F150 lug nuts have a cap that is prone to "swelling" after many tire rotations, especially if mechanic uses a pneumatic wrench with poor sockets. "Swollen lug nuts" make them extremely difficult to remove to change tires. Fortunately, I caught this in time on my truck and with much difficulty, replaced them with better lug nuts. If I had a flat tire with swollen lug nuts, I would probably would now have the right tools to remove the tire causing a possible safety hazard on the road.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Hello, on my 2013 ford f150, why driving the vehicle will at random shift from 5th gear to 1st gear, creating a massive loss of power and forcing me to loose speed rapidly. This puts my self, my family and those around me in danger. I have reached online that there is a current recall for 2014 models that do this, but not 2013 models. This seems outrageous to me. This is just as much of a safety concern. Why discriminate between the two years.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
The computer/s that control every piece of equipment does not function as designed! The cruise control adjusted the speed (upward) without touching the controls. The lane keeping function will drag the truck into a turnout lane, left or right especially on a two lane highway with turn out lanes. The windshield wiper control has to be constantly manipulated to keep the windshield clean during snow and or rain storms. The instrument panel constantly changes which distracts the driver as so does the computer screen. The pre collision equipment works only sometimes. All the computers installed affect the function of other computers which causes driver distraction, like txt and driving.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The transmission on this vehicle regularly hesitates, lurches and shifts gears unexpectedly. I have had multiple incidents of not being able to accelerate without a delay while in traffic and once the transmission downshifted incorrectly on the freeway which nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle. The unexpected lack of acceleration while in live traffic and the erratic gear shifting on the highway is a safety hazard for me and for other drivers on the road.

When driving the transmission skips which causes passengers to hit their heads on the back head rest thrusting our bodies toward the windshield. It is not safe to drive. Had it worked on just after we purchased it. Gears from 2 to 3 and sometimes at higher rates of speed the vehicle jerks and eventually will probably leave us stranded.
