2015 FORD F-150 Complaints

My 2015 Ford F-150 experienced a sudden, dangerous loss of throttle power while driving, forcing an emergency stop on the side of the road. The vehicle is now locked in a hard electronic no-start/no-crank condition. We diagnosed the vehicle and pulled active, stored trouble codes P0706 and P0707 for the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS).This failure matches the exact defect described in NHTSA Campaign 26V237 / Ford Recall 26S28. However, Ford Corporate and the local dealership (Washington Ford in PA) are actively refusing to provide an emergency diagnostic scan, towing, or physical parts replacement, claiming they will not honor the remedy until June 30th. This has left a hazardous, disabled vehicle stranded on my property. They have acknowledged this meets the criteria of the safety recall but want me to pay for the towing of the disabled vehicle, diagnostics, and repair upfront including the lead frame which the recall notice specifically states should be replaced because the codes were thrown before reprogramming.

Recall 26V237 / Ford 26S28** Vehicle 2015 Ford F 150 VIN: [XXX] Recall Reference NHTSA Recall: 26V237 Ford Recall: 26S28 Summary of Safety Issue My vehicle has begun experiencing the exact defect described in Recall 26V237. The truck has twice downshifted unexpectedly to a much lower gear while traveling at approximately 35–40 mph. Both events caused abrupt deceleration and a momentary loss of rear wheel traction. Events • Two unintended downshifts in the past two weeks • Speeds approximately 35–40 mph • Abrupt wheel speed reduction consistent with recall description • Rear tires briefly slid until speed decreased • “Check Engine” light illuminated • Powertrain warning indicators present Diagnostic Findings My independent mechanic retrieved five powertrain related error codes. He confirmed the codes align with the recall condition and that the downshifting behavior is consistent with a transmission control module fault. Safety Concern The recall notice states that this defect “may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.” Because the issue has already occurred twice at moderate speeds, I am concerned that a recurrence at highway speeds could lead to loss of control. Remedy Delay Ford and my local dealer (Colorado Springs, CO) informed me that the software remedy will not be available until June 30, 2026. The recall notice states that the remedy is “not yet available.” Current Status Given the active defect, warning lights, and repeat occurrences, I believe the vehicle may be unsafe to operate. I am considering parking the truck until a remedy is available. Request to NHTSA I am reporting this because: • The defect is already occurring • The recall remedy is delayed • The vehicle may be unsafe to drive • I want this documented in case the issue is more widespread or requires interim action I am requesting NHTSA review this case and determine whether additional guidance or action is appropriate.
