THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AS A SLOW RATE OF SPEED 20-35 MPH. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH. THE TRANSMISSION RECEIVES NO POWER AND THE TRUCK WILL ONLY COAST FORWARD . IMMEDIATE SOLUTION IS TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. THE TRUCK THEN HAS POWER. THE PROBLEM MAY REPEAT ITSELF WITHIN MILES OR IT MAY NOT REPEAT FOR DAYS/WEEKS. THIS HAPPEN 18 MONTHS AGO, 4 MONTHS AGO, AND 2 DAYS AGO.

I RECENTLY LOOKED UP ANY RECALLS INVOLVED WITH MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST THAT CAME UP WAS THE TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR F150 OF MY YEAR. TO BE HONEST I ONLY LOOKED IT UP BECAUSE MY TRUCK SHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 1ST WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS LEAVING A GOLF COURSE AND THE TRUCK WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 3RD AND BACK TO 1ST AGAIN. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING CRAZY ON BOTH OCCURRENCES, JUMPING 20MPH AT SOME POINTS WHILE I KNOW I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES AT LOW CITY STREET SPEEDS.

WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT HAS BEGUN TO RIDE CHOPPY WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 40-MPH AND 60-MPH. THE CHOPPY PERFORMANCE GOES AWAY WHEN HARD ACCELERATING (PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR) AT THOSE SPEEDS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN CONTINUOUSLY DOING THIS AT 60-MPH. THE TRUCK STARTS TO LOSE POWER AND DOES NOT SHIFT, NOR RIDE SMOOTHLY AT THE SPEEDS; THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHIMMY. THIS HAS MAINLY OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAYS, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS HIGHER, BUT THE PROBLEMS HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON SIDE STREETS. IT OCCURS ONLY WHEN ACCELERATING, NOT IN DECELERATION.

2011 FORD F-150 LARIAT 5.0. 132,000 MILES. 16N02 ' MOLDED LEADFRAME EXTENDED COVERAGE ' 2011-2012 FORD & LINCOLN. MY F-150 BUILT IN JANUARY 2011 AT KANSAS CITY ASSEMBLY IS NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE DUE TO THE RANGE OF MONTHS COVERED IN 2011. MY TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED WHILE DRIVING.THE WRENCH INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY GO INTO 5TH GEAR AFTER I STOPPED AND CYCLED THE KEY. WHEN DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LIMP MODE, IT DOWNSHIFTED AGAIN AND WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. DEALER IS REPLACING THE LEAD FRAME, ELECTRICAL SLEEVE, AND THE NECESSARY FILTER, FLUID, AND PAN GASKET. THEY ADMIT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE TSB BUT I AM NOT COVERED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNWILLING TO HELP. LUCKY FOR ME THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ON A BACK ROAD CLOSE TO HOME. IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CURRENT COVERAGE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. FORD SHOULD NOT BE MAKING MONEY IN THE SERVICE LANE OFF THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T JUST FEEL THAT MYSELF AND OTHERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. I KNOW WE SHOULD.

OUR FORD F150 HAS MANIFESTED SEVERAL DANGEROUS FACTORY MALFUNCTIONS AS OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. THERE ARE AT LEAST 4 FORD RECALLS / CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM EXTENSIONS THAT OUR TRUCK SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO BUT ISN'T. WE NEED HELP WITH GETTING FORD TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRING OUR VEHICLE UNDER AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING RECALLS: ' RECALL NUMBER 16V24800 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ' RECALL NUMBER 11V582000 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ' RECALL NUMBER 12V190000 POWER TRAIN: AUTO TRANS: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) ' RECALL NUMBER 10V659000 STRUCTURE BODY (INTERNAL SHORT / FIRE HAZARD) ' CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM WARRANTEE EXTENSION 16S19 WE ARE FORCED TO KEEP OUR TRUCK OFF THE ROAD UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD A FEW THOUSAND TO REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE, LEAD FRAME AND POSSIBLY TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTS INTO LOWER GEARS WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 20-55 MILES PER HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO HESITATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING. IT SIMULTANEOUSLY MAKES A 'HONK' SOUND. THERE WERE A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO PARK WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS OR IT SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHEN I INTENDED TO GO INTO DRIVE. CLEARLY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VACUUM PUMP POSE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARDS TO OUR FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP IN GETTING FORD TO EXTEND SOME OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTEES AND RECALLS TO OUR FORD F150 SO THAT WE COULD RETURN TO USING OUR FAMILY/WORK TRUCK SAFELY. WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY GOOD ADVICE OR HELP THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO OFFER.
