fuse 27 is a safety issue when it fails on the road in traffic. so, you want to wait till someone dies. do the right thing and force ford to issue safety recall. 1 death is to much. no issue with my truck as of now. i don't want issues with this ongoing problem.

It was a really cold night. My niece got in my truck in the passenger side back door. When we got to the grocery store 10 minutes later, that door refused to open. When I hit the lock/unlock button, it didn't even sound like it engaged at all in that door panel. The manual lock could neither be pushed down or pulled up. As soon as it got warm out again, the door opened and the locking mechanism worked just fine.
I am getting a P0299 code truck and according to research, this is something to do with the Turbo. It is causing my truck to lose power while driving. I have had it parked since then.
Driving down residential street about 100 yards from my driveway and power steering completely failed. Dashboard message says steering assist fault. Luckily school hadn't let out yet so there weren't any kids running around. I was able to get the truck in my drive safely. I am having it towed to certified repair garage. Safety first. I've learned that this is a fairly common issue and that it can happen at highway speeds. Not cool Ford. Do better.

This was a previous complaint: WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I NOTICED MY DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR DISPLAY WAS IN 5TH WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. WHEN I ACCELERATED, ALL OF SUDDEN, THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AND EVERYTHING ON THE DIGITAL DISPLAY APPEARED AS (---). THE TRUCK COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I DROVE THE TRUCK TO A SAFE AND LOCATION, WITH THE TRUCK BARELY ACCELERATING. I PARKED AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE. THE DIGITAL ELECTRONIC GEAR WAS IN THE 3RD GEAR. MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I WENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED AND THE TROUBLE CODE CAME BACK AS P0720 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY RISK. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY TRUCK MAY ALL OF SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE A NEWBORN CHILD AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY NEWBORN. I PURCHASE MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND I ONLY HAVE APPROX 83,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AS OF TODAY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. SOME VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THIS TIME MAY BEEN LEFT OFF THIS RECALL. I FIRMLY BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS LEFT OFF THE RECALL LIST. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL SIMILAR TO MY INCIDENT BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. AS OF 3/24/2022, A FEW YEARS BACK MY TRUCK WAS SUPPOSEDLY INVOLVED IN A RECALL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKING TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SOFTWARE UPDATED. SINCE THEN THE TRUCK HAS REPEATDLY HAD THE SAME INCIDENTS TO OCCUR SINCE THE SUPPOSEDLY SOFTWARE UPDATE. IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS THE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURING FREQUENTLY. ON TODAY (3/24/2022) THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN WHICH I ALMOST FLIPPED MY TRUCK OVER. I ALSO HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AND HE WAS TERRIFIED. I WAS TERRIFIED AS WELL. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 112780 MILES AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN FEAR WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK.
I was driving about 8-0 mph when I heard a loud bang! Thought someone had crash my Truck but only to find out My rear window shattered! Doing my research I found out it was from the rear defrost malfunction that cause it! On top of that O read over 100 complaints on the same thing!! I also been having problems with my truck since I got it! Landers South I-??m SOUTHAVEN MS on Goodman Rd! They have had my truck more then a then Five times since I purchased the Truck and I was told it was a Good truck and have been fully inspected!!! Which later I found out it was only had a safety check which also was false! Please Help!!!
Vehicle speedometer stopped working, the total mileage indicator read all dashes -??- - - - - --?? and the transmission was shifting to the wrong gear. For example from a stop the truck would immediately be in fifth gear. The yellow wrench indicator came on briefly and then went away. I turned the truck off then on again and the problem went away and I made it home. Today I took the car to get the safety recall completed, and on my way home the car speedometer stopped working again and I was not able to accelerate while I was making a left turn. This left me stranded in the middle of the intersection and I had to restart the car and the problem went away. I asked the dealer if they would look into the lead frame extended warranty and they would not honor the coverage because I am at 155,000 miles and the coverage ends at 150,000 miles and because it is a 10 year coverage but my car was manufactured 10 years and 3 months ago. The recall did not fix my issue and the vehicle is not safe to drive. The issue is however intermittent and I am a college student who must commute 1hour away to attend the university. I don-??t feel safe driving the vehicle, there was one point when the car down shifted rapidly and caused my car to jerk to a stop. I was only going 15 miles per hour so it was not too dangerous. Please help. The recall software update is all they were willing to help me with. Although the problem still persists.
My vehicle has had (3) random occurances of the transmission shifting into a high gear and basically leaving my truck unresponsive when I am in traffic. For example, on the most recent occurrence, which occurred on 8/31/2021, I pulled out onto a street and my truck would not accelerate whatsoever, leaving me in a very dangerous situation as traffic was coming both ways on the street and I had no power. The vehicle did not display any check engine lights, the speedometer stopped working, and the mileage on the odometer disappeared. After stopping the vehicle, turning the key to the off position, and restarting the vehicle, the problem goes away as the gauges on the dash begin working again and the truck shifts and has power as normally would be expected. I called my Ford dealership about this safety problem as well as Ford customer service and was told my vehicle is one month outside of an extended warranty program provided by Ford, Ford Satisfaction Program 19N01. I don't understand how this issue is not a safety recall as the issue causes the truck to totally lose power, and not dash lights or warnings are displayed to let the driver know there is a problem. If the lose of power and transmission miss-shifting occurs on a highway it could cause a deadly situation to take place. The problem has not been able to be reproduced repeatedly by myself and is not confirmed by an independent service center. The transmission and gauge issue is totally random and seems to go away after the vehicle is restarted with the key. I do have a video on my phone showing the speedometer not reading, the odometer going to dashes. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance reps or others. I feel like Ford needs to issue a 100% safety recall for this issue and not try to disguise the issue with an earlier recall which modified the vehicles software. People's lives are at danger with this transmission issue.
While in a parking lot I started the engine and put it in gear with my foot on the brake. After a moment or 2 the RPM came up and the tires were squealing. I then shifted to neutral and the RPM slowed. I then shifted to drive and drove to an exit. While waiting for a break in traffic with my foot on the brake the same thing happened. The RPM came up and the rear tires were trying to spin. I shifted to neutral until I could move, and shifted to drive and joined the traffic. There was no problems with speed control while driving in traffic.
My transmission is downshifting on its on when driving home without changing gears. I have to shut it off and wait before I can drive it again. I was in the flow of traffic when this happens and it is very scary. And it continues so I'm unable to drive it because it's to dangerous.
Had a recall on my 2011 F150. I took it and got it fix for the 12C23 A/T range sensor and its still doing that same things, it goes into reverse but want immediate on the dash of my F150 and this condition increases the rick of a crash or someone being hit because the truck isn't signaling it's in reverse. So the time I took my truck in to get this problem fixed it didn't fix the issue and when I get in reverse and back out, I have to put truck in park and cut to rest it because if not the truck will not shift gears. I took it back to Ford and was going to charge me $2800 for lead frame and cpm
