2013 FORD F-150

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013 F-150 vehicles equipped with 5.0L or 6.2L gasoline engines, that previously had the powertrain control module (PCM) software reprogrammed under recall 19V-075. The software used to reprogram the PCM did not have the necessary updates to prevent the transmission from unexpectedly downshifting into first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.

Risk: Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

My truck has been randomly downshifting while driving. I see there is a recall for my year and make of truck for the same problem i am having, but my truck is not coming up for the recall. I am so afraid that if I am on the freeway if this downshifts, it put me in harms way. What can I do? I took it in for repair at a independent repair shop and it is still happening, they di not know about the module on recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. No warning lights were illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the instrument cluster blinked off and on. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. In addition, the contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased in 2023, the contact was informed that an unknown software recall had been performed. The contact was informed that the unknown recall was a software update for the powertrain control module. The contact stated that the failure occurred. The contact later discovered that the recall had not been performed by the dealer where the vehicle was purchased. The contact contacted an alternate dealer who provided mobile service. The unknown recall for the powertrain control module software update was performed. The contact was informed that a second software update was needed. The failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The contact was informed that the repair was not covered under the recall due to mileage limitations. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The incident occurred while entering a limited access roadway. I was accelerating and merging into the main lane of travel. As I was accelerating, the engine cut off and several warning lights appeared. The Check Engine light came on first, followed by the Check Battery light. As a result of the loss of power, the vehicle behind me almost rear-ended my vehicle. I was able to roll to the side of the highway to the emergency breakdown lane without engine power. I have subsequently had the car inspected by a mechanic. The root cause of the loss of power was related to a cracked fuseblock mounted above the radiator in the middle of the truck. The mechanic indicated that he has seen several of these fuseblocks failing due to cracks. Leading up to the incident, the truck has experienced intermittent issues starting. The engine will crank, but it does not run. After tapping the fuseblock mounted above the radiator, the engine would run.

Random hard shifting and acceleration issue started after I had the vehicle put in service for recall, never had any issue like it before the recall was completed. My computer shows a P0720 and P0721 error. This makes me feel unsafe to drive the vehicle because of the random acceleration and shifting that occurs without any input from me as the driver. Crown motors of Redding Ca advising that the issue is not recall related and refuses to look at vehicle without doing a 300 dollar diagnostic, I’ve asked them several times if they will look at it for just the recall to make sure they have refused and have said things like “drive it for a 100 miles that should correct it”.

On 8/2/25, driving home after dinner with the family my 2013 F150 did hard downshift and the service light came on so went to an auto store for the code. It was the code 19SO7 which turned out to be a software OSS update that was under a recall. Took truck to Ford to do recall and they stated that they did a software update. After picking up the truck we are still having the same hard downshift but now it flashes my airbag light and I loose dash information. Truck was taken back in and Ford says it’s another code with no check engine light but stating that it’s the lead frame issue which was a part of a recall associated the hard downshift safety issue. Dealership reached out to Ford Customer Satisfaction Program because there was a campaign (19N01) that’s still up on their site that would take care of the faulty lead frame associated with the recall. However, Ford denied assisting this safety hazard due to the time they had in the campaign which was 10 years/150,000 miles. The truck is under 95,000 miles. The truck cannot be safely driven, the original problem I took the truck in for, which was a safety recall, is not resolved and worse than when I took it in.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the odometer failed to function as intended. The speedometer went from 40 to zero and failed to provide the correct speed. In addition, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The “WRENCH” warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle, and pulled the key out of the ignition, opened and closed the door, and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was reset. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the output speed sensor circuit had no signal and the PCM and valve body lead frame failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure but denied assistance in covering the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 101,500.

Transmission down shifting and sticking in gear intermittently. Google search shows this: Ford has issued recalls and extended warranty programs for a molded lead frame issue in its automatic transmissions, particularly the 6R80 in F-150s from 2011-2013 and a 2014-only recall (24S37), where a faulty output speed sensor could cause an unintended downshift to first gear. This downshift can lead to the loss of vehicle control and an increased crash risk, although Ford also had a separate recall in 2016 for 2011-2013 F-150s with six-speed transmissions that could suddenly downshift. I called Ford service and was told the program expired and nothing could be done at this time.

The issue involves the rear backup camera system on my 2013 Ford F-150. The camera functions intermittently — sometimes it goes completely black, other times it freezes and does not change image, and occasionally displays a message that says "Camera Unavailable." This happens unpredictably and may change mid-use, even while the vehicle is actively reversing.e component that has failed is the rear-view backup camera system, which appears to be a software-related malfunction (as similar issues have been recalled in newer Ford models). The vehicle and system are available for inspection upon request.This failure presents a significant safety hazard. Because the camera may stop working mid-reverse, it can result in an inability to see behind the vehicle, potentially causing injury to pedestrians (especially children or people in blind spots), damage to property, or accidents in tight spaces. The inconsistent nature of the issue makes it particularly dangerous, as a driver may unknowingly rely on a malfunctioning system.Yes, I contacted the local Ford dealership to report the issue. They acknowledged the possibility of a software or system issue but stated I would need to pay $250 for a diagnostic, which would not go toward the cost of any repair. Due to the high diagnostic fee and the fact that this may be a systemic issue, I have not proceeded further yet.There were no prior warning lamps or alerts before the issue started. The only messages displayed occur at the moment of failure and include "Camera Unavailable" or a blank screen with no visual feed. These symptoms began in April 2025 and have continued sporadically since then.I am submitting this complaint because this is a serious safety concern, and I believe there may be a broader software issue affecting earlier Ford models, similar to those recalled in newer vehicles. As the driver, I should not bear responsibility for a system that is inherently defective and critical to safe vehicle operation.

I was driving on the highway at 55 mph and my truck downshifted to fist gear and the speedometer went to zero with the wrench light coming on. The system that malfunctioned was the molded lead frame for the transmission that was a customer satisfaction program with Ford that I was not notified about. My safety was at risk because I was traveling at a high rate of speed before my truck downshifted into first gear. My problem has been confirmed by my local ford dealer and repaired at my own cost. The vehicle has been inspected by my local Ford dealer. No other symptoms prior to the failure.

Description: On July 7, 2025, I purchased this vehicle from AutoNation Spring, Texas. At the time of sale, the dealership did not disclose that there was an active safety recall on this vehicle. I only learned of the recall after the purchase, when I checked the VIN through NHTSA’s website. The recall remains open and unresolved as of today’s date. The Arizona AutoNation dealership has had possession of the vehicle for service since shortly after the sale, but no recall repair has been completed. I was never informed at the time of sale that this safety defect existed or that repairs were outstanding. I am concerned that the vehicle was sold in violation of federal and/or state consumer protection laws regarding safety recall disclosures. I request NHTSA’s review and investigation into whether this dealership and manufacturer have complied with all requirements for recall handling and notification. --- Key Points for NHTSA’s File: Date of purchase: July 7, 2025. Selling dealer: AutoNation Spring, Texas. Recall was active at time of sale. Recall was not disclosed to buyer. Vehicle remains in dealership possession with recall still open.

My truck speedometer stopped working while driving 65mph. At the same time, shifting became erratic and unpredictable, causing a very unsafe condition almost causing my truck to lose control. The Check Engine light immediately came on. After diagnostics, the engine code was "P0720 Permanent, Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit." This is a known problem with Ford and Ford recall # 19N01, "Transmission molded leadframe extended coverage." When taken to the dealership, they admitted this was the exact problem that needed to be fixed, but the Recall expired in 2023 so it would now cost me over $1800 to fix the leadframe. I am reporting this because these exact issues are happening to a lot of people even after the Recall has expired. This is a defective part that should be covered by Ford. This recall should be extended. I never got any notices or letters from Ford regarding this problem, probably because I am not the original owner of the truck. I have not uploaded an invoice because the repair has not been completed yet, but I am happy to do this at a later time once the repair is completed.

At about [XXX] [XXX], Tuesday, I was N/B on [XXX] , my speed was approximately 60 mph. All of a sudden, my brakes locked up as if I slammed on by brakes. Although a safe distance behind my, vehicles behind me had to swerve out of my way due to the sudden breaking. After pulling over, I checked the undercarriage, thinking I might have hit something, but everything was clear. Not knowing what had just happened I got back onto the highway and when I reached a speed of approximately 65 mph it did it again causing my truck to swerve into the oncoming lane of traffic. I still didn't know what was going on because there were no physical signs indicating such and no warning lights illuminated. After pulling over once again I called a transmission shop and explained what had just happed and asked if they could look at my truck to see what was going on. They told me it would be about three months before they can get me in, but said they know what exactly had happened. When I asked them to please tell me what had occurred, they told me the transmission suddenly went from 5th gear down to 1st gear due to a "Transmission Molded Lead Frame issue" I had no idea what he was talking about, and he said the fix is a simple one that involved a computer software update. Well, I learned that in 2019 there was a "Customer Satisfaction program" for this issue but the problem is I knew nothing about it and when I purchased the vehicle in 2022, I wasn't told about this. Now, the Ford dealership I took the truck to said the "Customer Satisfaction program" that was issued had expired and I would have to pay for the repair. I'm confused because when I first started researching this issue the Carfax at the time I purchased the vehicle was a "Customer Satisfaction program", and after talking to the Hanford Auto Sales, in California, I purchased the vehicle they said they didn't do anything because it was just a "Customer Satisfaction program".

Truck has 91,200 miles and was well maintained. Truck has a loud rattle (like rocks in a can) on dry start up after sitting for several days. Rattle goes away after starting and is consistent with worn CAM PHASERS, as shown in many videos on the internet describing this known problem with the Ford 3.5L ecoboost engine. Ford issued a customer reimbursement program for repairing this known defect but it does not apply to this vehicle, even though it was built with the defective cam phasers and is showing signs they are destroying themselves, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure. Ford redesigned the cam phasers to a better version after learning of the originally defective design. The repair is very expensive $3k to $5k.

the speed sensor in transmission isn't working properly it shift down to 1st gear as shown in these recalls 19S07,19S19,AND 24S37. IM NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED TO 19N01 in any way but the problem was that its showing on my vin that they conducted a recall 19S07 ON MY 2012 F-150 IN THE Past but then after that there was a 19S19 recalled ADDED because the prior 19s07 didn't work properly or hold up ,so what that meant was they should have made it aware to all vehicles that was performed with this reprogramming recall but they did not send any notification or make available to my f150 especially knowing the reprograming didn't hold up, so I was never granted access or authorization and notified that it need to be re done . also the problem I noticed says its with the software in 19s19 and 19s07 but this seems more like a speed sensor problem that's indicated in 24s37 and that seems to be a hardware issue ,if u look into this issue on line you'll notice the fix for this issue is for the sensor to be replaced in the transmission . I feel that ford should be responsible for the issue with my f150 .

While driving my vehicle speedometer goes to zero which no recognition of speed. If brought to a stop I can’t get out of first gear. Ford issued a “Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01” related to the 6R80 transmissions, Sudden Transmission Downshift. This “Customer Satisfaction” should have been a non expiring recall. The check engine sometimes flicks on but does not stay on or show a code. Issue is intermittent and lasts 10-15 min until vehicle recognizes it’s not incapable of shifting. Given this severely limiting malfunction I highly recommend the recall be extended indefinitely to make sure these vehicles are fixed properly.

On vehicles equipped the R680 six speed transmission, the oil lines break off at the Quick Disconnect to the transmission oil cooler due to metal fatigue. When this happens, it causes 14 quarts of automatic transmission fluid to be pumped out onto the roadway from the front of the vehicle and on the tires and roadway. Several things can happen when this happens. 1. Loss of control resulting in a crash. 2. Vehicle stopping on roadway and unable to continue. 3. Roadway gets covered with oil may cause other vehicles to crash. 4. Enviornmental issues. I am reporting this because it is a problem that is common and should be addressed.

In 2025, the truck began to experience sudden, harsh downshifting while driving, sometimes dropping from 6th gear to 1st without warning. This created a major safety hazard, especially at higher speeds. The problem was diagnosed and confirmed by Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg, West Virginia. They identified the issue as related to the transmission's OSS sensor and PCM programming—consistent with Ford’s CSP 19N01 and TSB 16-0008. The repair was completed at my expense because I was never notified of the CSP, even though I was the legal owner at the time.Before the failure, I experienced intermittent rough shifting and hesitation, but during the major incident, a “Wrench” light appeared on the dashboard, and I suddenly lost power while driving. This happened without warning and created a serious safety risk. That’s what prompted me to take the vehicle in for service, where the issue was linked to the transmission and matched symptoms covered under Ford CSP 19N01.The issue was confirmed by Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg, West Virginia, where all my mechanical work has been performed since I purchased the vehicle from them in 2019. I would like a refund as this is related to a dangerous recall.

I was pulling an empty car trailer in Tow mode when my truck downshifted from 5th gear to 1st gear causing my trailer to fishtail and almost rear ended from a tractor trailer. Then continuing it shifted rear hard to the next gear. Since this first occurrence, it has happened multiple times, which is a major safety issue. I have to pull over immediately, turn off truck, and turn back on to reset the transmission. Until I figured that out, the issue was even more hazardous almost causing accidents for my family, including my grandchildren. Since then, they cannot ride with me. I found out that this is a known issue and covered to 150k miles for Molded Transmission Leadframe Extended Coverage. My issue is that I bought this truck at a Ford dealership in 2018 with 110k miles and have been in the dealership before and was never told about this safety issue and extended coverage. If it’s a known safety issue, why is it not covered beyond 150k miles or 10 years??????? I’m currently in the dealership waiting for an $180 diagnosis which I don’t feel that I should not have to pay. I’m fairly certain, they will charge MUCH more for their recommended fix, which should have all been covered by Ford for this known safety issue. Thanks for your help.

April 2025, my 2013 F150 downshifting to first gear driving about 45 mph almost causing me a serious accident. I contacted my local Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg West Virginia after pulling the code from my Hum to see what it was and was informed that there was a consumer appreciation survey that was mailed out between May 9th and May 15th 2019 that letter went to the previous owner of this VIN number and not addressed to me therefore Greenbrier Ford said that the time had passed and I had to pay $1,300.30 out of my pocket for a safety recall. After picking up the vehicle I was going through my paperwork because Greenbrier Ford has done all mechanical work on my vehicle since I purchased it in April of 2019 in July of 2019 they updated the original downshifting to first gear did not inform me nor did they inform me when I went in in May of 2025 and they updated the recall that had expired in October of 2023 regarding the letter that did not come to me as the owner but to the previous owner. I feel as though Ford should have covered this and I am actively working to get a refund on that money as I see there is a new recall out on this downshifting to first gear I would like to know how I could go about submitting for a refund.

The incident happens while driving home from work. I was on the highway going around 60mph. The vehicle then shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear. My rear tires locked up and the vehicle started to fish tail as it was screeching to a halt. I was able to shift to neutral, maintain control and pull over to the side of the highway. I believe the transmission is the component that malfunctioned. My saftey and the saftey of others was put at risk by the vehicle locking the tires up at highway speeds. I believe if the circumstances had been different, this malfunction could have cause serious injury or death to myself as well as other vehicles around me.

Complete, instant brake failure at only 105871 miles. My wife was backing out of the drive @5 mph, brake pedal pushed clear to floor with no warning. 3-4 minutes later, the brake warning light came on. No warning light ahead of time. Reservoir was very low, I added 12 oz. DOT3 fluid…..brakes seemed ok. Got up the next morning , brake low fluid light is on and all 12 oz of brake fluid are gone, not a drip anywhere to be seen. Called the dealer….basically because our VIN has not been listed in any recall, we are out of luck on any help with repairs. Incident occurred in our drive, my wife was very lucky. Ford has a serious problem. We are the original owner, 2013 with 105871 miles. Vehicle is very excellent condition. If this would have happened on the highway, serious injury or death to us or others would have been very likely. Taking to the dealer on Monday June 9 for a diagnosis and a serious talk. Hopefully after a confirmation of master cylinder failure and leakage into the brake booster (which Ford knows is an issue), they will be able to repair under an expired recall that should have included our 2013 with the 3.5 eco boost engine. Dealer’s service dept. agreed with me over the phone but added not to get my hopes up because Ford did not list every VIN in the recall that they should have included. Interestingly, back in May, Ford notified us by mail, that as still the original owner there had been issues with the master cylinder and booster. If we had a repair done, they would reimburse up to 700.00 if we could provide proof. We have had no issues, nor any repairs, so we threw the notice away. So, a month after the notification from Ford, here we are. I would think the lawsuits are out there somewhere, I would rather not be a part of any of that….this should get Fords prompt attention from a safety standpoint. So we’ll see what happens.

POWER TRAIN

Despite having my powertrain control module "reprogrammed" in 2020 at a Ford dealership located in Bozeman, Montana, pursuant to the recall issued by Ford associated with sudden gear downshift in F150s (2011-2013), my vehicle is now (May 2025) exhibiting the symptoms associated with the failure of the output speed sensor and molded leadframe, related to this same recall. I have been driving at highway speeds in surrounding traffic when my instrument cluster will suddenly show a wrench and my speedometer drops to zero, so I no longer know how fast I am going (four to five occasions over the last week). I am experiencing erratic and hard automatic shifting at all speeds (could create whiplash injury), and on one occasion my vehicle shifted suddenly from 5th gear down into 1st gear while I was driving close to 50 mph, locking the back tires and potentially causing engine damage. Obviously this could cause me to lose control of my vehicle and crash as the sudden downshift is abrupt and locked the rear wheels. Ford issued a "customer satisfaction program" extended warranty related to failure of this molded leadframe. That warranty would cover repairs within 10 years of service or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. My truck is relatively low mileage (under 87,000 miles) for a 12 year old vehicle and based on what I have heard from both the Ford dealership in town and from my other mechanic shop, this is an issue they are seeing commonly. In my opinion, this extended coverage program is woefully inadequate. My vehicle poses a risk to me and my passengers' safety and to surrounding drivers and I should not be liable for the cost of these repairs because there is clearly a known and acknowledged problem. Ford has extended recalls to certain other years and models with the same issue, now having their repairs to make their vehicles safe covered while I am expected to pay out of pocket for Ford's bad and unsafe design.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The faulty output shaft speed sensor (OSS) causes a signal loss between the sensor and the powertrain control module (PCM), leading to a sudden downshift into first gear, regardless of the vehicle's speed. This sudden downshift can cause the rear tires to slide, potentially leading to a loss of control and an increased risk of a crasH. There is already a recall for the 2014 Models and my 2013 is having the exact same issue. This has been an ongoing problem since I bought the truck in December 2024

Safety issue. Engine code P0720 which means the output speed sensor sends erratic signals to the power train module or PCM. There is a recall on this truck for this exact thing. What happens is the gears in the transmission don’t shift smoothly and what happened to me was I was driving 70mph all of sudden the truck made a loud bang and I was in 6th gear and the truck went from being in 6th gear just dropped into 1st gear and at 70mph it’s pretty frightening. The brakes locked up and i managed to stay calm and regain control of the vehicle and pull over. Immediately I seen a big yellow wrench on the dashboard along with the check engine light so I turned it off and restarted it thinking maybe the computer will reset. The truck is literally stuck in like 3rd or 4th gear because I can’t go past 40 mph. I was only 5 mins away from home as soon as I got home I use my code machine and the engine code I received was P0720. I contacted my Larsen Ford in Lakewood NJ they informed me about the recall but told me that they’re not paying for any repairs because it’s past 10 years. It ended in January of 2024. I didn’t buy the truck until July 2024 I had no idea about any recalls. I’m not the original owner. I just assumed since it’s a safety issue that the manufacturer must be responsible for all repairs regardless of how long it’s been. I bought the truck with only 38,000 miles on it presently it has 40,000 miles on it now but I don’t think it’s fair that I have to pay for everything to be fixed myself.

First, as I was driving, my mileage odometer was glitching showing dashes "------", also notice that my check engine light came on and as a result the airbag off warning was showing as well. As a result of all this, seems that the vehicle malfunction as my vehicle was in "limp mode" while all of this was happening and when pressing the gas no acceleration was happening (mind you that was all happening in heavy traffic). After moving steadily and avoiding heavy traffic, I parked my vehicle to the side and turn it on and off. This seems to restart the system however my check engine was still on. After further research on this issue, I see that this is a known issue that happens with the model of my vehicle. After calling the dealership with my issue, they state it is a customer program rather than a recall. I beg NHTSA to please supplement this known issue and instead of 10 years, please use the 150K mileage. I cannot be driving with this unsafe issue as it was a scary issue that happen during traffic.

I just purchased this Truck [XXX] and Just started experiencing issues tied to this “recall” today ([XXX]) as the truck would not start and the message came stating put in park to start, which it was. I called the local Ford dealership and they set up a mobile visit to clear the 19S19 recall then said that it was not tied to the leadframe issue and i would have to pay out of pocket. The dealer, Palmetto Ford in Charleston, SC told me that they could not fix the ongoing recall on this vehicle (19S19) and told me to contact local dealer. The 19N01 recall is ongoing through the country from what i am starting to read and don't think it is fair that Ford knowing this problem still exist wants to charge almost $2000 to get it fixed now when they were once doing it for free. Why did it expire in 2023, when they knew this was going to continue to happen? I am hoping the NHTSA can get the 19N01 recall back into effect as they need to be accountable for their flaws.

I have always owned a ford truck. I recently have poured over $7k recently on typical maintenance and normal wear repairs. Not a big deal since I love my truck and I take good care of it. I have a 2013 F150 4x4 and my vin is part of the “customer satisfaction” recall. I purchased my truck used from an actual dealership (Mercedes Benz) but I also paid $3,000 at that time for a Premier Protection plan. (Used only once for the water pump). In the past 3.5 years I’ve had this truck I have only driven it 30k miles and it currently has 116k miles on it. It is very well maintained and serviced. Recently the truck went into limp mode while I was driving on the freeway and I almost flipped the vehicle with my toddler also in the vehicle and it was raining. It was the most scariest experience I’ve ever had driving. I want this issue resolved and Ford needs to stand by its product. This is ridiculous. The wrench light of death illuminated when this incident occurred. I called the local dealer and they laughed at me over the phone and basically told me it’s not a safety issue and it’s expired. This is not acceptable and I will be contacting the local news media outlets and I will be reaching out as far as taking legal recourse over what is clearly a massive safety issue. I purchased vehicle in 2021 and vehicle just started having the issue two years after the fix for free from dealer expired.

I had to tow it home from there bc the transmission would then be stuck in 5th gear and randomly shift to 2nd with a bad jerking motion. My local ford dealership told me the recall has expired for my truck?!?!?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a serious and potentially life-threatening safety issue with my 2013 Ford F-150. I recently experienced a sudden and dangerous failure while driving on the freeway, which nearly caused a major accident. After doing some research, I discovered that this issue was previously addressed under a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program, but the coverage period has since expired. This is a common and well-documented issue among 2013 F-150 owners, and it is unacceptable that Ford has not issued a full recall. Just because the program has expired does not mean the risk has. In my case, the issue escalated to a near-death situation, and I’m extremely concerned that this will happen to someone else—if it hasn't already. I urge NHTSA to investigate this further and hold Ford accountable. There is no reason such a serious safety defect should go unresolved simply because the time window has closed. A dangerous defect is still dangerous, regardless of the date. Please let me know what steps I can take to further assist with this report or if you need additional documentation. I hope this can help prevent future tragedies. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] VIN: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2013 Ford F-150 started demonstrating operational transmission issues in October 2024. I took the vehicle to a local transmission shop and they advised the issue, a defective molded lead frame in the 6R80 transmission, was actually covered under a Ford safety recall (#19S07) which was issued prior to that date. I subsequently had my truck towed to Sarasota Ford (Sarasota, Florida) where it sat for several months. In January 2025, I was notified my truck was being brought in for evaluation. After several delays (i.e.-dead battery, incorrect recall, etc.) my truck was diagnosed. While the service techs were able to duplicate the transmission failure (stuck in 1st gear, wrench displayed on dash display, speedometer and odometer stop working), they claimed they were not able to obtain the needed diagnostic codes. After several more weeks of attempting to work with Ford's corporate office to find a solution, I colllected my truck from Sarasota Ford on January 31, 2025. Six r, days later, I delivered my truck to Vic's Performance Transmission and Automotive Inc. (1201 11th St E Palmetto FL 34221). Within two to three hours, the staff at Vic's Transmission were able to diagnose my truck as having a faulty transmission molded lead frame. They made the repair within a few days and my vehicle has been operational since then. On February 19, 2025, I mailed a letter outlining greater detail of the aforementioned events and requested assistance from the President of the Ford Customer Service Division. To date, I have not received any correspondence or reply mail from Ford. I am requesting your assistance with addressing this matter. As a loyal Ford customer of 30+ years, I think I deserve corrective action. I attempted to resolve the matter myself, with not response from corporate, I have moved on to my only option. The recall (#19S07) was there, yet Ford failed to act or respond appropriately. I only seek reimbursement of the money spent to repair my truck. Thank you.

I was driving at about 65-70mph. The yellow wrench light came on. My spedometer went to zero and my digital screen went blank. I exited the road and restarted the truck. Everything seemed to be operating properly so I got back on the road. I got back up to 65-70mph and then heard a loud bang from the engine and my back tires locked up. I was able to exit the highway safely and called a tow truck. 1. Powertrain, vehicle was repaired 25Mar25. No I do not have any of the old parts. Disposed of by dealership. 2. Easily could have caused an accident. I was very lucky. 3. Dealership confirmed the problem and installed new tech. Adaptive transmission system. 4. We paid cash. As there was no accident or injuries, no police report was necessary. 5. Yellow wrench light appeared on the instrument display, then spedometer went to zero even though I was traveling 65-70mph. Additionally, my main digital display went blank (not the radio/nav display). This was the first time any of these symptoms happened. Although my 2103 is not within the Ford recall window for this identified issue, it is quite clear that this is incredibly similar, if not exactly the same safety problem.

This is in regard to the current investigation concerning the transmission downshifting unexpectedly. My 2013 F-150 has done the same thing several times since I bought it new. Fortunately I was not driving at a high speed but each time lower than around 35 MPH. It has a 6 speed auto transmission and would drop down into 1st or 2nd gear and show it's in tow/haul. Also sometimes when I first start to drive it, the transmission is in tow/haul when I never selected that. I notice when I hear the engine rpm high and notice I don't have good pickup speed. To remedy both issues I push the button in on the gearshift lever and it immediately starts to work properly. I have reported this to the Ford dealership maintenance representative a couple times but they said they never heard of any trucks doing this. Nothing was ever done about it. I continue to drive it and have 138,000 miles on it. I'm letting you know this because according to what I am reading, 2013 models are not included in the investigation.

I had the transmission issue that's been reported of downshifting to 1st gear will traveling at speeds around 65 mph and recalled on F150 trucks, but for some reason my truck was never under recall so I had to pay $5700 for a new transmission before it killed me. If I had the same issue that has been recalled, why wasn't I covered under the recall?

Truck has been thrown into limp mode multiple times with codes P0720 and P0722 being thrown per OBD scanner. Turning the truck off and on gets rid of the wrench and check engine light and allows the transmission to work normally again. The first two times were on acceleration, months apart. It now does this consistently at highway speeds so I am unable to take it on busy roads, the last time I was on the interstate I was going below traffic speed with hazards on until the exit because the truck slowed from 80 to 40. It couldn't get up the ramp after pulling off so I took side roads home. As far as I can tell this is associated with customer satisfaction program 19N01 and Ford sold these trucks with a faulty lead frame. The truck is 12 yrs 120k miles instead of the 10 yr 100k warranty Ford offered for this part specifically, I don't see how the age makes a difference if Ford has admitted to using faulty parts in the transmission already

Three times in the past couple of weeks, my vehicle has lost power at high speed. Once when I was trying to merge and again while just driving at high speed and giving it gas to avoid a situation in front of me. The first time it happened, the gauges in the fuel economy mode screen stopped working, including the speedometer, giving the vehicle Gas did nothing but rev the engine up like it was in neutral. I coasted to a parking lot on my trucks own forward momentum, shut the vehicle off restarted the vehicle. The gauges were working again, and the transmission seemed to be working as well. The second time it happened to me was while I was driving and it did the exact same thing, but I did not have to pull over to restart the vehicle. It started working again suddenly, at that time, the gauges were working. My husband was on the highway trying to pass another vehicle when he gave it gas, the truck suddenly lost all power, the transmission sounded like it was in neutral revving up due to giving it gas. Then just as suddenly it slammed really hard back into gear with a loud boom, so hard in fact, he thought he was hit from behind and was jerked forward in the vehicle violently. I contacted the dealership who works on our car and was told without a check engine light or a code there’s nothing they can do but to bring it there when it does that. The problem occurs intermittently and corrects before we can get to the dealership. I told the Ford dealership about the recall on the six speed transmission, 19S07, and was told that recall was taken care of in 2019 at Auffenburg Ford where we bought the vehicle. What is going on now is exactly the description of that recall, but because there are no active recalls for my vehicle the dealership does not want to even look at the vehicle. I and my husband or another driver could have been killed with high speed power loss like this. How do I get this recall re-added so the dealership will do something before a fatality?

Three Vehicles behind me had to slam on their brakes and swerve around me to avoid rear ending me. When the vehicles transmission dropped gears rapidly, at the same time I got a gear wrench symbol across my cluster display, and I lost functionality of the vehicles mph gauge and gas gauge. The fasten seatbelt light was also on but no audible warning tone was heard.. The vehicle also lost acceleration power. I was able to get the vehicle home and turned the car on and off and everything went back to normal. This is an intermittent issue with no warning when it will happen. There was a recall from ford for a programming issue with the tranny and currently a CSP with campaign #19N01 for a Transmission molded leadframe extended coverage. Basically the lead frame needs to be replaced to correct the problem which is 4,000 to 6,000 dollars. Ford will not fix my lead frame because I am past certain dates and over the mileage by 2,200 miles. I also needed to be displaying symptoms and the code for ford to fix the issue if I was within dates and mileage. I didn’t display any codes or symptoms until I was 2,200 miles over the CSP warranty coverage. I also just bought the truck in September of 2024 and was not aware of this issue.
