POWER TRAIN
Our truck lost power and lights on dash came on with a wrench nothing else was working. Truck was not shifting properly and lost all power. We contacted Ford and they said the truck had a recall for transmission module but it was expired and they would not help us. We were never notified of the recall. In speaking with ford they did not want to help us and told us to contact the better business bureau. I found information on this recall online our truck is a 2013 Ford themselves said it should have been fixed but we had no idea of the problem. [XXX] . Is this not a safety issue that could cause an accident if the truck shifted in first gear while going down the highway at speed? I am blown away by Fords lack of care and assistance with this issue.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
I recently purchased a new 2023 Ford F150, XL Trim, Crew Cab truck. This weekend on a trip, the vehicle's air conditioning began to malfunction. After operating for less than an hour and without adjusting the fan motor speed, the volume of air coming out of the vents gradually decreases to nothing and the cab of the vehicle begins to warm. With only 350 miles on the vehicle, I pulled off of the road, turned off the engine, and let the vehicle set for 20 minutes, hoping everything would reset. After the 20-minute period, I started the vehicle and the AC seemed to be working as it should. After driving another 20-30 minutes, the cab began to warm again and upon checking the air coming from the vents, it was minimal to none. I turned up the fan to max speed and the volume of air coming from the vents remained minimal and the temperature in the cab continued to rise. This time I turned the system AC off (no compressor) and left the fan on to bring in outside air in hopes of dropping the cabin temp. Immediately after turning the AC system off the air flow from the vents increased to a normal level. After operating with the AC off for 20 minutes, I turned the AC back on and the system, and yet again, the AC System operated as it should. This went on for my entire 8-hour trip. Not only an uncomfortable inconvenience, but this issue could also be safety issue (visibility) when depending on the vehicle's defog/defrost system as the AC system (compressor and condenser) is used for defogging/defrosting the vehicles windows. A similar issue has been noted in previous year models under Ford Tech Service Bulletin 22-2089. Being my issue is duplicated in the issue section of the service bulletin, the year model of my vehicle is not included. In performing some internet research, it seems that many owners of 2023 Ford F150 models are experiencing this exact issue. This issue does not cause panel lights to illuminate. Currently awaiting call back from Ford Dealer.

STEERING
As I was driving my 2015 Ford F150 ( 53453 miles)today the electronic power steering quit working and locked the steering wheel as I was rounding a long left turn. As I was coming out of the corner the steering wheel locked and continued to turn left causing me to cross the center line and enter into oncoming traffic.Luckily for me and everyone else the driver of the oncoming car saw me coming over and responded accordingly. I had to force the steering wheel to the right to get the vehicle to respond. Once I had the truck back in my lane the steering started binding and three different faults appeared on the dash. 1. Electronic Power Assist 2. Advance Trac 3. Hill Start Assist. The locking (binding) steering wheel continued for the next 8 miles until I was able to get it safely off the highway. After shutting the vehicle off and restarting it the faults were no longer showing and the steering started working properly. After researching this online it appears to be a very very serious issue with these trucks. I also see that this issue has been reported to the NHTSB by other people with the same vehicle. If not for the alert driver in the oncoming lane there would have been a serious head on collision with sever injuries. I have no choice but to drive this vehicle not knowing if or when this will occur again. This is an issue that more than likely will result in fatalities. I am hoping this will be investigated with top priority.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle at highway speed of over 50 MPH will suddenly downshift into 1st or 2nd gear causing the tachometer to spike past 4500 RPM and the vehicle to suddenly lurched to an almost stop and shake. When this first occurred I thought I had done something since it corrected itself once I took my foot off the accelerator. This has occurred on numerous occasions since that first incident and one time I had to put the vehicle into neutral to alleviate the lurching while the engine still revved up past 4000 RPM. Very nerve rattling. I am afraid this will cause an accident if I'm traveling on the highway and the vehicle suddenly slows down while I;m being followed by another vehicle. I took the vehicle to a recognized reputable transmission place who could fine nothing wrong but stated the condition sounded like a some sensor is sending erroneous information. Very frustrating to have this happen on numerous occasions and yet no issue found. I should not have to be downshifting into neutral when ever this occurs, this is also dangerous.

The transmission cooler line is prompt to break from the metal and plastic connection from 09 to 14 all model engines. Is caused of the friction of the vehicle, corrosion and weather specificallyis your vehicle is from the north. Causing for the fluid to leak, empty the fluid from the transmission and burning it.... took the vehicle and talk to various mechanic and the dealership and was told is a common problem in those model and year trucks.... there's no recall on them..... The lines from my vehicle are starting to show fluid leak....

POWER TRAIN
The warning light came on the truck which was the wrench symbol on Saturday March 30. Over the past couple weeks the transmission has been doing harsh shifting, jerking, loss of power or just hesitantion its as though the truck doesn't know what gear it needs to be in while driving it will go 10th gear to first gear without any warning. We took the truck to our local ford dealership on April 5th to have the transmission filter changed and the transmission flushed the service technician then drove it afterwards and left a detailed description of what the truck was doing. After paying for the repair the service representative told me basically the transmission needed to be replaced. This is a very well know issue with the 10r80 transmission.

The display screen went black. Without it there is no back up camera ( and many other features). This is a king cab long bed. Very dangerous to drive without these important safety features working properly. The dealer says it is a “common problem”. It is a $1500 repair if it were not still under warranty.

while i was driving the speedometer went all the way to zero and started shifting down into first gear. i took it into a ford shop and they said i was 4000miles over the 150000mile warranty, and that the code p720 popped up on the codes. they said i need to replace the leadframe in the transmission and reprogram it, which will cost me $1500 out of pocket. it is very dangerous driving because i could easily get into an accident when this happens or transmission could blow that gear. i hope ford extends this warranty because i was reading online and found lots of people having the same issue as me.

High-speed highway travel this morning. Switched lanes and pressed accelerator; engine cut out. Seemed to be in no gear for 6-9 seconds before lurching into power again. Incident was very dangerous and forced a rapid slowing in fast lane affecting traffic behind me. This has happened 4 times in the past 8 months.
