ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER/OUTSIDE DOOR MIRROR DEFROSTERS ARE INOPERATIVE. PROBLEM WAS FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AT 34,164 MILES ALTHOUGH ALSO FAILED AGAIN WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY. WHILE NOT POSITIVE, PROBLEM COULD STILL BE FAULTY ELECTRICAL CONTACT DESIGN ON REAR WINDOW SLIDING CENTER GLASS AS PREVIOUS FAILURE. MALFUNCTION CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE AS FROST BLOCKS REAR VISIBILITY BOTH FROM DOOR MIRRORS AS WELL AS REAR WINDOW. DEALER NOTES REAR WINDOW ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED BUT WITHOUT MANUFACTURER COST COVERAGE ASSISTANCE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
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.

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

POWER TRAIN
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

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.

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)

VISIBILITY/WIPER
EARLY THIS MORNING (JAN 9, 2019) MY HUSAND REMOTED STARTED HIS 2013 F150 TO HEAT IT UP BEFORE WE LEFT FOR WORK (IT WAS MIDE 30'S OUTSIDE). AFTER RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MIN WE GOT IN AND BEFORE EVEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WE HEARD A LOUD POP. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT OUR BACK WINDOW WITH A GUN. WE SAW THE BACK WINDOW DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE TINT FILM HELD IT ALL TOGETHER, BUT IT WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. WE GOT OUT TO SEE IF A BIRD FLEW INTO IT OR TO FIND ANY REASON AND NOTICED THERE WASN'T EVEN A PUNCTURE TO THE WINDOW FROM OUTSIDE. IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MY HUSBAND WILL SPEND TODAY FINDING SOMEONE TO REPAIR AND WE'VE NOW LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND MANY COMMENTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ALL AND URGE FORD TO ISSUE A RECALL?
