Recall 19s07: recall description: on your vehicle, an intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss) in the transmission may result in an unintended downshift to first gear. Risk to safety: an unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy program: ford motor company has authorized your dealer to reprogram the powertrain control module with software that will prevent an unintended downshift into first gear in the event of an intermittent oss failure. This service will be performed free of charge (parts and labor). F-150 3.5l, 5.0l, and 6.2l vehicles: ford motor company is working as quickly as possible to develop the software for this repair. When the software become available, ford motor company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). The software is anticipated to be available by late 2nd quarter, 2019. Status: 11 - recall incomplete my vehicle shifted into 1st gear while traveling 70 MPH and towing a boat. This nearly caused a accident which would have resulted in deadly consequences. I took it to the ford dealership and they have quoted me $5136.51 to fix the damages due to fords software issue. It has damaged the transmission and they are refusing to fix it.

Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear when at speeds of 40 MPH. Then sudden upshift to fourth than in limb mode. Found also that the transmission quick connect was leaking and lost all transmission fluid and no warning lights to let me know that all the fluid was missing. Ford told me that I required a new transmission but it took them a week to notice that transmission fluid was missing. They told me that they tighten up the quick connect and the leak may stop. Well, a day later still have the problem of upshifting and downshift at 3rd to fourth. All the fluid was missing again no warning lights. I replace lines and fuild and the upshift and down shift is gone but now have grinding of the thrid and fourth gear.

Noticeable increase in shifting times and in some cases slipping/missing gears. This occurs on highway driving and regular driving and most noticeable when attempting to pass a vehicle, increase in speed when entering the highway, or when climbing a hill and the vehicle downshifts. Decrease of power is noticed when starting at a stopped position and a hesitation. Vehicle was taken to a ford dealership for manufacturer recall 19s07 and I was told that they received notice not to reprogram 2013 f150's with a 3.5l engine and that new programming had to be developed for these vehicles. I also received a notice in the mail about an additional recall for my vehicle (not listed in the federal safety agency) where a speed sensor failure may occur which require replacement of the transmission (see attached). When I've described the problems I've been experiencing with my vehicle to the ford dealership, I was told they were not symptoms of either of the recalls and would not qualify for repair under the recalls. The issues were first noticed around may 16, 2019 and have been noticed a number of times since then. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My vehicle experienced a sudden complete failure of one of the transmission cooler lines just before the quick disconnect. This occurred while driving under normal conditions and under acceleration. The failure was unexpected and allowed a large amount of hot trans oil to spray on the hot exhaust manifold and turbo charger on the r side of the engine. The amount of white smoke was enough to stop traffic behind me. Oil spray was noticeable on the entirety of my truck. Please note this is a major risk of fire happening. The volume of hot trans fluid combined with hot exhaust and the even hotter turbos could easily ignite. Online research has shown me that this is a very common failure on the f 150 trucks in this model year range. The fact that the dealer had all lines in stock tells me this is fairly common. Please note the attached picture is not my actual failed line but that of an identical failure to mine found on the internet.

I was on my way to work as a firefighter for my shift when with no warning my truck went from high gear straight down to first gear then to park causing sudden stop and a minor accident on i275 cincinnatti then coming home it instantly went into park on us route 50 causing my truck to go out of control and swerved over into the oncoming lane almost hitting someone head on then could not move the truck as it was stuck in park sitting sideways between both lanes I finally was able to get it to move again but it barely moved as it was in high gear stuck there. I was able to barely remove it from the road and had to have a tow truck retrieve it and bring it to my house this is a real safety issue that ford is not in a hurry to fix on a recall issue on the transmissions therefore leaving me without a truck or vehicle to drive almost had a serious crash twice now. Plus my transmission is completely out of my truck now no movement for any loading etc.

Hello, my name is [xxx] and I just recently purchased a 2013 ford f-150 with 98,500 miles 3 weeks ago. I had just gotten home from work and I had to take my girlfriend to meet someone. As we were pulling out the driveway I noticed that on the gear indicator in the gauge cluster it showed I was in 5th gear, I tried to accelerate a little thinking it was a bug in the cluster but it was actually in 5th gear. I got to the end of the driveway and shut the truck off. I proceeded to start the truck back up and pull out of the driveway because everything had seemed like it went back to normal. About 5 minutes down the road as I was going 60 MPH the truck locked up the rear tires and skidded into the opposite lane, luckily no one was approaching me.

The dealership's first available appointment to address the recall was two weeks out. After trying to get an earlier appointment as the transmission had shifted gears while we were towing a trailer down a hill almost causing us to crash. The receptionist then told us that they actually cant make the correction and that we would be receiving a letter in the mail and refused to take our vehicle in.

Ford has known about the leadframe issue on the transmissions for a very long time. Their fix, besides extending the warranty, is to modify the software. However, they've now delayed that fix until an expected october date for my 2013 f-150. That is totally unacceptable. They should be required to replace the leadframe now.

My truck is affected by an open recall and ford will not fix it. This has already cost almost $500, completely out of my own pocket. The truck downshifted from 6th gear to 1st while I was diving on the highway at 55 MPH. This caused a transmission line to completely sheer at the connection. There is currently a recall for this exact problem but the ford dealership told me they were informed in am email from ford not top flash the update for 2013 models because it wasn't working. In response, the dealership fixed the line and charged me full price. Now the service wrench is flashing again.
