2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

2 RECALLS EXIST THROUGH FORD: 19N01 AND 19S07. BOUGHT TRUCK WITH 163,760 MILES ON OCTOBER 12, 2020 WITH NO MENTION OF RECALL. RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED IN JANUARY AND VERY SHORTLY BEGAN DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY!!! ALMOST CAUSED WRECK. IN ORDER TO GET HOME, HAD TO DRIVE 25MPH AND SLOWER ON 55MPH ON SAME HIGHWAY. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND MADE APPOINTMENT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. RECALL 19S07 WAS REPAIRED. THEY DENIED AND REFUSED TO HONOR SAFETY RECALL ON 19N01. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $821 AS VEHICLE WAS BEYOND 150,000 MILES. IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLE IN OPERATIONAL ORDER, IT HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE DOWNSHIFTING IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD; THE MILEAGE SHOULD NOT EFFECT A SAFETY HAZARD ON ANY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD. DATE LISTED "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" IS THE DAY VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP AT DEALERSHIP.

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM FIRST GEAR. THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP BUT TRANSMISSION WON'T CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET IT GOING AGAIN AND I AM NOT GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE. I WILL ALSO DOWN SHIFT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR GET STUCK IN ONE GEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT GEAR I AM ON. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY THE LAST TIME WAS ON FEBRUARY 05, 2021.

TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST AND PASSENGER SIDE GLASS OF 3 PIECE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. NOT MOVING AT 545 IN THE MORNING AND NOBODY AROUND.

SAME AS RECALL # 19S07, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 40-45 MPH SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST CAUSING VEHICLE TO SQUEAK AND JERK THINKING I WAS IN A REAR END COLLISION,STOPPING TRAFFIC,GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE AND CONFRONTING DRIVER TO THE REAR.FORD SAID WRONG VIN AND CHARGED $150 FOR UPDATE.

AFTER TAPPING THE FLOOR ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE AND STAYED THERE. EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE ENGINE REMAINED AT 7000 RPM. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS -2F. VEHICLE HAD BEEN IDLING FOR 7 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE EVENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO PARK AT 10 MPH. ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AND BUILDING BUT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER RUNNING AT FULL THROTTLE IN PARK FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WASH SPRAY STOPPED WORKING A FEW DAYS EARLIER.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AS A RESULT OF USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

AFTER CRANKING THE VEHICLE, I PUT IN IN REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DID NOT WANT TO BACK UP. FEARING THAT I WOULD DAMAGE THE VEHICLE I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS PULLING A TROUBLE CODE P0705 FOR THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS (12C23) FOR FORD F150'S FOR CERTAIN 2011 THROUGH 2013 MODELS. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE 4 MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL YEARS. MY FORD WAS MADE IN 4/11. THE RECALL STARTED FOR 8/11 YEAR VEHICLES. MY TRUCK IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND HAS THE SAME ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED IN THE RECALL. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL TO EXCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER THAT COST ME $907.36. THE TOW BILL WAS $140.00. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FROM FORD FOR ALL THIS.

I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ON BUTLER ROAD 5 PM IT DOING 30 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BIG BANG SO I STOP THE TRUCK GOT AND LOOKED TO TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT I SAW NOTHING THEN I LOOK UP AT THE BACK GLASS I SAW THE RIGHT REAR GLASS WAS SHATTERED IT WAS ABOUT 42 DREGS OUT SIDE I NO DEFROSTED ON EITHER
