MY DEALER AND FORD HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE ORIGINAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM RULES FOR 19N01, AND BECAUSE OF A TECHNICALITY AND FORDS NEW EXTRA STRICT RULES, I AM BEING ASKED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS LEFT ON THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. MY VIN WAS RECALLED FOR UNINTENDED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH HAS CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. 19N01 IS THE NHTSA NUMBER. THE ORIGINAL RECALL I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL SAID THAT THE PROGRAMMING WOULD BE REDONE FIRST (19S07) AND I DID THAT IN LATE 2019. ON FEBRUARY 8TH I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT EVENT WHILE IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN, 'WRENCH LIGHT' ON MY DASH, AS WELL AS ZERO SPEEDOMETER, AND WAS IN LIMP MODE. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS IN THE RECALL. THANKFULLY MYSELF AND MY TRUCK WERE ON INJURED. I TOOK MY FORD F150 TO MY INDEPENDENT FORD TRUCK MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS, HE FOUND DTC P0722. A PDF OF HIS WORK TICKET IS ATTACHED. HE DIRECTED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN DALLAS TO RECEIVE THE RECALL AND FREE REPAIR UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I TOOK MY FORD F150 INTO PLANET FORD IN DALLAS TEXAS, AND THEY SAID THAT FORD CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS, THEY NOW REQUIRES THAT THE CODE BE PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM, BE PRINTED OUT, FOR EVIDENCE TO HAVE THE RECALL COVERED. THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT MY MECHANICS EVIDENCE OF THE CODE. WHEN THEY CHECKED MY F150, THEY CLAIMED THE CODE WAS NO LONGER IN THE SYSTEM THEREFORE THEY COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I TOLD THEM MY FORD TRUCK MECHANIC SAW THE CODE, THEY ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH HIM AND HIS INDEPENDENT SHOP, AND THEY SAID IT DIDN'T MATTER, FORD CHANGED THE RULES ON THEM. TEXT AND STORY CONTINUED IN ATTACHED PDF

WHILE TRUCK IS RUNNING IT SUDDENLY JOLTS AN DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR. THEN JOLTS AGAIN INTO GEAR. IT TAKES A WHILE SOMETIMES FOR IT TO GET BACK IN GEAR AND RUNNING. DOES IT RANDOMLY BUT MORE AND MORE OFTEN. MECHANIC SERVICED TRANSMISSION SAID IT WAS FINE. FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE

ON APRIL 3 ,2015 I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN I WENT TO TURN LEFT I LOST ALL STEERING AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HOFFMAN FORD WHEN ON 4/5/2021 THEY DID A TEST. I WAS CONTACTED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE UPDATE AND WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY TOLD ME SORRY THERE IS NO RECALL AND BASICALLY NOTHING WAS GOING TO BE DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN PULLING MY CAMPER. I CAN UNDERSTAND A A PART GOING BAD BUT AN UPDATE.. SO NOW WE ARE CHARGING FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES AND RISKING LIVES OF OTHERS.

HAD A RECALL ON MY 2011 F150 . I TOOK IT AND GOT IT FIX FOR THE 12C23 A/T RANGE SENSOR AND ITS STILL DOING THAT SAME THINGS , IT GOES INTO REVERSE BUT WANT IMMEDIATE ON THE DASH OF MY F150 AND THIS CONDITION INCREASES THE RICK OF A CRASH OR SOMEONE BEING HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK ISN'T SIGNALING IT'S IN REVERSE . SO THE TIME I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND WHEN I GET IN REVERSE AND BACK OUT , I HAVE TO PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND CUT TO REST IT BECAUSE IF NOT THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS . I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME 2800.00 FOR LEAD FRAME AND CPM

FOR NO REASON BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NO IMPACT. 800 TO REPLACE. THIS IS AWEFULL. GLASS EVERYWHERE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
