Transmission shifts into lower gear,and speedometer quits working. Stopped truck , turned truck off and turned truck on and it drives normal,
While driving, my truck down shifted suddenly. Already 3 times on different occasions.
Power steering failure. On two separate occasions the power steering pulled the steering wheel out of my hands while making a right hand turn. I was lucky that in both occurrences that there was nothing in the other lane or there would have been an accident. This should be a huge safety concern for Ford but I seriously doubt they even care.
While truck is running it suddenly jolts an downshifts to first gear. Then jolts again into gear. It takes a while sometimes for it to get back in gear and running. Does it randomly but more and more often. Mechanic serviced transmission said it was fine. Feels unsafe to drive
"transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect" and 108 lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. These vehicles may have a transmission range sensor (trs) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear.
My back signal light doesn't work and has a rapid flashing on the dashboard. I was told it was my bcm control and needed to be replaced. Which is expensive is there any type of recall on the bcm control.
While backing up and upon turning the service advancetrac light came on and stayed on. I researched and found that ford has been having problems since 2011 for the electric steering rack and pinion (it was new technology for the 2011 model) going bad and could cause an accident if you lose power steering and there have been tsb's about said problem and no recall has been done regarding this dangerous problem. This should be recalled knowing there is thousands of people having this problem and having to pay over $2k to get this fixed when ford knows about said problem and will do nothing to help the consumer for this is a safety issue and someone could get seriously hurt.
