Upon leaving my driveway which is on a hill I went to apply my brakes and had no response, caused me to go off the curb. My brake pedal was hard to operate I went on line and did some research found out about recall.
2013 Ford F-150 transmission complaints
Page 44 of 46: complaints 1,271 to 1,300 of 1,346, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the vehicle at 50mph the truck suddenly shifted from 5th gear to 1st gear causing the rear wheels to loose traction and loss of control into on coming cars in a turn lane. After a few seconds noticing the RPM's reached 6800 the truck shifted to 3rd gear and I was able to avoid impact. No trouble lights or any indications were given. I'm filing a complaint to see if any other owners of this year truck are having this problem. There is a recall 16s19 for 2011-2012 ford trucks but when asking ford about my 2013 doing the same thing I get shunned. The damage caused by the down shift has resulted in the truck needing a complete new transmission which was stated by ford's field service rep. My truck has been sitting at the dealer since april 18th and is still not drivable after 2 different attempts to fixing the problem.
Throttle was completely lost. Truck would only run around 5 MPH maximum. Would not take throttle at all. This is a very dangerous condition when in a high traffic and multi lane setting where all the other vehicles are running at high speeds. It is also very dangerous when pulling a 7000 lb trailer with no or extremely limited pull offs for emergencies such as this. It creates a very real possibility of death. This occurred on a local road in fitzgerald, ga traveling straight with light traffic conditions fortunately. I drove the truck in to fitzgerald ford from about 3 to 4 miles away at the above mentioned speed. The dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle body, and it was replaced at a cost to me of $248.12. My wife's car also had this problem with the exact same part. It was replaced by the same dealership and paid for by us. My wife [xxx] subsequently received correspondence from ford that indicated the throttle body warranty had been extended, and that cost that we previously paid was refunded to us. Her car which we still own is a 2010 ford fusion sel. The VIN is [xxx]. The incident with my truck occurred yesterday, june 24, 2016. The diagnosis, repair and payment for the repair also took place yesterday. Is there any difference between the extension of the car throttle body warranty and the truck? Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was parked on a incline with the engine off and the transmission in drive. I went to step out of the vehicle when it started to roll backwards. The truck was rolling backwards and the door was pushing me down the hill with it. Luckily I was able to get back in the truck and stop the vehicle. Another time I was parked in a parking lot with the engine off and the transmission in drive and after awhile the vehicle started to roll forward. After both incidents I asked my ford dealer and they stated that it was normal for the truck to roll when the transmission was in drive. The first time I could've been seriously hurt and the second time someone in the parking lot could've been seriously hurt.
When I turn on and place the truck in drive, my steering wheel locks up to where I cant use steering wheel, I get a error on dash stating "assist power steering failure. I place truck in park and turn vehicle off, and restart and problem seems fine, until steering wheel locks up while driving and I get this same error. Ford dealer is charging me $2000 to fix this problem. This could cause a major crash. I believe ford should have this recalled and pay for this.
While accelerating to merge into traffic on the interstate the truck shuttered violently and lost all power to the drive train. Motor was still running but transmission would not engage for approximately 10-15 seconds. Tapped accelerator 2 times and motor would rev up but transmission did not engage again until third attempt. I have my truck serviced regularly, this is not a low transmission fluid issue and seems to be the same issue reported by other f150 owners across the country. This is a safety issue, I was almost hit in the rear after this happened. The service light came on when this issue occurred; however, after going to the dealer and shutting the engine off the service light did not reappear when started again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the transmission downshifted independently and the rpms increased. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it could not be diagnosed or duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000. Updated 07/14/16*lj the consumer stated the transmission/computer was reprogrammed by the dealer. The problem recurred several times. Updated 07/19/16.
Vehicles has several times after being at a stop, vehicle will not engage transmission. Vehicle will accelerate engine RPM's, but is like it is neutral and speedometer goes to 0. Vehicle will roll, but stops in middle of road, intersection or shoulder if enough speed before it stops. Brought vehicle in 2 times and kinsel ford dealership can't get it duplicate problem. Called ford motor and they told me they can't help me until a certified technician sees it. Was told I need to drive vehicle until it does this again and call roadside assistance and don't restart so codes won't clear. I feel this was unsafe because vehicle can stall in a intersection and cause a cause a wreck. Ford told me they couldn't help me until they could actually see this prove. I have to have a vehicle and drive it until it does it so I can get this fixed.
Truck shifts up & down by self. Jerks hard when shifting. When stopped speedo goes to 30 to 50 and shows in 3rd gear. At start in this situation it jumps violently forward. When trying to merge with traffic will not shift out of 1st gear. Restart and take back roads as it is not safe in traffic or where there are pedestrians at a cross walk. Phil long ford denver is waiting to hear from ford. Ford has started a case report on this vehicle but has not responded. I am concerned this is a big safety problem. This appears to happen when the transmission temperature goes up over 200 degrees f. The problems happen while stopped, stopping, starting highways or secondary roads, this happened 2 times within the last month.
While driving 75 MPH the transmission dropped into a low gear enough to make the tires bark, then within seconds while assessing what happened it happened again. I put the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the shoulder. If a car had been following within 3 or 4 car lengths there would have been a collision. The action was severe and abrupt. The motor never shut off, but the transmission shifted into a lower gear twice before I was able to put it in neutral and work my way to the shoulder.
My truck has been experiencing hesitation upon acelleration and is making noises and my check engine light was on. I took it to the dealership on february 2, 2016 be fixed and at first it was covered under warranty. I took it back on february 16, 2016 bc I had to have a ford rental per ford. The truck was repaired but then it wasn't covered per ford and I had to pay over $400 to get it fixed. My check engine light came on again and it had to go back to the dealership but this time it was covered under warranty. I just got my truck back on april 11,2016 and today on april 14, 2016 the light is back on. I am waiting on a call back from the ford dealership to find out what to do next.
From time to time the truck starts to shake violently and have to pull over and stop.it shakes all the time from the rear between 45 and 60 MPH. Has been back to dealer 3 or 4 times with no results. The last visit I was told this normal,after some research there seems to be a lot of complaints about this.I have had this truck a yr and 1/2 put 10,000 miles on it because im afraid something is going to shake out of it.ford should be ashamed taking peoples money for trucks they cant use
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the transmission downshifted without warning and the instrument cluster failed suddenly. The vehicle was stuck in fifth gear. The contact notified the dealer and they advised the contact to wait a moment and restart the vehicle. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road to restart the vehicle, which reset the computer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who disassembled the transmission and indicated that there was an internal failure. The micro chip was covered in transmission fluid. The dealer did not indicate why the transmission fluid leaked internally or if there was an internal fracture within the transmission. The dealer replaced the part with a modified version of the micro chip within the transmission along with a cover. The contact was uncertain if the repair would provide a permanent remedy for the condition. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 99,116.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 25 MPH downhill in second gear, the vehicle felt as if it were shifted into neutral and accelerated down the hill. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000. Updated 03/09/16*lj the consumer stated while driving down a hill, when the transmission was cold, he put the vehicle in second gear. However, it held back for approximately 10 seconds and then it felt as though the vehicle went into neutral on its own. Updated 5/10/16.
Vehicle decelerated during attempt hard acceleration. Had loss of power while trying to accelerate on two separate occasions. Once while accelerating on an on ramp and once during acceleration up a steep incline and highway speeds. Both during wet conditions. Check engine light came on while decelerating and then went off after slowing and pulling to side of road. Dangerous circumstance while trying to merge and from overtaking traffic.
I have some strange shifting issues with this truck ford has denied me a fix. As of now, it seems to be consistent with the split two-piece drive shaft "bump". (spline yoke needs grease) or tsb 14-0090 for the rear differential. It feels like sometimes you hit a bump but the road is smooth. Drive shaft spline needs grease? Also, very rough "clunk" when shifting from reverse to drive and vice-versa. Second gear shuddering at times under slight acceleration. Rough shifting random, but it happens from time to time. I've been to one dealership several times. I've contacted ford customer service for some assistance...the first time I got basically nowhere. This time, the representative from ford says she cannot talk to me at the times I am available. I feel like they are hiding the problems with refusal to "fix" the truck. I know I've read all over the internet this is happening to other f-150 owners. Very frustrating and annoying. I've talked to a local area drive-train specialty shop. He said to bring it by and look at it for me at a cost. However, my truck is still within the drive-train warranty...but ford refuses to assist their very own customers. Not a very happy customer any more. I just want my truck repaired permanently. Oh, yes, the dealership did finally replace the front pump assembly in the transmission earlier this year, but that has not resolved the problem.
While driving and accellerating in a normal manner the vehicle will upshift properly until it reaches 4th gear and will not shift any further, even at freeway speeds of 65 to 70 MPH for several miles no matter what I attempt to do. Sometimes it will make it to 5th gear and remain there even though I'm not loaded down or pulling anything.
Driving appx. 60 miles per mile.the powertrain malfunction light came on power was reduced and I had to pull over,shut off the engine,then restart to clear the alarm(this is the second time this has happened) the ford garage can not find any thing wrong?because the alarm in cleared.
This is an update to my complaint filed preciously. After the second episode of loss of power and the check engine light coming on. I took my ecoboost powered truck to a ford dealer and they performed tsb 14-0017. This was supposed to fix the engine loosing power. This is why the federal safety agency closed the investigation of the f150 ecoboost. This has not worked. Yesterday 11-7-2015 I was on a 2 hour highway trip in rainy conditions. While driving the motor again lost power and could not even maintain highway speeds. This was dangerous to my family and everyone around us. The tsb from ford has not fixed the dangers of these trucks. Please re-open the investigation into this dangerous vehicle before someone is killed or injured. American roads deserve safe cars.
We have taken this vehicle numerous times to fix the transmission and motor (eco boost 6-cylinder) the transmission does not shift smoothly, the vehicle lurches and has a lack of power/acceleration. The vehicle is in motion and experiences these problems both in city and highway driving. The federal safety agency has hundreds of complaint and ford has received over 4000. The last time we took it to the dealer their explanation was: "cannot duplicate customer's complaint" this platform is faulty and somehow ford has been able to keep it off the radar. Apparently ford does not know how to fix it and continues to deny that there is a problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000.
Driving down the road going about 45mph and lost power to gas wouldn't go over 30mph tool light came on then and number 1 warning light came on. Let it sit for half a hour , turn back on and it must have reset it self p. Drove back home which is 20 miles away and it did it again. I bought this truck brand new it only has 60k miles on it.
Vehicle experiences sudden & rapid power loss, deceleration and vehicle shuttering at highway speeds. Occurs quickly and without any warning, presenting major safety issue as it has almost caused several vehicle crashes. At highway speeds this can result in severe vehicle damage and potential injuries. Dealer attributes issue to be with the throttle body and has been a problem on a number of ford vehicles over the last 2 years. I have verified this by internet query. I have not seen or received any notification or recalls from ford on this or any other problems with my truck model. The vehicle in question is a 2013 ford f150 with the eco-boost engine.
I was driving down freeway and went to exit and heard a sound with a warning light with advancetrac service and power steering default. I was unable to move my steering more than just a few inches left or right and stopped immediately. I had to get it towed to the dealership do to the steering was unable to function any longer.

My ford 150 v8 supercab at 32 miles per hour starts shaking the whole truck and vibrates. It does this regardless of road conditions and or gear the truck is in. It only goes away when you drop below 32 or go faster than 35.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred only during rainy or humid weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on three separate occasions where the six spark plugs, converter assembly, and nuts were replaced. In addition, the PCM was updated, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 11,132.
My 2013 ford f150 xlt began flashing a warning saying service advancetrac. Then it immediately begins flashing shift to park. The truck then begins to downshift causing a rapid slowing of the truck.. When I get to the side of the road to stop I hear metal on metal grinding noises from the engine compartment that I believe is the transmission trying to shift to park... The truck then loses all blinkers and flashers as well as all lighting on the instrument panel. I was able to drive it to a safe location off the road this time.. The truck randomly continues this and its been in the shop several times and they say nothing is wrong with it. I finally got fed up and began video of the dash display in order to document my safety and problems. This truck is 9 months old and has 14000 miles on it. It has done it again and all electrical systems would not reboot and left me stranded for a long time. We have been driving on i95 at 75mph during holiday traffic and it happened again and we literally thought we would be killed because cars had to slam on brakes to avoid our disabled car. It was even scarier since my 6month old daughter was in the vehicle then.we are at a loss because ford has completely ignored the problem and just assumes I will stop making them fix this at some point. I'm in a 1 car family and bought this to accommodate my new baby and have her a safe ride...this problem is dangerous and it is going to hurt or kill someone if its left unaddressed. [xxx] at jim hudson ford service has told me he knows its something wrong with it but ford will not allow him to fix it under the warranty terms for new trucks.

Driving in rainy conditions attempting to accelerate my truck started to lose power, shaking and check engine light started to flash. After getting out of traffic to pull over called my wife to bring me my o.b.d hand held found that I had codes p0300, p0304, p0305 and p0306 which is for cylinders misfiring . This is the second time this has happened in heavy traffic condition it could easily cause a traffic accident, does someone have to die before ya'll take action. My truck is at kenly ford in kenly north carolina and like the first time they play it off like I don't know what I am talking about and they always say they can't find anything wrong with it. Please don't sit around and let this problem cost someone their life......
