2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that on two separate occasions while driving at various speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. On one occasion, the contact stated that the transmission warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that during both failures the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Vehicle shifted into 1st gear on its own will driving which almost caused my son to wreck, took the vehicle to the Ford dealership as we could not get it back out of 1st gear. It had to be towed to the dealership to have repairs made which are the same repairs that are listed under a recall just issued on several 2014 F150 truck. We had to pay for these repairs totaling $1129.92 back on January 12, 2024. I contacted the dealership about this and they said we would not be refunded because our truck is not under the recall however there was a recall for 2011 F150 trucks for this same issue back in 2016 which we were not a part of also. I feel that this needs to be looked at a little more closely and the recall be expanded further to more later model trucks. My son could have been seriously injured or killed for a problem that could have been fixed back in 2016. I have tried to attach copy of repair receipt from dealership but it would not allow me to upload it

The truck is not shifting properly it fails to downshift or will downshift on its own. I have almost had an accident due to this happening and did the update on the recall but it hasn't helped.

Front driver's side seatbelt latch failed. Upon disassembling the latch assembly, it was found that a part of the mechanism broke off causing the latch to fail. The part appears to be cast metal, and it failed along a narrow portion of the mechanism. It seems that this part would be more robust.

My vehicle, a 2011 Ford F150 with a six cylinder engine and automatic transmission, recently began experiencing "UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTING INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE IN MOTION" AND HAS ALREADY CAUSED A LOSS OF CONTROL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. While I was able to avoid an accident, this is a serious safety issue. It is noted that NHTSA has recalled 1.3 million Ford F150 vehicles for the years 2011 - 2013. My particular VIN [XXX], was not included. How do I get a Recall letter to have my vehicle declared a recall and get it repaired. The vehicle is experiencing the same problem as those already recalled. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Was in 6th gear(on a 6speed transmission) and immediately my truck downshifted to 1st gear causing my back tires to lock up and almost crash into a median. This is due to a CSP that Ford no longer offers to fix because it "expired".
