2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

Vehicle shifts into 1st gear while truck is moving and will not shift tkk ok any other gears. Known issue at dealership, but says it’s out of warranty. If less than 10 years or 150000 miles, they had a recall providing parts and labor. If a vehicle going 60 mph downshifted into 1st gear, it’s a safety issue and in my opinion should not have a time/mileage limitations. Thank you

I own a 2011 Ford f-150 4x4. The VIN I entered should provide any further information you need. This vehicle is equipped with electronic power assist steering. This vehicle has experienced stiff return of steering in left turns at approximately 45-50MPH. This vehicle has about 156,00 miles on it. This steering difficulty has existed for 4-5 years that I have owned the vehicle. Recently, the steering stared to make loud screeching noises in both left and right turns. This was accompanied by stiff steering as if the power assist was not functional. The power assist failed completely after a weekend vacation. I had to have the steering replaced at a cost of $2552.12. I have never had the power steering fail on any other vehicle I have owned, no matter what the mileage. I have read that many other owners of this year and make have experienced the same problem. Good thing I was strong enough to control the vehicle without the power assist. This could have been very serious problem!

Check engine light came on, truck tried to downshift running 70 mph. OBD reader says transmission range sensor a. This could have caused me to wreck or crash into someone else. As far as I know, it has never been inspected, called a local ford dealership and they say it’s not a recall.
