POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (AROUND 70 MPH) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN-SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR. THE REAR TIRES BRIEFLY LOCKED UP, BUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MANAGED. 2. WHILE DRIVING, BOTH IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 5TH. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT BELOW 3RD GEAR WHEN BROUGHT TO A STOP. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN WOULD RESET THE PROBLEM. THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0. THE ODOMETER AND OTHER DIGITAL READINGS IN THE CENTER CLUSTER ON THE DASH SHOWED ALL DASHES. AFTER SEVERAL OF THESE EVENTS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. 3. AFTER ONE OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN 2 ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSIS. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07 WAS PERFORMED IN MARCH 2019. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S19 WAS PERFORMED IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE FIRST EVENT, BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE I FELT THE TRUCK WAS NOT GETTING UP TO SPEED. I THEN NOTICED ON MY DASHBOARD A BIG WRENCH. I FELT MY TRUCK CONTINUE TO NOT GAIN SPEED EVEN THOUGH I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS.THE SCREEN THEN WENT BLACK AND AND WHEN THE DASHBOARD CAME BACK ON I HAD NOTHING SHOWING. NO MPH ,FUEL ECONOMY, ETC AND I WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR.I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED BUT ONLY DECREASE IF I STEPPED ON THE BREAK.I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING BUT IT WAS NOT FAST AT ALL SINCE EVERYONE WAS PASSING ME(MAYBE 40 MPH).I ALSO NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE AND RESTART MY TRUCK.ONCE I DID THAT EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND WORKED FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE. I WAS RECENTLY PART OF A FORD RECALL BUT HAD THAT FIXED.I HAD THE AUTOMATIC DOWNSHIFTING HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL WAS IN PLACE. I JUST GOT A LETTER LAST WEEK THAT THEY NEED TO REDO THE RECALL, I HAD THE DOWNSHIFTING HAPPEN TO ME AND THIS WAS NOT IT. THIS IS A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS MAKING ME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN TRUCK SINCE MOST OF MY TIME IS ON THE INTERSTATE. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STRUGGLING GEAR TO GEAR DOING ACCELERATION AND SPONTANEOUSLY DOWNSHIFTING PERIODICALLY ON ITS OWN. I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN TWO RECALLS DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFTING BUT NO CHANGE TO THE ISSUE I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THE LAST RECALL WAS 7/12/2019. IT SEEMS LIKE TO USE RECALLS ARE NOT FIXING THE ISSUE WHAT CAN I DO? I WILL KINDLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF FEEDBACK TO STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR I AM LOCKED INTO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES WITH THIS VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AROUND ME?

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M CALLING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ERRATIC UNLOCKING OF DRIVER DOOR. DOOR WHEN OPERATED BY REMOTE TO UNLOCK, MOST TIMES NEEDS 2 ACTUATIONS, OF HANDLE TO ACTUALLY OPEN BY USER. MY WIFE AFTER SHOPPING FELT A PRESENCE AND TRIED TO ENTER OUR VEHICLE AND WAS BADLY FRIGHTENED WHEN SHE COULD NOT ENTER IMMEDIATELY SHE PULLED ON HANDLE WITHOUT OPENING DOOR AND THOUGHT SHE HAD NOT ACTUATED THE REMOTE CORRECTLY SHE PREFORMED THE ACTION TO UNLOCK AND HAD TO PULL DOOR HANDLE 2 TIMES TO ENTER AND LOCK IT TO FEEL SAFE. HE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS FITS THE STANDARD FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. IT SEEMED LIKE IT AT THE TIME. DEALER WANTS A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE TO REMEDY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS UNFAIR VEHICLE HAS 82,000 MILES

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRAVELING 50 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. HAD POWER TO VEHICLE BUT NO STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY SUCCESSFULLY. THE TRUCK WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK, AFTER SITTING 90 MINUTES, IT CRANKED. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY SAID IT WAS THE #27 FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. PUT A KIT IN TO MOVE THE #27 FUSE TO AN ISOLATED LOCATION SO IT WOULDN'T GET HOT AND MALFUNCTION. THE COST WAS $250. I ASKED IT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I SAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE RESPONSE WAS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE. I WAS LUCKY AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE NEXT PERSON MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED.

STEERING
TROUBLE WITH STEERING. GETTING FEEDBACK IN THE STEERING WHEEL (NOISE AND VIBRATION). AT TIMES STEERING IS DIFFICULT AND NOT RETURNING TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. IN MOTION, ANY ROAD CONDITION, TURNING AND NOT TURNING ANY SPEED. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE THE STEERING GEARBOX.

STEERING
STEERING FIRST STARTED MAKING GROANING NOISES ON TIGHT TURNS, WITHIN A FEW DAYS, GOT SO BAD I COULD BARELY STEER IT. MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS IS THAT STEERING RACK/ELECTRIS STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT THIS KIND OF PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS COMMON. THIS SUGGESTS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS-- DANGER OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, TO INCLUDE WHEN TOWING HEAVY LOADS, AS I WAS DOING WHEN IT WAS GOING BAD. IF A DESIGN FLAW, WHY IS THIS NOT ALREADY A SAFETY RECALL?
