Two problems related to speed control cable have been reported for the 2013 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Ford F-150 based on all problems reported for the 2013 F-150.
Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. The contact stated that the battery cable was removed and then re-installed, and the vehicle functioned normally. After driving 5 miles at 35 mph, the vehicle started to decelerate and lost power. The vehicle was taken to landers Ford south (95 goodman rd e, southaven, ms 38671, (662) 349-4300) where it was diagnosed that the speed shaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
The vehicle did not shift to the appropriate gear and acted erratically. The rpms might spike but the truck did not accelerate. Other times the rpms dropped to zero even when I depressed the gas pedal. After first replacing the spark plugs, the dealership replaced the lead frame for a total out of pocket cost of approximately $1,100. I was lucky that the problem manifested itself at lower speeds in town. This could easily have been a serious safety problem under other conditions such as towing a camper/trailer or at high speeds. I see there was a lead frame recall on the 2012 f150s. It seems appropriate that this recall would also be applicable to the 2013s. Https://media. Ford.
