2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

APRIL 27, 2016 RECALL 16S19-MY FORD IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE APRIL RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS (WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET) SHIFTED FROM 5TH & 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. MY TRUCK HAS ALSO STAYED IN 5TH GEAR EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN PARK. I BEGAN CALLING FORD IN APRIL TO REPORT THESE ISSUES, BUT MY VIN# IS NOT IN THE RECALL BUT I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND REPORTED IT. I WANT FORD TO INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE SOME TRUCKS OUTSIDE THE SPECIFIC DATES THE RECALL INCLUDES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.A DISTRICT CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE GAVE ME HER NUMBER TO CALL HER, BUT AFTER I REPORTED THE LAST TIME MY TRUCK INVOLUNTARILY SHIFTED, I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. I TEND TO BELIEVE THEY ARE AWARE THERE ARE MORE TRUCKS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO TAKE ANY ACTION. HELP....

I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT JUNE 4, 2016 IN WHICH A CAR ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE RESULT WAS A MODERATE COLLISION. DUE TO THE COLLISION MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER (ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL) AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

F150 2012 IN TRAFFIC ENGINE DIES GOES INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE WHICH IS UNDER 5 MPH ENGINE WILL RESTART BUT YOU HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP PUT IN PARK AND START AND YOUR GOOD TO GO UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND IT WILL. NOT AT ALL SAFE DOES IT ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY DRIVING NO WARNING JUST DIES.HAD TO DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS BEFORE IT WAS DISCOVERED IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, VEHICLE IS DRIVEN A FEW FEET ON CTY STREETS AND UPSHIFTS INTO FIFTH GEAR FROM FIRST GEAR, SKIPPING OTHER GEARS. VEHICLE THEN WILL NOT DOWN SHIFT, EVEN AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE WILL STILL REMAIN IN FIFTH GEAR. WHEN ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WHEN IT'S IN FIFTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, AS WELL AS PUT IN PARK AND BACK IN DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE SO THE CAR COULD BECOME MOBILE AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALER WHO STATED THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH A SOLLONOID.

THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND BEGIN TO SHUDDER. COLD STARTS IT WILL SHUDDER AND RPM WILL BOUNCE FROM 400 TO 1100. WILL LOSE POWER IN TURNS AND WHILE STOPPED. DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES AND CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM.

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT ON HYW 59 WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SUDDENLY WENT SOFT AND DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I PROCEEDED TO A TRUCK SERVICE SHOP WHERE A MECHANIC DID A QUICK LOOK AND FOUND NO LEAKS, I THEN MADE AN APT AT A FORD DEALER IN CANADA WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER HAD AN INTERNAL FAULT AND WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 992.53 TO MYSELF.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3 TIMES AND MY TRUCK DROPPED SPEED TO WHAT FORD CALLS "LIMP HOME MODE" WHICH IS ROUGH IDLE. WHEN THE TRUCK IS RESTARTED, IT RUNS FINE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT MY THROTTLE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $388. THE TRUCK HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND OUT OF WARRANTY (NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN). THEY ALSO THEN TOLD ME I SHOULD DO A FUSE RELOCATION BECAUSE ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT ITS NOT A RECALL. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $750+ I GUESS I'LL ROLE THE DICE ON THE SECOND PART SINCE ITS NOT A TOTAL FAILURE YET.
