In November 2019 my truck had a recall from Ford (Recall #19S07) applied. and also this recall On August 5th, 16th, 20th, 25th, 27th I have experienced the following condition: Hard unexpected down shift, in one incident while traveling in 6th gear at highway speed the transmission down shifted to 1 gear, locking up the rear wheels. (this also caused me to swerve off of the road) In addition the electronic dash board went dark and displaced a wrench. The error was corrected by cycling the power off and back on. I did contact Ford about this issue and they said the extend warranty from 19N01 was only to 150,000 miles and at the time of the call to Ford the milage on the truck was 151K.

I was driving on the freeway going 65mph when the transmission started switching gears it went from 6 gear to 1st gear in a matter of 1 second, luckily no one was behind me or else I would’ve got hit. I took it to ford to get recall unexpected Transmission downshift fixed, but it didn’t fix anything it actually got worse. Now the speed gauges stop working out of no where and it gets stuck in whatever gear I am driving in when this happens 2 codes turn on P0720 output shaft speed sensor and P0721output shaft speed range/performance. My truck had no issues before this recall. My life is in danger when I’m driving this truck I have called the dealership but I get the same answer every time that there’s nothing else they can do.
I was driving at about 30-35mph and my truck shifted into 1st gear unexpectedly. I have started to notice it doesn’t shift quite like it supposed to.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle would not switch gears and remained in first gear. The contact stated that the powertrain warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed with needing the transmission replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was over the mileage for the recall coverage. The failure mileage was approximately 163,379.
Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the EXACT same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.
Driving down the road 60 miles an hour truck will shift to First very dangerous I've had the reprogram done didn't do nothing I would like my truck to be fixed I make payments on this [XXX] thing and I want it to run as it should INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact coasted the vehicle to shoulder and wait for a few minutes before restarting the vehicle and the vehicle resumed normal functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission molded lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the warranty had expired. The contact was informed that the information she saw regarding the failure was for a field service action and not a recall. The field service action number was: 19N01. The contact stated the vehicle only drove in third gear. The failure mileage was approximately 153,294
Transmission began acting a little funny - hesitating, slowing down a little and seemingly re-engaging, before coming to a stop. When accelerating from stopped, crossing a 2-lane state route, orange wrench icon flashed on the driver display and launched in 3rd gear. Went into limp mode and made it home, ranging from 3rd gear to 5th gear for that duration. Occurred two other times, both after about 15-20 minutes of the truck running. Research of similar problem and error codes that were read point to a bad molded lead frame, but I am outside of Ford's "extended warranty" mileage, so I have not spent the money to have it diagnosed at a Ford location. No symptoms prior to the problem. Truck is parked since reading about 6th-to-1st gear downshifts on the highway.
From Ford's customer satisfaction web, shows no recalls, but shows 19N01 – Transmission Molded Leadframe Extended Coverage – 2011-2013 Ford F-150. Symptoms are speedometer will go to 0. Many reported cases the transmission will downshift from 6th gear into 3rd. My case was intermittent... I'd get speedometer 0mph loss of power general solution was to stop vehicle, stop engine restart. Depending on highway conditions this was at times only uncomfortable. My last event was awkward, it occurred multiple times within a less than 10 mile drive. Multiple stops/restarts the engine accelerated to 40-50mph while I did not have my foot on the accelerator. I decided to take to local transmission shop, where they were told by multiple suppliers he could not purchase the part because there was a service recall. I used the Ford Customer satisfaction web site, researched this, to find my truck exceeded the mileage for Ford to service this. So I was in a catch 22, Ford would not fix under recall, and would not sell the part to a service facility. I called the satisfaction line, explained the problem they transferred me to Ford corp, and told me to explain to executive for service. I listened to the voice mail identifying to leave a message and they would get back to me in 48 business hours. I called two times 7/2 - expecting a call back by 7/6, the again 7/7. I have received no call back. Initially my goal was simply to have them clear the way to purchase the molded leadframe or to sell this to the transmission shop so I could have my truck repaired. During this time I investigated other's that had this problem, with some very disturbing results. Truck violently decelerating by downshifting from 6th at highwayspeeds to 3rd. On occasion I haul my tractor, I was considering what happened if towing a trailer and a sudden downshift? What if the roads were wet? Clearly this is a safety issue, where Ford believes at over 150k miles they are much safer to drive.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission malfunctioned and erroneously down shifted causing the engine RPM’s to rev very high while the vehicle decelerated. During the failure, the hill descent and check engine light warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine was faulty. The contact indicated that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 19V075000 (Power Train) and the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,000.

This complaint is about a known issue with certain Ford Vehicles related to the transmission molded leadframe. On May 26, 2021, I was accelerating onto a highway when my transmission downshifted from 4th gear to 1st gear and my speedometer and tachometer failed. Thankfully I was able to pull over safely and when re-started, the speedometer and tachometer came back up and the vehicle was driveable again. The next night, I experienced the same thing only I was in a parking lot and was again able to safely pull my vehicle over. I was not able to get an appointment at my local dealer until June 10th at which point they confirmed it was the leadframe and subject to the extended warranty. My complaint is that Ford was allowed to take the easy way out and wait for a failure of the faulty leadframe as opposed to this being a recall with proactive replacement. In my instance, I was not traveling at a high rate of speed. However, I was planning on taking the truck on a road trip on May 29th where if that had happened I would not have been so lucky. This issue is dangerous and needs to be under a full recall, not an extended warranty.
Cam phasers and timing chain goes out way more then it should on these F150s

On 5/24/21 I started to pull out onto a two lane, 55mph road with a trailer behind me. The truck stalled and I was stuck across both lanes and could have been hit broadside from either direction. I was told by our local Ford dealer that there is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB-15-0137) for the fuse holder for the fuel pump. I researched online and this is a very common problem. I had a similar issue occur in March of 2021 where my truck would not start in a driveway and the Ford dealer did not find the problem and it seemed to have fixed itself. The fuse holder is apparently not designed for the amount of current in the circuit. This is a very serious issue. I could have been seriously injured or killed that day. This problem does not lead to any warning lamps, messages, other symptoms or error codes.
Vehicle will intermittently not shift . I can be driving normally and stop a light. When I accelerate, the vehicle will intermittently ot shift gears. This can happen on on-ramps, or anytime vehicle speed is reduced. The recall for this did not include the plant .y vehicle was manufactured, so I am on the hook for repairs should I decide to fix it.
When driving down the road the speedometer goes to zero and the vehicle starts to jerk and will not shift.
I have intermittently noticed for the past 10 months the transmission will be shifted to low gear (1st or 2nd) and is unable to shift into the higher gears. The automatic transmission is in drive when this happens. It occurs while I am driving, and I have to manually shift it back into drive with the manual gear up buttons on gear shifter. It happens when I am in motion driving in the city, and I have not seen it happen on the highway at high speeds yet. The symptoms are described in detail in ford recall 19s07, but my pickup doesn't qualify for the recall.
Driving on the road at 60mpg the truck downshifted I to 1st gear from 6th. Then the speedometer displayed zero. And wrench light came on. I took to dealer they performed fords update and I drove no more than 20 miles and it did the same just went to first from 6th. Both times I was lucky there were no cars behind me and road conditions were dry otherwise it could of been a very bad accident.
This 2013 f150 ford truck will downshift at 50 MPH from 6th gear to first gera and the truch rear wheels lock up causing the truck to go from 50mph to 20mph and I felt a violent shake. I took the truck to ocala ford and they reprogrammed the computer, however this did not help. I shut key off restart and problem temporaraly goes away. This will cause a catastrophic accedent. This has occured several times. Please advise ford motor company to recall and repair. This occured on highway 41 in dunnellon florida. If this is not corrected, this will cause death or serious injury. Thanks.

While traveling at a speed of 80 MPH on a major highway, the vehicle stalled due to the malfunction of the lead frame conductor/valve body which is a recalled part. With the help of a truck driver that saw me swerve due to the downshift, I was able to pull over. I had my two daughters (ages 8 & 4) in the vehicle with me.
Truck is hesitant to pull off as if brakes are stuck, idles high, jerks violently and seems as if it's losing power. I've been dealing with this issue for some time now and liberty ford maple has been 0 help resolving this issue. I've been hit from behind 2 times as well as multiple other close accidents due to this issue. I refuse to drive the freeway out of fear of a accident , which really affects my work. It's almost like I don't have a vehicle as I've been using family vehicles or renting.
I bought this truck 04/16/2021 that has been updated with all of ford's recalls. I felt comfortable with this purchase until I started experiencing major issues with the transmission on 04/17/2021. When I started my truck there was no check lights turned on so I put the truck into drive. As I was driving I noticed the trucks transmission was not shifting out of 1st gear on city streets. I pulled over restarted it and the problems went away. As I was driving down the highway I lost my odometer twice which made me have to pull over to restart the truck. As I was putting the truck into drive the trucks transmission jumped into 5th gear while I still had my foot on the brake. I turned around and as I was driving on the highway at 65 MPH when I experienced a sudden downshift from 5th gear to 1st gear. Whatever ford did for these recalls isn't enough, and the problems needs to be addressed more properly because it did not fix the problems the recalls were suppose to fix. I am scared to even move that truck anymore because I don't want to get into an accident or hurt someone because this problem wasn't fixed properly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact was driving 35 MPH, when the vehicle stalled. The service vehicle soon warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to kings ford (9555 kings auto mall rd, cincinnati, oh 45249) and he was informed that the vehicle was covered under the extended warranty however, the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed that the dealer was not authorized to do the service without a fault code because of the warranty stipulation. The approximate failure mileage was 146,000.
The vehicle has two "types" of problem that may be related. In some cases, the truck drops down into 1st gear regardless of the speed. This has happened three times since I picked up the truck following the attempted recall repair, but none of these incidences of dropping into 1st gear caused error codes to pop up. In another "type" of incident, the speedometer drops to zero even while in motion, and the vehicle stays in 3rd gear no matter the speed (including when not in motion, even after shifting into park and back to drive, the vehicle automatically jumps to 3rd gear before I even start to move). During this second type of incident, the airbag light came on, as did the wrench/check engine light. This second type of incident triggered many error codes: u0401:68-48 b00a0:68-08 u0401:00-08 p0722:00-68 u0401:86-08 u0401:00-08 u0401:68-08 b1083:07-08 u0423:00-28
Had safety recall 19s07 done on 4/6/2021 due to truck downshifting to 1st gear randomly. Reprogramming per the recall did not fix the issue, but truck is not displaying any of the required dtc's to be able to do the safety recall 19n01 even though truck is still downshifting to first gear randomly as well as loss of speedometer at times while driving. Truck also seems to sit in 3rd gear for a few seconds when at a complete stop. Dealership will not move forward on recall of lead frame until codes are displayed, even though the truck is showing all other symptoms as stated in 19n01
The vehicle drops into 1st gear for no reason, including when at high speed. This causes the rear wheels to skid and the vehicle to loose control. I have taken the vehicle to two ford dealerships, and they have done the software update under recall 19s07, but the vehicle continues to have this problem. Both dealerships tell me they believe the lead frame needs to be replaced to fix the sudden downshifting, but ford corporation refused to pay the cost of this repair because ford corporation say the lead frame is not covered by the 19s07 recall unless there are "error codes" (which there are not, even though the truck has downshifted three times at speeds of about 35 MPH since they "fixed" the software).
