The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact took the vehicle to wynn odom Ford (4743 Washington St, la grange, nc 28551, (888) 452-6761) to be repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 19V075000 (power train). The service manager informed the contact that there were more advanced failures than the recall repair and advised him to call the manufacturer to get further authorization to repair the vehicle. When the contact called the manufacturer on March 25, 2019, he was informed that the recall repair had been completed and they could not assist. The contact was promised to speak with a service manager who said that the recall only authorized the reprogramming and further authorization and a case number were needed to get the repairs completely done.

The vehicle was repaired. The contact was denied being able to speak to a supervisor. The failure mileage was 99,500.. consumer received second recall was issued.

I bought it with @ 10,000 miles on the odometer. I have had nothing but [xxx] with it from day one. First off I put two new front rotors and brake pads all the way around and both idler pulleys were squealing so I replaced them. Then at @ 19,000 miles I had to replace both cvj half shafts. Now at 45,000 miles they are both shot again the cvj half shafts are. On the first of January this year I was driving down the road and the vehicle was running good suddenly it began to cut out and the power fell off on its face. I purchased an obd11 code reader to try and diagnose the problem. It tells me that random misfire detected and that cylinders 5 6 7 8 are misfiring. Let me just say that 4 months later after going thru everything from the plugs wires injectors and replacing the fuel pump module assembly it is still not running and I'm at my end of trying to get the peice of $*** running. There is no way in [xxx] at 45,000 miles on the vehicle that I should be having all the [xxx] with the vehicle. I live in New Mexico and we do have a lemon law here. I am beyond the shadow of a doubt sure that this truck is a [xxx] lemon.

For over 2 years now an issue with the driver tran module has been causing my truck to go from any gear into first, locking tires up and causing issues while driving at any speed. ** safety recall was made on driver tran module **. however, my truck is now in worse condition without a fix to the issue, but my truck is now shutting the entire computer module down and I have further transmission issues.
Truck currently has a recall on it due to it going into first gear unexpectedly. Took truck to closest dealership two weeks ago and had the recall service completed. Was told to expect my check engine light to be on for three or four days. When it stayed on a week I called them back to discuss the light still being on. Rescheduled a follow up appointment for April 12. On April 5 and April 7 the truck had the same problem that the recall was supposed to fix. Going approx 50mph when the truck went into first gear with wheel hop and some fish tailing. When this problem occurs the instrument panel will basically go to all zero's and it takes the truck being turned off for the computer to reset and allow truck to drive normally. Just wanted to document here since truck goes back to dealership tomorrow.

On hwy 65mph accelerating speedometer reading went to zero, transmission auto downshift. Had to pull over restart and then both the speedometer and transmission worked. After this several starts the speedometer doesn't work and transmission won't shift out of 1st gear
Experienced unexpected downhift into first gear at highway speed. Transmission was erratic in gear selection with corresponding tachometer and spedometer oscillations.had six occurences with various degrees of severity.called Ford help line.all they said was that there were no recalls on this vehicle. Vehicle is " unsafe " to drive. Got the truck into the Ford dealer and hadf it coded. Truck was showing codes for defective output speed sensor. The " lead frame " had to be replaced at " my expense ". no reprogramming was done because there was " no recall " at that time. The root cause was repaired but there was still the possibility of a violent down shift event. I have since received notification of a expanded recall to reprogram and prevent the dramatic and violent downshift issue. I am going to get the truck in asap to get this done. The original recall language stated that if the vehicle was having the downshift issues and tested positive for defective output speed sensor that Ford would " replace the lead frame and reprogram " free of charge and also warrantee the components for I think 150,000 miles. I feel that I have had to make this vehicle " safe to drive " at my expense. The real fix is to replace the lead frame and reprogram. I was just lucky that there was no oncoming traffic when I experienced the dramatic down shift into first gear and had to manuver to the shoulder of the road. I feel bad for any one else that has to go through this. Ford is getting off on the " cheap ' by not doing the " complete " fix. Very !!!!!!!!! unhappy Ford owner.

My transmission was shifting out of 6th gear into 1st gear. This was updated by a computer fix that keeps it from shifting to 1st gear but into 5th instead. Ford has a customer satisfaction program 16N02 that addresses the same problems I am having and a fix for it. My truck was built at the plant indicated, in the time frame indicated and gives the engine codes as indicated by the bulletin. I have contacted them about it and despite all these findings am being told that it is not their problem to fix. My mileage is below the 150K threshold that is set for this warranty extension on the lead frame problem. Their fix to stop it from shifting to 1st gear reduces the chance for a major accident but their refusal to fix the problem in the lead frame still leaves this as a safety issue. A down shift at speed to 5th gear still causes an unindicated and uncontrolled slow down of my truck, the loss of speedometer is also apparently causing some problem with the passenger side airbag when this occurs as I MA getting a message to remove objects from the passenger seat when this occurs. My local Ford shop will not try to warranty this problem, I have made 2 different contacts at Ford concerning this and they all say it is not one they have marked for having this problem. I can't help that it is not one they thought might be affected, I can only say that it has been and can't get it repaired by them.
The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. While driving between 30-50 mph, the gear shifter switched into neutral and caused the engine to rev. The failure eventually caused the vehicle to lose power. The vehicle was taken to salinas valley Ford Lincoln (1100 auto center cir, salinas, ca 93907) where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
I received written notice from Ford that our 2012 year model, Ford, F-150 pickup truck was recalled under Ford recall: 19S07 and NHTSA recall: 19V-075. This is the recall having to do with Ford PCM programming being unable to cope with an intermittent failure of the transmission oss. The PCM would force the vehicle into 1st gear regardless of current operating speed (mph). I was just informed by a local Ford dealership that Ford cannot perform a fix on my vehicle because they only repaired the PCM for the V8 engine and have not yet gotten around to the V6 eco boost engines, even though the recall documents I received instruct me to take the truck in for the recall repair. Further, the recall documents I received have the vehicle info (VIN included) on each of them so one would assume the VIN was crosschecked with Ford's manufacturing data base to determine if the offered fix actually fit the vehicle. I am told that our vehicle does need the fix but it will not be out until some time later this summer.
