Powered off again and back on wrench disappeared... Seemed to drive normal after a couple miles wrench appeared again and we had no gauges on the dashboard operational except rpm. Dealership performed recall 19s07 for this known issue... On test drive it was still not resolved so they said they needed to do 19n01 but that this was only allowed as a warranty repair up to 150000 miles. I had 151866 when brought to the dealership. So i now have an unsafe truck with a known recall issue that ford will not repair because i had 1866 miles more than their warranty. They want 800 for me to fix it myself which i must do and there is no guarantee that this will fix the issue. Ford should be obligated to fix issues tied to known safety problems with the vehicle.who knows next time it does it someone could rear end me and be seriously injured.
While driving experienced loss of speedometer, wrench light and airbag light illumination, and vehicle entering limp mode. Vehicle had p0720 and p0721 trouble codes. Also experienced an unexpected downshift to first gear while traveling at approximately 35 miles an hour nearly causing loss of control.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle downshifted from fifth to second gear. The driver coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, waited a few minutes, and was able to resume driving. The vehicle was taken to imperial ford (8 uxbridge rd, mendon, ma 01756, phone number: (888) 814-8373) and failure code p0731 (transmission) was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer stated that the dealer needed to contact them about the duplication of the diagnostic test. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
With 58,000 miles on 3.5 ecoboost -check engine light went on with error codes p0016 and p0299.ford dealer advised timing chain stretched and needed to be replaced at cost of $2500.less then 10 miles after picking truck up from repairs - check engine light on with p0299 code again.back into shop.
When truck slows down it slips in to like a neutral position and rpm's rev up.
Experiencing transmission shifting issues from start and while driving. Shifts into different gears randomly. Wrench light comes on, lose all dash info, speedometer drops to zero. After reading code p0720 with scanner appears to be leadframe issue as recall for 2011, 2012 f150. My truck is 2013 but there is no recall issued for my truck.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received an unknown recall notice regarding the power train. Kendall ford of wasilla (2701 e mountain village dr, wasilla, ak 99654) was contacted and stated that the parts for the repair would not be available until june of 2019. The manufacturer was also contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available. The contact stated that the vehicle downshifted into first gear independently. The failure mileage was 109,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The vehicle did not shift to the appropriate gear and acted erratically.the rpms might spike but the truck did not accelerate. Other times the rpms dropped to zero even when i depressed the gas pedal. After first replacing the spark plugs, the dealership replaced the lead frame for a total out of pocket cost of approximately $1,100. I was lucky that the problem manifested itself at lower speeds in town. This could easily have been a serious safety problem under other conditions such as towing a camper/trailer or at high speeds. I see there was a lead frame recall on the 2012 f150s. It seems appropriate that this recall would also be applicable to the 2013s.https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia-mobile/fna/us/en/news/2016/04/27/ford-motor-company-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-two-safety-co.html
Said vehicle does not get the mileage stated on window sticker and advertisements.2013 4x4 ecoboost states 15city/21hwy, it does only get about 13-15mpg in city, but on highway; average is roughly 17mpg, which compared to the sticker is a 4mpg difference.
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.
This is the 2nd time today , i've had this problem and is the 4th episode of the same problem. This is a flex fuel 2013 ford f-150.this is beginning to be a big concern,as stated i was only going about 10 mph,since i was in a shopping center getting ready to park. The engine usual cranks after i come to a complete start and turn the ignition off. I need this fixed asap. I've got a trip planned.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). Smith ford (908 e oak st, conway, ar 72032, 501-329-9881) was contacted and stated that the part was unavailable. The manufacturer was contacted to determine when the dealer would receive the part. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
While driving the truck at various speeds the transmission will drop down in gears and show a wrench and code p0720.the truck will slow down dramatically with no warning or or brake lights.the code shows output shaft speed sensor.the vehicle does this out of the blue at anytime.at speeds of 30mph and up.we have narrowly avoided several accidents.the truck is to unsafe to drive on highway.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission shifted into first gear independently and shifted out of gear with no acceleration. The vehicle was taken to supreme ford (400 e howze beach rd, slidell, la 70461) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame harness assembly needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.
From time to time the truck starts to shake violently and have to pull over and stop.it shakes all the time from the rear between 45 and 60 mph. Has been back to dealer 3 or 4 times with no results. The last visit i was told this normal,after some research there seems to be a lot of complaints about this.i have had this truck a yr and 1/2 put 10,000 miles on it because im afraid something is going to shake out of it.ford should be ashamed taking peoples money for trucks they cant use
Vehicles has several times after being at a stop, vehicle will not engage transmission. Vehicle will accelerate engine rpm's, but is like it is neutral and speedometer goes to 0. Vehicle will roll, but stops in middle of road, intersection or shoulder if enough speed before it stops. Brought vehicle in 2 times and kinsel ford dealership can't get it duplicate problem. Called ford motor and they told me they can't help me until a certified technician sees it. Was told i need to drive vehicle until it does this again and call roadside assistance and don't restart so codes won't clear. I feel this was unsafe because vehicle can stall in a intersection and cause a cause a wreck. Ford told me they couldn't help me until they could actually see this prove. I have to have a vehicle and drive it until it does it so i can get this fixed.
Engine stops with wrench code.sometimes will restart and run ok.broke down 500 miles from home and took to mechanic,problem was not found, however continued to run.stopped again 3 times at highway speeds in dangerous situations a few months later.the second time to a mechanic the problem was discovered to be undersize fuse port on fuse block and fuse relocate kit ford (el3z-14293-a) was installed.this seems to be known problem and owners should be advised as the vehicle loses complete power sometimes creating a dangerous situation.fuse amperage is adequate but terminals are too small, it is moved to a larger terminal area on fuse block, this seems to be a design flaw and should be addressed.
Transmission began acting a little funny - hesitating, slowing down a little and seemingly re-engaging, before coming to a stop. When accelerating from stopped, crossing a 2-lane state route, orange wrench icon flashed on the driver display and launched in 3rd gear. Went into limp mode and made it home, ranging from 3rd gear to 5th gear for that duration. Occurred two other times, both after about 15-20 minutes of the truck running. Research of similar problem and error codes that were read point to a bad molded lead frame, but i am outside of ford's "extended warranty" mileage, so i have not spent the money to have it diagnosed at a ford location. No symptoms prior to the problem. Truck is parked since reading about 6th-to-1st gear downshifts on the highway.
While accelerating from a stop, transmission shifts from 1st to 5th.this prevents the vehicle from accelerating properly.must pull over and restart vehicle to reset the transmission to 1st.very dangerous when pulling into traffic!!while driving at 70 mph on the interstate highway with the cruise control engaged the vehicle will shift to 5th.cruise control goes out, speedometer goes to 0, odometer goes blank. Check engine and airbag lights come on,truck goes into limp mode (doesn't want to accelerate).see picture of instrument panel, i was driving @ 65-70mph at the time.must pull over and restart vehicle to reset transmission.this has happened sporadically many times.at least my vehicle hasn't shifted from 6th to 1st like so many others i've read about...yet!!!!
Normal driving about 40 mph, then sudden down shift. Speedo to 0 while tach revs and all other gauges quit. I see a recall on 2012 raptors involving lead frame replacement and pcm reset. Mine has the same tranny as recalled. Happened yesterday once while i drove and 4 times today while wife drove. She was almost rear-ended.
I was driving on a highway going approximately 60 mph when it unexpectedly downshifted.my momentum violently jerked me forward, the tires squeeled, and the rpm gauge went up to over 6,000. Another issue is that it occasionally will not shift out of first gear.i will be starting from a stop and i'll be going about 10-15mph andif i don't let off the throttle the engine will just rev up past 4000 rpms.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle spontaneously downshifted into first gear and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact called sunset ford (11700 gravois rd, st. Louis, mo 63127, (314) 843-4431) and was informed that diagnostic testing was needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 208,000. The vin was not available.
Lead frame failed. Caused vehicle to downshift suddenly while speedometer read very low.multiple times. At highway speed in full auto or in manual gear shift override. The vehicle would downshift at 65mph to 2nd or 1st gear, locking up the rear axle.cost to repair at dealership was $810.61
Upon accelerating from a stop 4or 5 loud knocking sounds were heard and felt, and engine power loss was experienced. I let off throttle to reduce knocking sound,which sounded liketurbo wastegate possibly, and engine shook and had reduced power for several miles. Temperature outside was warm and dry. I had been driving vehicle for over an hour before problem. It has had reduced power and minor shaking before,but nothing like this. Fortunately no other vehicles were coming. I do notice wastegate popping off on short,steep hills more lately. I have the ecoboost engine. Have not been to dealer yet, but have appt soon.
The truck gets stuck in first gear and will not accelerate until the vehicle is shut off and turned on again.the vehicle was in motion on a city street and would not advance to second gear.
Getting off the highway the truck would no slow down. It would not shift to 2nd or 1st gear. Hard uncontrolled stop. When tried to start moving again truck lunged forward and started from 5th gear. Drove directly to the ford dealer as this was a safety concern. It switched gears randomly the entire way to the ford dealer from the highway. 2013 47k miles
I have already had the safety recall 19s07 ' 6r80performed on my 2013 f150 svt raptor for the sudden deceleration issues. This week i was traveling at highway speed and the truck suddenly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing my trucks rear-end to start coming around. Luckily i was able to maintain control of the truck. I took it to the dealership and that saw the downshift codes and attempted to reapply the recall. Now they tell me though the actions and near accident are inline with the recall, the code p0961 and therefore it is not covered by the recall. This is an immediate safety issue and the safety recall 19s07 ' 6r80 recall should be extended to cover this code.
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.
I was driving at 60 mph and the truck suddenly downshift twice. The second downshift revved the engine very high causing a quick jerk at the fairly high speed. This occurred at approximately 6000 ft on a two lane straight mountain road. Had this occurred a few days earlier when driving on snow and ice, i would have surely lost control and collided head on with the large boulders or huge pine trees. Thiscould have been deadly.
Vehicle lost power when trying to pass another vehicle. Note i was in a 75 mph area trying to pass a vehicle that had trash flying off truck.in any case when i punched the accelerator the vehicle did a nose dive as it lost power. It took about 2 seconds for the vehicle to restore to normal operation.
This is an update to my complaint filed preciously. After the second episode of loss of power and the check engine light coming on. I took my ecoboost powered truck to a ford dealer and they performedtsb 14-0017.this was supposed to fix the engine loosing power. This is why the nhtsa closed the investigation of the f150 ecoboost. This has not worked. Yesterday 11-7-2015 i was on a 2 hour highway trip in rainy conditions. While driving the motor again lost power and could not even maintain highway speeds. This was dangerous to my family and everyone around us. The tsb from ford has not fixed the dangers of these trucks. Please re-open the investigation into this dangerous vehicle before someone is killed or injured. American roads deserve safe cars.
I have stopped driving my 2013 ford f150 and can't believe they have not been pulled of the road.they are unsafe to everyone around them.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?
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph without warning, the vehicle downshifted from 5th gear down to 1st gear. The vehicle was taken to tom's ford located at 200 nj-35, keyport, nj 07735, (732) 264-1600, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the ecm/tcm/pcm needed to be reset. The reset was performed and the vehicle functioned properly. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000.
My truck downshifts without cause, sometimes to 1st gear, and on one occasion my wheels skidded (which was witnessed by my neighbor who was walking his dog and was startled by the skid). The speedometer goes to zero even while moving - i have video from my cell phone of this happening while going approximately 75 mph on the freeway. When this happens all other gauges go to dashes, including the mileage, mpg, etc.the transmission will slip into 2nd and 5th gears and will not go to any other gears.it sometimes remains in 3rd gear even at a dead stop.turning the truck completely off sometimes "resets" things, but only temporarily.i have contacted a dealer about this and they looked up my vin and told me there are no recalls for my truck year - even though the same types of things were occurring with 2011-12 f150's, and those are the subject of a recall. This is a safety issue: it happens without warning, sometimes on the freeway traveling at high speeds, sometimes while sitting at a stop light and it shifts to 3rd gear and hardly will get going.i called ford customer service and explained everything and they said they would report to nhtsa but since it is out of warranty and there is no recall, i would most likely be responsible for the cost of repair. I pointed out a letter sent by nhtsa to ford on january 18, 2018 addressing issues with my truck model and year, but that did not change anything in the representative's mind.i believe there needs to be consumer protection on this, both from a safety and financial aspect, by nhtsa.i have video of what happened on the freeway with the truck downshifting to 5th gear and remaining there, and when traffic slowed the truck downshifted to 2nd gear and would not shift to any other gear.i had to pull off the freeway with hazard lights flashing and turn off the truck and restart it to try to "reset" things.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle downshifted abruptly without warning. The failure recurred while driving 65 mph. Prior to the failures, the contact took the vehicle to apple ford (8800 stanford blvd, columbia, md 21045, (410) 290-1100) and was informed that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train). The contact called the same dealer about the failures and was given an appointment for an inspection. The contact attempted to contact the manufacturer, but was unsuccessful. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
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
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle would shift into third gear without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 24,793.
Traveling highway at approx. 60 mph when truck downshifted to lower gear causing rear wheels to jump until truck could be stopped.pulled to side of road and shut vehicle off.after brief period, started truck and was able to drive awhile normally.truck did the same thing again and i pulled to side of road and shut vehicle off again.let stand for awhile, then started vehicle and was able to get home.took the vehicle immediately to ford dealership and they replaced the "throttle body assembly as possible cause".my truck had just recently gone out of warranty period per dealership, and i had to pay for the repair.i have not had the problem since this fix (approximately 3 years ago) however i am taking it in for recall to update software specifically for failure of oss.my truck is a 2013 f150 4x4 crew cab with echo boost 3.5l engine.
During acceleration to pass a car, my truck exhibited a power loss. The check engine light starts flashing and the engine looses power and the truck decelerates. This has now happened 6 times in various conditions.in 3 instances the engine almost stalled. It continued to stutter until i put the truck in park, shut the engine off and restarted. Twice, this has happened in chicago traffic while merging onto the highway and resulted in a very dangerous situation. I have taken my truck to the dealer 4 times but they say no computer codes were recorded. I have contacted ford but the regional customer service manager says she has never heard of anyone with this problem before. They refuse to do anything about it and told me to continue to take my truck to the dealer when these issues occur. My truck is now 9 months old with 13,000 miles on it. The most recent occurrence was in march of this year.
Traveling at various speeds on highway.the orange wrench waring lights came on, speedometer went to zero, mileage indicator went out , gas dte indicator quit working, speed reduced. Switched vehicle off after stopping, switched back on everything reset - vehicle ran fine until the next time, same thing reoccurred. This has happened several times.took it to dewitts automotive repair, windsor, va.dianostic report indicates wiring harness and module sensor for powertrain needs replacing. Must be replaced by ford repair shop.
Ford recall number 19s07. 3.5 l engine. Vehicle in motion. City street and highway speeds. Problem. Unintended downshift into first gear causing abrupt wheel speed reduction. No available remedy from ford motor company.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the service engine light illuminated on the instrument panel with the speedometer failing to operate as designed. The contact also stated that the vehicle independently downshifted and had to be restarted to resume normal operation. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer nor an independent mechanic to be inspected. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
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.
During acceleration to highway speed during rainy weather my truck exhibited a power loss. The check engine light started to flash and the engine looses power and the vehicle decelerated. This has occurred 2 times since i have owned this vehicle (since december 2013). I have the truck in the shop now for another issue and have informed the dealer of the incidents but have not heard back from them.
Transmission reaches an uncertain speed then wrench appears and all power is lost, forcing me to coast to the side of the road. Having to turn off engine and restarting. Waiting until it is safe to resume travel. This is a safety hazard not an extended warranty issue. I choose not drive on the highways because i can not reach the speed limit posted. This is the only way i can be sure i don't put myself and other drivers in harms way.
Was traveling at 60 mph and transmission down shifted to 3rd gear and rear wheels locked up.
Continuing to experience problems with downshifting. Took to ford dealership, the acted like they had no idea what was going on or hadn't even heard of the recall of the 2011 or 2012 models and the open investigation into the 2013. Now for a third time, driving on sat. Oct. 20, the vehicle shifted into 5th speedometer fell to zero hand had to shut off and restart car to get it going again. Driving in a rural area with speed limits of 45-55 mph. I was traveling around 50mph at the time. We are very frustrated as this has happened with kids in the car 2 times now and we don't want them killed due to ford's inability to take responsibility and recall the 2013 models. We have submitted documentation via cell phone picture that is time stamped with my husbands watch in the picture to verify when it is happening.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the wheels seized and the vehicle hesitated. As the vehicle slid, the transmission gear downshifted and the contact lost control of the vehicle. The contacted swerved off the road and was able to brake. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, the contact was able to drive home safely. The contact also stated that the check engine indicator remained illuminated for an entire weekend. The vehicle was taken to perry ford national city (2050 national city blvd, national city, ca 91950, (619) 477-2711) where it was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Transmission downshifting or not shifting causing vehicle to fly off road or out a lane into traffic.
The transmission will get stuck in 3rd and 5th. Sometimes, it will go to first at highway speeds. Taken to dealer twice for there software patch. Both times it didn't work. I am fearful of driving my truck. I don't want to cause an accident. I took it in today. Ford sent an email last week to service dept. That update does not work on some 2013 trucks... No kidding! waiting for an update to come through ford!!!ford should provide.loaners b/c this car is unsafe.
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
While driving at 45 miles an hour on 4th gear my truckunexpectedly shifted into first gear, causing me to lose full control of my vehicle
Truckwhile driving abruptly down shifts and the speedometer goes down to zero .also sometimes while driving and then stop when you start moving again it does shift pass first gear..
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission erroneously downshifted causing the vehicle to abruptly reduce speed.the vehicle was taken to the local dealer mike reichenbach ford located 600 n coit st, florence, sc 29501 who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train). The failure mileage was 60,000.
Tranmission will start shifting between 2nd and 5th gear while drive at any speed causing the tires to lock up and chirp.other times the transmission will not shift out of 1st gear.other times while driving 60mph+ the speedo needle will go to 0mph and transmission is unresponsive. In all cases the vehicle must be pulled over, tuned off and restarted to correct he issue. It is a safety concern when there is no safe area to pull off of the road. This has been an on going issue for a few months. Suspected lead frame failure.
Put truck into park to help truck ahead of us unload bed. Our truck was in park with engine on, within 3 min truck began accelerating and crushed body in between two trucks. Had to press breaks (car still rolling) shift into reverse, back into park before car would stop rolling then went into reverse.
This is the 5th incident with the same problem, but worst now. I had this truck at the ford dealership on monday june 17,2013. They saidit will be hard to diagnosis without a fault code. How is it they can tell me how fast i have been driving for the past month, but the inboard computer cannot tell ford technicians what is wrong.the engine cut off again for the 5th time, but this time it would not start. The instrument showed 2 icon's this time, a ( wrench and check oil ), i'm sorry but the wrench indicates i believe something to do with a rear end on a 4 x 4 truck, sorry this is only a 2 wheel drive vehicle. I tried the ( 2 )recommendation in the instruction book and when turned the ignition to start it only tried for less than 3 seconds, then the power to the ignition went blank. I tried for 30 minutes, then called ford road side assistant for a tow truck, which was dispatched within a hour. I had already called ford friday june 21,2013 for an appointment for # 3 & 4with the engine cutting off. I then called saturday morning and asking then for a better appointment, they gave me one for monday 6-23,2013 instead of tuesday 6-24-2013.i badly need transportation this next week, i'm going to ask ford for ambulance service this next coming friday june 28,2013, i am a disabled senior veteran and having hip injections next friday out of town at the veterans hospital and need a care giver,since i won't be able to drive after the procedure.ford this is beginning to be avery serious condition when driving and probably cause accidents very soon. Lets get the problem fixed or order me a new truck because of north carolina lemon law.
1. Engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed.. 2. Powertrain, transmission - receiveda recall 19v-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. Took the f150 to gateway ford dealership for the update. The next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter eradicable the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, i shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. This has happened again, not sure of dates. As i was traveling out of south dakota i contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another ford dealership and they would fix it. Took it to auto nation ford in corpus christi, tx. They wouldn't fix it . They said the update wad already done. The pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. In addition the drivers seat is wearing out. It should rear better than that. The pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. One more issue. The positive battery post continually corrodes. I've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. Please have someone address these issues on my f150.i think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". I was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. The engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. It was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. The check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. The truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2011-2013 f-150 vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission (recall #19s07). The transmission may unexpectedly downshift into first gear, regardless of vehicle speed. I received a recall notice (letter) from ford informing me of this issue. Problem is my truck has been downshifting from 6th gear to first without warning for the past month (feb.-march 2019). I notified ford motor co. And was informed your vehicle has a defective part and this recall doesn't cover this. According to ford, the recall is only a software download to override this issue. The recall letter stated my truck was safe to drive (really!!) i scheduled a appointment with a localtransmission service center to inspect and repair. I don't trust the local ford dealerships. Thanks ford motor co, for all your help.. This recall is a bunch of bs!!
While driving and in 6th gear on a 2 lane rd, the truck shifted down into 1st and caused me to slide off the road. Wheel almost locked up. I turned the truck off and restarted about 10 minutes later. Placed the shifter in manual and used manual to get home. They next day truck ran but engine runs rough and trans acts up now and then.no damage but now the truck doesn't run right. I cleared the codes but not much better.
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!
Issues with the transmission that was diagnosed to be with the lead frame, similar to those described with the 2011-2012 recall.i had random issues where it would slip from 2nd to 5th starting from a stop. Then i had it suddenly downshift from 4th to 1st when going about 50mph, enough to chirp the tires.
Vehicle shifts gears erratically. Going from 6th gear to 1st at 70 mph
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.
'erractic shifting' three times i was driving at 50 to 60 miles per hour and suddenly the erratic shifting (truck down shift with any warning) and the rear tires locked up immediately. (when this happens the speedometer and the rpm is erractic too) it is too dangerous if another car would have come near me would have crashed.these times i had time to put the emergency lights. Turn off the truck and turn it on again, (somethimes you have to do it several times to make the truck work again) and another problem is somethimes the gear not engage, the engine revs but it runs almost nothing) don't feel safe driving this truck.
Ford is not coming out with new software for this recall. It was supposed to be completed in 2019
This 2013 f150 ford truck will downshift at 50 mph from 6th gear to first gera and the truch rear wheels lock up causing the truck to go from 50mph to 20mph and i felt a violent shake. I took the truck to ocala ford and they reprogrammed the computer, however this did not help. I shut key off restart and problem temporaraly goes away. This will cause a catastrophic accedent. This has occured several times. Please advise ford motor company to recall and repair. This occured on highway 41 in dunnellon florida. If this is not corrected, this will cause death or serious injury. Thanks.

Moving gradually picking up speed after stopping at red light truck got to 4th gear and then proceeded to down shift all the way to 1st making it seem like some one hit me from behind. This caused my truck to go from about 35mph to 10mph very quickly and i was lucky not to be hit by the car behind me and causing an accident.
While driving down the street it decelerates and shift out of gear but if i turn it off turn the key over, move the shift column from drive to first ,back to drive and if it starts properly it runs for approximately 3 to 4 milesand then it kicks back out to gear acts like there's no gas until i restart the vehicle at one point it shifted into first locked up my rear end of my vehicle as i was going down the highway almost causing me to wreck fortunately no one was behind me.
Driving on the road at 60mpg the truck downshifted i to 1st gear from 6th.then the speedometer displayed zero. And wrench light came on. I took to dealer they performed fords update and i drove no more than 20 miles and it did the same just went to first from 6th.both times i was lucky there were no cars behind me and road conditions were dry otherwiseit could of been a very bad accident.
Truck was recalled for downshifting while driving. Truck was taken to classic ford in shelby, nc where the recall problem was taken care of. Lately i have been having problems with truck where truck will not shift out of 1st gear. Have to stop, turn off ignition and truck works fine. Today while driving ,speedometer starts going crazy and truck downshifts to 1st gear, luckily i was only going 35 mph. I would hate to think what would happen if i was on interstate going 65 mph. Called classic ford to schedule service, cannot see me until next week. When i described what was going on, they said they haven't heard of this problem. Have been researching on internet and i am not the only one having this problem.
While driving vehicle suddenly shifted into 1st gear and flashed a wrench symbol and check engine light for code p0720. The vehicle lurched coming from a hugh rate of speed to shifting to first gear which almost caused a wreck. The vehicle would not shift out of first gear.
Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear when at speeds of 40 mph. Then sudden upshift to fourth than in limb mode. Found also that the transmission quick connect was leaking and lost all transmission fluid and no warning lights to let me know that all the fluid was missing. Ford told me that i required a new transmission but it took them a week to notice that transmission fluid was missing. They told me that they tighten up the quick connect and the leak may stop. Well, a day later still have the problem of upshifting and downshift at 3rd to fourth. All the fluid was missing again no warning lights. I replace lines and fuild and the upshift and down shift is gone but now have grinding of the thrid and fourth gear.
The truck unexpectedly down shifts into first gear without warning.
Vehicle shifted into 1st gear while i was going 60mph. Recall was issued customer satisfaction program 19n01 and dealership said there is a hold on fixing the 2013. I asked if i paid for repair out of pocket if they would fix it and was told that no that can't until hold is lifted sometime in 2nd quarter. I have three kids that are with me a lot and i'm concerned about this happening on the highway with a semi behind me. Was i given the correct info on a hold for this repair?

Tranmissiom shif to first speed
Driving vehicle several times at 45 to 70 mph transmission shifts into 1st gear locking up rear tires. Nearly rear ended on highway. This has happened 4 times in last 3 weeks no trouble code came up in vehicle. I am concerned for the safety of my family and i in this vehicle. This has happened both on the highway and city streets.
An unexpected downshift from 5th gear to 1st gear causing the vehicle to slow down suddenly and without warning when driving at speeds between 45 and 65 mph on the highway. The rear tires lock up momentarily, causing skidding. The transmission shifts erratically and randomly through gears 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1st. The truck will go days without another incident, but then multiple times in one day. Reprogramming of the computer module at the ford dealership did not resolve the problem.

Driving on interstate at roughly 70 mph with cruise control engaged, truck lost power and started to coast.speedometer swept to 0 indicated speed, tachometer indicated engine at idle speed, around 1000 rpm, while coasting from 70 mph slowing to roughly 40 mph.vehicle regained powered drive briefly then again lost power and coasted.after resuming coasting, the back tires then breifly locked up, vehicle shuddered, then resumed coasting.extremely dangerous as vehicle being driven in traffic on interstate and became nearly uncontrollable.explanation from dealer service department was that the wiring harness from transmission to ecu passes through firewall through a grommet that is known to fail.the wiring chafes and causes a short and the transmission to malfunction.apparently a tsb is issued for repair at customer's expense per dealer but i have not been able to find it.this appears to be a proverbial ticking timebomb for f150 owners and should absolutely be subject to a recall.
Vehicle shifted into 1st gear when in 6th. Ran off the road almost causing an accident. Called corporate and they said there was nothing they could do. Took it to the ford dealership for diagnostics. Bad molded lead frame. Ordered parts,dealership opened up pan and found metal shavings. Did not install parts because they said tranny was no good. Ford does not want to fix damaged tranny although vehicle now has recall for this exact issue. Contacted both corporate and dealership and pretty much told me there was nothing they can do, although they told me they would fix issue. I been lied too, made believed that issue was going to be fixed. Its been over a month of back and forth chirping with both corporate and dealership and im tired of this sick game of making customers believe they will fix the issue and turn right back around and say no. Im stuck and in disbelieve. Im making a huge deal because i had my 6month old boy in the backseat when this happend and ford could have cared less.

I purchased my 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost in december 2012. The first incident occurred in approximately march 2013. It was raining. I was accelerating from a stop light where i had made a complete stop. I could not gain speed very well. The engine light was flashing. The engine was sputtering/popping and the whole truck was shaking violently. The same has occurred ever since on more than a dozen occasions and at various speeds. However, each time was while it was raining. Never has had a problem in fair weather. I experience a total loss of power, many times when on the interstate or while trying to overcome a vehicle. The front-end lurches, i lose speed dramatically, the engine shakes violently when i accelerate. The engine sputters and sounds like it doesn't know whether to choke out or blow up. The engine light flashes for approximately 1 minute each time. Almost sounds like a misfire. Happens several times during one trip often, but always when it rains. Continuous occurrences and beginning to become more frequent. Have taken my truck to 2 dealerships, neither of which can detect any dtcs or any other problem. Offer no advice other than to keep driving it until the engine light stays on permanently. They have no idea what causes the problem. I am really afraid that the problem may result in a motor vehicle accident. Have not had one yet, but have a had a couple of incidents where i had to pull over to avoid an accident. Problem is so persistent that i am considering trading vehicles, especially since i have been offered no remedy for the problem. I have also filed a complaint with ford motor co. On 07/30/2013.

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
My vehicle suddenly down shifts into 3rd then 1st gear while traveling.i was traveling at 60 mph when the vehicle suddenly shifted into 3rd then 1st gear.this cased the tires to skid on the roadway, nearly causing me to lose control of the vehicle.i see there was a previous investigation into this very problem, but 2013 year models are not included.
The frightening issue i experienced on january 7, 2019 is identical to the reports i have since read regarding this vehicle and the frequent issues that led to the recall for 2010-2012 ford f-150's for unexpected transmission downshifts [nhtsa recall no. / mfr recall no. : 16v-248 / 16s19].while driving 65-70 mph on the interstate, speedometer suddenly and rapidly fluctuated between 40 and 70, then transmission abruptly dropped from 6th/5th gear to 1st gear.as a result, my wheels locked and caused the vehicle to skid into the lane to my right, forcing other cars to swerve out of my way to avoid a high speed collision.it happened so fast, and without warning, that it was difficult to understand what was actually occurring.once stopped (in the middle of the interstate), i drove to the median, turned the engine off, sat for a few minutes to gather my thoughts, restarted the vehicle and drove it slowly to my ford dealership (not on the highway).after inspecting my truck, the ford dealership verified the issue and stated the following (written report attached):ran koec got code p0720 oss sensor circuit fault, ran pinpoint tests, found open in oss sensor which is part of the molded lead frame attached to the valve body, removed the valve body, dissasembled, cleaned and inspected the value body, all valves and bores are ok, reassembled valve body with new molded lead frame assembly and new revised separator plate gasket, installed new clutch feed tube seals and seal between valve body and fluid pump, installed new fluid filter and pan gasket, filled transmission with new fluid reprogrammed pcm and cleared dtcs, verified repairs.despite parallels to the previous recall issue, ford informed me it is not covered (there is nothing i could have done to prevent it) and the total cost to me was $1,418.83.please expand the recall - it will save lives.
Speed sensor. When driving you could be stopped or moving at a high rate of speed for example i was going 50mph when the truck shifted into first causing the truck to come almost to a complete stop almost causing an accident. At other times wheb you start the truck it will shift from 1st gear to 5th gear and the wrench indicator will appear on dash while everything else turns to dashes (mileage etc). The speedometer will then show zero even while still moving.
Initial start off starts in 5th gear 50% of the time. The only way to get it back to 1st is to shut the truck off, this usually takes several ignition cycles to correct the issue.erratic shifting throughout driving the vehicle 100% of the time.the vehicle shifts between 6th and 4th for no reason during a normal drive on the interstate 75% of operation.hard down shifting at speeds above 50mph. Often while going down the interstate at over 50mph the truck will shift into 1st or 2nd locking up the tires. The only way to get it out of the lower gear is to shut the car off and turn it on. I have slid sideways on the highway and almost been hit in the back several times. The dealership i purchased the truck from will not even touch the vehicle for less than $115 for a diagnostics fee. They said if it is the tsb13-04-09 as they suspect it will be $1,029.00 to repair in addition to the diagnostics fee. A local transmission facility has quoted $615.00 to repair.i have almost wrecked several times and have had to stop the traffic on the interstate at least once a week, most of the time twice a week. This too is dangerous for not only me but the entire interstate as the traffic halts due to the ford transmission.i have video of the transmission shifting down and up shifting.
Automatic transmission problem.twice while traveling on the highway in 6th gear at greater than 65 mph the vehicle shifted from 6th to 4th gear for no apparent reason which caused the tires to squeal and the entire vehicle jerk and slow significantly.no warning or error or warning lights were illuminated. Five other times while traveling at about 15 mph the automatic transmission controls attempted to shift from 2nd gear to 5th gear which significantly bogged the vehicle down and almost stalled. Ford error code p0722, obd-ii trouble code associated with the transmission output speed sensor came in.the vehicle was serviced and it was determined the molded lead frame connector was defective and needed replaced.
Truck will shift from 1 to 3 when starting. It will also shift from 1 to 5 when starting, creating a dangerous condition when pulling into traffic as it will barely get moving. The truck will also sometimes will not shift out of 1 from a start. Shutting off the engine and allowing the computer to reset usually fixes the problem temporarily.
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.
Going in motion on the turnpike at 70mph my truck down shifted to 2nd gear. After that the wrench and the airbag light came on the dashboard. The mileage erased and the speedometer stopped working. At a stationary red light my truck would show i was on 3rd gear. Fortunate for me i was by myself when this problem occurred but i could've been with my family and now i'm scared to drive my truck and even more scared to bring he family with me on my truck. That is the newest car in my house and would think it would be the most dependable but unfortunately it's not and i can't even afford to buy another car because i was affected by this pandemic. If i can sell the car back to the bank it would be great because i don't even feels safe bringing this car as the family truck.
While traveling in 4th gear, the vehicle suddenly went into 1st gear. It would not go out of 1st gear until i shut it off and restarted.happened again before i got it home.dealer replaced the lead frame harness, cost $1025.00.this could have resulted in a serious accident.vehicle had 60844 miles on odometer.
From ford's customer satisfaction web, shows no recalls, but shows 19n01 ā€“ transmission molded leadframe extended coverage ā€“ 2011-2013 ford f-150.symptoms are speedometer will go to 0.many reported cases the transmission will downshift from 6th gear into 3rd.my case was intermittent... I'd get speedometer 0mph loss of power general solution was to stop vehicle, stop engine restart.depending on highway conditions this was at times only uncomfortable.my last event was awkward, it occurred multiple times within a less than 10 mile drive.multiple stops/restarts the engine accelerated to 40-50mph while i did not have my foot on the accelerator. I decided to take to local transmission shop, where they were told by multiple suppliers he could not purchase the part because there was a service recall.i used the ford customer satisfaction web site, researched this, to find my truck exceeded the mileage for ford to service this.so i was in a catch 22, ford would not fix under recall, and would not sell the part to a service facility.i called the satisfaction line, explained the problem they transferred me to ford corp, and told me to explain to executive for service.i listened to the voice mail identifying to leave a message and they would get back to me in 48 business hours.i called two times 7/2 - expecting a call back by 7/6, the again 7/7.i have received no call back. Initially my goal was simply to have them clear the way to purchase the molded leadframe or to sell this to the transmission shop so i could have my truck repaired. During this time i investigated other's that had this problem, with some very disturbing results.truck violently decelerating by downshifting from 6th at highwayspeeds to 3rd. On occasion i haul my tractor, i was considering what happened if towing a trailer and a sudden downshift?what if the roads were wet? clearly this is a safety issue, where ford believes at over 150k miles they are much safer to drive.
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.
On highway, speed(60 mph), gauges on dash began swinging wildly, transmission began shifting up and down rapidly and then down shifted to 1st gear at 60 mph. The rear tires started screaming and threw me sideways into the next lane and onto shoulder of road. I had been on highway for approx. 20 minutes before fault happened. I restarted and vehicle seemed to operate. I attempted to travel to ford dealer when after another 20 minutes fault resumed throwing truck off highway and luckily onto exit road. I again restarted truck and proceeded at 20 mph to nearby dealer. My ford dealer found intermittent loss of oss signal from the lead frame. Exact problem and repair as in recall #16n02 but my truck was just out of recall range. I believe this safety recall should be extended to include 2013 trucks with the same unsafe condition. I had some drive train warranty left so repair cost me only $100.00 but recall would have extended my transmission warranty to 150,000 miles.
The vehicle down shifts from 4th or 5th gearto 1st gear, while in motion traveling on highway causing engine to rev very high, wheels skid, and unexpected lose of speed.check engine and mechanical light come on. The shift caused a dangerous situation in heavy traffic.
With cruise control set on and going 70 mph, on a straight level highway, transmission downshifted to 1st gear.rear tires slid, engine rpm's were increased from the engine braking effect of the sudden downshift and tires dragging.pulled off the road and turned off the engine for a short time.started the engine and went home slowly without another issue.did a search for what happened and found the recall for 2011 and 2012 f150.this is a seriously unsafe and unpredictable condition that if it occurs on a curve or rain slicked road could cause a serious accident through loss of control.i have contacted ford and been told the recall does not cover may year model.i think my 95,000 miles on my 2013 model f150 puts my vehicle in the mileage range obtained by earlier year models so i may be the start of the same issues with the 2013 year models. There is a component issue with the transmissions that they failing in such a dangerous and unpredictable manner.the nhtsa campaign number is 16v248000 for 2011 and 2012 f150s.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle downshifted independently to first gear at 25 mph and jerk violently. The contact depressed the brake pedal to control the vehicle. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the failure recurred four times on the highway. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called autoserv ford of tilton dealer, located at 40 e main st lot b, tilton, nh 03276, (603) 729-1166, to schedule an appointment and was informed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000. Part distribution disconnects.
For awhile now i've been hearing a loud rattling noise when i start my truck in the morning.. Never payed it much mind until recently, i started to investigate it online and found out that it appears to be a common problem with theses trucks. It's the timming chain stretch.. Took it to mymechanic he also verified that's what it is he said he seen this a lot with the other fords. Then i took it to the ford dealer and they said they are not going to fix it because it's out of warranty, the truck has 65000 miles, this problem has been going on for awhile now, and from what i'm reading online it appears to be a common issue.. Was wondering why ford will not honor this issue and repair the problem?
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled more than twice and the wrench icon warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle stalled again before it was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was able to restart and the dealer diagnosed that the throttle body assembly needed to be replaced. The actuator control system was not closed and was faulty internally. The manufacturer issued service campaign number: 13n03 to address the repair that was specific to certain models. The manufacturer provided no solution. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Transmission lost power at 75 miles per hour on the highway. The wrench sign came on dash and then all displays showed -----. Additionally, the speedometer stopped working and the air bag light illuminated. When transmission reengaged, it was in 3rd gear, causing wheels to lose traction. I was able to navigate heavy traffic to get to the shoulder, where truck shifted to 5th gear once stopped. I was able to make it off the highway, however, the truck would shift randomly between 3rd, 4th and 5th gear but would not shift in to 1st, 2nd or 6th. Grapevine ford dealership pulled code p0722 from 6r80 transmission and determined transmission lead frame was faulty. Ford does not accept responsibility and will not pay for this known problem. The 6r80 lead frame has been recalled on 2011 and 2012 f150's but has not yet been recalled on 2013 f150's.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle downshifted into third or second gear and then into neutral. The contact stated that the gear went back into drive independently. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. Once restarted, the vehicle was able to drive normally. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v0750000 (power train). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called speedway ford (located at 1710 n expy, griffin, ga 30223, (888) 324-4186) and was informed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 167,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
I have file with you about this before and it has been a recall for this problem but the ford company has not taken care of this problem nor have they taken care of a second recall for another problem with this truck both of these problems together have almost cause 3 very near accidents for me the most recent i was pulling a trailer and entering and on ramp to interstate i-94 on entering as normal i tried to exhilarate to highway speed when all of a sudden all power to the drive train stopped and the truck went into a natural mode (like pushing the clutch in on a standard shift transmission) at that point i was in the drive lane right side but 2 semis one passing the other were barrowing down on me i had to cut sharply to the right and off the shoulder of the highway to keep from being hit buy one of the semi's the ford company stated they would have the parts and the soft wear to fix this problem by the 2nd quarter of 2019 it is now the second half and the problem continues to get worse it now clucks when shifting up from 3 to 4 and sometimes down shifting and when taken your foot off the gas pedal for a few seconds then then push on the gas pedal again the trans will clunk again when i test drove this truck before i bought it i told them there was something wrong with the drivetrain and they told me there was nothing wrong with it that i needed to learn how to drive a six speed transmission the thing about that and they don't know me before i retired i was the floor and operations manager for the community garage of battle creek mich. I have had this truck in to them 2 different times and 2 different dealerships plus i.ve taken it in 3 other times but after making and appointment and telling them i would need a loner which the warranty covers then when i get there no loner plus i would have to pay a $100 fee on the warranty for the thing they never fixed (19v-075)
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. The contact stated that the battery cable was removed and then re-installed, and the vehicle functioned normally. After driving 5 miles at 35 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate and lost power. The vehicle was taken to landers ford south (95 goodman rd e, southaven, ms 38671, (662) 349-4300) where it was diagnosed that the speed shaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
Vehicle erratically shifts from 6 gear to 1st gear,causing tires to lock up. Same issue is recalled in 2011-2012 f150, but not covered in 2013. Very dangerous issue.
When starting the truck and putting into drive, the transmission will shift into 5th gear and remain there.i have to pull over, stop the vehicle, place the transmission into park and restart the engine to clear this error.also, while driving on the highway yesterday, my truck suddenly shifted into third gear.i then recovered shortly into fifth gear before going into 6th gear.the shifting is now intermittently wonky.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 70 mph, the vehicle downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear. An unstated warning light was illuminated. The driver pulled over, restarted the vehicle, and continued to drive to her destination. The contact called bird kultgen ford located at 1701 w loop 340, waco, tx 76712, (254) 666-2473, to notify the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) however, the vin was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 92,500.
When driving the truck randomly goes into 1st gear. The problem is escalating. Before it did it once or twice and when you would have it looked at you couldn't duplicate it.
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. This has happened at least three times, always at a similar speed and when coasting (no throttle, no brake applied). Recent software recall has been done and the problem persists.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the transmission erroneously shifted into first gear and caused the rear wheels to lock. The driver stopped the vehicle and shut off the engine. After restarting the engine, the vehicle operated as normal. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was invalid. The failure mileage was 86,000.
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.
Transmission shifting issues
Truck suddenly downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear while driving 65mph.speedometer goes to zero then bounces erratically.
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.
My auto transmission down shifts into first gear while driving. It locks up the wheels and is potentially very dangerous. Ford had a recall for 2011 and 2012 f-150's with this exact problem (recall #16s19), but they said it does not apply to my truck.that is wrong and it should apply to my truck because the recall identifies the exact problem. It is the "powertrain control module/transmission software update". It happens randomly and at speeds between 25 and 45 mph.
Erratic shifting when driving. Would downshift from 5th to 1st randomly at high speeds. When put into drive in parking lot would start transmission in 5th and not move. Suspect it is the lead molding frame in the transmission that is causing the issue. Ford issued a recall for all lead mold frames for the 2011 and 2012 f150s but it is clear it is still plaguing the 2013 and 2014s.
Vehicle was stopped in the left turn lane. When the green arrow appeared, pressure was applied to the accelerator. The vehicle began to move at a rate that was not normal for what the tachometer was reading. The vehicle then jolted suddenly as if the 1st gear had engaged. This was shortly followed by the vehicle losing road speed. It seemed that 5th gear had been engaged. The seatbelt caution and wrench symbol came on. The speedometer dropped to 0. I was able to move the vehicle out of traffic lanes, but it was slow because the transmission was not in first gear. Putting the vehicle into neutral and back to drive did not fix the problem. Once stopped, i shutdown the vehicle and waited 30 seconds before restarting the vehicle. This seemed to fix the issue.the check engine light will not go on for this failure. I have contacted ford dealerships who are unable to diagnose the issue unless there is an associated check engine light and code that can be retrieved from the onboard computer.this is a safety issue because a powertrain failure while in traffic can lead to a vehicle being unable to clear an intersection if there's oncoming cross traffic.i request that nhtsa investigate f150 model year 2013 for this issue with the erratic shifting in the automatic transmission at low speeds.
My brand new ford f150 svt raptor was in park at my residence and while i was standing outside my truck it started coming backwards like someone put it into reverse. My mother was in the yard and she is a witness to what happened. I had both of the doors open and while it was like someone had put it into reverse which no one was in my vehicle i jumped into the truck and tried to apply the brake it was too late. The truck while coming in reverse which the transmission was in park the drivers side door caught the pole on our carport and about ripped the door off. I called everyone under the sun with the ford company and they thought i was telling them a fib. I don't know what can be done about this but something needs to be done because it could hurt or cause a death to someone.....
My transmission has been acting erratically for the past 30 days. At first the vehicle would lose acceleration and then the rpms would jump 2000, after a couple seconds i would hear a loud thump as the transmission reengaged; the speedometer also registered 0 a couple times when this happened. Other times the transmission would refuse to leave first gear or i would lose power while in first gear for approximately 10 seconds. The worst issue happened when i was driving the vehicle at approximately 35 mph when the transmission shifted into 1st gear and locked up my rear tires! thankfully i didn't get rear ended, or worse, been driving on the highway; there is no way i could have controlled the vehicle at high speeds and could have seriously injured myself or other drivers. Unfortunately these transmission issues are intermittent and do not generate error codes. I've been to two ford dealers, the first could not replicate the issue and the second was able to determine the issue is caused by a faulty electronic control assembly in the transmission; they had to search service bulletins in order to figure out what is happening. While this seems to be a common complaint with ford owners, 2013 vehicles are not included in the recall and they want to charge me $1412.75 to fix the issue. In addition, this is a major safety issue.
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
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the transmission malfunctioned. The contact stated that the vehicle switched from sixth gear to first gear at once, which caused the contact to temporarily lose control of the vehicle. The contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. Occasionally, while the vehicle was stationary, it would not accelerate forward. Crown ford in fayetteville, north carolina was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer stated that there was no recalls on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 37,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle downshifted without warning to a lower gear upon either acceleration or deceleration. The contact stated that the failure occurred most often in cold and rainy conditions. Betten baker ford in ludington, michigan was made aware of the failure and scheduled the contact an appointment for service. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was 77,000.
My truck is affected by an open recall and ford will not fix it. This has already cost almost $500, completely out of my own pocket. The truck downshifted from 6th gear to 1st while i was diving on the highway at 55 mph. This caused a transmission line to completely sheer at the connection. There is currently a recall for this exact problem but the ford dealership told me they were informed in am email from ford not top flash the update for 2013 models because it wasn't working.in response,the dealership fixed the line and charged me full price. Now the service wrench is flashing again.
Date 11/9/2018vehicle: ford f150 2013driver: experiencedmiles: 148,653date of incident: 11/1/2018location: south bound on i-275 in southeast, miroad condition: drydriver was on the highway going 73 mph in the left lane passing a semi when the vehicle shifted from 6th gear instantly into 1st gear. Causing the vehicles rear end to lock up and throw the vehicle sideways. Driver was facing the side of the tractor trailer head on now while the rear end was bouncing off of the rumple strips. The motor was well over 6800 rpms causing the tac to bounce between 6500 and 7000rpm. Not only did this put a lot of stress on the motor and turbo, this also shocked all of the driveline components. A shift like this is commonly referred to as a "money shift" because it destroys an entire driveline as well as the motor. Luckily the vehicles driveline was still intact after this harsh downshift and the driver was able to throw the truck into manual mod shift the truck back up to 5th gear and counter steer 2-3 times to correct from the tail end kicking out. The driver believes that an average driver would have died in this same situation. The driver feels lucky to be alive after experiencing this. After the driver pulled the truck into the nearest ford dealer and explained what happened they told the driver that they have not heard of this problem before and that they wouldn't be able to look at the vehicle for at least a week. The drive then called ford to report the issue and on three separate calls on 11/1/2018 ford told the driver that they will not cover the problem, because it's not a re-call. The driver would greatly appreciate it if the nhtsa can open an investigating into the 2013+ models of the f150's transmission suddenly shifting from 6th to 1st gear. This is a very deadly malfunction especially with icy roads just around the corner in mi.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the gears shifted on their own. The contact received an unknown recall noticeregarding the power train. Paul clark ford (464046 fl-200, yulee, fl 32097) was contacted and stated that the parts would not be available until june of 2019. The manufacturer was also contacted and stated that the parts were unavailable; however, nhtsa stated that the vehicle was safe to drive. The failure mileage was 117,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
My ford is experiencing symptoms of the sudden shifting issues. Itwill shift into 5th from first. It has shifted from first to fifth once. It has done the former numerous times.i have called the dealership and they refused to look at it if the check engine light was not on. I am now stuck with a truck that has a recall with no solution. I am not currently driving it due to the safety concern.
The dealership's first available appointment to address the recall was two weeks out.after trying to get an earlier appointment as the transmission had shifted gears while we were towing a trailer down a hill almost causing us to crash.the receptionist then told us that they actually cant make the correction and that we would be receiving a letter in the mail and refused to take our vehicle in.
Oil and radiator fluid leaks causing engine smoking and nauseating odor when heater turned on while engine cold or cold exterior temps.complete loss of engine and drive power randomly lasting 15-60secs, then all numbers ie: gas milage, speed, mileage become dashes, speedometer quits working, on highways and city street. Pulling over shutting off and restart will reset until next random episode.rough jerks and occasionally a bang with jerks (feel like it comes from the axels) usually at low speeds. More often in parking lots but in traffic jams on highways.once transmission recall complete it ran fantastic for a week and a half. Now it's worse than ever and engine light comes on for a day and then goes off.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the air bags warning light illuminated, the vehicle independently downshifted to 1st gear, and the wheel started to slide. The contact managed to veer to the shoulder of the road. The contact turned the vehicle off and back on and the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was taken to (mike ferrell ford lincoln, inc.1705 w 3rd ave, williamson, wv 25661) where it was diagnosed that the wire harness failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred multiple times. The contact mentioned nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) as a possible solution to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.
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
Taking off from a start, vehicle acted like transmission was slipping, then slammed between 5th gear and 2nd gear repeatedly, and entered limp home mode.separate instance: when passing another vehicle on two-lane road, full throttle, vehicle slammed into 2nd gear and entered limp home mode while i was in oncoming traffic, forcing me to abort the pass.both times, in order to resolve the problem, i had to pull over, stop the vehicle, turn ignition off, and re-start the vehicle.
Traveling approximately 75 mph on straight, level highway, automatic transmission was in 6th gear (highest gear), suddenly automatic transmission downshifted into much lower gear with no action taken on my part.transmission was subsequently ruined and had to be replaced.
I was traveling on the highway behind a truck towing a big camper. When i got a chance to try and pass him i got over to go around him and went to accelerate and my truck lost all power (check engine light started flashing) and i had to apply brake hard to slow back down to get back behind the truck. Luckily there was not anyone behind me so i was able to get back over.i had to pull over and set and the check engine light finally went out and truck started running fine. I took my truck into ford and they say nothing is wrong with it. This is a 2013 f150 with the ecoboost3.5 engine with less than 11k miles. I'm afraid to even drive it now.
Truck is down shifting when on highway, at times will not accelerate, loses speedometer indictation, has a output speed sensor code. When accelerating truck from stand still have to turn engine off sometimes multiple times to get transmission to engage
The front wheel bearings are going out, it is called the spindle part of the hub, makes loud vibration sounds and can be felt and heardthroughout the car at lower speeds. Sounds of rubbing or grinding with low miles and just purchased used from dealer weeks ago.
Truck shifts into low gear at higher rates of speed and all gauges shut off, its a 720 code, output speed sensor circuit, ford had a recall that went to march of 2012 and mine was built in october and not covered under the recall, this is a safety issue and you could loose control at anytime when it start to down shift when going 70mph
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated. The contact stated that this was the third time the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to parkway ford lincoln (311 commercial pkwy, dover, oh 44622) where it was diagnosed that the molded lead frame failed and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
Transmission shifting to 5th gear from a stop which causes the truck to not be able accelerate.transmission also shifting to 1st gear (from 6th) while operating at highway speeds causing rear wheels to lock up.
While driving at highway speed the transmission abruptly down shifts to first gear.in the winter with snow/ice on the road this causes the rear wheels to lock-up .i do not want someone to run into the rear of my vehicle or loose control.the truck was assembled in sept of 2012. The engine is a 3.7 liter w/ 6 speed auto. 4 wheel drive. In june of 2018 (6/22/2018) i brought this truck to copper country ford, houghton mi. And had the service department "reflash" update the tcm ( transmission control module)
I took my 2013 ford f-150 with the ecoboost engine on a week long vacation down to south texas (approx. 1200 miles or 17.5 hours one way) it was sunny and warm the entire trip down and the vehicle ran great. However on the way back up to iowa in was raining as soon as we left and only let up raining for 20 min increments the entire way home. About 5 hours in we pulled off the interstate to get gas and eat. We got back in the vehicle and proceeded to get on the on ramp and return to the interstate. I was going about 40 mph with smooth acceleration when i gave my truck a little bit of gas to merge into the 75mph traffic. My truck did not move, instead it continued to go 40mph and revved up to redline. I had to let off of the gas completely and put my foot back on it and slowly climb up to 65mph. The truck started shaking horribly and my check engine light started to flash. After about 45 seconds the check engine light stopped flashing and the engine stopped shaking. I then could make very slight speed increments. I could not however step on the gas to pass somebody without the truck revving up to redline and shaking again. This happened every time i tried to accelerate quickly the rest of the way back (12.5 hours). The truck runs great until it is introduced to 70mph interstate driving in heavy rain for long periods of time.
Ford recall 19s07under this program, it is only a software fix to program the vehicle to ignore the symptoms of failure. The software patch programs the computer to ignore errors in the oss sensor. This could mask true problems with the oss and thus the transmission as a whole. Further, it could cause a catastrophic failure of the transmission, engine, or both.our vehicle started experiencing the symptoms described in this recall on or aboutfebruary 10, 2019. As my wife was accelerating onto the highway, it shuttered and downshifted into first gear. After a few moments, the vehicle shifted back up normally. As soon as the recall was issued, i scheduled an appoint with andy mohr ford in plainfield, in to have the vehicle repaired on or about february 26, 2019. I was informed that the software patch for the 2013 models will not be available until the second quarter of 2019. I advised the service representative that we were experiencing the issues described. I was advised that the vehicle was not safe to drive. I contacted ford's customer care and was advised the same thing but that they would not provide a rental vehicle in the interim until the fix was issued.on or about march 5, 2019, i spoke with the service representative with andy mohr ford again and was advised that the software patch would not actually fix the issue of the transmission downshifting. Further, it was stated that the vehicle is not safe to drive. Further, that this fix would simply mask the issue that was potentially wrong with the vehicle and that ford would not cover the repair for the actual defect.
The transmission will shift out of gear, into a higher gear, or into a lower gear without warning.the speedometer goes to zero and the rpms will race to 5000 or 6000.the worst instance of this happened at 60 mph when it all of a sudden shifted into first gear causing the rear tires to squeal, the engine to rev, and also loose control of the vehicle.the error code of a "wrench" popped up on the dashboard.in my research, the 2011 and 2012 f150s have already been recalled but this needs to include the 2013 as well.the repair is the "lead frame" in the transmission at a cost of over $1,000.this is a very serious safety issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving in first gear, the vehicle failed to change gears and the wrench warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally. On several occasions, the failure occurred. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train), but the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called kevin powell's foothill ford (located at 3220 cook school rd, pilot mountain, nc 27041, (336) 368-2239) and was informed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph downhill in second gear, the vehicle felt as if it were shifted into neutral and accelerated down the hill. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000. Updated 03/09/16*ljthe consumer stated while driving down a hill, when the transmission was cold, he put the vehicle in second gear.however, it held back for approximately 10 seconds and then it felt as though the vehicle went into neutral on its own. Updated 5/10/16.
I was driving down the on ramp to merge with traffic and my truck shifted to 1st gear locking up the back tires which caused me to almost loose control and get rear endedby the person behind me. Cause of problem found at ford dealer was faultymolded lead frame.
03/31/17 vin [xxx] was rear ended at 80 mph. [xxx] was pushed into the concrete center divider upon impact the drivers airbag failed to deploy, resulting in injury to the driver. Drivers side curtains deployed. Vehicle is preserved in evidence. Detailed photos and police report are available of inspection.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When attempting to pull into traffic from stopped position, automatic transmission begins forward motion in 5th gear and will not change from 5th gear.as accelerator is pressed rpms go up but car barely moves.once truck is turned off and back on transmission is back in 1st gear, but this isn't always an option when cars are approaching rapidly from behind.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While attempting to accelerate from a stop sign at 5 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear and stalled. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal to the floorboard, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. When the contact turned off the engine and restarted the vehicle, there were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was associated with nhtsa campaign number: 19v750000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to boshears ford (located at 15081 w michigan ave, marshall, mi 49068) to be diagnosed, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 70,000.
While driving at 70mph noticed my truck had down shifted into 5th gear, i slowed to pull over and noted the airbag light was on, the wrench indicator and speedometer was at zero. My truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear at approximately 25-30 mph. I was able to stop safely at the shoulder and turned the ignition off and restarted. My truck started normally. I went to ford huntington beach and described the situation. After evaluating dealer stated trans fluid full, poss lead frame damage and valves getting stuck. $1600!i informed the dealer of the pending recall for the transmission on this vehicle and was informed that it only covered a software upgrade. Damage caused by a known fault should be covered by the manufacturer.
While driving 65 mph my 2013 f150 downshifted into first gear and locked the rear tires cause me to spin out of control.this caused minor body damage to the vehicles rear bumper, from hitting something off the side of the road.i called multiple dealerships and explained what happened at the beginning of febuary 2020.they explained that they could get me into fix the problem for about 20 days at minimum and even then they would have to keep it longer to fix it if there was something wrong.i explained that i almost rolled the vehicle after spinning out of control and asked if they could get it in sooner, the answer was continuously no from all of the dealers.i asked them if i should still drive the vehicle and they said it shouldn't be a problem to do so, i then stated so you want me to continue to drive the vehicle even though this happened and potentially get into an accident and injury myself and or someone else or permanently damage the vehicles powertrain. They still said that it should be ok to drive the vehicle.well it locked up again causing another spin out and i almost hit a school bus.how is this legal?i even called ford extended care for help and they told me that this is a recall and even though i have premium care it only covers a 10 day rental for things other then a recall and to call the dealers back for further details.so i called the dealers back and the dealers told me there rentals are all book for the next 2 weeks.a vehicle that almost killed me and other people because of this mechanical flaw shouldn't be legal to sell.and how am i supposed to go to work and get my kids around for the next month, when ford will do nothing to help.how is it that they would let me and others drive these vehicle and it not be mandated they be picked up from peoples homes and fixed.this is criminal of ford and it was a going to kill someone.
I was driving roughly 30 mph down a residential street with some loose rocks (due to a recent storm) when my f150 suddenly dropped into first gear causing my rear wheels to lock and slide a bit.i was going straight and there was nothing out of the ordinary going on.
While the vehicle was in motion the truck suddenly downshifted and caused the engine to rev to max rpms. This resulted in a sudden jolt of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration. Vehicles traveling behind me had to slam their brakes to narrowly avoid rear ending me because the truck slowed down so suddenly and with no brake lights as a warning. On several occasions in the last 2 days since this happened, the speedometer has acted erratically by going up and down from 0 to highway speed of 60mph while i was traveling with cruise control set at 60. The transmission seems to shift erratically into a gear that would match the speed of where the speedometer indicates even though the true speed is 60mph. These sudden down shifts seem to have damaged my transmission because the truck now has issues going into gear from a stop and will rev to over 4000 rpm without shifting into 1st gear to start moving. Once it's moving, the transmission often shifts erratically when the speedometer acts up. I will not drive the truck anymore except to have it repaired because it is too dangerous.
The vehicle has two "types" of problem that may be related.in some cases, the truck drops down into 1st gear regardless of the speed.this has happened three times since i picked up the truck following the attempted recall repair, but none of these incidences of dropping into 1st gear caused error codes to pop up.in another "type" of incident,the speedometer drops to zero even while in motion, and the vehicle stays in 3rd gear no matter the speed (including when not in motion, even after shifting into park and back to drive, the vehicle automatically jumps to 3rd gear before i even start to move).during this second type of incident, the airbag light came on, as did the wrench/check engine light.this second type of incident triggered many error codes:u0401:68-48b00a0:68-08u0401:00-08p0722:00-68u0401:86-08u0401:00-08u0401:68-08b1083:07-08u0423:00-28
Transmission briefly downshifted to first gear. I was traveling approximately 45 mph on a 4 lane street. I was not turning. The road was relatively flat. I did not lose control, as the transmission shifted back to fifth relatively quick. Transmission will also attempt to start in fifth gear from a complete stop. I was almost rear ended from this event.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the gears shifted without warning and caused the rear tires to seize. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (charlie henderson ford inc, 105 u s 90, waveland, ms 39576, (228)-467-9005) for diagnostic testing, but no errors were found. The contact stated that the failure continued. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.*
My truck randomly shifts to a higher gear when i'm driving.
While driving 45 or 50 miles per hour the transmission downshifted from 6th gear to 1st causing the wheels to lock up and putting me into a skid. The rear of the truck fishtailed to the right hitting a curb. If a car was parked there or a pedestrian was walking, things could have been much worse!
The contact called to file a safety complaint however he does not remember details as he blacked out. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, he attempted to make a turn on a curve was all he could recall of the incident. The contact stated per the police report the vehicle crashed into a corner post and a fence. The contact stated that the air bags deployed. The contact stated per the police report there were no skid marks to indicate that the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The contact was transported by ambulance to the hospital as he was unconscious. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact stated received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) after the failure and he believes this was a cause of the vehicle failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 75 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was damage to the transmission from the downshifting. The vehicle was towed to cornerstone ford chrysler dodge jeep ram (located at 17219 us-10, elk river, mn 55330, (763) 441-2300), but was not repaired. The dealer provided case number: cas-1767520924t7s4 and stated that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
I was on my way to work as a firefighter for my shift when with no warning my truck went from high gear straight down to first gear then to park causing sudden stop and a minor accident on i275 cincinnattithen coming home it instantly went into park on us route 50 causing my truck to go out of control and swerved over into the oncoming lane almost hitting someone head on then could not move the truck as it was stuck in park sitting sideways between both lanes i finally was able to get it to move again but it barely moved as it was in high gear stuck there.i was able to barely remove it from the road and had to have a tow truck retrieve it and bring it to my house this is a real safety issue that ford is not in a hurry to fix on a recall issue on the transmissions therefore leaving me without a truck or vehicle to drive almost had a serious crash twice now.plus my transmission is completely out of my truck now no movement for any loading etc.
Truck went into limp mode in traffic and almost had a wreck before i could get off freeway.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at 60 mph, the gear down shifted from sixth gear down to third, back up a few gears then back down, without warning and caused consumer to lose control temporarily. The failure occurred on two occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer llc chapman ford located at llc 3951 columbia ave, columbia, pa 17512 where it was diagnosed that the wire harness melted which needed replacement along with the pcm. In addition, the dealer informed that there might be a possibility that the transmission would have been damaged as well but wont be determined until further use of the vehicle.the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000. *dt
Transmission randomly downshifts while driving, causing wheel lockup and unsafe condition
Within 10 minutes and 2 miles of engine startup and after turning onto a national highway and at highway speedthe rpm andengine power dropped suddenly to idle and would not respond to accelerator input. After stopping and immediately restarting the engine, performance was normal and the warning light for powertrain malfunction/reduced power/electronic throttle control was off. The last time this happened i was in the middle of a busy intersectionof the same highway and another four lane street/highway while accelerating from a traffic light stop. No codes were shown on two different diagnostic tools. Fortunately, i was not towing a trailer at the time.
I was driving down the road and my truck all of a sudden shifted down into 1st gear and became stuck. Had to stop the vehicle and turn it off. Started driving again and it did the exact same thing within 5 minutes. No lights came on or anything. Has done it for 3 days. I can drive in manual mode but it still has trouble wanting to shift but again no lights coming on.
I had recently bought a 2013 f150 have owned it for almost 6 months now it started with it's like i can be driving and it's like the transmission acts funny slows down and then a wrench symbolwill show up on the dash then i pull over and shut it off then back on it's ok. Coming home yesterday it's like it downshifted and then the rpms raise to 5000 and i was on the interstate passing a vehicle and i could have caused a wreck something wrong with the transmission very dangerous i don't know if it's been recalled or not i just would like to know though actually i will find out if it's been recalled or not and fixed.
Sporadic shifting. Transmission and/or oil pressure causes the truck to completly shut down on me when driving down the highway.
When braking the engine keeps going and wont stop. Have to put car in park and shut off. Truck just propells forward when brake pressed

Regular morning, right as i was driving out of the parking lot, two alarms went off: "power train" and "service engine soon". At first i thought it was an error so i continued to drive out of the parking lot. Not even 10 yards out, my truck began to jerk forward so i put on park and shut the engine off. I started again, attempted to drive back to my parking stall, and same thing happened. I bought this truck about 10 months ago and it only got 7800 miles on it. I haven't put any strenuous work load on this truck, mainly used for commuting so far.
Sudden downshift into 1st gear at highway speeds. Speedometer and digital displaystops working.
Driving at around 40 mph vehicle down shifted to low gear & wrench 🔧 light came on & speedometer went to 0 & vehicle remained in low gear but i was able to make it back home. After turning ignition off for few minutes & back on it cleared out issue & was able to drive again. Not sure what's going on but dealer can't check it for two weeks, 2-18-21. There was a couple recalls 19s07 6r80, 19s19 6r80 for sudden transmission downshift powertrain control module programming, which was done by dealer.
While driving my ford f-150 on 12-11-2020 going about 40 - 50 mph my truck suddenly downshifted from 6th gear while driving down to first gear. This caused my truck to go into a tire squealing skid. I was lucky no one was around me. Once i got control and the truck slowed it still would not shift out of first gear. I pulled over and waited a couple of minutes and turned the vehicle off. Once i turned it back on everything seemed normal i was able to drive to my home a couple of blocks away with no problems. There i let the car sit over the weekend not driving it again until i took it to the dealership on 12-14-2020. Earlier that year on 6-25-2020 i took my truck into the dealership to do the software update which was supposed to eliminate the sudden downshifting in the 6-speed transmission that i have. From what i have experienced apparently the fix did not work. The service department claimed that the fix should have taken care of the problem and it had to be something else. They are currently running diagnostics to figure out what the problem is. I have also contacted the customer service department which said they could do nothing else unless ford further opens recalls again for this vehicle. I was told all i could do is keep the receipts for the labor and repairs and hope that maybe i can get reimbursed in the future if the recall is opened again. This is a very serious issue which can also be life-threatening ford needs to do what's right and repair these vehicles properly instead of going the cheap route and trying a software fix which only masks the problem temporarily. I am currently without any way to and from work at this time due to this problem. The dealership would not even give a loaner vehicle for my problems.

Since purchased new the engine will intermittently completely shut down especially during damp weather. It has spent weeks at different dealerships yet the problem persists. The engine will sputter and kill taking with it the power steering, brakes, and lights. It is still an issue today. The other problem that is really concerning is the automatic transmission will suddenly shift itself into first gear at highway speeds and send rpms racing for no reason. I was told by my dealership v&h in marshfield that they 'reprogrammed' the transmission but that still happens from time to time. All of these things happened mainly at highway speeds with the engine being most common during wet weather. It happens rather frequently with the last episode being on 8/12/19
Driving down road truck shifts from 6th gear to 1st gear.feels like hitting a brick wall.brought to ford dealer ship told me part of recall part won't be out till april.called ford company told me nothing they can do for me to drive the vehicle like that. Voiced my safety concern due to power train being main part of vehicle as well as danger of truck down shift at high speed.ford motor company still stated they can not help me even though part of recall
I know that the us govt is looking into fords that downshift randomly into first gear, and i wanted to report that my f150 has done this twice, i don't remember where the second one occurred but the first one was on the highway going about 65.sudden unexpected downshift to a low gear and engine rpms redline and truck slows down considerably.my truck was built 1/13.
In february 2018 my 2013 ford f-150 while driving at approximately 50 to 60 mph the truck would without warning slam into first gear and causing the rear tires to skid for a split second. This truck is the vehicle that my wife uses on a daily basis to commute and to run our kids back and forth from school and sporting events so to me it was very unpredictable and extremely dangerous situation to be put in without warning this is you happened.this issue happened several times over a period of about 2 to 3 weeks and started to occur more frequently. We took it to the service department at ken garff ford in american fork utah where we originally purchase the vehicle they looked it over and recommended changing out the entire transmission i got online did some research read through several different forms and found out that this is something that was happening to the 2011/2012 f-150s so i knew that it wasn't a full transmission issue that something else was going on so i took it to larry miller ford in provo utah described what the problem was they sounded to be more confident and sounded like they had dealt with the same issue on other f150s. They did their tests and did say that it was the molded lead frame was issue and that that it needed to be changed out and gave me a quote to get it fixed. I agreed to get the work done. The repairs were done to the transmission and it has been working flawlessly ever since.in march 2019 we received the letter stating the safety recall for our exact situation. Nhtsa 19v- 075. Called ford motor company trying to get a refund and they refused saying it's only a software update that doesn't even exist yet. So that makes no since why they won't reimburse us for the issue that was fixed by their service department.

My ford 150 v8 supercab at 32 miles per hour starts shaking the whole truck and vibrates. It does this regardless of road conditions and or gear the truck is in. It only goes away when you drop below 32 or go faster than 35.
On slow take off the truck has a vibration up to 5 mph. It does not happen every time unless there is something being towed behind it.

I was driving highway speed and my transmissionshifted from 6th gear to 3rd without warning causing my rear tires to lock up and skid. This has happened 3 different times in the last week. I have the truck at the ford dealer nowwaiting for them to call me back. I know my model year is not involved with the national recall but i fell like it is the same problem. As described in the 2011-2012 recall.
Vehicle experienced erratic shifting when at speed on the highway and when accelerating from a stop on multiple occasions. Speedometer, gear display and other dashboard indicators stop functioning when it happens. Transmission may stick in 3rd gear depending on current speed when it happens and in some cases the wrench icon shows on the digital display. Stopping and restarting vehicle usually makes it go back to normal temporarily. Local dealer diagnosed the problem as the transmission lead frame connector and replaced but cost was not covered current 2011-2012 recall.
The truck shifts by itself into other gears at a stop. It also shifts by itself into first gear when i am going 25-35 mph.
Receives a couple notices from ford/autonation stating to schedule my truck forrepairs. 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.

I was traveling north-bound on an interstate at 70 mph when the vehicle suddenly down-shifted to 1st gear. As a result, the rear tires locked up and skidded across the pavement until a slower speed was reached. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and no injuries/accidents resulted from the occurrence.
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.
While driving 75mph vehicle shifted from 6th to 3rd on the highway. Check engine light came on. After putting into park and turning off truck and restarting it the check engine light was off and vehicle drove fine for about another week.

When driving the vehicle it downshifts into first gear causing the vehicle to go into "limp mode."the first time this happened we had it towed and then discovered there had been a recall issued. Since then we have had multiple breakdowns of varying degrees. The last down shift almost caused an accident as the back tires completely locked up while driving approximately 45 miles per hour. An independent mechanic has declared the truck unsafe to drive, but our local ford dealership has stated they can not fix it yet and that the drivability of the vehicle is not their problem.
Once the truck is idling, after a few moments a wrench logo is displayed and all the tach gauges turn off and the acceleration is sluggish. Sometimes when driving the truck doesn't leave 1st gear or it'll bounce around gears. When the truck is turned off and then turned back on, everything can go right back to nornal. Having this issue is a major safety issue if the vehicle stalls in traffic or worse. Many reports are made on the internet's and i haven't seen a recall. Funny how the 2011-12 models have an oasis on it but not the 2013 granted it's plagued by the same issue.

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 backaugust 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 itaugust 15, 2017 - local ford has been able to reproduce the issue. Transmission was shifting randomly into different gears.

I was driving on the freeway going 65mph when the transmission started switching gears it went from 6 gear to 1st gear in a matter of 1 second, luckily no one was behind me or else i wouldā€™ve got hit. I took it to ford to get recall unexpected transmission downshift fixed, but it didnā€™t fix anything it actually got worse. Now the speed gauges stop working out of no where and it gets stuck in whatever gear i am driving in when this happens 2 codes turn on p0720 output shaft speed sensor andp0721output shaft speed range/performance. My truck had no issues before this recall. My life is in danger when iā€™m driving this truck i have called the dealership but i get the same answer every time that thereā€™s nothing else they can do.

Was driving my eco boost while towing a 26 foot travel trailer and while in 4th gear truck instantly and without warning shifted into 1st gear causing rpms to be dangerously high. The truck/trailer combo instantly slowed and truck would not ,automatically or manually, shift out of first gear. We continued driving in first gear for a short distance when we smelled transmission fluid. We stopped the truck to investigate and found our transmission line had busted which leaked fluid all over the road. We had truck towed to local ford dealership who told us that the transmission shifting issue is related to a current recall but ford has not issued a fix for the recall. The dealer then charged me $568.21 to fix the transmission line stating that ford has not included the transmission line fix in their related recall. Ford is refusing to pay associated towing expenses, as well. I called ford customer relations to lodge a complaint regarding this issue and was told the dealer makes final decisions. Case id # cas-17653886. Ford tells me i need to continue to drive this truck knowing there is a transmission issue until ford releases a fix for these transmissions. I feel it is completely unsafe to drive knowing this could happen at any given moment while driving and especially for a truck that is already known to have had this happen.
My 2013 f-150 is experiencing the exact same symptoms that are covered under a ford recall for 2011 thru 2012 f150s 16n02 molded leadframe extended warranty recall.the transmission will downshift into first gear all by itself, even at highway speeds, resulting in rear wheel skidding and transmission lock-up.

I noticed my f150 shifting strange at some points recently(with in the last couple months) then i was watching the news and saw that there was a recall issued on 11-13 f150s. So i called my local ford dealer and they looked up my vehicle to see if it was affected by the recall. It was part of the recall so they asked me to set an appointment for it to be fixed. So i did, i left it with them for two days on the second day they called to tell me they can't fix it because ford hasn't developed the software to fix it and it won't be available until sometime in the second quarter of the year. I asked them if i was going to get a rental until it can be fixed due to it being a safety concern. I drive my 2 small children in this vehicle daily. They told me no and that i would need to call ford. So i called ford and after multiple attempts to try and speak to a manager in their customer relations department i finally get a call from lenny the manager who processed to tell me that 'safety is not a justifiable reason for them to issue me a rental' so i asked him what happens when myself or my children get hurt or killed due to the nature of the recall being that my truck can suddenly downshift to first gear as i'm going down the highway. He did not have any answer for that and told me there's nothing he can do. So i then asked to talk to someone above him. He said there wasn't anyone above him. I'm very concerned about driving this truck especially with my children in it if it can downshift to first gear at anytime. That can cause a big problem and hurt or kill anyone in my truck and others on the roadways. This is a big safety issue because it's putting motorists at possible risk every time one of these affected vehicles is driving down the road. And they don't have any way to fix the problem yet.
Automatic transmission unexpectedly downshifted to first gear while traveling down the highway at 50 mph suddenly without warning causing the rear tires to slide and lock,and the control panel inside the vehicle is blinked out not showing anything.

After driving about 200 miles at 65mph in the rain, i accelerated quickly to pass a vehicle and my 2013 ford f-150 ecoboost truck seemed to lose power/stall and i could no longer accelerate. The engine light flashed for several minutes while this was happening and after several minutes (probably 2-3), power was restored and the engine light went off.
Truck downshifts while driving down the road speed sensor jumps around and truck starts jerking back and forth. No lights come on the dash to say anything is wrong. It has done it three times on the interstate. Once it did it while not moving it jumped into fog gear and wouldn't shift
The 4x4 tried to turn on while the vehicle is running by it self.
I got on the freeway after getting gas from gas station. I was at 70 mph and it startedto downshifting and i was lucky to move to the shoulder from fast lane. Dealer already did the repair for this recall last year.
My truck has 58,000 miles on it. About 6 months ago it periodically began having issues losing power and shifting erratically. Initially, i pulled over and cut the truck off and restarted it. This solved the problem temporarily. Recently it began to do it more and more frequently. I took it to my local mechanic and he ran a diagnostic on it. It came back as a problem with the "lead frame module" in the transmission. He also said i missed out on a recall of this problem by 2 months. (the recall on this issue was through april of 2013 and my truck was manufactured in june of 2013.) he suggested i take it to my local ford dealer in parsons tn. I did this and once again had the same problem diagnosed for another $90 fee. I was quoted approximately $600 to have this problem corrected. I made the earliest appointment they had to have this repaired, which was a week later. My appointment would have been today, 8/23/2018, but they called me yesterday saying they wouldn't be able to get me in until next week. I went ahead and rescheduled and continued to drive my truck. Today i was driving it and without warning, it suddenly downshifted and my rear wheels locked up. I luckily didn't wreck but came very close. I came home and began researching the lead frame issue and saw many people had this same thing happen. I was never told by the dealership my truck wasn't safe to drive and this might happen. I really like my truck but now i am very disappointed with ford in general. I searched extensively to find a truck with no mechanical issues and now find out that not only do i have a " major" issue, but it missed out on a being corrected for free by 2 months. If i am going to have to pay to have a problem fixed that is an admitted defect, i will never again own another ford!

My vehicle was down shifting when i was in 5 and 6 gear.i took it to a local dealership (which took 3 months).they said that there was something wrong with my truck but didn't know how to fix it.i took it to another dealership, and they found a recall notice. They try to fix the issue with reprograming.however, it never corrected the issues.i was told by the dealership that ford had to figure out how to fix the problem.i now avoid going over any big hills, bridges and highways to prevent my vehicle from downshifting. In this whole process my vehicle hasn't been recording the correct mileage and now i have higher miles then i should.i bought my vehicle a little more then a year ago and nearly has 30,000 miles on it.i only drive to and from work a total of 12 miles a day for 5 days.this error in programing i feel has cause other damage to my vehicle besides the downshifting and adding extra miles.if ford could have corrected this problem in timely manner it could have save the truck, but due the dealerships having no clue how to fix it.my truck is nice paper weight.
I first starting having the problem 5 days ago and the odometer will go to zero and the truck will not be responsive in terms of pressing the gas and a wrench symbol comes up. I was told it is the lead frame control.

Driving down freeway at 65 truck shift from 6 gear to 1st locking up tires then back to 6 gear did this several times this is not safe then engine lost power and wrench light showed up turn key off and it restarted
I bought this truck 04/16/2021 that has been updated with all of ford's recalls. I felt comfortable with this purchase until i started experiencing major issues with the transmission on 04/17/2021. When i started my truck there was no check lights turned on so i put the truck into drive. As i was driving i noticed the trucks transmission was not shifting out of 1st gear on city streets. I pulled over restarted it and the problems went away. As i was driving down the highway i lost my odometer twice which made me have to pull over to restart the truck. As i was putting the truck into drive the trucks transmission jumped into 5th gear while i still had my foot on the brake. I turned around and as i was driving on the highway at 65 mph when i experienced a sudden downshift from 5th gear to 1st gear. Whatever ford did for these recalls isn't enough, and the problems needs to be addressed more properly because it did not fix the problems the recalls were suppose to fix. I am scared to even move that truck anymore because i don't want to get into an accident or hurt someone because this problem wasn't fixed properly.

Ford has known about the leadframe issue on the transmissions for a very long time.their fix, besides extending the warranty, is to modify the software.however, they've now delayed that fix until an expected october date for my 2013 f-150.that is totally unacceptable.they should be required to replace the leadframe now.

We took our ford f150 in for erratic downshifting, were able to provide photographic evidence of the problem, but because no error codes are popping up and they can't replicate the problem they are returning out vehicle to us. My issue is ford knows this is an issue and knows the fix is to update the software then look for error codes, but they are acting as they have no idea this is a known problem amongst the 2011-2013 models and they are sending the unfixed car back home to be a safety hazard not only to my family but the families on the road around us.
In november 2019, my vehicle started shifting inappropriately and i took it to the dealership to get it fixed. The dealership said it was a recall issue. The recall was for a lead frame and a reprogramming in the pcm. This repair was done for the two recall issues. My vehicle recently began doing the exact same thing, shifting up and down without warning while i was driving down the main road in my town. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership and they in formed me of a different pcm reprogramming available for that recall. The next day the dealership stated it was a different issue with transmission and it was sending a different code which is not part of the recall. Now the dealership is saying i will need a replacement or rebuilt transmission, and it is not covered by the recall.

I was driving in traffic at approximately 45 mph when my truck suddenly surged as if i had hit something and a faint squeal of the rear tires.then as sudden at it happened the truck began to roll smoothly again. A wrench appeared on the dash screen with a statement that said "maintenance required".the airbag indication illuminated.once the wrench symbol and "maintenance required" statement disappeared the regular screen came back that showed the mileage and the amount of miles until empty, except the numbers were all dashes.also the speedometer was showing that i was going 0 mph when i was clearly moving around 45 mph.i tried to accelerate and the vehicle would not accelerate no matter how much throttle i gave it.i noticed the truck was stuck in 5th gear.i tried to manually shift the gears and when i pressed the + and - buttons on the gear shifter the number "5" on the dash would flash and not change gears.i could not seem to get the truck over 2300 rpm.i took a photo of the display showing the dashes and 0 mph.
My 2013 ford f150 xlt began flashing a warning saying service advancetrac. Then it immediately begins flashing shift to park. The truck then begins to downshift causing a rapid slowing of the truck.. When i get to the side of the road to stop i hear metal on metal grinding noises from the engine compartment that i believe is the transmission trying to shift to park... The truck then loses all blinkers and flashers as well as all lighting on the instrument panel. I was able to drive it to a safe location off the road this time.. The truck randomly continues this and its been in the shop several times and they say nothing is wrong with it. I finally got fed up and began video of the dash display in order to document my safety and problems. This truck is 9 months old and has 14000 miles on it. It has done it again and all electrical systems would not reboot and left me stranded for a long time. We have been driving on i95 at 75mph during holiday traffic and it happened again and we literally thought we would be killed because cars had to slam on brakes to avoid our disabled car. It was even scarier since my 6month old daughter was in the vehicle then.we are at a loss because ford has completely ignored the problem and just assumes i will stop making them fix this at some point. I'm in a 1 car family and bought this to accommodate my new baby and have her a safe ride...this problem is dangerous and it is going to hurt or kill someone if its left unaddressed. [xxx] at jim hudson ford service has told me he knows its something wrong with it but ford will not allow him to fix it under the warranty terms for new trucks.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On april 14, 2018 i was driving my 2013 f-150 on the highway approximately 70mph in the rain when the back wheels suddenly locked up and i abruptly began stopping and i lost control, fishtailing to the left and right (almost to a spin), barely missing vehicles around me and the wall to the left.the car behind me somehow veered around and missed me too.as this was happening the truck was making a loud noise as it automatically slowed down.i somehow made it to the side of the road where i parked and shut the truck off and tried to settle down and gain my composure (...it was scary, i thought i was going to die from this incident!).i restarted the truck and slowly began drive.it seemed to drive ok so i decided to take the truck to the dealer for service. As i was driving cautiously, well below the speed limit on a 40mph road the engine then shut down and i could see a screen appear with "low oil pressure".i glided to a parking lot and had my truck towed to the dealer where i purchased the truck (suburban ford of waterford michigan).the dealer said there was a knock in the engine and said it threw a rod.they said the engine failure was the result of the wheels locking up.i researched and found the exact same issue on 2013 f-150's with the transmission automatically downshifting to a low gear causing the rear wheels to lock up.the dealer said they were aware of this and said there is a recall for this on 2011 and 2012 f-150's for this but no recall presently active on the 2013 f-150.i purchased a full warranty for the truck when new but the truck is just out of warranty at 110k miles. The dealer said they could provide a refurbished engine for $10,000. I've been going back and forth with ford and the dealer at this point. This is a very dangerous life threatening issue.see:http://autoweek.com/article/recalls/fords-downshifting-recall-may-expand
I have intermittently noticed for the past 10 months the transmission will be shifted to low gear (1st or 2nd) and is unable to shift into the higher gears.the automatic transmission is in drive when this happens.it occurs while i am driving, and i have to manually shift it back into drive with the manual gear up buttons on gear shifter. It happens when i am in motion driving in the city, and i have not seen it happen on the highway at high speeds yet.the symptoms are described in detail in ford recall 19s07, but my pickup doesn't qualify for the recall.

My transmission downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear in nov 2018. The transmission then would no longer shift due to the damage it caused. I had the transmission rebuilt by ford. Soon after the repairs ford released a safety recall for the exact problem. I took the vehicle in and they performed the recall service. I asked about reimbursement for the prior repairs and was told yes it would be covered because it was caused by the recall. The truck continued to randomly shift to neutral or skip gears. I took it back in. They said it was caused by the rear main seal, this has nothing to do with shifting. The transmission has never leaked. The issues continued on until on february 27th the transmission dropped to 1st gear on the highway (65 mph) nearly causing a major accident and throwing me against the steering wheel. I just contacted ford recall department and inquired about full reimbursement and to notify them that this happened again. They said they would not reimburse me any $ and ignored my complaint about the transmission downshifting like that again. I am now sitting with a sore back, $4,000 repair cost and a truck that may put my life and any passengers life in danger while in the vehicle.

This complaint is about a known issue with certain ford vehicles related to the transmission molded leadframe.on may 26, 2021, i was accelerating onto a highway when my transmission downshifted from 4th gear to 1st gear and my speedometer and tachometer failed.thankfully i was able to pull over safely and when re-started, the speedometer and tachometer came back up and the vehicle was driveable again.the next night, i experienced the same thing only i was in a parking lot and was again able to safely pull my vehicle over.i was not able to get an appointment at my local dealer until june 10th at which point they confirmed it was the leadframe and subject to the extended warranty.my complaint is that ford was allowed to take the easy way out and wait for a failure of the faulty leadframe as opposed to this being a recall with proactive replacement.in my instance, i was not traveling at a high rate of speed.however, i was planning on taking the truck on a road trip on may 29th where if that had happened i would not have been so lucky.this issue is dangerous and needs to be under a full recall, not an extended warranty.

The air bags did not deploy upon impact. No medical attention was given at the scene; however, his daughter did suffer minor bruising. The whereabouts of the other driver was unknown. A police report was filed.due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where they have yet to inspect or diagnose the failure. The contact stated that his vehicle was previously placed under nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) which he linked to his failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred only during rainy or humid weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on three separate occasions where the six spark plugs, converter assembly, and nuts were replaced. In addition, the pcm was updated, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,132.
My transmission downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear in nov 2018. The transmission then would no longer shift due to the damage it caused. I had the transmission rebuilt by ford. Soon after the repairs ford released a safety recall for the exact problem. I took the vehicle in and they performed the recall service. I asked about reimbursement for the prior repairs and was told yes it would be covered because it was caused by the recall. The truck continued to randomly shift to neutral or skip gears. I took it back in. They said it was caused by the rear main seal, this has nothing to do with shifting. The transmission has never leaked. The issues continued on until on february 27th the transmission dropped to 1st gear on the highway (65 mph) nearly causing a major accident and throwing me against the steering wheel. I just contacted ford recall department and inquired about full reimbursement and to notify them that this happened again. They said they would not reimburse me any $ and ignored my complaint about the transmission downshifting like that again. I am now sitting with a sore back, $4,000 repair cost and a truck that may put my life and any passengers life in danger while in the vehicle.

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.
My rpm kneedle pop off. My seats are tearling
1. Engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed.. 2. Powertrain, transmission - receiveda recall 19v-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. Took the f150 to gateway ford dealership for the update. The next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter eradicable the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, i shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. This has happened again, not sure of dates. As i was traveling out of south dakota i contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another ford dealership and they would fix it. Took it to auto nation ford in corpus christi, tx. They wouldn't fix it . They said the update wad already done. The pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. In addition the drivers seat is wearing out. It should rear better than that. The pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. One more issue. The positive battery post continually corrodes. I've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. Please have someone address these issues on my f150.i think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv.thank you[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
Brake master cylinder failure. The master cylinder has developed a leak that caused brake fluid to drain into the brake booster, then causing the engine to suck brake fluid into the motor.the brake pedal went straight to the floor. This could of potentially caused an accident, or even a death if the problem was not noticed sooner. The vehicle almost lost all braking force which could of killed someone. Ford is denying to fix the recall #16s24 for the vehicle because it was not manufactured during the years of the recall. Problem is the issue the vehicle has is the exact same issue taken care of in the mentioned recall, for the exact same make and model truck.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While approaching a stop sign at approximately 25 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when it was depressed. The failure occurred without warning. The contact pulled over, checked the brake fluid, and noticed it was empty. The contact purchased fluid from an auto parts store and refilled the brake fluid; however, the brake fluid was empty again a mile down the road. Roadside assistance towed the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact notified the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Brakes failed. Was driving to work when i need to stop for red light and pedal went to the floor and i almost went thru the intersection on highway route 100. This was do to the master cylinder and brake booster frailer. I know there is a recall for this but my model and vin # is not included. It has since been repaired by the dealer at a cost to me and not under any recall like the othermodels
Brakes failed while 2013 eccoboost 3.5lf-150 was parked.stepped on brake pedal to shift out of park and pedal went to the floor.no prior indication of a problem.looked at master cylinder fluid level and completely empty. No brakes at all, front or back. Moved truck to ford dealer for repair. Dealer did not have parts and had to special order them.
I have a 2013 f150 that the brakes went out on. Mechanic diagnosing it says master cylinder is leaking into the brake booster. There is a safety recall for 2013-2014 f150's but mine is not included on this recall...why?i was driving when i went to stop at a stop sign and the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I was lucky there wasn't a vehicle in front of me or i would have hit them. I was in a neighborhood.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that when the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes failed to respond. The failure occurred intermittency. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.
2013 ford f-150 recalled by ford in 2016 under recall 16v345000. Vehicle had the defective hitachi master cylinder replaced in may of 2017 by jenkins ford in fort meade florida at no charge. On july 30th 2020 while traveling on an interstate depressed brake pedal, travelled to the floor with minimal braking and brake fluid low level light came on with warning chime. Remained in control to stop vehicle with no accident. Vehicle towed to bartow ford, diagnosed as faulty master cylinder seal allowing complete bypass of brake fluid into the vacuum booster. Ford refused to pay for this repair $1282 claiming they had fixed this problem in 2017. Upon investigation confirmed that the defective hitachi master cylinder was replaced with another identical defective hitachi master cylinder. It makes no sense to try to correct a defect with the identical defective part when the braking of a 6000 pound vehicle is at stake!i just saw another recall just out for 2015 thru 2018 f150 with the same poorly designed single seal master cylinder.how many other complaints have there been for the replacement master cylinder also failing?
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.
Low brake fluid alert came on, but no visible leaks. Fluid continues to slowly leak.
"takata recall" my ford f150 truck 2013 was purchased in 2014 brand new. In 2017 january i had the sparks plugs changed and now again in april 2017 my mechanic has said that the sparks plug needs to be changed. I believe and gathering from what my mechanics is saying there is a problem with the coil? which is why the sparks plug in black for the second time. This all started from a problem with the brakes the tried flushing the breaks and same thing than they looked into the engine and changed the sparks plug (jan) now in april same issue. Need help this is costing me money.
I just received a recall notice regarding the brakes failing to stop the vehicle due to a defect in the master cylinder.when i call the ford dealer where i purchased the truck, i was advised that they don't have "fix" for the problem yet, but may have that by the end of the year.this vehicle is unsafe and yet ford has no repair for it?how about they pay me back and i buy a chevy?i don't operate the vehicle because of the brake recall.
As i came back from dropping of the kids at school, 06 june, i was driving into the house complex when the breaks failed. The truck would not stop. I used the emergency break to slow down the vehicle. Once i stopped i then proceeded to drive the vehicle to my drive way using the emergency break. I was lucky it was not busy. I contact ford to see about the problem. Was told the recall was not going to come out till july. Ford got me in contact with the nearest dealership, viva ford, to make arrangements to pick up the truck on 07 june. The problem is the fluid leaks into the master cylinder. I was told by the dealership that ford does not cover rentals. That the dealership will try to help me with a loaner. Now i'm stuck with no vehicle, missed a day of work and still have to wait if a loaner vehicle comes available.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 40 mph, the contact stated that the low brake fluid light illuminated on the instrument panel. While attempting to engage the brakes, the brake pedal sank to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
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.
Truck is hesitant to pull off as if brakes are stuck, idles high, jerks violently and seems as if it's losing power. I've been dealing with this issue for some time now and liberty ford maple has been 0 help resolving this issue. I've been hit from behind 2 times as well as multiple other close accidents due to this issue. I refuse to drive the freeway out of fear of a accident , which really affects my work. It's almost like i don't have a vehicle as i've been using family vehicles or renting.
On 24 dec 2013 at 2:15 pm i had to brake hard trying to avoid a car coming across my path in a parking lot (there was a resulting accident with no injuries, but damage to the other vehicles front fender). I wasn't moving very fast less than (10mph) and instead of just grabbing the brakes the truck shuddered violently before the brakes actually grabbed. I've noticed this on several other occasions. I'm not sure if this is expected behavior with the anti-lock brakes, but i'm convinced i could have manually stopped the truck faster.
Truck was parked several hours in son-in-laws driveway. Wife got in truck, after cranking and placing in reverse, no brakes! backed into son-in laws vehicle damaging it and damaging f 150. F 150 still under warranty, taken to mullinax ford mobile al. Found mastercylinder defect , failed gasket caused brake booster to fail. Master cylinder replaced by mullinax ford, mobile al.
Had total brake failure while driving (50mph)on the roadway.used the emergency brake (left foot on the pedal, left hand on the handle) to manipulate the vehicle brakes to get home (at 25-30mph) without incident.
Truck vibrates badly when applying brakes.feel a pulse in the brake pedal.
On july 7 2013 i experienced a complete brake failure while driving on a major state route.i was able to get my vehicle to the dealership for repairs.they explained that the repair was not under warranty.upon further investigation i discovered that there was a recall for the exact problem that my vehicle experienced.when i called this to the dealers attention, the said my vehicle was not part of this recall.this vehicle has less than 50,000 miles and could have been involved in a serious accident had i not known how to control a vehicle with no brakes.i'd like a refund in full of $572.48 that the dealer charged me for the repair.
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 vehicle, working brakes are not negotiable.
Driving on highway, low brake fluid light came on, got off at closest exit, brakes went to floor had to use emergency brake to stop. No fluid in master cylinder, no sign of leaks,walked to walmart bought fluid, filled with fluid, drove home, light came on again, pulled into garage hit wall when brakes went to floor,. Contacted local ford dealer and ford customer assistance and was told my truck was not part of the recall, 16v345000. My truck build date is 7/2013, action covers build date starting 8/2013. Everything else is same, 3.5 ecoboost, built in dearborn. 42,384 miles just out of 3/36 bomber to bumper warranty. 5/50 is in effect but does not cover brakes.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the master cylinder rear cup seal fractured and brake fluid leaked into the brake booster. The failure occurred on a consistent basis. The brake light illuminated until brake fluid was added. The failure occurred on july 10 2017. An independent mechanic stated that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. The failure was identical to the failure listed in nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer advised him to contact the nhtsa hotline. The failure mileage was 57,193.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the brakes failed and there was no pedal movement at all. The contact had to shift the vehicle into manual in order to slow down. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, but the diagnosis was unknown. The failure mileage was 96,000.
After pulling into parking lot, and at low speed, i began to press my brake pedal down to come to a stop. I wasn't stopping and had to use all of my weight on the pedal to stop. Once stopped, i had a notification popup that read "check brake systems", followed by my parking light being illuminated. I turned my truck off and back on, and this time, pushing the brake pedal felt like i was trying to push a brick down. 10 seconds later i got the "check brake system" notification, in addition to the check engine light being illuminated. Had i been on an actual street when this happened, this could have ended very badly.
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 brakefailure 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
Brake rotors warping prior to 18,000 miles; engine cooler fan runs in high speed during summer months, all the time.
While driving on freeway a "low brake fluid" warning light came on the dash. I tested brakes and they felt ok at that point. After driving several more miles the brake pedal took more pressure to slow down the vehicle and by the time i stopped the brake pedal went to the floor. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was empty. I found no brake fluid leaking under the vehicle. I filled the reservoir with new brake fluid and after driving 5 miles the brake warning light came on again. I stopped and checked the reservoir and it was empty again. After filling the reservoir again i took the vehicle into a ford dealer. They told me the master cylinder had failed and leaked the brake fluid into the brake booster unit and caused it to fail as well. The service adviser said they had 3 other f-150 trucks come in with this same issue. The fix is to replace the master cylinder and the brake booster unit with new parts. He claims the new parts have been re-engineered to fix the issue.i checked the internet for this problem and found many others have had the same issue with at least 2011, 2012, 2013 ford f-150 trucks, some never received the "low brake fluid" light before the brakes failed. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue as the brakes become unusable when this occurs. I tow a large trailer on some steep grades and this could be a disastrous issue as you can imagine.i believe this should definitely trigger an immediate recall to fix this very dangerous issue.
Ford brake recall # 16v345i want to report that the day after i received your warning notice, my brake's failed. I was lucky that it happened while i was backing out of a parking space at 2 mph and not on i-95 in heavy traffic doing 65 mph and towing a camper. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership, and they told me that they did not have a recall notice on my vehicle yet. However, because they had just done a complete brake overhaul on it in march, they only charged me a $ 100.00 deductible. They did say that if i received a recall notice from ford, i could ask for a refund of the deductible. I have attached the invoices from both transactions. I would like to hear more from you regarding this and any more recalls on my vehicle
Went to leave parking lot and low brake fluid warning light appeared.no brake fluid in master cylinder..repair was replace master cylinder and booster .fluid drained from master cylinder into booster.this is a recall on 2013 f150 with 3.5 engine but not on the 5.0!!!!!
I was driving down the road and the low brake fluid light came on.then as i tried to slow down i had no brakes.managed to coast over to side of road and come to a stop.had it towed to ford dealership.they said master cylinder was leaking into brake booster.had to replace brake master cylinder and bleed system.
Extremely hard brake pedal, vehicle will not stop easily in normal braking conditions, if pedal is pumped repeatedly red brake light and check brake system warning appear. If key is cycled on then off warnings go away but brake pedal feels the same. After extensive research i found vacuum pump (non electric) leaking oil. I replaced it and the same issues still happen. I've found 2 recalls that don't apply to my truck. One recall states the master cylinder seal is leaking which causes the brake pedal to go to the to floor. The other is a stiff pedal but that one was for an electric vacuum pump issue. Please help before ford kills me. Also. I asked my local dealership (bell ford) for tsbs regarding this and was denied the information. This should be classified as a safety recall that never ever expires!!!!!!!!!
We have had 3 wrecks in this truck from rear ending people because the truck would not stop or the peadalwould go to the floor i still own this truck because i still owe a lot of money on it. I cant afford to get rid of it. So i just hardly ever drive it unless i have to it normally stops except those three times it hasn't i don't know what it could be the mechanics that fixed it back after it was wrecked said everything was okay. All three times we were accelerating and had to stop abruptly. My wife wrecked it once and i twice. The second time i wrecked it was not 24 hours after i got it back from the body shop after my wife wrecked it. Something has to be wrong but it works most of the time.
Leaking master cylinder and power booster. Dealer says it's not on recall.
Complete loss of brakes. Had truck towed to ford dealership. They diagnosed defective master cylinder and brake booster.was told by dealership that the parts are on nation wide back order.this indicates there is a serious problem and this is not an isolated incident.i am being required to pay because vehicle is no longer under warranty. Brakes should never completely fail. This could have had catastrophic results.if ford does not recognize this issue and take responsibility soon and fix it, someone will be killed.
I was driving about 55 mph and my red break light came on. I then tapped my breaks and realized my pedal was nearly fully compressed and extremely firm to press. I was forced to mash the breaks to get the vehicle to slow down at all. I pulled over and sat for a while, off and on pressing the brake pedal. About 15 minutes later i started my truck and the issue went away. I drove another 15 minutes home with no issue.the very next day i was driving down a bridge the exact same issue occurred, once again being forced to smash the break and nearly causing a wreck. I repeated the same steps and the problem went away after a few minutes.
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 issuedthe run around between dealerships and he said shesaid. I guess someone has to be killed before there isa recall this is absurd.
Driver side brake pads were installed backwards causing incorrect wear
Received low brake fluid warning and then catastrophic sudden brake loss to the vehicle.i used the emergency brake to slow and stop the vehicle . Master cylinder seal has failed and filled brake booster with brake fluid.vehicle was in very light traffic when failure occurred.i have made repairs with new oem motorcraft parts to restore brakes.vehicle mileage is 72k miles. 6.2 v8 2wd. I have receipts of my repairs.
The brakes were scrubbing. Didn't have any brakes. Took it to the dealership they replaced the master cylinder but told us it was not in a recall. The same problem existed with this truck as with the trucks that were recalled. Why wasn't m y truck included in the recall? this happened while i was driving on the highway.
After driving vehicle for 15 miles in highway and local traffic (temperature 50; light rain), i pressed brake pedal to slow for lh turn. Pedal was very firm and difficult to press. Brakes did not seem to function, yet abs "chattered" as i pressed harder... And the truck slowed. There were no malfunction indicators on the dash.when turn was complete, i pressed brake pedal again to test the brakes... Same result, but now brake fault indicators illuminated on the dash. I pulled over, stopped the truck, turned it off, and restarted. Malfunction lights came on and brakes felt the same. I called dealer for advice, left truck running with my foot on the brake pedal. Conversation with dealer lasted about 7 minutes. As i hung up the phone, the brake pedal suddenly "softened" and felt normal. Operating the brakes confirmed normal function. I turned off the truck and restarted. Malfunction lights did not come on and the brakes operated normally on my drive to the dealer... About 7 miles in local traffic.
I was driving my 2013 ford f-150 down the highway at highway speed when i got an audible and visual warning on my dashboard telling me that my brake fluid was low. I cleared the message and noticed that a smaller red "brake indicator" light remained lit in the instrument panel. I tapped the brakes to make sure they were working. They were working. I immediately slowed down and proceeded rather cautiously exiting the highway in route to my local ford dealership, which was not more than 1 mile from the end of the exit ramp. As i proceeded to the dealership i tested the brakes multiple times. Once i arrived at the dealership i parked the f-150 in a parkign spot. After checking in, the technician asked me to pull my truck into the service bay so that he could have alook at it. When i returned to the f-150 i cautiously backed out of the parking spot. As i began to brake so that i could shift the f-150 into drive, the brakes failed. The brake pedal went completely to the floor and there were no brakes. I quickly applied the emergency brake and avoided, by just inches, craching into the vehicles behind me. I put the vehicle in park and asked my teenage son to get the technician. The technician parked the f-150 back in a parking spot and i left it there for repairs.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. When the brake pedal was applied, it failed to engage and disengage without warning. The contact had to apply extreme force to the brake pedal to ensure that the vehicle made a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and repair, but the failure recurred. The brake pedal was hard to depress and slow to respond when applied. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The parts were not available within a reasonable time frame. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I was leaving work, as i drove off onto the street in odessa, texas the vehicle seemed normal for 10 mins.all of sudden the first brake i took the brake light came on at a stop sign.i pulled over because my brake pedal slid all the way down to the floor, as a result of this my vehicle was unable to stop. I got off the truck and checked the break fluid reservoir and it was empty.i drove my vehicle to the closest convenient store topurchase brake fluid.i bought two containers and poured into the reservoir and as i drove off, the vehicle seemed to be working for a little while and the light came on again.i drove to the closest mechanic shop; i spoke the mechanic and explained to him what the problem was.he checked for leaks and did not find any he then made a thorough check into the brake booster.he found that the fluid was entering the brake booster. Not a good sign he stated. Upon arrival to my residence, i looked up ford motor recalls and i learned thatthese 2013-2014 ford f150 vehicles had recalls to replace brake master cylinders due to brake fluid leaking from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster. The ford motor company recall was issued back in may 25, 2016.however, i have yet toreceive a notice.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle bucked when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact had to slam on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to ace ford (487 mantua pike, woodbury, nj 08096, 856-845-6600) and they tested the brakes, but found no failure. The dealer offered to replace the brakes and rotors. The contact agreed and the repairs were completed; however, the contact was unsure that the vehicle was safe to drive. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000.
Brake failure due to master cylinder leakage into brake booster
2013 f150 v8 with 28000 miles has faulty front brakes. The outside pads appear to be working properly while the inside pads are not. The inside of the rotors are gouged and rusty while the outsides are in perfect shape. I see many other complaints about this same issue. The brakes have been grinding off and on since 15000 mile with normal use, and no off-road use.
On january 13, 2015 i was involved in a head collision with a 18 wheeler. The scenario was a two lane highway (hwy 67, lakeside , ca), there is minimal room for error and upon impact. I remember my brakes depressing completely to the floor board , yet as though there was no air lines. It has been a long recovery, which is why certain things are returning slowly. Yet, i remember that my brakes felt off or un-responsive before impact.
Brake fluid leaking into the brake booster, audible chime, message center alert, brake warning on the instrument panel. This happened when we were backing out of the driveway and pulling into a parking spot.
Lwith out warning brake pedal went to the floor, lost all braking approaching an iintersection. Was able to turn corner & make it to my driveway with out any brakes.
Brake pads are severely deteriorating early in their lifespan. Front brake pads and rotors had to be replaced at 25,841 miles. Dealer said it was a caliber hanging up. Happened again at 39,425 miles. Rotor was gouged again on opposite side . Dealer stated caliper and rotors were not defective. Possible defective brake pads. Same failure on my wifes 2013 ford fusion se.
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?
I was driving on a highway at 55 miles/h pulling a trailer with a light load. The truck suddenly went from normal engine sound to a louder and louder sound and it slowed down as if i was been dragged backward. The engine sound felt like the truck had down shifted from a higher to a lower gear and was braking on its own while i was trying to compensate by giving more gas so that i could pullover safely. Within a minute the truck stopped still, there was smoke and fire that spread rapidly through the cabine and engine. We nearly escaped. I was unable to completely clear the trailer off the road as the truck had completely stopped. The truck burned completely. Before reporting this incident i called ford, provided my vin number and asked whether there had been any recent recalls on my f150. Ford confirmed that a recall (# 19s07) that impacted my vin was issued in feb, 2019. However, i do not remember receiving any notification from my ford dealership.
While decelerating to make a turn, the brake pedal started chattering and braking effectiveness decreased to almost zero.the vehicle ultimately stopped beyond the turn.this was on a paved dry surface with normal braking pressure.it now has happened at least twice.
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.
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.
From the ford recall notice 16s24 "brake function in the rear wheels is unaffected by this condition".wrong!i experienced the low brake fluid warning message and the master cylinder reservoir is also the source for the rear brakes.in my case, i had complete brake failure, pedal to the floorboard.backing out of the garage to take the truck to the dealer, it would not stop at engine idle speed and broke the rear view mirror on the garage door opening.i am having the truck towed to the dealer.hate to think of what would have happened had i gotten on the road.the recall notice downplays the severity of the condition and this is unacceptable.i checked yes on the crash question because of the collision with the garage door opening.
We have taken this vehicle in three times for squeeling brakes and it still makes a high pitched noise when i stop.
On june 3, 2020, my son and i were in my 2013 ford f-150 driving west on i-94.my son was driving. An alarm sounded then a message appeared on the dashboard about an issue with the brakes. I don't recall the wording.we had driven about 25 miles from home with approximately 35 miles to our destination.we continued on and i got out and my son remained in the truck for about an hour. He then got out and looked under the truck and there was no liquid under the truck.i returned to the truck and we headed home on i-696 then i-94 with no issues.the brake message on the dashboard was lit.when we exited i-94 at the marysville, michigan exit we had a complete and total brake failure.no brakes!my son stepped on the emergency brake forcefully and was able to slow the truck down enough to make the turn off the exit ramp and on to gratiot road.he ran through the stop sigh there in making the right turn on to gratiot road but thankfully no traffic was right there at the same time. We drove the additional half mile or so to our house and parked the truck. We checked the brake fluid level and it was empty.we then drove my son's car to auto zone and bought a quart of brake fluid and poured it in to the f-150.after a couple hours we checked the brake fluid level and it was empty.there was not a drop of fluid on the cement driveway under the truck!we called marysville tire and auto, inc. And drove the truck the less than half mile to their location.they put in a new master cylinder at a cost of $519.04.i called ford motor owner relations and made a report (case #26860820) on june 19, 2020.research shows me that other f-150s have been recalled for replacement of a master cylinder and i want you folks to know of my experience.there has never been any fluid leaks under my truck since i purchased it in 2014.thank you.
I had complete brake failure.master cylinder leaked into the booster.i thought it would be part of the existing recall, but my build date of 10/2012 was not included.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the brake system failure warning indicator illuminated. The contact had to apply the parking brake to slow down and stop the vehicle. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. Frederick motor company (1 waverley dr, frederick, md 21702, (301) 663-6111) was contacted and an appointment was made to have the vehicle diagnosed. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
Yesterday when i got into my truck and started it the low brake fluid light came on and the brake pedal instantly went to the floor leaving the truck with no brakes. I got out and checked the brake fluid reservoir level and it was completely empty but, there was no leaks anywhere, the truck had to be towed to get fixed. I discussed it with joe and upon exploring this further joe came across the attached article and it turns out this sudden total loss of breaks has happened to several other f150 truck and are being investigated.
On 6/5/2016 the low brake fluid warning light came on and the brake fluid reservoir was empty. We were near harold ford in sacramento, ca, so we dropped the truck off for repair. On 6/6/2016, the master cylinder and brake booster were replaced.
Sudden failure of brake master cylinder without warning during normal driving in the city. This brake failure caused me to drive off the road in order to avoid colliding with stopped vehicles. This is the exact issue that is included in recall # 16s24, however this recall does not currently include my vehicle. The brake master cylinder suddenly leaked all fluid into the brake booster as described in recall # 16s24 causing the brakes to stop working completely, even with the pedal completely depressed. I am confident the same defective part/seal/assembly that is included in the recalled vehicles was installed on my truck, causing the same issue when the part failed. Ford has denied helping me with this issue, and i have a bill from downtown ford in sacramento, ca in the amount of $1009.35 for the repairs related to this defective part.
2013 ford raptor super crew 27953 miles. Oil change 2 months ago. Oil life still at 69%. I went with the recommended ford motor company synthetic and ford motor company oil filter. I was on my way home from work about 10 minutes into my drive. I went to take off from a stop light and i got through the intersection and had an immediate reduction in power the truck was stuck at 1,000 rpms and would not do anything but slowly creep forward at 5 miles an hour. I limped to a lighted parking lot about a half block away as my low oil pressure light came on and a wrench icon on the dash. I shut it off and popped open the hood. I check my oil level transmission fluid level power steering level and everything was well above tolerances. I could find no problems and when i got back in the truck and started it, it ran fine all the way home. I just scanned the system and no error codes. The stop light road was at a slight downward angle and i had just below a half tank of 93 octane fuel. K and n air filter in stock holder. No other power train or engine modifications. Loss of power, power steering and decreased braking. It would have been very dangerous had it not been later at night.
The brake master cylinder went out while i was driving and i nearly hit the car in front of me. When i took the truck into the shop, i was told that the master cylinder had a leak and would not consistently hold pressure so it had to be replaced. After doing some research, i found a recall by ford with recall id 16s24 for this exact same problem and when i was told what needed replaced, it was almost word for word what this recall stated. I found this information after i had already gotten the master cylinder replaced so i called ford to speak with their recall department. I was told that this issue was not covered by the recall because my truck was manufactured after the date of what was defined in the recall. It seems to me that a truck built in the same year that had master cylinders affected would be covered by the recall. This repair cost $663.57. Losing brake pressure could have caused serious injury had i been on the highway or needing to come to an abrupt stop.a picture of the repair invoice is attached but a better copy can be provided upon request.
Total brake failure. Started vehicle and went to back up and brake peddle went to the floor, low brake fluid light light came on as soon as the peddle hit the floor. Vehicle was slowly moving backwards and would not stop. Tried pumping the peddle to stop the truck. Used parking brake to stop vehicle to avoid backing into other cars behind. Checked brake fluid level and found it was almost out, less than a 1/4 inch in the reservoir. Checked entire vehicle and no leaks could be found called crossroads ford in cary, nc and they indicated i should fill it with dot3 fluid and bring it in. Filled reservoir to max line and pumped braked a few times until they were firm. Drove to the dealership, about 25 miles. No issues getting to the dealership other than the brakes were quite spongy and not too responsive. Upon inspection at the dealership, they removed the master cylinder and found the fluid had filled the brake booster and the master cylinder had failed.. This seems to be a very serious problem,i'm very lucky i wasn't killed or killed someone in an accident. Vehicle was just a little over 500 out of warranty.
Takata recallmaster cylinder leaking by low brake fuild lights goes on find no visible leaks. Found recall of this problem but no active recall on my vin number. Not sure if it was fixed but is now a problem and i would like to get it fixed before i end up in an accident with my children in car. Primary vehicle so drive it a lot. Thanks
Brake peddle goes almost to the floor when trying to stop.you have to give extra time and pump the brakes to stop.i had the brake pads replaced and the issue got worse and the mechanic stated there was an issue with the master cylinder.this should not be an issue at 48,000 miles.
My son was driving to school, normal speed, pressed the brakes to stop at a stop light.he pushed the brake to the floor and the truck had no brakes, did not stop and slid in to the person ahead of him.luckily, no one was hurt, but his vehicle sustained over $3000 in damages.the person ahead of him had no damages.even now, the brakes are very light and you have to press down super hard.i am very nervous about him or anyone driving this vehicle.the dealer will do nothing about it. We purchased this vehicle in december of 2015.
My low brake fluid light came on this morning and my brakes were completely out when i started my truck.no sign of leaking.filled brake fluid went to work came out to get lunch and brake fluid gone and light on again.no sign of leak. 2013 f150 limited with the 3.5l v6 engine.could have been a very serious incident as i live on very busy roads. This is extremely concerning, i have 2 toddlers i drive and pick up from school everyday.
Backed up to boat trailer. Attached trailer to f-150 platinum. Brake pedal went to the floor. Checked brake fluid level and there was no fluid. Added (3) 6 oz. Bottles. No external leaks found anywhere. Bled brake lines to get vehicle home. Dealer found that the master cylinder seal blew and all the brake fluid went into the booster. Booster on back order for 5 days. I am having to pay to have booster replaced, seal, and abs system flush. This was very dangerous for me as i was towing my 17ft boat up a mountain @ 7% grade for 17 miles. I have read the recorded complaints for this same issue and it appears to have happened to many people over the last 2 years. Ford please fix this.
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 deteriorationof brakes for number of miles driven.
My master cylinder leaked and cause my breaks to lock up ,that's what my repair shop said
I had abrake failure on 01/06/2020. I had it towed to a garage and they replaced the brake booster.in the shortly after it happened again. Both times it only occurred at low speeds on city streets.i contacted a dealership after seeing there was a recall for the same issue on my year of truck. They advised my truck wasn't covered.i'm afraid to drive it.
Got into my truck this morning and brake pedal went to the floor and in the display it showed low brake fluid. I filled up the reservoir and pumped brakes and they were good so i drove down the road about 15 miles and pedal went to the floor again and the display said low brake fluid. Got vehicle back to house and filled it back up with brake fluid and pumped brakes and no leaks but still losing fluid.checked online and found ford had a recall of the brake reservoir leaking fluid into the booster but it was for august 2013 and my truck was made in june of 2013 so i didn't get a recall. Dealership confirmed this is what's happening to my truck. Fordneeds to take a look at this and include more vehicles in this recall before someone gets killed because their brakes fail.
Driving home from a camping trip with my son, i applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor at the same time the "low brake fluid" warning light came on.my truck did not stop, to prevent an accident, i had to slow my truck using my parking brake, an extremely dangerous procedure.i attempted to pump the brake pedal to possibly get more pressure in the brake lines, but that did not work.the vehicle became un-driveable and had to be towed.i examined the brake fluid reservoir and saw there was no fluid.the following day, i had my truck towed to the dealer and the following day after the service tech examined it, he said the brake fluid had leaked from the master cylinder to the brake booster.the dealer replaced the master cylinder and brake booster. Luckily, i was not going at highway speeds when this brake failure occurred or my son and i could havebeen seriously injured.
While driving interstate, 65 mph, towing travel trailer (6500 lbs). Clear weather day, 72 degrees. Brake light warning light illuminated. When trying to exit interstate to investigate issue, experienced complete brake failure, both front and rear. Fortunately, i was able to use trailer electronic brakes to stop my vehicle. Upon inspection, i found no loss of brake fluid. No visible explanation for total brake failure.
Failure of master cylinder with no warning. Only indication was a message indicating low fluid level and brake light on dash illuminating. Some breaking ability was retained but was dimished.issue occurred while one a lightly trafficed local road. Refilling of fluid only resulted in same loss of fluid and warning lights reoccurring a few moments later. Diagnosed as failed master cylinder and fluid accumulation in brake booster also necessitated its replacement, with both replaced under warranty.this is a my13 3.5 l ecoboost model with a july 17 2013 build date, and 59500 miles.this is just 2 weeks outside of effected vehicles previously recalled for this exact issue.
Driving in a neighborhood down a steep hill and brakes failed and pedal went all the way to the floor.almost crashed into a house. Had to slam on emergency brake and slam gears into a downshift mode . Came to a stop at the yard. The shop said the lines broke at the caliper in the rubber lines and fluid was all over the under carriage.
On 4/16/2016 i was involved in a collision. After investigating the cause, it was found that the master cylinder was low with no visible leaks. Witness stated that they saw my brake lights come on but my vehicle didn't slow down. I contacted ford about this and they had the "we don't care" attitude.my truck is still under warranty,and has had 99% of all maintenance done through ford.
While backing out of a parking spot, i applied the service brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor.the truck continued in reverse, striking a concrete wall.i secured the vehicle and inspected the damage. Under the hood, i looked at the brake fluid reservoir.there was a very small amount of fluid in the bottom of the reservoir. I looked back at the dashboard to see if the brake light was illuminated, it was not. I had the truck towed to the dealership where i purchased (new) it two years prior,gosch ford in hemet, ca.the service technician said the brake master cylinder and brake booster were bad and that the fluid had leaked back into the booster.since the truck was out of warranty, the estimate for repair would be $800. The truck has 36,443 miles (443 miles over the basic warranty for brakes). As a small business owner, the truck is used to tow my equipment trailer necessary for work.without the truck, i dont work and my business suffers. The dealership refused to submit this to ford for warranty work stating ford is very firm on this issue; even one mile over 36,000 would be refused. I approved the repairs since i need this vehicle for my livelihood.an hour later, the service department called saying there is a nationwide backorder on the master cylinder and brake booster (go figure), and the parts wouldnt be available for 5 weeks! so, my truck (the truck i purchased new to ensure dependability, safety and reliability) sits at the dealership waiting for the replacement parts for an apparent common brake failure problem.since they are replacing the defective parts with new (hopefully not defective) parts, i will cringe each time i step on the brake pedal.an internet check of this problem revealed others with the exact same situation.why is there no recall? this is a huge brake failure issue.
Problem with master cylinder power booster pump, vehicle fails to stop while moving at short distance and low speed 15 miles or less highwy and city.vehicle stops while moving at long distance and high speed 15 miles or more highway and city.brake pedals vibrate and go to bottom at low speeds 15 miles or less highway and city.
Eco boost brake recall.lost all braking with no warning on freeway.no accident or injury.

Unable to add 27 complaints due to 1900 character limit more reports available at:fromwww.carproblemzoo.com/ford/f-150/2013/brake-fluid-leak-problems.phpfailure date: 05/27/2019the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The mechanic stated that the brake fluid leaked into the master cylinder. The contact called an unknown dealer, but they were not able to assist. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 42,000.
Complete brake failure.i had to replace rotors, pads and add brake fluid yesterday to my 2013 f-150 with the 3.5 liter turbo boost.i have the receipts!i was told that the fluid was extremely low, pads were cracked and the rotors were wrapped. I spent over $700.00 and i have less than 54, 000 miles on this truck.worst brakes i have ever had, now the brakes are spongy and the tech. Has no clue why; brakes were bleed twice but still same issue.
Started vehicle at my work location, brake light came on, checked brake fluid resevior found it low. Filled with brake fuid, drove to dealer with less that 100% braking power. Dealer replaced brake master cylinder and booster. Dealer work ticket attached.
The front end started vibrating, no warning lights came on. I drove another 2 miles straight to the advantage ford in stuart fl. They informed me that the entire brake system was broken, my words not theirs.
The brakes went out on my 2013 f-150, the master cylinder leaked brake fluid into the brake booster. 'i was driving and went to stop at a stop sign and the brake pedal went straight to the floor i was lucky there wasn't a vehicle in front of me or i would have hit it. 'i pulled into gas station and got dot 4 brake fluid and filled up the reservoir, the indicator light showed 98% full.'i drove couple blocks home and went to stop and the brake pedal went straight to the floor again (i was lucky i did not go thru the garage).
While operating the vehicle, driver experienced complete loss of brake pressure. Brake pedal extended to the floor and offered no stopping power. E-brake was utilized to bring the vehicle to a full stop. Vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Tow to a ford dealer was not possible based on location and distance. Independent mechanic diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the main cylinder causing fluid to leak into the brake booster. This problem has already been addressed in ford recall notice # 16v345000. This is a known problem with this model year. However, the specific vin is not included in the recall despite the same parts and components identified in the recall. The incident occurred in a location far from owner's area of residence during off-hours. Additionally, owner was stranded far from area of residence with members of a youth group. Owner has incurred significant costs associated with towing, repairs, and alternative transportation for multiple persons. Circumstances at the time allowed for a safe stop of the vehicle. Had the failure occurred a few minutes earlier or later, the potential for catastrophic injury or death was high.
While driving down the interstate with my wife and two young boys heading to baseball practice, i lost all brake pressure and had a difficult time bringing the car to a halt.after several days in the shop, the service manager informed me the master cylinder lost all its fluid which caused the problem.the vehicle was ~16 months old and had ~37,000 miles (just barely out of warranty).the dealership was able to fix it after several days and only charged $100 as it was close to being in warranty and seemed like a highly unusual event.i didn't think much of it other than a one off fluke but saw an article this morning that others had the same issue.i have had no other issues since the resolution but obviously concerned it could happen again without warning if its a systemic problem with the braking system.
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.
I was driving my vehicle going towards charlotte's saddlery, which luckily was close to the ford dealership.i was within a mile or two when this happened.all of a sudden the brake fluid light came on and then i heard a bang and smoke came out of the right side of the front of the car and i lost brakes.i could no longer brake but fortunately was not on a highway so i just drove the mile to the dealership very slowly keeping a big distance from any cars.
Front brake assembly engaged and did not fully release causing the pad and caliper to eventually grind thru to metal destroying the entire assembly.had to have entire assembly replaced and tech stated it was a known issue.
My brakes keep locking up while driving and getting hot i have to through water on it to cool them off the keep driving it's happened before but seems to be getting worse. I have a small video of them smoking it won't me upload it didn't think to take pics it got so hot it warped the rim
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph downhill and towing a fifth wheel trailer with a 7,025 pound haul, the brakes became unresponsive. The vehicle was rated at a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds or less. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who stated that the brakes failed because the v6 engine did not provide enough compression for the vehicle to carry the load. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 1,400.
Vehicle was pulling a light-weight trailer when all of a sudden the brakes would not work. We glided over to the edge of the highway and drifted until we were able to slow. The brakes would work slightly when pressed extremely hard. The brake failure lights appeared. We have a 2013 f150 with the exact problems as the recalled trucks--but, our vin/truck is not included.
Bought truck with 45000 miles. Drove 7000 miles. Took it to dealership for oil change and they tell me front left caliper has locked up.need to replace caliper and brake pads.took truck to another place for second opinion.they figured out caliper pins not lubricated and that is why it was locking up.had to replace rotors and brake pads.during test, master cylinder failed.have to replace.dealership refused to take any responsibility and fix problem. There is a recall for 2013 ford f150's master cylinder.
Brake rotors are warping quickly; twice with only 25,000 miles. Dealer has turned rotors twice, but not willing to replace rotors.
I bought a new f-150 in 2013. The front brakes began pulsating when applied at 50+ mph. The dealership turned the rotors, charging @ $500. About 6 months later with less than 10,000 additional miles, same problem. Dealer said this is normal and brakes would have to be repaired about every 10,000 miles. Research shows this problem to be pervasive with the f-150 because of inferior material used in the rotors.
Rapid loss of brake fluid while driving resulting in brake failure. Warning light came on. Adding new fluid resulted in immediate loss of flid.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the abs, brake and traction control warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that a sensor needed to be replaced in order to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Upon leaving my driveway which is on a hill i went to apply my brakes and had no response, caused me to go off the curb. My brake pedal was hard to operate i went on line and did some research found out about recall.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle hesitated to stop when the brake pedal was depressed and the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for diagnostic testing where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated and the brake pedal became very stiff. The contact started pumping the brake pedal until the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was driven to kalispell ford in kalispell, montana where it was diagnosed that the engine vacuum pump failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000. Right after repair contact drove home and brakes went out again. Vehicle was turned off and started again in which brakes came back into full use. Dealership was notified and kept vehicle for a week in which the failure was reproduced. Ford does not want to pay for repairs.
Total brake system failure as i was driving on residential streets.without warning, within one block vehicle went from having fully functional brakes to total brake loss.previous to failure, vehicle exhibited no handling issues, sounds, or symptoms to indicate that there was a problem.the vehicle was traveling approximately 25 mph when i touched the brakes.without warning a loud, high pitched sound started coming from the front drivers side of the vehicle.the sound lasted about 5 seconds.when the sound ended, the brakes did not function and when i pressed the brake pedal it went straight to the floor without resistance.all regularly scheduled and recommended maintenance had been preformed.as a result of brake failure, vehicle sustained damage to passenger side.the vehicle was towed to the dealership.avis ford dealership preformed the repairs.i asked the dealership if they were aware of any similar issues having been reported and they said that they were unaware of such similar reports.
Vehicle had been parked for less than one hour. Returned and started vehicle. Depressed brake pedal to shift and pedal went to the floor and the low fluid light illuminated. No braking action. Stopped vehicle and checked brake fluid level. Reservoir had less than one quarter inch of fluid. Checked under and around vehicle and found no evidence of fluid leak. Added 24 oz. Of fluid to reservoir. Brakes still very mushy with very little braking action. Drove 11 miles very slowly and parked vehicle in driveway. Resevoir again almost empty with no visible leaks. Vehicle towed to dealership. Dealership said they had not heard of this problem before. Appears the master cylinder and booster are both bad. Truck had just rolled over 13,000 mi. When problem occurred. I have read at least 15 similar reports on this problem going back as far as 2011 f-150 vehicles. This is a potentially deadly problem.
The right front break keeps over heating even after repeated replacement of calipers rotors and pads. The system locked up and caused heat damage to the flexible lineconnecting the metal line to caliper and all break components. This ocurred less than 5000 miles after complete break replacement on all tires. The mechanic stated that the driver front still had 99% of its pad. After replacing all components it did it again in less than 100 miles. The shop replaced the caliper and pads saying that it must have been a bad caliper but new one already to hot to touch after only 50 miles. Their \must be a pressure problem as the driver side is cool to the touch and passenger side you can feel the heat at hood level. The truck was made 2-13 dearborn plant. I have noticed a excessive wear on this side of the vehicle since i have owner it. Bought it new. Problem occurred on the highway
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.updated 10/13/16*lj
In normal city street, with my family, it's suddenly happened with no any speed maybe below the 40km,
Brake reservoir warning light is on - reservoir 1/2 empty. No signs of leaking wiper stays on even if it's off. Instrumental dash dims in and out . Fuel gage reset b does not reset.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle started to make a jerking motion. The contact released the brake pedal and reapplied the brake several times, but the vehicle hesitated to stop. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic turned the rotors but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where the rotors were replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to a dealer. The mechanic stated that the brake pads fractured. The rotors were turned and the brake pads were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
There is an un-normal vibration when applying brakes. I think the rotors are bad.
Brakes when in reverse or forward at idle do not work properly and take extreme pressure to operate if they operate. This causes a loss of braking and being unable to stop vehicle. This happens anywhere i am at idle. Parking lots, parking spaces, or road at stop signs. The brake pedal does not want to depress regardless of how much pressure i apply. It is mainly intermittent but will happen nearly each time if you depress the brake pedal multiple time in short succession.
Brake master cylinder failed resulting in total loss of braking. The vehicle has a 5.0l v8 engine. I was approaching a left turn and applied pressure to my brake pedal and lost braking at that point. Very low mileage on the vehicle when it failed, 14,813.
My 2013 f150 was parked under my carport and i got in it to move it and hook up a small trailer. The warning light came on saying low brake fluid. I had a bottle and filled it. Got back in and moved 20 feet and had no brake pedal at all and the warning was on again. I checked and it is empty again. I saw online that this was a problem with many 2013 f150 trucks. And that there was a recall on this. Called the service dept. And was told that my truck was not covered by the recall !! i see no leaks so it must be the brake master cylinder and or booster !! but now i am not able to drive it to get repaired and have limited income being disabled !! so my complaint is if others of this same year and model f150 were in a recall for the exact same problem, then why is my f150 not covered in the recall. If i had been driving this truck when the brakes completely failed i could have easily been killed or have killed someone else !!! why did i get screwed and not covered by the recall ???
My truck has a 5.0 motor but is experiencing the exact same thing as this recall that only affects trucks with a 3.5 motor. I have to refill the reservoir about once a month whether i am driving it or not. Nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000manufacturer ford motor companycomponents service brakes, hydraulicpotential number of units affected 225,012summaryford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 f-150 vehicles manufactured august 1, 2013, to august 31, 2014 equipped with 3.5l engines. The master cylinder rear cup seal may roll, resulting in brake fluid leakage from the primary reservoir into the brake booster.
Was towing a smaller pick up on a car carrier approaching a stop light aprox 30 feet in front of me at about 40 mph . A car in the lane to my right pulled into my lane & i applied my breaks a bit harder now that i have less room to stop.my truck did not slow down any,i pushed the break peddle to the floor & still wasn't slowing down. I pushed the emergency brake to the floor yet still collided with the car in front of me,causing serious damage to both vehicles.after my truck was repaired i picked it up at 6pm one evening & the next morning called back saying something was seriously wrong with my truck. It was randomly slowing down & speeding up out of my control & hearing a odd noise from the engine area.4 hours later i slammed into another car because it would not slow down & stop.
Started 2 weeks ago it was a cold 20 degree morning and my brake light / parking brake light was on. A little later it was off and thought it must be a switch. Short while later it was on and off and on over and over. I checked the brake fluid and found it to be between the max and min levels. I have put more in since then.the trucks braking for the most part seems ok but have noticed at times in town the pedal does sink slightly lower than normal. Now i have see this problem and it makes since its having symptoms similar to what others are complaining of.it is a 2013 f-150 fx4 3.5 eboost. I hope ford takes this serious i i'll be taking this to the ford dealer here local to me and having it looked at.this problem makes me nervous does ford even offer a updated part that won't break down again if i have my vehicle fixed? noticed if i'm parked on. On a hill facing down the hill the light will go off but flat or any other position light comes off and on also brake fluid is down little bit again.
I woke up in early morning to leave for work.i backed out of my drive way and pushed brake pedal to stop truck and put it in drive, but the truck rolled down an hill and into trees.while pushing the brake pedal it went to the floor like i had no brakes at all.the truck did not stop till it was in the tree.my brake fluid is low which is a sign of the proposed recall which ford is disputing.this is extremely dangerous and ford says they are not aware of the problem although after looking online, it shows they are being investigated due to the issues with the brake booster box and master cylinder malfunctioning.please help us make ford recall these before someone is seriously injured or dies. My truck is also showing brake fluid has been used, its about 1/2 full now.this is a common issue found when the master cylinder problem is in the truck.
Brake fluid leaked from caster cylinder to the brake booster causing a sudden and almost complete loss of braking ability. Almost caused serious accident.
While stopped, with my foot on the brake, in a parking lot waiting for traffic to clear so i could enter the street there was a rather loud pop such as a bloon bursting. The brake peddle became extremely ridged and the vehicle began moving forward. It nearly caused me to crash into the cars ahead of me. I have been a vehicle service technician for near 45 years so i was keenly aware of what had happened. I pushed the brake peddle with both my feet and managed to stop it. I contacted the ford dealership said they couldn't repair my vehicle because of its manufacture date. I removed the defective part and it was just as the recall on the master brake cylinder stated. The problem effects more 2013 vehicles than is covered by the recall. I have attached a photo showing the brake fluid in my failed brake booster as proof.
Whenever at a stop in traffic, the brake pedal drifted to the floor causing loss of breaks resulting in striking the car in front of me. The trucks been at ford to replace multiple pieces of the brake system with absolutely no better result. The master cylinder resovior was found empty twice prior to this problem surfacing.
Brake cylinder failure; took two weeks for repair at ford dealer.
Master brake cylinder failed, allowing brake fluid to enter brake booster, resulting in brake failure.brake warning lamp illuminated, was still able to stop vehicle, but brake pedal went all the way to the floorboard.
I was sitting at a red light with my foot on the brake, when my truck suddenly started rolling forward. I pumped the brake multiple times and the pedal went all the way to the ground with no braking effect. I made contact with the car in front of me.
Bad steering vibration when braking at highway speeds. Took vehicle to dealer and they indicated warped rotors that had to be machined back to proper surface - already!. Vehicle is only a few months old, only approx. 15k miles. Have noticed online that others have had the same issue. This seems like a safety concern with ford using sub-standard brake rotor materials. Additionally, the vehicle would drift to the left - dealer indicated alignment issue, but required $450 additional kit in order to allow for adjustment since it was already at peak of specs (vehicle has never had alignment since it was new, vehicle has never had an incident that would cause misalignment). Vehicle seems unsafe with these issues and now that the rotors are 'thinner' due to the resurfacing, the warping will likely occur more frequently until they (and other brake parts and/or suspension and steering parts) need to be replaced. This can lead to premature brake, component, suspension and steering systems wear and/or failure which should be a major safety concern. Ford would not warranty the alignment issue and extra cost nor replacement rotors but only resurface ('turn') the original rotors.
Without warning brake pedal went to floor absolutely no brakes and low brake fluid light came on. Had to drive into the ditch to keep from hitting another car and used emergency brake to guan lily stop before hitting a tree. There was no warning or anything just absolutely no brakes. Master cykinder was empty put 6 pints of fluid in it. That just disappeared. No leaks any where under the truck. Ford recalled 271000 for this very issue. But mine is not included in recall. We were coming home from football game in heavy traffic at midnight. Had to call wrecker to get us home.
Master cylinder - braking system failed - my truck make/model/year/engine shows recalls everywhere on the internet for this, however, my vin# isn't listed for this and i need to get my replaced asap as my brakes failed due to this issue.
I purchased my truck on january 6th, 2016.i noticed the soft pedal on my test drive, and the dealer said they would be happy to fix the issue at no charge to me, so i made an appointment to have the brakes serviced.they replaced the front pads, and cut the rotors, replaced the rear pads and rotors.my brakes were worse. I explained that the brake pedal travels to the floor.even if you "pump" the brakes, the pedal will still continue to go to the floor.under normal, gradual braking, the is excessive travel before the brakes start to grab.under a "panic stop", the pedal will go right down with poor response.after 3 more trips, they have replaced the master cylinder, abs module, all four pads, rear rotors, and bled the system.no improvement has been achieved, and they have since said they cannot do anything more for me.
The brakes became hard out of nowhere and wouldnt stop while i was driving, at night! i don't know if it's a vacuum issue or what it is. Very dangerous!
Brake lines collapsed twice causing wire brakes and rotors . Service center recommended filing a complaint .
Hauling a full 2 horse trailer. Approaching a red light when i hit my brakes they went all the way to the floor. I had the truck towed to my repair shop. They discovered a slice in the brake line. In all of their years of experience they have never seen this.see attached photo.
On 5/1/15, while backing out of my driveway, as i attempted to brake, the brake pedal went completely to the floor, and there was no stopping power.while attempting to pump the brake and use the parking brake, my vehicle crossed the street, went up the curb, and struck my neighbor's landscape wall, damaging it severely.total distance travelled was approximately 2.5 truck lengths before impacting the neighbor's wall.upon inspection by myself and later my insurance investigator, the brake fluid reservoir was empty, but there were no obvious signs of leakage.no puddles or visible brake fluid.truck was towed to local dealer who diagnosed the problem as 'brake failure due to leak faulty brake master cylinder'.within a few days, the brakes again did not feel right with a strange pedal feel.gradually, the worsening pedal feel was accompanied by a metallic scraping or grinding noise.a second trip to a dealer revealed a failed brake booster due to brake fluid ingestion, which also explained why there was no visible evidence of a leak after the crash.the brake booster operates at a vacuum, so as the master cylinder leaked catastrophically, the booster sucked in the fluid, causing it to ultimately fail as well.both the brake master cylinder and the brake booster were replaced under warranty.i am surprised that there as been no action on this issue yet - the complete failure of the most important safety system of a 2.5+ ton vehicle - as there are numerous nearly identical failure modes with this model and year.i truly hope nobody is killed by this; it was truly terrifying to be without brakes while moving in reverse in a massive vehicle.
Brake pedal sinks slowly to floor during stationary and motion
My 2013 ford f150 3.7l66,000 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.
Drivers side front wheel wore outalong 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.
Brakes go all the way down to the floor. Appears to be the same issue as some of the other 2013 models were recalled for, but for some reason, ford didn't include this model. This model should be included too.
I was in a parking lot backing out of my spot. With no warning light or any previous warning, my break system went out. Accelerating in reverse and breaks to the floor, my truck just continued to speed up. I slammed my car in park and the truck shut off. It was not until that moment that a warning light came on stating low brake fluid. I could have killed someone in this parking lot. Ford told me to drive it in and they would take a look at it. I had to tow it in myself and they claimed the warning light was on previous to me putting my car in reverse (which is wrong) but they replaced my break system for me (with the same failing system). I still have no faith in my breaks and my truck has never drove this poorly. Everything on it squeaks (probably from slamming it in park to avoid running people over). This needs to be a recall!!!
When entering vehicle to leave ford vehicle was parked i went to turn on the ignition master brake cylinder reservoir low waring light on display illuminated,low brake fluid on displayed. Filled the reservoir to minimum , drove for 10 minutes on city streets lowbrake warning again . Ford looked at it and found brake booster filling up with fluid, ordered part. Vacuum hose may be the unknown cause. Ford replaced pcv valve earlier in the month due to gas oder in oil.
Yesterday brake pedal starts to push toward the floorboardwhile braking. After sitting overnight the vehicle had no brakes and low brake fluid warning was on. Had to have towed to dealer.
3 major brake jobs in less that 70 thousand miles and a recall to the brake master cylinder.i have had a pulsing in my pedal and front end literally at 20k mile intervals and have had to machine / resurface or fully replace rotors and pads 3 times on a truck with only60k in miles on itford still refuses to admit a problem however the rotors they are using have since been replaced in fact after the 2 years of using these rotors but the problem still remains i just want to something on record should something happen to myself or any one i have as a passenger as written documentation of this continued problem.this is not only dangerous its irresponsible on their part
On third day of ownership the brakes failed and caused 6000.00 damage. While parking on the 4 th level of a parking garage @ 10 mph did a u turn to back into a parking place; the brakes failed to the floor and the the truck surged forward and hit a concrete wall causing 6000.00 front en damage . Ford would not accept any responsibility.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brake pedal failed to stop the vehicle occasionally. Each occurrence lasted approximately 10 to 25 seconds. The contact had to use all of his body weight to depress the brake pedal. Cal cars (10828 w sunset hwy, airway heights, wa 99001, (509) 244-2277) test drove the vehicle for two days, but could not duplicate the failure. The contact purchased an extended warranty on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact scheduled another appointment with the dealer to re-check the brakes. The failure mileage was 92,500.
Traveling 50 mph on a 4 lane road when engine shut off. Had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. I was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. The truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. Took to ford dealership the next morning. They said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. Put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot and malfunction. The cost was $250. I asked it there was a recall and they said no. I said someone is going to get killed because this is dangerous. The response was we have been getting a lot of these. I was lucky and was able to get off the road. The next person might not be as lucky. Something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.
I was driving on the interstate and the brake fluid level indicator light came on. I was able to stop safely and check the fluid. The master brake cylinder was close to empty. I had just had my vehicle serviced so this was odd. Upon attempting to drive again i found that i had no brake power.
Brakes went completely out while driving on a major highway, had to use emergency brake to finally stop truck. Found out there is a recall for 2013-2014 ford f-150 for this problem, however, ford did take a report today, but, they said this truck was not under the recall because it was made on 9-19-2012 and the ones under the recall #16v345000 were built in 2013. Funny that this is the exact problem yet not considered part of this recall. The repair involved replacing the master brake cylinder and the brake booster which cost $1193.25. We were lucky no one was injured or worse. Just hope they do a very good investigation and hope this does not happen to anyone else who's vehicle was built in 2012. The other note is, the oil did not leak out onto the ground, so no visible problem was seen, the oil went into the booster. I truly believe that this vehicle should be covered under recall # 16v345000.- sharon h., homosassa, us
~95% brake power loss.vehicle was stationary, and once started the low brake fluid light came on.brake function was reduced to about 5% of normal function.refilled fluid in reservoir and all fluid was lost during first 5 miles of driving.at this time there was only about 5% of brake power remaining and the vehicle had to be stopped using gear downshifts and the emergency brake.i checked over the vehicle and there was no apparent fluid loss in the engine bay or the brake lines.took to ford dealership and it was diagnosed as a master cylinder leak into the brake booster.this problem is an active recall with 2013 and 2014 model year f-150's, however my manufacture date did not fall within this recall.
The 2013 ford f-150 will intermittently ride with the brakes engaged.when letting off the gas pedal it will quickly come to a stop (both on the highway and urban roads).brake pads have been replaced twice (@ 55,000 miles) and i have noticed a considerable drop in the calculated miles per gallon since observing the issue.i took it to the dealer and they said that it was working properly.they did not hook it up to electronically to perform an advance diagnosis.they instructed me to bring it back when it acts up again.the problem is that it happens intermittently.the only way i could get the vehicle to "disengage the brakes" while driving is to come to complete stop, engage 4wd, drive a few hundred feet, then place the truck back into 2wd.this would normally reset the braking.appears to happen in colder temperatures.additionally, the brake pedal occasionally (every six months) will have a grinding pulsating vibration lasting several minutes.the brakes did not go out but it feels as if metal on metal is grinding which creates an unusual and alarming circumstance.
Brakes do not stop truck ,the pedal pushes all the way to the floor, start to get a wheel vibrations as vehicle slows. Will not stop in a panic situation. Vehicle is driven mostly city at speeds of 35 to 40 mile per hour. Seems more pronounced on hillsand coming to a light or stop sign. Vehicle just turned 20,000 miles, have already replaced brakes and rotors a two years ago .
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.
Brake master cylinder fail. I have had 2 brake master cylinder fails and will be taking the vehicle in for the 3rd time to replace anotherbrake master cylinder. This has happened since august 2018. 3 master cylinders within the last 5 months.
There was a clunking noise and then grinding noises, particularly loud when applying the brakes.i stopped at the nearest tire/brake center (tires plus, 2975 university pkwy, sarasota fl). They found that the front right brake caliper bolts were completely missing and the inside of wheel was grooved where it had been rubbing against the bolt before it broke off.they advised taking it to ford, which i did.ford kept the car and fixed the caliper and replaced the wheel with a new wheel, but did not have any explanation for how bolts could work loose.
Brake fluid level sensor came on while driving on interstate at highway speeds.no brakes after that point.coasted off the highway, checked fluid level, empty.added 20 oz to max fill level, leaked out inside of 6 minutes.towed to dealership, replaced brake master cylinder under ford recall 16s24.not sure booster was replaced.issue is i check my fluid level every week before getting on the highway, i knew there was a recall issued march 2017, but with my fluid level standing full, didn't think it was an issue, i had plans to do the recall in oct.this is not a slow leak, this is a full on seal failure with draining of the reservoir inside 6 minutes with the truck parked.when that light comes on, you are done with brakes.i just wanted you to know this is a sudden and total loss of fluid and not just a "leak".and there are no rear brakes, you don't just loose the front brakes, you have zero brakes.didn't have to apply the emergency brake, was able to coast to a stop in the parking lot of a gas station.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service, brakes hydrualic) regarding the master cylinder and brake booster. A computer update was also performed on the vehicle after an indicator concerning the transmission and two other unknown indicators flashed. After the repairs, the down hill descent and service advancetrac warning indicators illuminated. The contact called parkway ford (2104 peters creek pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27127, (877) 836-4271) and scheduled a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 166,000.
2013 ford f150 purchase 2 yrs ago with 51k in miles.the dealer had installed new breaks and rotors.the other day i started hearing a bad break noise so i took a look.the outside pads still had enough pad on them to see.i was away from home for the day so the next day i ordered pads and rotors.from the time i left my house taking neighborhood streets to the auto parts storeto the time i got back i went from break noise to only an emergency break.i take off the passenger tire to find brake fluid everywhere.i open the hood to see the reservoir empty.i remove the caliper to find there is no inner break pad, not even a steel plate?the caliper piston had hit the rotor and melted a bit.in all my years i have never seen or heard of a break pad coming loose from the holder.i found the steel plate the pad attaches to stuck in the shroud.got it out and looked at it.it doesn't appear to be that much thinner than a new one.so i get to looking into it and read lots of people talking about excessive wear on the inside front pads.i also find out about a recall for the master cylinder. I put the vehicle back together and park it.check the mail box to find a recall notice for it.i get the truck into the dealer and am told ford will only cover the master cylinder.now there are no noise indicators on the brake pads to tell you of ware anymore.and why did the plate come out of the holder. I am thankful i wasn't on the highway with my grandson.the truck only has 31k more miles on it than when the dealer replaced the brakes before.most of those are highway and i don't haul things.i think this is a life safety issue and poor engineering.
While driving on a county highway, pressed the brake peddle to slow for a bad section of road and brake peddle was stiff and would not depress. No brakes. Brake light and errors showed on console. No prior indication there were problems with the brakes. Used the emergency to safely brake the car to call for roadside assistance. Car was towed to the dealer. Dealer indicated that a vacuum line had fallen off and caused the no brake condition. I would have thought there would be a redundant system to allow the brakes to operate.
Loud screeching. Took it to my local mechanic and was told to take my truck to ford. My calipers may be calibrated incorrectly.the wheels were taken off and the drivers side brakes were engraved due to the metal on metal braking. My finger would be able to fit into thedeep engraved scratch on that brake. The passenger side was not the same but the mechanic said that it was going to happen soon if it's not taken care of quickly. I was told that the brakes, brake pad and rotors were completely ruined. To my amazement the dash board controls state that my brakes are fine. My mechanic said this is a manufactures defect and needs to be seen by ford.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving at a slow speed, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. Autonation ford panama city (located at 730 15th st, panama city, fl 32401, (850) 253-7000) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving about 10 mph, the brake pedal was soft andexhibited 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.
I was driving on a city road going 40mph. I went to hit the brakes at a stoplight and the pedal went to the floor. It ended up being the master brake cylinder was leaking into the brake booster.
Master cylinder leak causing low brake fuild and loss of brakes. Saw an older recall notice on this year of truck but my vin does not show it as recall .
Brake failure master cylinder leaked all fluid in brake booster. No injuries or accident. Lost brakes was able get off road safely.
Brake rotors were turned at 13000 miles again at 26000 & 34000. Have 38000 miles on vehicle now & have same problem. Most of these miles have been on the highway
Travelling at 60 mph on interstate 5 south bound at 0445 hrs i observed brake lights approximately 1/4 mile ahead. As i applied brakes the pedal was spongy and brake fluid warning light came on. While in heavy traffic the brakes failed. I was able to exit freeway by down shifting and using emergency brake.i got to a local retailer and purchased1 12 oz bottles of brake fluid and put it in the empty reservoir. After pumping the brakes i checked the fluid level and it was empty again. I purchased 2 more 12 oz bottles and added them to the reservoir. Pumped the brakes and everything seemed fine. Decided to go home (slowly) instead of work. After about 15 miles the brake fluid warning light comes back on. Pulled over and bought two more 12 oz bottles to put into my now empty reservoir. Drove 7 miles to my home and the low warning comes back on. Opened the hood to check brake fluid level and once again it is empty. Looked through engine compartment and the underside of my truck and there are no visible fluid leaks. This is a huge problem to life and limb. I see i'm not the only person with this issue yet nothing as far as i can tell is being done about it. Does someone have to be injured or killed? 60 oz of brake fluid just to drive 22 miles safely is not reasonable by any stretch of the imagination. Fortunately my wife or one of my children weren't using my truck when this happened or the outcome could have been very different.waiting to hear back from my local dealer.
I was leaving pnc art center and put the car in drive and started to drive and quickly noticed i did not have any brakes.i put on the emergency brake so as not to hit the car in front of me.
2013 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to brake fluid leaks from brake master cylinder into brake booster and caused brake failure.the consumer stated the vehicle experienced the same failure as described in safety recall fore certain ford f150 breaks. The consumer requested to be included in the recall and that she and her warranty company should reimbursed for the repairs. The break master cylinder was replaced.
My problem sounds like this issue: https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1104150_2013-2014-ford-f-150-recalled-to-fix-brake-fluid-leak-271000-trucks-affectedmy wife was driving the truck when a low brake fluid warning light came on and the brake pedal went to the floor.she was able to pump the pedal a bit to get the truck to slow down.luckily she was on a street and not the highway and was able able pull off into a parking lot and coast to a stop.she left the truck there. I went to the truck and added a bottle of brake fluid the next morning.the reservoir looked empty prior to me adding the fluid.i drove the truck 1.9 miles to a garage and had almost no braking power.i kept the truck in a low gear to control speed and had to pump the brakes at stop signs and traffic lights along the way to get it to stop.at one point the brakes weren't working at all and i almost rolled out into a cross street into a passing truck that was going approx 40mph.i kept pumping and came to a stop in the lane and the passing truck was able to swerve around me to avoid a collision.when i got to the garage i checked the reservoir and the brake fluid level had dropped back below minimum on that short drive. The mechanic investigated the issue and told me the master cylinder had a leak and would need to be replaced.it was basically failing.the total for the repairs will be around $750. Thankfully my wife was on a city street and not on the highway when the master cylinder failed.otherwise this could have ended in disaster. I called ford and they said my truck was not covered by the recall, even though it was a 2013 ecoboost with the 3.5l engine and came out of the the kansas city plant as mentioned in the recall article linked above.i wanted to report it to put it on your radar in case others experience this issue.it seems like a major safety hazard.
On october19 2015 in yuma, az., i was dropping daughter off at school at approximately 720 a.m. On my way work when my "check brake fluid" warning light illuminated, everything seemed normal but as i was driving i started to notice that the brake pedal started to feel mushy and as i continued driving at 55 miles per hour i was coming up to a major intersection and as i tried to decelerate by pressing the brake pedal the pedal went straight to the floorboard and i was not slowing down, but 5 minutes prior my brakes worked fine.i had to sharply veer of to the right to avoid slamming into another vehicle that was slowing down, driving over the curb and having to manually downshift and utilizing the emergency brake to avoid crashing into a parked bus.as i have been reading this seems to be a recurring issue with this vehicle and a very dangerous issue that needs to be addressed, i am thankful that i did not have my daughter in the vehicle at that time and am very lucky that nobody was hurt or god forbid worse.the f-150 was towed to the dealership and amazingly the service rep told me what was wrong before even looking at the truck which tells me that they are aware of the problem.just like everybody else here that this has happened too, when i check my brake fluid, go figure it was empty even though it was serviced about a month ago.the truck has 32,000 miles on it.ford needs to do something about this.very, very dangerous
Brake fluid in reservoir keeps getting low every few hours and the "low brake fluid" level light becomes illuminated.this started a few days ago and i just saw a notice from gas buddy informing me of a recall #16s24 that may be related to this issue, but when i entered my vin in the nhtsa website, there is no recall noted for my vehcile.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph on the highway, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact was able to pull off the highway and downshift to an eventual rolling stop. The contact restarted the vehicle and pumped the brakes pedal. The brake pedal eventually started to loosen up and the brakes worked normally. Benna ford superior (3022 tower ave, superior, wi 54880, (715) 394-8669) stated that there were no recalls and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer provided a case number and scheduled an appointment with the same dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact checked with an indedendent mechanic and was informed that the brake booster could be the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 127,600.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle.the acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
Disappearing brake fluid. Refilled 3 times in a matter of 15 miles. Refilled again at home pumped brakes the fluid is draining but is not found on the ground.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While applying the brake pedal, a squeaking noise was present from all four wheels. The vehicle shook and vibrated. The vehicle also suddenly lost power and appeared to stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the brake pads and rotors, but the failure continued. The contact was informed that the stalling was due to a faulty brake booster. The dealer changed the spark plugs, but the failures continued. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,667.

Loss of brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir into the brake booster
I replaced my breaks (all of them front and rear) in august of 2014. Not even one year of owning the vehicle and only about 13,000 miles. They would shudder and shake when i applied the brakes. Ford told me it was not covered under warranty and it as "normal wear and tear."fast forward, july of 2015. The breaks are doing the same thing again. Shuddering and shaking. I again take it into ford, and they are telling me the rotors are cracked and i am going to have to replace them. Within a year and now at only 27,000 miles. They asked me if i tow a lot or heavy items.i told them i have never towed anything and only drive the vehicle 3 days per week. Ford had no explanation of how it could have happened; however, again it is not covered under warranty. Breaks/roters are not covered! at 13,000 and at 27,000 there is no reason any breaks or roters need to be replaced.i owned a 2002 ford f-150 and did not need breaks until 70,000 miles. There is a problem!

Drove the truck 270 miles at interstate speed on i-95 to a grand daughters graduation in providence ri. At that location while driving at city speeds(35 mph) warning came on "brake fluid low" i checked the brake fluid level and it was low but there was still an inch of fluid in the reservoir, on the 2 mile trip back to the location we were staying, driving at about 35 mph, the brake pedal went to the floor and i lost all break power. The reservoir was completely empty, there was no sign of any break fluid oil under the truck or on the under carriage. Had the vehicle towed to a repair shop where the mechanics diagnosis was a failed master brake cylinder where all the brake fluid was sucked into the brake booster. Had to book an extra night in providence while waiting for the new master cylinder to arrive. After replacement of the master cylinder the drive, 270 miles home was without incident.
On 8/26/15 drove truck to town had no problems.

I purchased this truck brand new from ford in december, while on a road trip doing all interstate driving, i had to brake hard to avoid a collision when a semi truck cut into my lane.i slowed sharply from 65 to 30, applying hard braking to the pedal and steering to avoid contact with the semi truck.since then my brakes have been pulsing when applied to slow my vehicle, as if the rotors are warped.my truck now has 11,000 miles on it and the pulsing just keeps getting worse and worse.
Put the truck in drive and the brake booster failed.
While driving our ford f 150 we experienced total brake loss where the peddle went to the floor with no stopping. When brake fluid was checked the was none, nor was there a leak or any sign of a leak. The f 150 was taken to a local mechanic and he could not see any sign of a leak. He added brake fluid and it was disappearing about as fast as he was putting it in. The vehicle was taken to a second mechanic which was ultimately the same outcome, added fluid, fluid drained, no leak and still no brakes. The vehicle was then taken to the ford dealership where he told us that the master brake cylinder was leaking into the brake booster and our truck was not covered under the recall. Our truck is a 2013 vehicle that was manufactured at the dearborn plant in michigan. I still have the sticker from the truck when we bought it brand new. This vehicle is currently at the dealership genesee valley ford in avon, ny. No work has been done to the vehicle currently. The mechanic shops that looked and witnessed the vehicle after the brakes went out are beeches automotive in leicester, ny and al's automotive in leicester, ny. The current cost to fix this is north of $400 and the dealership is ordering parts for it now. I should not have to pay for this since it is the same reason that ford had to recall the others. My name is [xxx]and i am the son of the owner of the vehicle. My mother melody chest is the owner and the driver. I am handling this incident for her. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
3 weeks ago, the front brakes on my '13 f150 began vibrating for long periods of time at slower speeds and did not feel like they were releasing at all after braking.this occurred when the brakes were still cool and in all conditions, dry, snow and rain.the truck had barely 40k miles so i took it to brakes plus and they said that the brake pads were completely falling apart; disintegrating they said.i had them install new brakes ($275) and the vibration went away for 2 weeks, but started up again.it could be felt in the steering wheel and appeared to be keeping the vehicle from accelerating.i took the truck back to the dealership (larry h miller ford, lakewood, co) where i had purchased it used about 8 mos prior.i had the coverage of an extended warranty to 48k miles.they said they inspected the brakes and drove it and could find nothing wrong.interestingly enough, the vibration is completely gone now and it's been about 3 weeks??i am convinced they did something to repair the problem but did now want to tell me what they found.especially if in the future the calipers, master cylinder, or something else major on the brakes was going to fail.
The warning light for low brake fluid came on while slowly moving in traffic. Vehicle was immediately parked as there was a safe place to do so.brake master cylinder reservoir was checked and had very little fluid. Brakes were almost completely gone and pedal went to the floor. I called roadside assistance to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. The dealer found the brake fluid had leaked back into the booster and both the master cylinder and booster had to be replaced. I was fortunate no one was hurt or any crash resulted but i truly hope something is done before we hear of someone being hurt.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brakes made a grinding sound, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and required excessive force, and the vehicle took longer to stop.

Lost all ability to brake while driving 50 mph on state highway.due to fortunate circumstances and favorable traffic conditions, no injuries were suffered. Ford dealer diagnosed the problem as a master cylinder leak that is similar to a current recall for this year, make, and model. Despite having an identical master cylinder failure of an active recall, my vin number was not listed on the ford recalls list for this issue.

I drove the vehicle to the store this morning and there was no problem with the brakes.when i left the store and started the vehicle i got a message that said brake fluid is low and when i pressed the brake it went straight to the floor with no resistance.i had to pump the brakes several times to stop the vehicle from moving as i was attempting to back out of a parking space.i got it to stop however when i pressed the brake again it went straight to the floor again.i then turned the vehicle off and called for roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealership (it only has 11000 miles on it) and they advised me that the master cylinder was defective and was leaking fluid into the brake booster.
While driving the vehicle the low brake fluid light came on and then immediately after the light illuminated the truck experienced a complete brake failure. My foot went all the way down to the floorboard while pressing the brakes. The master cylinder was completely empty when we parked the vehicle. We replaced the brake fluid back into the master cylinder and within two minutes of pumping the brakes the master cylinder was empty and the low brake fluid level light came on again. We investigated under the vehicle but could not find any sign of the brake fluid leaking under the truck. We used the emergency brake to stop the vehicle and brought it to the ford dealership.
Loss of brakes while driving.brakes stopped working.pedal went all the way to the floor and nothing happened.had to use emergency brake to stop.towed car to ford to get brakes fixed. Brake line ended up breaking and rotors were damaged.

I checked the reservoir once again it was freaking empty i looked under once again to leaks could be found.. I left the truck there checked the web page to see if any incidentswith my type of vehicles had encounter this type of brake failure while driving thisford f150 type vehiclefound this nhtsa preliminary evaluation on this real safety matter:status: open dated opened - february 29, 2016 recall: #pe16003 possible recall please take action before some one gets killed> calling dealer up today>>>>information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving on the instate this morning and my brakes totally went out. After i was able to get vechicle stopped i drove slowly to a local shop. I car repair place was the closest one as i was out of town and was pulling a camper trailer. When the mechanic looked at it he said the brake fluid leaked from the reservoir into the brake booster. Result need to replace brake booster and master cylinder. Just like the recall from ford # 16s24. Although my vin # is not on the recall this is the same issue.
While driving saturday morning around 7 am on may 26, 2018 my brake fluid light came into the dash. When i pressed on my brakes i noticed there was not much resistance when pressing then the pedal went to the floor. I was first on rt37 in rhode island heading towards cranston when i noticed the light and exited immediately when i then found that my brakes were no longer working.per my mechanic -the master brake cylinder is leaking fluid into the brake booster depleting the break fluid in the primary reservoir minimizing braking capabilities. After learning what the problem with my truck was i researched any recalls.per the nhtsa the same issue already recalled on may 26 2016 for 271000 of the same truck make model and year. Ford is denying that my personal vehicle is involved in the recall. The truck has all maintenance required and approximately 53000 miles, far under the estimated time a problem like this should arise.
Owner driving pov entering interstate via onramp at approx. 60mph when check brake light appeared.owner continued into traffic and reached speed of approx. 70mph when traffic slowed.owner pushed brake pedal completely to floor with no slowing occurring. Owner pumped brakes numerous times, downshifted and utilized emergency brake to avoid collision going onto shoulder of interstate.brake fluid reservoir was empty, no evidence of a leak found on undercarriage.owner put more brake fluid in and was able to get pov home via slow speed, downshifting and emergency brake.brake reservoir once again empty.after research online regarding master cylinder failure, owner replaced master cylinder and brakes are working without issue..this incident could have obviously ended with someone seriously injured or even killed.pov was no longer under warranty with approx. 48,000 miles so all repairs were at owners expense.
At 42k miles, front brakes and rotors were trashed.now at 80k miles, front brakes and rotors are trash again.too soon for mean time between failure.all the while, brake fluid would disappear and had to be filled 3-4 times.however, there are not apparent leaks within the system
A advance track and brake service light came on. Aftera dealership inspection i was informed the pressure transducer is showing over 200 psi when no brake is applied.dealership says it needs a new hcu.1500$ cost for a hcu this is unsat a person should not have to worry about brakes going out overnight like i was informed could happen.this shouldbe fixed with a recall.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving, the brakes seized when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the brake pads and rotors were replaced. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic where the piston, rotors, brake line, brake pads, and brake fluid were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to big country ford lincoln (500 w commerce st, brownwood, tx 76801, (325) 643-1651), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 94,000.
Pulsating brake pedal, shimmy in the steering wheel at 27,000 miles.replaced all 4 rotors and new brake pads. 39,000 miles now, brake pads need to be replaced.
On july 6,2015 i came out of the gym entered my truck ,turned it on the brake light came on and the peddle went all the way to the floor,luckily i was parked and not driving when it happened or the outcome could have been different.i called my dealer they sent a tow truck, out to pick up my vehicle. Brake fluid was low it had leaked internally from the master cylinder into the vacuum line then into brake booster. They had to replace the brake booster and the master cylinder. I just wanted to let you know that it is happening.my truck is an eco boost v6 and it is now march and i am taking my truck back in as son as i can get an appointment because of the front brakes grinding and squeezing, making noise when i come t a stop. My vehicle only has 27,000 plus miles. The brake failing happened at 22,000 plus miles.i have the invoice and work order in my possession when and if it is needed . I 'm as i stated earlier was lucky i wasn't moving .my only displeasure was that i had to rent a car for 2 days or stay home ,so even though they didn't charge me i still paid over 200.00 for a rental car.
Brake fluid filled the booster and ruined master cylinder.
I would you like to revisit ins # 11229625 may 24 23016. I think ford mis represented how many brake master cylinders were installed on new 2013 f150 that are bad and causing loss of most braking and $1200 fix because it also damages the vaccume canister fill up with brake fluid ..... Nowarnings when failed i was in reverse in a walmartparking lot
Brake failure while pulling a travel trailer on i-95 in virginia.the low brake fluid light came on and then the complete brake failure light came on and we had no brakes.i was able to coast to a stop on an uphill exit ramp.the vehicle and trailer had to be towed to a ford dealership.was told by the service manager at the ford dealership that the master cylinder had failed and the fluid was pumped into the brake booster and contaminated the entire brake system.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was a failure with the brake seal that caused brake fluid to release from the cylinder into the brake master cylinder. The contact had to apply force to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle when the failure occurred. The vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the vehicle exhibited the same failure as the recall campaign. Anderson ford bullhead city (928-482-3238, located at 2585 az-95, bullhead city, az 86442) was made aware of the failure by the contact and the manufacturer. The vehicle was repaired at the tune of $1,160.54. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 27,630.
In all braking scenarios, be it from 55mph+ to 0 or just a partial slow down the truck begins to shake and shimmy vigorously. It affects steering, stopping distance and is extremely unsafe. The issue is at its peak when coming to a complete stop at any red light or trying to brake and turn at the same time. Issue was diagnosed and seems to be a defect in ford rotors as the brake pads are over 80% as stated by a ford representative.
Sudden loss of brake pressure, warning light for low brake fluid. Had to use emergency brake to stop.
On saturday june 10, 2017 i was out of town with family in cary, nc. We were leaving the hotel parking lot that morning and when i started the truck and put truck in reverse the brakes did not work..after looking, i saw there was no brake fluid. There was no brake fluid on the ground so i didn't know what the issue could be. I got more brake fluid then drove to a mechanic.by the time i got to the mechanic (1 mile down the road) the brake fluid was gone again.after the mechanic looked at issue, it was determined that the brake booster failed.they found that there were no parts and it took until tuesday june 13, 2017 to get part and repair. Thinking there must be an issue since no parts were available.i found that 126 complaints were registered regarding the brake booster on 2013 ford f150's.after calling ford it was determined that my 2013 ford f150 was not on the list.my ford f150 had the exact same major issue that the ford f150's that were recalled.this is very disturbing that the brakes went out, especially after we had just drove through the west virginia mountains. I have talked to ford multiple times and they are not willing to do anything about this issue. Only until the part is put on the recall list for my vin# will ford do something. I have been told to keep my receipts just in case it is put on the recall list. I find this very upsetting that the exact same part had been recalled on other 2013 ford f150, but my vin# was not on the list.i had the exact same issue and this could have been a very bad problem if this happened in the mountains that we had driving through. I have the part that failed and all receipts. I hope that this complaint gets noticed and something is done.thank you
Vehicle refused to stop at red light when i was traveling at 40mph. I had to climb the median to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of.me.

On 05/03/16 i went to bring my 9500lb rv home from storage. While driving to the lot the truck brakes were fine. After hooking up the rv to the truck and pulling out of the lot the brakes were still fine. But as i approached a traffic light, i pressed on the brakes and nothing was there, no brakes at all. Red lights on the dash was the only warning i got, but not until it was to late. If not for the rv having brakes i would not have been able to stop. I was able to get the rv home. I put fluid in the brake reservoir. I then drove down the street (without rv) with brakes but after the third stop i lost all brakes. I was able to pull into a local repair shop and had them fix the issue. I was told the master cylinder was leaking all fluid into the brake booster, and when the mechanic removed the booster he poured fluid from the booster.before i left my house i found no wet brakes or fluid in the engine compartment or on the ground. I was told the same by the mechanic.i called my ford dealership and told him of the issue and he stated because i was outside my warranty (45000 miles) it would not have been covered. He made no menchin of the possible brake issues.i went on the internet to see if others had a similar issue and found out about the investigation. I'm writing you today to let you know this is happening without any warning.i have all the parts and the repair cost me 873.26. All streets were local streets. Several traffic lights. After i lost braking i was able to stop and enter my residential street by using trailer brakes and the emergency truck brakes.thank you
Brake pedal goes all the way to the bottom and it is losing pressure. I was driving about 10 miles per hour when i push the brake and all of a sudden the pedal when all the way to the floor..
Two days after purchasing this two year old used limited edition f150 the power brake assist failed; weather condition was rain.returned it to dealership who did nothing as they could not duplicate the problem.this has happened several times since purchasing the truck, and reported to the dealership, and is a major concern to me as i tow a 26' travel trailer with it.rate of speed when applying brakes was @15mph or less, and each time the roads were wet.called ford today and established case # cas-11141043 for this repeat condition after dealership said there were no recalls or tsbs and that it was uncertain if it's under warranty.today was the most recent incident and the truck is back at the dealership now.
I was driving down the highway at 60 mph a car pull over into lane in front of me? i stepped on the brakes and they were as hard as a rock, luckily i steered to the aide of the highwayand down shifted till the truck came to a rolling stop, the brake and the parking brake light are on and the brakes were still as hard as a rock , i tried shutting the truck off and restarting, and still the same result, i put the truck in drive after awhile and kept messing with it pushing as hard as could on the brake pedal and i got a little bit of brakes , after driving a few miles they started working again, now i'm afraid waiting wondering if it's not gonna work again, it's dangerous, it's my main vehicle and most of my family randomly uses it. I've had a lot of problems with this truck.
2013 ford f-150 platinum truck. I got in my truck and pulled out of a parking lot. I was about to turn and get on the interstate. A car was in front of me and when i mashed the brakes the petal was stiff. There was a noise coming from the brakes. It seemed. I was able to move to the side of the rode before striking the rear of the car and come to a stop. I then proceeded slowly to an empty parking lot. I got out and walked around the vehicle and looked under the hood. No leaks that i could see and the brake reservoir was full. I drove around the parking lot and mashed the brakes several time and then it went back to working. This has been happening on several occasions. I see a recall but it is not for my vin. Why? this is a very serious safety hazard so why is ford not taking this serious. I have been in the fire service for 31 years and have seen the outcome of brake failure. This is not good.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the brakes failed and the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes). The vin and failure mileage were unknown.
I have had my vehicle for a little over two years and have had to have my front breaks and rotors replaced 4 times.the first time being within the first month of purchase of my vehicle.ford did the first replacement for free, but i have paid for the rest.the rotors show unusual wear and warping every time.even with new rotors and pads the breaks are squeeky and jerky. This has not caused me an accident yet, but i have had to replace the brakes every 20 to 25 thousand miles otherwise i feel like they would have failed.
Brakes requiring frequent service with brake pads breaking on passenger side and rotors needing turning. We have 50,000 miles on truck and brakes are scrubbing again.this will be the fourth time we have had to correct this problem.
The truck was parked,when i started the truck the low brake fluid light came on and the paddle went to the floor.added brake fluid and the same result, low brake fluid light came back on and the pedal went to the floor.there were no signs of fluid leak under the truck.had it towed to ford dealer.they stated i needed master cylinder and brake booster replaced.
1st occurrence i was driving in town, moderate traffic and i depressed the brake pedal and it was rock solid and i could barely slow the vehicle with both feet pressing as hard as i could and the brake warning lights came on. I turned the vehicle off then when i restarted several minutes later, the issue went away. A couple of days later, i received the brake booster recall notice and took the vehicle in for repair at the local dealer. A couple of weeks after the booster recall repair i had the same issue on a rural road nearly causing an accident. I took the truck to the dealer immediately with all of the warning light illuminated and issue still occurring. The ford dealer said it needed the vacuum pump replaced so i told them to go ahead, they charged approximately$360 for the repair. Yesterday, after turning off of a rural road to a more developed shopping area, i lost braking function with the same symptoms as previously described at a traffic light and had to use the parking brake to decelerate. I again parked the vehicle, turned off the ignition and after about 30 minutes, the brakes were working again.i have made an appointment with the dealer to have this diagnosed again in 2 days. Thank goodness my this hasn't occurred while towing my boat. The issue has occurred in both city and highway driving and always while the vehicle is in motion. Only once did the brake warning lights come on before loss of braking. The issue did not occur while turning.
While in motion on city street, brake warning illuminated and brake pedal went to the floor when depressed with virtually no braking action. Dealer stated brake fluid went into the brake booster and had to replace the brake booster and brake master. Service document attached.
I first noticed the problem when i was slowing to a stop on a city street. I had my foot on the brake pedal applying constant pressure and the vehicle was slowing down. Then it felt as if the brakes had loosened and the car was no longer slowing down. I "pumped" the brake pedal (let up on the pedal and then re-applied pressure) and i had pedal pressure and was able to apply brakes to slow down. I tested the brakes again at the next intersection and they felt fine so i ignored it thinking i had probably lifted my foot off the pedal. It happened 1 or 2 other times, and i also had my wife drive the vehicle to ensure it wasn't just me. She also noticed the odd feel and behavior of the brake pedal. At this time (maybe 1 week after first noticing the problem), i was testing the brakes and was able to push the peddle all the way to the floor. It had brake pedal, but if i kept increasing the pressure, it would go to the floor, but with some resistance. Think of an air mattress as you are pushing air out of it. That is what it felt like. It was at this point i took it into my local dealership and they confirmed the master cylinder was faulty and needed to be replaced.there is an existing recall on the same make, model, and year of my vehicle (investigation: pe 16-003, recall: 16v-345), but only for vehicles manufactured august 1, 2013, to august 31, 2014. My vehicle was manufactured in june 2013 at the kansas, missouri plant.
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.
On 6-26 of this year 2018, we got into my truck to go to tuesday night church service. And as i was waiting for the garage door to open, i placed my transmission in reverse put my foot on the brake pedal. As i did, the pedal went all the way to the floor. I immediately put my transmission in park. The next day i had it towed to a garage for repair. The master cylinder had failed and all the brake fluid had leaked into the booster. The vehicle was repaired with new ford parts but i am afraid to drive it even though the brakes are now working fine again for fear they could again fail and someone could get hurt or killed.
I am the owner of a 2013 ford f150 crew cab.may i say that the brakes on this vehicle are at best sketchy, at worse dangerous.i have experienced rough stops on numerous occasions and had to have them attending to by technicians more than once.the rotors have been turned, but the stuttering stops persist.they tell me that nothing can be done until i change them and that doesn't sit well with me.why should i have to pay to get what i feel are defective brakes fixed?
Brakes squeak loud when inreverse.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to immediately stop. The brake pedal was pushed to the floor however, the stopping distance was extended. The low brake fluid low message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake booster and brake master cylinder were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer keesee motor company located at 111 s broadway, cortez, co 81321 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure.

The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Brake master cylinder failure, causing brake fluid leakage into the brake booster.interestingly, there is a recall for this exact issue in certain 2013-2014 f-150's (submission date : may 23, 2016nhtsa recall no. : 16v-345manufacturer recall no. : 16s24).my vin happens to not be included in the recall.it looks like ford may have forgotten to add some trucks to the recall.if you ask me, it's no coincidence that my truck was purchased within the years of the recall, and had the exact same failure as the recall.unfortunately, tomorrow (july 11, 2017) i will pay ~$1050 to get this fixed, when it should have been included in the recall.
The contact owned a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated when her husband was driving the vehicle at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle gauges and rpms unexpectedly went into a lower gear. The steering wheel then ceased and the vehicle was unable to be controlled, along with the brake pedal failed to operate while shuttering and the lastly the vehicle crashed into a wall. The side airbags did deploy but the frontal airbags did not. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot after being totaled. A police report was taken. The contacts spouse was the only person injured in the crash. The husband sustained a back injury, numbness, tingling in his legs, and a concussion. The spouse was taken to the emergency room for his injuries. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Low brake fluid warning came on while driving. Pulled into gas station, saw brake fluid reservoir was near empty. There was no signs of a leak. Bought and refilled brake fluid and drove to dealership-1 mile away- brake fluid reservoir was 1/2 full. Service representative, knew right off hand what the issue was, brake master cylinder failure bleeding into the reservoir. Luckily i was able to get to aservice c enter. Took days to get parts. Seems like a known issue with ford and they're avoiding a recall...
Drove truck to work no issues. Went to leave for the day, pressed the brakes to shift into reverse and brake pedal went to the floor followed by a brake fluid low message. Checked fluid and it was below min line. Checked for leaks under and at each wheel. No fluid found. Contacted ford to check for recall and they stated my truck was not part of their brake master cylinder recall.
The master cylinder is dumping the fluid from the primary reservoir into the brake booster, resulting in the loss of brakes.my vehicle was not covered by the previous recall (16s24), but is experiencing the same issue.my vehicle is a f150 platinum with the 3.5l eco boost engine.the vehicle has approximately 87,000 miles. The brake loss occurred while the vehicle was sitting in a park.
Brakes failed while driving on the interstate.diagnosed as bad master cylinder and brake booster.
As i was driving home from work on the highway, i started to stop at a red light. My brake pedal went all the way to the floor with very minor speed reduction. I attempted to pump the brake pedal, but had to use the emergency brake to actually come to a stop. After some investigation, i was told my master cylinder had been leaking into my brake booster and both needed to be changed. This was recalled in 2016, but only for 2013-2014 f150 with a 3.5l engine. Since i have a 2013 f150 with a 5.0l mine was not recalled which almost caused me to have a wreck. Now i am paying out of pocket to fix it.
Billy cain ford sold a truck to me as low mileage with no carfax damage. Salesman tom chacko promised a carfax report at closing. He failed to produce the report upon delivery to me at work. Tom vowed the truck had no damages. Carfax/auto check showed 4 brake failures and 2 alternator failures. Greene ford verified flood damage 12-11-18. Tom chacko denied their findings 12-12-18, requested written report. Lemon squad documented flood damage 12-26-18. All three reports show consistent flood damage. Jason pirkle warranty/finance manager refused to repair failed emissions stating they were not covered under my extended warranty purchase. The emissions coded 170mi after purchase indicating that code was reset before my purchase. The emissions damage was covered under emissions performance warranty coverage federal mandate. Greene ford gladly repaired the emissions with no issues. Jason pirkle presented the truck to wells fargo bank, state farm insurance, and ford motor warranty division as undamaged value. The truck only has salvage value because of the flood damage. Over $5000 in repairs and 34 days in the repair shop. The truck has massive electrical issues from flood damage. I have not driven the truck since 12-11-2018. Major efforts were taken to deceive the buyer of this truck. If billy cain ford had presented the truck truthfully i would have never purchased the truck. Billy cain ford did a purchase inspection, maintenance service inspection, and complete detail so they had knowledge of flood damage. A registered mail request for buy back was sent to cody cain 1-17-2019 and he not responded to the request. Billy cain ford has not made a honest written offer to resolve this issue to date.
Brake fluid leaked from the brake mastercylinder into the brake power booster. Once the brake fluid level in the mastercylinder reached a high enough level, brake fluid was sucked through the vacuum lines into the intake and into the engine, where presumably it filled up the cylinders. This occurred both while in motion and stationary, i suspect it only occurred while the engine was running and a vacuum was on the vacuum lines.
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 andstranded 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.
While travelling on the highway, low brake fluid warning came on, and when exiting the highway the brake pedal went to the floor and i had very little braking efficacy. Fortunately, the highway exit was slightly uphill and the traffic light was green with vehicles starting to move and i was able to coast through the right turn at the green light. This occurred on the elgin-o'hare tollway (i-390) in hanover park, illinois where the elgin-o'hare (i-390) westbound meets lake street. My 6 year old son was travelling with me, and we are very fortunate to have had the situation work out in our favor. Had we been travelling home instead of away from home, the exit ramp we would have used was downhill and typically ends at a very busy intersection.

The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: cas-17958951-h8h4s3. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000. The vin was not available.
I lost all pressure in the brake system. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor.. When i checked the brake reservoir, it was empty.i was unable to find any signs of leaking brake fluid.i refilled the reservoir and was able to restore pressure by pumping the brakes. A few minutes before total brake failure, i was in motion in an urban area, towing a boat equipped with surge brakes.i was travelling down a steep hill could feel the brake pedal travelling closer to the floor.i've had no problems since but routinely check the brake reservoir to ensure there is sufficient brake fluid i didn't report it until now, when i heard that other f150 owners had experienced the same problem.

My family and i were preparing to pull out of a croded parking lot as we were leaving a baseball tournament.my husband attempted to put the truck into drive and as he shifted, the truck lunged backward as he had no brakes to stop the vehicle.he had to throw it into p to stop.a mother and her son were walking near the vehicle at this time, my husband was quite unnerved.he turned the vehicle off and went to a local store for brake fluid in order to drive home.he took the truck to the nearest dealer where they had discovered that the master cylinder and entire brake system failed.there was no warning to this issue.our truck only has 44,000miles and is 2 years old.this is our family vehicle used to transport our children, not to haul or tow things.i researched this issue online and contacted ford after realizing that our truck was not the only truck with this issue.i spoke with regional manager randy copeland regarding the issue and expressed my concerns that this is a huge safety issue.an entire brake system should never fail unless it was faulty, especially on a newer vehicle.i explained to him that this is a serious issue and could result in loss of lives if it is not addressed.i was told to worry about my own vehicle.i was told that i need to keep conversation professional, i was upset at the fact that he dismissed the seriousness of no brakes.my concerns fell on deaf ears.i want ford to realize the seriousness of this safety issue.mr. Copeland also could not answer my question- what would ford have done if my husband would have backed over this mother and her son.i want ford to recognize this problem and take action before someone is seriously injured or lives are lost.

Brake fluid leak from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster
While moving at speed below 10 mph, but using the brake at times, my "low brake fluid" warning indicator came on after driving only 200 yards. Even after filling the brake fluid container, it again came on after only about 500 yards. I carefully took the truck to my local ford dealer who found that the master cylinder was leaking fluid into the brake booster. This is identical to the ford recall #16s24. However ford says that my vin is not among the recall list, but obviously the recall should be extended to include my vehicle that exhibits the identical recall that ford describes.

Lost complete steering became very hard no warnings either. Very dangerous and i had to pay for the full repair there should be a recall for that it is a very dangerous situation to be in especially because it happens with no warning what's so ever
The power steering assist fault warning engages and shuts down the power steering.very dangerous while driving.ford says this is not a known issue but according to the repair forums it is a problem.this has been an ongoing issue for my vehicle.
When turning into a curve aspeed 20 mph and above the traction control light comes on and the van pulls hard to the left.have taken it to the ford dealer several times and was told that it is not putting any error codes into the computer and that they have no idea what is causing it.van is very dangerous to drive.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn.the contact heard an abnormal noise and lost control of the vehicle. The power steering failure warning message was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact called local dealer (smith ford located at 908 e oak st, conway, ar 72032) and a technician was sent to the residence to perform a diagnostic test on the vehicle. The contact was informed that the rack and pinion and sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.
Electric power steering rack and pinion stopped working while driving at approximately 75 mph, had to pull over and get the truck towed. Contacted local ford dealer, they advised replacing the electric rack and pinion for about $1900. They acknowledged it is a safety concern, however ford has not issued a recall for this model yet.
I was driving and made a right turn and the power steering gave out for a few seconds. Then once i straightened back out i could not reproduce the problem. This has happened several times but can happen when turning either way.
The electric steering actuator is making a squealing sound and the steering wheel jerks a little when unwinding out of a turn like it was binding.
After changing oil, mechanic was backing truck off ramp and experienced sudden difficulty steering.the mechanic attempted to drive truck to determine steering issue when the steering failed completely.mechanic determined epas has failed and entire rack had to be replaced and programmed.
Driving truck on a two lane road when the power steering suddenly went out as i was rolling up to the stop sign. I managed to control the truck and get it turned around and back to my house without problem, but could only imagine what could have happened had i been on the interstate at a high rate of speed when this happened. After research, i saw that this was a known issue and that there have been some recalls but my truck was not one of them. Took it to the dealership and they repaired it for $2300. Said they had to replace the steering column. Called complaint line at the corporate office and they paid $700 of the $2300 which we are grateful for, but still feel that it should have been repaired as a recall issue and therefore no charge to us. This has been a known issue with the steering in ford cars and trucks for a number of years. This truck is a 2013 and only has 40,000 miles on it. One would not expect such an expensive repair to be necessary on a truck with such low mileage. And surely a safety hazard if this had happened in heavy traffic or at a high rate of speed.
Off an on losing power steering.can be very tight to steer.nearly pulled me into oncoming traffic when steering wheel kinda got stuck and did not recover to straighten truck.i had to pull wheel to get back in lane.been going off an on but now mostly manual steering and getting worse.nothing mechanical, rack n pinon, knuckles, ujoint, brakes, etc.ford hooked up diagnostic and it showed all good.no indicator lights on in truck.sounds similar to other recalls you have.ford looked at it a month ago.now cant get in for 2 more weeks.is it safe to drive?
Vehicle has electric power steering. The power assist occasionally quits while you are driving the vehicle, creating an extremely dangerous situation.
Was driving and the power steering locked up received a power steering assist fault code , service advance trac code, & downhill code. The truck would not turn left or right very dangerous. When the tow truck driver picked up my truck he stated i was the 4th ford he's towed with these same issue. Looked online and saw multiple pages in regards to the same issues. Vehicle is currently at the mechanics and ford issued a recall for other vehicles for the same issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the power steering failed to operate as needed with the power steering assistance fault and advanced track warning messages displayed on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle however, the same failure recurred less than two miles later. The contact drove to his destination and called crown ford (256 swain st, fayetteville, nc 28303,(910) 600-6598) where an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.
Steering first started making groaning noises on tight turns, within a few days, got so bad i could barely steer it.mechanic diagnosis is that steering rack/electris steering assist system needs to be replaced.he also said that the replacement part has been redesigned to help prevent this kind of problem, which seems common.this suggests that it is a design flaw with serious safety implications-- danger of not being able to steer at various speeds, to include when towing heavy loads, as i was doing when it was going bad.if a design flaw, why is this not already a safety recall?
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 75 mph, the contact had to stop the vehicle suddenly and the service advance trac, power steering, and service immediately warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer (randall reed planet ford in park cities, texas) where it was diagnosed that the sensor in the rack system was faulty and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
Twice in the last week the a warning to service the advance trac system came on and lost power steering.making it almost impossible to drive home.the next morning it worked fine, no warnings. I am afraid to let my wife or kids drive it for safety reasons.
On sept. 1st2017 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.
Steering started feeling like it was hanging up while turning. Progressively got worse over days by happening more often. Eventually to the point now where there is no power assist. The weirdest thing was at one point it started to work totally fine for about ten minutes then went back to total failure. This is equipped with the epas system. Called dealer and was quoted a new complete rack o fix it at approx $2000. This system does have a recall on 2014s but not 2013s for what seems to be the same problem.
While driving in a straight line under 40 mph i can feel a banging in the steering wheel traveling up the steering column it feels like the front of the truck is loose. This happens while driving on smooth roads as well as rougher roads, and is more pronounced when the temps outside go above 75 degrees and the longer i drive it the worse it gets, if it is a cooler day out it does not happen. Ford service dept. Wants to change out the lower steering shaft, but i don't think that is going to solve the problem. I know there are issues with the electronic power steering units in these trucks that cause these symptoms. I don't think a brand new $50,000 truck with 1600 miles on it should be having any problems.
Pulling into a parking lot, just after traveling on the 65 mph highway, my steering wheel locked and kicked back hard injuring my left thumb. The steering wheel would not turn at all. The truck remained operational otherwise but the steering remained locked. A warning message appeared saying "power steering failure". Had to have the truck towed to the dealership. I have research the hundreds, if not more, complaints and safety issues with the f-150 steering and this needs to be addressed by ford as this will, if not, cause serious bodily harm. This is the last ford i will ever own, period. They do not stand by their inept electronic components and customers are paying the price.
I purchased my 2013 ford f150 three weeks ago, certified pre-owned from mountain view ford in chattanooga, tn. While pulling out of my driveway this morning, the truck was engaged in 4x4h mode,(due to inclement weather)it started making a terrible popping noise that sounded like the front left tire was coming off as i was turning to the right. I pulled over and let the car idle for a while. I then kept driving and when going up a steep hill it started doing it again, so i pulled over at a gas station and the loud popping/banging noise happened again as i was turning left this time. It was so loud it startled the customers who were fueling their vehicles. Sounded like a piece of metal snapping in two. Is this related to nhtsa # 10058199? or ford tsb 44964? i had to disengage the 4x4h and put my truck back in 4x2h a to make the noise stop. We had icy roads this morning, which is the reason i purchased a 4x4 to begin with.

In addition, the contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, the steering wheel become difficult to maneuver and had to turn the engine off and restart the engine to be able to turn the steering wheel while in traffic. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic power assist sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v316000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximated failure mileage was 25,000. The vin was not available.
While making a left hand turn at an intersection the steering wheel violently turned to the right forcing my truck to swerve off the road.i had no control over the car and could not get the steering wheel to move.immediately the advancetrac warning light came on as well as the battery warning light.i did not lose power to the truck but was on able to turn the wheel.after a couple attempts of turning off the truck and starting it again i was able to get steering back.i tried to make it off of the freeway on ramp but was only able to make it a few feet until the steering failed again and swung the car to the right.i had the truck towed to the nearest ford dealership and they said that the steering gear failed.i was quoted $1950 for the part.the truck is just short of 60k miles and being out of warranty they said all i can due is file a report.i am having to pay for the repairs until my report is reviewed.i have read numerous reports of this same problem happening to other owners with the same year and make as my truck and think this is an extremely dangerous problem.i don't think it is right that any automobile can lose steering at anytime with out the option to at least maneuver the vehicle to safety.i am filing a report with ford to try and get reimbursed.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the power steering assist and traction control warning indicators illuminated. While coasting over to the side of the road, the steering wheel became difficult to steer. The contact powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that he was down the street from an independent mechanic and was able to drive the vehicle with difficulty steering. The vehicle was diagnosed that the steering rack assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called mac haik ford lincoln (located at 7201 n interstate hwy 35, georgetown, tx 78626, (512) 930-3673) and was informed that they never heard of the failure and there was no recall for the steering. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
At 99k miles the epsa went out on my 2013 f150 4x4. Truck was never mistreated over 95% of the miles are highway miles. I find it odd years before and after have recalls for the same problem but not for 2013. I was pulling out of my driveway when this happened
I was drivingmy month old brand new ford 150 and completely loss power steering.thank goodness i was going straight or i am sure thatit would have beena lot worse . It is still in the shop they think the steering rack is gone and now i am driving a crappy toyota camry as a rental . So not happy i bought ford because they had a great reputation and love the truck but this is unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the eps warning indicator randomly flashed. The dealer (bell ford, 2401 w bell rd, phoenix, az 85023, (602) 457-2144) diagnosed that the steering gear assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had not issued a recall to provide a solution; however, there were three tsbs for the eps. The manufacturer informed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing and repair. The approximate failure mileage was 40,216.
Bad steering vibration when braking at highway speeds. Took vehicle to dealer and they indicated warped rotors that had to be machined back to proper surface - already!. Vehicle is only a few months old, only approx. 15k miles. Have noticed online that others have had the same issue. This seems like a safety concern with ford using sub-standard brake rotor materials. Additionally, the vehicle would drift to the left - dealer indicated alignment issue, but required $450 additional kit in order to allow for adjustment since it was already at peak of specs (vehicle has never had alignment since it was new, vehicle has never had an incident that would cause misalignment). Vehicle seems unsafe with these issues and now that the rotors are 'thinner' due to the resurfacing, the warping will likely occur more frequently until they (and other brake parts and/or suspension and steering parts) need to be replaced. This can lead to premature brake, component, suspension and steering systems wear and/or failure which should be a major safety concern. Ford would not warranty the alignment issue and extra cost nor replacement rotors but only resurface ('turn') the original rotors.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving, the service advance trac warning light intermittently illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that while attempting to drive, the steering wheel seized as the power steering and service advance trac warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not able to drive. The contact stated that the vehicle would be towed to his residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,343.
Vehicle is experiencing random "power steering assist" faults.when this happens, the power steering is lost on the vehicle.i have researched where ford has recalled several trucks in the same year-model range as this vehicle for the same reason due to faulty part.is it possible they simply missed this vehicle or does the recall need to be extended to cover this vehicle as well?
While driving on the interstate with cruise control set approximately at 70mph, i stepped on the gas to accelerate past a vehicle. The truck did not respond but decelerated and the steering wheel began to shake. The check engine light flashed. I continued to drive and with only slight pressure to the gas to maintain speed. After approximately 5-10 seconds the vehicle regained power. The incident happened a second time, same conditions same results. The ford dealer says its a known problem with parts back ordered. This seems unacceptable if its a know problem. Someone can get in a serious accident at highway speeds if they pulled out in fast moving traffic expecting acceleration to be there.
Today while driving my 2013 ford f150 at 30mph on a county road, a warning popped up that said "hill descent control fault" as the power steering failed. Luckily i was driving straight ahead at a slowed rate of speed. After this i could barely turn the steering wheel making for very unsafe driving conditions. Also the turn signals quit working shortly afterwards. The vehicle has about 50,000 miles on it, and looking around on the internet would lead me to assume this is a very common problem that is a definite safety concern for any in or around one of these vehicles. I also noticed that the next model year of this vehicle received a recall on this very problem. My wife also drives a 2013 f150 and i'm afraid to let her drive it anymore, it took all i could do to steer it, i can't imagine she'll be able to do the same when hers fails.
While driving at speeds around 40 mph the steering wheel has a rattle felt through it.it feels as though the electric power steering is giving feedback or the front shocks are loose.at speeds around 70 mph, this cannot be felt.ford techs rotated and balanced tires, but that did not fix it.they mentioned that the new electric power steering system works based upon speed. This problem appears to beworse at low speeds and ok at higher speeds.there is definitely a problem that ford needs to fix!
Multiple times i have taken a turn in my 2013 f150 and the steering goes "stiff" for 5-10 seconds. It feels like i don't even have power steering or any control over the wheel. And it's terrifying each time it happens. I've almost ran off the road into the railing while going around a sharp turn on a mountain that could of caused me to run off the cliff due to the locked up steering.
Received dash messages stating "service advance trac" and "hill descent control fault" resulting in inop full detent turn signals, yet3-blink lane change retained function.steering angle dash readout remained inop regardless of steering input.returned vehicle to a ford dealer for diagnosis.was advised entire steering rack requires replacement.## vin passed ## ford f150 2013 ##
The steering automatically stopped workingwhile driving on expressway at 70 mph. As i exited the highway, the steering countinuly was lost of power steering. Luckily, i was able to make the truck drive home, but was very risky to drive trying to avoid driving off road, or avoiding car accident. I had no choice but to drive into work today, and feel this truck it's completely not road safe. The ford service center has told me the electric steering system epas needs to be replaced, and iam not willing to pay for this service since the truck has 45,000 miles . I have googled this epas electric steering question, and come to find out this problem seems to be in all of ford pick up trucks, which ford will not address this matter. What am i supposed to do? keep driving ? what will geico insurance say about this if i cause an accident? who would be the victim? me, the other driver's ,ford, and geico pays the bill?thanks ,

The manufacture advised that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v316000 (steering). The failure mileage was 45,000.
The truck makes a grinding/popping sound when turning over any terrain. Feels like something is loose or a wheel is going to fall off.
Randomly the steering locks up and loses power steering - usually on a turn left and right - issue lasts 2 to 5 seconds and then returns to power steering.a hill decent failure warning light appears and then a service advancetrac warning light. Also feels like the brakes are being applied automatically.very dangerous in traffic.
Dealership told me that the angle sensors are bad and the entire rack and pinion need replaced, upon further research i've seen vehicles with the same problem suddenly loose steering and were involved in accidents, my vehicle luckily hasn't had any issues yet other than knowing mines going bad and i fell it's a safety concern that i do not want to put myself or others in harm way and the dealership told me there are no recalls for the rack and pinion.
I drove the truck from home to work and around school zone which is a city street. I pulled over because children were getting out of school wheni try to fix the truck to the side walk i turned the steering wheel to align the truck ,all of a sudden it got locked .no one got hit!!but, it was scary.did not expect this to happened. The steering wheel does not turn left or right. So, aaa towed the truck to 15505 roscoe galpin service at north hills so,they can check the problem. I told them it had two recently recalls and they said is has nothing to do with them . Andsaid it's going to cost me 1670 dls. Also, the display showed service advanced trac . When it happened.
Received power steering assist fault and was unable to turn vehicle. Searching online ford has recalled older models of the f150 but there are numerous complaints of this happening on several ford models.this is a serious, serious safety issue. Further ford is screwing customers over by not recalling these vehicles and making customers replace the entire steering rack at a cost of almost $2000.00 at minimum this should be included in extended warranties which it is not. Vehicle was reversing out of my garage when the fault occurred and it cannot be reset. The vehicle is now inoperable.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. When the vehicle was started, the power steering assist warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
While driving homethe power steering assist warning came on and lost all power steering. Was very difficult to steer. Had it taken to dealer was told this is common problem with the power steering just going out. Mileage was 59845 miles
Power steering made a grinding noise when the steering wheel was turned fully to the left.a warning regarding the stabilitrack system appeared on the dash.subsequently while i was driving on a street power steering assist stopped, resulting in very difficult steering.my mechanic scanned the computer and found that the steering angle sensor failed.
While driving power steering shut off and got a warning on instrument panel stating power steering assist failure. Stopped vehicle turned off engine, restarted and problem went away. Later in day while on highway same issue occurred causing very difficult to steer and control vehicle. This vehicle equipped with electronic steering assist and not hydraulic.
Just over 26k miles and for last month when starting my car in the morning it shows power steering fault on my dash.seems once ilet it warm for 10mins or so and restart the car it works again.
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.
61,000 miles power steering failed in motion fault on steering angle sensor not sold had to replace whole steering rack $2000.00now in motion transmission fault code p7031 first gear sync will not shift from second to first without bucking.

One day i went out to my vehicle and there was a warning light on said power steer assist fault, and the steering wheel was locked up. I took the key out and was able to restart it. About a week later i was pulling into my apartments and the light on the dash came back on, but this time it said power steering assist fault service vehicle. I have not been able to afford 2000 to fix this issue and i almost ran into someone when it just decided to lock up on me. Thank god i didn't have my child with me. There has been a recall on 2014 with the same thing, but yet i see a lot of the same issues online with this vehicle
After starting from a stop sign, attempted to make a left turn.the power steering failed, a fail was annunciated on the instrument cluster, steering was extremely difficult, the engine remained running.drove about 400 feet to a safe spot turned off the engine and parked the truck.when the tow truck arrived the driver started the engine and the power steering worked normally.towed the truck to a garage to have it checked.78, 700 miles on truck

On our 2013 f150 ecoboost, the power steering assist is an electric motor that is prone to failure.ours failed at 27,000 miles.losing power steering in a turn could be very dangerous as the vehicle is extremely difficult to control without it.furthermore, the differential of effort would lead a person to believe their steering failed completely. There was no real warning that the power steering was about to fail aside from some cryptic warning messages on seemingly unrelated systems.
Started having a problem yesterday with the steering catching on turns, it freezes up and is difficult to turn.had a mechanic look at it and he said the electronic steerinig assist is going bad.
I experienced a knocking in the steering wheel when driving over small bumps.. It feels like something is loose in the steering. It is getting worse in hot weather. Dealer said it is normal.
Service advancetrac light appears on dash, and then steering assist fails completely. Very difficult to steer, went straight and almost hit a cyclist. On a corner, cyclist to my right, truck wanted to go straight. Had to brake very hard to avoid hitting them.

Both front coil springs broke and steering shaft bad found on 09/22/2020 at inspection station
Steering vibrates/hums noticeably while driving, although it is not constant. Noticeable at low speeds, can't tell at high speeds. Concern from reading other reports that it is the epas steering system which is faulty. Had it confirmed at my ford dealer in december before my move to oklahoma.- they said i could drive it.
Steering is bad , when in motion
Ford f-150 prower steering assist failed resulting in a near death experience.making a left inalameda 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.
Experienced common epas failure multiple times.have experienced at high speeds, losing control of all steering.this issue has been well documented all over the internet, and is actually a recall in some ford vehicles, including the 2014.but they have not issued a recall for the 2013.this is a major concern and safety issue.i've received this issue when vehicle gets wet from rain or car wash.and i've also experienced it when hitting a bump at both low speeds and high speeds.such as a bridge deck seam on the freeway, pothole, rumble strips, gravel road washboard etc.when hitting these bumps, or when caused due to moisture, "service advance trac" message comes on dash, and all power steering is lost until vehicle is turned off and started again.not only is this an extremely expensive fix, it is extremely dangerous, and could put a driver in a life and death situation.this needs to be recalled by ford on all vehicles they manufactured with this epas system in it.

Hard steering control
First incident, exiting the highway, slowed down, suddenly had no steering control ond the dash lit up with "power steering assist fault". I barely avoided an upcoming vehicle as i attempted to merge and avoid hitting a concrete wall. I managed to manhandle the truck to side of the road. Stopped. Turned the engine off. Restarted. Problem gone. Second incident: 4 days later. Turned into my work parking lot, was maneuvering around some parked vehicles and suddenly same exact thing happens and i almost wrecked again. I shift the engine off and this time when i started it, it says service power steering system now. I managed to park it somewhat in a spot and it is still sitting there at walmart (my work) behind the dealership i bought it from. I did contact the service department and was told if i wanted to drive it in and pay 108 dollars that they would hook it up and diagnose it, but i just cannot afford to pay that right now. I have read online about recalls with the 2014 models for the same reason. As well as other vehicles with the same engines.seems like the 2013 should be as well. I am serious when i say i was in danger when this occurred. No control of steering. Extremely frightening experience.
Very noticeable popping/bouncing/knocking of steering wheel/column when going over bumps. Occurs at all speeds and all steering angles.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle loss power steering assist, made an abnormally loud sound and was difficult to steer. The contact stated that the power steering assist warning light and several other unknown warning lights illuminated.

Ford's electronic power assisted steering (epas) system failed while i was driving in traffic at a slow rate of speed.the steering was very difficult to manage the truck to the side of the road.i turned off the truck and re-stared it, and the steering was fine.the same event happened 3 times before i could get the truck into the shop for the $2,000.00 replacement.cannot believe that nhtsa has not recognized this as a systemic failure worthy of a recall.hundreds of f150 trucks are having this problem.only a brief amount of research on the internet reveals that this is a systemic failure issue.
The steering wheel anchor bolt 3/4 came loose, causing the steering wheel to rock up and down when slight hand pressure was applied to the steering wheel. This first happened when the vehicle was in motion on a highway. The steering wheel also could be rocked up and down while stationary with the engine not running. The repair cost for this was $208.32 excluding tax.
My local ford dealership is charging me $2000 for a steering gear that the internal module went bad. From my research, this is a very common issue with the 2013 model and is a recall on the 2014 model. Its an incredibly dangerous situation when it happens. You completely loose power steering and get 3 separate warnings on the dash. I came within inches of hitting another vehicle in a parking lot yesterday.problem is, its sporadic, you never know when its going to happen.i called ford and they, basically, told me its not a recall because there wasn't significant "injury or loss of life" from this issue....but, i guess there was on the 2014 and up models...this is outrageous!! this needs to become a recall immediately!hope you guys can look into this and, hopefully, save the lives that ford is needing in order to fix this issue.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
I have had the ford truck death wobble, i barely missed a head on collision because of it. This has now happened several times, it starts unexpectedly when going 55 to 60 mph and hit a slight pump or unevenness on the road the front end of the truck goes into to a severe vibration and wobble that rapidly gets worse and make the truck uncontrollable and vary dangerous. The only way to stop the death wobble is to immediately slam on the breaks and come to a complete rapid stop. I cant believe this hasn't already been taken care of by ford giving how many of us out here are experiencing this issue. When this truck goes into to this violent wobble it is vary difficult to control, i am a 240lb male and almost collided head on with an oncoming car, if my wife was driving this truck when this happened her and the people in the oncoming car would have most likely died!
Had a failure of the power steering assist with no warning indicators or tell tell signs of imminent failure while travelling. Evident while turning and difficulty increased as speed was lowered.
Intermittent power steering assist failure, results in a difficult to control, and potentially deadly situation. First happened at appx 20 mph while cornering, and momentary exit of lane into oncoming traffic until able to wrestle vehicle back into lane. I was on a curvy country road.
I have a 2013 ford f150 fx2 and when driving the past few days, the "power steering assist fault" signal came on and i automatically lose power steering in the truck. This has happened when starting the truck but also while moving and driving on the road (roughly 40 mph). Luckily, i was on a low traffic road to where i could get over however, this could be extremely dangerous on a busy highway. If my wife was driving at the time, she wouldn't be able to manually pull the steering wheel and get off the road and potentially get into an accident. Based on research, a lot of fords are experiencing this and action needs to be taken!
On 6/6/2021 i was slowing down to turn left into a strip mall and lost all power to my steering in my recently purchased 2013 f150 with 65,650 miles on it. This was only day 4 of me driving it as it was bought on 5/29/21. The battery warning appeared on my dash. I was able to maneuver my way into the parking lot safety, but this could have been a much worse situation if i was traveling faster, on a curvy road or needed to avoid something in the road (a child, tire, stalled vehicle). I was frightened for my life and fear this could happen again. Major safety issue not only for me, but other drivers on the road. The battery was not the issue and is currently at the repair shop being looked at.
While driving the steering wheel becomes extremely difficult to turn. This happens intermittently and so far has not killed anybody. I reported this to the dealer when i had the transmission shift programming recall done, and the service advisor wanted $130 + 10% shop supplies + tax to check it out. I am still under extended warranty, but he said if their were no eroor codes related to steering and if the steering shaft was not bent, there was nothing they would do for me.i declined to pay because the problem happens intermittently and cannot be reproduced on demand. This happens mostly when making a turn from a stop stop sign.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the transmission downshifted into first gear on its own, the rear wheels seized, and there was a loss of power steering. The vehicle veered to the right into a ditch and then veered back onto the road towards oncoming traffic. There was no crash or damage. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. Poage ford (1110 us-61 bus, bowling green, mo 63334) was contacted by phone and the contact was informedthat the parts were not available to perform the recall repair for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 47,423. *asconsumer stated after the downshift it seemed as if all electrical power also failed. Car was traded in.
Took my vehicle to ford dealership as i was having 3 warning lights come on & when i turned the wheel it made a loud noise.they took it for a test drive & when they returned the steering locked up & almost caused the vehicle to hit a building.the steering locked up which caused you to notbe able to steer.if this would of happened when i was taking my son to town we would of wrecked the truck.this should be a recall as the dealership told me that my vehicle is extremely unsafe to drive & they said i can't drive it.
I was driving down the road and lost all power steering resulting in almost wrecking into a gulley at a speed of 65mph
I was driving down the road at 55 mph and without warning my steering wheel all of a sudden got very stiff and difficult to steer and immediately 2 messages came up on the dash reading "service advancetrac" and " electrical power assisted steering fault". As i panicked to changed lanes and get to the shoulder i was almost struck by another vehicle by the lag caused by the power steering failure. Turning became very exhausting and tedious just to change lanes or turn the tires. I tried starting and re-starting my truck, but to no avail. The day i got my truck towed home, i parked it and have not touched it since, for i fear my life will be in danger if i drive it in those conditions again. I am aware of other recalls of previous and later model years of my same vehicle from other owners with the same issues. If this hasnt been brought to the attention of ford motor company, yet, i hope it does before some serious/fatal incidents occur, such as mine, becuase of this particular problem.
The service advance trac light came on wheni started up my truck forthe day. I lost all power steering control and the blinkers stopped working. My truck is a 2013 f-150 with only 38,000 miles. This is a serious safety problem that ford knows about and you, the nhtsa knows about the problem. It is time that something is done about this safety problem. Is everybody going to wait like gm did until thereare multiple fatalities before this is addressed? do something!
Takara recall steering almost locks up while driving (stuff)but only while making small lane adjustments
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the driver was involved in a crash due to the steering wheel locking. The driver was unable to steer the vehicle. The traction control indicator illuminated prior to the failure. A police report was filed. The driver was injured and received medical attention. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified and a claim was opened. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 72,000.
The contact owned a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated when her husband was driving the vehicle at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle gauges and rpms unexpectedly went into a lower gear. The steering wheel then ceased and the vehicle was unable to be controlled, along with the brake pedal failed to operate while shuttering and the lastly the vehicle crashed into a wall. The side airbags did deploy but the frontal airbags did not. The vehicle was towed to a impound lot after being totaled. A police report was taken. The contacts spouse was the only person injured in the crash. The husband sustained a back injury, numbness, tingling in his legs, and a concussion. The spouse was taken to the emergency room for his injuries. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, blinkers no longer work. When the first issues arose,problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic. At first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 99,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road. The truck is now not driveable!!!

76000 miles. Driving home and lost all power steering. Luckily close to the dealership. Limped in and they got it right in. The advance trac light was on and they checked it for over an hour. Finally, they said the epas system has failed and it costs $1900 to replace it!
The 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.
Complete failure of power steering. Multiple fault lights. Hill decent fault, advanced track service fault, steering assist fault, and a couple more.whole driving, i went you make a left turn. Turned the wheel about 3/4 around and it "popped" back to the right and then released allowing me to make the turn. Once i stopped the truck and turned it off, i started the truck again and went to turn the wheel but it would only squeal when i tried to turn the wheel. Would not allow me to turn at all. Turned the truck off again and restarted it. No power steering at all now. Dealer says probably around $2000 to fix. Very dangerous.
On 4/2/19 while driving at approx. 50 mph, all at once, the speedometer dropped to 0, air bag light came on, and the truck started running an idling rough. When we got to our destination we were planning on calling on someone to pick us up. We started the truck to move it out of the way, and it was back to normal. We drove home no problems. I drove the truck to work the very next day, 10 minutes away, ran errands, about 30 minutes driving, and went back to work. Still no problems. As i was getting ready to leave work, i hadn't been driving but a few minutes, then the truck all of sudden downshifted to first gear. I almost lost control. I was up to about 45 mph at this point. The back end of the truck kept sliding until it finally slowed down. Luckily i live in a small town with not a lot of traffic. I am not going to attempt to drive it again until out local dealership checks it out. I called the dealership and they have advised us to bring it there on monday april 8th, and leave it with them.
Power steering failed at highway speedwhile being driven by my wife, almost causing a serious crash. Ford has known about this problem for years and perhaps someone will be killed before a recall is initiated. An issue as dangerous as this should be addressed immediately, whether it is by ford, voluntarily or mandated by the proper governing authority.
135,987 mi. 2013 ford f 150 econoboost powersteering assit went out!notice a traction fault couple days ago and it went away after i shut off my truck. The steering never did this and it happened in a parking lot making a sharp left turn! and then while trying to drive out of the parking lot turning out to the intersection no power steering????just last year i had to replace my throttle body because my truck would go limp while driving! why isn't there a recal on the steering for this year?
Trouble with steering. Getting feedback in the steering wheel (noise and vibration). At times steering is difficult and not returning to center on its own. In motion, any road condition, turning and not turning any speed. After reading hundreds of complaints believe the problem to be the steering gearbox.
While driving i had an immediate loss of the power steering.it changed to manual steering without any warning.if i had been driving on the interstate or at a higher rate of speed i could have had a major accident. I see the ford cars are recalled for this same issue.i also noticed the 2015 has a recall for steering issues.apparently, the 2013 has issues also.this was a scary situation that is a huge safety risk. I couldn't drive the truck once i got it parked on the side of the road.i had to get it towed to the dealer for repair.ford will charge us about $1500 to repair it.
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.
50,000 miles my f150 steering wheel will not move.. I had to have my car towed at lowes parking lot..good thing we were not in the highway when it happend we could have crashed!
Knocking in the steering wheel while driving on smooth roads, felt mostly during warmer temperatures above 80 degrees f.most noticeable above 95 degrees f when driving on flat roads that require no counter steering to maintain the lane.taken it to ford twice and have been told once that the knock could not be felt, second visit to a different dealer the service manager felt the problem but the front end technician stated it is normal road feel.both front tires are wearing on the outer two treads as if the front end needed an alignment but both dealerships have checked the alignment stating it is good.very concerned about the handling characteristics of this truck, the same high temperatures also cause the truck to be very sensitive the crosswinds and passing vehicles.any malfunctioning steering problems should have the attention of the ntsb for safety concerns and certainly the consumer protection agency that needs to protect people who purchase vehicles with full warranties but who's problems are being ignored by manufactures.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 40 mph, the power steering default indicator illuminated and the power steering lost power. As a result, the steering wheel was difficult to control. The vehicle was taken to anderson ford of st. Joseph (2207 n belt hwy, st. Joseph, mo 65406) who stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall and the power steering box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 160,000. The vin was invalid.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the traction control light would illuminate and the power steering would suddenly malfunction. The steering wheel became very difficult to turn. The power steering failures occurred on multiple occasions and eventually went out completely. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electronic power assist assembly malfunctioned. The electronic power assist assembly was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Epas (electronic power assit sterring) sensor failed, electronic steering fails and acts if there is no power steering causing very diifficult manuvering. Ths could easily result in an accident or fatality. Several on-line complaints about it.
Power steering is starting to fail.the symptoms are difficulty in turning, wheels not returning to center after a turn, complete power steering failure.the biggest problem is that the epas system is married to the rack and pinion assembly so the entire assembly has to be replaced instead of just the epas.about a $2000 repair.i understand parts break but but having to replace a major part of the steering package is very poor design.
I was driving down freeway and went to exit and heard a sound with a warning light with advancetrac service and power steering default. I was unable to move my steering more than just a few inches left or right and stopped immediately. I had to get it towed to the dealership do to the steering was unable to function any longer.
Going down the road, when all of a sudden the steering got stiff and seemed to lockup. The next time i started my truck, the advance track and hill assist warning lights came on, and the turn signal will not stay on unless it is held down. I have quite driving the truck until it is fixed. It is hard to maintain lane control.
While driving my truck the power steering went out and the dash flashed power steering assist default. This happened 4 times that day and each time if i stopped and turned the truck off and restart itwould be fine. This happened randomly. Took it to the dealer and they act like they know what is going on but refuse to tell me exactly what. The say the rack is out. The 2014 has a problem for this and is under a recall but the 2013 they are making me pay and my extended warranty is refusing to pay. Sounds like ford know about this but are trying to cover it up. The dealer ship said it must be a big deal id they want the core back after replacing the rack.
While driving on interstate 81 near dixie caverns, virginia, while entering curve on interstate, the steering seemed to fail and would not turn. Impacted the guardrail and came to a stop. No other vehicles were involved. The system to alert 911 also failed. The horn honked for approximately one minute the side curtain airbags deployed. Truck was damaged on the entire passenger side. Inquired at dealership about steering problems with fords and was told there were none.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While attempting to drive out of a parking space, the steering ability seized and the power steering assist and service advancetrac indicators illuminated.

The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Electronic steering not working correctly very tight almost like it does not have power steering . Started while i was in motion .
An electrical problem in the epas unit has resulted in the loss of power steering in my 2013 ford f-150.vehicle has 63,000 miles and has no accidents and has not been subject to abnormal driving conditions.the problem presented itself when the weather became cold during the fall of 2019.when outside temperatures dropped below 65 degrees and i started my vehicle i received a "power steering assist failure" warning and the vehicle did not have power steering.testing over a 4 week period as the outside temperature fluctuated between 40-80 degrees allowed me to see the connection to the power steering failure and the outside temperature.additionally, when the outside temperature was close to, but did not exceed 65 degrees.i could start my vehicle and drive it around, the heat from the engine would warm the unit enough to allow it to work.all i needed to do was turn the vehicle off and then back on and the power steering would work.after reading about all the recalls ford has issued related to their epas unit i believe there is systemic problem with the part.additionally, this part cannot be serviced and requires a full replacement.part cost is $1500 plus 2-3 hours of labor.putting the total cost to repair at $1800 - $1900 in my area.
Keep getting service advance track warning which disables turn signal, truck must be turned off and back on bur warning keeps coming back disabling turn signal. Through research this is very common and dangerous.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While exiting a parking lot at 20 mph, the steering wheel seized to the left. As a result, the vehicle jumped the curb, drove on top of a pylon, and almost turned completely over. The vehicle was stuck and was towed to the contact's residence.

The manufacturer had not been contacted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 119,000.
Initially noticed subtle issues with steering while driving on a city street and interstate, followed by a warning message on my dash board stating 'power steering assist fault'. Power steering completely went out temporarily, leaving no option but to put the truck in park, and turn the vehicle off. Dealership stated the entire steering rack needed to be replaced due to this being an electronic system. When researching, it appears many other ford vehicles have had this issue, and not just with f150s. Other years were recalled due to this same electronic power steering design, just not my year. Appears this is the same faulty design.
Lost electronic power steering while driving.
At times when turning left the power steering will just stop. Have to force it back to center. Sometimes drifts to left also. This is covered by a recall for 2014 but not 2013 and they use the same parts.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized several times. There was no warning indicator illuminated.

The contact had not authorized the dealer to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 127,000.
Power steering went out while towing a trailer.almost went into a ditch at high speeds.glad me and my passenger didn't die.
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.

Power steering went out as i was driving
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 issue.
When i was backing my f150 out of my driveway i heard a loud squealing sound when i turned my steering wheel. This caused a stable trac light, a hill decent light, and a power steering light. I clicked on the ok button to clear all three faults on the dash because the truck seamed to working properly. As i drove to work a vehicle in front of me slammed on their breaks and when i went to react the power steering did not work. This is a very dangerous issue that could cause serious injury and or death to me and my kids. The power steering did come back and worked for a few days then it happened again when a car turned in front of me and when i swerved to miss a head on collision with my children in the truck the power steering failed yet again. I now have all three faults every time i start the truck and the power steering is completely out now. This condition is extremely dangerous if a younger person or someone that doesn't know what to do or have the physical strength to manually turn the vehicle when the power steering goes out without warning.
When i turn on and place the truck in drive, my steering wheel locks up to where i cant use steering wheel, i get a error on dash stating "assist power steering failure. I place truck in park and turn vehicle off, and restart and problem seems fine, until steering wheel locks up while driving and i get this same error. Ford dealer is charging me $2000 to fix this problem. This could cause a major crash. I believe ford should have this recalled and pay for this.
While making a left hand turn at approximately 15 miles an hour the power steering went out and i got a "power steering assist fault" warning. No prior warning of any problems that this might be about to happen. Fortunately one of my teenage daughters were not driving it. They would not have been able to make the turn. Took it to dealership and it was out of warranty due to mileage and not included in power-train warranty. And no recalls on this item, although through research i see there is one for the 2014 year model. The dealership has informed me that it will cost me 1800 dollars for the repair.
The front end shakes and shimmies @ lower speeds,say less than 50mph from the time we received it. I gave it some time and @ 543 miles i took it in . The dealership determined it was the drive shaft ,@ first it felt good, but it was my hoping it was the problem.so here we are, if they don't ,how the [xxx] am i suppose to know.the dealership never mentioned they was an issue with the front end. After reading online of the problems with front ends i haven't been back.so here we are......information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was drving my truck and with no warning or anything my steering became very very hard and had to take extra force to turn it the biggest problem was it happened ther morning i was coming back from vacation a 30 hour drive to get back home and be able to take it to the dealer to get it fixed it was very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 5 mph, the vehicle loss power steering functionality causing the vehicle to be difficult to steer. The contact stated that the service advanced traction warning message was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact spoke to wray ford (2851 benton rd, bossier city, la 71111, (318) 686-7300) and was suggested that the vehicle be taken in to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 197,000.
Electronic assist steering rack failed at 54,000 one owner miles, nearly lost control onfreeway. This is a known issue and defectthat ford has ignored.
My power steering went out going down the road almost pulled the truck out of the road. Almost caused me to crash
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel became very loose and started to move to the right and left on its own. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. The following day, the vehicle was taken to summerville ford (9700 dorchester rd, summerville, sc 29485) where it was diagnosed that the steering gear rack needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,880. Consumer stated the steering did not become very loose, it turned the wheels and tire to the left and right. Even after parking and putting the truck in park, with the engine running, i got out and went to the front of the vehicle and watched the front wheels turn to the right and then to the left, without anyone in vehicle.
The power steering on my truck intermittently fails and comes back causing difficulty controlling and navigating the vehicle.
2013 ford raptor super crew 27953 miles. Oil change 2 months ago. Oil life still at 69%. I went with the recommended ford motor company synthetic and ford motor company oil filter. I was on my way home from work about 10 minutes into my drive. I went to take off from a stop light and i got through the intersection and had an immediate reduction in power the truck was stuck at 1,000 rpms and would not do anything but slowly creep forward at 5 miles an hour. I limped to a lighted parking lot about a half block away as my low oil pressure light came on and a wrench icon on the dash. I shut it off and popped open the hood. I check my oil level transmission fluid level power steering level and everything was well above tolerances. I could find no problems and when i got back in the truck and started it, it ran fine all the way home. I just scanned the system and no error codes. The stop light road was at a slight downward angle and i had just below a half tank of 93 octane fuel. K and n air filter in stock holder. No other power train or engine modifications. Loss of power, power steering and decreased braking. It would have been very dangerous had it not been later at night.
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.
While driving my vehicle on a city street (speed limit 45mph), and while in a turn, my power steering abruptly failed causing me to almost crash. I was able to recover and continue steering using my body weight to assist in steering which was very difficult. The power steering would then begin to work again, however it would continue to fail intermittently, suddenly, and without warning. I was able to get an appointment at my local ford dealership where they informed me that my power steering unit itself was fine, however it had a faulty sensor that was causing the unit to intermittently fail. I was told that the sensor was unreachable and that they were unable to replace it, so i would have to purchase and have them install a brand new power steering unit. This cost me around $2000 to replace a power steering unit that was designed with an irreplaceable sensor.
The electric power steer in my 2013 ford f150 truck is failing to work properly. It doesn't seem to be providing an power assist at all at low speeds. When taking slow speed sharp turns(90 degrees) the steer seems to lock up and i have to apply alot of force to the steer wheel to get the truck's wheels to come back straight again. This is a very unsafe situation. I purchased this f150 new from sugarloaf ford in winona minnesota in 2013.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel in either direction, the steering wheel failed to return to the center position. The steering failure message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and operated as intended. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering gear was defective and needed to be replaced, along with the rack and pinion. The vehicle was not repaired. Matthews ford (175 east main, norwich, ny 13815) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Backing out of my garage i turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and the power steering made a noise and the advance trac warning and hill descent warning came on.as i continued to drive it each time the wheel needed to be turned to the left the same noise would occur and the steering wheel would resist turning.soon the problem increased to be both directions and i took it to the shop and they disconnected something so there isn't any power steering.this could affect someone driving and cause them not to turn.
When driving approximately 20+ mph and turning to the left, the steering wheel intermittently gets hung up when returning to center and takes some effort to get it to continue on. This only happens on left turns, no issue with right turns at all. The issue started being noticed approximately 8 months ago, but seems to happen more often now. Took it into the ford dealer and was diagnosed as an epas (electronic power assist steering) system that needs to be replaced. This is not a typical part that wears out and repairs are estimate at $1800. Vehicle only has less than 60k miles when problem started. In doing some research, this is not an uncommon problem with this make and model & can lead to serious injury if system completely fails while driving.
Electronic power assist steering quit working when driving.
My electronic power steering assist is not working.at a stop or lower speeds it is nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel.at higher speeds the steering wheel is still very difficult to turn or control.there have been several instances where the truck is very difficult to control and is extremely dangerous.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the steering area. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. In addition, the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train); however, the recall notice stated that there was no remedy yet. The manufacturer was notified. The contact felt that the manufacturer had not provided a solution other than replacing the same oem rack and pinion part that could fail again. The approximate failure mileage was 69,542.
76000 miles. Power steering lost. Limped to the ford garage and after 2 hours was told the power assist needed to be replaced - $1900.00!! really? 2014 models had the same problem but had a recall. Why not the 2013's? first time ever after owning many vehicles that i've had an expense like this. Ford? no more!! i could have got into an accident or even killed.

Traction control light came on i don't have power steering at all in my 2013 ford f150 eco-boost and i noticed when it's really cold outside i don't have power stering
Infamous ford death wobble for the second time on this vehicle. The first time was in the early period of ownership. It was fixed. In february, the death wobble started again. The truck has 182,000 miles on iit. I have spent $3,000 at goodyear getting most of the front end components replaced before they threw there hands up and could not fix it. I am presently $1,100 into repair at tomball ford. They do not know how to fix the problem. This is an issue with these trucks and i do not know why the nhtsa is not doing anything about this. It is extremely dangerous.

First of all my truck just now hit 30,000 miles. When starting the truck 3 days ago it gave us a display message of 'power steering assist fault' and we had no power steering to back out of the driveway. I turned the truck off, waited a minute then back on it didn't happen again. The next day it happened again while starting. Did the same thing of turning off waiting then back on didn't do it. Backed out of the driveway and while going down the street to get about 30mph it faults again and we can't steer. Stop the vehicle in the middle of the road, thankfully still in our neighborhood and turn it back on. Made it to work. Got in truck to leave work and it happened again. Same process turing it off and on. Got home. Then again this morning it happened again with the fault display. Turned it off and on again. But this time it did it twice in a row. And had to be turned off again. Took it in for a diagnostic and nothing shows up!! of course!! drove to work. Had to run an errand and it did it again when i started it then again while i was driving down the street about 20mph, thankfully it wasn't too busy, i put on my hazards and turned truck off and on and finished driving. What happens when it happens on the highway? do i need to crash and kill someone or my family and kids to get a recall? the 2014 is recalled that uses same parts so i'm not sure why these aren't as well. Included is the picture taken this morning when it did it again.
Rack an pinion defect.all over the forums same run of truck between 2011 and 2013 with traction and hill decent mode errors loss of power steering in bad situations like on highway.ford dealer acknowledged many complaints but ford will not honor repair.my blinker failed power steering locks up and ford says have to replace whole system
Driving down the road and a message pops up on the screen.it says "steering assist fault". It should have said omg don't panic and slow the truck to a complete stop and try not to die because you have lost all of your steering capabilities. I could not imagine if i was around too many vehicles or one of my children were driving the truck.this is such a major safety concern that all f150s with this potential problem should not be driven until repaired.with all of the safety measures and companies such as you guys why on earth is this truly life threatening issue allowed? apparently, the 2013 model is not part of the recall for this problem? there are many complaints and many easily found forums talking about this issue. There has to be deaths attributed to this issue.for what is worth the other issues are nonlife-threatening but noless annoying and should be recalled.i have two 2013 f150 fords and both have had their rear windows replaced due to the defrost breaking. The lariat has had it's replaced twice, twice! both trucks have had their sunroof guts replaced.one almost flew off the vehicle driving down the highway.complaints and forums galore talk about all three of these issues.
Wife made sharp left hand turn and power steering locked up!cleared and was fine ,for few days i was driving make left hand turn got, complete power steering assist failure! plus many other faults. Got to local shop was told was able to clear most faults, but not the assist fault! has to go to dealer being told it will cost over 2 thousand dollars .called ford was told out of warranty!wife could of been killed! ford wont do anything!!
The dash lights come on randomly when the truck is sitting with no key in it.the radio stopped working.the heat only works on low and high will not do anything on any other setting.the steering becomes twitchy while driving down the road.
After getting off of work at 1130 pm i went out to warm up my truck. After bout five minutes i went back out to leave got in the truck began to go home . To my surprise not far down the road when i went to go around bin(corner) my steering had locked up and i could barely move it. Luckily i didn't go off the road and didn't get into wreck or anything over this although it was still pretty scary. The dash would beep and flashed power steering assist fault. So i call someone to help me then get on my phone google in power steering assist fault and the year make and model of my truck and it shows me that there had been a recall on that product or whatever the case may be and this is obviously a repeated problem with this truck. Tried talking to the ford people and not only were they rude but was told it wasnt their problem basically cuz the vin number did not show the recall and i can take it up with the dealership. How can they just do that? there are several complaints on the same thing and i could have very easily been hurt as well as anyone else with this problem.
Upon start up, when leaving walmart parking lot hill descent control fault and service advance trac came on the display. I lost all power steering!!! after further investigation, this seems to be a common issue.. This is a major safety concern! if this happened at high speed in a corner this could be deadly!!! this issue needs to be addressed by ford! major safety issue!needs to be recalled....i am taking it to local ford dealer asap!
I was driving and without warning the steering became extremely hard to turn. If my wife would have been driving this vehicle she would have not been able to turn and possibly had a very bad accident.
Service advancetrac, power steering failure, hill descent control fault lights all come on and power steering has stopped working. Previously these would come on as soon as the trucks started, lights come one, shut truck off, restarted truck and lights went off. This has happened twice. Third time lights came on while driving and power steering completely went out while traveling down interstate.
2013 ford f-150 stx with 45k miles-- steering suddenly became difficult to turn and would briefly freeze up when city driving, moving at 20-40 mph. I took it to woltz and wind ford and found out that the truck had electronic power assist steering.an intermediate shaft was replaced at a cost of $428.further research on this problem has shown that there are many problems with this type of steering that can lead up to total steering failure and loss of control of the vehicle. I now am questioning whether to keep this truck that could cost me $2000 to fix when the rack needs replaced or possibly even cause an accident. Other ford vehicles with this same problem have been recalled so why has the manufacturers defect in this truck not been recalled?
I have lost all power steering while the truck is in motion.the service advance trac light comes on. I have had the steering gear replaced twice now and this is in the last18 months, each time costing over $1700. It is very dangerous as it has always happened while i am driving.there have been recalls for the same thing in other years and there are all kinds of complaints to be read.
While driving heard a noise then lost all power steering.
While driving the truck steering got locked making the truck unsafe to drive on the highway. We took it to the local ford dealer, who could not explain why this happened. The dealer also informed us that they had to replace the same part on other vehicles in guam. Also, ford has recalled 2014 f150s assembled in one plant for similar, if not same problems. We believe that this requires further research and an action need to be taken immediately before serious accidents happen causing loss of life.we did not get a satisfactory answer from the dealer. According to the dealer they brought it to the ford about this issue and informed them that they had to perform same work on other vehicles in guam.i appreciate if nhtsa take up this issue and investigate to avoid accidents and keep the highways safe to the citizens. Thank you very much for your understanding and time to look into this issue.
Steering is binding up during turns, both right and left. Feels like power steering has failed. Wheel does not return to center but must be steered back to center. No warning lights present took to dealer told me steering gear assembly needs replaced and there has been alot of recalls for this but my truck has not got the recall on this problem this is very dangerous and ford needs to fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed do to it...
The steering wouldn't move and none of the turning signals work.
Power assist failure
While driving, the steering seized up making the vehicle nearly impossible to control. Multiple warning lights: "service advanced track, power steering, hill descent assist". Dealer reports that epas system has gone bad/failed. I've read numerous reports on the steering/electric issue. This is a major safety concern and needs to be recalled. This truck is in immaculate shape and has 67,000 miles on it. Steering should not be failing. Please get a recall going on this before someone diesi also had a wheel stud/bolt sheer off two weeks back.

On 8/29/2020 i was driving my 2013 ford f-150 and i was making a left turn in a intersection and right when i was turning my steering wheel it froze up and became extremely hard to turn. I had to slam on my brakes and pull the wheel to the left with all my might and almost went over the curb. Luckily i was down the street from my home so i managed to to slowly take drive truck back home. After going online and researching the steering problem i found out that there are thousands of people who have had the same issue with there 2013 ford f-150's. Even other years of ford f-150 have had the same problems also. The 2014 f-150 have a recall on there steering systems. Ford has not to this day issued a recall yet for the 2013 ford f-150 but it has recalls for fusions and other 2013 ford models. This is very disconcerting to me because of the safety issue. Luckily i wasn't going 75 on the freeway around a curve when this happened or this could have been a catastrophe. Shame on ford for putting faulty steering systems in these vehicles and not issuing a recall still. I had to pay $2,000 to get the rack and pinion replaced and i am very disappointed that they make me pay for there faulty part. I do not feels safe driving this truck anymore and i will not buy another ford product in the future.

Serious vibration at or around 45 to 70mph . Steering wheel vibration , front end vibration . Usually around the time the transmission temp hits the normal temptruck starts vibrating . Usually starts at 40mph and gets worst with higher mph . Bought the truck back in nov of 2018 all was fine till about 2 months ago when the vibration started . Not very happy.
Electronic power steering (eps) seems to start to go out/off intermittently when making turns or driving straight.becomes extremely hard to control kind of like the old non-power steering cars.one minute your getting assisted turning (hard or slight), a second later manual steering, then back to assisted.when passing another car the eps seems to even not want to be consistent when i just slightly turn the wheel at high speed.again, it is intermittent but becoming more frequent.

I have a white paint job on my pickup, came that way from the factory.. Shortly after i bought it some tiny roundrust spots appeared on the whole truck. Fords "acid washed it" and the spotscame back. The same thinghappened on my 2011 ford explorer, they acid washed it twice because i was so mad then the spotscame back. They said it was environmental. Fords says it only happens on the white paint jobs, maybe because the other colors it doesn't show up. I am furious that fords lets this go and doesn't change something. It happened on my 2011 explorer as i said and now its the 2013s. Help me!!my whole truck has little rust spots all over....updated 02/22/17
I started my truck with remote start to warm up when i got in truck i turned the rear defrost on and my drivers side back glass shattered temperature out was 42degrees truck was in garage my little girl was in car seat in the middle what if glass would have gotten it her eyes just glade it shattered and didn't blow up.
Rear driver side passenger door will not open from either the inside or outside of the vehicle.
My brand new ford f150 svt raptor was in park at my residence and while i was standing outside my truck it started coming backwards like someone put it into reverse. My mother was in the yard and she is a witness to what happened. I had both of the doors open and while it was like someone had put it into reverse which no one was in my vehicle i jumped into the truck and tried to apply the brake it was too late. The truck while coming in reverse which the transmission was in park the drivers side door caught the pole on our carport and about ripped the door off. I called everyone under the sun with the ford company and they thought i was telling them a fib. I don't know what can be done about this but something needs to be done because it could hurt or cause a death to someone.....
I entered the vehicle at about 10 pm on 12/31/17 and started driving home. It was cold so i turned on the windshield defroster and the rear window defroster. About 5 minutes into my trip i noticed a light on the dash go on then off and was not sure which one it was then it flashed again it was the rear window defroster button. The next thing we heard a very loud pop like and saw the rear window shattered. It is a power slider just the section directly behind the driver shattered. I did some research and found out there has been numerous complaints about this very same thing. Next i will be going to a local dealer and making a complaint because from what i can see there has not been any recalls on this matter.what is it going to take to get a recall on this? i believe the ford motor company should absorb the cost for the replacement
My passanger side of rear window just shattered and scared my 11 year old daughter and i.it was about 23f in dover, nh at 10:50ami used the remote starter to start the truck before heading out with my daughter. The truck ran in the driveway for about 5 minutes. We both got in the truck and i started to slowly back down the driveway when we heard a very loud bang just as i was backing into the street. When i looked back i saw the passanger of the back window shattered.i came inside and researched what i needed to do to have this fixed, i saw hundreds of posts of the same thing happening to others. This is clearly a defect that ford is not taking care of!the truck is a 2013 f150 supercab with 26k miles it has the sliding glass window with defrost.
The back doors will lock and u can't unlock then. I've had this problem for a couple years. I've had both back doors lock on me for 3 days i could not open either. Than they unlock. I still have the right rear door locked . Safety concerns if you were involed in a crash and had passengers in the back they would not be able to get out. I never know when they will unlock
Vehicle was parked with both drivers side door open. I was getting something out of the rear compartment when a gust of wind blew the drivers door suddenly causing the bottom corner of the door to strike me on the calf of my left leg. I was virtually disabled with pain and stiffness for two days and gradually improved with rest. The whole left calf was yellowish purple. I am back to about 80% now and he calf still shows the bruising but i hope to make a full recovery. This is not the first time something like this happened with this vehicle but it is the worst. The doors almost seem like sails in the wind, even as low as about 15 mph. There seems to be no damping on door action as i have seen on some other cars. I can imagine if a child had been standing where i was, injury could have been internal or to the head. I had intended to copy ford motor company on this matter but they do not seem to have any way to send them email, and i wanted to have a copy of whatever i sent.
My vehicle is leaking from the roof inside my truck and getting my seats wet. It's obviously a well known problem because i've seen other 2013 ford f-150 owners complaining of the same thing. I called my ford dealership and they are aware that it's a known problem stating ford used inferior parts on the top strips that run along the top and down to the rear window. The dealer said i'd have to pay @ over $500 to get this problem repaired where they remove the entire back window and put new stripping on top that uses new screw package that doesn't break down and allow water to enter. I see that a similar report of this problem was entered on this site in 2013. It just so happens it took a longer time for my problem to occur due to having my vehicle being parked outside more.
2013 ford f150 raptor. Been reading about several 2011 to 2016 about the rear back glass defrost not working due to bacd contacts on the window or even shaders for no reason. I think ford should replace this if it fails. With the back defrost not working also makes the side heated mirrors not work due to then being on the same circuit.
Rear doorswill sometimes lock andcan't open them from inside or the outside of the vehicle,( even manually) then at random they will start to work again. We had the same problem with our 2014 ford explorer. This is a very dangerous situation, as having children in car seats and not being able to get them out.
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
Using the factory remote, i started the 2013 ford f150 for first time of the day 12/18/14 and entered vehicle 5 minutes later. Put key in column ignition. Did not touch any controls. With the transmission still in park, a very loud noise occurred. One section of the rear window / backlite had shattered top to bottom, edge to edge. The outdoor temperature was 24f, the heat setting was 67f. Vehicle was backed into driveway withgarage behind. Nothing could have hit the window from the outside and the vehicle hadn't moved, yet the glass practically exploded. There are dozens of very similar experiences shared on several internet forums involving years 2010 forward of the same model truck -- same generation. Ford has not created a tsb and there isn't a recall, and ford has made no indication that they will do anything about it. They referred me back to a dealer to document the damage.local ford dealer told me afterward that the rear window defrost turns on automatically with the remote start feature. Now driver visibility is obscured and i'm concerned about the safety of the electrical heating element. Reportedly fires have occurred with this situation. I won't be using the rear defrost under any circumstances -- even in northern illinois, in the winter. It seems most owners have been denied warranty claims because ford stated the damage was to glass, which isn't covered under the warranty. The glass isn't the problem, its the evidence.ford said it is up to the dealer to determine if the damage is due to a manufacturer's defect to get replacement under warranty. The dealer service manager told me they submit a warranty claim with photos to ford which will either approve or deny the claim. The dealer quoted $800.00 installed to replace the entire backlite assembly. The two different stories are troubling. I'm already preparing myself for the run-around.
Ford f150 xlt 2013. On multiple occasions i have noticed that when exiting the truck my right foot tends to brush against the interior hood release latch and occasionally triggers and releases the hood. I have experimented and it really does not appear to really require much force for the time of my right shoe to trigger the latch. Then when later driving the truck, i visually not that the hood has been released and have to stop and fully open the hood to close it. This has happened multiple times and i cannot believe that this is an isolated problem.otherwise the hood latch mechanism appears to function normally. I am afraid that one day this will cause a bad accident if i don't realize that the hood has been opened. It seems to me that the latch is located in a prone area and perhaps actually should require more tension to fully trigger the release.
At or aroung 500 miles on my brand new 2013 ford f150 svt raptor a message come up on the 4.2 incd lcd that read "check fuel inlet". I was at a gas station putting gas in my truck and while i was pumping gas i called harbin ford and spoke with a service rep. And told them what had come up on the lcd. The service rep. Told me to open the back door and look under the back seat on driver side and there should be a white funnel looking object about 6 inches long.i pulled up at my home and parked my truck under our carport which has 2 open walls and another to enter the carport. On the north end the carport is supported by 3 steel poles which holds the carport up which is attached to our house. I placed my truck in (p) park and left the engine running, my mother was outside about 10 feet from my truck. And i thought before i got in my truck that maybe i should try the funnel deal mentioned earlier in this description. So i just opened the back door because the front was already open because i left my truck running and it was in the (p) position but i got the funnel and opened the fuel door and started sticking the funnel in and out repeating several times. And about the 2nd or 3rd time sticking the funnel in and out of the fuel inlet my truck acted like someone had placed my truck in reverse and it started coming in reverse. My mother seen this and she screamed at me to get out of the way and i just seen a opening between the doors and i somehow ended up in the driver seat and i hit the brake and to disbelief i looked at the driver side door and it was almost ripped completely off and the driver side fender was also crinkled up from the door catching on the last pole exiting our carport. I looked over at the auto transmission and the truck was still in park?
The rear window shattered! after haven driven for an hour and a half in sub freezing temperatures, with the mirror defroster on, when i arrived at my destination i got out and closed the door and i heard a loud pop and the tinkling sound that shattered glass makes as it falls to the ground. It seems to me that the rear window and in combination with the mirror defrost system is a crude "open loop" heating system that works on a timer instead of a temperature feedback loop to control the temperature of the glass. The rear window defroster is also tied to the driver's side and passenger's side mirror defrosters, so when you turn the mirror defroster on the rear window defroster is also on.i have a cap on the truck so the rear window doesn't see as much cold air as the mirrors do, but all three stay on the same amount of time. There is a timer circuit that turns the defroster off after 10 minutes and the mirrors immediately frost back up once it turns off, so i hit the button and they come back on again. You have to do this every 10 minutes while you are driving in freezing temperatures or the mirrors are unusable. I don't use the rear window defroster, but i need the mirror defroster. So my theory is that because of the "cheap" design of the window defroster system, the rear window over heated to the point that the pressure developed inside the cab when closing the door shattered the overheated glass. The exact problem happened before on 01-29-2014!
The back window, on the drivers side, shattered with the defroster on when activated by the remote start function. It was 25f, i put something in the back of the truck, locked it, hit remote start and walked away for about an hour. I came back, opened the back door to remove what i needed and saw the window was shattered. The truck was sitting in a parking lot overnight and had not moved.

Total brake system failure as i was driving on residential streets.without warning, within one block vehicle went from having fully functional brakes to total brake loss.previous to failure, vehicle exhibited no handling issues, sounds, or symptoms to indicate that there was a problem.the vehicle was traveling approximately 25 mph when i touched the brakes.without warning a loud, high pitched sound started coming from the front drivers side of the vehicle.the sound lasted about 5 seconds.when the sound ended, the brakes did not function and when i pressed the brake pedal it went straight to the floor without resistance.all regularly scheduled and recommended maintenance had been preformed.as a result of brake failure, vehicle sustained damage to passenger side.the vehicle was towed to the dealership.avis ford dealership preformed the repairs.i asked the dealership if they were aware of any similar issues having been reported and they said that they were unaware of such similar reports.
On january 13, 2015 i was involved in a head collision with a 18 wheeler. The scenario was a two lane highway (hwy 67, lakeside , ca), there is minimal room for error and upon impact. I remember my brakes depressing completely to the floor board , yet as though there was no air lines. It has been a long recovery, which is why certain things are returning slowly. Yet, i remember that my brakes felt off or un-responsive before impact.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was water leaking from the vehicle's roof onto the seats. There were no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken four times to perry ford (440 hitchcock way, santa barbara, ca 93105, (805) 682-2411) where it was diagnosed that the water was entering through the brake light. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 16808179. The failure mileage was 27,000.
The car is experiencing extreme rusting along the rear wheel wells.
The rear end locks up when going around a corner.in a full cab and a 6.5 foot bed.
Moonroof guides/track. The plastic components fail on hundreds of thousands of these trucks f150/250/350+ford knows full well but sits on its hands. They refuse to sell a simple repair kit and charge $1200 for the entire moonroof assembly. Then 6 hours labor to take the headliner down and install. So over $2000 for something that really should only fail in a handful of vehicles. I've owned 5 different cars with these types of roof and never had an issue even after 10 years with a few of the ones i've owned.there are aftermarket repair kits that range from $25 for cheap off-shore kits to $119 for a us made kit. Ford is shirking their responsibility for a poorly engineered and manufactured part and basically fleecing these truck owners.
Rear drivers side portion of center slidingwindow shattered for no reason while the vehicle was parked, unoccupiedand not running. Topper is on the box, which rules out any sort of impact.
I heard a loud pop while driving and discovered one section(driver side) of my back window was cracked. It is a powered window with defrost.
Was driving vehicle with doors locked took a corner and the door lock failed and the door flew open along with a lot of personal items, then a few days later the other door did the same thing, the door latch failed and the door swung open! 2011 and 2012 ford f-150have a recall on this but ford says my truck does not!
Rear power window shattered with no impact damage found. Vehicle was remote started at roughly 5:00 am, ambient temperature was approximately 55 degrees fahrenheit. As i was exiting my house, the vehicle idling in the driveway, i heard a loud bang / pop. Sounded like a rock being throw at a body panel. I inspected the roof and hood at the time thinking something fell from a tree but no dent or object was found. At 12:08pm i took my lunch break and when at a stop light i looked in the rear view mirror to see the glass spidered but still in place from the window tint. I pulled over to take a look for impact damage but none was found. Upon returning to work, took pictures of the exterior glass in case of any coverage where evidence is needed. A quick google search showed that this seems to be a common issue and that it may be associated with the rear window defroster.i work in the automotive field, specifically a dealership service employee, and know when it is a defect or if there was outside influence and i can say without a doubt that this is a defect. Either in the glass itself or with the heater circuit / grid. This is unacceptable from a quality standpoint as well as from a business standpoint.

Turned on defroster this morning, drivers side rear glass shattered 5 minutes later. Traveling at 65 mph, expressway,light traffic and no outside influence. First thought ,after a loud pop, was that my truck had been shot at.
I'm calling this a safety issue due to erratic unlocking of driver door. Door when operated by remote to unlock, most times needs 2 actuations, of handle to actually open by user. My wife after shopping felt a presence and tried to enter our vehicle and was badly frightened when she could not enter immediately she pulled on handle without opening door and thought she had not actuated the remote correctly she preformed the action to unlock and had to pull door handle 2 times to enter and lock it to feel safe. He vehicle was stationary and i don't know if this fits the standard for a safety issue. It seemed like it at the time. Dealer wants a diagnostic charge to remedy which i thought was unfair vehicle has 82,000 miles
Body of the truck is rusting out over the wheel wells.
When i turned on the rear defroster my rear window shattered
Paint bubbled around the centre high mount stop light. Service advisor at galloway ford said it was rust and a common problem and would cost around $1200.00 to repair. Also advised that rust in this area is prone to reoccur. Dealer recommended i call ford customer support. Ford customer support said that this was "normal wear and tear" and refused to correct the problem. My vehicle has 62k miles on it and is washed and waxed on a regular basis. Nowhere else on the truck are there signs of rust. Vehicle was taken to collision experts in cape coral florida for repair. Collision experts stated that this was a manufacture paint defect and is a common problem around the high mount stop lights. The high mount stop light was removed, rear window removed, rear seats removed in order to properly repair this defect.this was an $800.00 repair.
On october 11, 2019 @ approximately 4::15pm i parked my vehicle at a local store to shop. I exited my vehicle and upon activating the remote door lock, i heard a loud 'pop' that sounded like something struck my vehicle. I performed a brief inspection of the exterior of my vehicle but found no evidence that the vehicle was struck by anything. Upon my return drive home when checking my rear view mirror, i then noticed that the rear glass window on the passenger side was shattered. Upon my arrival at my home, i inspected both the interior and exterior of the broken glass and could not find any indication that the glass was impacted by a foreign object nor did i find any possible cause of the breakage.
Upon using my remote start, and thereby using the rear defroster, the driver side rear window made a very loud pop sound while i was standing near my parked car.upon examination, the entire passenger rear window panel was shattered and spider-webbed.it appears to be a relatively common issue with ford trucks as of late.

My ford 150 v8 supercab at 32 miles per hour starts shaking the whole truck and vibrates. It does this regardless of road conditions and or gear the truck is in. It only goes away when you drop below 32 or go faster than 35.
I have had the ford truck death wobble, i barely missed a head on collision because of it. This has now happened several times, it starts unexpectedly when going 55 to 60 mph and hit a slight pump or unevenness on the road the front end of the truck goes into to a severe vibration and wobble that rapidly gets worse and make the truck uncontrollable and vary dangerous. The only way to stop the death wobble is to immediately slam on the breaks and come to a complete rapid stop. I cant believe this hasn't already been taken care of by ford giving how many of us out here are experiencing this issue. When this truck goes into to this violent wobble it is vary difficult to control, i am a 240lb male and almost collided head on with an oncoming car, if my wife was driving this truck when this happened her and the people in the oncoming car would have most likely died!
I purchased my 2013 ford f150 three weeks ago, certified pre-owned from mountain view ford in chattanooga, tn. While pulling out of my driveway this morning, the truck was engaged in 4x4h mode,(due to inclement weather)it started making a terrible popping noise that sounded like the front left tire was coming off as i was turning to the right. I pulled over and let the car idle for a while. I then kept driving and when going up a steep hill it started doing it again, so i pulled over at a gas station and the loud popping/banging noise happened again as i was turning left this time. It was so loud it startled the customers who were fueling their vehicles. Sounded like a piece of metal snapping in two. Is this related to nhtsa # 10058199? or ford tsb 44964? i had to disengage the 4x4h and put my truck back in 4x2h a to make the noise stop. We had icy roads this morning, which is the reason i purchased a 4x4 to begin with.

The contact was also concerned about extreme rust to the subframe of the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.consumer stated lots of mechanic issues with their vehicle and had parts replaced. There has been 7 occurrences.
From time to time the truck starts to shake violently and have to pull over and stop.it shakes all the time from the rear between 45 and 60 mph. Has been back to dealer 3 or 4 times with no results. The last visit i was told this normal,after some research there seems to be a lot of complaints about this.i have had this truck a yr and 1/2 put 10,000 miles on it because im afraid something is going to shake out of it.ford should be ashamed taking peoples money for trucks they cant use
Ford 2013 f-150 both front shocks leaking at 32,000 miles. Dealer states this is not normal and they need to be replaced. Warranty expired jan 2016. Extended warranty covers mcpherson strut but not the leaky shock inside the strut assy. Corporate ford states they will not warranty. Ford knows about this issue as they have released a tech service advisory about weeping struts.
The truck i bought has been shaking since the day i picked it up and brought it home. At 55 mph the truck has a distinct wobble. It has been back to sharpnack ford twice for the problem and i was told they drove four other trucks on their lot and they all do the same thing. Also they took the tires off of mine and swapped them with another truck with the same result. I was told they took the drive shaft apart and rebuilt it, still no fix.after two times back to the shop, i was told by the head mechanic that ford told him no more repairs will be done to this truck. I can see the bed wobble as i am going down the road and am confident this is where the problem is. Ford is not willing to do anything about it claiming the frequency is within specification limits. I have also driven a 2012 and a 2013 and both of them do the same thing.i'm not sure this is a problem that will cause imminent danger to anyone unless you factor in the"road rage" someone will have after paying 45k for a brand new piece of garbage that the manufacturer refuses to do anything about to fix.
While driving in a straight line under 40 mph i can feel a banging in the steering wheel traveling up the steering column it feels like the front of the truck is loose. This happens while driving on smooth roads as well as rougher roads, and is more pronounced when the temps outside go above 75 degrees and the longer i drive it the worse it gets, if it is a cooler day out it does not happen. Ford service dept. Wants to change out the lower steering shaft, but i don't think that is going to solve the problem. I know there are issues with the electronic power steering units in these trucks that cause these symptoms. I don't think a brand new $50,000 truck with 1600 miles on it should be having any problems.
I experienced a knocking in the steering wheel when driving over small bumps.. It feels like something is loose in the steering. It is getting worse in hot weather. Dealer said it is normal.
2013 ford f150 ecoboost supercrew (157" wb) when loaded exhibits pulse/bucking/shaking when taking off from a stop. Noticeably worse as more load is applied. Vehicle is rate with payload of 1500 lbs and it only takes 200-300 lbs in the bed to feel it and when you have 700-800 lbs it literally bucks. Had at dealer multiple times and been in contact with ford tech line who all say that no damage or safety issue exists and to live with it. I paid $42k for this vehicle and now i can't even put anything into the bed to to unsafe starts that are going to leave me stranded. To make matters worse the computer tries to compensate for the vibrations and starts to lower power causing it to not go which is dangerous in left hand turn situations. The tech said there was nothing they could do as ford states these are known issues.
The front end shakes and shimmies @ lower speeds,say less than 50mph from the time we received it. I gave it some time and @ 543 miles i took it in . The dealership determined it was the drive shaft ,@ first it felt good, but it was my hoping it was the problem.so here we are, if they don't ,how the [xxx] am i suppose to know.the dealership never mentioned they was an issue with the front end. After reading online of the problems with front ends i haven't been back.so here we are......information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Both front coil springs broke and steering shaft bad found on 09/22/2020 at inspection station

Since approximately 5700 miles, when i take long trips in the vehicle (30+ miles), the tpms light will come on with a message saying ?tire pressure sensor fault.? if i continue driving the light will eventually turn off and occasionally come back on in the trip. The light has always come on at freeway speeds. The truck has been brought into the service department multiple times without any guaranteed fix. The service department did replace a faulty, non-responsive tpms sensor, but the problem continues. The issues usually occurs at night, but has happened in the daytime.
All four tires are wearing out on the inside of the tire.. I bought this truck brand new and there is no reason the tires should wear out like this. This is my daily driver and i don't run off the road i don't drive terrible these tires are defective.
Noticed an "'s" shaped split on sidewall of michelin tire p265/70r17 113sdt m+s dot apkp ooex 4612. For family safety concerns replaced the tire at the dealer where truck was purchased and was charged full retail price with no offer of warranty consideration or proration.

The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 20,000.
2013 f150 ford parked outside on driveway.sunny with temperature roughly 32 degrees fahrenheit. Remote start used to warm up truck.walking out to truck when a loud bang/gunshot type of sound happened without warning.walked around truck and saw that driver's side of the power sliding rear window (3 sections) had started to spider crack.this part of the window then continued to crack until the whole section was spider cracked.(the sharp edges of glass were on the inside of vehicle window.) the vehicle was taken to dealer for evaluation but was told it is out of warranty.the dealer estimated replacement cost is $1,200-1,300 usd. (parts and labor).
Sitting in my driveway before i left so the truck was stationary and turned on my rear window defrost and heard a load bang, noticed the passenger rear panel of my sliding rear window window shattered.
One of the 3 rear windows simply shattered for no reason. Ford will not stand behind this issue that im finding is much too common. Th vehicle was not moving in my driveway. It was noticed the morning before heading to work.
Your web site dose not list a 2013 f-150 when i do a manual search f-250 f350 but no f-150.
Got in my car at 9:30 pm. I had auto started my car. I entered the vehicle, inserted my key and then the driver side of my rear window shattered with a loud explosive pop that startled me. I was stationary at the time, thank goodness, or i might have driven off the road. After some research, i noted that there were others who had the same issue. That is why i am reporting this to you.
My vehicle was in motion on the interstate traveling at about 65 mph and my vehicle did an unintended downshift to first gear almost costing me my life. Cars managed to miss me and i narrowly made it to the shoulder to a safe place to recover. The car continued to jerk in similar fashion as attempt to exit the interstate to get to a service center. The vehicle was unable to safely make it to the nearest ford service center so i called a tow through geico roadside assistance. The tow took me to auto nation ford and there they explained to me that the issue i experienced was due to a recall that they are currently fixing; however, when they saw that i had a 2013 ford f150 model, he immediately apprised me of the fact that ford did not have the software yet to reprogram the powertrain control module to prevent the unintended downshift. The representative then told me there was another recall in the system for this vehicle that he could do, but it would not remedy the initial situation. My vehicle is not drivable and i asked when ford would have a remedy for this. He stated that it was supposed to be this current quarter, but they had not received the information to do the reprogram. Now, i am without a vehicle due to no fault of my own. I think they should give me a loaner or pay for a rental car, because they have no timeline as to when this recall remedy will be available.
This morning at about 5:30 am i left to go to the gym and had no problems with my truck. I get home about 7:00 am grab my stuff out of the back and no problems with my truck. Before leaving for work about a half hour later i auto started the truck. I get to the truck to leave for work and i notice my driver side rear window is completely shattered! i did a little research and come to find that this is a reoccurring problem with ford. Either there is a defect with the window or with rear defrost getting to hot or staying on to long. There were little bits of glass on the seat, what if someone was sitting in the back and the whole window shatters? this is not safe and needs to be fixed!
The lines on my back up camera stopped working, but the camera still works
Wrench (check engine) comes on for unknown reason and vehicle looses all throttle ability! has come on 7 times. Has occurred driving at 25 up to 65 mph.today i was in the fast lanewrench came on and shut down throttle. I managed to cross 3 lanes in traffic. Each time this has occurred i've stopped and shut off the engine. The restarted & runs fine. Taken to ford as well as private mechanics but no codes saved. Has happened 6 times. Ford told me they cant fix without a code.
Sunroof fails to close*doesn't engage in to fully seal/locked position. And re-opens. No possible way to manually close without removing headliner. Vehicle was stationary one returning home and engaging close switch to sunroof. Now security and weather tightness is compromised.

I have also driven a 2012 and a 2013 and both of them do the same thing.i'm not sure this is a problem that will cause imminent danger to anyone unless you factor in the"road rage" someone will have after paying 45k for a brand new piece of garbage that the manufacturer refuses to do anything about to fix.
Sunroof explosion. While driving with my family on i-75 the sunroof suddenly exploded. Fortunately the cover was shut or glass would've flown into the truck. There was no overpass or cars nearby. The photos show the glass exploded out, not in as would happen if something dropped on it from the sky. It sounded like a bomb went off. The sunroof is completely shattered.
The night i picked up my truck (3/4/19) it lost signal to output speed sensor before i got to the intersection of route 30 and 340 and was stuck in fifth gear the whole way home. The truck has been losing speed sensor signal and locking itself in either third gear or fifth gear repeatedly all day long ever since.today (3/11/19) it shifted to first gear while going 55 mph and put the truck into a slide/skid twice - both times in traffic, once put me into oncoming traffic.
When entering onto the interstate i felt the truck was not getting up to speed. I then noticed on my dashboard a big wrench. I felt my truck continue to not gain speed even though i was stepping on the gas.the screen then went black and and when the dashboard came back on i had nothing showing. No mph ,fuel economy, etc and i was stuck in 5th gear.i could not increase speed but only decrease ifi stepped on the break.i don't know how fast i was going but it was not fast at all since everyone was passing me(maybe 40 mph).i also noticed my airbag light was on. I had to pull over on the interstate and restartmy truck.once i did that everything came back on and worked for the rest of the ride. I was recently part of a ford recall but had that fixed.i had the automatic downshifting happen to me 3 times before the first recall was in place. I just got a letter last week that they need to redo the recall, i had the downshifting happen to me and this was not it. This is a entirely different safety issue that is making me afraid to drive my own truck since most of my time is on the interstate. Photos are attached of what was happening to me on the interstate.
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.
Air conditioner has chemical smell when turned on... Inspected by ford pag oil to be leaking from the evaporator core behind the dash.
I have a 2013 ford f 150 limited 4 x 4.i lost my brakes twice while traveling on the freeway in the first 4 months of ownership.on jan 13,2014 with approx 849 miles on the od i had no brakes.after letting the vehicle sit for 8 hrs, magicially i had full brakes function and could drive to dealership for repairs.onapril 3, 2014 with approx 2517 miles on od, my brakes failed again without warning on the freeway.i let the vehicle sit for 8 hours and by magic the brakes worked as normal.i believe there is a corrupted program in the vehicle computer and the abs computer. The first loss of brakes, the vacumn pump was not hooked up at the factory.the brakes should never have worked.but they worked perfectly for 3 weeks before failure.the dealership hooked up the vacumn pump.the second time, the ford factory instructed the dealership to replace the vacumn pump.to add insult to injury.ford wanted to keep my vehicle and drive it every day till it failed for them.i still had to pay for the lease.no financial help from the factory or dealership.
Truck was parked in the driveway. When i started it in the morning, the rear defrost light did not tun on after pressing the button, then the rear window shattered.
On the ford f-150 pickup truck with the "xlt chrome package" the build up of snow and ice on the running boards thrown up from the the front tires can, will and does pose a very real possibility of leg, hip, back and neck injury with the possibility of death or paralysis from striking ones head against the running board.all pickup trucks with running boards and no front tire mud flaps feature the same unsafe conditions endangering hundreds of thousands of vehicle owners and passengers living and driving in wintery conditions.this same problems have no doubt already caused injury to thousands and been the cause of deaths or paralysis in others over the years.unless there is some form of intervention in this unsafe sales tactic, the n h s a, ford and other truck makers will be condoning these injuries and deaths, no part of a vehicle, neither standard or dealership installed extra should be exempt from basic safety standards.front wheel mud flaps should be required on trucks with running boards, regardless of country of origin at no extra cost to the end buyer.
This truck was driven daily and has been owned since new.no aftermarket accessories, all stock.the truck was parked in my warehouse over the weekend.when i returned on monday morning i found the dashboard burned and melted, airbag deployed, and headliner scorched.i believe the airbag extinguished the fire and kept it from spreading outside the truck and possibly destroying my business.the truck has not been inspected by anyone other than mechanics working on quotes to repair it.the truck is still at my business and available for your inspection.there were no warnings of any kind.
I was driving and made a right turn and the power steering gave out for a few seconds. Then once i straightened back out i could not reproduce the problem. This has happened several times but can happen when turning either way.
January 28, 2019 rear electric sliding window (3 piece unit) shattered for no reason. No one hit it, throw anything at it, or shot it. The sound does sound like a someone shot at you. The truck was sitting in the drive warming up as usual (electric start), get in, close the door and boom the driver side rear window panel shatters. Take it back to the place we bought it and they told us there was nothing they could do. Warranty would not cover either. Safelight ordered us a window, installed it, and proceeded to tell us that this has happen to many ford trucks before.we were dodge truck people until the air bag recall, changed to ford and this happens, whats next? this seems like a big problem when ford has numerous people complaining about the same problem all over the u.s. This has happened once, will it happen again? i sure hope not. If it should happen when i have my children with me or my elderly parents with me, god forbid they should get hurt by glass, i will be suing. Or even cause me to have an accident while driving.
On 12/31/18 i was operating my vehicle listed in this complaint. Whileoperating i had the rear defroster activated. I arrived home and backed into to my driveway. While reversing i heard a loud pop come frommy 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.
After using rear defrost, left side of the rear window shattered with a loud pop, sending bits of glass onto pax in the back seat.after reading online this is a known issue with this model of truck and needs to be a safety recall.
We were driving on a highway at 65 mph.suddenly the speedometer needle dropped to zero, then the transmission shifted into first gear, causing the rear tires to lock up and start skidding.within 2 seconds the speedometer needle went back up to the correct speed, the transmission shifted back up, and the truck continued on with no further issues.there were no warning indicators or errors displayed on the dash and the obdii scanner showed no error codes at all.ford has already issued csp 19n01 for this exact situation, but to qualify the vehicle has to receive a specific list of diagnostic codes (which our vehicle got none of).i don't understand how this hasn't been declared a recall.if it had been raining, or we had been in heavy traffic, the locking up of the rear wheels would have likely resulted in an accident, and at highway speeds it could have easily resulted in injuries or a fatality.
While driving on the interstate at approximately 55 miles an hour on straight road at steady speed without warning the truck began to lurch jump and lose power, regain power and losepower.i noticed that the speedometer was very erratic and i had a light flashing on the dash as well. This pattern repeated until i eventually had to pull off the side of the road and restart the truck. It drove correctly the rest of the way home after that.
Reported this problem before and now it getting worse it was just the transimission shifting from high gear 6 at 70 mpg in cruise and when i tap the breake peddle to disengage the cruise it dowm shifted to low 1 and the rpm went from 2500 to 6500 and stay in low until i came to a stop then everything went back to normal it now also blown transimission lines and wheni take off from a side street of stop lightit will take off ok then about the time i reach the center of the street it will sfift into nuteral i can step or pump the gas peddle but nothing happens it just goes into a slow role after 3 to 5 sec it then jumps into gear and takes off normal again also at slow speeds you can hear and feel it clunking into and out of gear and with a metallic sound some timesonce in the snow had it in 4x4 at parked it and turned it off the next day i back it out of the drive then shifted it into drive then the transfer caseshifted it out of 4x4 and it sounded like 2- 8 lbs sledge hammers smashing together and jarring the hole truck this in the beginning has only happen a few times but i was on the freeways at hi speeds i dont drive it on the freeways now and because the dealer ships want a $100 each time i take it in for the same problem and they dont do anything and plus i paid eatra for the platinumwarrenty so if i have to leave it i get aloner and i have even been able to get a loner even when it took them over a week to install the transmission lines after they blow out from stop and going in on residential streets also when the trucks shift from high to low you can hear the solenoids shifting all overe under the dash floor infront of the seat along with the dash light flashing even one with a eng with a trans attached

"takata recall" my ford f150 truck 2013 was purchased in 2014 brand new. In 2017 january i had the sparks plugs changed and now again in april 2017 my mechanic has said that the sparks plug needs to be changed. I believe and gathering from what my mechanics is saying there is a problem with the coil? which is why the sparks plug in black for the second time. This all started from a problem with the brakes the tried flushing the breaks and same thing than they looked into the engine and changed the sparks plug (jan) now in april same issue. Need help this is costing me money.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the engine suddenly shut off and was difficult to restart. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the 20 amp fuse #27 had burned and was melted. Franklin ford (175 east central st, franklin, ma) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 106,300.
Ford used cheap plastic tracking for their moonroofs.these components are now failing regularly creating an issue with water leaking into the passenger compartment adversely affecting electrical components and potentially airbags. Once the track system is damaged, the moonroof will not seal/close.this fault happened on my particular vehicle while the truck was in motion.
The truck wheels locked up and engine shut off while traveling at approximately 40 mph, coming to a very sudden stop. Truck would not restart for about 5 minutes. During this malfunction the truck is completely uncontrollable. This happened two more times and was at a dealer for diagnosis for several weeks. Unable to find anything, it was returned to us. The same thing happened again, this time causing an accident because the truck hit a guard rail.
I took my truck into red mccombs ford in san antonio, tx because i had issues with my transmission. I can be driving and it would rev up to 4k rpm without my foot on the acceleration. There are times when i'm driving and it drops into 1st and jars me when it bogs down. Took it in and we paid almost $1000 for repairs to fix it since i feared for my safety. It felt like i had no control of my vehicle. That was in sept 2018..here we are march 2019 having the same issues. I tried taking it in, but they did not have the offer of a loaner vehicle while they fixed again, so i have had no choice but to drive my truck still. I love my truck...but this is scary driving like this. I don't have a choice because i have to get to work daily. I need a reliable vehicle per i had major surgery last sept and have had 2 emergency room trips since and cannot afford to get in a wreck or have my truck go out with my health issues. I'm afraid all the jerking is going to cause me issues with my back and safety of my family. I have had to pull over and restart truck to get it to quit revving up, and not rear ending someone.
Rear glass shattered due to defroster issue during remote start. This issue was not do to human error and solely the responsibility of ford motor company's defect in the rear defroster/glass
While driving down straight road at 30mph, left rear window shatters with no explanation. Rear window defroster was on and had been on for approx. 5 minutes prior to shattering. No bumps in road or road debris.
Vehicle has outstanding safety recall nhtsa# 19v075 (manuf recall# 19s07). Repeated attempts to schedule recall with local dealers failed. Dealers either did not respond or says they will "get back with you". Contacted ford and they sent email stating that they will get it taken cared of, then nothing. Follow-up emails go unanswered. Been trying to schedule this since april. Please help.
Back window shattered when remote start was turned on.
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.
I am having trouble with my eco boost because when i start my truck i have a loud rattling sound then my truck loses power and shakes alot like a compression leak
Upon excellaration and while cruising at higher speed's my vehicle will down shift automatically from 6th gear to third gear causing my rear wheels to lock. I receive a wrench sign on the display the speedometer stops working, the drivers air bag light comes on and the vehicle stays in this gear until i stop and turn off the vehicle and turn it back on. Also at times while driving the vehicle will shift on it's own while driving a constant speed from 6th gear to 4th gear, to 5th gear and back to 6th all while driving at a constant speed.
I was on my way home from mt on the interstate and heard a loud pop and then saw a small black piece in the rear view mirror. I then heard noise from the moon roof, i pulled over and discovered that the moon roof exploded , nothing hit it!
The transmition when driving will suddenly shift down to 1st gear then 2nd gear. It will get stuck on 2nd gear. This happened 3 times to my vehicle. 1st time was at traffic light accelerate then suddenly it shifted down from 5th to 1st and 2nd. At the same day i was driving on a highway and the truck shfited down from 5th gear so fast i thought i got hit by a car. I had 2 more dangerous incidents. The second one was in motion going about 60 mph. The third one was in motion going about 30 mph.
The windshield washer nozzle freezes shut. Fluid in the reeavor is ok and the lines going from the resevor to the nozzle is soft and not frozen. The fluid is protected to -35 and the temp was only -10. My friend has a 2014 f150 and it does the same. It's dangerous cause we can't clean the windshield. It happens if the veh is moving or not.
Neither of the rear doors open from the inside or out if the truck has been double locked with the clicker remote. This is not an isolated incident and it takes several days for the locks to reset and the doors to open.
Vehicle stalls while driving and won't restart for hours. This has happened 3 times since may and twice since september 2018. Each time it has been taken to a ford dealership and the ford dealer says that they can find nothing wrong that can be recreated. I have stalled out on an 8 lane highway. This was an extremely dangerous occurrence. I recently had the entire truck serviced, from oil change to throttle body cleaning to spark plugs to transmission cleaned, axles cleaned. All of this was done mid august 2018 and still has not fixed the issue. I have 102,367 miles on my vehicle. When i looked to see if there were others with this issue, i found that there were many and that ford is refusing to issue a recall to repair this extremely dangerous and hazardous malfunction. I am sitting on the roadway right at the moment, waiting for aaa to tow my truck to the dealership.
I have a 2013 ford f-150 super white has 160,405. The timing chain needs to be replace i have seen plenty of comments online about people timing chain going out is there a recall on this problem.
Heading east on hwy 18 at 55 mph between cobb and edmund wi, which is a very straight, smooth section of highway, i heard a very loud bang.i thought i must have lost a chunk of ice underneath the truck, but it was so loud, i was skeptical that was truly it.my rear window defrost light flickered on and off a few times during the drive, but i didn't notice until i got to work (about 8 miles later) that the rear window on the driver's side was completely shattered, but still intact with the frame. Immediately drove to the dealership where i was told they've heard of this, but there is no recall.i have a friend who owns a body shop and he suggested i cover the shattered glass with crash wrap, so i took it there and they did so. If i had a child in the back seat, they could have had hearing damage from the loud pop that occurred.i'm very upset that they are aware of the problem, which has persisted over 7 years according to research, and have done nothing to remedy the situation or provide compensation for repairs.
On september 7, 2015 while turning onto traffic the truck locked up in first gear and will not shift even though the accelarator was being pushed.the truck was jerking but will not shift gears.rpm and speed remained the same as well.this is the fourth time it happens and i have taken in to the ford dealership where i bought it but nothing is done.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the door locks on the vehicle failed and could not be unlocked.the door was able to unlock the next morning.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 81,000.
I used the remote starter in the morning to warm up my truck. As i entered the driver side door and sat down i heard a loud pop almost like a small gun fired. Shortly after i could hear the crunching of the rest of my back window shattering. I could also smell smoke inside the vehicle. After checking on line it seems this is a common issue with the rear de-froster.
At approximately 50 miles per hour the vehicle shifts from 5th gear to 1st gear locking the rear wheels the vehicle then has to be shut off and restarted to proceed other times when leaving a stop the vehicle will not shift out of first or fifth gear when speaking with ford customer service they say park the vehicle they may have a fix in june
Turned on rear window defogger. After 4 minutes of operation, left section (behind left rear passenger) of rear window exploded (shattered) with loud bang. Local ford dealer says issue is not covered. Internet research says this happens routinely.

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.

My moon roof does not close all the way.when googled there are thousand of hits with the same complaint.also people complain about the glass shattering.the vehicle was in motion and this appears to be a manufactures defect.
Se oye un ruido metlico corriendo en autopista luego de las 55 millas. Cuando sube una cuesta en 1 y cambia a 2 al hacer fuerza en ruido se oye sumamente fuerte. Lo evalu un mecnicocon un equipo electrnico y no encontr ningn defecto en los sistemas. No presenta ninguna otra cosa.
Put truck into park to help truck ahead of us unload bed. Our truck was in park with engine on, within 3 min truck began accelerating and crushed body in between two trucks. Had to press breaks (car still rolling) shift into reverse, back into park before car would stop rolling then went into reverse.
Rear glass shattered while vehicle was parked. Nothing impacted the glass. Glass is still intact in the vehicle. Hate to think if a child was in a carseat and the glass all fell out on top of them. I have read numerous complajnts about this happening and that ford has denied any responseability. It is defenitly a problem
There was a loud "boom" while parked in my truck. After exiting vehicle to inspect. The driver'side rear window was completely spidered. It is a power sliding rear with rear defrost. It was 5:30 a.m. On 2/11/2016. Temp that morning was 15f. I park between two buildings, and there was no one else at work yet. Vandalism can be ruled out. Seems to me to be an obvious defect in construction, or design. I am glad i was parked22 and not going 70 mph on an expressway. This could be a major safety issue with truck in motion and/or a passenger riding in the back seat.
Vehicle does not get posted hwy mpg. Window sticker states 21 mpg on a 250 mile trip all hwy the average mpg wa 17
My passanger side of rear window just shattered and scared my 11 year old daughter and i.it was about 23f in dover, nh at 10:50ami used the remote starter to start the truck before heading out with my daughter. The truck ran in the driveway for about 5 minutes. We both got in the truck and i started to slowly back down the driveway when we heard a very loud bang just as i was backing into the street. When i looked back i saw the passanger of the back window shattered.i came inside and researched what i needed to do to have this fixed, i saw hundreds of posts of the same thing happening to others. This is clearly a defect that ford is not taking care of!the truck is a 2013 f150 supercab with 26k miles it has the sliding glass window with defrost.

Intermittent rear defroster on occasion. While sitting in driveway attempting to get rear defroster to operate the back drivers side glass shattered. Sounded like a bullet/rock hit window but impossible due to direction of window as it was facing the back of the garage. Seemed odd but when i investigated through my dealership they claimed to have heard of the rear defroster causing this but because it was glass and not covered to contact ford. I contacted ford and they advised me that no records of anything like this were on file and that there was no way to prove that the window was broken by the defroster thus it was not covered by my warranty or extended warranty. Since this is a power three glass window with defroster it will need full replacement at a cost of over $1000 with no guarantee it will not happen again.
Timing chain stretch on 2013 f-150 fx4 damaged engine. Ford issued service bulletins in 2014 but have not recalled vehicle.

On tuesday 01/09/2013 husband was driving into work heard a loud pop sound.looked back and noticed that the rear driver's side window was shattered.
Shortly after turning on the rear window defroster the rear window shattered, nothing hit it. It's like the defroster shorted and got too hot and blew the glass out.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving, the rear window exploded without warning. The vehicle was taken to performance ford lincoln (906 nj-10, randolph, nj 07869) and the contact was informed that nothing could be done. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

Power rear middle window shattered when truck was sitting still in parking lot. Rear window defroster was on while driving truck. Windshield wiper come on every twenty seconds with switch in off position
Remote started my pickup on a cold morning. Doing this it automatically turns on the defrosters and the one in the rear window. Was driving to work and hear a loud pop. Wasn't until that night that i noticed that loud pop was a rear window shattering. Something with the defroster in the back window malfunctioned causing the glass to shatter. In pictures you can clearly see that no object struck the window because there is no indentations.
Recall been fixed but its still shows as opened in the system
Now the second time in and the truck doesn't even have 50k miles on it. Truck would turn over but not start and left my wife and kids stranded in a parking lot where i had to go get them. It's hot as heck in june/july in texas so i know it isn't a cold weather start thing. Researching online we are not the only ones with this problem. Eventually leaving it there and messing with the key and ignition switch i'm assuming it started after a few hours. The truck was not over heated.
I remote started my truck with the factory remote to warm up the vehicle in my drive way. I start to put my child in his car seat in the left rear side. As im putting my child in i can smell something burning and i can see smoke coming out from behind the seat. I immediately take him out of the truck and turn off the vehicle. As soon as it turns off i hear a loud pop noise almost like a firework going off. I see the rear window is now shattered with pieces of glass falling on my child's car seat. Defroster seemed to burn the trucks rear seat and caused the window to shatter. I did a internet search and found that this is a common issue with the window defroster over-heating and causing the left rear window to shatter. I've reported this issue to ford within days of this happening and have not heard back from them.

Tsb 14-0017 intercooler humidity issuethis should be a recall issue
I received notice of recall to schedule repair (software) upgrade. I contacted the dealer several times to only be told to keep calling back to see if they have received the software upgrade from ford. They said there is no problem with continuing to drive the truck until the problem is repaired.
Serious vibration at or around 45 to 70mph . Steering wheel vibration , front end vibration . Usually around the time the transmission temp hits the normal temptruck starts vibrating . Usually starts at 40mph and gets worst with higher mph . Bought the truck back in nov of 2018 all was fine till about 2 months ago when the vibration started . Not very happy.
The truck has a 3 pane, power slide, and defrost rear window. The rear window on the passenger side randomly shattered. The window itself did not fall out and didn't visually have any marking suggesting a forced entry or impact. The vehicle was stationary in a parking spot all day while at work. The truck was also back up to a wall so it is very unlikely that anything could have hit it. The truck was parked directly under a security camera and after review of the footage, no evidence was found as to what could have caused it. The window itself is still intact (as shown in the attached picture) like the outside layers are holding it together. The weather that day was very cold in the morning and got relatively warm throughout the day. I noticed the broken window at the end of the day when leaving work. This window is being repaired this coming monday for $699 + tax so i do not have any copies of the invoice yet. My insurance also had a higher deductible than what this is going to cost so i chose to cover it out of pocket.
I have a 2013 f150 and have a loud noise coming from the engine. After my mechanic looked into it he said it is the timing chain rattling at start up. The truck has only 52000 miles on it. Barely broke in and now has a rough idle and loss of power when driving. My mechanic came up with 4 different codes showing camshaft and crankshaft position correlations. Turbo charger under rest. System to rich bank 1 & 2 and misfire detected at start up. This is a 2013 truck with 52000 miles and ford is telling me it probably isn't under warranty and could cost around $3500 or more to fix. I see they have had problems with this same issue with the 2011 & 2012 f150s. Internet is full of this same issue. How can they get away with it for 3 years and no recall?
Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinderengine. Has been numerous reportswith others but ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but i'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks nhtsa.
Started about 1 1/2 months ago, while driving at speed, vehicle felt like it shifted into neutral. Did not happen again til the next week. Then was taking off at a light and it had no pick up. Took into shop, no codes in computer, topped off transmission fluid. $97. Following week went to pass a vehicle and the truck lost power and started to shake, engine light flashing. Brought back to shop. Still no code, but they changed spark plugs and fuel system flush. $440. Was driving down the road rpm up to 3000, would not change if i pressed on gas or not, transmission shifting from 1-3 in random order. Felt like brakes were locking up. Driving 50 mph, rpm to 5000, speedometer from 50 to zero back to 50, brakes lock up. Pulled over, shut off truck, restarted no problem. Took to dealeri bought from, no codes could not help. Took to ford dealer, said transmission lead frame needs repair $900, and main rear seal leaking badly. Never was i low on oil or had an oil spot. Looked up online several hundred of same vehicle with the same issues. No recall. Ford said nothing they could do because warranty is up and it is not their problem now.
Got up and it was frosty and 24 digress outside so i remotely started my f-150 ford truck went out 10 min later and got on drivers seat and heard a loud bang as if rock had hit windshield.got out looked all around but did not see what had caused the loud noisefinally gave up and went about my day. The next day about noon i looked in my rear view mirror and seen the rear window behind driver was shattered in million pieces but still in place. Window is also tinted so hard to see from outside.took clear packaging tape and put several pieces on inside and outside to keep intact for now. Went to put preasure on tape to adhere to pieces and got several fine cuts in fingers.contacted ford sealed and said first time he had heard of this happening.thinking that problem might cause this to happen again to the new windshield had to pay dealer to check if there was a electrical problem with controls. Said everything seemed fine and warranty was past and could not do anything to help financiallywhen i called back to get reassurance that they would waranty replacement window if it happened again was told that he checked and this has been more comon then he thought,4 this year already at their dealership
Truck was automatic started and idling in driveway parked.driver rear window (nearest the truck bed) exploded and shattered into many pieces.had my daughter been sitting in her car seat she could have been harmed.
When using rear defroster my back window shattered
In april 2014 our sunroof exploded as we were driving on the highway.we took it to the ford dealership where we purchased the truck and they said that they had never heard of a sunroof exploding for no reason.after further research it looks like this has happened to other people. Ford took no responsibility and charged us $1035.05 to replace the sunroof.scared us to death when the sunroof exploded.thankfully no one was hurt.
The car had recall which was repaired but system still shows like i have that recall. Dealer did nit update it in system
While driving the wrench light came on and the speedometer, odometer, fuel economy, ect. On the dashboard quit working and the airbag warning light lit up. When i turned the key off and restarted it, it went away. This happened 3 times.
I filed a complaint 11388782 1/18/2021 on this abrupt transmission downshift and it happened again yesterday. Fortunately, no one was behind me and i survived another very scary moment. I spoke with ford today and they said there had been a recall notice sent that i never received and now since my vehicle has 172000 they say the recall was only good until 150000 miles. This is definitely a safety issue that ford needs to extend the recall. If my vehicle had a recall why didn't the various ford dealerships that i have been to for service over the years notify me also. I think ford failed to notify me of this flagrant safety recall.
Went to pass on highway in my 2013 f150 with a 6.2l engine, and the throttle stuck wide open causing me to accelerate up to 80+ mph. It did not decelerate for about 1 min. I had to avoid hitting other vehicles.
Used remote start on my pickup in below freezing weather at roughly 28.came out to drive to work and rear driver side back window had spider web cracks throughout the glass.
This is a lariat model f-150 with less than 36k miles. The evaporator is leaking and requires the complete dashboard to be pulled in order to replace the evaporator at a cost of $1,700.this poor design along with poor production should be covered by ford due to model type and amount of miles.
Blower motor is turning on and off and i have no air when it is 80 degrees 90 degrees and hot! also, hadd to replace master cylinder and was told my truck was not part of recall with exact same problems as recall.
Approximately 1 year ago, i filed a complaint with nhtsa regarding a faulty master cylinder on our ford truck.i had notified ford of the issue but the complaint fell on deaf ears.recently, ford issued a recall on these vehicles because of this problem. This recall came after 9 reported accidents and 1 injury.this could have been avoided.i am still struggling with ford to be reimbursed $1100 that i paid to replace the master cylinder and fix our brake problem.i would like to be contacted to see if you can assist me.
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.
Parked car and opened door to get when i heard a load pop and realized the back window shattered. It was parked in a empty parking lot with no possibility of externalimpact
Rear window defroster does not work.i have read numerous reports of a defect in the wiring of the rear defroster that causes rear windows to shatter in colder weather. Dealer says the entire window and system needs to be replaced due to a faulty switch. Ford does not accept responsibility for the defect.this is a potential safety hazard as the rear window panel could shatter while driving.rear defroster mechanism is linked to side mirror defroster mechanism, so the only way to defrost side mirrors is to activate the entire system.i am filing this complaint in advance of an event such as the window shattering on my truck in order to force the nhtsb to make ford issue a recall on these vehicles to correct the problem in an appropriate manner.
Nhtsa recall 19v-075.recall caused failure in transmission.problem did not exist prior to recall update. Supplement #1 issued 5/15/2019indicated 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.
The headliner is coming down right in front of driver and passenger. It will eventually drop enough to block the drivers view. It was a small amount as 1st and know it's about 2 1/2" down on both sides. The truck has only 34k on it and is garage keep most of the time. Dealer will only assist making me pay 1/3 of the cost to replace it. This in my option it a defect in materials and workmen ship. I think is should be a fix by ford and dealer not the customer.
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!
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle.the acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
2 months after purchasing my used 2013 f150 super crew i noticed the 'low pressure oil' flash at random times. It flashes for 2 secs and goes away. I started researching and found other owners like myself are having the same issue. Some cases involved the vehicle shutting down during their drive. My vehicle is only at 62k miles. Please help. This is my livelihood , thank you.
Low brake fluid light on when brake fluid is full. Brakes not working at low speeds. Sometimes when pushing brakes you feel abs kick in at low speeds. Very hard to stop.
I started my truck and the wrench light came on. The truck was in limp mode and would not accelerate. I restarted the truck and was able to pull it back in the driveway. I plugged in an obd code reader and it gave a p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed." upon some research i found several models between 2011 through 2015 have had similar issues causing dangerous situations on the highway. The issue was moving when it first occurred, but thankfully it was just outside my driveway, i hadnt made it to the highway yet. I restarted the truck, and was able to park it in the driveway.
Heater/air blower caught on fire. There was not an obstruction causing the fan/blower to over heat. I caught it soon after the fire started so was able to put it out before the entire vehicle was on fire. The vehicle was stationary in my front driveway and had just started it running to warm up.
My truck dangerously downshifts!!! this truck was brought in for the recall 19vo75000 to otis ford in quogue. The next day the truck downshifted dangerously again. I called otis ford and they said i would have to pay for a new transmission, $3,000. I went to t-jays transmissions in riverhead, ny and they had my truck for 1 1/2 weeks and said there was nothing wrong with it. Otis refuses to perform the recall work and this truck is dangerous.i cannot sell this truck and will not trade in for another ford, what do i do? [xxx] or [xxx] can the recall be performed a second time? have there been any other issues with this recall?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My defroster was turned on this morning.i got in my vehicle 10 minutes later and the rear window shattered into a spider web crack.i looked online and have over 32 pages of people complaints on the same issue.insurance company and warranty will not be covered.
Timing chain stretch causing engine not to run.
I just had this happen to me on my 2013 f150 . Same scenario as everyone else. Windows were frosted and turned on rear defroster while warming the truck up. Noticed while driving that the rear windows never defrosted and the light on the rear defrost button would no longer light up. After the windows thawed from the cab heat, i noticed that the passenger side of the three piece window was shattered and only held together by the window tint.
My ford 150 v8 supercab at 32 miles per hour starts shaking the whole truck and vibrates. It does this regardless of road conditions and or gear the truck is in. It only goes away when you drop below 32 or go faster than 35.
Backup camera stopped working
2013 f 150 super crew 23000 miles second time in less than a year back glass shattered both times sitting still should seriously look into what is definitley a serious problem people can't continue to pay every year for a new window.
Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the exact same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.
Defrost blower motor not working, can't keep windows clear for driving safely.electrical system takes power away from non essential systems and redirects for critical systems if the battery is low or alternator is not working correctly, but there is no indication of what the issue may be.
Door locks and will not unlock, unlocks on its on at various times stays locked on its own at various times, can not manually unlock.
I crank my truck up this morning to let it warm up while sitting in the driveway turn the rear defroster and heard a loud bang then i look back and noticed my driver side rear window was shattered
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear. The speedometer decreased to zero. The service indicator warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.
Speed sensor. When driving you could be stopped or moving at a high rate of speed for example i was going 50mph when the truck shifted into first causing the truck to come almost to a complete stop almost causing an accident. At other times wheb you start the truck it will shift from 1st gear to 5th gear and the wrench indicator will appear on dash while everything else turns to dashes (mileage etc). The speedometer will then show zero even while still moving.
Active recall. Tranny will search for gear, disengage then violently downshift.rpms peg at 6,500+ violent jerking. Ford says safe to drive??no solution yet. This engine will blow at highway speeds, tranny likely damaged significantly from downshift to 1st @ 75mph. This is safe? i drive most high speed mileage. Problem worse when cruise control engaged. Dealer refuses to touch the vehicle. Sometimes truck tranny willnot engage from park, no speedo output but rpms register. Selector output may read 5 or 6 gear from park.called ford....csr initially played dumb until i cited recall #. When my engine blows or tranny beyond repair, will ford fix??
I was driving on a highway at 55 miles/h pulling a trailer with a light load. The truck suddenly went from normal engine sound to a louder and louder sound and it slowed down as if i was been dragged backward. The engine sound felt like the truck had down shifted from a higher to a lower gear and was braking on its own while i was trying to compensate by giving more gas so that i could pullover safely. Within a minute the truck stopped still, there was smoke and fire that spread rapidly through the cabine and engine. We nearly escaped. I was unable to completely clear the trailer off the road as the truck had completely stopped. The truck burned completely. Before reporting this incident i called ford, provided my vin number and asked whether there had been any recent recalls on my f150. Ford confirmed that a recall (# 19s07) that impacted my vin was issued in feb, 2019. However, i do not remember receiving any notification from my ford dealership.
My husband and i bought the 2013 f150 platinum on oct. 17th 2020 with 96,726 miles on it. At 97,400 miles, we have put less then 700 miles on the used vehicle when all of a sudden on dec. 4th 2020 our window shatttered. My husband parked the truck in the drive next to the house as we have always done with all our vehicles. My husband was heading out for work on dec 4th 2020 when he heard what seemed like a gun shot going off.he had used the auto start on the truck and went out about 5-10 minutes later to place his lunch bag and coffee thermos in the rear floorboard of the truck like he does every morning. He closed the door and started to walk towards the end of the driveway to check the mail from the previous day since it had not been checked. When he closed the door and got to the rear of the truck he heard the loud bang ( gun shot sound), thinking it was a gun shot he walked back to the front of the truck and around it looking for any indication of a gun shot or a person with a gun.his military training kicked in... Upon investigating he found nothing that seemed out of the norm so hecontiued down the drive, checked the mail and got back to the truck to go to work. Driving to work he seen on the back window what he thought was ice. He turned the rear defrost on waiting for it to melt off and thought nothing more of it. That afternoon after work he had realized the ice look was still there. When he got home he looked at the window closer. Come to find out it was the rear drivers side window that had made the loud sound. The window had shattered for no real reason. The window is a hazard as it could of fell out while driving down the road. I have contacted ford and reported the issue. Waiting on a return call as to if they are going to replace the window under warranty or not. I have seen several reports about this sameissue other places online.
I have a 2013 f-150 ecoboost. I was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. I lurched forward in the seat. The speedometer went down and then back up to 50. It lasted all but seconds. I was able to drive home. I have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until i can get it to the garage. Thankfully the road was dry otherwise i would have skidded out of control. I have about 110,000 miles on the truck. This has not happened before. The past few weeks however it has occasionally not shifted out of 1st or has started in 5th gear. This has been sporadic only. Occasionally, when i start off, it will lurch forward. The vehicle has been maintained and has generally been a very good performing vehicle.
Vehicle always in motion, appears to lose power, wrench light comes on, odometer has dash lines, speedometer falls to 0, and other mpg digital sensors, distance to empty sensor and air bag failure all happen simultaneously. Occasionallythe truck seems to have power loss at lower speeds. Tachometer continues to work. A few times shutting ignition off and turning on again all goes back to normal. Recently had recall software upgrade completed but the problem occurred just 4 days later as i was turning onto freeway. Before the recall work was done i took vehicle to local shop i trust, there were multiple codes found. I had the service tech i had clear the codes. All incidents have occurred at speeds less than 30. All seem to be associated with loss of power and noise from transmission.
Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program.vehicle i feel is not safe.
I was driving on february 12th 2019 and had my defrosters when all of a sudden i heard a loud pop and looked in the rearview mirror to see my back window shattered right over my 2 year old daughter. This is the second time that this has happened in the past 3 years. I stopped and got out and touched the window and burnt my hand with how hot it was.
Air conditioning has a leak on evaporator. Vehicle was only 4 years old when discovered. But out of warranty
My husband and i were driving down the road and suddenly our 2013 ford f150 starts clunking noise and hard jerking makingthe nose of the truck will pull down really hardwhen it does this. We are driving 65mph down the highway when this happened almost causing us to crash. Suddenlyafter this occured the ford f150 starts acting likethe transmission was slipping with only 64,000 miles on it . Tempurature startedgoing up so we pulled over and called a friend to come tow us home. We got home and the truck wont reverse off the trailor. We finally get it off the trailor and take it to the ford buisness in my town on the way there it acts like its stuck in first gear. We get it back from the ford dealership and they tell uhs that the transmission is stuck in reverse. That when they start fhe truck it wants to take off like its stuck in gear even in reverse and then tell us that we will have to replace the transmission that was recently put in mind you it ran fine before the loud noise and sudden changing of gears at 65 mph.. So why shouldnt ford have to fix it.
I have had rear window issues since i bought the truck. First was when the rear defrost/mirror defrost wasn't working. They replaced the window in 2014. Second time was in april of 2017. We had a heavy frost and i couldn't see out the back window or the side mirrors, so i turned on the defrost. About ten minutes lateri was driving down the highway and heard what sounded like a gunshot. I immediately started looking around thinking someone shot at me. I didn't realize right away due to the rear headrest covering a large portion of the window, that the drivers side stationary section of the back window had exploded. The glass stayed intact, however tiny slivers of glass fell onto my daughters car seat which was in front of this window. Ford did replace the window, reluctantly and i paid an insurance deductible, even though the internet is full of people having the same problem. I recently went to turn on my rear defrost again, and found the same issue as the first problem, where the defrost wont work and the likely fix is replacing the rear window. This will be the fourth window in four years. Is this something i should expect to do like oil changes and tires?this is ridiculous. The exploding window can really be an issue. Someone may panic and think its a gunshot, and cause an accident or if someone was sitting there, they could get glass slivers on them. This appears to have been a known issue for years with these windows. Why haven't they been forced to redesign it?
Insulation coming out of tail pipe
Today my wife was driving my truck with our two kids down interstate i79 at 70 miles per hour and the truck shifted itself too first gear locked up the rear tires and about made them wreck. I had too leave my job to get them off the side of the road and drive my truck back too work this is not only a issue but it could get someone seriously hurt
My 2013 ford f-150 xlt with 71,000 miles is having transmission issues and problems with shifting and completely losing power while driving. This issue has started intermittantly about a month ago. While i'm driving, a giant wrench appears on the dashboard which is then followed by loss of power and acceleration. The vehicle is then stuck into a single gear and the speedometer and mileage computer go blank so i no longer know how fast i'm travelling. My vehicle issue seems very similar to the 2011-2012 ford f-150 transmission downshifting recall from below.'federal safety regulators are investigating whether to reopen and expand a previous ford recall by more than a million vehicles for unexpected downshifting.the initial 2016 recall affected more than 153,000 ford f-150, ford expedition, lincoln navigator and ford mustang vehicles from the 2011-12 model years. A second recall would increase that number to an estimated 1,375,577 vehicles affected, and expand into the 2013 model year."
When driving down the road the speedometer goes to zero and the vehicle starts to jerk and will not shift.
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.
When accelerating tomerging on to the highway in the summer the past two years i have had the truck loose power and the check engine light flash on and off til it clears itself for about 30 to 60 seconds after letting off the gas. If you try to give it gas it shakes the hole truck, this causes a dangerous situation when merging on the highway lucky i had enough median to go in to avoid a wreck. Summer of 2018 and 2019
While driving from ohio back to north carolina, my wife and i were travelling at 75 mph when suddenly and without warning my truck abruptly stalled to 5 mph with no power from the accelerator. I managed to get the truck out of the high speed lane on a two lane highway and on to the side of the road. I turned the truck off. A few minutes later, i turned the truck back on and all function resumed. This has happened in the past, but when i took it in for work there was no issue reported or read and the error could not be replicated. The truck was towed to a ford dealership. Service informed me i had a bad throttle body. This truck was part of a "customer satisfaction program" run in 2013 for a bad throttle body and total loss of acceleration.my truck received the repair in 2014 voiding the throttle body 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty. The safety concern remains and is endangering my life, my wife, and our future child. The part might be replaced without fixing the problem. An electrical issue may keep this vehicle having reoccurrences. This has me very concerned about a service that does not increase vehicle safety. And because of that concern i began to inquire if anyone else has had this issue. It turns out that in 2015 a class action suit was filed against ford and settled on individual basises (janis benkle et al v ford motor company). Currently, there are no programs to assist owners like myself in this situation. The original program is no longer valid and the repair performed was only good for one time (that repair apparently would not solve the safety concern as others have stated that the problem persisted after a new throttle body was put in). I have sought out an audience with the "zone manager". However, i have been informed that is impossible ascustomer care will not give that information and neither will the dealership.
Upon acceleration to pass on freeway, engine shudders and loses power. Transmission down shifted to try to recover, but engine would not respond to throttle press. Had to back off on throttle and move to right lane all the while thinking to take the truck to the shoulder. Very scary when trying to pass and no power. Luckily i was not rear ended for slowing down so fast!
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.
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 againwhile driving the 2013 ford f150 ecoboost. It suddently lost power, the wrench light came on, i tried to accelerate but was not able to. I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the truck and turn it back on. When i turned it back on it was working fine again. This has happened multiple times during the week. And ford is no help unless the check engine light comes on. It's is super unsafe to drive, yet ford says to keep driving the vehicle.
I have been having same issue as everyone else , as my 2013 f150 has shifting up and down erratically. Driving at steady speeds and all of a sudden shifts up and down from 1st to 5th and 6th gear and back down again suddenly and unexpectedly.which as everyone else has stated it is a major safety problem and ford is not standing behind their product. Ford knows of this problem as they have recalled certain years but not 2013 which is apparently just as much of an issue , now that i have taken my truck in for service it will my responsibility to pay at least $1000 to repair maybe more if more problems are found. This is not an isolated problem as there is an issue that spans many years and models of vehicles. The consumer should not have deal this as this a manufacturing issue that has spanned years and many models and is a major safety issue for me and that unsuspecting victim in traffic accidents.
Throttle stuck at wide open throttle and would not unstick despite multiple attempts. Foot braked vehicle to slow down, shifted to neutral, keyed off, coasted to rest. Upon restart truck goes straight to wide open throttle. No issues or accidents. Truck has experienced a failure with the throttle sensing/throttle position, no check engine light.
While accelerating, vehicle lost power and started shuddering with the check engine flashing.could not accelerate while the light was flashing for about 20-30 seconds.after light went out truck started driving normal again.
I took my truck into red mccombs ford in san antonio, tx because i had issues with my transmission. I can be driving and it would rev up to 4k rpm without my foot on the acceleration. There are times when i'm driving and it drops into 1st and jars me when it bogs down. Took it in and we paid almost $1000 for repairs to fix it since i feared for my safety. It felt like i had no control of my vehicle. That was in sept 2018..here we are march 2019 having the same issues. I tried taking it in, but they did not have the offer of a loaner vehicle while they fixed again, so i have had no choice but to drive my truck still. I love my truck...but this is scary driving like this. I don't have a choice because i have to get to work daily. I need a reliable vehicle per i had major surgery last sept and have had 2 emergency room trips since and cannot afford to get in a wreck or have my truck go out with my health issues. I'm afraid all the jerking is going to cause me issues with my back and safety of my family. I have had to pull over and restart truck to get it to quit revving up, and not rear ending someone.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle did not decelerate and increased in rpms when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was taken to a body repair shop, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
While trying to merge into traffic i pressed the accelerator to the floor to get the truck up to the speed of traffic flow.i had no response from the engine for approx 1 to 2 seconds. This put me in a very dangerous situation as i had to get on the brakes hard to slow the vehicle on the on ramp to keep from getting hit by the faster traffic on the highway. In addition the traffic behind me had to rapidly slow down to keep from hitting me.we took the vehicle into the ford dealership on monday 30 sept 2013. This was ruidoso ford in ruidoso new mexico. They checked the vehicle and said there was no problem with it and that they knew of no other problems of this type on 2013 f-150 fx-4 pickup trucks. I am still in the talking stages with them about this problem as i feel they have made little effort to solve it and the research i have done indicates that ford motor corporation is aware of this problem. (this problem has happened to me several times since i purchased this vehicle, i thought that after the break in period, as the truck was new when purchased this problem would go away but it has not. Also this truck does not get the gas mileage that it is claimed to get.
Driving down highway at approximately 60-65mph when i attempted to accelerate. Vehicle began to stall/shake and lose power. I was unable to accelerate while the vehicle was shaking. Check engine light began to flash on and off.
Vehicle is getting way below estimated mpg.truck is barely getting 16 mpg while the false advertisement says the truck will get 17-21 mpg.this is a brand new truck and has those far shown false advertisement in gas mileage.along with the mpg, when in cruise control the transmission down shifts all the way down to 2nd gear while driving at 50 mpg leaving the rpms at a high rate when it down shift. There is something wrong with the way this truck down shifts in cruise control.this needs to be looked into as this is not the way a 50k plus truck should be driving or the false representation of the mpg that ford has claimed.if i had knew the mpg would have been this bad i would have considered a different vehicle.
My rpm kneedle pop off. My seats are tearling
Truck being driven apx 55 mph and no change from me truck has sudden slowdown with speedometer drop to 40s then recovers as truck speeds up on it's own. Same day as trying to park, in drive, pressing on gas engine revs but does not move. Today (7 days later) accelerating from stop transmission sticks in low gear. Has had powertrain recall applied.
While driving in rainy conditions at 55 mph, the driver accelerated which kicked into passing gear.at this time the steering wheel began to shake violently, the vehicle lost all power (though remained on) and decelerated to about 45 mph on it's own.the check engine light began blinking and remained lit for appx 1 minute.once it went off the vehicle regained normal operations.however, when attempting to accelerate again the same issue occurred.the next day in dry conditions the same situation occurred when accelerating quickly to pass only this time the check engine light stayed on.the same situation has not occurred again, though the light remains on.it is scheduled to go into the dealership tonight.
As i am driving the 2013 ford f-150 raptor 6.2l the gears seem to be off, if i am driving only 30mph the gear is at 6. Also the more dangerous and scary thing is that it shifts down without any warning, i was traveling about 35mph and the gear seem to shift down to 1 locking my rear tires and making me skid almost causing the vehicle behind me to run into me. The tires locked almost as if i put the brakes on. I'm glad i was only going 35mph but what if i'm going 80, this would be a more dangerous and scary scenario. It also happened when i turned on to a street and as i started to accelerate it dropped my gear to 1, locked my wheels and acted like it didn't want to shift or accelerate , i pulled off to the side of road, i sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened and went on my way nervous if it will happen again, which it didn'tand made it home.next day i took to ford and they said they cant duplicate the issue so there is nothing we can do. This is scary , i don't fell safe with me and my son in this vehicle. What could be causing this dangerous situation? what is my next opposition to get this fixed. Thank you
There is a recall for 2013 ford f150 's down shifting while driving. I contacted ford corporation and their explanation is. A fix for the issue will not be ready until the second quarter.
I had been driving on the highway in the rain for approximately 2 hours, when i needed to pass a semi-truck and pushed the accelerator pedal to accelerate the truck started to shudder and stall, with an accompanying flashing mil light.i let off the accelerator and the mil light became steady.i pulled off to the side of the road, shut-off the truck and opened the hood to see if there was any obvious cause to the misfire condition...and there was not.i restarted the truck, but the mil light remained illuminated steady.i drove conservatively home and hooked up my code reader to the obd-ii port.it showed codes of p0300, p0305, and p0306...the freeze-frame data showed the condition occurred at 65 mph and 2578 rpms.i called the dealer and setup an appointment to have the truck inspected.the dealer applied ford tsb 13-8-10 as the fix (don't know if this will fix the misfires or not).my truck has the 3.5l ecoboost motor.
Sporadic shifting. Transmission and/or oil pressure causes the truck to completly shut down on me when driving down the highway.
Driving new ford 2013 f-150 with the ecoboost engine. It was raining at the time. I tried to pass a vehicle and it went into limp mode, engine light came on and would not accelerate. This happened again several weeks later and the check engine light stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they replaced #6 spark plug and the catalytic converter. The problem happened again. Now i hardly drive the truck and it stays in the garage especially on rainy days.
Transmission - molded leadframe malfunction on 5.0 motor. The 2011-2012 recall for the molded leadframe malfunction also affects 2013 vehicles such as ours leading to the truck loosing power, stalling out, shifting on it's own from 5th to 1st and the other way leaving the truck a wreck waiting to happen at any time during driving. This risks the lives of the driver, passengers and everyone else on the road. When this happens you must bring the vehicle to a complete stop, shut it off, wait for computer to cycle, then restart. Ford should be expanding the recall to replace this deadly malfunctioning part at their cost. This has happened at least 10 times within 30 days of owning the vehicle which was bought from maxwell ford in austin texas.the last time this happened it was in a parking lot after just starting the truck and backing out of a stall.
While trying to pass slower vehicles on the freeway my f150 ecoboost engine lost power and the truck started to shake.this situation almost cause a serious accident as traffic behind me had to rapidly slow down to allow me time to pass the slower vehicles and get out of the way.
Speedometer, odometer, cruise control, blinker control, and transmission shifting quits working. Believe it's the transmission lead frame causing the problem like in the 2011 and 2012 f150's.
We took our ford f150 in for erratic downshifting, were able to provide photographic evidence of the problem, but because no error codes are popping up and they can't replicate the problem they are returning out vehicle to us. My issue is ford knows this is an issue and knows the fix is to update the software then look for error codes, but they are acting as they have no idea this is a known problem amongst the 2011-2013 models and they are sending the unfixed car back home to be a safety hazard not only to my family but the families on the road around us.
Put truck into park to help truck ahead of us unload bed. Our truck was in park with engine on, within 3 min truck began accelerating and crushed body in between two trucks. Had to press breaks (car still rolling) shift into reverse, back into park before car would stop rolling then went into reverse.
Truck is hesitant to pull off as if brakes are stuck, idles high, jerks violently and seems as if it's losing power. I've been dealing with this issue for some time now and liberty ford maple has been 0 help resolving this issue. I've been hit from behind 2 times as well as multiple other close accidents due to this issue. I refuse to drive the freeway out of fear of a accident , which really affects my work. It's almost like i don't have a vehicle as i've been using family vehicles or renting.
The vehicle drops into 1st gear for no reason, including when at high speed.this causes the rear wheels to skid and the vehicle to loose control.i have taken the vehicle to two ford dealerships, and they have done the software update under recall 19s07, but the vehicle continues to have this problem.both dealerships tell me they believe the lead frame needs to be replaced to fix the sudden downshifting, but ford corporation refused to pay the cost of this repair because ford corporation say the lead frame is not covered by the 19s07 recall unless there are "error codes" (which there are not, even though the truck has downshifted three times at speeds of about 35 mph since they "fixed" the software).
While driving home from work, the vehicle downshifted to 1st gear causing a jerk and the back tires to skid for an instant. If someone would have been close enough, they would have rear ended me. I have a video that i took of it and put it in slow motion for you to review.please contact me for video. Or if you can use this link.https://youtu.be/6wtmwtxktoo
Driving at 70mph, engine became weak, check engine light came on, transmission went to 5th gear, speedometer went to 0 though tachometer was still showing around 2,000 rpm. Airbag light came on. Truck wouldn't shift up or down. Came to a stop, transmission went to 3rd. Had to shut off truck and restart. This has happened 3 times in 1 month. I just purchased this truck three weeks prior to this occurrence.
Purchase date 02/28/2013august 24, 2013 ? my wife was downstate school shopping for my son and pulled out on telegraph road. Because it wouldn't accelerate, an accident was almost caused. The truck started shuddering and would not go faster than 5 mph. It went into protection mode. Took the truck into gaylord ford, gaylord michigan on august 26, 2013 to have them check why it would do that. They kept the truck all day and i was told they couldn't find anything wrong with it.august 30, 2013 ? my wife and son just turned off highway 65 onto highway 72 and my wife was at 45mph trying to get the truck to 55mph. The truck started to shudder and dropped from 45pm to 5pm. Almost causing her to hit a guard rail because there were cars behind her. It was taken by flatbed to zubeck ford in oscoda, mi. The mechanic said it came back with 25 error codes and is unsafe to drive.september 2, 2013 ? the truck still sits at zubeck ford
Speed sensor lead frame problem. Vehicle would periodically get stuck in a gear, digital speedometer would go to all dashes, and air bag light would pop up. Other times, in highest gear, the vehicle would drop a gear unannounced. Would take off in 5th gear at times. Would shift hard at times.
Lose power on acceleration while passing on the highway sudden lost of power and engine fail shacking type of feel not noise or warning before events
When driving i lose power and the wrench comes on the dash also check engine light comes on when i take it read code it reads throttle stuck p2112 code it has happened while in city streets and on highway
I was at a stop sign turning into a main street, i accelerated to turn into the intersection when i attempted to accelerate the truck did not do anything. It was really nerve wrecking, i stepped on the gas like 3 times until the truck finally reacted. I almost got into a really bad accident which would of been my fault because of the cars defect. This is not the only time that this has happened to me, but is the most recent. They really need to do something about this! i took the truck to the dealer and was told that they cannot duplicate customers concern. This is a $43,000 truck and think that i should get what i have paid for not a little piece of crap.
Loss of power under acceleration while driving on i 95, attempting a lane change when power dropped, almost hit by a tractor trailer, pulled over finally and sat for 15 minutes then coasted to my destination. No engine warnings or lights/faults registered. Happened on two more occasions since then. The first time, i took it to my dealer service department and they said they could find nothing wrong. My truck had all the updates they said.the second and third times were on back to back days. All occurrences were during rain driving.the servicing dealer now says there is tsb on the intercooler and they will fix it.
Widely reported- please read carefully! very similar to existing recall*, but not the same. Potentially deadly. Current recall does not address the sudden up-shifts mentioned here.2013 ford f-150mfg defect: molded leadframe assy in 6r80 transmissionsymptoms: intermittent loss of speed signal causes sudden/unexpected slamming upshift from 1st gear to 5th when accelerating from a stop, causing a complete and unexpected loss of all acceleration. Indications: 5th gear suddenly indicated on display, dashes replace numbers on speed/mileage related displays (mpg, odometer). Speedometer may read 0, airbag symbol pops on, large orange wrench symbol may briefly appear. Pressing on accelerator does not cause downshift. Motor may stall. Remains in 5th gear without some other corrective action. Turning engine off and back on will reset the computer, and vehicle operates normally until next occurrence. Dangers: this could be fatal when pulling out into oncoming traffic, both from the side (pulling out in front of oncoming traffic from side street) or from rear (sudden, unexpected loss of speed/ no brake lights). Ford cannot fix this by re-programming the vehicle to ignore the faulty sensor any more than you can ignore an oncoming cement truck or train.repair is approximately $800. If not recalled, owners may try to live with the risks or trade to an unknowing person, endangering lives of others.*this defective part is also the root cause of ford recall #19s07, involving sudden violent down-shifts (not upshifts). Ford is avoiding the problem by re-programming the ecu to ignore the intermittent speed signals, allowing the transmission to fail more gracefully, defects to be repaired at owner's expense. This approach will not work for the up-shift problem. The defective part should be immediately replaced at ford's expense to correct both problems.
We bought our 2013 f150 xlt 4x4 v6 flex fuel at denham ford in wetaskiwin alberta. We traveled across country to ontario. We have continued to drive it. Approximately 9000 kms for mileage our truck has steadily lost acceleration power. Going up burlington skyway and garden city skyway (100 km/h major highway) truck struggle to maintain 60 km/h uphill with pedal to the floor! had instrumental panel problems improper display of amount of gas or distance to e. Driveshaft constantly clunking and transmission slippage. Ford refused to replace after towing of problems and constant call ins to customer service. Took to local dealer and 7-8 technicians stood round scratching head replaced fuel pump did not make a difference. Ford ask for payment 558.08 we not have funds as all of our money going into gas to repair truck and false reading on panel and ford refused to help us. We felt used and scared of being rear ended by a semi was not safe. Did diagnostic no codes. Beyond code problem. First known problem in north america...huge lemon.
I am having trouble with my eco boost because when i start my truck i have a loud rattling sound then my truck loses power and shakes alot like a compression leak
While driving vehicle suddenly shifted into 1st gear and flashed a wrench symbol and check engine light for code p0720. The vehicle lurched coming from a hugh rate of speed to shifting to first gear which almost caused a wreck. The vehicle would not shift out of first gear.
2013 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to output speed sensor safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the manufacturer had not notified the dealer of the recall; therefore, the recall was unable to be completed.
I was at a complete stop on a main street making a left turn. Traffic was coming in the opposite direction and i was waiting for clearing within the traffic in order to make my left turn. There was an opening in traffic and i stepped on the gas to accelerate across the lane. As i stepped on the gas a message on my dashboard came on stating "low oil pressure" and the vehicle completed stalled. I completely lost all power on the engine and also the steering wheel.the vehicle drifted across the busy lane and barely made it across the lane as traffic was coming directly towards me.multiple vehicles were coming in my direction and some honked there car horn to get out of the way.this was extremely frightening as i had my baby with me in the back seat.the cars would have clearly hit my vehicle if i had not drifted across that lane.the truck is practically new as it barely has 6724 miles.

The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle's speed declined and would not accelerate. The failure occurred twice. The dealer stated that the failure was due to humidity and moisture. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 10,400.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the vehicle would hesitate in shifting gears and maintaining speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the charge air cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000. Updated 01/12/16*lj
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt. In addition, once the vehicle restarted, the speedometer failed to work and the wrench warning sensor illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.
Attempted to enter interstate traffic from an on ramp. Attempted to accelerate to speed and merge into traffic. The engine lost all power and failed to accelerate, the vehicle shook violently and slowed. A malfunction indication light began flashing on the dash. A vehicle behind me had to pass me on the shoulder to avoid a rear end collision. The condition cleared itself after approximately 20 to 30 seconds. I was approximately a hundred miles into a 150 mile trip in rainy weather. Returned to the dealer the following day who retrieved numerous misfire codes from the ecm (dtc p 0903, p 0904, p 0905). Dealer re-programmed the ecm and informed me i would have to drive it and see if that works. Performed research to see if this was a common issue with the ecoboost engine and found that indeed it was, that the condition has existed since at least 2011 model year and to date there appears to be no clear fix from ford. Additionally, despite well over a hundred complaints about this dangerous condition, that no action has been taken by the nhtsb. It is my most sincere hope that it does not take a fatality to spur action on this condition.
While driving on the highway at a rate of 70-75 mph, i noticed by speedometer twitch a few times.i focused on it while driving and noticed the truck downshift to 3rd gear from 6th, and the speedometer dropped to about 45mph on a dime. Another instance i was driving home, and the truck decided to shift from 6th gear down to 1st, after which i quickly shifted into neutral and slowed to a stop on the shoulder. While driving on a dirt road about 40mph my truck then shifted from 5th to 3rd lurched and went back to 5th gear.an odd experience is when my truck, when in a parking lot shifted from 1st gear to 5th(???) i pulled over and placed the vehicle in the manual mode for shifting and drove a few miles.after which i received a wrench symbol and my all of my meters went into a dashed mode.i pulled over and turned off, then turned back on my truck and didn't have anymore issues.i took my truck into the ford dealership and they told me that it was an issue with the wiring in the transmission.we will see if that fixes the issue, however i got a recall notification in the mail for involuntary downshifting which make me think there is another underlying issues, other than the wiring.
My lead frame, output speed sensor went out at around 110,000 miles and caused my vehicle to stall completely. This occurred while in the middle of a very busy state hwy intersection and almost caused me to get hit by a semi truck and trailer. Very dangerous situation. The readout on the mechanics computer was "output speed sensor"
On 4/2/19 while driving at approx. 50 mph, all at once, the speedometer dropped to 0, air bag light came on, and the truck started running an idling rough. When we got to our destination we were planning on calling on someone to pick us up. We started the truck to move it out of the way, and it was back to normal. We drove home no problems. I drove the truck to work the very next day, 10 minutes away, ran errands, about 30 minutes driving, and went back to work. Still no problems. As i was getting ready to leave work, i hadn't been driving but a few minutes, then the truck all of sudden downshifted to first gear. I almost lost control. I was up to about 45 mph at this point. The back end of the truck kept sliding until it finally slowed down. Luckily i live in a small town with not a lot of traffic. I am not going to attempt to drive it again until out local dealership checks it out. I called the dealership and they have advised us to bring it there on monday april 8th, and leave it with them.
My 2013 ford f150 will shift into different gears while driving causing the truck to lock up. I was driving 65 mph down the interstate this morning when it shifted into 1st gear causing my tires to lock up and skid all over the road. Luckily i was able to get it off the road before crashing. I have heard this is the output speed sensor which has happened to millions of other f150's. Why has this not been recalled?? this is a major safety hazard! https://www.slashgear.com/ford-faces-1m-recall-expansion-over-worrying-transmission-flaw-02513360/
I was accelerating up a hill at approximately 50 mph when a rapid deceleration occurred. I had to quickly merge onto the shoulder in order to avoid being hit from behind.i then shut off the vehicle, waited, composed myself, restarted the vehicle, and drove safely to work. I did, however, have the "check engine" illuminate on my way home and seemed to sense some stiffness in the brakes. This should not happen in a vehicle with 8000 miles on it.
2013 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag system, cruise control system and other electrical issues.the consumer stated he returned the vehicle to the dealer twice, for the issues.the dealer failed to identify any electrical faults in the air bag system.a month later,during service on the air bags, the horn failed to operate.
Struggling gear to gear doing acceleration and spontaneously downshifting periodically on its own. I have participated in two recalls dealing with the unexpected downshifting but no change to the issue i am still having the same problems the last recall was 7/12/2019. It seems like to use recalls are not fixing the issue what can i do? i will kindly appreciate some type of feedback to steer me in the right direction for i am locked into financial responsibilities with this vehicle at the same time i fear for my safety and others around me?
I took my truck in almost a year ago in march to have recall on transmission downshift repaired. Just in the last month i have had to bring my truck in 3 times. Twice my truck downshifted while on the sh-130 tollway going 80mph and down shifting to 40 mph almost causing me to wreck or be struck by another vehicle. Again today i was driving my vehicle on hwy and engine light came on. Same effect except this time my truck refused to move without turning it off in the middle of traffic. This is 3xs my life has been in jeopardy in a short period of time. I have taken it to ford dealership where they insisted transmission downshift issue was repaired and suggested a tune up was best option. Hundreds of dollars out and again i'm in same situation i was. 3 x near wrecking or death and all in under a month. Initial date of service 1/3/20 serviced again 1/21/20. Now need service again. I have kept up with scheduled maintenance on vehicle and it does not have very many miles on it.
While driving on a highway at 75 mph i accelerated to pass a car and the check engine light began flashing and the truck started shuddering and would not accelerate, it started decelerating. I pulled off the road and put the truck in park. I revved the engine until the turbos started spooling normally again.
Going 70 mph on the high way my truck is down shifting to a lower gear then looses power the rpm and the speedometer starts going hay wire jumping back and forth. Doing 40 mph it does the same thing and doesn't want to pick up speed.took it to a ford dealership and they reprogrammed the brain now the mph don't work no fuel notice it's blank.
I received my ford recall notice on the need to reprogram power train module on or about april 1st 2019. My firstinstance of my 2013 f150 stx supercab, going into sudden downshift mode and then limp mode (blue wrench signal) occurred around april 12, 2019.i was driving at about 30 miles an hour on a city street when my truck when the truck downshifted by itself and the blue wrench light appeared.my truck went into limp mode and i was unable to drive. After pulling over to the side of the street,i turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and then the issue resolved itself.i took my vehicle into the ford dealership on april 18, 2019 where recall 19s07 6r80 (reprogram power train module) work was completed.on may 17, 2019, while driving about 30 miles an hour on a city street (without notice or cause) my truck again went into downshift mode, limp mode and the blue wrench light came on.same as the first instance, i pulled over to the side of the street, turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and when i turned on the truck again the issue was resolved.it was clear that this issue was electrical and no mechanical and the original recall work completed by the dealership did not resolve the issue.on 05/19/2019,i again took my truck to the ford dealership where this time the module lead frame was replaced after code p0722 was identified. I want the record to reflect that the first recall, reprogramming of the power train module did not work, and left me at risk of a second downshifting incident occurring.my truck had a second incident and after returning to the dealership a second time the leadframe was replaced. I also want to note that the dealership's data that the original recall work was completed on 04/26/2019 is inaccurate.the original recall work was performed by the dealership on 04/18/2019.
While driving the vehicle will down shift randomly.this has happened while pulling out into traffic and while driving on the interstate causing the back wheels to lock up for a few seconds. I took the vehicle to the dealership a few months ago and they said they did not notice anything wrong.it recently started doing it again but at a much more frequent rate. Unfortunately, i am not a mechanic and have no clue why it would downshift for no reason. I started reading about others having this issue and even recalls for the year prior. This issue is very dangerous and i am not sure how my local dealer sent me on my way knowing this has been an ongoing issue.
In motion, the mil comes on, it goes into limpmode and throws trouble code p2111.
Reduced engine power during hard accelerations with the 5.0 v8 engine. Safety issue pulling out into traffic or needing to accel for any reason.
Driving down interstate and truck suddenly shifted to 3rd gear locking up my tires. Thank god i didn't lose control and drove off the road to a stop. Turned off truck and back on. Drove ok for a bit. Will keep dropping gears or randomly shifting up and down. From a start it could sometime try to go into 5th. At times all the dash indicators flash and go to dashes.
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.
The following occurred in a 2013 f150 platinum with 12,000 miles on it. While accelerating from a traffic light, the car lost power and stuttered and fell into limp mode.you could not drive over 10 mph.this has been just one of many similar incidents.i have taken the car in several times but ford cannot replicate the problem, so they will not fix anything.recently, the car just misfired while driving around 40mph, these incidents occur suddenly then the car recovers.my car is currently in the shop, i will pick it up today, they said they could not replicate the problem, so no service was done.the reason it was in the shop this time?i was driving to work in the morning and the car basically collapsed while driving, almost causing a huge accident, this incident was more extreme than the others and the car was stuck in limp mode for about 5 seconds, the woman behind me almost smashed into me.this is a 50k truck with 12,000 miles on it. This truck is extremely dangerous to drive. Recall!!!!!!
This is the third time the vehicle has done this to me while driving at highway speeds the vehicle (ecoboost motor) the engine has shuddered and lost all powers when attempting to pass another vehicle or accelerate. On the first instance i was on a two lane road attempting to accelerate to pass a semi truck when the truck started missing so bad it choked out and shut down in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic i had to swerve into a ditch to avoid a head on collision. The second time was on a four lane during a 45 minuet drive when i went to pass it lost all power causing me to drop to 40 miles an hour in the passing lane of a highway causing many vehicles to swerve to avoid collision. The most recent time was when same as the second going to pass somebody the truck lost all acceleration would not get out of the way of traffic nearly causing another accident. I have had it into the dealer several times and i am constantly getting we see the history code but we can not reproduce the problem. This problem has left me feeling unsafe to drive my vehicle and hurting resale value as well as putting my safety on the line.
My transmission has been acting erratically for the past 30 days. At first the vehicle would lose acceleration and then the rpms would jump 2000, after a couple seconds i would hear a loud thump as the transmission reengaged; the speedometer also registered 0 a couple times when this happened. Other times the transmission would refuse to leave first gear or i would lose power while in first gear for approximately 10 seconds. The worst issue happened when i was driving the vehicle at approximately 35 mph when the transmission shifted into 1st gear and locked up my rear tires! thankfully i didn't get rear ended, or worse, been driving on the highway; there is no way i could have controlled the vehicle at high speeds and could have seriously injured myself or other drivers. Unfortunately these transmission issues are intermittent and do not generate error codes. I've been to two ford dealers, the first could not replicate the issue and the second was able to determine the issue is caused by a faulty electronic control assembly in the transmission; they had to search service bulletins in order to figure out what is happening. While this seems to be a common complaint with ford owners, 2013 vehicles are not included in the recall and they want to charge me $1412.75 to fix the issue. In addition, this is a major safety issue.
My 2013 ford unexpectedly downshift into first gear while the vehicle was in motion. I was traveling 40-45 mph. No accident or injuries. This also happened last yea, i was unaware of a recall or issue. I am worried about transmission damage, the current recall doesn't cover transmission service or inspection if you experiences this downshift. Until the recall software is resolved i will not drive my truck on the highway or high speeds as i'm worried it will happen again.
Sudden downshift into 1st gear at highway speeds. Speedometer and digital displaystops working.
While driving north on i-95 in georgia at 65 mph, i attempted to accelerate. The truck began to shake violently, lose power, and the check engine light illuminated. The weather at the time was 70 degrees with moderate rain. I had been driving for approximately one hour at the time of the incident. I had to pull over to the emergency lane and shut off the motor. The engine restarted ok. I did not attempt any more hard accelerations. I had no more stall problems. I took the truck to the dealer where they found a misfire code, but had no explanation or fix to prevent the problem from happening again. This is an ecoboost vehicle.
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.
Ford f-150 ecoboost loss of power. - trying to pass a semi on the highway when the vehicle stumbled after a downshift, lost power, check engine light flashed, and the vehicle started to shudder. Tried to pull off of side of road but once i was able to get over to the median, the light stopped flashing and the shudder went away as did the light. It was in the mid 60s, i had traveled about 120 miles on the highway at about 70 mph in ohio on i-75 south of toledo. It had been raining off and on all day.
Had safety recall 19s07 done on 4/6/2021 due to truck downshifting to 1st gear randomly. Reprogramming per the recall did not fix the issue, but truck is not displaying any of the required dtc's to be able to do the safety recall 19n01 even though truck is still downshifting to first gear randomly as well as loss of speedometer at times while driving. Truck also seems to sit in 3rd gear for a few seconds when at a complete stop. Dealership will not move forward on recall of lead frame until codes are displayed, even though the truck is showing all other symptoms as stated in 19n01
Reduced engine power during hard accelerations.experiencing misfires at highway speeds and when pulling out into intersection.was almost hit by oncoming vehicle in intersection because truck lost power and speed in the middle of the intersection, truck was called on fast to make a lefthand turn at the gap in traffic and lost power. Vehicle was purchased new on april 13, 2013.ford dealership ran diagnostics and determined problem was due to oasis special message number 32227, "intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration".ford said there is no fix yet "engineering is investigating, continue monitoring for updates".
Date: july 5, 2021, roughly 5 pm location:interstate 40, heading west.just east of the first exit for shawnee oki was driving with traffic, cruise set at 80 mph.changed to left lane to pass a travel trailer and noticed traffic was getting heavier up ahead.i tapped the brake to cancel the cruise control, and the engine raced out of control.it was as if the accelerator was pressed to the floor.i used both feet on the brake to attempt to slow the pickup, was able to change back to the right lane, and managed to drive onto the shoulder and slam the truck into park.the racing engine never let up until the key was turned off.i did see that the cruise dash light was indicating that the cruise was off before i changed lanes.it is my belief that tapping the brake initiated the problem.fortunately, no one was hurt, there was no accident.i can still see the children in the vehicle ahead of me when i try to go to sleep and i have nightmares of what could have happened.no problem the next day.we tried to create the situation when traffic was light, but have not experienced any problem with braking, tapping the brake, the cruise control, or unintended acceleration since then.
I am experiencing the exact same problem with my 2013 ford f-150 xlt as those that have been recalled in the 2011 and 2012 models. My truck was also built in dearborn, michigan and has the 6r80 transmission. I took my truck into the dealership this week to find that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The dealer is replacing the powertrain control module software and the lead frame at my cost of$1,362 .the problem: a problem with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame could cause the transmission controls to force a temporary downshift into 1st gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up, resulting in loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. Earlier this week on multiple occasions, my truck will not shift out of first gear after coming to a stop. I was nearly involved in an accident due to this problem when i was unable to accelerate from a stop light and there was no place for me to pull over. The problem only corrects itself when i shut the engine off and restart it.
On 10 aug 2019 i took my ford in for transmission recall, reprogramming to prevent uncontrolled downshifting.i had never had had any problems with downshifting prior to this date.once recall was done within a week my truck drastically downshifted twice before taking it back to the dealer who performed the recall.they said there was no problem with my truck and told me my wheels locking was not a sign of downshifting.now i continue to have downshifting issues and also am throwing a p0720 code.i just know that the downshifting broke the leadframe and i looking at a huge bill.now vehicle goes into limp mode where i have to stop and restart my car to get speedometer to show.
I was driving at 48-50- mph when i decided to pass a cement truck that was going below the speed limit. As i pulled out to pass the truck everything seemed fine. When i got alongside the cement truck my truck started to hesitateand misfire. The engine light started flashing. I was stuck from going back as another car was behind me,also trying to pass the slow truck. I barely made it past the cement truck as an oncoming vehicle had to swerve into the shoulder to miss me and the vehicle behind me. When i returned home i looked up ecoboost problems on the internet and found numerous other people with the same problem. Thankfully no one was injured or killed today, i believe the it will only be a matter of time before there is a fatality if there hasn't been one already.
The electronic throttle body failed at 40,000 miles while driving the car in traffic. I had no control over the vehicle speed, as the gas pedal did not respond, and the car slowed to about 5 mph.i managed to get out of traffic without a collision. I checked online and found this is a very common complaint for ford 3.5l engines.my truck has the 3.5l eco-boost engine.
This has happened 5 times. When starting to take off in low speeds, 20-30 mph, the transmission will slip into neutral then into first slowing the truck down rapidly. Also, while travelling at highway speeds on cruise control, the vehicle will drop to 5th gear and the speedometer will drop to 0, the odometer and all display panel shows nothing, the cruise will not work, and the airbag light comes on.
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
Upon trying to pass or accelerate my truck ,it loss power and boggle down check engine lights are on. Leaving my house three blocks away from my distanation
6/08/13while traveling from kingsville to rio hondo at 6 am for a fishing trip, i accelerated hard to pass a semi-truck.my f150 shuddered violently in the back end, and i felt a significant loss of power.the check engine light blinked excessively before extinguishing.the truck resumed normal operation fairly quickly, within 5 sec.i continued to my destination with no further problems, making sure to limit my speed and make no more hard accelerations.the weather was rainy and wet conditions.i intended on investigating this issue once i returned home.6/09/13the truck had been parked and not driven until my departure on sun, 2 pm.on my way home i was forced to accelerate quickly on hwy 77 on ramp from fm 107 to keep up with traffic.the truck once again shuddered violently and the a/c began blowing hot air, the loss of power was much more significant than the last episode and i was forced to pull onto side of hwy 77 to avoid being struck by traffic behind me.the engine light blinked and continued to stay on.the truck resumed normal operation; however the length of time before that happened was much longer than before.i was certain i was going to be stranded and it was necessary for me to take emergency measures.the weather was hot and dry.
1. While driving at highway speeds (around 70 mph) the vehicle suddenly down-shifted into 2nd gear. The rear tires briefly locked up, but control of the vehicle was managed.2. While driving, both in town and on the highway, the vehicle would downshift from 6th gear to 5th. The vehicle would then not shift below 3rd gear when brought to a stop. Turning the vehicle off and on again would reset the problem. The maintenance light and airbag light illuminated. The speedometer went to 0. The odometer and other digital readings in the center cluster on the dash showed all dashes. After several of these events, the check engine light also illuminated.3. After one of the events described in 2 above, the vehicle was stopped, shifted into reverse, and then returned to drive. The vehicle would not move and acted as though it was in neutral. Shutting the vehicle off and on again corrected the problem. The local ford dealership is aware of the problem and has scheduled an appointment for a diagnosis. Ford safety recall notice 19s07 was performed in march 2019. Ford safety recall notice 19s19 was performed in july 2019, after the first event, but did not correct the issue.
Going in motion on the turnpike at 70mph my truck down shifted to 2nd gear. After that the wrench and the airbag light came on the dashboard. The mileage erased and the speedometer stopped working. At a stationary red light my truck would show i was on 3rd gear. Fortunate for me i was by myself when this problem occurred but i could've been with my family and now i'm scared to drive my truck and even more scared to bring he family with me on my truck. That is the newest car in my house and would think it would be the most dependable but unfortunately it's not and i can't even afford to buy another car because i was affected by this pandemic. If i can sell the car back to the bank it would be great because i don't even feels safe bringing this car as the family truck.
I have a f150 4-wheel eco boost v6. I recently had my vehicle in for an oil change and at that time decided to have the recall done for the software update. The next few days i noticed that there was some hesitation with the gears shifting and the transmission at times would drop. I contacted the dealership to bring my truck back in at that time they could not find anything wrong but an oil pressure sensor. Some days later i was driving on the feeder road getting ready to enter the highway. As soon as i entered my speedometer stop working and the transmission dropped into 1st gear. There was a car behind me that almost collided with my truck. My family was in the car at the time and this could have been a serious accident. The next day i brought my truck back into the dealership and they did a quick diagnosis. They stated that i had transmission issues and that i needed to look into getting another vehicle through them and trading my truck out. I was upset by the response so i took my vehicle to a local transmission shop where they thoroughly inspected the truck. The findings were that the oss sensor was faulty and it pull up a p0270 code. The shop advised me that this was a warranty and safety issue and that i immediately take it back to the dealership to have it repaired. When i return to the dealership they at that time acknowledge thatit was a warranty issue and could be fix, but they could not even look at it for 2-weeks and would not even provide a loaner after stating my safety concerns. I then contact ford motor company and they could not assist until the dealership looked at my truck. I did state to them the time issue at the dealership but was told they have no control over what they do. I'm stuck with driving a unsafe vehicle for an issue outside of my control and no one at ford is taking the matter seriously. This could cause a fatal or severe injury.
While driving my 2013 ford platinum f-150 at approximately 35 mphgoing straight on a town road heading to the highway, the wrench service light came and and instantly putting the truck into "limp" mode only allowing me to drive 5 mph. I am lucky not to be in highway traffic. I did have my family with me heading on a 5 hour journey. Completely unsafe!after a few restarts the same wrench light came on as well as the check engine light. And again the vehicle went into limp mode allowing me to drive 5mph.the grieco ma ford dealer said it was a failed throttle body, vehicle only has 55k miles on it and has been serviced regularly at the aforementionedford dealer!i hope this safety issue gets recalled so no one will ever have to go through the situation like i did ever again!
I recently purchased this vehicle used less than a week ago. I have only driven it for about 75 miles. While driving down a busy street at 45 miles an hour the truck down shifted to first gear and simultaneously the speedometer stopped working. I kept control of the vehicle but if a vehicle would have been following closely it is possible if not likely to have rear ended me. I checked the vin and it states no open recalls. Evidently the vehicle was serviced for one of the past recalls which clearly describes this same event as an issue. I will contact the dealership grey daniels ford in brandon ms where it was purchased for inspection.
Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear when the vehicle is in motion.
While driving at 70mph noticed my truck had down shifted into 5th gear, i slowed to pull over and noted the airbag light was on, the wrench indicator and speedometer was at zero. My truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear at approximately 25-30 mph. I was able to stop safely at the shoulder and turned the ignition off and restarted. My truck started normally. I went to ford huntington beach and described the situation. After evaluating dealer stated trans fluid full, poss lead frame damage and valves getting stuck. $1600!i informed the dealer of the pending recall for the transmission on this vehicle and was informed that it only covered a software upgrade. Damage caused by a known fault should be covered by the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle decelerated without manual force with the illumination of the check engine light. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle the dealer was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 200.
Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear while in motion, speed ometer and mileage goes to zero, rpms starts to run high, and the tool light on the dash board comes on, incity streets and on highway driving. I have to stop and shut down the vehicle and wait a few minutes. When i start up the vehicle and put it in drive gear the transmission jerks.
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
135,987 mi. 2013 ford f 150 econoboost powersteering assit went out!notice a traction fault couple days ago and it went away after i shut off my truck. The steering never did this and it happened in a parking lot making a sharp left turn! and then while trying to drive out of the parking lot turning out to the intersection no power steering????just last year i had to replace my throttle body because my truck would go limp while driving! why isn't there a recal on the steering for this year?
Oil and radiator fluid leaks causing engine smoking and nauseating odor when heater turned on while engine cold or cold exterior temps.complete loss of engine and drive power randomly lasting 15-60secs, then all numbers ie: gas milage, speed, mileage become dashes, speedometer quits working, on highways and city street. Pulling over shutting off and restart will reset until next random episode.rough jerks and occasionally a bang with jerks (feel like it comes from the axels) usually at low speeds. More often in parking lots but in traffic jams on highways.once transmission recall complete it ran fantastic for a week and a half. Now it's worse than ever and engine light comes on for a day and then goes off.
1. Loss of brakes resulting in pedal going all way to floor at 35 mph city. Recall 16s24 but forddealership is saying my vehicle is not included2. Loss of engine power while attempting to merge onto highway at 65 mph, this has occurred three times.3. Recall 19s07: brought into dealership, stated they don't have the software yet to remedy the problem of sudden power train downshift prime ford857 portland rd saco maine 04072 service manager :stacey drummey 207-571-5035
My family was driving home from a trip on the interstate in rainy weather conditions for the majority of the trip.on two or three different occurrences, when accelerating to pass or merge, the truck engine shuddered and failed to provide power necessary to accelerate.never did it completely stall, but there was a noticeable shuddering of the engine and the truck felt like it was riding over rough pavement.i had read about this issue with the ecoboost engine in the f150 (unfortunately after i bought the truck) but had never experienced it until yesterday.when i felt the shuddering of the engine, i eased off the gas and gently reapplied as i had heard about instances of the vehicle completely stalling when pushing the accelerator to the floor.if it would have stalled last night on the interstate, in stormy weather, late at night, it would have been a scary and very dangerous incident.when i called my local ford dealer today and asked him about service bulletins, recalls, or possible fixes, he acted like he had never heard of the issue before...
Vehicle started nose diving as i like to call it from going 45 miles per hour to a claw.speed controls quit working and tool light came on.code reading: p0722, was told there was a recall for the output speed sensor (oss) and i need to check into it.
Recently experienced speedometer, odometer, cruise control, blinker control, and transmission shifting quits working. If i shut off and start again problems goes away. I had researched the issue and it is the speed sensor. They have a tsb but my vehicle is not included even though it has the exact same issues. A ford dealer said to replace the lead frame, again the exact same issue of the tsb. Today, while traveling at 70mph on the highway it suddenly downshifted causing the tires to lock up and squeal and dropping my speed rapidly. Thank goodness no one was riding my tail. Very scary incident, afraid to drive vehicle now. Very disappointed with ford as i have seen many people have this same issue and it has not been addressed. It's unsafe for us that have these vehicles and for others on the road with us. Maybe we need to file a class action lawsuit.
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.
My lead frame, output speed sensor went out at around 110,000 miles and caused my vehicle to stall completely. This occurred while in the middle of a very busy state hwy intersection and almost caused me to get hit by semi truck and trailer. Very dangerous situation. The readout on the mechanics computer was "output speed sensor"
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the failure recurred approximately five times. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. North county ford (450 w vista way, vista, ca 92083,(760) 945-9900) was contacted and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
The truck shifts into emergency mode while driving and i have to pull overand stopshut off vehicle and restart. While in idle the vehicle shakes.it is at the ford dealer in beatrice nebraska and they have stated that the electric throttle body needed replaced... 400$ repair.also, air conditioning compressor went out 1500.00 repair on a 2013 vehicle!
When the truck was in cruise control, the engine started randomly downshifting all the way to 1st gard.
While in motion on a main road the truck spontaneously downshifted from 5th gear to third gear and if not for the seatbelt would have thrown me through the windshield. The check engine light revealed a p0720 code after this happened and the truck is not shifting properly.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that when he attempted to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle rapidly accelerated as the rpms increased to 4000. The contact applied the brakes and shifted into neutral however, the vehicle did not respond and the rpms remained at 4000. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.updated 11/20/14 updated 08/28/2017*ct
Vehicle is down shifting to gears while the car is in motion, causing the vehicle to come to a abrupt stop. I was going 55 mph and the vehicle down shifted without notice, causing the vehicle to swerve into on coming traffic. This has happen several times, i do not feel safe operating the vehicle. Took it to the dealership and was told that there was nothing that they could do to fix the issue, due to the engineers had not came up with a solution. I was given an estimation date of june of when ford would have a system upgrade. Meanwhile, i stuck with a truck payment for a vehicle i cannot safely drive.
2013 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to engine continued to stall after dealership replaced throttle body unit.the consumer stated he had two units fail within a seven month period, that caused the acceleration to shut down. When it incidents occurred, he was forced to coast to a safe location to re-start the vehicle.
The vehicle will downshift from any higher gear to first gear with no warning at any speed. The rear tires sqeal and the whole truck jolts. It is happening more often in the last month.
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.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle was shifted into third gear and decelerated on its own. The contact stated that the tachometer and speedometer ceased to display and the instrument panel went blank. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 102,000.
Upon hard acceleration to pass on highway the truck lost power check engine light continually flashed and shuttered when attempted to give truck any acceleration. After a few minutes of driving on shoulder to get to safe exit vehicle seemed to reset and regain all functions and power.

My son was driving his 2013 ford f150 truck at 9:10pm on 4-25-21 and it suddenly downshifted which created a safety hazard.he said the rpm's went very high and the speed dropped instantly like an engine brake- thank goodness no one was closely following him. He was going at a slower city street speed on grande. We contacted the local dealership and had an appointment for 3 days later. The vehicle was in their shop all day and then the service guy called my son and said he needed to order a part and it would be an indefinite amount of time before the part arrived. My son specifically asked him is it safe to drive? he said yes but stay off the highway. I called the dealership this morning and was told that it was documented in the service notes that the vehicle is unsafe to drive and it could be 3 months before the part arrived. This is a 2013 ford f150 and this is a known safety hazard- my sons truck has demonstrated the exact issue in the recall. The truck is unsafe to drive as documented in s notes - my son needs a car to drive to school and work. The dealership says people are driving them just be careful- safety recall is for a reason. I have called ford customer service 3 times and they refer to the dealership to provided a loaner- they say they have none but on one service representatives desk there was note to "get a loaner for ms. S". We parked the truck at the dealership and they have the key since it is unsafe to drive- they would not provide us in writing a statement it was safe or unsafe to drive.
Just bought this truck for a great deal of money. This has happened several times, with both my wife and i. Driving at low and higher speeds trying to merge or pass another vehicle. As we apply the accelerator to pass or merge there is a lose of power and the truck almost stalls. We have almost been in 6 accidents because of this issue. I took my truck back to phil long of colorado springs, co. And was told i was lying and they have not had any other complaints and they could look at it for $150.00 as my truck is brand new and still under warranty, im not happy i cant drive my truck safely and feel like ford has let me down. Don't seem to be getting any post sale customer service. Please help.
May 22, 2013- while driving south on i-55 and merging onto i-12, i was traveling approximately 35 mph when i gave the truck gas to accelerate into oncoming interstate traffic of 70+ mph.my truck completely went limp and i could not accelerate at all with the check engine light coming on.i was in real trouble at this point so i pulled off with one tire in the grass to avoid a serious accident and potentially being killed.approximately 1 minute later the truck regained power and i continued to my destination with the check engine light going back off.may 23, 2013- i called ford dealership where i bought my vehicle and they explained to me that nothing was wrong if the warning light went off.stating the system does this as an environmental precaution?may 28, 2013- i was traveling in galveston, tx at 25 mph when the check engine light came on again.i did attempt to give it gas to see if the same problem was occurring and it once again would not respond with the check engine light staying on permanently this time.i parked my truck for work until june 11, 2013.i took a picture of my dash to document the warning light.called ford dealership @ 7:20 a.m. On 6/10/13 explaining my situation. He stated that over the phone it sounds like the inner cooler. He explained to me that it is not dangerous and not to worry. He said the part was an updated part and they would have to run diagnostics to know the problem for sure. Dropped truck off at ford dealership @ 11:10 a.m. On 6/12/13.received phone call from ford @ 3:20 on 6/13/2012. They told me that it was not my inner cooler because my truck has this so called updated inner cooler and they replaced my catalytic converter. They assured me this was fixed and would not happen again since the system was updated.the power loss happened two more times since and has me really worried to drive it.
Ford recall number 19s07. 3.5 l engine. Vehicle in motion. City street and highway speeds. Problem. Unintended downshift into first gear causing abrupt wheel speed reduction. No available remedy from ford motor company.
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 the vehicle was in motion the truck suddenly downshifted and caused the engine to rev to max rpms. This resulted in a sudden jolt of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration. Vehicles traveling behind me had to slam their brakes to narrowly avoid rear ending me because the truck slowed down so suddenly and with no brake lights as a warning. On several occasions in the last 2 days since this happened, the speedometer has acted erratically by going up and down from 0 to highway speed of 60mph while i was traveling with cruise control set at 60. The transmission seems to shift erratically into a gear that would match the speed of where the speedometer indicates even though the true speed is 60mph. These sudden down shifts seem to have damaged my transmission because the truck now has issues going into gear from a stop and will rev to over 4000 rpm without shifting into 1st gear to start moving. Once it's moving, the transmission often shifts erratically when the speedometer acts up. I will not drive the truck anymore except to have it repaired because it is too dangerous.
Reported this problem before and now it getting worse it was just the transimission shifting from high gear 6 at 70 mpg in cruise and when i tap the breake peddle to disengage the cruise it dowm shifted to low 1 and the rpm went from 2500 to 6500 and stay in low until i came to a stop then everything went back to normal it now also blown transimission lines and wheni take off from a side street of stop lightit will take off ok then about the time i reach the center of the street it will sfift into nuteral i can step or pump the gas peddle but nothing happens it just goes into a slow role after 3 to 5 sec it then jumps into gear and takes off normal again also at slow speeds you can hear and feel it clunking into and out of gear and with a metallic sound some timesonce in the snow had it in 4x4 at parked it and turned it off the next day i back it out of the drive then shifted it into drive then the transfer caseshifted it out of 4x4 and it sounded like 2- 8 lbs sledge hammers smashing together and jarring the hole truck this in the beginning has only happen a few times but i was on the freeways at hi speeds i dont drive it on the freeways now and because the dealer ships want a $100 each time i take it in for the same problem and they dont do anything and plus i paid eatra for the platinumwarrenty so if i have to leave it i get aloner and i have even been able to get a loner even when it took them over a week to install the transmission lines after they blow out from stop and going in on residential streets also when the trucks shift from high to low you can hear the solenoids shifting all overe under the dash floor infront of the seat along with the dash light flashing even one with a eng with a trans attached
Driving on interstate at roughly 70 mph with cruise control engaged, truck lost power and started to coast.speedometer swept to 0 indicated speed, tachometer indicated engine at idle speed, around 1000 rpm, while coasting from 70 mph slowing to roughly 40 mph.vehicle regained powered drive briefly then again lost power and coasted.after resuming coasting, the back tires then breifly locked up, vehicle shuddered, then resumed coasting.extremely dangerous as vehicle being driven in traffic on interstate and became nearly uncontrollable.explanation from dealer service department was that the wiring harness from transmission to ecu passes through firewall through a grommet that is known to fail.the wiring chafes and causes a short and the transmission to malfunction.apparently a tsb is issued for repair at customer's expense per dealer but i have not been able to find it.this appears to be a proverbial ticking timebomb for f150 owners and should absolutely be subject to a recall.
I was merging onto the highway while it was raining.in attempting to accelerate to merge in front of a semi my vehicle stated shuttering violently and lost power.i could not get past 40mph.the check engine light was flashing.this was after the truck had been running for two hours.the semi almost rear ended me as i got off the road as soon as possible.i shut the truck off and restarted the engine and it ran fine after that.i took the truck back to my dealer the next day and they could find nothing wrong, not even an error code.the truck has a ford 6 cylinder eco boost engine.
When first accelerating early in the morning the truck accelerates suddenly when 1st taking off. This really became a problem when someone stepped in front of me, the truck took off and then i had to stop suddenly. I have reported to ford and taken it in twice, but they insist no one has had this problem. The motor's rpm fluctuates about 200-300, then settles down.the visibility has been a problem since day one. Ford replaced the wiper blades, but the problem is still there. I have back to the dealer 3 times and all they say is "we can duplicate the problem".
My truck downshifts without cause, sometimes to 1st gear, and on one occasion my wheels skidded (which was witnessed by my neighbor who was walking his dog and was startled by the skid). The speedometer goes to zero even while moving - i have video from my cell phone of this happening while going approximately 75 mph on the freeway. When this happens all other gauges go to dashes, including the mileage, mpg, etc.the transmission will slip into 2nd and 5th gears and will not go to any other gears.it sometimes remains in 3rd gear even at a dead stop.turning the truck completely off sometimes "resets" things, but only temporarily.i have contacted a dealer about this and they looked up my vin and told me there are no recalls for my truck year - even though the same types of things were occurring with 2011-12 f150's, and those are the subject of a recall. This is a safety issue: it happens without warning, sometimes on the freeway traveling at high speeds, sometimes while sitting at a stop light and it shifts to 3rd gear and hardly will get going.i called ford customer service and explained everything and they said they would report to nhtsa but since it is out of warranty and there is no recall, i would most likely be responsible for the cost of repair. I pointed out a letter sent by nhtsa to ford on january 18, 2018 addressing issues with my truck model and year, but that did not change anything in the representative's mind.i believe there needs to be consumer protection on this, both from a safety and financial aspect, by nhtsa.i have video of what happened on the freeway with the truck downshifting to 5th gear and remaining there, and when traffic slowed the truck downshifted to 2nd gear and would not shift to any other gear.i had to pull off the freeway with hazard lights flashing and turn off the truck and restart it to try to "reset" things.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle independently decelerated to 5 mph. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and operated as intended. The maintenance required light was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact contacted trotter ford lincoln (3801 bobo rd, pine bluff, ar 71603, (870) 535-4321) however, the mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
While entering i-275 after a football game, i was attempting to merge into traffic, and the acceleration was none existent. I was nearly run off the road by another driver. The acceleration finally kicked back in after approximately 5-7 seconds. The problem continued intermittently even after the vehicle was reprogrammed by ford. Several months after the initial occurrence, while attempting to cross 3 lanes of traffic, the same problem occurred again and i was nearly t-boned by a semi after it stalled in the middle of the highway. After several seconds, the acceleration kicked in and i nearly plowed over a pedestrian. Ford seems to be oblivious that there is a problem.
My wife, grandchild and i driving about 30 mph in icy conditions and truck shifts into 1st gear and had to control vehical to come to stop, i did nothing wrong ,while driving, this is a serious safety issue, i drove the vehical the rest of wy on pins and needles.is there anything i can do to have this problem solved,thank you.
When accelerating the engine shut off without warning.after the dealer provided service for this issue, the engine shut off while decelerating to a stop and again while accelerating from this stop. Most recently the engine has been very sluggish at times while attempting to accelerate.
Truck went into limp mode on me and lost power when wrench light came on. Almost had me cause an accident because of speed dropped instantly.
While driving 75 mph down the interstate the transmission shifted to 2 gear and locked up tires for a split second before shifting back up. I was in traffic and took truck off road into the median, thankfully was able to maintain control of the vehicle before coming to a complete stop. The transmission basically has a mind of its own at times i've been told it is a output speed sensor and will have that replaced. It appears that the 11' and 12's have a recall but not 13' this is a very dangerous issue that needs serious attention be taken care of by ford
2013 f150 xlt w/ ecoboost42k cost , had to accelerate to get out of the way of a potential accident and the engine stalled started missing barely missed totaling the truck had to plow in to a grass median to keep from being hit. I was able to restart the truck and get it home andhave not driven it since. I am so disappointed. If this is not a safety issue i don't know would be, this is scary stuff.
Was accelerating entering interstate i95 north bound from an on ramp and suddenly my vehicle lost power and began to stall and shutter.the truck rapidly lost power plus speed and a tractor trailer truck almost ran in to the back of me.i dealt with this issue for the remainder of my 500 mile trip to nyc (and still dealing with this issue today now weekly bases).once back home i took the truck to the dealership who was aware of misfire issues with my truck model (apparently it is known by the manufacturer that the truck stalls and misfires issue and said i had all the latest updates however still today i experience stall and misfire mainly under hard acceleration.lately the issue has worsen and i am told by the manufacturer that there is nothing that they can of will do about it until they come up with a fix.this vehicle is a major safety risk period.i have asked the manufacturer over and over to correct the problem however they simply told me they don't have a fix for is as of yet. I am asking that you look into this and investigate my concern please don't wait until someone god forbid loose their life because this is a major safety concern.we need to be more proactive than reactive.the ford f150's equipped with the turbo eco boost engine is a major safety hazard it is just a matter of time before someone gets hurt and loose their life before something might be done - that is the sad part.please i beg you to look into my concern and follow up asap.just last night my vehicle stalled i have to constantly drive it cautiously. I only have less than 14,000 miles on the vehicle because i am scared to drive it - i don't want to sell it to no one else because i would feel bad knowing the major safety issues this vehicle has - i just can't bring myself to putting someone in a vehicle that could hurt them.please get behind ford and investigate this issue.
While driving on the city street the transmission jumped from higher gear to a lower gear for no reason.transmissionseems to be unable to decide what gear it should be in after stopping at red light. Transmission would be in a high gear and almost unable to take off from a dead stop.after turning vehicle off and cranking up again it seemed to work fine. Then when pulling out onto the highway from a side road i attempted to go and mytruck would barely move, i was almost hit by an oncoming vehicle because my truck would not go into the proper gear and take off as designed to. I am afraid to drive it anymore because i may go to take off and not be ableto and get hit by oncoming traffic.i also am afraid i may be going down the road and the transmission jump into a lower gear and cause me to lose control and have a wreck. This is a very dangerous problem to have.
Truck downshifted to first gear while traveling on freeway going 70mph.lost control when rear tires started losing traction.
The truck will suddenly down shift while driving.the is after completion of the recall in 2019.three times the truck has skipped gears on breaking.once while breaking to make a turn causing the truck to almost stall. Once going down a dirt hill causing the back wheels to lock up and slide.didn't cause an accident.once after going over a speed bump causing the truck to jerk suddenly and made the driver think they hit something.
When entering onto the interstate i felt the truck was not getting up to speed. I then noticed on my dashboard a big wrench. I felt my truck continue to not gain speed even though i was stepping on the gas.the screen then went black and and when the dashboard came back on i had nothing showing. No mph ,fuel economy, etc and i was stuck in 5th gear.i could not increase speed but only decrease ifi stepped on the break.i don't know how fast i was going but it was not fast at all since everyone was passing me(maybe 40 mph).i also noticed my airbag light was on. I had to pull over on the interstate and restartmy truck.once i did that everything came back on and worked for the rest of the ride. I was recently part of a ford recall but had that fixed.i had the automatic downshifting happen to me 3 times before the first recall was in place. I just got a letter last week that they need to redo the recall, i had the downshifting happen to me and this was not it. This is a entirely different safety issue that is making me afraid to drive my own truck since most of my time is on the interstate. Photos are attached of what was happening to me on the interstate.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f150. The contact stated that while driving in a parking lot, the vehicle suddendly accelerated and crashed into a parked vehicle. The contact indicated that after putting the vehicle in reverse and back into drive the failure recurred, causing the contact to crash into to the vehicle a second time. There were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the defect. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage was 14,000.
Engine looses all power yet is still running very poorly. Engine sputters and will not respond to throttle. Dashboard display shows a wrench. Problem occurs without any warning. Engine will usually restart after approximately 30 seconds and run normaly until next failure. Problem may occur multiple times in a day.my auto diagnostic tool gives p2111 code which indicates a throttle body problem. Problem has occured when stopped or moving at any speed. Check engine light may or may not come on ( not consistent). I contacted ford motor co. Customer service department concerning this issue after reading about a "customer satisfaction program" 13n03 relating to this issue in which ford offers to replace the faulty part at no charge as an extended warranty in lieu of a factory recall according to the nhtsa. I was told that they (ford) may not help with this issue. I was told they would have to review my complaint and would get back to me.
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
I was driving from milwaukee to des moines on sunday sept 15th, 2013, and when i went to pass another driver in dubuque that pulled in front of me the truck lost power and failed to accelerate as i anticipated.it was raining off and on throughout the trip, temp was 55deg, and i had been on cruise control for the majority of the time before this happened.basically, i went to change lanes and pushed the accelerator pedal and instead of gaining speed quickly i received no acceleration causing the cars behind me to have to brake quickly.during this time the check engine light was flashing indicating a mis-fire was occurring at which point i knew what was happening and got off the highway and the mis-fires ceased and after a brief stop i was able to continue my drive.my truck was built on 1/15/2013 and has all the updates to the intercooler ford claims addressed the issue.the issue is definitely not fixed and despite fords claim in their response to the nhtsa investigation this is a safety issue.ford also claims in their response to the nhtsa investigation that many complaints are just against the dealers and not for safety concerns so let me be perfectly clear here this is a safety complaint!
Re: 19n01 transmission molded leadframe. The recalls that ford did provide for my vehicle only included software updates that did not prevent the issue. When this failed my truck went from travelling 45 mph in 6th gear to suddenly shifting to 1st gear. I had my family in the vehicle and i was barely able to avoid having an accident. The issue was not covered by for because i was outside of the warranty coverage. This is unaccceptable because the software updates provided did not prevent this from happening.
When i?m driving the car 60 mph the car is done shifting my service keys, i cannot see how fast i'm driving i cannot see the mileage in my car and my airbag light is come on i have to stop the car started again and everything come back to normal.
The truck will down shift while driving. It has happened a few times now. I was driving about 30mph and experienced a drop in power and the gauges started jumping all over. It also dropped to 1st gear when i was on the highway doing 70 mph. It felt like someone threw the e-break. Quick jerking motion. I had to pull over and shut the truck off. Thankfully my family was not in the vehicle and no one was directly behind me. The few other times it happened i noticed something going wrong so i quickly pulled off the road and shut it down. Turning it off seemed to "reset" things and let me get home. I had a diagnostic ran and it coded #4 spark plug and #4 coil. I had both of those replaced - and experienced the same issue the very next day! ran another diagnostic and it coded the same way! took it to a ford dealership to check it out and their final answer was "needs a new engine". It has 110k miles on it and i bought it less than 1 year ago and it needs a new engine? i have $700 wrapped up in replacing parts that did not need replacing and diagnostics that did not give me a realistic solution. This does not sound like an engine issue- sounds very similar to the recent recall on the 2011-2012 models. Truck is parked in the driveway. No one in my family will be driving it. Hope to hear that ford recognizes the bigger issue here and steps up to take care of this.
I have the recall nhtsa 19v-075 the procedure that ford says to preform did not fix the issue all it did was make sure the check engine light kicks on the transmission still will go too fist gear intermittently ford needs too fix this issue before someone gets hurt or even die's my personal vehicle did shift too first gear at 70 miles per hour on i79 on march 1st
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. The contact stated that the battery cable was removed and then re-installed, and the vehicle functioned normally. After driving 5 miles at 35 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate and lost power. The vehicle was taken to landers ford south (95 goodman rd e, southaven, ms 38671, (662) 349-4300) where it was diagnosed that the speed shaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
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
As i am driving in motion on highway or street the truck will down shift by its self causing me to skid to a stop, as i try to accerlearate it will not upshift, for a minute or two. This has happened many times! causing many near crash conditions.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the wrench icon displayed "major malfunction" and the vehicle stalled without warning on numerous occasions. 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.consumer stated no place in the carfax even show's when consumer brought it in to service. No mention they replaced the short block when a piston shrank in cyl no#3 they replace the long block in march 2017 three weeks back in april now to replace head's engine still had a miss two weeks after that they had to replace throttlebody the light still comes on they can not fix problem. Vehicle purchase dated should be on or before incident date updated 9/12/18
The truck will sometimes just refuse to go and will jump a lot and other times all of a sudden the check engine light will come and the speedometer will stop working and this can make the truck jump a lot.had truck put on computer and it comes up with speed sensor code.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact was driving 55 mph and depressed the accelerator pedal but the vehicle would not respond. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection but they could not diagnose the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500.
I have stopped driving my 2013 ford f150 and can't believe they have not been pulled of the road.they are unsafe to everyone around them.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?
I was traveling along i-85 about 70mph in my 2013 f-150 stx 5.0 when out of nowhere the truck down shifted from overdrive to 2 gear the truck started wheel hopping and barking the tires and was nearly uncontrollable! i was almost hit in the rear several times until i could limp it to the shoulder and if anyone knows the area i was almost in charlotte nc traffic is terrible. Once i gathered myself noticed the seatbelt light came on odometer showed 2 dotted lines with the a wrench sign, also tried to take off aging little power speedometer was not working and would not shift out of 2nd gear. I stopped and cut the truck off and waited about 5 minutes and seem to be okay. The very next day going down the highway about 55mph and it did the same thing except this time the back wheels seem to have locked up and when it let loose i almost got hit trying to the shoulder once again did the exact things as the day before still no check engine light. I called the local dealer and was told nothing could be done until a check engine light came on. Once again after letting the truck set for a bit it seemed okay. So for about 3 days it run fine and i was to leave the next morning for out of town work and my truck is the only means of transportation and just as i pulled from my house it started to act up and the check engine light came on just so happens i live near a parts store chain and the person put the code device on and the code came up with i believe it was p 0720 which was the output speed sensor switch located in the transmission.. Dealer repaired at a cost of $987.00 that i paid that hurt my wallet. I called ford customer service and the agent said that it has happened to other years with same code and the same fix and would open a case to see if there is a way to get ford to pay, so i am keeping my fingers crossed.
While accelerating to enter the hov lane (far left) in heavy traffic the vehicle accelerated on its own to 3500 rpm. Braking did not over-ride the acceleration. Slowed on it's own after 15 miles of 70 mph driving without touching the gas pedal.three months later, while accelerating quickly from a stop, to slow, to start in traffic, the truck accelerated again on its own. Tac read 3500 rpm while pulled over in and out of gear (n).shop unable to replicate issue and have been told to drive it. This is a county of santa clara, california fleet truck.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph and pulling a camper, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The contact pulled over to observe the vehicle and drove home. A local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 42,642. The vin was not available.
Around 100k miles. Truck all of a sudden started to hard shift. Eventually would throw orange wrench light and speedometer would quit working and would have trouble getting the speed up as if it werent shifting. Air bag light will come and stay on. A reboot would take these problems away temporarily. I've read same owners have experienced same issues online on the f150 forum.
Less than 24 hours after tsb 19s07 was performed on my truck, i was entering the freeway when check engine light, airbag light both turned on. Speedometer shut off, read 0, same with odometer. Vehicle refused to shift below 3rd gear. I then had to drive through a merge light to enter freeway and start from 3rd gear. I had to drive the 3 miles or so back home like this. Truck had no issues prior to the recall being done.
The first time the incident happen i was driving about 30 mph on a bright sunny day about 70 degrees out. Itried to go around a car and when pressed the accelerator the vehicle kind of stalled and shook, did not accelerate at all. I let off the pedal and tried again and it accelerated fine. There wasn't much danger involved in this mishap as the other driver and i were the only 2 vehicles on the road for a fare amount of distance. The second time thishappened is what really worried me. I was leaving a gas station preparing to cross a 4 lane highway with a speed limit of 55 mph. This time it was morning about 65 degrees and sunny, i rolled up to the intersection and when an opportunity to cross was presented i pressed on the accelerator and the vehicle shook pretty bad and the engine about died. I hit the brake and the engine worked itself out of the shake. That's when i realized this issue is life threatening. If i would have pressed the accelerator and the vehicle brought me to the center of the highway and stalled there is a very good chance i could have been t-boned! and to top it off another issue i have been having with my 2013 ford f-150 platinum is the bluetooth is rarely capable of syncing to my iphone, so i were to be t-boned the vehicle would have been incapable of utilizing its 911 assist feature and the injured involved in the accident would have to rely on a witness dialing 911.
Getting off the highway the truck would no slow down. It would not shift to 2nd or 1st gear. Hard uncontrolled stop. When tried to start moving again truck lunged forward and started from 5th gear. Drove directly to the ford dealer as this was a safety concern. It switched gears randomly the entire way to the ford dealer from the highway. 2013 47k miles
Vehicle downshifted while coming back from work, speedometer shut itself off and a wrench icon showed on the dashboard
Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and i had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 mph to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 mph and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See ford tsb 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 f-150's too.
Eco boost engine lost power when trying to accelerate and pass. This has happened three times. Ford dealer could not reproducenow and no response from ford. Traveling speed 75 and tried to pass at 85.
Truck was having issues with randomly disengaging from cruise control, loss of power from a stop, and erratic downshifting.on the highway the cruise control would disengage, speedometer would go to 0 then back to its actual speed.from a stop sign/stop light, when the light would turn green the truck would spit and sputter, shifting erratically, rpm would go up but no power.when cruising around 45mph truck downshifted for no reason causing a loud clunking sound, this happened twice consecutively.took is to simmons rockwell to get it diagnosed, after i had already researched the issue and knew what it was, and they replaced the molded lead frame in the transmission.this was exactly the issue they had that caused the recall on the 2011/2012 models.the repair cost was @ $500.i was just reading an article which stated that the nhtsa may order another recall which would include the 2013 model.
Truck's output speed sensor and harness failed while moving through an intersection and downshifted the vehicle into low gear almost causing an accident.ford has a current recall on the software but not the sensor.prior year vehicles also had the same recall and ford replaced the sensor as customer satisfaction.see link: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/04/27/ford-motor-company-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-two-safety-co.html
While merging onto a highway via an on ramp in rainy conditions i was almost involved in an accident when my 2013 ford f150 ecoboost equipped truck lost power and would not accelerate. I was forced to the shoulder as the approaching tractor trailer was unable to stop in time and the impending collision would have caused serious harm to my family. The check engine light flashed for a few moments as we drove slowly on the shoulder and then it went off.no further highway travel was used following this potentially catastrophic incident due to the rainy conditions.one additional incident occurred with the truck one month prior but did not result in the check engine light. When pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street the truck hesitated for a few moments before finally accelerating. When the truck finally responded a large smoke cloud appeared behind the truck and the engine revved much higher than normal. Until the recent event we thought it was an isolated incident. There was no rain or excessive moisture in the air on this particular day.
Driving down the road going about 45mph and lost power to gas wouldn't go over 30mph tool light came on then and number 1 warning light came on. Let it sit for half a hour , turn back on and it must have reset it self p. Drove back home which is 20 miles away and it did it again. I bought this truck brand new it only has 60k miles on it.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While making a turn at approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal operation shortly after the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 22,000.
After driving in rain for a couple hours in my ecoboost f150, i was merging onto an interstate where traffic required heavy acceleration and the vehicle stalled from 60-65 abruptly to 45 mph.the vehicle shuttered and would not accelerate back to highway speeds for nearly a minute.the engine ran extremely rough and was unresponsive to throttle input from driver.i had my family with me and was very upset that we could have been in a very bad accident.the dealership did not inform me of problems with the ecoboost at the time of sale, even though this problem has been going on since the ecoboost introduction.this is a serious safety issue and i find the nhtsa has failed to recall these trucks.the dealership where purchased is marler ford, near alexandria, la. You are not to use my personal information in anyway except to handle this complaint.which includes but not limited to selling or otherwise providing this information to outside agencies.
After driving for several hours on the interstate we had stopped to re-fuel. Upon re-entry onto the interstate the truck failed to accelerate, the check engine light came on, the truck was shaking it took 30-40 seconds before normal operation resumed.this is the 3rd time this has happened, twice on of which were on the interstate while attempting to merge into traffic or pass vehicles. All three times the conditions have been high humidity,rain & traveling at a relatively constant speed for an extended period of time.
Was traveling along i-85 about 70mph in my 2013 f-150 stx 5.0 when out of nowhere the truck down shifted from overdrive to 2 gear the truck started wheel hopping and barking the tires and was nearly uncontrollable! i was almost hit in the rear several times until i could limp it to the shoulder and if anyone knows the area i was almost in charlotte nc traffic is terrible. Once i gathered myself noticed the seatbelt light came on odometer showed 2 dotted lines with the a wrench sign, also tried to take off aging little power speedometer was not working and would not shift out of 2nd gear. I stopped and cut the truck off and waited about 5 minutes and seem to be okay. The very next day going down the highway about 55mph and it did the same thing except this time the back wheels seem to have locked up and when it let loose i almost got hit trying to the shoulder once again did the exact things as the day before still no check engine light. I called the local dealer and was told nothing could be done until a check engine light came on. Once again after letting the truck set for a bit it seemed okay. So for about 3 days it run fine and i was to leave the next morning for out of town work and my truck is the only means of transportation and just as i pulled from my house it started to act up and the check engine light came on just so happens i live near a parts store chain and the person put the code device on and the code came up with i believe it was p 0720 which was the output speed sensor switch located in the transmission.. Dealer repaired at a cost of $987.00 that i paid that hurt my wallet. I called ford customer service and the agent said that it has happened to other years with same code and the same fix and would open a case to see if there is a way to get ford to pay, so i am keeping my fingers crossed.
Today while driving 70mph my truck shifted to 1st gear causing the truck to lock the rear tires, swerve from left to right, rpm's to the max rev limit, loss of power, dash cluster went blank, wrench symbol showed up, then wrench symbol was gone with a blank dash cluster. Truck then jumped to 3rd gear, back to 1st, then back up to 5th gear. Pulled over turned of truck, took out key, re-started truck and issue was gone. This has happened multiple times, however, i was at 10-20mph. Once at 55mph shift to 3rd gear, back to 5th, then to 1st, up to 3rd. Every time the truck will end up at 3rd gear. The truck will not shift down to first manually, you must take of in 3rd gear without any power. There was a recall for 2011-2012 ford f150's. There are multiple complaints all over the internet with these same problems all with years ranging from 2011-2017. O feel this is an ongoing problem with a huge safety concern witb your vehicle going from 70mph down to first gear causing the wheels to lock up and swerve all over the highway. Do people have to die before ford will recognize this is a problem with many years of the model!!!!!i'm happy my family was not in the truck when this happens. I car pool kids everyday on the highway. Would you feel safe doing this knowing that ford knows about this issue from past years. Please make these trucks safe!!! i took it to a ford dealer and they hooked up the computer to my truck, and the computer showed 0 codes found. Every time this happens you turn off the vehicle, re-start it (sometimes you have to do it multiple times) the truck will drive perfect until it decides to act up again.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 20 mph and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failed recurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was later taken to serramonte ford (located at 999 serramonte blvd, colma, ca 94014, (855) 314-5418). The contact presented the recall notification to the dealer and was informed that the technician was not available and would return in six months. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was70,000.
Driving truck on hwy whenturbo went up and transmission down shifted. Also a few times driving in city turbo climbed up rpm and no odometerthey suspect lead frame on transmission
My truck has been experiencing hesitation upon acelleration and is making noises and my check engine light was on. I took it to the dealership on february 2, 2016 be fixed and at first it was covered under warranty. I took it back on february 16, 2016 bc i had to have a ford rental per ford. The truck was repairedbut then it wasn't covered per ford and i had to pay over $400 to get it fixed. My check engine light came on again and it had to go back to the dealership but this time it was covered under warranty. I just got my truck back on april 11,2016 and today on april 14, 2016 the light is back on. I am waiting on a call back from the ford dealership to find out what to do next.
I was driving on the freeway going 65mph when the transmission started switching gears it went from 6 gear to 1st gear in a matter of 1 second, luckily no one was behind me or else i wouldā€™ve got hit. I took it to ford to get recall unexpected transmission downshift fixed, but it didnā€™t fix anything it actually got worse. Now the speed gauges stop working out of no where and it gets stuck in whatever gear i am driving in when this happens 2 codes turn on p0720 output shaft speed sensor andp0721output shaft speed range/performance. My truck had no issues before this recall. My life is in danger when iā€™m driving this truck i have called the dealership but i get the same answer every time that thereā€™s nothing else they can do.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle.the acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time i replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems.when the first issues arose, i was told by service tech at dealership i needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like i said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic.at first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
When pulling out into traffic from a stop i experienced a sudden loss of power from the engine.the engine sputtered and it would not accelerate or increae rpm.after pumping the gas pedal twice the turbos finally kicked in and allowed mwe to once again accelerate.this loss of power while entering the roadway nearly caused a collision.
I was driving my new 2013 f150 ecoboost in the rain and i tried to pull to the left to pass a slower car on the highway. As i went to give it gas, about 90% throttle, the truck felt like it hit a brick wall, stuttered and started shaking. The check engine light came on and i was unable to drive the car about55 mph. If i tried to drive past that it would just shake. The truck had no power. I drove it like this for about five minutes and then the check engine light went off and everything was ok. On the way back about a week later, once again in the rain, the same thing happened. Since then i have tried to duplicate this in dry conditions and the truck performs perfect. Only when it is wet outside does this problem happen.
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.
Ford f150 supercrew 5.0 v8 6 speed auto transmission. Erratic shifting while driving. Sometimes will stay in 5th gear at a stop wont shift down, sometimes when pulling out in 1st gear will not shift up. Bounces back and forth between 1st gear and third or 5th while driving. Shutting off vehicle and restarting sometimes solves issue but becoming more frequent, recall for reprogramming speed output sensor was performed with no resolution. Appears to be the lead frame module issue that was recalled in 2011-2012 ford f150 but not recalled or extended warranty on 2013 models. Very very dangerous, cannot drive this vehicle!
My truck randomly shifts to a higher gear when i'm driving.
The vehicle did not shift to the appropriate gear and acted erratically.the rpms might spike but the truck did not accelerate. Other times the rpms dropped to zero even when i depressed the gas pedal. After first replacing the spark plugs, the dealership replaced the lead frame for a total out of pocket cost of approximately $1,100. I was lucky that the problem manifested itself at lower speeds in town. This could easily have been a serious safety problem under other conditions such as towing a camper/trailer or at high speeds. I see there was a lead frame recall on the 2012 f150s. It seems appropriate that this recall would also be applicable to the 2013s.https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia-mobile/fna/us/en/news/2016/04/27/ford-motor-company-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-two-safety-co.html
Takata recall. I put my truck in drive and as soon as i get over 2-5 mph it shifts from 1st gear to 3rd. When this happens i loss the speedometer and my turn signals will not turn off. Check engine light comes on with a big wrench in the center of my gauges. Will not down shift below 3rd and will not go into 6th. Also the odometer,mpg, and trips all go blank.code p0720. Output speed sensor circuit. I'm told by ford and a transmission shop that it's in the transmission! truck just hit 69147 miles and i haven't owned it three weeks yet.
While traveling at a speed of 80 mph on a major highway, the vehicle stalled due to the malfunction of the lead frame conductor/valve body which is a recalled part. With the help of a truck driver that saw me swerve due to the downshift, i was able to pull over. I had my two daughters (ages 8 & 4) in the vehicle with me.
The vehicle has two "types" of problem that may be related.in some cases, the truck drops down into 1st gear regardless of the speed.this has happened three times since i picked up the truck following the attempted recall repair, but none of these incidences of dropping into 1st gear caused error codes to pop up.in another "type" of incident,the speedometer drops to zero even while in motion, and the vehicle stays in 3rd gear no matter the speed (including when not in motion, even after shifting into park and back to drive, the vehicle automatically jumps to 3rd gear before i even start to move).during this second type of incident, the airbag light came on, as did the wrench/check engine light.this second type of incident triggered many error codes:u0401:68-48b00a0:68-08u0401:00-08p0722:00-68u0401:86-08u0401:00-08u0401:68-08b1083:07-08u0423:00-28
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.
2013- ford f150 ecoboost: i was driving along at highway 100km/hour highways speed. I came upon a car going 70km/hr. It was safe to pass, and as i stepped on the gas to accelerate, my truck lost complete power and decelerated to about 40 km/hr, eventually slowing right down. I tried frantically to push the gas, as there were two semi trucks behind me trying to pass at the same time as me. The trucks both ended up having to pass me unsafely on the shoulder to the left of me, into oncoming traffic. I was able to glide over back to the lane i was in, and eventually rode the shoulder. I continually tried to get power to the vehicle. My engine light was flashing. Eventually after several attempts, my truck did "grab" and shoot forward. The engine light then went off, and for the remainder of my drive, the truck was fine. Again, two days later, the truck did the same thing, but at slower speeds in town. As i read into the issue, i found that this is a "common" problem???? my situation too was during rainy/wet weather, long distance highways the first time, and wet weather, in town, the second time. This is a severely dangerous issue. I too brought my truck to the shop and was told that this issue was being investigated and that ford had solution to try. What boggles my mind is that there are "solution" to try, which means this problem was known, yet when i bought the truck the dealership did not make one single mention, even when i asked if they had heard of any issues with the ecoboost system! the shop just updated the computer, an a day later, it happen again! :)i'm no longer driving my truck on the highway. Not sure who to contact to return my truck. I don't even want it anymore!
I was driving on a highway at 55 miles/h pulling a trailer with a light load. The truck suddenly went from normal engine sound to a louder and louder sound and it slowed down as if i was been dragged backward. The engine sound felt like the truck had down shifted from a higher to a lower gear and was braking on its own while i was trying to compensate by giving more gas so that i could pullover safely. Within a minute the truck stopped still, there was smoke and fire that spread rapidly through the cabine and engine. We nearly escaped. I was unable to completely clear the trailer off the road as the truck had completely stopped. The truck burned completely. Before reporting this incident i called ford, provided my vin number and asked whether there had been any recent recalls on my f150. Ford confirmed that a recall (# 19s07) that impacted my vin was issued in feb, 2019. However, i do not remember receiving any notification from my ford dealership.
The frightening issue i experienced on january 7, 2019 is identical to the reports i have since read regarding this vehicle and the frequent issues that led to the recall for 2010-2012 ford f-150's for unexpected transmission downshifts [nhtsa recall no. / mfr recall no. : 16v-248 / 16s19].while driving 65-70 mph on the interstate, speedometer suddenly and rapidly fluctuated between 40 and 70, then transmission abruptly dropped from 6th/5th gear to 1st gear.as a result, my wheels locked and caused the vehicle to skid into the lane to my right, forcing other cars to swerve out of my way to avoid a high speed collision.it happened so fast, and without warning, that it was difficult to understand what was actually occurring.once stopped (in the middle of the interstate), i drove to the median, turned the engine off, sat for a few minutes to gather my thoughts, restarted the vehicle and drove it slowly to my ford dealership (not on the highway).after inspecting my truck, the ford dealership verified the issue and stated the following (written report attached):ran koec got code p0720 oss sensor circuit fault, ran pinpoint tests, found open in oss sensor which is part of the molded lead frame attached to the valve body, removed the valve body, dissasembled, cleaned and inspected the value body, all valves and bores are ok, reassembled valve body with new molded lead frame assembly and new revised separator plate gasket, installed new clutch feed tube seals and seal between valve body and fluid pump, installed new fluid filter and pan gasket, filled transmission with new fluid reprogrammed pcm and cleared dtcs, verified repairs.despite parallels to the previous recall issue, ford informed me it is not covered (there is nothing i could have done to prevent it) and the total cost to me was $1,418.83.please expand the recall - it will save lives.
While driving the power to my speedometer would go out. Also the truck would increase in rpm's. The last time it happened the wheels locked up on me. In most cases the problem would be fixed once i turned the car off and re started it.
Loss of power while pulling onto highway. Code 2112 (throttle body failure code p2112 which cause the truck to loos all power. Unable to get out of the way when it shuts down. Has happened 3x in 2 days. Have spoken to dealership and they stated that code has nothing to do with losing power. The p2112 obd-ii trouble code is one of number of possible codes that indicates that the powertrain control module (pcm) has detected a malfunction with the operation of the throttle actuator control system. ... Code p2112 is set by the pcm when the throttle body plate is stuck in the closed position. Which this is a major saftey issues while at high speed on the highways.
The vehicle was parked in the driveway and warming up. After a few minutes the rear driver side window shattered.
Started the truck to defrost windows on a cold morning. Both the front defroster and rear window defroster were turned on. It ran for about 10 minutes before i started driving to work. About 5 minutes into my drive i heard a loud pop. I couldn't figure out what happened. It was still dark outside at the time and when i arrived at my work, the parking lot lights revealed that my back drivers side window had shattered. I did notice on my drive that the rear defroster had turned off which it normally doesn't but i didn't put it together that the pop and the defroster were connected.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving, the rear window exploded without warning. The vehicle was taken to performance ford lincoln (906 nj-10, randolph, nj 07869) and the contact was informed that nothing could be done. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that he would have to pay for the repair. Case number: 1437259 was opened. The failure mileage was 88,000.
I started my truck with remote start to warm up when i got in truck i turned the rear defrost on and my drivers side back glass shattered temperature out was 42degrees truck was in garage my little girl was in car seat in the middle what if glass would have gotten it her eyes just glade it shattered and didn't blow up.
During the start up of my 2013 ford f-150, i proceeded to utilize the rear defroster to get the ice off the rear window. The rear window is comprised of 3 panels of glass, one on each side and the sliding window in the center. Last week, the rear defroster worked intermittently, after several attempts at depressing the button it would eventually turn on, not a week later it does not work at all. Thinking it was possibly the fuse or a problem with the button itself, i searched online to find out if there was something i could do, and found that this is a common issue and requires replacement of the entire back glass and that some had this covered under warranty. I called the ford dealership and talked to the repair department and was told by the manager that he has the same vehicle and the same problem and that the only way to get the rear defrost to work is to replace the entire back glass and that the cost is around $2200.searching online on the f150 forum boards finds that this is a common problem and the fix is replacement of the entire backglass. Because my vehicle has 50,000 miles and is past the 36,000 miles of the warranty it is not fords problem.as this is a safety issue (visibility through back glass) i searched on the governments recall website here and found similar complaints and that many have also experienced the windowing cracking, spidering and exploding when using ' which tells me do not turn on the rear defrost for fear of a broken window exploding while im driving.this is a safety hazard as it distorts and skews my vision and ability to see out of it safely until i can attempt to have ford rectify this issue.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. Without warning, the windshield wiper blades failed to shut off and damaged the windshield.

I have had rear window issues since i bought the truck. First was when the rear defrost/mirror defrost wasn't working. They replaced the window in 2014. Second time was in april of 2017. We had a heavy frost and i couldn't see out the back window or the side mirrors, so i turned on the defrost. About ten minutes lateri was driving down the highway and heard what sounded like a gunshot. I immediately started looking around thinking someone shot at me. I didn't realize right away due to the rear headrest covering a large portion of the window, that the drivers side stationary section of the back window had exploded. The glass stayed intact, however tiny slivers of glass fell onto my daughters car seat which was in front of this window. Ford did replace the window, reluctantly and i paid an insurance deductible, even though the internet is full of people having the same problem. I recently went to turn on my rear defrost again, and found the same issue as the first problem, where the defrost wont work and the likely fix is replacing the rear window. This will be the fourth window in four years. Is this something i should expect to do like oil changes and tires?this is ridiculous. The exploding window can really be an issue. Someone may panic and think its a gunshot, and cause an accident or if someone was sitting there, they could get glass slivers on them. This appears to have been a known issue for years with these windows. Why haven't they been forced to redesign it?
When out to truck in the morning to clean snow off. I retrieved a pair of gloves out of the backseat and nothing was out of the ordinary. It was approximately 7 degrees f outside. I then went inside and remote started the truck. After a few minutes i went to get in the truck, looked in the rear view and noticed the middle, sliding rear window was open. I turned around and found that the center glass was broken and had shattered into the truck. The two side panels were both completely shattered and still intact. I took the truck to the dealer and asked the parts and service department if this was something theyhad heard of. I told them i felt like the rear defroster combined with the cold exploded the window. They said they had never heard of that. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being repaired at a cost of $1,420. I have filed a complaint with ford and am awaiting a call back as they opened a case number for me. As this stands now it looks like it will come out of pocket and will be filed against insurance.
I used the remote start to warm up my car (it was 3 degrees fahrenheit that night), i got in, started the truck, then started messing with my phone (still parked in my driveway). I hear a loud pop and looked around and found my drivers side rear window had shattered (spiderweb cracks through the whole thing, window still intact though). Couldn't have been a rock or someone throwing something at my truck since i was backed into my driveway.

While his wife was driving at 15 mph, there was an abnormal banging noise detected and noticed the rear windshield had exploded without warning or impact.the contact called hermann ford inc located at (614 s.

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.
On 02/20/2021 parked my vehicle in my driveway. All glass was fine and intact. Morning of 02/21/2021 i remote started my truck to leave. Absolutely nothing has changed over night or the morning of, truck is sitting exactly where i parked it. No adverse weather.a few minutes later i am pulling out of my driveway and i look into my review mirror and see my driver's side, back window glass completely shattered. I know nothing has hit it from the inside, plus the very large headrest is in position and protects most of that window from the inside. I know nothing could have hit from the outside as a i have a properly fitted century cap on the bed of the truck and this protects the glass from being struck on the outside.i look up information on the internet and find many many complaints of this very issue occurring in multiple years of f150's and many similarly related to remote start, window defroster, allegations.i can not find anything that recognizes this as a recall yet.several articles or videos i saw recommended a complaint through here. This many trucks, same issue, same make, models and quite a year span. This should be a recall.
The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. For example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right directional.it is not possible to merely move the directional lever up (to indicate a right turn) after turning left in one fluid motion.it requires a) holding the lever down to indicate a left turn b) in the middle of that turn, hitting the lever right two times to indicate a right turn. This is contrary to how typical directional levers work.often it is not possible to signal your intentions to other drivers in a timely fashion - or, the driver may hold the lever up, thinking he has engaged the right directional, but has merely disengaged the left.
The contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the rear defogger was activated and the rear window shattered.

Windshield washer nozzles freeze and fail to spray when cold out, even with high concentration of alcohol in washer solvent. Sunshine is sometimes enough to warm them and make them work. I belive they aren't shrouded enough and water from outside enters the nozzles.
I was warming up my 2013 f150 lariat supercrew before leaving my home to head to work.i always use the remote start feature. It turns on the heated seats, climate control and the mirror/rear window defroster.

While opening the sunroof it binds on passenger side and does not open.the sunroof was to be manually manipulated to close while holding down the motor button.ford has issued a tsb, but if this is a widespread problem, a recall should be issued.
Went out to truck one afternoon and the driver side back window was completely shattered. No previous damage or cracks. No apparent damage to vehicle or marks on window. Window was bowed slightly outward with a "crack" going from one corner to the other through the spider webbing. Weather has been quite warm recently, appears to be a stress fracture most likely due to temperature.
At approx 0800 on 12/03/2018 while dropping my daughter off at potomac heights elementry school, we were sitting still waiting in the parents drop off line on the school property when we heard a very loud bang, my daughter pointed at the rear window and said that it was shattered, she pointed at the rear drivers side window, at which time i got out of the vehicle to inspect if we were hit by anything. Upon further inspection you can see no impact to the vehicle or the window. I got back into the vehicle and pulled forward to drop off my daughter and at that time reported to the schools staff what had happened. I asked for them to review their video tape and see if something had in fact hit the vehicle and they said they would and call me back. At approx 0845 i called the local ford dealership after looking online to see that it is a very well documented issue that is happening in ford f-150 from 2010-2018 models. I spoke with doug green, the service manager, and he said there are no recalls or service issues currently but that he was aware of the issue and it is a case by case basis through ford. He requested pictures of the shattered glass and my vin and said he would contact ford with all the information and see how we move forward. Potomac heights elementry school contacted me, mr stark, karl, who is the principal of the school and after reviewing the video he observed nothing hitting the vehicle and witnessed that the vehicle was stationary at the time of the damage, he also reported observing myself getting out of the vehicle to inspect for damages as mentioned above, he has agreed to provide me with a copy of the video and speak with ford if at which time that is needed as a witness of no accident and nothing hitting vehicle and that the vehicle was stationary when incident happened he will also have a better idea of the approx time of when it took place.

Started my truck with auto start and rear defrost cracked my back driver side glass.
I was sitting stationary at a red light in sugar land, texas. I had the rear window defroster on, and i heard a loud "pop", almost like a gunshot. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw my driver side rear window was shattered. Upon further checking, there was no external damage to the window. After reading numerous posts online, it appears there is an issue with this occurring. I believe the rear window defroster heated the glass too much, causing the window to shatter. Pieces of glass fell into my daughter's carseat. Had she been sitting there, she would have been covered in glass.
Windshield washers do not operate below below 25 deg f even if reservoir is emptied of summer fluid and filled with -20 degree f winter fluid at end of summer and purged by running pump before cold weather.washer pump motor runs when actuated so problem appears possibly check valve or nozzles at cowl.cowl area cleared of snow and ice.very angerous visibility condition especially during night driving as windshield remains smeared from other vehicles.
While driving to work on the morning of january 18, 2018, i heard my truck make a fairly loud "pop" sound that came from somewhere directly behind me. Due to the cold temperatures we have been experiencing here in indiana i didn't think much of the sound. I assumed it was just cold parts moving or maybe i had ran over a small pot-hole. After finishing my work day i returned to my truck, which was locked and parked in a safe location away from any hazards, to find my rear window blown out on the drivers side. The window was completely shattered into tiny pieces but managed to stay held together by the factory tint i assume. However there was a small hole where glass was missing in the center portion of the window. One could tell by looking at the window that it had exploded from the inside out because the window was pushed outward toward the truck bed with some small pieces of glass landing in the bed of the truck.
On my ford f150 2013 the back window shattered a few minutes after i remote started the truck. The window had no prior damage or imperfections.the truck was parked when this happened.

2013 f150 ford parked outside on driveway.sunny with temperature roughly 32 degrees fahrenheit. Remote start used to warm up truck.walking out to truck when a loud bang/gunshot type of sound happened without warning.walked around truck and saw that driver's side of the power sliding rear window (3 sections) had started to spider crack.this part of the window then continued to crack until the whole section was spider cracked.(the sharp edges of glass were on the inside of vehicle window.) the vehicle was taken to dealer for evaluation but was told it is out of warranty.the dealer estimated replacement cost is $1,200-1,300 usd. (parts and labor).
After using rear defrost, left side of the rear window shattered with a loud pop, sending bits of glass onto pax in the back seat.after reading online this is a known issue with this model of truck and needs to be a safety recall.
Wipers stuck in delay mode even with wipers off. Every 10 seconds wipers would come on. Took to dealer and they replaced the entire switch module. Was under warranty.
While driving to work on this morning at about 60mph i heard a loud "boom" sound and moments later pulled back the sunroof cover to discover my sunroof had shattered.the glass panel had a hole in the center and all remaining glass was cracked.fortunately, the visor was closed or i would have been showered with glass shards.the remaining glass was protruding upward as if it exploded outwardly.there were no vehicles near me to throw a rock nor was i driving under an overpass or bridge.i took the truck to ford of west memphis and described what happened.the service man said he would submit the repair to ford for approval to repair under warranty since there was no impact that caused the breakage.ford customer service denied my warranty claim so i had to get it repaired under my insurance and pay the difference.$1009.68 and four days later i have my truck back.i inspected the removed glass with the dealer personnel and it is clear that there is a crack at the front center edge of the glass from which all other cracks propagated out from in a fan pattern.there is no sign of impact in this area and its even protected with the rubber seal such that it would be very unlikely that anything could impact the glass there.i am going to write a letter to ford to demand they pay for this repair.
3/5/16:after starting my 2013 f150 xlt remotely to warm up, i proceeded to back down my driveway.i heard a loud pop which startled me enough to stop thinking i may have hit something (i did not).upon inspection, i found the drivers side portion of the three piece sliding rear window was shattered.i looked online and found this to be a common occurence linked to the rear defroster.
Started the truck to defrost windows on a cold morning. Both the front defroster and rear window defroster were turned on. It ran for about 10 minutes before i started driving to work. About 5 minutes into my drive i heard a loud pop. I couldn't figure out what happened. It was still dark outside at the time and when i arrived at my work, the parking lot lights revealed that my back drivers side window had shattered. I did notice on my drive that the rear defroster had turned off which it normally doesn't but i didn't put it together that the pop and the defroster were connected.
Just bought my truck and i auto started it with defrost set to auto. I got in and heard a loud pop only to see my window shattered. Nothing hit it.took it to ford and they wont cover it.

I had my rear defrost on for about 5 minutes on my way to work. I heard a loud pop and stopped to see what happen. I noticed the driver side rear window was shattered.

The glass place that fixed it told be that this is a common problem that ford will not take care of. My truck is a 2013 with 56,000 miles on it.

The rear window behind driver side shattered/fissured into tiny cracks. We had an issue of the rear defroster not functioning the week before this occurred. Having had a bout of extremely cold weather, i went out to warm up the truck and decided to try to see if the rear defroster would work to defrost the rear window and to my surprise the light popped on so i came back into the house while the truck was warming up. Upon walking back to the truck which was parked in my driveway, i noticed the rear window shattered/fissured in tiny cracks everywhere.
Pickup truck has sliding rear window with rear defrost. After using defrost for approximately 10 minutes the rear window shattered with a loud pop. The vehicle was stopped at the time.

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.
One cold morning i remote started my vehicle sitting in my driveway. After leaving the house i noticed the driver side rear window with slider was shattered.there was no exterior damage or something that made an impact.i have also read many other accounts of this issue on ford forums.
Started truck with remote(fob), yesterday morning. I needed to defrost my windows as well. On my way to work,twenty minutes later, i heard what sounded like a gun blast. I thought someone had shot my truck or threw a rock. I looked in my rearview window and the rear driver side window was shattered. I pulled into a parking lot and no signs of impact by a foreign object. The window was completely shattered. After researching this, i see that this seems to be a defective defroster contributing to spontaneous shattering of rear windows on the f150. I called the dealer and they're giving me "i've never heard of this" i'm not buying it. Also, if this had happened today, my small child would have been sitting right there. This is not okay and ford should repair these for customers.
The back glass has shattered 2 times and a burning smell is appearing when i start my truck. I have 2 small kids in carseats and im concerned ! both times my glass shattered i was warming the truck in cold weather. And the back defrost still works which scares me a little. Someone is gonna be injured or killed eventually!
My wife started the truck with the remote start on the morning of 02/05/2018. She did not notice anything out of the ordinary until she got in the truck to head to work. She called me and said that while looking in the rear view mirror it looked like the rear window was shattered. She stopped and took a closer look and realized that it was shattered. We drive the truck every day and have not had any issues with anything flying up and hitting the window.
Driving down the road and a message pops up on the screen.it says "steering assist fault". It should have said omg don't panic and slow the truck to a complete stop and try not to die because you have lost all of your steering capabilities. I could not imagine if i was around too many vehicles or one of my children were driving the truck.this is such a major safety concern that all f150s with this potential problem should not be driven until repaired.with all of the safety measures and companies such as you guys why on earth is this truly life threatening issue allowed? apparently, the 2013 model is not part of the recall for this problem? there are many complaints and many easily found forums talking about this issue. There has to be deaths attributed to this issue.for what is worth the other issues are nonlife-threatening but noless annoying and should be recalled.i have two 2013 f150 fords and both have had their rear windows replaced due to the defrost breaking. The lariat has had it's replaced twice, twice! both trucks have had their sunroof guts replaced.one almost flew off the vehicle driving down the highway.complaints and forums galore talk about all three of these issues.
Backing out slowly out of my driveway i heard a loud pop, confused i stopped grabbed my flashlight and examined. Out of nowhere my rear driver side window next to the slider has shattered. And as soon as i googled the problem it is everywhere. This seems ludicrous for ford not to offer fixes.
A crack appeared on 4/26/16 beginning at the lower seal of the windshield, and extending about 8" upward.the crack was first noted after the vehicle was stationary for approximately 4 hours.there are no nicks present that might indicate this was caused by road debris.
1/26/17:it was 45 degrees this morning so i used the remote start (factory supplied on key remote) to get my truck running before leaving for work. As i walked outside (did not touch the truck), i heard a loud gunshot. Thinking something had fallen on the truck i looked up and it was not parked under anything. I walked around the truck to find that the drivers side panel of the back window was spidered. Again, i was not driving or parked under or around something that could have impacted my truck/window.
Takata recall , the rear defrost does not work and it has happened to multiple people where the rear glass explodes. I have disconnected the cable connecting the rear defrost to stop it from heating up but it is a common issue on 2013 ford f-150 trucks.if the cable connecting the rear defrost behind the driver side is disconnected the light for the rear defrost works and the side mirrors work but once connected again nothing works
I remote started my vehicle in the morning. It was 12 degrees out. Got in the car and drove it about 2 blocks on a slow neighborhood road in a straight line and heard a loud bang inside the cabin. The rear drivers side back panel window had fully shattered. I could not see out of the window and glass was on the inside of my back seat.
Rear window shattered after using remote start with the rear defroster enabled while vehicle was sitting in 30 degree f ambient.much of the broken glass remained in window opening, however small fragments were found on rear seats and floor.
Mine just happened last week. Same thing, i live in pa and it has been cold here in the mornings and i use my auto-start. I got in to go to work and started down the road and went to put the rear defrost on and the light would not come on showing that it was working. I depressed the button several times but no light. It's dark when i head into to work so i could not see the back window very good. After work i left to go home and again went to depress the rear defroster button and it wouldn't come on. When i looked in the rear view mirror, i could see that the drivers side portion of my rear window was shattered. It was still in place but there was a million fractured pieces i'm assuming being held in place by the tint film. With the window still in place i could clearly see that it had not been hit by anything. There were no markings on the outside of the film as it was still in one piece. If you go to the ford authority site there are hundreds if not thousands of these occurrences. Ford should take responsibility for this.
Rear drivers side glass shattered (but remained in place) one cold morning sitting in the driveway warming up when the rear electric defrost was turned on.turned into insurance company for claim.when i took it to auto glass replacement shop they said that this was the third one this week they replaced.
The back window spontaneously shattered without any impact.i live in western oregon where temperatures are not extreme. This happened overnight and i noticed it driving to work the next morning.

Used remote start to warm vehicle and the 1/3 of the rear glass (the driver's side) exploded and spidered.research shows this is a common problem and likely due to faulty defroster.ford doesn't part out the glass so the entire rear window needs to be replaced at a cost of over $650.my vehicle is garaged when at home and is in excellent condition with only 51400 miles.since it is over 36000 miles, ford won't do anything or assist with costs.
After remotely starting my truck, i was sitting in the driver's seat putting on my seat belt and preparing to start driving home when i heard a loud "bang".i got out thinking that something hit the truck, but saw no sign of anything like that had occur.after arriving at home, i opened the back door on the driver's side to retrieve my work belongings, that is when i noticed that the driver's side panel of the rear window was shattered and completely spider-webbed.the temperature at the time of this occurrence was approximately 32 degrees fahrenheit.the remote start setting for the rear defroster is set to automatic, so i don't know if it came on during the remote start.the vehicle was stationary and idling at the time of the incident. The vehicle is a 2013 ford f-150 fx4 with 27,000 miles.the vehicle is equipped with rear defroster and a power rear window.

Mar 15, 2015 at approx. 1030am,started vehicle with remote start fob, after warming for approx. 10 mins left traveling at roughly 15 mph, heard loud bang/pop, noticed that rear drivers partial window was shattered. Traveled approx 1/8 mile and returned home to investigate and found no visible damage on window or area around window.researched online with other ford owners and found multiple other occurrences as above.
Remote started the vehicle, as is done most mornings.after about a 10 minute warm up, i leave for work.travelling down the road, the temperature is 6 degrees and i notice what looks like ice on the driver side pane of the rear windshield.i attempt to turn on the defrost and it doesn't work.i then realize this pane of glass is actually shattered and it is not ice as thought before.after doing research, i see that this is somewhat of a common problem.i am not sure exactly what caused the problem, but assume it must be related to the defroster as i am sure it is automatic with the remote start below certain temperatures.
The rear window shattered! after haven driven for an hour and a half in sub freezing temperatures, with the mirror defroster on, when i arrived at my destination i got out and closed the door and i heard a loud pop and the tinkling sound that shattered glass makes as it falls to the ground. It seems to me that the rear window and in combination with the mirror defrost system is a crude "open loop" heating system that works on a timer instead of a temperature feedback loop to control the temperature of the glass. The rear window defroster is also tied to the driver's side and passenger's side mirror defrosters, so when you turn the mirror defroster on the rear window defroster is also on.i have a cap on the truck so the rear window doesn't see as much cold air as the mirrors do, but all three stay on the same amount of time. There is a timer circuit that turns the defroster off after 10 minutes and the mirrors immediately frost back up once it turns off, so i hit the button and they come back on again. You have to do this every 10 minutes while you are driving in freezing temperatures or the mirrors are unusable. I don't use the rear window defroster, but i need the mirror defroster. So my theory is that because of the "cheap" design of the window defroster system, the rear window over heated to the point that the pressure developed inside the cab when closing the door shattered the overheated glass. The exact problem happened before on 01-29-2014!
The rear window shattered and part of the glass fell outward after the defrost had been turned on.sitting still in a parking lot in front of a business.
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.
"window shattered" driving straight ahead on roadway for approximately 10mins when suddenly the rear window shattered. The rear window on my f150 is a 3 piece window with the center piece being a slider. The left rear window shattered. Temperature was upper 20's and rear defroster was on. There was no intentional act and, this was obvious a defect of some kind occurred. Photos were taken and a police report was filed for documentation purposes. Complaint made with ford and a claim # was provided but no assistance provided whatsoever.
Sunroof shattered, after exiting my work place parking garage, at 12:45pm, i soon entered the on ramp to the local loop freeway and accelerated to enter the freeway at approx. 25 mph my sunroof shattered and glass particles came inside the vehicle compartment.loud explosion sound and small glass shards got in my eyes, on my skin and everywhere in the automobile.the sunroof is still basically intact and budged slightly outward or upward.
Rear defrost fails to work. Rear window explodes upon use sending glass into occupant space.
Remote started truck. 10 minutes later i got in, put key in ignition and about 30 seconds later i heard a loud pop. I looked back and the rear window was shattered. Defrost was on.
As reported by hundreds of other users, a faulty rear defroster has caused the rear windshield to spontaneously shattered and got pieces in the rear seat. Luckily i was parked at my work parking lot, and there was no child in the backseat. There needs to be a recall or a fix for this. As well as reimbursement for my window.
Started vehicle with remote starter.rear glass behind the driver seat shattered.rear glass assembly has already been replaced once.this is a very common failure in f150's built from 2010 to 2014.
Drivers side section of the rear sliding glass (there are 3 sections of glass)has imploded into hundreds of small pieces of glass.the glass is still holding in place, but it would not take much to make it collapse.nothing hit the glass or put it in a bind.normal street/highway driving.the vehicle was stationary/parked when the implosion occurred.
I was walking to my vehicle after work in a paved employee parking lot and pushed the auto start on my key. The truck started and i stopped and talked to a coworker for about 1 minute and continued to my truck. After i turned the key to the on position i checked behind me to pull out of the parking spot and the rear drivers side of the 3 piece window was shattered. No marks from an impact to the window. You can't tell the window is shattered from the outside of the truck without getting very close to the window. I do not use the rear defrost option on the truck because i was told that it can malfunction and cause the rear window to shatter. After doing an online search i found out that the auto start can activate the rear defrost. I noticed during the online search that this is happening to a lot of people. Unfortunately some of them more than once to the same truck.
I own a 2013 ford f-150, fx4 ecoboost, while driving in regular conditions on a tropical weather, a few minutes after turning on the rear window defroster i heard a loud noise, like a gunshot, then realize the rear (driver side) window of my truck had shattered spontaneously. Upon inspection there were no signs of impact on either side. I was really concernedbecause i had a toddler sitting on a car seat in the middle of the backseat. After looking up in the internet i found dozens of people that have experienced the same issue most of them with a negative response from the dealers. As of now i'm trying to work the issue out with an authorized dealership in my local area. But if i get a negative response, i'll have to go thru my insurance and pay a premium increase since the cost of repairs are around $1,200.00. Ford and the window manufacturer carlite should definitely look into this issue and respond for this fault.
. I had remote started the vehicle in the morning. On the way to work the drivers side rear window later shattered with a loud pop with no impact or previous damage. I believe this is due to the rear defroster not shutting off. I have read many other complaints of the exact same thing happening (same section of the sliding window) but ford has yet to accept any responsibility for this.
Takata recall for ford f150 2009-2014 equipped with rear sliding window with defrost feature.rear window or sections of the rear window will shatter if the rear window & side mirror defrost system is engaged.a section of mine broke today while driving home from work. Had 22 miles to drive in the snow but it was not that cold outside and i only had the rear defrost on when we first left work and headed out. Defroster times out after about 10 minutes so it was off for about 30 minutes and then the drivers side panel pops and cracks. I even had the rear window open a wee bit so i could push more air through the cab to defrost the windshield better.. When i first heard it, i thought a tree branch hit the top of the roof. But the noise sounded a little bit different than some object hitting the truck.the driver rear panel is shattered between the outer and inner glass panels. Definitely around the heating element wires and the panel is still intact.
Driver side rear slider glass exploded when putting on the defrost, traveling 55 mph at zero degrees outside, called ford and they said not there problem, had to fix myself.
Using the factor installed auto-starter i remotely started my f-150 to warm up, outside temp was 29f. After approximately five minutes of running my wife and i got into the truck to drive to work.within a minute we heard a loud bang and we thought someone threw a snowball and hit the truck.when we looked in the rear window towards the noise we saw that the left rear window section exploded; luckily the the coatings kept the pieces contained.the rear defroster was not turned on by neither of us.

Stopped at a red light and turned on the rear window defroster. The indicator light came on then flickered on and off. Less than one minute later the driver's side back window shattered. The temperature outside was approximately 60 degrees.
Early cold morning rear window defrost was on when the back rear driver side glass exploded. Was driving to work nothing was around this glass. It had been on about 15 minutes when it happened. Very loud pop at 60 mph on a four lane divided highway.
Remote started the vehicle at night, around 7:30 pm on a 23 degree temperature night in central indiana. We then got into the vehicle roughly 5 minutes later. Both doors were then closed and the key was put into the ignition. Once the key was in the ignition, we heard a very loud "bang" noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. We noticed the driver's side 1/3 of the power sliding rear window was shattered. We exited the vehicle to inspect the damage. Nothing was present in the bed of the truck to cause us to believe something had hit it. Upon further investigation online and a certified mechanics opinion, it has come to our attention that this is a "common" issue with ford f-series trucks. The rear defrost mechanism becomes too hot during remote start and causes the tempered glass to become unstable and shatter.
Had the truck parked overnight in the garage. Still cold out so used the remote start to heat up the truck. As i was backing out, i noticed the back windshield behind the driver was totally shattered. Nothing hit the window.

Rear window exploded, shattered, no outside force. Passenger side of 3 section window. Truck was remote started, idling when i entered it, did not drive, was reading mail in a remote parking lotwhen window exploded sending micro shards up to 12" on inside and outside of window.more pictures if needed.
It snowed some last night, this morning i started my truck and attempted to turn on the rear window defroster, but the light would not turn on.(i have the 3 panel window with a sliding rear window in the center)after some investigation online, i cannot convince myself to try and use the defroster again because of the risk of the window exploding.now not being able to use the defroster is also causing a visibility issue when the window fogs up.it makes it very difficult to switch lanes and merge.it requires a lot of trust in the side mirrors which do not provide enough visibility to make the safest decisions when merging in traffic.my truck was stationary when i was trying to get the rear defroster/defogger to turn on, and i attempted several times, including shutting the engine off and starting it again.ford should know of this problem with all the complaints on forums and several dealers know of this issue as well.ford will not cover parts for this because they say its a part of the glass, which is not covered in warranty.i am writing this in hope to get nhtsa to review these windows before mine may implode and cause glass to shatter all over the back seat which may have people in it when it could occur.
Rear window shattered with no impact what so ever
I had a heavy frost in my area, so while driving to work, i turned on the rear view window defrost and after about 5 minutes i heard what sounded like a gunshot.i was on an interstate so i wasn't sure what had happened. After looking around, i realized my rear window had shattered. I inspected the window, thinking that maybe it was hit but the glass was intact and there was no marks or appearance of damage from outside. I went online and searched for this and found it to be a common issue. I spoke to my ford dealership service manager and he stated that they had three break the same day in the same manner.this is dangerous.my kids car seats are right by this window. If they were in them, they would have had small glass specks all over them.i believe this is negligence on the part of ford. I had two glass companies both tell me that this is a problem. They would have easily taken my money but they knew it wasn't right.if not a recall, ford should put out a technical service bulletin on this and replace them as they break.
Rear window on driver side shattered after remote warm up of truck on cold day.vehicle was in motion for 10 feet. I heard a loud pop and thought something landed on the roof. I then looked in the rear view mirror and saw where the glass had shattered.very well know issue with f-150's: http://abc13.com/automotive/driver-says-her-f-150-window-spontaneously-shattered/2768932/https://www.f150forum.com/f38/exploding-rear-window-145329/

The rear window defroster stopped working (winter). In researching the probable cause of the rear defroster issue we found over the past several years there have been countless stories & posts from around the country detailing specifically the issue we were experiencing with the defroster and realizing this was a know issue with this vehicle.there were countless stories, many harrowing accounts of broken rear windows due to the nature of the engineering to repair as well as way too many stories with customers having to deal with local and national ford representatives to try to address the obvious engineering issue.while i may agree this may be a personal observation, there are way too many occurrences of this problem occurring across multiple model years for ford leadership to not be concerned with this issue and doing something to facilitate the corrective actions to address the defect.
One of the vehicle's rear windows (the 1 rear window closest to the drivers side; there are 3 rear windows in total) was shattered with no apparent impact point. It was a cold morning and the vehicle was started with the remote start option from the key fob. The vehicle was stationary, parked in the driveway, and had not been moved prior to noticing the shattered window.as the vehicle door was opened, i could hear a "crackling" which resembled the sound of static. I was able to see the shattered window, and it it sounded as though the window shatter was spreading. There were no holes or dents in the window, and there was no "circle" of shattered glass that would resemble an impact point. The last time the vehicle has been driven, the day prior, the window was not shattered.

Put on rear defrost while driving in 28 degree tempon city street 25mph and seconds later heard what sounded like a gunshot only to find the back window shattered.dealer said they here of this on occasion because the defrost heats up so quickly and hot that it can shatter a cold window.this could be very dangerous to human life
When first accelerating early in the morning the truck accelerates suddenly when 1st taking off. This really became a problem when someone stepped in front of me, the truck took off and then i had to stop suddenly. I have reported to ford and taken it in twice, but they insist no one has had this problem. The motor's rpm fluctuates about 200-300, then settles down.the visibility has been a problem since day one. Ford replaced the wiper blades, but the problem is still there. I have back to the dealer 3 times and all they say is "we can duplicate the problem".
I was traveling at 65mph cruise control on. Not a rough road and no other traffic. Turned on rear defrost to clear snow on rear glass that was blowing up from the bed. The drivers side rear glass panel shattered. There was no vehicle flex or impact to the window.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
The rear window shattered and no idea how that happened. It happened when it was parked in my driveway. *dt
Rear window shatters by itself, remains in place.in motion on neighborhood, 20 mph, driving straight, 35 deg f outside; defroster off.nothing impacted window.
While driving to work, i tried to turn on the rear defogger. It was 27 degrees f and the rear window was slightly covered with frost making it difficult to see out the back. After approximately 30 seconds, i heard a very loud bang. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that my rearview window on the passenger side had shattered. I was going about 55 mph at the time and no other cars were around me. This is the second window in this truck. Ford previously replaced the window under warranty due to the rear defogger not working. Not long after, the defogger stopped working again. I remember seeing many online posts about the defective rear window defoggers, but i assumed ford fixed the issue when they installed the replacement. Now that the window is shattered, it is evident that ford hasn't fixed anything and by the number of online complaints, they don't seem to care either. I don't understand how a recall hasn't been established yet with the safety concerns of broken glass near the passengers in the rear seats.
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.
Using the factory remote, i started the 2013 ford f150 for first time of the day 12/18/14 and entered vehicle 5 minutes later. Put key in column ignition. Did not touch any controls. With the transmission still in park, a very loud noise occurred. One section of the rear window / backlite had shattered top to bottom, edge to edge. The outdoor temperature was 24f, the heat setting was 67f. Vehicle was backed into driveway withgarage behind. Nothing could have hit the window from the outside and the vehicle hadn't moved, yet the glass practically exploded. There are dozens of very similar experiences shared on several internet forums involving years 2010 forward of the same model truck -- same generation. Ford has not created a tsb and there isn't a recall, and ford has made no indication that they will do anything about it. They referred me back to a dealer to document the damage.local ford dealer told me afterward that the rear window defrost turns on automatically with the remote start feature. Now driver visibility is obscured and i'm concerned about the safety of the electrical heating element. Reportedly fires have occurred with this situation. I won't be using the rear defrost under any circumstances -- even in northern illinois, in the winter. It seems most owners have been denied warranty claims because ford stated the damage was to glass, which isn't covered under the warranty. The glass isn't the problem, its the evidence.ford said it is up to the dealer to determine if the damage is due to a manufacturer's defect to get replacement under warranty. The dealer service manager told me they submit a warranty claim with photos to ford which will either approve or deny the claim. The dealer quoted $800.00 installed to replace the entire backlite assembly. The two different stories are troubling. I'm already preparing myself for the run-around.

Outside temp. Per vehicle display was -9 current miles on vehicle at the time of the incident was 59,278. Road conditions were icy due to time of year and resent winter storm. Loss of control of vehicle and potential fatal impact could have occurred as the sound was intense and did cause me to jerk the wheel. Contacted dealer due to model year they stated the issue was not covered at the dealer level and i would have to escalate to ford customer service. Ford customer service stated that there is no open claims/warranty for this issue at this time so keep my receipt so if there is in the future i can be reimbursed.

I hit the button for the rear defrost, but it didnt light up.i had stopped at a gas station to get a drink and i was sitting in a parking stall with the truck running when i noticed smoke and smelled something hot.shortly there after, about 5 seconds,i heard a loud bang, which sounded like a gunshot.i turned around and noticed that the rear window on the passenger side of this truck was shattered.i believe the problem to be created by the rear window defroster, that when the defroster isnt fully grounded, it causes the window to get too hot causing it to explode.but there is no way to know if the defroster is on or off because the light on the defroster was not on prior to me smelling the smoke and hearing the loud bang.

Back window shattered, power sliding back window (drivers side, 3 part back window).used rear defrost for a few minutes and it blew up at a stoplight, sounded like a gunshot.
The rear window shattered! after haven driven for an hour and a half in -04 degree f temperatures, with the mirror defroster on, when i arrived at my destination i got out and closed the door and i heard a loud pop and the tinkling sound that shattered glass makes as it falls to the ground. It seems to me that the rear window and in combination with the mirror defrost system is a crude "open loop" heating system that works on a timer instead of a temperature feedback loop to control the temperature of the glass. The rear window defroster is also tied to the driver's side and passenger's side mirror defrosters, so when you turn the mirror defroster on the rear window defroster is also on.i have a cap on the truck so the rear window doesn't see as much cold air as the mirrors do, but all three stay on the same amount of time. There is a timer circuit that turns the defroster off after 10 minutes and the mirrors immediately frost back up once it turns off, so i hit the button and they come back on again. You have to do this every 10 minutes while you are driving in freezing temperatures or the mirrors are unusable. I don't need the rear window defroster, but i need the mirror defroster. So my theory is that because of the "cheap" design of the window defroster system, the rear window over heated to the point that the pressure developed inside the cab when closing the door shattered the overheated glass. The very same problem happened again on 12-10-2014.
Rear window shattered without any impact.
January 29, 2019 i was sitting at a traffic light after leaving office and heard a big pop noise, scared me to death. It was dark and cold and could not tell where it came from, it wasn't till i left for work the next morning in the sunshine i saw my back window was shattered (hard to tell with the head rest at night). When i got to office i looked on outside of window for damage but could hardly tell it was shattered and there was no visible damage to outside of glass or body of my f-150. I have a power rear middle window and it was fine, it was the passenger side window. Also my rear defrost was not on. This seems to happen to a lot of f-150 trucks. I got a quote and it was $800.00 doesn't seem fair that this is happening quite a bit to all the different model years and nothing has been recalled.

The vehicle heater kicks out of recirculation mode after 5 or 10 minutes. This often brings outside auto fumes into the vehicle. In order to stop the fumes and use recirc again you have to push that button, taking your eyes off the road. The dealer says to use 'max air' but that results in hot air blowing in your face. Both situations require distracted driving, a safety risk. I would like for the recirc mode to remain as long as i want.

During the start up of my 2013 ford f-150 king ranch, i proceeded to utilize the rear defroster to get the ice off the rear window. The rear window is comprised of 3 panels of glass, one on each side and the sliding window in the center. The panel behind the drivers side then proceeded to crack and spider across the entire window. The initial sound led me to believe it was another issue as it was a loud bang, but i then looked in my rear view and noticed the cracked glass. It renders the entire window useless and a safety hazard as it distorts and skews my vision and ability to see out of it safely until i can attempt to have ford rectify this issue. After looking online, it appears as if this is a common issue, that really should not happen to begin with.

Back (rear window) stationary glass exploded while driving down the road!first, i had experienced intermittent problems with the rear defrost not functioning the last couple months. Then, the defrost just started working again without issue a month ago? last night the temperature was about 20f. I turned the rear defrost on and within 5 minutes of driving i heard gunshot/large bang and noticed my driver?s side stationary pane on the rear slider was shattered. I have small kids and thankfully they were not in the truck at the time. Small shards of glass ended up in the truck. I called dealer and have to bring in for them to take ?pictures? to send to ford.this is a danger and seems well documented on the internet for 2010 models up.
2013 ford f-150 lariat super crew: april 17, 2015: driving south on rt 95 to boston, my wife (driver) turned on the rear window defroster to clear fog from windows and side mirrors. There was a sudden loud "gun shot" type of noise that startled us both. We looked at windshield to seeif we had been hit and for cracks; there was nothing. Once stopped and looking over the truck we discovered that the rear window/back lite on driver's side had shattered. I ran my hand over the entire window searching for an impact point, or mark and there was absolutely nothing. We both wondered aloud as to how this window just shattered on its own. Once home, i went on the internet to look up possible causes and discovered that there are many, many cases of the exact same thing happening to ford pickups. I called ford customers service today and spoke at length with "angela" who seemed to understand the safety issue of windows shattering while driving but after putting me on hold to check with someone, said that there is nothing ford can do until a recall is issued, if ever. I told her that there is nearly 60 complaints on this issue on the nhtsa site, along with scores of others in ford forums, etc. This number apparently is not enough of a safety issue for ford to respond, but common sense dictates that its only a matter of time until something very serious occurs from ford f-150 windows shattering while driving in traffic. This is a serious issue!
Driving home from the airport on i205 and i hear this loud pop actually thought something might have hit the car.this morning i noticed the left panel of the rear window is shattered without any visible evidence of anything hitting the window.
We have a 2013 ford f150. Our back passenger sliding glass window suddenly shattered one day. No crash, accident, nothing hit the vehicle or the glass. Our truck was parked when it happened. Few days prior to this i noticed the rear defrost was not working properly. After this incident i started researching on-line to see if there were any recalls we were not aware of. I came across a website that had multiple complaints of the same exact problem! same window and same instances almost to a tee. Luckily we were not driving the vehicle at the time nor was my daughter in the vehicle. When i called the dealership to have it looked at they told me they have seen a few of these. When i called an auto glass store the employee told me he has seen 15 windows exactly like ours this year and recently was told the back glass for these vehicles were on back order. So that was evidence to me that this is a common problem. Originally ford was denying that the shattered window was defect. After multiple phone calls and complaints to ford motor company our vehicle is now fixed under our warranty. According to the dealership and the auto glass company that have seen multiple vehicles like ours, not all of them were covered under the warranty. This should be investigated and ford needs to fix the problem before the glass shatters with someone in the backseat especially if its a child sitting back there!!!
Rear glass has shattered on driver side panel out of three panels.this problem occurs w/ rear glass that has defrost & slider.i have spent some time researching this issue & fomoco refuses to see that this issue does or could exist.due to the fast temperature increase from cold climate customers using power defrost the driver side rear glass panel can or may shatter.i encountered this issue yesterday when i called service i was promptly told that this issue is a non-issue and it must had been vandalism.although being a profession ase accredited technician knew better after a little research, also the parts department having a current rotating stock of these windows on the shelf spelled out that a issue is know of.i checked all recall & technical service bulletins pertaining to a issue like this with little to no information.in my internet research it has became very clear there is an issue with this seeing how people have posted youtube videos showing how to replace the glass & general forum chatter. No one got hurt this time but when "safety" glass shatters is creates hundreds/thousands of tiny sharp debris.if my daughter would have been in the vehicle when this occurred & was told this isn't a "issue" i probably would have told the service writer to come rub his arms across the back seat of my vehicle and tell me "no issue exists".

I went out to my truck and started it up. I noticed their were tiny shiny specks on the center console. I looked up and my sunroof was totally shattered. When i parked the day before everything was fine. There were no trees that something could have fallen from that might have caused this. No other vehicles parked nearby were damaged and vandals usually go for side windows. It was not unusually cold. A short search on the internet shows that this problem is not as isolated as the ford dealer that the body shop i'm using called. There are others with ford products that this has happened to.some were driving when their sunroofs exploded others came outfind their sunroofs in the same condition as mine.
While driving to work on this morning at about 60mph i heard a loud "boom" sound and moments later pulled back the sunroof cover to discover my sunroof had shattered.the glass panel had a hole in the center and all remaining glass was cracked.fortunately, the visor was closed or i would have been showered with glass shards.the remaining glass was protruding upward as if it exploded outwardly.there were no vehicles near me to throw a rock nor was i driving under an overpass or bridge.i took the truck to ford of west memphis and described what happened.the service man said he would submit the repair to ford for approval to repair under warranty since there was no impact that caused the breakage.ford customer service denied my warranty claim so i had to get it repaired under my insurance and pay the difference.$1009.68 and four days later i have my truck back.i inspected the removed glass with the dealer personnel and it is clear that there is a crack at the front center edge of the glass from which all other cracks propagated out from in a fan pattern.there is no sign of impact in this area and its even protected with the rubber seal such that it would be very unlikely that anything could impact the glass there.i am going to write a letter to ford to demand they pay for this repair.
We were driving down the e-470 and hear what sounded like an explosion and realized our sunroof spontaneously exploded from the inside out. Ford is saying they are not responsible for this. This is dangerous and has happened to alot of people. Someone needs to check on this please.

I bought a 2013 f-150 with 7 miles on in 8/2013.at 22,000 mile the inside of the front passenger tire was bald. Both rear tires was bald in the center.ford service adviser and the service manager told me that the f150 trucks where "eating the tires off".the dealer ship got me a credit towards new tires but although these where factory installed they said 50% was the best they could knock off the price.my alignment was off on the front by .01 degrees and they said they had verified tire rotation had occurred that it was a malfunction in the tire caused by the truck.
Purchased truck in march 2014 & since have had over 10 flat tires.took truck to dealership & was told tires are cracking due to being driven on a gravel road.was not aware that the vehicle we purchased was not suitable to be driven on the gravel roads we live on.tires are a safety hazard for anyone that drives on gravel roads.
While driving, the steering seized up making the vehicle nearly impossible to control. Multiple warning lights: "service advanced track, power steering, hill descent assist". Dealer reports that epas system has gone bad/failed. I've read numerous reports on the steering/electric issue. This is a major safety concern and needs to be recalled. This truck is in immaculate shape and has 67,000 miles on it. Steering should not be failing. Please get a recall going on this before someone diesi also had a wheel stud/bolt sheer off two weeks back.
There was a clunking noise and then grinding noises, particularly loud when applying the brakes.i stopped at the nearest tire/brake center (tires plus, 2975 university pkwy, sarasota fl). They found that the front right brake caliper bolts were completely missing and the inside of wheel was grooved where it had been rubbing against the bolt before it broke off.they advised taking it to ford, which i did.ford kept the car and fixed the caliper and replaced the wheel with a new wheel, but did not have any explanation for how bolts could work loose.

Bad steering vibration when braking at highway speeds. Took vehicle to dealer and they indicated warped rotors that had to be machined back to proper surface - already!. Vehicle is only a few months old, only approx. 15k miles. Have noticed online that others have had the same issue. This seems like a safety concern with ford using sub-standard brake rotor materials. Additionally, the vehicle would drift to the left - dealer indicated alignment issue, but required $450 additional kit in order to allow for adjustment since it was already at peak of specs (vehicle has never had alignment since it was new, vehicle has never had an incident that would cause misalignment). Vehicle seems unsafe with these issues and now that the rotors are 'thinner' due to the resurfacing, the warping will likely occur more frequently until they (and other brake parts and/or suspension and steering parts) need to be replaced. This can lead to premature brake, component, suspension and steering systems wear and/or failure which should be a major safety concern. Ford would not warranty the alignment issue and extra cost nor replacement rotors but only resurface ('turn') the original rotors.

Driving down interstate and truck suddenly shifted to 3rd gear locking up my tires. Thank god i didn't lose control and drove off the road to a stop. Turned off truck and back on. Drove ok for a bit. Will keep dropping gears or randomly shifting up and down. From a start it could sometime try to go into 5th. At times all the dash indicators flash and go to dashes.
I purchased my 2013 ford f150 three weeks ago, certified pre-owned from mountain view ford in chattanooga, tn. While pulling out of my driveway this morning, the truck was engaged in 4x4h mode,(due to inclement weather)it started making a terrible popping noise that sounded like the front left tire was coming off as i was turning to the right. I pulled over and let the car idle for a while. I then kept driving and when going up a steep hill it started doing it again, so i pulled over at a gas station and the loud popping/banging noise happened again as i was turning left this time. It was so loud it startled the customers who were fueling their vehicles. Sounded like a piece of metal snapping in two. Is this related to nhtsa # 10058199? or ford tsb 44964? i had to disengage the 4x4h and put my truck back in 4x2h a to make the noise stop. We had icy roads this morning, which is the reason i purchased a 4x4 to begin with.
I was driving down the road( speed limit of 40 mph) and my spare tire broke free from under the bed of the truck!!
Vehicle was stationary during routine maintenance: oil/filter change, multi point inspection, tire rotation. Lug nuts were swollen and cracked creating potential safety problem. Swelling due to bimetallic separation of the lug nuts. Lug nuts were replaced at a cost of about $200.
On 4/2/19 while driving at approx. 50 mph, all at once, the speedometer dropped to 0, air bag light came on, and the truck started running an idling rough. When we got to our destination we were planning on calling on someone to pick us up. We started the truck to move it out of the way, and it was back to normal. We drove home no problems. I drove the truck to work the very next day, 10 minutes away, ran errands, about 30 minutes driving, and went back to work. Still no problems. As i was getting ready to leave work, i hadn't been driving but a few minutes, then the truck all of sudden downshifted to first gear. I almost lost control. I was up to about 45 mph at this point. The back end of the truck kept sliding until it finally slowed down. Luckily i live in a small town with not a lot of traffic. I am not going to attempt to drive it again until out local dealership checks it out. I called the dealership and they have advised us to bring it there on monday april 8th, and leave it with them.
I take my ford f-150 to one dealership for maintenance and now they say the lug nuts need replaced. If were on the road and had a flat i could not remove the tire due to the damaged nuts. I understand this is a known defective item that ford continues to install on all vehicles.
Mywife was driving to work and one tired went down so she was middle of the road.with low tire. The tired started peeling on the side. Now we have three tires all peeling on sides and showing metal.we call michlin and they would do nothing with tires. Still under warranty with 12000 miles, 15000 miles and they would do nothing about it. Dot should make recall michlin tires p265/60r 18 ltx a/s dot apc4. These tire should be recall before someone get hurt.
Had to have all 24 lug nuts replaced at 62,000 miles. I had to replace 12 lug nuts before this starting in 2014.. Very difficult to remove. They get destroyed removing but get stripped and are impossible to remove with supplied wrench. I work in the woods and can't get road service. These lug nuts are a poor design.
While driving the power to my speedometer would go out. Also the truck would increase in rpm's. The last time it happened the wheels locked up on me. In most cases the problem would be fixed once i turned the car off and re started it.
Date 11/9/2018vehicle: ford f150 2013driver: experiencedmiles: 148,653date of incident: 11/1/2018location: south bound on i-275 in southeast, miroad condition: drydriver was on the highway going 73 mph in the left lane passing a semi when the vehicle shifted from 6th gear instantly into 1st gear. Causing the vehicles rear end to lock up and throw the vehicle sideways. Driver was facing the side of the tractor trailer head on now while the rear end was bouncing off of the rumple strips. The motor was well over 6800 rpms causing the tac to bounce between 6500 and 7000rpm. Not only did this put a lot of stress on the motor and turbo, this also shocked all of the driveline components. A shift like this is commonly referred to as a "money shift" because it destroys an entire driveline as well as the motor. Luckily the vehicles driveline was still intact after this harsh downshift and the driver was able to throw the truck into manual mod shift the truck back up to 5th gear and counter steer 2-3 times to correct from the tail end kicking out. The driver believes that an average driver would have died in this same situation. The driver feels lucky to be alive after experiencing this. After the driver pulled the truck into the nearest ford dealer and explained what happened they told the driver that they have not heard of this problem before and that they wouldn't be able to look at the vehicle for at least a week. The drive then called ford to report the issue and on three separate calls on 11/1/2018 ford told the driver that they will not cover the problem, because it's not a re-call. The driver would greatly appreciate it if the nhtsa can open an investigating into the 2013+ models of the f150's transmission suddenly shifting from 6th to 1st gear. This is a very deadly malfunction especially with icy roads just around the corner in mi.
Since approximately 5700 miles, when i take long trips in the vehicle (30+ miles), the tpms light will come on with a message saying ?tire pressure sensor fault.? if i continue driving the light will eventually turn off and occasionally come back on in the trip. The light has always come on at freeway speeds. The truck has been brought into the service department multiple times without any guaranteed fix. The service department did replace a faulty, non-responsive tpms sensor, but the problem continues. The issues usually occurs at night, but has happened in the daytime.
