On 10/1/22whike driving my 2011 Ford F-150 eco boost with a130 k miles the service advancetrac warning came on along with turn signals not working and the electronic power assist failure warning came on and stayed on . This is a well documented issue with 2011-2014 f150s especially 2011 model because this is the first year cord changed to electronic power steering,the issue almost caused me to wreck while taking the on ramp curve to interstate 10 in port arthur TX . The hundreds of thousands to millions of complaints on this safety issue and the lack of Ford not addressing it on the first year this electronic power steering was offered needs to be taken care of by Ford . This is extremely dangerous. It makes no sense for them to have a TSB on this issue on models 4 years after they started offereing epas on the same body style and not on the first year it was offered. Plese address this with Ford motor company before someone is killed due to this safety issue.

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?.

When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on. I am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle. Reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup. However dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift. I am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning "transmission range sensor". My vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however I am informed by the local Ford dealership that my VIN number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by Ford. I have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that Ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.

In 2016 I went to get recall repaired from franklin TN dealership I purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from Ford, online in emails to another dealer, I have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in TN. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and I have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed Ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
