2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

WE PURCHASED OUR F-150 ON OR ABOUT 1/2/2018 WITH NO KNOWN PROBLEMS, THE NEXT DAY IT DIDN'T WANT TO START AND SEVERAL ENGINE CODES SHOWED UP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CLEARED, RESET PROGRAM AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES, BUT SAID THEIR IS A RECALL ON ENGINE COOLANT AND THEY ORDERED PART. THE NEXT DAY THE CODES APPEARED AND WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK TO LEARN OUR DRIVING HABITS AND THE CODES WOULD DISAPPEAR. WE LEFT AND THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK DIDN'T WANT TO START AGAIN AND WE ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUES. 1/9/2018

WHEN IN DRIVE (D) AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LOCKS IN 1ST (1) GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STANDING START. STOP VEHICLE AND PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK (P). PLACE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE (D) AND ACCELERATE FROM STANDING START. TRANSMISSION OPERATES NORMALLY. RANDOM EVENT. FREQUENCY IS FOUR (4) TIME OVER APPROXIMATELY THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE LIGHT OFF. WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR ANYWHERE. I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF.

WHILE IN MOTION AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS VIOLENTLY INTO FIRST GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT ME FROM BEHIND, HARD. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHILE I AM TURNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF MY TRUCK.

TURNED ON THE TRUCK TO WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER ON THE BACK WINDOW BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUT. ABOUT 5MIN DOWN THE ROAD WE HEARD THIS VERY LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. LUCKILY IT STAYED INTACT OR THE GLASS WOULD HAVE GONE ALL OVER MY TWO YEAR OLD SON. NOW I AM BEING TOLD IT COSTS OVER $1000.00 TO FIX!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MORNING GOING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 50-60 MPH, VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR RESULTING IN THE WHEELS LOCKING UP. WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT SLOWED DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED. FORD WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE AAMCO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION FOR $5,460.07. OCCURRED IN SEPT OF 2015 WITH 74,000 MILEAGE.

I OWN A 2012 F150 ECOBOOST. MY PROBLEM IS WHEN I ACCELERATE DURING RAINY/HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTTERS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE SERVICE CENTER CANNOT DAIGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE ANY CODE. I'VE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO GET NEW SPARK PLUGS AND COILS WHICH DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AUSTIN, TEXAS 1/2018

UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR FROM 6TH GEAR. ON MOST RECENT OCCASION MY F150 DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR WHILE I WAS GOING AT 60 MPH. CAUSED REAR WHEELS TO SKID/SLIDE. THIS HAPPENED TODAY JAN 03 2018. LOCATION PALO PINTO COUNTY TEXAS US HIGHWAY 180. THIS IS THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW FORD HAS HAD A PRIOR RECALL ABOUT THIS. MY TRUCK WAS NOT LISTED ON PRIOR RECALL. 16V248000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER (D-PATRICK DOWNTOWN FORD, 500 WALNUT ST, EVANSVILLE, IN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. TRUCK STARTED TO SPIN AROUND BEFORE STOPPING ABRUPTLY IN THE ROADWAY. FORD DIAGNOSED AS BAD PART IN TRANSMISSION THAT WAS RECALLED IN SOME VEHICLES, BUT NOT MINE. WTF?
