ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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).*TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 CYLINDER ENGINE. HAS BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS WITH 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.
