TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR DOWNSHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC FORD IN SHELBY, NC WHERE THE RECALL PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF. LATELY I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRUCK WHERE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. HAVE TO STOP, TURN OFF IGNITION AND TRUCK WORKS FINE. TODAY WHILE DRIVING ,SPEEDOMETER STARTS GOING CRAZY AND TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH. I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS ON INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH. CALLED CLASSIC FORD TO SCHEDULE SERVICE, CANNOT SEE ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK. WHEN I DESCRIBED WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ON INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY, LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON, AND WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFICACY. FORTUNATELY, THE HIGHWAY EXIT WAS SLIGHTLY UPHILL AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS GREEN WITH VEHICLES STARTING TO MOVE AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST THROUGH THE RIGHT TURN AT THE GREEN LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED ON THE ELGIN-O'HARE TOLLWAY (I-390) IN HANOVER PARK, ILLINOIS WHERE THE ELGIN-O'HARE (I-390) WESTBOUND MEETS LAKE STREET. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON WAS TRAVELLING WITH ME, AND WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD THE SITUATION WORK OUT IN OUR FAVOR. HAD WE BEEN TRAVELLING HOME INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM HOME, THE EXIT RAMP WE WOULD HAVE USED WAS DOWNHILL AND TYPICALLY ENDS AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES WHEN IN REVERSE OR FORWARD AT IDLE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND TAKE EXTREME PRESSURE TO OPERATE IF THEY OPERATE. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF BRAKING AND BEING UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE I AM AT IDLE. PARKING LOTS, PARKING SPACES, OR ROAD AT STOP SIGNS. THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT WANT TO DEPRESS REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I APPLY. IT IS MAINLY INTERMITTENT BUT WILL HAPPEN NEARLY EACH TIME IF YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIME IN SHORT SUCCESSION.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RE: 19N01 TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEADFRAME. THE RECALLS THAT FORD DID PROVIDE FOR MY VEHICLE ONLY INCLUDED SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT DID NOT PREVENT THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS FAILED MY TRUCK WENT FROM TRAVELLING 45 MPH IN 6TH GEAR TO SUDDENLY SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR. I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO AVOID HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY FOR BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. THIS IS UNACCCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE UPDATES PROVIDED DID NOT PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

HAD RECALL DONE LAST YEAR FOR SPEED SENSOR AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFTING. STARTING JUNE 16TH 2020 THE VEHICLE STARTED HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. IT JERKS THE TRUCKS IT UP SHIFTS. SEEMS LIKE THERE WOULD BE SOME WARRANTY ON PARTS FROM A RECALL. I?M AT ABOUT 154000 MILES, SO WE WERE TOLD WE JUST MISSED THE WARRANTY. BEING THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF WARRANTY AT LEAST FOR THAT PART. *BF *TR
