2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

DRIVING HOME I STARTED TO HEAR AND FEEL THIS NOISE ON MY ENGINE LIKE A CLICKING/GROUNTING SOUND. I COULD HEAR IT MORE WHEN MAKING TURNES AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN. NEXT DAY I GOT ON MY TRUCK AND WHEN IN REVERSE MY TRUCK WOULD'T LET ME BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE LOCKED. AND CAN ONLY GO FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO IN REVERSE, TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE STARTER INTERLOCK, AND TRANSMISSION BRAKING EFFECT. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS) THAT WAS CALIBRATED OUT OF SPECIFICATION FOR REVERSE GEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DOWNSHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTOSAVER FORD (11125 NY-22, COMSTOCK, NY 12821) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED OUT OF POCKET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE SAME DEALER AND WAS NOTIFIED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH THE CONTACT LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE RR TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE RR BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE RF TURN SIGNAL FLASHES FAST. THE RF RUNNING LIGHT DOES NOT STAY LIT WHEN USING THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED ALL BULBS, THAT ARE FINE, FUSES FINE. I SHOULD NOTE, TILL IT IS FIXED I CAN'T GET IT INSPECTED, AND THEREFORE CAN'T GET IT REGISTERED.

I I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO FORD OF DALTON, GEORGIA BECAUSE THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE PCM AND TRANSMISION THAT WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST ME $140 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR, THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS CONTRADICTS WHAT THE RECALL STATES. I SHOULDNT BE CHARGED $140 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE A RECALL..THIS IS ON A 2011 FORD F-150

I SEEN THERE IS A RECALL ON COOPER TIRES. THE COOPER TIRES I HAVE ON MY TRUCK IS NOT ON THE LIST BUT, ON 02/17/2021 ONE OF MY FRONT TIRES DID WHAT THEY CLAIM THE TIRES ON RECALL DO. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY LOW TIRE LIGHT COME ON AND INSTANTLY MY TIRE WENT FLAT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UN-REPAIRABLE. I HAD REPLACE THAT TIRE AND ALSO I REPLACED THE OTHER SIDE SO BOTH WOULD HAVE THE SAME TRADE WEAR.

I AM SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR STREET SIGN MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD. THEN IT STARTED PUTTING WHEN I DROVE AND KEPT GETTING WORSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR A GOOD MINUTE. EVERYTIME IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY FOUND MINOR STUFF THAT NEEDED FIXED BUT IT WAS NONE OF THOES THAT WAS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. SO THEN I LOOKED FOR RECALLS, AND I HAD THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK DONE AND THEN MY TRUCK STARTED KNOCKING. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK.

TRANSMISSION WOULD BEGIN TO MAKE THE VEHICLE, ENGINE WOULD REV UP, TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT UNEXPECTEDLY. AFTER VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF, WHEN IT WAS CRANKED BACK UP, IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE FROM PARK.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER GO TO ZERO. HAVE TO STOP TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS CLEARS THE ERROR SOMETIMES IT TAKES ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS. WE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. FORD TOLD US THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND OUR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ON THE ROAD WHILE WE ARE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THE CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE SERVICE (EPAS) . THE STEERING MODULE SEEMS TO NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WELL, MAKING IT HARD TO TURN OR IT BEGINS TO LOCK. THE RACK AND PINNON SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE CAUSING THIS AND CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SINCE IF GOING ON SPEEDS OF 45MPH+ THE CAR STEERING BECOMES RIGID AND DOES NOT HAVE A BALANCE BETWEEN A NUDGE TO THE LEFT OR A HARD LEFT. IT MAKES THAT HARD LEFT WITHOUT ANY WARNING.
