2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

The vacuum pump recall was replaced in 2016 and it’s bad again. I have the emissions warranty with ford I am 6 owner the other 5 owners were resale so I get the one time lifetime emission warranty. the truck is doing all kinds of crazy stuff

I have a 2011 Ford F150 that I bought brand new from Capitol Ford Wilmington NC. This truck had a recall in 2020 that involved violent downshifting of transmission while at highway speeds. I took it for recall servicing by Capitol Ford Wilmington NC. I trusted them to repair this vehicle. They simply reprogrammed the LEAD FRAME inside the transmission. They said that would take care of the problem. See attached service ticket. I have only driven this vehicle in my local area as it only has 97k original miles on it. Recently I tried to drive it on a trip at highway speeds. Suddenly without warning the transmission shifted into low gear at highway speed with engine light coming on. We narrowly averted being killed. This vehicle has shifted in an odd manner for a long time. I just thought it was Fords design that did this. I took it to my local shop they immediately diagnosed the transmission LEAD FRAME as faulty. Ford should have replaced this when they had it in 2020. They said they didn't because the engine light wasn't on. Well, it's not on now either. I think this has been a problem inside the transmission for a long time. And Ford knew it. The Ford reps I contacted told me that I'm out of the extended recall period of 10 years for this problem. They also claim I was sent further recall requests for this in 2021. I received NO SUCH RECALL REQUESTS. They should have fixed this when they had it for the recall in 2020 well within the extended warranty recall period. Now not only did it try to kill us but I'm stuck fixing something Ford should have corrected. Please help us. Very disingenuous on Fords Part.

Fuel Pump Fuse - 27 melted. Is a common problem according to Internet forums on 2010-2014 models.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted, and vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 85,000.

My truck transmission suddenly shifted down to first gear and would not shift back out. fortunately I was travelling only about 30 mph. Eventually it shifted into 3rd gear and locked into "limp mode". Factory told me they will not honor their recall on this since my truck is more than 10 years old. This is a serious safety issue especially if travelling above 60 mph and in heavy traffic. Consumers need better safety responsibility from Ford on these serious safety design flaws.

This vehicle has an automatic transmission. It will not shift out of first gear in the drive setting and the speedometer registers 0 mph when moving in first gear. If I shift to the manual setting, I can shift up. I did not notice if the speedometer registered my speed at that point.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the transmission shifted unintendedly. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and restarted. The vehicle was diagnosed that the lead frame rail or valve body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,000.

Lead frame and output speed sensor are going out, if not out already. It’s ridiculous.
