general problems of the 2012 Ford F-150 - part 2

My f150 would jump out of gear at random time, I can be turning on to the highway or just been riding along then the next thing you know im being jerked with other vehicles around me. Ive notice the odometer gauge zeros out. I can pull off the road and shut the truck off for a few minutes and it drives like nothing as happened.

Truck was going 75 down 127 downshifted to second gear would not go out of second gear very dangerous local Ford would not repair there are 2 safety field service actions out on this truck number 15n05 electric vacuum pump and number 19n01 transmission molded lead frame extended coverage for up to 150,00 according to a letter by NHTSA I have recieved after purchasing the truck.

Ford refusing to fix field service action transmission molded lead frame extended coverage number 19n01 truck shifted down to second gear stayed stuck. There is a recall up to 150,000 miles I have 138,000 found this out ;local Ford dealer screwing me over saying not their issues I founs a NHTSA letter saying other wise also a electrical vacuum pump extended repair number 15n05 causing truck to stall going down roead.

Engine accelerates by itself when I turn it on or if I'm at a red light or as soon as I put it in drive.

My transmission sticks in one gear, shifts very hard, and down shifts unexpectedly. There is a recall for this, but Ford has not started to fix this problem. It is causing additional damage to my vehicle the more I drive it. The recall was started in febuary of 2019.

Takata recall- I just got my 2012 f150 and I really like the truck but everytime I drive it and im slowing down it all suddently shifts down real hard , I try to avoid it to shift down so hard but nothing works. It really doesnt feel safe at all driving it and this happens everytime I drive it. I just want to get that recall problem fixed as soon as possible.

I purchased my vehicle used from a Ford dealership in 2017. I brought it in a few months after I purchased it due to rear tires locking up and a sudden downshift. Was told no codes were found wrong and they couldn't duplicate the issue. April 30, 2019 had to have it towed back in. Was informed of a recall on lead mane frame for first time. After replacing lead frame vehicle still will not preform properly and I have now been told entire transmission needs to be replaced. I haven't received any letter nor made aware at time of purchase of any recall. Ford continues to refuse any remedies to justify this problem. I'm a single mother of 3 and am outraged by the companies failure to notify me of this safety recall. The company refuses to help because my mileage is 152,000 miles. 2,000 over the extended warranty for recall. If I would have been notified in a timely manner of this faulty transmission and possibly deadly recall I would have immediately tended to it. My children are my world and Ford cares less about their safety and mine and it is wrong. Please help me and my babies.

Vehicle in forward motion at low and highway speeds. Transmission shifts unexpectedly! low gear-high gear-4wd-park!!! especially dangerous on highway. Need to have repaired to ba able to drive safely.

Truck currently has a recall on it due to it going into first gear unexpectedly. Took truck to closest dealership two weeks ago and had the recall service completed. Was told to expect my check engine light to be on for three or four days. When it stayed on a week I called them back to discuss the light still being on. Rescheduled a follow up appointment for April 12. On April 5 and April 7 the truck had the same problem that the recall was supposed to fix. Going approx 50mph when the truck went into first gear with wheel hop and some fish tailing. When this problem occurs the instrument panel will basically go to all zero's and it takes the truck being turned off for the computer to reset and allow truck to drive normally. Just wanted to document here since truck goes back to dealership tomorrow.

Driving vehicle at approx 65mph, engine lost power, engine wrench light, illuminated, oil pressure light illuminated, engine shifted to 'limp mode'. No acceleration. Pulled over to the side of the highway. Waited 2 minutes and restarted the engine. Was able to get home. Took to certified Ford dealership for repair. Issue occurred twice more while driving to the dealership for repair. Needed to replace the throttle body.

For over 2 years now an issue with the driver tran module has been causing my truck to go from any gear into first, locking tires up and causing issues while driving at any speed. ** safety recall was made on driver tran module **. However, my truck is now in worse condition without a fix to the issue, but my truck is now shutting the entire computer module down and I have further transmission issues.

My vehicle was serviced for recall 19s07 regarding unexpected downshifting in to first gear while driving. After my vehicle was serviced, my truck began downshifting in to first gear while driving. A new recall 19s19 was issued for improper/insufficient repair of original recall 19s07, however my vehicle's VIN is not yet showing up under this new recall, but my vehicle is still downshifting in to first gear while driving.

On hwy 65mph accelerating speedometer reading went to zero, transmission auto downshift. Had to pull over restart and then both the speedometer and transmission worked. After this several starts the speedometer doesn't work and transmission won't shift out of 1st gear.

Had recall preformed it still is dropping into 1st gear while driving complaint number: 11181584.

While driving on busy expressway in rush hour traffic, my truck suddenly shifted into neutral and I lost all information on dash (speedometer, miles until empty, etc). Luckily I was able to pull over and no one was hurt. Had to have vehicle towed. I was told that my trasmission has code p0722, apparently a common issue with the molded lead frame. I was also told that my VIN was not covered under a recall and that I would have to pay out of pocket. Very disappointed with Ford's quality of product and customer service for a known issue. This truck has less than 56,000 miles on it and I am still making monthly payments.

Driving down the road and heard an unfamiliar noise as I started to slow down I heard a loud pop and it felt as if the wheels locked up. After almost wrecking I got out to find that the ring and pinion was damaged.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph the vehicle mad a loud abnormal bang noise then the gear shifted from 5th to 1st without warning. The contact stated that the back tires seized and the speed decreased to almost 0 mph. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to to the side of the road where they stated that the gear was stuck in first gear and they had to go into the manual setting to shift gears. The same failure occurred twice. The dealer fieldhouse Ford 1400 s hallock st, DE motte, in 46310 where they stated that the contact needed to bring the vehicle in for them to make a diagnosis but the contact did not feel safe driving the distance to get to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000. Am.

Immediately following an oil change, my truck began making insanely loud grinding noises. I attempted to drive from knoxville to chattanooga and barely made it to cleveland. My truck stalled, started back up and I coasted into a parking lot. It would not go over 50. I then found a massive puddle of oil underneath where I parked. The truck was taken to jiffy lube.

I was driving at approximately 30 mph when the transmission's oss (output speed sensor) suddenly malfunctioned, causing an unexpected downshift into first gear. This abrupt shift led to a loss of control, resulting in a harrowing collision with a tree. What I witnessed next is etched into my memory forever: a scene of blood, fluorescent white bone fragments, and shattered glass strewn all around. Bones were even protruding through my skin at various locations, including my wrists, forearms, legs, and ankles, not to mention the dislocated shoulders. Thankfully, there were no other individuals present at the scene; otherwise, the outcome could have been equally disastrous, if not fatal, for them. Astonishingly, there were no discernible warning signs such as unusual sounds or dashboard warning lights prior to this incident. Following the accident, my pickup truck was towed to cedar park wrecker, only to be swiftly claimed by the insurance company and subsequently sent to auction within a matter of days.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. While operating the vehicle, the engine rpms suddenly revved to 4,500 and the vehicle accelerated on its own. The contact indicated that when the failure occurred, the brake pedal was depressed, the transmission shifted into park, and the engine was turned off to prevent the vehicle from accelerating. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (baierl Ford, 540 s. Main st. , zelienople, PA), but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 63,000.

Recall on 2011-2012 f150 lead fram harness failure my truck falls into the required date but Ford says my VIN # isn't in there data base under the recall.

2012 f150 down shifted into first gear going 55 on the freeway towing a trailer. There was a recall for 2011 & 2012 f150. Ford says mine doesn't? according to a report I have my truck was manufactured in the months of the recall? safety issue!!!!! scary Ford needs to recall all 2011 & 2012 not pick & choose some trucks I payed $1,100 to fix lots of complaints on the internet for this problem!!!! I would like to get reimbursed.

Takata recall my truck keeps downshifting and locking up my back wheels on the highway. I just almost had a wreck and this is getting ridiculous.

Around the beginning of July this year as I was driving around my speedometer and digital gauges on my 2012 Ford F-150 quit working and the truck began shifting very hard. I was able to pull over and restart the engine, and upon doing so it began normal operation. Over the course of the next couple weeks it did this same thing approximately four (4) more times. The last time was the most serious as I was driving down the highway about 65mph when my truck suddenly dropped into first gear and almost forced me off the road along with my two (2) year old daughter who was riding with me. I was able to maintain control and guide the truck off the roadway. However, this time upon restart the truck, while parked, was continuously revving at about 6,000rpm's. Upon a second restart it went back to normal operation. I called my local Ford dealership, cavalier Ford chesapeake square, and spoke with lindsay givens who told me it would be a "hot minute" before someone could look at my truck. I dropped it off after hours that night (07/20/18) with a written description of the problems. I was later contacted on 07/24/18, by phil causey, saying they were going to take a look at my truck the following day. I never heard anymore and upon calling the dealership on 07/27/18, and speaking to tanya howard, I was advised my truck still hadn't been looked at and phil was off until the following week. On 07/31/18 I received a call from phil and he stated that while they were driving my truck around it got stuck in first gear on them as well, and they located the problem in the leadframe of my transmission. The diagnostics shows my truck read codes p0722 and p072. This recall https://media. Ford. Com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/04/27/Ford-motor-company-issues-three-safety-recalls-and-two-safety-CO. Html covers this exact problem on my vehicle, however Ford will not honor it.

My 2012 Ford F-150 is having serious safety issues that are addressed in for TSB's and safety recalls. Upon contacting Ford motor company, I was informed that my vehicle did not have the specific VIN number that matched with their cases. My vehicle fits the recall descriptions with make, model, year, and even manufacturing location and has the exact issues that these recalls are about. The first recall is Ford recall 16s19 : unexpected transmission downshift this will cause my vehicle to randomly downshift multiple gears. When it shifts down it also causes the rear tires are lock up and I have lost control momentarily trying to drive at highway speeds. This also causes wear and tear on the drivetrain. Shifting the motor from 5th gear to 1st immediately sends the motor into a dangerous rpm range causing damage. The second recall is Ford TSB 13-6-8: this causes me to lose all indication on my gauges except for rpm' s. I lose indication on my current speed randomly and also on all of my critical engine temperatures and pressures. This also locks the transmission into 5th gear, making it difficult to slow down properly and accelerate from a stop or slow speed. These two issues combine makes the vehicle a danger to drive. I do not feel safe anymore taking this vehicle anywhere and cannot trust it. I have contacted Ford motor company both locally and at its headquarters. Their reply is that they have to fix it. I was told to contact the NHTSA for further help from a friend who encountered similar issues with Ford motor company. Thank you for your help.

The vehicle will lose speed sensing and then the transmission shifts gears or is erratic and jumps back and forth between gears. Worst case I was approximately doing 40 mph, speedometer went to 0 the truck shifted from 4th gear to 1st gear. Usually the erratic behavior is at lower speed and lower gears, but is gradually getting worse.

We have a Ford F-150 and it is losing power as you travel down the road. We have to pull over and turn the truck off and restart it. We have had it in the shop at least twice with no success in finding the problem. We have had sensors replaced and the intercooler drained twice. This is dangerous because as your traveling it will loose power and it's hard to get off the road sometimes and could cause an accident. We don't know what to do at this point.

Very little to no brakes at all. Of course the same issue everyone else is having. Vacuum pump/ brake booster! definitely a safety issue and how they haven't fixed this issue yet is beyond me. No actually I do know since I'm a Ford employee myself, but I'll save that for a representative. Remember �quality is job one!� eric neblett from louisville kentucky. Email: ericneblett@gmail. Com.

The vehicle would downshift into 1st gear without warning, has occurred when vehicle was traveling approximately 35 mph. The vehicle would also remain in 1st gear after these incidents and intermittently when leaving from a stop, at an intersection. Vehicle has done this several times, in which case the dashboard displayed an illuminated malfunction indicator light and gone into limp mode, with only 5th gear available, while in an intersection. This problem would also cause the odometer to read '-------. --' and the speedometer to read '0 mph', even when the vehicle is in motion, travelling at any speed. Vehicle is in otherwise perfect operating conditions. Diagnostic trouble code p0720 was displayed during these incidents. The manufacturer has customer satisfaction program 16n02 for 'certain' vehicles, in which the dealers are replace the molded lead frame within the transmission. In the case of my vehicle, this program did not apply to my vehicle, while at the same time, the molded lead frame within the transmission was determined to be the source of the issue and subsequently replaced. With my vehicle not applying for the noted customer satisfaction program, with the same faulty part as noted within the specific customer satisfaction program, it is my opinion that the affected vehicles with deficient molded lead frames is far greater than what was initially thought and therefore, the recall program should be extended to all F-150s and similar vehicles within the specified build dates, as noted within the customer satisfaction program. The molded lead frame failure should be considered a manufacturing defect and causes serious safety concerns for the drivers of those vehicles and to the travelling public.

2012 Ford f150 - transmission lead frame the Ford dealership (bolton in lake charles, la) is replacing the transmission lead frame in my truck. The vehicle, driving linearly at 35 mph, locked into 3rd gear and went into safe operating mode with almost no acceleration. The speedometer stopped working and a wrench light fault code appeared on the screen. The vehicle would not go into first or second gear or regain acceleration, even when stationary, park, or after restarting. The vehicle is an early 2012 production pickup from the dearborn, michigan plant, matching the recall criteria for NHTSA (16v-248) and Ford (16s19) but the VIN does not appear in reference to the recall for the transmission lead frame. The dealer refused to honor any warranty for this recalled defective part. The vehicle is dealer stock / unmodified and presently has 71,000 miles.

While driving at highway speed, truck losses power and goes into limp mode. Wrench icon comes on, as well as airbag light, and speedometer stops working. It appears to be stuck in whatever gear it is in at the time. Also, when starting out, truck gets stuck in 1st gear, and tries to accelerate even when not pressing gas pedal. I never had an issue until I took it in for a recall on the transmission.

There have been multiple instances while driving in which the truck seems to lose power and shifts to a lower gear. The speedometer and odometer do not display when this happens. On some occasions the wrench has shown. One one occasion while accelerating to enter a highway the gear shifted down and the tires squealed and the truck dramatically slowed down. Some occasions when this has happened the shifting between gears is extremely rough. These occasions have happened while in motion, on city streets, on highways, and entering or exiting highways.

The speedometer screen goes black and then the vehicle will drop unexpectedly into first gear while in motion, usually on a highway.

My vehicle is experiencing all of the issues as stated in safety recall 16s19 (unintended downshift resulting in locking up of rear tires as well as intermittent limp mode and tachometer spikes and drops while driving on a city street). I took it to a Ford dealer and they indicated that my vehicle was outside of the �build date� by a total of 9 days and they refused to address the issue per the safety recall.

Vehicle is experiencing the issues described in Ford's April 27th, 2016 recall announcement of bad transmission software and/or hardware. My vehicle is said to be outside of the dates that was affected. While driving the vehicle at speeds of around 25 mph (multiple times) the speedometer becomes erratic and drops to zero mph. Throttle is held steady. The transmission bounces between gears and then goes into first gear at which point the vehicle slows abruptly and the rear tires squeal. I have not driven the vehicle at higher speeds to see if the issue occurs there as well. Video of this happening on my 2012 F-150 available here: https://youtu. Be/p5zxvesusuc.
