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.

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.

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.

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.

REAR DRIVER SIDE BACK GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS AT TEMP. WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED, WITH REAR DEFROSTER RUNNING. WAS TRAVELING TO WORK AT 60 MPH WHEN LOUD BLAST OCCURRED IN VEHICLE. I LOOK AROUND TO SEE IF I HAD HIT SOMETHING WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I NOTED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED AND THE THE REAR DEFROST THAT WAS ON WAS NOW OFF. 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.

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.

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!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
