2011 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY F150 ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS DROPPING GEARS SUDDENLY, IT SEEMS ITS GOING TO FIRST GEAR, ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO INTO REVERSE, WHEN I PUSH THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION DOES GO IN REVERSE, THE REVERSE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY F-150 AND THE BACKUP LAMP ON THE REAR OF MY F-150 DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 395 NEAR SUSANVILLE CA, ELECTRONIC STEERING CAUSED TRUCK STEERING TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED HEAD ON COLLISION. *TR

THE STEERING STICKS IN SPOTS, VERY JERKING WHEN TRYING TO STEER. ONCE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT, HAD WHEELS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND STEERING LOCKED UP, FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED. AGAIN CANNOT MAKE SMOOTH CORRECTIONS AND SLIGHT TURNS WITHOUT JERKING THE TRUCK DO TO STEERING MALFUNCTION. VERY DANGEROUS. AND OF COURSE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, AND TURNING. BELOW YOU WANT A SPECIFIC DATE, IS DOES THIS CONSTANTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE IT.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT JUMPS OR THROWS GEAR DOWN VERY LOAD LIKE IF IT WAS GOING TO STOP IN THE FREE WAY AND IT'S DOING IT EVERYDAY.*DT*JB

AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE SLIGHTEST BUMP MAKES THE STEERING HARD TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM SWERVING . THE HOTTER IT IS OUTSIDE THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS TO MANEUVER .

BACK IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2020), I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REPAIRS AND ALSO FOR THEM TO PERFORM RECALL #19V075. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS THEY DID NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS. AND UNTIL TODAY WHEN I LOOKED UP MY VIN, I HAD ASSUMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST DONE THE SAFETY RECALL. BUT THEY APPARENTLY NEGLECTED TO DO THAT TOO. WELL, LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY, MY TRUCK SEEMED TO DOWNSHIFT ABRUPTLY AND HAVE MINIMAL POWER AND VARIOUS LIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF ON THE DASH. THEN THIS MORNING, MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTRAL, FOLLOWED BY EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE. AGGRESSIVE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO MOVE A COUPLE OF FEET EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS SUBSEQUENT PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH FSA 19N01 THAT FORD HAS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. I SUPPOSE THAT IT IS UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW IF THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED. I WILL FIND OUT WEDNESDAY, AS I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY TRUCK BACK IN. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS, THEY FAILED TO PERFORM THE SAFETY RECALL UPDATE AS I REQUESTED. I AM LUCKY THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE DOWNSHIFTING PROBLEM WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS! I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS EVEN WORTHY OF A COMPLAINT, BUT I FIGURED THAT I SHOULD PASS THIS ALONG. THE DEALERSHIP IS VAN HORN FORD IN OCONOMOWOC, WI. *TR

THE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM POPS UP AND WILL EITHER SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN OR SHUT IT RIGHT OFF.. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO DO IT...I HAVE TO SHUT IT ALL DOWN AND TRY TO RESTART IT WILL SOMETIMES DRIVE FOR A SHORT TIME OR GO FOR DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR WHERE IT WILL ALSO GO MONTHS WITHOUT HAPPENING. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2011 F150 ECOBOOST IN USED CONDITION IN 2014. THE PRIMARY USE FOR MY TRUCK IS AROUND TOWN ERRANDS AND HAULING LIGHT LOADS. FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL, DURING ACCELERATION AT 45+MPH THE ENGINE LOSES IT'S POWER, SHUDDERS AND STALLS. ONCE THERE IS A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE, IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO REGAIN "NORMAL" DRIVING CONDITIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA ON THE PARKWAY, IN JULY AND WITH NO ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND AS I WAS ASCENDING A GRADE ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AND A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME, I GAVE THE TRUCK MORE THROTTLE AND IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY, A SUBTLE BACKFIRE, AND LOST POWER AND COULD NOT REGAIN THROTTLE RESPONSE. I QUICKLY MOVED THE TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND HAD LET THE TRUCK RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE, TOOK A FEW MINUTES, BEFORE ALMOST GETTING INTO A SERIOUS COLLISION WITH THE SEMI-TRUCK. OVER THE PAST YEARS I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THE ISSUE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND SCANNED THE TRUCK WITH NO ERROR CODES OR ISSUES, UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE MECHANIC SCANNED IT AND IT SHOWED MISFIRES ON #4 AND #6. HE REPLACED THE COIL AND PLUG HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE CURE, BUT WITH NO LUCK IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I'M RELUCTANT TO DROP ANOTHER $250.00 TO REPLACE THE REST OF THE COILS, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DO NOT HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME AND THE TRUCK IS PAID FOR, I AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENJOY MY F150 AND PLAN ON KEEPING IT UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF. I HAVE READ POST AFTER POST AND VIDEO'S THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE IS WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE THE COMPLAINT. I WANT THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND I HOPE FORD WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A LIFE IS TAKEN OVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK AND WON'T COME OUT OF 1ST OR SECOND GEAR. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER I STARTED IT. CODES P0720 AND P0722 CAME UP BOTH TIMES WHICH IS THE SPEED SENSOR PROBLEM. THERE IS OR WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE, MODEL AND I NEED IT FIXED PLEASE. THANK YOU.
