Cruise Control problems of the 2011 Ford F-150

The cruise control does not work because of a censor either up by the steering colum or the censor by the master cylinder under the hood ! it's about a $150. 00 fix but I just got this truck and started driving it so I was shocked when I was having problems so early!! for a average person that is not much but for me I live in disability it sure takes the money away from food I was going to buy so it's a hardship. I love the truck and it's great but it's hard for me to get it fixed because I rely on the cruise control to keep the same speed when going down the highway . Please if there is anything you can do please let me know including sending me the part and I'll put it on it's the cruise control sensor under the hood by the master cylinder. It release so the truck will slow down when the cruise control is turned off . Please and thank you. Have a blessed day james d zahorsky po bx 63 aline oklahoma 73716 phone 580-884-0885 again thank you for your time . It's just hard for everyone right now . I know if I had the part I could fix it in 30 minutes! thank you sir or man I have talked to a lot of people and they said they are having the same problem as I am . I hope you can just send me the part if I need to buy it I sure will I'll send the money as soon as I get the part ! please and thank you I really need your help I just don't have the cash until I get paid. Thank you again so much james d zahorsky.

After receiving recall 19s07-19v-075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake Ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. My vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3. 7 flex fuel. I was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. The cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. The problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. Way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model. Never off-roaded . Not a work truck. Never even towed anything. Since that downhill cruise control problem occurred, now I have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . Vehicle has never overheated. Low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. Cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. Did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?.

We were merging onto the highway outside of st. Louis mo and when the accelerator was fully depressed the engine started to misfire and power was reduced. A blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard. It seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air. There was a pronounced vibration to the vehicle that seemed to originate from the engine/drive train. Luckily there as not a lot of traffic at the time and our poor acceleration did not result in an accident. My solution was to manually select the gears and drive at much higher rpm. This smoothed the misfire and we had an adequate amount of power to keep up with traffic. After about 10 minutes everything smoothed out and the misfire was gone. Truck behavior returned to normal. The weather that day was a pleasant 60 degrees and sunny. The previous day we drove from central ohio to st. Louis through much rain and fog. Since we were on vacation and away from home we did not take the truck to a dealer to be serviced. The problem has not occurred since then. There was one previous occurrence at a previous date. I don't know exactly when it was. We were traveling home to vt from ohio. We had been driving for many hours, mostly on highway/cruise control driving. We had just gotten off the interstate highway and were on state highway. I went to pass a slower vehicle in my lane and upon depressing the accelerator the engine seemed to misfire (rpm went up but power delivery fell flat). I stepped off the gas pedal and slowly pressed a second time and this time the truck responded as expected. There was no cel this time. Each of these incidents occurred with my entire family in the vehicle. We were not very happy about it and did not feel safe at the time.
