ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WITH A HARD ACCELERATION THE TRUCK BLOGGED DOWN & THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF SO I PULLED IT DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR & IT TOOK OFF AGAIN. STILL SPUTTERS LIKE THERE IS WATER IN THE GAS OR SOMETHING. LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. PRETTY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT ACTUALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER WHAT SO EVER. PRETTY SCARY. I READ THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATION. WHY HAS FORD TAKEN CARE OF THIS AS A RECALL?

POWER TRAIN
5 PLUS INSTANCES OF NOTICEABLE GEAR SHIFT SHUDDERING DURING BOTH UP AND DOWNSHIFTING AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE AT CRUISING SPEEDS ABOVE 25+ MPH. A FEW OTHER INSTANCES THE SPEEDOMETER WAS OBSERVED MOVING RAPIDLY AND ERRATICALLY WHILE ON A HIGHWAY SPEEDS ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. MORE RECENTLY THE TRANSMISSION PERFORMED A SIGNIFICANT HARD DOWN SHIFT I NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE AND WAS NOT EXPECTING. ALL ISSUES WERE OBSERVED BEGINNING JANUARY 2018. TRUCK BROUGHT TO DEALER 4/10/2018, COURTESY FORD BREAUX BRIDGE, LA.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR RANDOMLY. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STAYED IN 1ST GEAR. ALL OF THE GAUGES DIED AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER.. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND IT RAN NORMAL. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 5TH AND ALL THE GAUGES DIED. LATER THAT DAY, IT WENT INTO 3RD GEAR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY 900$ TO FIX SOMETHING TBAT IS ALREADY RECALLED FOR 2012 BUT NOT MY 2013. SAME TRANSMISSIONS AND SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH MY 2013 FORD F-150 DOWNSHIFTED FROM SIXTH GEAR TO FORTH CAUSING THE TRUCK TO QUICKLY DECELERAT DOWN TO 47 MPH. THANK GOD THE SEATBELT WORKED AND THAT NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME. TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND LEFT IT FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. FORD CALLED AND SAID IT WAS MY TIMING CHAIN AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,200 + TAX. DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I'VE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A MULTIPLE TSB'S ON THE PROBLEM YET MY FORD DEALER WHERE I GET MY MAINTAINED NEVER MENTIONED IT. SO MY WARRANTY RAN OUT AND I AM ON THE HOOK TO THE $3,200+ TAX WHEN THEY KNEW THAT AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM EXISTED.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WITHOUT WARNING MY REAR WHEELS & DRIVETRAIN LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AND I HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER AT AROUND 35 MPH TO AVOID BEING IN TRAFFIC. AS THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURING, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 MPH AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE IN THE CLUSTER SHOWED ALL DASHES. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR AT LOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. I CYCLED THE IGNITION, AND TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH AS VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND TRANSMISSION CAN SHIFT TO 1ST GEAR AT HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R80 FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME TYPE OF 6R80 MOLDED LEAD FRAME DEFECT PROBLEM REPORTED IN PREVIOUS F150 MODEL YEARS. UPON CONTACTING DEALERSHIP THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE BEFORE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH P0722 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. A SIMPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON A $100 PART SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS REACTION. SEE FORD TSB 13-4-9 AND 13-2-3 AND RECALL #16V248000 THAT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL 2013 F-150'S TOO.
