2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN LINK CAME APART SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015 AT 66,000 MILES MY WARRANTY PAID FOR IT. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. 2 TIME CHAIN LINKS FALL APART. FORD IS NOT PAYING FOR THIS BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS UP 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT IS NOT A PRE CERTIFIED TRUCK, MILES ARE 120,066 MILES. 2 TIMING CHAIN LINKS BREAK IN 4 YEARS???????? THE TECHNICIANS AT SANTA MARIA FORD SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. FORD IS DENYING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR!!!!!!!

MY 2012 FORD F150 HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 6R80. WHILE GOING 15-20 MPH THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 1ST CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SLIDE.THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS COMPLETED ALL THE KNOWN SERVICE BULLETINS WHICH INCLUDE A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A LEAD FRAME REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE ON SLICK ROADS.
