WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 F-150 I RECEIVED A POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD COMPUTER AND THE STEERING WENT OUT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO SWERVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE STEERING WENT OUT AND I HAD TO MUSCLE THE WHEEL TO TURN THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE WRENCH ICON AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP WERE ILLUMINATED.

I AM THE THIRD OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH AROUND 114,000 MILES. WITHIN A WEEK AND A HALF, THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING WHILE DRIVING/ENGINE RUNNING. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED. DUE TO THE FACT WE DO NOT KNOW PREVIOUS OWNER(S), UNSURE IF IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE OR A MANUFACTURER ISSUES. MECHANIC COULD NOT BE DEFINITIVE.

LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRUCK SHUTS DOWN, LOW OIL PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACED BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED BY THE SWITCH. (THIS IS ON THE NON-RAIN SENSING MODEL). THEY SEEM TO BE STUCK ON THE LOWEST INTERMITTENT SETTING. I'VE COME ACROSS FORUMS ONLINE THAT STATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH NEEDING REPLACED. T

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE STOPPED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OF THE ROAD. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAD BLOWN AND MELTED THE FUSE BLOCK WHERE THE FUSE IS INSERTED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AT FORD FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO MOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO A DIFFERENT BLOCK WITHIN THE FUSE PANEL AND INSTALL A FUSE BLOCK THAT WILL HANDLE THE REQUIRED AMPERAGE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL BY FORD BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE. LOSING COMPLETE POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE URGENTLY ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG RT. 837 HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK, GOING ABOUT 45 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF THE GAUGES ON MY DASH WENT BLANK AND MY SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. THEN A BIG ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DASH. THE TRUCK DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING REAR ENDED. I ENDED UP MAKING IT TO WORK, WHICH WAS ABOUT 3 MINUTES AWAY, IN FIRST GEAR. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE ALL OF THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AGAIN. I MADE IT HOME FINE THAT DAY AND AN ADVANCED AUTO SCAN OF THE VEHICLE BROUGHT UP NO CODES. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR ON RT. 30 HIGHWAY AND I HAD A SCAN TOOL I HAD BOUGHT WITH ME. I GOT 2 CODES, (P0720, P0722) BOTH RELATING TO THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT.
