2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL MY TRUCK KEEPS DOWNSHIFTING AND LOCKING UP MY BACK WHEELS ON THE HIGHWAY. I JUST ALMOST HAD A WRECK AND THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE ROOF FRAME HOLDING THE GLASS ELECTRICALLY OPERATES MOONROOF CRACKED CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION DURING A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM WOULD BE A WATEEEMERSION LIKE THE RECENT AMPHIBIOUS WW2 'DUCK' WHERE 17 SOULS WERE LOST. PLEASE STEP UP AND REQUIRE FORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST THING THAT CAME OUT OF FORDS MOUTH WAS ' OH YEAH WE'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING GLASS ROOFS. FORD HAS SERVICED MY VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012 AND NEVER MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM.

A BUSHING RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING THE SHIFTER CABLE IN THE TRANSMISSION DETACHED. THE TRANSMISSION ENDS UP IN A DIFFERENT GEAR THAN WHAT THE DRIVER SEES ON THE SHIFT CONSOLE. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MIGHT PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE DASHBOARD WOULD SHOW PARK, BUT THE CAR WOULD STILL BE IN GEAR. 2012 FORD F150 --> SAME EXACT ISSUE REPAIRED ON 4/24/2017. THERE IS A RECALL FROM FORD TODAY AND IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE F150. YET EXPERIENCED SAME EXACT ISSUE AND REPAIR ON 2012 F150 OVER 1 YEAR AGO. F150 AT THE TIME ONLY 57,500 MILES AND 4.5YEARS OLD.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH ON CITY STREET THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR. HAD TO STOP ,TURN TRUCK COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART TO GET IT TO WORK PROPERLY.

WE HAVE A FORD F-150 AND IT IS LOSING POWER AS YOU TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD. WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST TWICE WITH NO SUCCESS IN FINDING THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD SENSORS REPLACED AND THE INTERCOOLER DRAINED TWICE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AS YOUR TRAVELING IT WILL LOOSE POWER AND IT'S HARD TO GET OFF THE ROAD SOMETIMES AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUTWITHOUT ANY WARNING. LIGHT CAME ON SAYING SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. I LIVE ON A COUNTRY ROAD SPEED LIMIT IS 55 MPH. I WAS LUCKY TO GET MY TRUCK BACK INTO MY LANE BEFORE A CAR COMING HEADED ON WAS UPON ME. I AM LUCKY I DID NOT HAVE A HEAD CRASH. HAD YRUCK SERVICED A COST OF $2034.64 TO FIX THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 40,614 MILES ON THE IT. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MUCH. PLUS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DOES OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ONLY WARRANTY THIS FIX FOR TWO YEARS. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS ADVANCE TRAC.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO A MUCH LOWER GEAR CAUSING A TIRE SKID AND LARGE INCREASE OF RPM. A "WRENCH" ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT AN RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MADE ABNORMAL SOUNDS AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STAR FORD LINCOLN (1101 S BRAND BLVD, GLENDALE, CA 91204, (818) 956-0977) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO FAILURE CODES WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000.

RADIO, CLOCK AND HEATER-AIR WOULD SHUT OFF. NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE WOULD START. ALL FUSES WERE CHECKED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. WHEN TURNING KEY ONTO "ON" POSITION THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD LIGHT UP WAS THE ODOMETER.
