This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My truck was reprogrammed for the sudden transmission downshift issue. It is still occuring. After numerous calls to Ford I was told the dmv would issue recall notice. How can they if Ford won't send the correct information? the downshift delete also affects the downshift when in tow haul mode, so that it will not downshift to assist in braking. I need my truck's transmission to be fixed so that it will stop downshifting when trying to accelerate. This is dangerous when merging into traffic.
"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.
The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle inadvertently shifted to first gear causing the tires to lock-up. The vehicle was turned off and restarted with no issues. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was a recall for the failure. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (power train). The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to darlings Ford Volkswagen Audi (403 hogan rd bangor, me 044101) where the failure was diagnosed as a transmission failure. The vehicle's computer was reprogrammed however, the failure was not remedied. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer overnight for repairs however, a week later the failure recurred. The contact was informed that the repair would be over a $1,000. The contact was unaware of the diagnoses since the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was emailed and made aware of the failure however, no assistance was offered. The contact stated that the recall was not confirmed by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Have researched and found Ford recall 19S07, this is everything the truck is doing, no letters have been sent. How can I get a case number to take to dealership to have fixed
Transmission has been ongoing problem since 7/2012. When driving away from certain situations, transmission will slam into 2nd gear. Local dealer has replaced shims in rear suspension, new driveshaft, major and minor transmission parts, reprogrammed computer, etc., all to no avail. Parting words from the dealer were always "give the computer 500 miles to settle in and all will be good" never happened, transmission still slams into second and pushing 140,000 miles now. Have even written letters to Ford Motor Company about this. Took truck into dealer per their recommend and not fixed. Feel I will need to drive the truck into the ground as can't think anybody would want to buy it like this. Would also think twice about buying another Ford truck.

While driving the speedometer goes to zero. The odometer displays just dashes. The engine power is reduced significantly. I pull over and shut the engine off, remove the key and then restart the truck. Then it drives normally until the next time it happens.
There is a major problem with the driveshaft. It's coating wears off which causes it to get into a bind when you come to a stop or from a start. Feels like it is hung up in between gears. Ford recalled F150 raptor and fixed it but the regular F150 they didn't recall and it has the same driveshaft. There are numerous videos on youtube call the slip yoke clunk if you need to see what it is doing.
The vehicle is an automatic transmissionsand is unexpectedly downshift into first gear while the vehicle is in motion. You have a recall on other Ford F150's and this should be one of them for the money we paid for the truck
The 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission that is located in many F150's is defective as it can shift harshly and erratically at very high speeds, causing vehicle control loss and causing accidents. The vehicle will often jerk, lunge, and cause loss of control as sometimes it will stop engaging. Ford dealers are hesitant to repair the part and negligent when it comes to the safety of the drivers. Often not blaming it to the faulty transmission but other 'non related faults' that have occurred in the transmission, hence not providing free repair.
The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was initially repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (power train) at richmond Ford West (10751 w broad St, glen allen, va 23060). The contact stated that soon after the repair, the unintended vehicle downshift continued to occur while driving at various speeds without warning. The contact stated that upon reaching 35 mph, the vehicle would abruptly jerk before resuming normal driving. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer where he was given an estimate for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and referred him back to a dealer to have the vehicle diagnosed. A case was also filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 102,000.
When driving at slow speeds (ie parking lots) the transmission downshifts into first gear with a very large "bang" noise. This problem is very intermittent. Ford has issued a recall (16S19) which was performed on my vehicle by the local Ford dealership, but it did not resolve this problem. I returned to my local and they keep clearing the transmission's computer in the hopes of relearning my driving habits. This was done twice since the recall was performed, with no improvement.
