2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

. The APIM Module is not working. It is available for inspection upon request. . I was told by the dealer that this electrical issue could affect other components in the vehicle. . Yes - currently the radio is not working. . Component has not been inspected other than the Ford Dealer. . No symptoms prior to the failure. Radio has been inoperable since approximately July 2021.

While driving down the road the vehicle shifts down to 1st gear. Lights on dashboard go out briefly. This causes big safety issue when i am doing 70 miles an hour on the highway with cars behind me. Ford has a Customer Satisfaction program out on this issue. (16N02) But they put a limit on the work of 10 years or 150,000 miles. So I have to pay now because we bought this used and the previous owner never brought it in. the vehicle now has 157,000 miles on it. This is not listed as a safety recall and i believe it should as it poses a huge safety issue on the roads as I am driving.

I just recently had the recall for transmission reprograming completed. 3 weeks later, the transmission dropped to 1st gear while driving. No indicator lights illuminated on the dash. A sudden downshift could cause the loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. Any vehicle following me could have collided with me. Upon researching the issue, I found this is a common problem with this vehicle. The problem has not been reported to a dealer or service center. No indicator lights illuminated on the dash. After turning the truck off and restarting, the transmission would not shift beyond 1st gear. While applying steady/consistent pressure to the gas pedal, the engine would rev/surge intermittently.

According to the dealership service center, the exhaust manifolds are the reason the turbochargers have failed. The exhaust manifolds are not covered by warranty, so they are declining to repair the turbochargers. I really like this truck, but I"m very disappointed with the warranty company. I also think it's shameful will go cheap and not fix it. Ford seems to do that from time to time.
