POWER TRAIN
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, WITH TRANSMISSION IN D. I ESTIMATE THAT DRIVING SPEEDS DURING THESE OCCURRENCES VARIED BETWEEN 10 AND 35 MPH. DURING A COUPLE OF OCCURRENCES, THE GEAR SELECTION INDICATOR COULD BE SEEN FLASHING QUICKLY BETWEEN SEVERAL OF THE LOWER GEARS. THE DATE ENTERED BELOW WAS THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR MONDAY, JAN 22, 2018.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES FREEZE AND FAIL TO SPRAY WHEN COLD OUT, EVEN WITH HIGH CONCENTRATION OF ALCOHOL IN WASHER SOLVENT. SUNSHINE IS SOMETIMES ENOUGH TO WARM THEM AND MAKE THEM WORK. I BELIVE THEY AREN'T SHROUDED ENOUGH AND WATER FROM OUTSIDE ENTERS THE NOZZLES.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PLASTIC GUIDE ON TRACK BROKE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON FOR 2010-2014 F150. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THANK YOU.

TRUCK WILL SHIFT GEARS AT ANY TIME. IT DROPPED TO FIRST GEAR UNEXPECTED WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE BACK TIRES LOCKED UP.JUST THANKFUL IT WASN'T 10 SECONDS BEFORE WHILE ON INTERSTATE NOW I DON'T DRIVE IT MUCH YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA SHIFT BY ITSELF. IT THROWS A CODE THAT SAYS IT THE SPEED OUTPUT SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING ON A 2012 MODEL BUILT IN DEARBORN AND KANSAS CITY BETWEEN AUGUST AND MARCH 2012. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN KANSAS CITY IN SEPTEMBER. MAYBE THAT RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES.

T-CONNECTOR FROM RADIATOR COOLANT RESERVOIR TO ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS IN COLD TEMPERATURES DRAINING COOLANT DISABLING THE VEHICLE. FORD SAID ITS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATION ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. MECHANIC VERIFIED CRACKED T- CONNECTOR. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CRACKED T-CONNECTORS AND A NATIONAL BACKORDER, I FEEL THERE IS A MATERIAL DEFICIENCY IN THE T-CONNECTOR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE VEHICLE. SO FAR ITS COST ME 219.99 AND 507.32 TO TRY AND FIX THIS. AND IT STILL LEAKS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
2013 FORD RAPTOR SUPER CREW 27953 MILES. OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS AGO. OIL LIFE STILL AT 69%. I WENT WITH THE RECOMMENDED FORD MOTOR COMPANY SYNTHETIC AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY OIL FILTER. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE. I WENT TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND I GOT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND HAD AN IMMEDIATE REDUCTION IN POWER THE TRUCK WAS STUCK AT 1,000 RPMS AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT SLOWLY CREEP FORWARD AT 5 MILES AN HOUR. I LIMPED TO A LIGHTED PARKING LOT ABOUT A HALF BLOCK AWAY AS MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH. I SHUT IT OFF AND POPPED OPEN THE HOOD. I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL POWER STEERING LEVEL AND EVERYTHING WAS WELL ABOVE TOLERANCES. I COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT, IT RAN FINE ALL THE WAY HOME. I JUST SCANNED THE SYSTEM AND NO ERROR CODES. THE STOP LIGHT ROAD WAS AT A SLIGHT DOWNWARD ANGLE AND I HAD JUST BELOW A HALF TANK OF 93 OCTANE FUEL. K AND N AIR FILTER IN STOCK HOLDER. NO OTHER POWER TRAIN OR ENGINE MODIFICATIONS. LOSS OF POWER, POWER STEERING AND DECREASED BRAKING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT NOT BEEN LATER AT NIGHT.

T-CONNECTOR (BASE PART #8566) FROM RADIATOR COOLANT RESERVOIR TO ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS IN COLD TEMPERATURES DRAINING COOLANT DISABLING THE VEHICLE. FORD INDICATES NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATION ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD I WAS #17 ON THE WAITING LIST AT REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SAME PIECE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF DEVICE FAILURES DUE TO RECENT COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE OHIO VALLEY. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR FOUR DAYS WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, I FOUND THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AND COOLANT DRAINING ALL DOWN THE SERPENTINE BELT AND PULLEYS. MECHANIC VERIFIED CRACKED T- CONNECTOR. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CRACKED T-CONNECTORS AND A NATIONAL BACKORDER, I FEEL THERE IS A MATERIAL DEFICIENCY IN THE T-CONNECTOR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT. I'VE BEEN TOLD MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF SERVICE FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. WITH A SNOW STORM LOOMING, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
