Ford needs to recall and fix the 2013 f150s with the 6r80 transmission as well. It shouldn't be on the road has the same shifting issues the 2014 does and instead of fixing the recalls on all trucks they closed
About 3 weeks ago, I had come to a stop, and then when I hit the accelerator to come from the stop sign, the "check-engine" light came up, my odometer & speedometer seemed to stop working; additionally, I felt that the vehicle wasn't accelerating. When I arrived home, I turned off & then the vehicle back on; and everything since then seems to have been working. I have taken it too the dealership to see if they can determine this issue, and after 5 days, I still don't have an answer. But I did just notice the 2014 F150 recall, regarding faulty transmission, that was reported on, on June 25th; it seems very similar to what happened to my 2013 F150
2013 f150 truck wouldn-??t get out of first gear from stop light, wrench light came on, speed odometer stayed at 0 miles. Took to ford dealership to have recall 19S07 done and was told this would not fix it, (needed a fix that was no longer offered bc I-??m past 10 years mark) they did the recall and now the truck jerks when shifting gears and downshifts to first from any speed

The truck I have is known to have a problem with the lead frame ford issued a recall on this vehicle however my vehicle was never fixed at all they just have it marked as no open recall and they are telling me that the vehicle is no longer covered by the warranty on the recall due to a time lapse and mileage being over. This vehicle was affected by this recall and it is a safety recall yet the vehicle was never properly fixed for this and it has ongoing issues that have to do with this recall.
This has now happened countless times. The truck will be in a gear, as I naturally speed up, the transmission will jerk and the truck will get stuck in the following gear. The truck will then be stuck in that gear and will not downshift. A big wrench light comes on, then turns off about 10 seconds later. In addition, the odometer lists dashes (---,---), no mileage measures. The speedometer stays at 0 mph even when driving in the stuck gear. Another light stays on, I think it is the airbag image. Everything stays as is until I turn off the truck. Once I turn off and turn back on, everything goes back to normal. I've taken the truck to Ford, but because there are no "check engine" lights and there are no codes, Ford will not cover. My mechanic has confirmed (without any codes) that the recall is TSB16-0008, which was issued in March 2019. Since my truck is showing no codes, and my truck is over 10 years old, Ford says they will not cover. This is extremely concerning. If the truck downshifts on the highway, or refuses to downshift when needed, I could be in a serious accident. As mentioned, this has now occurred countless times.
Interior of rear window unexpectedly shattered while backing out of the driveway. Pieces of glass flew onto the back seat, fortunately no one was sitting in the rear of the truck at the time.
I was driving on the highway going 70MPH in 6th gear. Myself, my wife, and my 6th month old son were on our way to a doctors appointment when in the middle lane on the highway my truck decided to completely downshift into 1st gear. With doing so my truck locked up and I lost control of the vehicle almost colliding with a semi. I was very lucky to not have wrecked and got onto the shoulder safely where I had no power to my vehicle. I got it towed to a dealership and after paying out of pocket for a diagnostic they found that my truck had a recall with the oss sensor on the transmission witch caused significant engine and transmission damage resulting in $18,000 to fix. Apparently the warranty expires 10 years or 150k miles which my truck has surpassed both. I wasn-??t warned about any recall or found any recall there was no damage or signs of damage to the truck prior to this incident.
Our speedometer stopped working and wrench light would come on. When driving the gears would shift to 5th. It happened really bad on the highways several times where we had to pullover for a good 20 minutes. Started happening a little over a month ago. They had my truck in the shop for 2 weeks We've had it looked at and fixed and they said it was the recall on 2011-2012 ford's f1-50s and some 2013 Ford f1-50s but we got charged for it.
While driving on the highway at approximately 70 mph, with my child in the car, the vehicle suddenly shifted into first gear causing the wheels to skid and the vehicle to stop in moving traffic. Luckily, I was able to get to the side for safety, but this could have been so much worse. When I called dealership they stated there was no recalls for this problem. Also, the vehicle is now in need of repair, I would presume as a result of the engine being shifted into 1st gear while traveling at highway speeds.
I believe the power train is defaulting. It is available for someone to look at if they come to us, as it is not drivable. The safety of my family and other drivers on the road is at high risk, as the truck shuts off while driving at any given moment without warning. The problem has been ongoing ever since we had the transmission software recall issue, "fixed." We have taken the truck back to the Ford manufacturer, Airport Ford in Florence, Kentucky, twice, with no help of getting the issue resolved. The wrench light came on before the problem started. We looked into that by taking it to Airport Ford in florence Kentucky. The issue is still ongoing and we are currently no longer driving the vehicle as it will no longer stay running. This has been going on since we had the truck fixed due to a recall notice we received in 2019 or 2020. I would love to keep the truck and have the issue resolved as it is the only vehicle we own.
Diagnosed by local goodyear service. The leadframe on transmission need replacing. Truck randomly shuts off, shifts wrong & dash lights are weird. Ford dealer says not a recall & truck is too old for extended warranty. Ford customer service says the same. And this isnt a safely issue?! Dealer says $700+ to fix. Just spent nearly $1800 to fix a broken leaf spring - in the middle layer of the spring - & truck has never been overloaded - Ford Company would not tell me if that had a recall because it was not diagnosed by dealer. It was rubbing on 1 of new tires good thing we did not have a blowout!
My speakers when they were working would make a ear piercing static output that would last a few seconds. It was very dangerous while I was driving bc it would scar me enough to jump. After about the 5th time, the speakers and radio no longer worked.
The defective part is the Transmission molded leadframe, their was a recall issued on Truck which I was not told until the problem occurred when I drivinh the truck I have taken truck in and told them the issue on the Transmission which I looked up and found the recall we contacted Ford Motor Company back in March 2023 and was told a letter would be sent to me for this recall to be done which I never received I contacted them again after I was told it would take 6 weeks to receive letter for the repair and was told the recall expired, this recall should of been fixed before truck was sold to me, I have tried to get this resolved it is not safe to drive the truck without this part being replaced, the engine light came on I took it in to Ford and had it checked and was told a recall was on the truck, it wasn't repaired and nothing has been resolved. Now they have said it would cost me $2000 to be replaced which was suppose to be replaced with the recall.
My truck will randomly start driving in third gear or shift to third gear while driving and stick. It will also hard shift from third to fourth. There have been few instances where it downshifted to first gear.
On my way to work I turned on the rear defrost and heard a loud bang after 15 minutes. I pulled over to see what had happened and the read driver side windshield pain had shattered. it remained in the laminate but I got a replacement quote and its almost $1000 dollars. After doing research this is a major problem with the defrost mechanism on these trucks with no known fix. I'm glad it stayed in take but the glass is continuously cracking as I drive and i cannot get the repair done until Thursday and the dealer said they can do nothing except replace the glass and hope it doesn't happen again.
