Good morning,I have a 2011 f150 that is have a serious problem I would like to have resolved while driving the truck will down shift from 6th to 2nd at 70 miles per hour. It also will lose power and rear wheels will lock up.when coming to a stop and start again the truck makes a loud bang that feels like the drive shaft and trans. Are separating.while driving MPH will go to 0 miles ph. And a tool will display on the dash.my truck has 187k on it and have been told that ford will not fix the issue due to mileage I would hope that ford cares more about my family's safety than the 37k miles past the warranty.this is a well known problem that needs to be fixed, ford I hope you will fix my truck.it has already had the tps done didnt help,I need my truck for work and cant afford to get another at this time.help!!!!!
Power train auto transmission controls module reset has already been done to car. When accelerating from 50-75 the transmission shudders and jumps. When you go up hill it's impossible to accelerate at all without the transmission shuddering. Engine light blinks occasionally.
It is know that on most ford trucks that neutral safety module switch goes out and will not let truck start in park or neutral or any gear settings. With other power drive problems.
While driving my f150 on highway the vehicle transmission is dropping gears suddenly, it seems its going to first gear, another problem I am having with the vehicle's transmission does not go into reverse, when I push the shift lever in the reverse position, the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the reverse light does not illuminate on the dashboard of my f-150 and the backup lamp on the rear of my f-150 does not illuminate.
Back in february or march of this year (2020), I took my truck to a local ford dealer for an estimate on a couple of different repairs and also for them to perform recall #19v075. After having my vehicle for 3 days they did not perform any repairs. And until today when I looked up my VIN, I had assumed that they would have at least done the safety recall. But they apparently neglected to do that too. Well, last night when I was about to pull into my driveway, my truck seemed to downshift abruptly and have minimal power and various lights turned on and off on the dash. Then this morning, my truck would not start. It would only start in neutral, followed by extremely aggressive shifting into drive and reverse. Aggressive enough to cause the truck to move a couple of feet even with my foot on the brake. This subsequent problem appears to be associated with fsa 19n01 that ford has associated with my VIN. I suppose that it is unknown right now if the two problems are related. I will find out wednesday, as I have an appointment to take my truck back in. I just cannot believe that after having my vehicle for multiple days, they failed to perform the safety recall update as I requested. I am lucky that I did not experience the downshifting problem while at higher speeds! I am not sure if this is even worthy of a complaint, but I figured that I should pass this along. The dealership is van horn ford in oconomowoc, wi.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle shifted into first gear independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was undetermined. The dealer was not contacted. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
While driving it down shifts from 3 to 1, codes are p0705 and p0016. These should fall under the factory recall for 15n05 and 19n01 but ford refuses to cover it. Truck not only downshifts but also clinics into gear from park to drive or reverse.
I will be accelerating from a stop position or cruising in town at 40 MPH or on the interstate at 75 MPH and my transmission will randomly slam into a lower gear causing my tires to occasionally lock up. My speedometer will simply stop working, my digital dash display will display dash marks instead of numbers and also display a wrench icon. Then once I pull the vehicle over and turn it off for a minute, everything will return to normal.
2011 f150 xlt 4x4 rear slip yoke clunk. My yoke clunks on acceleration either fast or slow.
I am having a shifting problem looked up VIN on the federal safety agency and seen one recall and vehicle is doing the exact same thing described while in motion .the federal safety agency 19v075 or manufactures code 19s07
I had ford dealer preform software update for the last recall. This had made the problem worse. I have ask the dealer and the told me it was may issue. I keep getting error code p0270 when this happens.
My ford f150 is suddenly downshifting to a lower gear while on the freeway. I called the ford dealership in roseville ca and they proceeded to tell me that they do not fix this issue on the weekends at all. This is truly inconvenient to the customers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35-45 MPH, the vehicle downshifted to first gear with the service engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the instrument panel also became inoperable. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Gator ford located at 11780 tampa gateway blvd, seffner, fl 33584, (813) 321-3281, was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not subjected to the federal safety agency campaign number:16v248000 (power train) or 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
When vehicle placed in reverse there is a delay 5-8 seconds before jerking hard into gear suddenly. Additionally the gear indicator lamp on the dash disappeared. Then a large yellow wrench appears. The vehicle was assemble at the kansas facility and fords 12c23-s1. Safety recall campaign fails to cover this, stating there is no recall listed for this vehicle VIN. This vehicle nearly struck a student when my wife (teacher) was attempting to place vehicle in reverse to leave her parking place, when there was a delay to go into gear she pressed the accelerator thinking it needed fuel. As the transmission abruptly jerked into gear at the high rpms the vehicle shot backwards out of control. This is a known safety issue and is not being addressed by ford because of a number on a piece of paper. It appears I'm not the only one with this issue and ask for your assistance in helping prevent a tragedy. Your organization has addressed this in the past and it appears it needs to be addressed again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while her ex husband was driving 30 MPH, when the vehicle began to downshift and was losing control of the vehicle. The contact stated check engine warning light was illuminated. The driver continued to drive the vehicle to his destinations. The vehicle was taken to local dealer mcmahon ford located at 1 main st, norwalk, ct 06851, where it was diagnosed with needing to output speed sensor and connector stord to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. Upon investigation the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v075000 (power train).the manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 340,000.
When it gets cold the truck will go into reverse and not into drive. When trying to go to park, all the dash indicators do not light up and the check engine light comes on. After shutting off the truck and restarting it a few times, the p0705 and p1702 codes are on and I drive it home. The next day I take it in to the dealer and codes are gone and no history either. Nothing to be done as the codes I gave them are not on truck anymore. This has happened 4 times already to date within the last month.
After receiving recall 19s07-19v‑075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. My vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3.7 flex fuel. I was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. The cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. The problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. Way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model. Never off-roaded . Not a work truck. Never even towed anything. Since that downhill cruise control problem occurred, now I have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . Vehicle has never overheated. Low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. Cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. Did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?
I got a recall letter. Recall #19s07. I took my truck to ford dealership, they reprogrammed the module for the powertrain on 6/19. My extended warranty ran out 11/30/19. On 12/21/19 I was driving on the highway and I had my cruise set at 67 MPH. All of a sudden my gauges stopped working and had a tool show up on dash. Then my tires started sliding and it downshifted. I almost hit another car. I pulled over as soon as I could and stopped my truck. I restarted my truck and all the gauges were back to normal.I drove it for 2 days without any recurrences.I think reprogramming the module is only a temporary fix. Now everytime I drive it, it will down shift. I drove 35 MPH and returned home and had to keep it in low speed.so apparently the reprogramming is not a fix. It is still unsafe and now I have to pay to have it fixed properly so my vehicle will be safe on the highway. Eventually more people will be killed because it was not fixed right. Ford should be made to pay for there defects.not the consumers. I almost had a wreck because ford is trying to fix there mistakes the cheapest way out, not the safest. Respectfully submitted an unhappy ford owner
When accelerating the vehicle transmission slips into a lower gear, downshifting improperly causing a bump in the ride and a danger in clean acceleration. This issue occurred multiple times and is a contributing power train issue.
It down shifts really hard for no reason. It happened the 1st time on 12-24-19 when I was doing approx. 30 MPH and for no reason it just slammed down. Then again on 12/28/19 again I was doing about 30mph. Suddenly my dash display just showed dash lines and a picture of a wrench on it. About 10 seconds later is just slammed down again. I pulled over and shut the vehicle off for 60 seconds and then started it back up again and it was fine. The tranny also seems to be slipping on occasion
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the transmission failed and the vehicle exhibited engine oil failure. The vehicle was taken to randall reed's planet ford (19000 eastex fwy, humble, tx 77338, (866) 844-5995) where it was determined that the VIN was excluded from the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v128000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 172,245.
I was driving my ford f150 about 45mph when all of a sudden there was a hard jerk. So hard I thought someone had hit me, then a wrench came on the screen. After it jerked it slow down drastically. I turned around and took it to o'reilly's auto and they hooked it up to that machine and it gave a code that had to do with a catalytic converter. I had to wait until thanksgiving holidays were over until that following monday before I could take it to my mechanic and he hooked it up to his machine and said that one of the sensors was not registering then I remembered I had a recall on a sensor that had to do with the transmission so I took it to the ford house. I didn't have the recall paper with me so they looked it up on their computer and said they were going to reprogram the software that goes to a sensor in my transmission. And it didn't fix the problem. It is still doing the same thing and it doesn't matter, there is no way I would ever take it out on the highway I don't even want to drive it any faster than like 25 miles an hour because it jerks so hard and there's no warning when it happens whatsoever. It's scary, very scary. My complaint is I did the recall and I don't know what to do next because it's still doing the same thing like I never I know when it will do it again. I don't know if it's through the code and is no longer programmed I don't know but it's unsafe and I'm scared to drive it at all because people honk at me afterwards because I go so slow so I turned my hazards on. People are rude now days if they have to follow someone driving super slow. Which I do because of the jerk and the sound it makes. Unsafe.

Power train coming on all time / brake problems/ light coming on all times
I had recall 19s07 completed with the PCM flashed a month ago. Right after it was flashed I had extremely hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and a hard down shift from 4th-3rd, during take off and slow down. I called the dealer immediately and was told top bring it back in because the flash was corrupt and they needed to re-flash the truck. I did that and after the re-flash, the hard shifting was still there, not as often, from 1st - 2nd but at least happening at 3 take offs when driving. This continued to the current day. I was told to drive the truck for two weeks for the computer to re-learn my driving habits. Now mind you the truck drove fine prior to having this fsa PCM flash done. I took it in because the danger of having the truck go from 6th to 1st gear at 70mph is high. Now yesterday (11/20/2019) I took off from a stop light (hard shifting still happening), just reached 55mph (in motion) when the truck went from being in 5th/6th gear down to 3rd gear. Immediately the wrench light came on, my mileage display disappeared, and the truck would not leave 3rd gear. I drove slowly to a gas station and turned the vehicle off. This is exact signs of the molded lead frame and the dealer confirmed that with codes. There is a fsa 19n01 that is to replace the lead frame/ however, my truck now has 174,000 miles and 19n01 is covered to 150,000 only and ford will not honor the lead frame to be replaced. Back to my original issue, is the bad shifting of this truck did not begin until I had fsa 19s07 and the system flash. So that lead to the lead frame and speed sensors failing. Both fsa's are for the abrupt downshift possibility, and 19n01 came out after 19s07. Coincidence,? I do not think so. Ford needs to honor the warranty repair of the lead frame by the dealer. Please help before accident's happen
Vehicle abruptly shifted to 1st and is now stuck in 5th gear taking to dealership but the fact that this is a known issue and can get us killed it is beyond me how ford is dealing with this. There is a 2 week delay just to ger our vehicles in. What are we supposed to do?
