VEHICLE IS DOWN SHIFTING TO GEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A ABRUPT STOP. I WAS GOING 55 MPH AND THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED WITHOUT NOTICE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE ISSUE, DUE TO THE ENGINEERS HAD NOT CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. I STOPPED AND GOT OUT AND TOUCHED THE WINDOW AND BURNT MY HAND WITH HOW HOT IT WAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT CALLED APPLE FORD AT 410-290-1100 (LOCATED AT 8800 STANFORD BLVD, COLUMBIA, MD 21045) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE, RESULTS IN A DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. FIRST HAPPENED AT APPX 20 MPH WHILE CORNERING, AND MOMENTARY EXIT OF LANE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL ABLE TO WRESTLE VEHICLE BACK INTO LANE. I WAS ON A CURVY COUNTRY ROAD.

ERRATIC SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING. WOULD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 1ST RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE IN PARKING LOT WOULD START TRANSMISSION IN 5TH AND NOT MOVE. SUSPECT IT IS THE LEAD MOLDING FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL LEAD MOLD FRAMES FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 F150S BUT IT IS CLEAR IT IS STILL PLAGUING THE 2013 AND 2014S.

HAVE TAKEN OUR TRUCK TWICE TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT FROM (CHEVY DEALER) FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT WILL RANDOMLY SLIP INTO NEUTRAL, AND WHEN I SAY RANDOMLY I MEAN WHILE GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OR FROM DRIVING AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. WE PRESS THE GAS AND GET NOWHERE. SOMETIMES, WE SWITCH INTO NEUTRAL, THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT IT MOSTLY HAPPENS AS WE ARE DRIVING, WHICH CAUSES OUR SPEED TO SLOW DRAMATICALLY. IT TAKES AROUND 20-30SECONDS FOR IT TO RIGHT ITSELF. WE BOUGHT OUR TRUCK IN JUNE 2018 AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 3WKS LATER WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. NOW IT HAPPENS REGULARLY/DAILY. WE WERE HOPING IT WAS JUST A TRANSMISSION FLUID PROBLEM, SINCE THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP (JAN.9, 2019), THEY CHANGED THE FLUID AND IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE, HOWEVER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.

TRANMISSIOM SHIF TO FIRST SPEED

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO RANDOMLY CHANGE TO 1ST GEAR THEN TO 3RD, 5TH, 1ST. CAUSING THE TRUCK TO TEMPORARILY LOCK UP THE REAR WHEELS AND BUCK UNCONTROLLABLY. VERY FRIGHTNING. ALMOST CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW OUTPUT SPEED MODULE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO JENKINTOWN FORD (1650 THE FAIRWAY, JENKINTOWN, PA 19046, (888) 503-1980), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,100.

ON MY FORD F150 2013 THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED A FEW MINUTES AFTER I REMOTE STARTED THE TRUCK. THE WINDOW HAD NO PRIOR DAMAGE OR IMPERFECTIONS. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

REAR DEFROST AND DEFROST LIGHT WON'T COME ON. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH PROBLEM WILL EXPLODE THE REAR WINDOW. ONLY WAY TO SOLVE REAR DEFROST PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE WHOLE REAR WINDOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SPORADIC, BUT WAS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

DOWNSHIFTS INTO 1ST... STILL...AFTER THE RECALL APPOINTMENT. RESET, BUT CONTINUES AND WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK A SHORT TIME. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED A FEW WRECKS AND ONE WITH A TRAILER PULLING MACHINERY. WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO HAVE A NEWER TRUCK TO HAUL OUR HORSES AS WELL, AND CANNOT DO THAT. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF! WE HAVE ALL FORD F 150'S IN OUR FAMILY AND HATE TO HAVE TO CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE IF THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED. A NEW TRANSMISSION/??? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH TO FIX WHAT IS WRONG??? TRUCK IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND AT VARIOUS TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO WARNING, CAN BE FINE FOR DAYS THEN HAPPENS ALL OF A SUDDEN. STREET, HIGHWAY, DOESN'T MATTER. AND NOW IT'S NOT WANTING TO COME BACK DOWN AFTER SHIFTING BACK UP FROM 1ST. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW. CAN'T SELL IN GOOD CONSCIOUS TO SOMEONE, SO IT SITS. BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, JUST BAD TRANNY. OH, AND ALSO, THE TRUCK THINKS THE REAR DOOR IS OPEN AND IT'S NOT, WHICH KEEPS US FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCK IT AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR A BIT AFTER SHUTTING OFF (USING THE BATTERY). NOT SURE IF THIS HAS A RECALL OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING AND IN 6TH GEAR ON A 2 LANE RD, THE TRUCK SHIFTED DOWN INTO 1ST AND CAUSED ME TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD. WHEEL ALMOST LOCKED UP. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER. PLACED THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL AND USED MANUAL TO GET HOME. THEY NEXT DAY TRUCK RAN BUT ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND TRANS ACTS UP NOW AND THEN.NO DAMAGE BUT NOW THE TRUCK DOESN'T RUN RIGHT. I CLEARED THE CODES BUT NOT MUCH BETTER.

AFTER GETTING OFF OF WORK AT 1130 PM I WENT OUT TO WARM UP MY TRUCK. AFTER BOUT FIVE MINUTES I WENT BACK OUT TO LEAVE GOT IN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO GO HOME . TO MY SURPRISE NOT FAR DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I WENT TO GO AROUND BIN(CORNER) MY STEERING HAD LOCKED UP AND I COULD BARELY MOVE IT. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GO OFF THE ROAD AND DIDN'T GET INTO WRECK OR ANYTHING OVER THIS ALTHOUGH IT WAS STILL PRETTY SCARY. THE DASH WOULD BEEP AND FLASHED POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SO I CALL SOMEONE TO HELP ME THEN GET ON MY PHONE GOOGLE IN POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY TRUCK AND IT SHOWS ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THAT PRODUCT OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. TRIED TALKING TO THE FORD PEOPLE AND NOT ONLY WERE THEY RUDE BUT WAS TOLD IT WASNT THEIR PROBLEM BASICALLY CUZ THE VIN NUMBER DID NOT SHOW THE RECALL AND I CAN TAKE IT UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP. HOW CAN THEY JUST DO THAT? THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING AND I COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BEEN HURT AS WELL AS ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING AND PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE DRIVER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A WHILE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE DRIVER MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE VEHICLE (WRENCH ICON) ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE ANY FAILURE CODES; HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TODAY WHILE DRIVING 70MPH MY TRUCK SHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOCK THE REAR TIRES, SWERVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, RPM'S TO THE MAX REV LIMIT, LOSS OF POWER, DASH CLUSTER WENT BLANK, WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWED UP, THEN WRENCH SYMBOL WAS GONE WITH A BLANK DASH CLUSTER. TRUCK THEN JUMPED TO 3RD GEAR, BACK TO 1ST, THEN BACK UP TO 5TH GEAR. PULLED OVER TURNED OF TRUCK, TOOK OUT KEY, RE-STARTED TRUCK AND ISSUE WAS GONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, HOWEVER, I WAS AT 10-20MPH. ONCE AT 55MPH SHIFT TO 3RD GEAR, BACK TO 5TH, THEN TO 1ST, UP TO 3RD. EVERY TIME THE TRUCK WILL END UP AT 3RD GEAR. THE TRUCK WILL NOT SHIFT DOWN TO FIRST MANUALLY, YOU MUST TAKE OF IN 3RD GEAR WITHOUT ANY POWER. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2011-2012 FORD F150'S. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THESE SAME PROBLEMS ALL WITH YEARS RANGING FROM 2011-2017. O FEEL THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITB YOUR VEHICLE GOING FROM 70MPH DOWN TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOCK UP AND SWERVE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD WILL RECOGNIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY YEARS OF THE MODEL!!!!! I'M HAPPY MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CAR POOL KIDS EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE DOING THIS KNOWING THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM PAST YEARS. PLEASE MAKE THESE TRUCKS SAFE!!! I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK, AND THE COMPUTER SHOWED 0 CODES FOUND. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, RE-START IT (SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES) THE TRUCK WILL DRIVE PERFECT UNTIL IT DECIDES TO ACT UP AGAIN.

TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SPEED SENSOR JUMPS AROUND AND TRUCK STARTS JERKING BACK AND FORTH. NO LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH TO SAY ANYTHING IS WRONG. IT HAS DONE IT THREE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. ONCE IT DID IT WHILE NOT MOVING IT JUMPED INTO FOG GEAR AND WOULDN'T SHIFT

My 2013 f150 ecoboost 3.5 has warped exhaust manifolds like all the other f150 owners that are out there complaing of the same issue,but for some reason alot of vin# have been left off the recall list why? There is a recall for this problem with this engin listed for all other ford cars 2011-2015 with this enging, The f150 is listed on line but for some reason my vin# did not pop-up as others with the same issnue and same and falls ind the years Ford listed as a recall. . If my engine and others who are expereancing the same problem as others F150s that have been recalled. Ford needs to fix this with my truck and others. I barley drive this truck anymore because of this and the cost at a Ford dealership is almost $3000.00. I have been complaing for years and this needs to be addressed

THE TRANSMITION WHEN DRIVING WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT DOWN TO 1ST GEAR THEN 2ND GEAR. IT WILL GET STUCK ON 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TO MY VEHICLE. 1ST TIME WAS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT ACCELERATE THEN SUDDENLY IT SHIFTED DOWN FROM 5TH TO 1ST AND 2ND. AT THE SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK SHFITED DOWN FROM 5TH GEAR SO FAST I THOUGHT I GOT HIT BY A CAR. I HAD 2 MORE DANGEROUS INCIDENTS. THE SECOND ONE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. THE THIRD ONE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 30 MPH.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED DESPITE NO IMPACT

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE , AS MY 2013 F150 HAS SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ERRATICALLY. DRIVING AT STEADY SPEEDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHIFTS UP AND DOWN FROM 1ST TO 5TH AND 6TH GEAR AND BACK DOWN AGAIN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. WHICH AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS STATED IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AND FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE RECALLED CERTAIN YEARS BUT NOT 2013 WHICH IS APPARENTLY JUST AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE , NOW THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE IT WILL MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY AT LEAST $1000 TO REPAIR MAYBE MORE IF MORE PROBLEMS ARE FOUND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM AS THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT SPANS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF VEHICLES. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE DEAL THIS AS THIS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT HAS SPANNED YEARS AND MANY MODELS AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND THAT UNSUSPECTING VICTIM IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT FROM 5TH GEAR TO FIRST GOING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 285 IN ATLANTA, GA. ONE TIME STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. WOULD TEMPORARILY STOP IF VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. PRINTOUT FROM OUR MECHANIC DESCRIBING THE ISSUE: " VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION BUILT PRIOR TO 4/8/2013 MAY EXHIBIT A TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT IN 5TH GEAR WHEN STARTING. THE WRENCH INDICATOR AND/OR SEAT BELT MINDER MAY BE ILLUMINATED, THE SPEEDOMETER READS ZERO AND THE ODOMETER DASHES WHILE DRIVING. SYMPTOMS MAY CLEAR AFTER AN IGNITION KEY CYCLE. DIAGNOSTICS TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PO720 AND PO722 MAY OR MAY NOT BE STORED IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE SERVICE PROCEDURE IS TO REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME ON THE MAIN CONTROL ASSEMBLY." NALLEY FORD IN SANDY SPRINGS, GA DID THIS ON THIS VEHICLE, KNEW EXACTLY THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAD HAD TO DO THIS BEFORE. IN ATLANTA, IF YOUR VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS THAT DRAMATICALLY, YOU COULD EASILY BE KILLED OR TERRIBLY INJURED WITH THE AMOUNT OF BIG RIGS FLYING AROUND THE PERIMETER INTERSTATE HERE IN ATLANTA. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS FLAW, AND OTHER SIMILAR, VEHICLES. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY HUSBAND WAS NOT A STATISTIC. WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED REGARDING THIS, NOT TO MENTION THE NEARLY $1,200 PRICE TAG. THANK YOU.

***ONGOING LEAD FRAME ISSUE, REFLASHING YOUR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK*** YESTERDAY, (2/2/2019) , MY 2013 F150 WITH 6R80 TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR @ APPROX. 45MPH. THIS TIME THE GUY BEHIND ME HAD TO JUMP A CURB TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME, ALMOST HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO FORD 2 MONTHS AGO WITH SAME ISSUE, THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG BECAUSE THEY COULD FIND NO CODE, TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN IT'S "ACTUALLY BROKEN". TOOK TO INDEPENDENT SHOP, THEY PERFORMED THE REFLASH PER FORD'S 16V-248 RECALL BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. AFTER FLASH, SHIFTING WAS MARKEDLY HARSH FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. DURING THIS INCIDENT, I GOT A LARGE ORANGE WRENCH WARNING THAT WENT AWAY BEFORE I COULD PHOTO. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT, TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR WHILE PARKED, GAUGES ARE BLANKED OUT, AND AIRBAG SYMBOL IS ON. WAS ABLE TO GET PHOTOS OF THESE THIS TIME. TURNED VEHICLE OFF FOR APPROX 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED, CONDITION WAS CLEARED WITH NO RESIDUAL WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR IT, BUT I'M TAKING BACK TO INDEPENDANT SHOP TO HAVE LEAD FRAME REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS A TIMEBOMB THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED, WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HOLD UP IS ON AN EXTENDED RECALL.

VEHICLE REFUSED TO STOP AT RED LIGHT WHEN I WAS TRAVELING AT 40MPH. I HAD TO CLIMB THE MEDIAN TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF.ME.

REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT FROM A FOREIGN OBJECT. DURING DRIVE I HEAD A LOAD BOOM AND THE REAR WINDOW WAS BROKEN. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE FORD F-150

WHILE DRIVING WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON, REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND MPH WILL DROP TO 0 AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE DASH WILL DISPLAY A WRENCH AND THE CLUSTER WILL GO BLANK WITH ALL DASHES. UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON THE DASH WILL CLEAR AND THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE ISSUE RETURNS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I HAD MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH LUCKILY NO ONE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME OR I WOULD HAVE FOR SURE BEEN REAR ENDED. I DID A CODE SCAN AND RECIEVE CODE 0722 WHICH IS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I COME TO FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS EVEN A RECALL ON THE 2011-2012 VEHICLES BUT THE 2013 IS NOT INCLUDED. THROUGH ONLINE FORUMS AND JUST COMMON RESEARCH THIS ISSUE HAS AFFECTED VEHICLES ALL THE WAY THROUGH 2014 AND STILL NO RECALL. MY TRUCK HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD WANTS $895 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES. IT IS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS CONCERN THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR A DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN AND SPECIFICALLY SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER WHEELS LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING TO 5TH GEAR FROM A STOP WHICH CAUSES THE TRUCK TO NOT BE ABLE ACCELERATE. TRANSMISSION ALSO SHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR (FROM 6TH) WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP.

JANUARY 29, 2019 I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER LEAVING OFFICE AND HEARD A BIG POP NOISE, SCARED ME TO DEATH. IT WAS DARK AND COLD AND COULD NOT TELL WHERE IT CAME FROM, IT WASN'T TILL I LEFT FOR WORK THE NEXT MORNING IN THE SUNSHINE I SAW MY BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED (HARD TO TELL WITH THE HEAD REST AT NIGHT). WHEN I GOT TO OFFICE I LOOKED ON OUTSIDE OF WINDOW FOR DAMAGE BUT COULD HARDLY TELL IT WAS SHATTERED AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO OUTSIDE OF GLASS OR BODY OF MY F-150. I HAVE A POWER REAR MIDDLE WINDOW AND IT WAS FINE, IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. ALSO MY REAR DEFROST WAS NOT ON. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO A LOT OF F-150 TRUCKS. I GOT A QUOTE AND IT WAS $800.00 DOESN'T SEEM FAIR THAT THIS IS HAPPENING QUITE A BIT TO ALL THE DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED.

REAR, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED OUT OF NO WHERE
