ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
recently purchased this vehicle only to discover that it has a stretched timing chain(noise). Research shows that this has been an ongoing issue with Ford. I'd like to know if Ford has a plan in place to issue a recall notice to fix?

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle automatically downshifted from drive to a lower gear -1st or 2nd- not sure which. This has happened 3 times in the past approx. 2 months. When this happens the RPM gauge goes to 3.5 to 4 and the speedometer stays on zero. The first two times this happened, I was able to stop the vehicle, put in park, turn the engine off, restart and proceed as if nothing happened. Yesterday, 2/22/2022 the same thing happened again and the vehicle stayed in the lower gear. I have taken the vehicle to a local shop which has Ford diagnostic software and they indicate that a module that sends signals to the transmission is faulty. We are waiting on a part from Ford in order to hopefully fix the problem. Is this a recall issue with Ford?

I was driving on a cold morning and turned on the rear defrost on back window. The window exploded and shattered. Nothing hit the window only the activation of the defrost control. The issue is that I thought someone shot at me. Could have caused an accident and I'm glad my kids weren't in the back. Several others have complained of this happening found here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://na2.documents.adobe.com/public/esign?tsid=CBFCIBAA3AAABLblqZhBi2sKT8kHKR2dVwWahetRcpYfMI2zeGQTS6VmNcTay5AowW5wyN0xFDVsdp574jhTK0rROeQf5ahG9zfQvvwrk&__;!!NoSwA-eRAg!XLiAEfNB2Zvs_6PIZ6Gemp0S1Z_diUhk-wnZ30T9JgbPZbkVUSkK7517boFEbR8F$

While driving my 2013 F150 my transmission shifted down to 3rd gear, my odometer went blank and the speedometer stopped working. The truck would only shift from 3rd gear to 5th gear. Research shows this to be a common problem with a "Lead Frame Harness". Leading to a very dangerous situation if traveling at a high rate of speed when the transmission downshifts on its own!

SERVICE BRAKES
I lose all brake pressure driving at certian times. my brakes 100% of the time make this horrible grinding noise and I lose braking power after going from drive to reverse. I always end up getting a check brake system warning message. There is a recall for the vacuum pump and for a seal that is bad but I'm not included since my vehicles manufacturer date is 2/13 and not 8/13. I feel like this is wrong and not fair

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, WHEELS
I was turning into gas station when I applied brakes to turn, power steering quit working and brakes, luckily there was no one exiting or i would have crashed into them. I was able to muscle steering wheel to make the turn. I then muscled steering wheel to a parking spot where brakes began to work. Dash board read check advance track there were no check engine lights or warning prior to turning. I then shut off vehicle then turned back on and it ran fine but drove with caution. This has happened 2 other times where power steering has feld but came back suddenly but this time on 2/11/22 I had no power steering at all for at least 60 to 70 feet. I have not had a mechanic or dealership look at because I don't know when it will happen its more of a hit and miss. The fact that there's no check engine light or warning lights on I believe any diagnostics would not show anything wrong.

STEERING
While driving the dash lit up power steering failure and the power steering went out causing temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The first incident was a week prior when there seemed to be a temporary loss of power steering. After inspection and tighening of connectors by a mechanic, the problem seemed to go away until to day when I had a total failure.

SERVICE BRAKES
Was stopped at a red light, when my brake pedal suddenly went to the floor and the truck started moving forward toward the car stopped in front of me. Drove around the car and pulled off to the side. Tested it and found the brakes slowly stopped the truck if I pumped them. Got the truck home and found no leaks in any of the brake lines, wheel cylinders or master cylinder. Checked on line and found many others with the same problem; many of whom were not covered in Certain 2013-2014 Model Year Ford F-150 trucks equipped with 3.5L Ecoboost Engines, Brake Master Cylinder Replacement recall #16S24, as mine was also not covered.

While driving the truck will shift gears and get stuck in gears, particularly first gear. When stuck RMP's rev high and cause the truck to lurch forward even when foot is on the brake. Speedometer goes to 0 even while driving. Truck can switch to manual gear, but will only allow to go to 3rd gear and no higher. Putting truck in park and shutting it off will sometimes reset and allow to get back on the road. Other times it will stay stuck in first gear. I believe this is an issue with the lead frame. Our safety was put at risk as we tried to take off from a stop light and the truck would not shift out first. The lurching almost made me hit the person in front of me and the person behind me almost hit me as the truck was lurching forward. Any higher speed would have surely caused an accident. Truck has been take to a Ford dealership service center. There is a CSP from Ford on the lead frame of the truck with our VIN number but because no code has been recorded, Ford will not fix the issue under the CSP. We have not had any warning lamps or messages before, during, or after the issue occurs. Ford needs to acknowledge that the problem with the lead frame does not always produce a an error code. They need to replace all the lead frames in the affected vehicles if it demonstrates these issues immediately to keep drivers safe. Error code should not be the only determining factor of fixing this issue as it is obvious that they don't occur in every case and driver are in serious danger.

Driving along and it would not go above 2rd gear. then the "wrench" light came on and truck went into limp mode. The truck wouldn't go over 20 mph. It created a dangerous situation on the road. I don't feel safe driving my family around in the truck.
