After receiving recall 19s07-19v-075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. my vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3.7 flex fuel. i was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. the cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. the problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model. never off-roaded . not a work truck. never even towed anything. since that downhill cruise control problem occurred, now i have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . vehicle has never overheated. low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?

The service advancetrac light comes on regularly while trying the steering wheel at low speeds. it used to not be as common, but has gotten worse i. the past 6 months. today i tried slowing down while making a right turn and the steering g locked up on me mid-turn. based on the same diagnostics as hundreds of others with this problem, it's indicated that the entire steering rack will need replaced. ford knows about this problem with not just the 2011 models, but with the 2012 and 2013 models as well.

After completing a required recall, my truck speedometer and odometer 'zero'd' out while in motion. this occurred multiple times, most recently while on the freeway. when it occurred on the freeway, the back wheels felt like they locked up. i pulled to the side of the road to check for flat tires, as that was my first thought. all tires check out ok. i turned the vehicle off and turned it back on. this caused the speedometer and odometer to return to normal functionality. i returned the vehicle to the dealership as i thought that the new update may not have been successful. the dealership advised that the software update process was successful and could not be redone. i read a couple of internet blogs of where other owners had the same type of issue. if the update caused other faulty parts to be exposed, i understand. however, the vehicle should not lock its tires while in motion, especially at freeway speeds as this is a serious safety issue. the picture that is attached is when the issue first occurred. the same indicators occurred the second time, ...
On wednesday, march 13, 2019, i was traveling in my 2011 ford f150 vin#(xxxx) on the highway. during this time, i was traveling at approximately 65-70mph. about 1 minute after getting onto the highway, i felt a large knock in the transmission, and subsequently the vehicle downshifted from 6th gear into 1st gear, on its own, without warning! this action caused the rear tires to lock up, and the truck temporarily skid out of control, and drop speed to approximately 35-40 mph in the middle lane on the highway. thankfully, i was able to retain control of the vehicle, and there was not anyone near me, and i was able to avoid a serious crash. also, thankfully, i was on my way to work, and i luckily did not have my 5-year-old or 2-year-old in the vehicle with me. i immediately pulled to the side of the road, to compose myself, and re-evaluate the situation at hand. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Regarding safety recall notice19s07, i called the dealership and they told me that they do not have the software to fix this until sometime in may, to call back at the beginning of may. how can i make ford resposible if something happens to me in the meantime? thanks!
My check engine light came on, code scanned was p0016. the code scanner states it's an issue with the timing chain loosening over time. the truck has a very prominent rattle sound for about 2-3 seconds upon an initial start up in the cold weather. the other day i went to pass someone, and lost power in the engine and my truck would not accelerate past the car. ford is aware of the issue, as people all over the country and canada are having the same issue with 2011-2012 ford f150 with the ecoboost engine. to me this seems like an obvious safety issue that ford should take care of. seems like an engineering flaw to me. the timing chain coming loose, and engine rattling like it's coming apart has to be causing damage as time goes on. the problem i had while trying to pass the car was on a lane 55mph road.

My f150 transmission started shifting from 3rd to 1st in january 2019 on a highway by my house. this happened a couple of times and i took to a transmission shop. replaced the transmission and two weeks later i got the recall notice from ford 19s07 in february. ford said that if i took to a ford dealer, they could help, but i didn't because i was not under warranty. i called a ford dealer and in may they still do not have the software to fix. i would have not been able to use my truck since february. i feel that i'm stuck in the middle. what would ford have done if i took to a ford dealer in january?
