I have had numerous brake issues on my 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. One repair was done in the warranty period and 2-3 were not. This vehicle had less than 81,000 miles on it when all of this work was done. It was recently repaired and still isn’t solved. I’ve had two major accidents where my vehicle rear ended other vehicles because of its failure to immediately stop on braking. The dealership can’t solve the problem or don’t know how and I’m afraid to continue to drive this unsafe vehicle.

9/16/22 My wife was driving about 50 mph when the transmission suddenly shifted into 1st gear causing the rear end of the truck to slide sideways and hit a curb. The force of the collision with the curb caused the right rear tire to blow out and my wife was left with bruises from the seatbelt. The was no warning prior to the incident. The truck was at the dealership on 7/13/22 for a recall for this same problem, they flashed the PCM and said that would fix the problem. I have since brought it back to the dealership they said the lead frame speed sensor in the transmission needs to be replaced and that is not covered by the recall and would cost over $2000. I also called Ford to report the incident Case # [XXX]. Ford stated this was normal wear and tear and they would not cover the repair.

I'm not lying when I say the vehicle started going faster and faster when I didn't hit the gas pedal. The brakes wouldn't work!

WE FOUND OUT RECALL AFTER ACCIDENT LAST YEAR - WHEN TURNING - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED LOCKED, VEHICLE SKID AND CAUSED ACCIDENT. WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY INSURANCE, WE TOLD THEM WAS NOT OUR FAULT. WE HAD TO PAY DEDUCTIBLE AND OUT OF POCKE TO TRY TO REPLACE VEHICLE. NOW SAME VEHICLE IS ALSO UNDER SAME RECALL.

TWO PROBLEMS: I) FROM A STOP, SUCH AS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE INSTRUCTION LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, YIELD (BEFORE MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY), STOP SIGN, PARKING SPOT, ETC, THE TRUCK ATTEMPTS TO START MOVING FORWARD IN 5TH GEAR. THE TRUCK DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD UNLESS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN 5TH GEAR. II) MORE CONCERNING IS THAT THE TRUCK DECIDES TO DOWNSHIFT INAPPROPRIATELY (E.G. IT SHOULD UPSHIFT OR STAY IN GEAR, BUT DOWNSHIFTS ERRATICALLY CALLING). THIS LEADS TO STOPPING SHORT AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BUCK. IT RESULTS IN ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PRESENTS A HORRIBLE RISK TO DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. HAD TO PULL OFF SIDE OF ROAD OVER A CURB CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND ALMOST A HEART ATTACK! I HAVE 68,000 MILES ON A TRUCK THAT SHOULD LAST FOR AT LEAST DOUBLE THAT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BABIED AND WELL-MAINTAINED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THIS IS SAD THAT FORD WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITH KNOWN ISSUES.
