UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT SHIFT . I CAN BE DRIVING NORMALLY AND STOP A LIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY OT 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 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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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: U0401:68-48 B00A0:68-08 U0401:00-08 P0722:00-68 U0401:86-08 U0401:00-08 U0401:68-08 B1083:07-08 U0423:00-28
