2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

While driving at any speed, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifts into first gear causing a risk of losing control or crashing. This incident has occurred 3 times in the last week and has all the same symptoms related to Ford Recall # 19N01 & 19S19.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH with the defroster engaged, the contact heard a loud popping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact noticed that the rear passenger's side window had shattered. The contact was able to continue driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.

It appears the master cylinder is leaking into the large black vacuum piece. Parked and went into shop in Safeway. Then came out and loaded kids, wife and groceries. Started truck, started to back out of spot, then tried to stop and no brakes, low brake fluid then comes up. I threw it into park and tried to think what is going on. Check the brake fluid and it is empty. Then go to gas station and add 2.5 pints. Start truck and wife pulls brakes and gets back to working, but notice the brake fluid is decreasing from resivior but seemed to stop. I topped it off and started to drive because brakes were working. After driving about 10 blockes, the low brake fluid alarm comes up again and I pull over and no brakes. Finally investigate and still no leaks anywhere. Finally look up online and find this is a common problem and you have recalled 2014 through 2017, but not 2012 or 2013, but seems to be a problem with this year as well.

Wipers will not turn off, they will continue to wipe while driving for days even in the off position, had to pull the fuse in order to stop the intermittent wipe, when it rains i have to re install the fuse. After months of dealing with this problem I drilled a hole in the dash, mounted a switch and ran a wire to the fuse box so I didn't have to open the hood just to get the morning doo off, the switch works great.

The contact owns a 2012 F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted and the speedometer went to zero. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Vehicle lost its power in the power steering system, and you lose all control over the vehicle and you can't move left or right Making it very dangerous for me while it occurred, since I was unable to move the car towards any direction.

275/60/20 tire size. Driving home the other night started noticing my truck felt wobbly. Thought it was just the road until the truck started violently shaking at around 60mph. VIOLENTLY shaking. Pulled off immediately and looked at the front, sides, rear end, etc. Checked the tires, rear passenger side was stolen in 1 spot, and around that spot in a very isolated area the tire was completely bald and had a large lump in it. Other 3 tires seem ok right now. Contacted manufacturer who directed me to fill out a form on their website to "try for a replacement.". Can't find receipts from purchase so that's no good. Took to local mechanic/tire shop who stated that the "tread separated from the tire.". Separation is approximately 1 foot long and 2/3 of the tire width. Bald spot runs along this lump/separation.

On 22MAY2022 I started my vehicle and started pulling out of a parking space when I lost braking power. The failure resembled a similar issue I had in the past when the electronic vacuum pump failed and the brake pedal felt hard and required significant additional effort to bring the vehicle to a stop. The electronic vacuum pump and fuse has been replaced by the dealership previously. The unexpected brake failure caused me to roll farther than I wanted and hit the rock on my passenger side, rear door, causing minor body damage. Ford Customer Service said Customer Satisfaction Program 15N05 is a one time replacement and this vehicle is no longer eligible for the program since it has already been serviced. Additionally, they said any repair associated with this event is limited to 15N05 so body damage would not ne covered.

Vehicle shifts from a high gear to a low gear. While driving 60 miles an hour on the expressway my F150 went from six gear to first gear with no warning locking my rear wheels causing my speed to drastically or abruptly be lower almost causing several other vehicles to crash into the back of my pick up. Vehicle stays on gear sometimes first third or fifth gear with no warning switching back-and-forth. While making a stop at 0 mph vehicle stays at a high gear for example he could stay at third gear or fifth gear so they takeoff will be in third or fifth gear not in first gear . Also losing speedometer reading. This has happened multiple times while driving at low speed or high speed. I am concerned that this could cause accidents in the roads. Ford motor company corporate advised me that is an auto pocket fix sensor customer satisfaction program has expired for my vehicle. I never received notification of this issue while on my truck was within warranty. Ford Motor Company stated that they extended their coverage until 10,000 miles or 150,000 miles whichever comes first. My vehicle has 165,000 miles and he’s 10 years old. I don’t believe this is a normal Tear and water failure. This is a manufactures defective part that has happened in thousands of vehicles is not an isolated incident.
