2013 FORD F-150 Complaints

Transmission downshift from 6 to 1 at high speed without warning. Loosing control of the vehicle at highway speed that easily could result in a crash with fatalities.... No inspections performed, manufacturer refused to fix/replace the defective parts due age and mileage.... not fair for a manufacturer defect that put a high accident risk that could result fatal to the driver or others. Unknown about warning; first time happened about a year ago.

bought that as used at low milage with good service history indicated with pcm twice made me believe to trust as reliability and regular check ups. carfax is not really honest, as well as I learned that powertrain itself has nothing to mechanism but actually programing meaning actual PCM itself has troubleshoots and not at its stability. It caused no speed on dash board sometimes even though got served but aftermath it gets more worse. I experienced collapsed in middle of high speed traffic to full stop. But The odd that MPG got great better than only during trouble times like first time ever seen over 15 MPG that reached between 16.4 to 18.7 for over a week. Now backward to 14 MPG. On the trouble occurances were R080 downshift to first gear notch caused by faulty outpost shift speed loss sensor. Also code of 19s 07 needs reprogram the powertrain control module has been common and I don't believe wiring is the issue thus the sensor is but reprogram itself is factor although it caused various issue like noise installing from park notch to drive notch, cannot increase or stay constant stead on speed, sometimes caused vibration that had no equality the pcm does not make correct specific of the fault. I checked with auto zone to do diagnosis code on mine was much unspecfic and inaccurate fact in which was not fact thus the manufacturer fails to program the correct troubleshoots. Pcm is very bad. I had to stay under 65 mph either stay at 60 mph sometimes and if i increase the truck has been feeling alike unstead and maybe could get collapsed for a weeks far

Faulty Molded Leadframe To my knowledge I was never notified of the known safety issues with this part and its recall/warranty (Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01). This is still an ongoing issue and just had to have my vehicle in for service that could of been avoided.

We recently started having issues with the transmission locking into a gear and not changing or downshifting. We received the Code: P0721 which refers to the transmission control module or output shaft sensor is having an issue.

Transmission shifts down to 2nd while traveling without warning. It was taken to local dealership but nothing found wrong at that time. It is available for inspection. The down shift was immediate and severe without warning, which was startling. We were traveling at regular speed when this occurred. It has been reported and was told there was no recalls, however, I now see recalls for F150s beginning year 2014. My truck is a 2013 but the recall for the 2014s is exactly what occurred with my 2013 F150.

When Driving my 2013 F-150 it will downshift form 6 gear to 4th or 3rd gear unexpectedly. It will then be stuck in 3rd or 4th gear until I restart the vehicle.

The contact stated that while at a stop, the vehicle failed to properly shift gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Subject: Safety Complaint – Transmission Lead Frame Failure (2013 Ford F-150) I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2013 Ford F-150 (VIN: [XXX] ), which has experienced a confirmed failure of the transmission lead frame connector (output speed sensor), a known defect previously acknowledged by Ford Motor Company. This vehicle has only 28,000 original miles and has been properly maintained. Despite the extremely low mileage, the transmission began exhibiting unsafe and unpredictable behavior, including harsh shifting and the risk of sudden downshifting while driving. A Ford dealership has diagnosed the issue as a failure of the transmission lead frame connector. This component is critical to proper transmission operation, and its failure directly impacts the vehicle’s ability to shift safely and maintain control. Ford Motor Company previously issued a Customer Satisfaction Program extending warranty coverage for this specific defect. However, that coverage was limited by time rather than mileage or actual condition of the vehicle. Although my vehicle is outside the time-based coverage window, the extremely low mileage clearly indicates that this is not a normal wear-and-tear issue. Instead, it represents a premature failure of a known defective component. This defect presents a significant safety concern. The failure can cause: - Sudden and unexpected downshifting into lower gears - Loss of speed or erratic vehicle response - Increased risk of rear-end collisions or loss of control A transmission that can abruptly change gears without warning creates a dangerous condition for both the driver and surrounding traffic. Given the known nature of this defect, the very low mileage of the vehicle, and the potential safety risks, I respectfully request that NHTSA review this issue and consider whether additional action is warranted to protect drivers, including further investigation or expanded coverage.
