2013 FORD F150 RAPTOR. BEEN READING ABOUT SEVERAL 2011 TO 2016 ABOUT THE REAR BACK GLASS DEFROST NOT WORKING DUE TO BACD CONTACTS ON THE WINDOW OR EVEN SHADERS FOR NO REASON. I THINK FORD SHOULD REPLACE THIS IF IT FAILS. WITH THE BACK DEFROST NOT WORKING ALSO MAKES THE SIDE HEATED MIRRORS NOT WORK DUE TO THEN BEING ON THE SAME CIRCUIT.

AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH SUDDEN DOWN SHIFTING OF MY TRANSMISSION, I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW PROGRAMMING FIX WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE ACTIVE RECALL. THE "FIX" WAS COMPLETED, AND NOW ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO DOWNSHIFT SUDDENLY. NOT ONLY SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING, BUT DURING ACCELERATION THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STRUGGLE SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS ABOUT 57K MILES.

POWER TRAIN
WAS DRIVING 2013 FORD F150 FX4 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN TRUCK SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AND CAUSED TRUCK TO REV RPM'S AND RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY TO DECREASE SPEED DUE TO SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON A CITY STREET. AFTER THE SPEED DECREASE, UNABLE TO GET CAR INTO HIGHER GEAR AND DROVE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS TO EXIT ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON AND IT NOT HELP. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, CAR WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SEVERAL MORE TIMES DRIVING TO MECHANIC. ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE THE DAY BEFORE, BUT DID NOT REALIZE THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR. TOOK TRUCK TO MECHANIC AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS FOR $100 FEE AND WAS TOLD ME TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR A KNOWN ISSUE. AT THE DEALERSHIP, A "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED, BUT THE FIX CAUSED ANOTHER ISSUE AND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING STARTED, THE WHOLE DASH VIBRATES AND MAKE LOUD NOISES. DEALERSHIP STILL HAS TRUCK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ISSUE OF LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING ON AC. DID NOT HAVE ISSUE WITH VIBRATING UNTIL THE "FIX" WAS ISSUED. NOR DID THE MECHANIC NOTICE THE ISSUE WITH THE AC WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BEFORE TAKING TO DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2013 F150S ENGINE STARTED MISSING OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING, AND THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AS I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ALMOST SHUT OFF. MADE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE COIL PACKS, I HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THIS BAD WITH MY 2008 F 150 WHICH THEY ENDED UP DOING A RECALL ON FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS CHANGED AS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE IN THESE TRUCKS AND THE FIX ISN'T CHEAP OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO I WASN'T HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK TILL I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL THEY HAD ON THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE, WHICH WAS ONLY FIXED 3 WEEKS AGO.

I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND HAD TO BRAKE HARD (NOT ENOUGH TO SCREECH THE TIRES) DUE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE TRUCK SORT OF LAGGED, TOOK A SECOND TO BEGIN ACCELERATING. THINGS SEEMED OK FOR A MINUTE SO I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. SUDDENLY THE RPM NEEDLE BEGAN TO GO ALL OVER THE DIAL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I DECIDED TO HEAD BACK TO TOWN SINCE THE TRUCK FELT STRANGE. AS I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD (UNDER SPEED TO THE SIDE WITH MY FLASHERS ON), ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT I JUST WASNT GOING ANYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE STOP. ALSO I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING LIKE A BURNING SMELL SO I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, AND CALLED FOR A TOW.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE LOOSES ALL POWER YET IS STILL RUNNING VERY POORLY. ENGINE SPUTTERS AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE. DASHBOARD DISPLAY SHOWS A WRENCH. PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ENGINE WILL USUALLY RESTART AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AND RUN NORMALY UNTIL NEXT FAILURE. PROBLEM MAY OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. MY AUTO DIAGNOSTIC TOOL GIVES P2111 CODE WHICH INDICATES A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS OCCURED WHEN STOPPED OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON ( NOT CONSISTENT). I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO.

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY (FORD) MAY NOT HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW MY COMPLAINT AND WOULD GET BACK TO ME.
