On average, the 2013 Ford F-150 starts to “feel” problems with the VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL and its various aspects after 55 579 miles.

Recently reported VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL problems on 2013 Ford F-150

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.

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.

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.

Engine looses all power yet is still running very poorly. engine sputters and will not respond to throttle. dashboard display shows a wrench. problem occurs without any warning. engine will usually restart after approximately 30 seconds and run normaly until next failure. problem may occur multiple times in a day. my auto diagnostic tool gives p2111 code which indicates a throttle body problem. problem has occured when stopped or moving at any speed. check engine light may or may not come on ( not consistent). i contacted ford motor co. customer service department concerning this issue after reading about a "customer satisfaction program" 13n03 relating to this issue in which ford offers to replace the faulty part at no charge as an extended warranty in lieu of a factory recall according to the nhtsa. i was told that they (ford) may not help with this issue. i was told they would have to review my complaint and would get back to me.

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

Truck went into limp mode on me and lost power when wrench light came on. almost had me cause an accident because of speed dropped instantly.

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.

When entering onto the interstate i felt the truck was not getting up to speed. i then noticed on my dashboard a big wrench. i felt my truck continue to not gain speed even though i was stepping on the gas.the screen then went black and and when the dashboard came back on i had nothing showing. no mph ,fuel economy, etc and i was stuck in 5th gear.i could not increase speed but only decrease if i stepped on the break.i don't know how fast i was going but it was not fast at all since everyone was passing me(maybe 40 mph).i also noticed my airbag light was on. i had to pull over on the interstate and restart my truck.once i did that everything came back on and worked for the rest of the ride. i was recently part of a ford recall but had that fixed.i had the automatic downshifting happen to me 3 times before the first recall was in place. i just got a letter last week that they need to redo the recall, i had the downshifting happen to me and this was not it. this is a entirely different safety issue ...

Struggling gear to gear doing acceleration and spontaneously downshifting periodically on its own. i have participated in two recalls dealing with the unexpected downshifting but no change to the issue i am still having the same problems the last recall was 7/12/2019. it seems like to use recalls are not fixing the issue what can i do? i will kindly appreciate some type of feedback to steer me in the right direction for i am locked into financial responsibilities with this vehicle at the same time i fear for my safety and others around me?

1. while driving at highway speeds (around 70 mph) the vehicle suddenly down-shifted into 2nd gear. the rear tires briefly locked up, but control of the vehicle was managed. 2. while driving, both in town and on the highway, the vehicle would downshift from 6th gear to 5th. the vehicle would then not shift below 3rd gear when brought to a stop. turning the vehicle off and on again would reset the problem. the maintenance light and airbag light illuminated. the speedometer went to 0. the odometer and other digital readings in the center cluster on the dash showed all dashes. after several of these events, the check engine light also illuminated. 3. after one of the events described in 2 above, the vehicle was stopped, shifted into reverse, and then returned to drive. the vehicle would not move and acted as though it was in neutral. shutting the vehicle off and on again corrected the problem. the local ford dealership is aware of the problem and has scheduled an appointment for a diagnosis. ford safety recall notice 19s07 was performed in march 2019. ford safety recall notice 19s19 was performed in july 2019, ...

My 2013 ford unexpectedly downshift into first gear while the vehicle was in motion. i was traveling 40-45 mph. no accident or injuries. this also happened last yea, i was unaware of a recall or issue. i am worried about transmission damage, the current recall doesn't cover transmission service or inspection if you experiences this downshift. until the recall software is resolved i will not drive my truck on the highway or high speeds as i'm worried it will happen again.

I received my ford recall notice on the need to reprogram power train module on or about april 1st 2019. my first instance of my 2013 f150 stx supercab, going into sudden downshift mode and then limp mode (blue wrench signal) occurred around april 12, 2019. i was driving at about 30 miles an hour on a city street when my truck when the truck downshifted by itself and the blue wrench light appeared. my truck went into limp mode and i was unable to drive. after pulling over to the side of the street, i turned off my truck, waited a few minutes and then the issue resolved itself. i took my vehicle into the ford dealership on april 18, 2019 where recall 19s07 6r80 (reprogram power train module) work was completed. on may 17, 2019, while driving about 30 miles an hour on a city street (without notice or cause) my truck again went into downshift mode, limp mode and the blue wrench light came on. same as the first instance, i pulled over to the side of the street, turned ...

The truck will sometimes just refuse to go and will jump a lot and other times all of a sudden the check engine light will come and the speedometer will stop working and this can make the truck jump a lot. had truck put on computer and it comes up with speed sensor code.
