I recently purchased this vehicle used less than a week ago. i have only driven it for about 75 miles. while driving down a busy street at 45 miles an hour the truck down shifted to first gear and simultaneously the speedometer stopped working. i kept control of the vehicle but if a vehicle would have been following closely it is possible if not likely to have rear ended me. i checked the vin and it states no open recalls. evidently the vehicle was serviced for one of the past recalls which clearly describes this same event as an issue. i will contact the dealership grey daniels ford in brandon ms where it was purchased for inspection.
While driving 65 mph my 2013 f150 downshifted into first gear and locked the rear tires cause me to spin out of control. this caused minor body damage to the vehicles rear bumper, from hitting something off the side of the road. i called multiple dealerships and explained what happened at the beginning of febuary 2020. they explained that they could get me into fix the problem for about 20 days at minimum and even then they would have to keep it longer to fix it if there was something wrong. i explained that i almost rolled the vehicle after spinning out of control and asked if they could get it in sooner, the answer was continuously no from all of the dealers. i asked them if i should still drive the vehicle and they said it shouldn't be a problem to do so, i then stated so you want me to continue to drive the vehicle even though this happened and potentially get into an accident and injury myself and or someone else or permanently damage the vehicles powertrain. they still said that it should be ok to drive the vehicle. well it locked up again causing another spin out and i almost hit a school bus. how is this legal? i even called ford extended care for help and they told me that this is a recall and even though i have premium care it only covers a 10 day rental for things other then a recall and to call the dealers back for further details. so i called the dealers back and the dealers told me there rentals are all book for the next 2 weeks. a vehicle that almost killed me and other people because of this mechanical flaw shouldn't be legal to sell. and how am i supposed to go to work and get my kids around for the next month, when ford will do nothing to help. how is it that they would let me and others drive these vehicle and it not be mandated they be picked up from peoples homes and fixed. this is criminal of ford and it was a going to kill someone.
I was driving on a highway going approximately 60 mph when it unexpectedly downshifted. my momentum violently jerked me forward, the tires squeeled, and the rpm gauge went up to over 6,000. another issue is that it occasionally will not shift out of first gear. i will be starting from a stop and i'll be going about 10-15mph and if i don't let off the throttle the engine will just rev up past 4000 rpms.
Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear while in motion, speed ometer and mileage goes to zero, rpms starts to run high, and the tool light on the dash board comes on, in city streets and on highway driving. i have to stop and shut down the vehicle and wait a few minutes. when i start up the vehicle and put it in drive gear the transmission jerks.
Vehicle gets stuck in first gear sometimes and wont shift, several times vehicle has shifted to first gear on its own,also vehicle shifts erratically and gets stuck in third gear, dash quits speedo, tach, info center on dash quits working as well as odometer. have to key off to re-set. this has happen mostly on city streets and occasionally on the highway.
Truck being driven apx 55 mph and no change from me truck has sudden slowdown with speedometer drop to 40s then recovers as truck speeds up on it's own. same day as trying to park, in drive, pressing on gas engine revs but does not move. today (7 days later) accelerating from stop transmission sticks in low gear. has had powertrain recall applied.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle downshifted abruptly without warning. the failure recurred while driving 65 mph. prior to the failures, the contact took the vehicle to apple ford (8800 stanford blvd, columbia, md 21045, (410) 290-1100) and was informed that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v433000 (power train). the contact called the same dealer about the failures and was given an appointment for an inspection. the contact attempted to contact the manufacturer, but was unsuccessful. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 106,000.
My 2013 f-150 will suddenly downshift while i am doing 25-35 mph. sometimes it will not upshift from 1st gear. it may take several seconds or several minutes for it to shift out of 1st gear. when it does upshift again it will slam into the higher gear. sometimes the speedometer stops working, the airbag icon comes on, the engine icon comes on, a wrench icon comes on, sometimes the display is a series of dashes and sometimes the display is blank. if i stop and restart the engine sometimes the symptoms go away and sometimes the icons remain visible.

After the first incident with sudden down shifting of my transmission, i took my truck in to my local ford dealership. i was informed that a new programming fix was available for the active recall. the "fix" was completed, and now about 3 weeks later the truck continues to downshift suddenly. not only sudden downshifting, but during acceleration the transmission seems to struggle shifting out of first gear. my truck only has about 57k miles.
Was driving 2013 ford f150 fx4 with ecoboost engine about 60 miles per hour when truck suddenly shifted into 1st gear and caused truck to rev rpm's and rapidly and unexpectedly to decrease speed due to shifting to first gear almost causing an accident on a city street. after the speed decrease, unable to get car into higher gear and drove at very low speeds to exit road. turned car off and on and it not help. after about 5 minutes, car was able to drive but experienced the issue several more times driving to mechanic. another family member experienced the same issue the day before, but did not realize the truck was shifting into 1st gear. took truck to mechanic and ran diagnostics for $100 fee and was told me to take to dealership for a known issue. at the dealership, a "fix" was implemented, but the fix caused another issue and when the air conditioning started, the whole dash vibrates and make loud noises. dealership still has truck trying to figure out issue of loud noise when turning on ac. did not have issue with vibrating until the "fix" was issued. nor did the mechanic notice the issue with the ac when it was taken in for a diagnostic before taking to dealership.
While cruising down the highway this past weekend at 75 mph the truck suddenly went down into 3rd gear, then down to first and went into a stall mode. i pressed down on the accelerator and received no response. the rpm gauge went up to almost 5000. i then placed the transmission in neutral and then back to drive, whereupon the vehicle finally went back to normal and in 6th gear!
When pulling off of a residential street onto a city street the evening of oct 1, 2019 (speed limit 45 mph) my truck got stuck in 1st gear. with traffic around me, i attempted to shift into 3rd 2nd and 1st, but no change. i went back to drive and still no change. then a wrench showed up next to the odometer and the odometer went to - - - - - and speedometer went to 0, rpm still worked. i pulled off the road and turned off truck and restarted and all was fine. this happened to me a couple of days before, but when i shifted to 3rd, it started working again. i had the transmission related reprogram recall completed on 23 sept. both shifting events occurred after the reprogram. this could be a serious safety concern if it happens at a busy time. fortunately traffic was light when it happened to me both times. there doesn't seem to be a mechanical problem because turning the engine off and immediately turning on corrected the problem both times. it could be coincidental that this is happening after the reprogram, but i wanted to report because of the number of other people experiencing the same problems. it seems very similar to the descriptions from some people regarding the lead frame issue reported on the 2012 model.
Upon trying to pass or accelerate my truck ,it loss power and boggle down check engine lights are on. leaving my house three blocks away from my distanation
While driving about 45 mph on a city road the truck suddenly downshifted into either 1st or 2nd gear. this caused a sudden slow down and loss of power while in traffic. the powertrain warning indicator light flashed and my truck went into limp mode for the remainder of the ride home. after parking my truck and re starting the vehicle, no warning indicators are visible, check engine light is not on and the truck seems to be operating normal. i contacted ford customer service and they said my truck was under the recall, but no fix was currently available. ford customer service then told me to take my truck to a dealership and they would tell me if it was safe to continue to drive. quick recap: the truck downshifted, sudden slow down, recall states this may cause loss of control of vehicle, ford says no fix available at this time, ford also says take it to a dealership even though they admit the dealership cant fix it. ford also refused to provide documentation stating the vehicle was or was not safe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. while driving 10 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the contact heard a loud, abnormal noise when trying to accelerate more than 10 mph. the contact also stated that the power train fault warning indicator was illuminated and the transmission temperature was between 180 to 190 degrees. also, on another occasion, the vehicle began to hesitate and turned off while driving. the vehicle was unable to be driven. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). the failure mileage was 102,000.
While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". i was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. the engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. it was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. the check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. the truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.
1. engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed.. 2. powertrain, transmission - received a recall 19v-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. took the f150 to gateway ford dealership for the update. the next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter eradicable the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, i shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. this has happened again, not sure of dates. as i was traveling out of south dakota i contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another ford dealership and they would fix it. took it to auto nation ford in corpus christi, tx. they wouldn't fix it . they said the update wad already done. the pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. in addition the drivers seat is wearing out. it should rear better than that. the pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. one more issue. the positive battery post continually corrodes. i've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. please have someone address these issues on my f150. i think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv. thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Since purchased new the engine will intermittently completely shut down especially during damp weather. it has spent weeks at different dealerships yet the problem persists. the engine will sputter and kill taking with it the power steering, brakes, and lights. it is still an issue today. the other problem that is really concerning is the automatic transmission will suddenly shift itself into first gear at highway speeds and send rpms racing for no reason. i was told by my dealership v&h in marshfield that they 'reprogrammed' the transmission but that still happens from time to time. all of these things happened mainly at highway speeds with the engine being most common during wet weather. it happens rather frequently with the last episode being on 8/12/19
On 10 aug 2019 i took my ford in for transmission recall, reprogramming to prevent uncontrolled downshifting. i had never had had any problems with downshifting prior to this date. once recall was done within a week my truck drastically downshifted twice before taking it back to the dealer who performed the recall. they said there was no problem with my truck and told me my wheels locking was not a sign of downshifting. now i continue to have downshifting issues and also am throwing a p0720 code. i just know that the downshifting broke the leadframe and i looking at a huge bill. now vehicle goes into limp mode where i have to stop and restart my car to get speedometer to show.

I was driving in town and had to brake hard (not enough to screech the tires) due to the car in front of me. when i tried to accelerate again the truck sort of lagged, took a second to begin accelerating. things seemed ok for a minute so i continued on my way. suddenly the rpm needle began to go all over the dial and the wrench light came on. i decided to head back to town since the truck felt strange. as i was driving on a major road (under speed to the side with my flashers on), all of a sudden the truck just stopped accelerating. the engine was still running but i just wasnt going anywhere. i was able to coast to a safe stop. also i started to smell something like a burning smell so i pulled over, turned the truck off, and called for a tow.

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. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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.
