2013 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

MY 2013 F150 WAS PARKED UNDER MY CARPORT AND I GOT IN IT TO MOVE IT AND HOOK UP A SMALL TRAILER. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID. I HAD A BOTTLE AND FILLED IT. GOT BACK IN AND MOVED 20 FEET AND HAD NO BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL AND THE WARNING WAS ON AGAIN. I CHECKED AND IT IS EMPTY AGAIN. I SAW ONLINE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2013 F150 TRUCKS. AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL !! I SEE NO LEAKS SO IT MUST BE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND OR BOOSTER !! BUT NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO GET REPAIRED AND HAVE LIMITED INCOME BEING DISABLED !! SO MY COMPLAINT IS IF OTHERS OF THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL F150 WERE IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEN WHY IS MY F150 NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHEN THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED OR HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE !!! WHY DID I GET SCREWED AND NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ???

MASTER CYLINDER LEAK CAUSING LOW BRAKE FUILD AND LOSS OF BRAKES. SAW AN OLDER RECALL NOTICE ON THIS YEAR OF TRUCK BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT AS RECALL .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED ON ITS OWN AND THE TIRES SLID. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO COAST AS THE TRANSMISSION KICKED BACK INTO GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

SINCE PURCHASED NEW THE ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ESPECIALLY DURING DAMP WEATHER. IT HAS SPENT WEEKS AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER AND KILL TAKING WITH IT THE POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND LIGHTS. IT IS STILL AN ISSUE TODAY. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT IS REALLY CONCERNING IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT ITSELF INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEND RPMS RACING FOR NO REASON. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP V&H IN MARSHFIELD THAT THEY 'REPROGRAMMED' THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT STILL HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE ENGINE BEING MOST COMMON DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAPPENS RATHER FREQUENTLY WITH THE LAST EPISODE BEING ON 8/12/19

ON 10 AUG 2019 I TOOK MY FORD IN FOR TRANSMISSION RECALL, REPROGRAMMING TO PREVENT UNCONTROLLED DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD NEVER HAD HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING PRIOR TO THIS DATE. ONCE RECALL WAS DONE WITHIN A WEEK MY TRUCK DRASTICALLY DOWNSHIFTED TWICE BEFORE TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE RECALL. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AND TOLD ME MY WHEELS LOCKING WAS NOT A SIGN OF DOWNSHIFTING. NOW I CONTINUE TO HAVE DOWNSHIFTING ISSUES AND ALSO AM THROWING A P0720 CODE. I JUST KNOW THAT THE DOWNSHIFTING BROKE THE LEADFRAME AND I LOOKING AT A HUGE BILL. NOW VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHERE I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR TO GET SPEEDOMETER TO SHOW.

I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PULL IT BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I PLUGGED IN AN OBD CODE READER AND IT GAVE A P2112 "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED." UPON SOME RESEARCH I FOUND SEVERAL MODELS BETWEEN 2011 THROUGH 2015 HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE WAS MOVING WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED, BUT THANKFULLY IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE MY DRIVEWAY, I HADNT MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY YET. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, AND WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING HEARD A NOISE THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD F-150 SUPER WHITE HAS 160,405. THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACE I HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF COMMENTS ONLINE ABOUT PEOPLE TIMING CHAIN GOING OUT IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP RECEIVED A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CODE , SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC CODE, & DOWNHILL CODE. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PICKED UP MY TRUCK HE STATED I WAS THE 4TH FORD HE'S TOWED WITH THESE SAME ISSUE. LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MULTIPLE PAGES IN REGARDS TO THE SAME ISSUES. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE MECHANICS AND FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WARPED AND LEAKING

THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME RUSTING ALONG THE REAR WHEEL WELLS.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel pump module and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The dealer also diagnosed that the fuse box needed to be relocated to prevent fuse #27 from burning due to the engine heat. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVER HEAT, THE BATTERY DIED, AND I LOST STEERING DUE TO THE FAULTY WATER PUMP BREAKING AND THE SERPENTINE BELT COMING OFF WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK THAT CAUSED BRAKE FLUID TO DRAIN INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THEN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SUCK BRAKE FLUID INTO THE MOTOR. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THIS COULD OF POTENTIALLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, OR EVEN A DEATH IF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT NOTICED SOONER. THE VEHICLE ALMOST LOST ALL BRAKING FORCE WHICH COULD OF KILLED SOMEONE. FORD IS DENYING TO FIX THE RECALL #16S24 FOR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MANUFACTURED DURING THE YEARS OF THE RECALL. PROBLEM IS THE ISSUE THE VEHICLE HAS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE MENTIONED RECALL, FOR THE EXACT SAME MAKE AND MODEL TRUCK.

AS PART OF SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07, I SCHEDULED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER (KOON'S/ANNAPOLIS, MD) FOR SERVICE ON THIS RECALL. I SCHEDULED MY 100,000 SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO GO WITH IT. CURIOUSLY, ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER MAKING THE APPOINTMENT, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO SAY WHILE THEY COULD TAKE THE APPOINTMENT THAT I WAS PAYING FOR OUT OF MY POCKET WITHOUT ISSUE, THE RECALL REPAIR THAT FMC IS PAYING FOR WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME UNTIL ... OCT. 1, 2019 AT THE EARLIEST. WHY IS IT THAT A REPAIR/SERVICE THAT I'M PAYING FOR IS AVAILABLE TO ME IMMEDIATELY, BUT A REPAIR THAT FMC IS PAYING FOR -- THAT REQUIRED A "DON'T DELAY / SCHEDULE TODAY" LETTER FROM FORD TO ALERT ME ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION ISN'T AVAILABLE UNTIL OCT. 1?

WHEN ENTERING ONTO THE INTERSTATE I FELT THE TRUCK WAS NOT GETTING UP TO SPEED. I THEN NOTICED ON MY DASHBOARD A BIG WRENCH. I FELT MY TRUCK CONTINUE TO NOT GAIN SPEED EVEN THOUGH I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS.THE SCREEN THEN WENT BLACK AND AND WHEN THE DASHBOARD CAME BACK ON I HAD NOTHING SHOWING. NO MPH ,FUEL ECONOMY, ETC AND I WAS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR.I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED BUT ONLY DECREASE IF I STEPPED ON THE BREAK.I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING BUT IT WAS NOT FAST AT ALL SINCE EVERYONE WAS PASSING ME(MAYBE 40 MPH).I ALSO NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE AND RESTART MY TRUCK.ONCE I DID THAT EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND WORKED FOR THE REST OF THE RIDE. I WAS RECENTLY PART OF A FORD RECALL BUT HAD THAT FIXED.I HAD THE AUTOMATIC DOWNSHIFTING HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIMES BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL WAS IN PLACE. I JUST GOT A LETTER LAST WEEK THAT THEY NEED TO REDO THE RECALL, I HAD THE DOWNSHIFTING HAPPEN TO ME AND THIS WAS NOT IT. THIS IS A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS MAKING ME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN TRUCK SINCE MOST OF MY TIME IS ON THE INTERSTATE. PHOTOS ARE ATTACHED OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE.

2013 F150 FX4 REAR WINDOW SHATTERS FOR NO REASON ,THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES ,FIRST TIME I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFOGGER AND 2 MINS. LATER IT SHATTERED ,THIS TIME MILD SUMMER DAY IN THE NORTHEST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE TRUCK OFF AND IT SHATTERED AGAIN , ,THAT'S NOT RIGHT !!!

I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN TWO RECALLS DEALING WITH THE UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFTING BUT NO CHANGE TO THE ISSUE I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THE LAST RECALL WAS 7/12/2019. IT SEEMS LIKE TO USE RECALLS ARE NOT FIXING THE ISSUE WHAT CAN I DO? I WILL KINDLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF FEEDBACK TO STEER ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR I AM LOCKED INTO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES WITH THIS VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AROUND ME?

ENGINE TURBO, 100000 MILES TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT. DEALER FOUND NOTHING. AT 108000 MILES STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH TRUCK DOWN SHIFTING AND GRINDING AND ENGINE SQUEALING.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I70 IN COLORADO AND TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE LEARNED THIS PROBLEM IS FAIRLY COMMON WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE AND HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY RESOLVED LEAVING THOSE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES IN DANGER.

WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

TRAVELING 50 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. HAD POWER TO VEHICLE BUT NO STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY SUCCESSFULLY. THE TRUCK WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK, AFTER SITTING 90 MINUTES, IT CRANKED. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY SAID IT WAS THE #27 FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. PUT A KIT IN TO MOVE THE #27 FUSE TO AN ISOLATED LOCATION SO IT WOULDN'T GET HOT AND MALFUNCTION. THE COST WAS $250. I ASKED IT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I SAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE RESPONSE WAS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE. I WAS LUCKY AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE NEXT PERSON MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED.

1. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (AROUND 70 MPH) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN-SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR. THE REAR TIRES BRIEFLY LOCKED UP, BUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MANAGED. 2. WHILE DRIVING, BOTH IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 5TH. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT BELOW 3RD GEAR WHEN BROUGHT TO A STOP. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN WOULD RESET THE PROBLEM. THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0. THE ODOMETER AND OTHER DIGITAL READINGS IN THE CENTER CLUSTER ON THE DASH SHOWED ALL DASHES. AFTER SEVERAL OF THESE EVENTS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. 3. AFTER ONE OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN 2 ABOVE, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, AND THEN RETURNED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSIS. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S07 WAS PERFORMED IN MARCH 2019. FORD SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S19 WAS PERFORMED IN JULY 2019, AFTER THE FIRST EVENT, BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. THEN AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN I HAD NO BRAKES. MANAGED TO COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND COME TO A STOP. HAD IT TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLEED SYSTEM.

STEERING FIRST STARTED MAKING GROANING NOISES ON TIGHT TURNS, WITHIN A FEW DAYS, GOT SO BAD I COULD BARELY STEER IT. MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS IS THAT STEERING RACK/ELECTRIS STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT THIS KIND OF PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS COMMON. THIS SUGGESTS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH SERIOUS SAFETY IMPLICATIONS-- DANGER OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, TO INCLUDE WHEN TOWING HEAVY LOADS, AS I WAS DOING WHEN IT WAS GOING BAD. IF A DESIGN FLAW, WHY IS THIS NOT ALREADY A SAFETY RECALL?

I'M CALLING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ERRATIC UNLOCKING OF DRIVER DOOR. DOOR WHEN OPERATED BY REMOTE TO UNLOCK, MOST TIMES NEEDS 2 ACTUATIONS, OF HANDLE TO ACTUALLY OPEN BY USER. MY WIFE AFTER SHOPPING FELT A PRESENCE AND TRIED TO ENTER OUR VEHICLE AND WAS BADLY FRIGHTENED WHEN SHE COULD NOT ENTER IMMEDIATELY SHE PULLED ON HANDLE WITHOUT OPENING DOOR AND THOUGHT SHE HAD NOT ACTUATED THE REMOTE CORRECTLY SHE PREFORMED THE ACTION TO UNLOCK AND HAD TO PULL DOOR HANDLE 2 TIMES TO ENTER AND LOCK IT TO FEEL SAFE. HE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS FITS THE STANDARD FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. IT SEEMED LIKE IT AT THE TIME. DEALER WANTS A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE TO REMEDY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS UNFAIR VEHICLE HAS 82,000 MILES

2013 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE RECALL; THEREFORE, THE RECALL WAS UNABLE TO BE COMPLETED. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES/H PULLING A TRAILER WITH A LIGHT LOAD. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT FROM NORMAL ENGINE SOUND TO A LOUDER AND LOUDER SOUND AND IT SLOWED DOWN AS IF I WAS BEEN DRAGGED BACKWARD. THE ENGINE SOUND FELT LIKE THE TRUCK HAD DOWN SHIFTED FROM A HIGHER TO A LOWER GEAR AND WAS BRAKING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO COMPENSATE BY GIVING MORE GAS SO THAT I COULD PULLOVER SAFELY. WITHIN A MINUTE THE TRUCK STOPPED STILL, THERE WAS SMOKE AND FIRE THAT SPREAD RAPIDLY THROUGH THE CABINE AND ENGINE. WE NEARLY ESCAPED. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLEAR THE TRAILER OFF THE ROAD AS THE TRUCK HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE TRUCK BURNED COMPLETELY. BEFORE REPORTING THIS INCIDENT I CALLED FORD, PROVIDED MY VIN NUMBER AND ASKED WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECENT RECALLS ON MY F150. FORD CONFIRMED THAT A RECALL (# 19S07) THAT IMPACTED MY VIN WAS ISSUED IN FEB, 2019. HOWEVER, I DO NOT REMEMBER RECEIVING ANY NOTIFICATION FROM MY FORD DEALERSHIP.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL TO SCHEDULE REPAIR (SOFTWARE) UPGRADE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES TO ONLY BE TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO SEE IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE FROM FORD. THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS REPAIRED.
