general problems of the 2013 Ford F-150 - part 2

My speakers when they were working would make a ear piercing static output that would last a few seconds. It was very dangerous while I was driving bc it would scar me enough to jump. After about the 5th time, the speakers and radio no longer worked.

Problemas DE trasmicion.

On my way to work I turned on the rear defrost and heard a loud bang after 15 minutes. I pulled over to see what had happened and the read driver side windshield pain had shattered. It remained in the laminate but I got a replacement quote and its almost $1000 dollars. After doing research this is a major problem with the defrost mechanism on these trucks with no known fix. I'm glad it stayed in take but the glass is continuously cracking as I drive and I cannot get the repair done until Thursday and the dealer said they can do nothing except replace the glass and hope it doesn't happen again.

Transmission problem gear. Sudden downshift then stuck in 1st or second gear.

The defective part is the transmission molded leadframe, their was a recall issued on truck which I was not told until the problem occurred when I drivinh the truck I have taken truck in and told them the issue on the transmission which I looked up and found the recall we contacted Ford motor company back in March 2023 and was told a letter would be sent to me for this recall to be done which I never received I contacted them again after I was told it would take 6 weeks to receive letter for the repair and was told the recall expired, this recall should of been fixed before truck was sold to me, I have tried to get this resolved it is not safe to drive the truck without this part being replaced, the engine light came on I took it in to Ford and had it checked and was told a recall was on the truck, it wasn't repaired and nothing has been resolved. Now they have said it would cost me $2000 to be replaced which was suppose to be replaced with the recall.

Locked up in 1st gear while driving.

The rear glass on the drivers side shattered for no reason.

Sunroof / moonroof went to a 3rd party company in business for over 50 years and have had several Ford F-150 vehicles with same sunroof issues that come in weekly. Ford specialist was able to give me a description of the issue and due to pricing shopped around and found out I am not the only one having this sunroof issue with screws coming off and sun roof getting stuck all the time.

This has now happened countless times. The truck will be in a gear, as I naturally speed up, the transmission will jerk and the truck will get stuck in the following gear. The truck will then be stuck in that gear and will not downshift. A big wrench light comes on, then turns off about 10 seconds later. In addition, the odometer lists dashes (---,---), no mileage measures. The speedometer stays at 0 mph even when driving in the stuck gear. Another light stays on, I think it is the airbag image. Everything stays as is until I turn off the truck. Once I turn off and turn back on, everything goes back to normal. I've taken the truck to Ford, but because there are no "check engine" lights and there are no codes, Ford will not cover. My mechanic has confirmed (without any codes) that the recall is tsb16-0008, which was issued in March 2019. Since my truck is showing no codes, and my truck is over 10 years old, Ford says they will not cover. This is extremely concerning. If the truck downshifts on the highway, or refuses to downshift when needed, I could be in a serious accident. As mentioned, this has now occurred countless times.

Rear window shattered while parked. . Big bang and shattered window. . . Ive seen many other reports with the same problem. Due to maybe rear window defrost.

My truck will randomly start driving in third gear or shift to third gear while driving and stick. It will also hard shift from third to fourth. There have been few instances where it downshifted to first gear.

My truck will downshift to 1st gear while driving and sometimes starts or sticks in 3rd gear. I have called dealership but they say my truck isn’t in recall. This has happened numerous times to the point it’s not safe to drive. I’ve had it towed already.

The truck will suddenly down shift while I'm driving . Speed omitorr shuts down. As well when this happens please let me know if you need any thing else.

The wrench came on speedometer wasn't working acted like it wasn't shifting correctly turn signals wouldn't turn off after completing a turn and fuel mileage wasn't working looked in owners manuel found it says power train malfunction/reduced power contact authorized dealership as soon as possible.

I'm not sure if it's the cruze control or just the the accelerator that is causing the problem. I'm driving along and then the truck kicks into high speed almost throwing me off the road. At times it's slow then it kicks in. Very scary.

Fuse for fuel pump keeps burning out causing engine to shutdown or not start at all. Smell wire burning smell when opening hood to check fuses. Am afraid this will eventually cause a fire in fuse box. Looked up videos on youtube and it states that Ford recommends rerouting fuse port but this is electrical in nature and could cause a fire or perhaps other mechanical failures. I am not a mechanic nor do I have financial means to pay someone to reroute a bad fuse port which can eventually cause a fire.

Rear windows shattered and I have no idea why. Drove to work and mid afternoon noticed both back windows were shattered when I went out to my truck.

Ford motor corp not repairing warranty part under field service action number:19n01. Ford customer care (18003923673) does nothing to rectify problem. Ford case #cas-35799308.

My truck randomly downshifts while driving. I took my truck to fix a downshifting recall that should have taken care of this dangerous problem and it has yet to be resolved. I called corporate Ford and a local Ford dealer and was told I needed to pay $140 fee in order for my car to be checked considering the recall apparently was taken care of. In the system it shows it was taken care of but there is clearly a problem if the truck is doing exactly what the recall was supposed to prevent. This is our daily vehicle and it frightens my wife to drive it. This happens on a daily occasion.

I was driving on a cold morning and turned on the rear defrost on back window. The window exploded and shattered. Nothing hit the window only the activation of the defrost control. The issue is that I thought someone shot at me. Could have caused an accident and I'm glad my kids weren't in the back. Several others have complained of this happening found here: https://urldefense. Com/v3/__https://na2. Documents. Adobe. Com/public/esign?tsid=cbfcibaa3aaablblqzhbi2skt8khkr2dvwwahetrcpyfmi2zegqts6vmnctay5aoww5wyn0xfdvsdp574jhtk0rroeqf5ahg9zfqvvwrk&__;!!noswa-erag!xliaefnb2zvs_6piz6gemp0s1z_diuhk-wnz30t9jgbpzbkvuskk7517bofebr8f$.

While driving the truck will shift gears and get stuck in gears, particularly first gear. When stuck rmp's rev high and cause the truck to lurch forward even when foot is on the brake. Speedometer goes to 0 even while driving. Truck can switch to manual gear, but will only allow to go to 3rd gear and no higher. Putting truck in park and shutting it off will sometimes reset and allow to get back on the road. Other times it will stay stuck in first gear. I believe this is an issue with the lead frame. Our safety was put at risk as we tried to take off from a stop light and the truck would not shift out first. The lurching almost made me hit the person in front of me and the person behind me almost hit me as the truck was lurching forward. Any higher speed would have surely caused an accident. Truck has been take to a Ford dealership service center. There is a csp from Ford on the lead frame of the truck with our VIN number but because no code has been recorded, Ford will not fix the issue under the csp. We have not had any warning lamps or messages before, during, or after the issue occurs. Ford needs to acknowledge that the problem with the lead frame does not always produce a an error code. They need to replace all the lead frames in the affected vehicles if it demonstrates these issues immediately to keep drivers safe. Error code should not be the only determining factor of fixing this issue as it is obvious that they don't occur in every case and driver are in serious danger.

Warning lights and issues: 1. ) abs warning light on 2. ) service advancetrac light on 3. ) wrench light shows up and miles gauge stops working 4. ) truck is driving strangely gets stuck and kicks when speed up 5. ) truck rpm gauge goes crazy and truk tries to speed up by itself.

Timing chain has no tension and requiring immediate repair of timing chain and phasers. Check engine light illuminated with codes p0012 & p054c. It is evident this is an acknowledged issue with Ford due to the number of tsbs issued for this motor. Diagnosed at an independent repair shop and confirmed at local Ford dealership and is available currently at the Ford dealership for inspection upon request. Safety risk of loss of power or complete engine failure while operating. Occasional cold start noises occurred for about a year prior to the check engine light on 1/13/2022 - check engine light appeared, and was taken to a repair shop the next day.

I drove my truck home that afternoon and parked with no problems or alarms got up next morning to leave had hill decent default alarm when I cranked the truck and obviously that affected the electric power steering and I could not turn the steering wheel. First thought that came to mind what if this had happened and I lost steering control while driving home yesterday. As I checked into the problem I learned of the electric control power assist steering also learned that there had been many other incidents with steering failures some with accidents. Also learned that I cannot find any recalls related to this problem which is a very dangerous problem. After getting some advice I checked out the wiring harness underneath the fuse box which is located under the hood. While shining a light up into the fuse box I immediately saw burned wires. Then called my Ford dealer in easley, south carolina who did not return my call even though I told them I was without a vehicle and had a very serious electrical problem with my truck. I took pictures of wires and would like for you to investigate this. Very dangerous situation!!!!!.

The truck seems to downshift on its own randomly. Thwre are times where I turn the trucm off and turn it back on then its back to normal. Other times it takes about 10 mins to work normaly again. Also the truck won't let me accelerate at times. It just sounds like I'm reving the engine.

I was first driving about 50mph in 6th gear when my truck downshifted to 1 without warning. Luckily no one was behind me and I was able to get into the right lane. I tuned my vehicle off and back on and my truck shifted just fine. To say I was and scared is an understatement luckily I have had plenty of training just in case, I’m sure many have not. I got a diagnostic test on it and there were no errors. About a week later I was driving 80 down the freeway when my truck went from 6 gear to idol. Luckily I was able to steer off the highway to get away from traffic. Again, I turned off and back on my truck. No lights or indications, but now I have an appointment to get another complete diagnostic on it. Just want to make sure everyone is aware that there is an issue. I have around 180,000 miles on the vehicle. I don’t have any files to upload at this time because my truck goes in next week.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, a loud thumping noise was heard before the vehicle shutoff. During the failure the “service transmission" message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. There was no service codes present. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 34,000.

Ford dealership could not rotate my tires because of swollen lug nuts . Safety issue as they said the lug nuts could break and I would lose a tire resulting in a crash .

Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the exact same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.

Date: July 5, 2021, roughly 5 pm location: interstate 40, heading west. Just east of the first exit for shawnee ok I was driving with traffic, cruise set at 80 mph. Changed to left lane to pass a travel trailer and noticed traffic was getting heavier up ahead. I tapped the brake to cancel the cruise control, and the engine raced out of control. It was as if the accelerator was pressed to the floor. I used both feet on the brake to attempt to slow the pickup, was able to change back to the right lane, and managed to drive onto the shoulder and slam the truck into park. The racing engine never let up until the key was turned off. I did see that the cruise dash light was indicating that the cruise was off before I changed lanes. It is my belief that tapping the brake initiated the problem. Fortunately, no one was hurt, there was no accident. I can still see the children in the vehicle ahead of me when I try to go to sleep and I have nightmares of what could have happened. No problem the next day. We tried to create the situation when traffic was light, but have not experienced any problem with braking, tapping the brake, the cruise control, or unintended acceleration since then.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon cold start of the vehicle, an abnormal rattling sound would emit from the vehicle without warning. The contact called lake elsinore Ford (31500 auto center dr, lake elsinore, CA 92530) and hemborg Ford (1900 hamner Ave, norco, CA 92860) and was informed that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred him to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

This truck was driven daily and has been owned since new. No aftermarket accessories, all stock. The truck was parked in my warehouse over the weekend. When I returned on Monday morning I found the dashboard burned and melted, airbag deployed, and headliner scorched. I believe the airbag extinguished the fire and kept it from spreading outside the truck and possibly destroying my business. The truck has not been inspected by anyone other than mechanics working on quotes to repair it. The truck is still at my business and available for your inspection. There were no warnings of any kind.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the check engine warning light would intermittently illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to two dealers who both informed him that they could not service the vehicle unless the check engine warning light was illuminated while in their possession. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a defective output shaft speed sensor. The mechanic linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19v433000 (power train) and referred him back to the dealer. The dealer acknowledged that the defect was covered under warranty not recall; but, the vehicle could not be serviced until the check engine warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

My rpm kneedle pop off. My seats are tearling.

I filed a complaint 11388782 1/18/2021 on this abrupt transmission downshift and it happened again yesterday. Fortunately, no one was behind me and I survived another very scary moment. I spoke with Ford today and they said there had been a recall notice sent that I never received and now since my vehicle has 172000 they say the recall was only good until 150000 miles. This is definitely a safety issue that Ford needs to extend the recall. If my vehicle had a recall why didn't the various Ford dealerships that I have been to for service over the years notify me also. I think Ford failed to notify me of this flagrant safety recall.
