2013 Ford F-150. Consumer writes in regards to output speed sensor safety recall. The consumer stated the manufacturer had not notified the dealer of the recall; therefore, the recall was unable to be completed.
The truck will sometimes just refuse to go and will jump a lot and other times all of a sudden the check engine light will come and the speedometer will stop working and this can make the truck jump a lot. Had truck put on computer and it comes up with speed sensor code.

Truck's output speed sensor and harness failed while moving through an intersection and downshifted the vehicle into low gear almost causing an accident. Ford has a current recall on the software but not the sensor. Prior year vehicles also had the same recall and Ford replaced the sensor as customer satisfaction. See link: https://media. Ford.

Ford f150 supercrew 5. 0 v8 6 speed auto transmission. Erratic shifting while driving. Sometimes will stay in 5th gear at a stop wont shift down, sometimes when pulling out in 1st gear will not shift up. Bounces back and forth between 1st gear and third or 5th while driving. Shutting off vehicle and restarting sometimes solves issue but becoming more frequent, recall for reprogramming speed output sensor was performed with no resolution. Appears to be the lead frame module issue that was recalled in 2011-2012 Ford f150 but not recalled or extended warranty on 2013 models. Very very dangerous, cannot drive this vehicle!.
Takata recall. I put my truck in drive and as soon as I get over 2-5 mph it shifts from 1st gear to 3rd. When this happens I loss the speedometer and my turn signals will not turn off. Check engine light comes on with a big wrench in the center of my gauges. Will not down shift below 3rd and will not go into 6th. Also the odometer,mpg, and trips all go blank. Code p0720. Output speed sensor circuit. I'm told by Ford and a transmission shop that it's in the transmission! truck just hit 69147 miles and I haven't owned it three weeks yet.
Speed sensor lead frame problem. Vehicle would periodically get stuck in a gear, digital speedometer would go to all dashes, and air bag light would pop up. Other times, in highest gear, the vehicle would drop a gear unannounced. Would take off in 5th gear at times. Would shift hard at times.
Recently experienced speedometer, odometer, cruise control, blinker control, and transmission shifting quits working. If I shut off and start again problems goes away. I had researched the issue and it is the speed sensor. They have a TSB but my vehicle is not included even though it has the exact same issues. A Ford dealer said to replace the lead frame, again the exact same issue of the TSB. Today, while traveling at 70mph on the highway it suddenly downshifted causing the tires to lock up and squeal and dropping my speed rapidly. Thank goodness no one was riding my tail. Very scary incident, afraid to drive vehicle now. Very disappointed with Ford as I have seen many people have this same issue and it has not been addressed. It's unsafe for us that have these vehicles and for others on the road with us. Maybe we need to file a class action lawsuit.
While driving 75 mph down the interstate the transmission shifted to 2 gear and locked up tires for a split second before shifting back up. I was in traffic and took truck off road into the median, thankfully was able to maintain control of the vehicle before coming to a complete stop. The transmission basically has a mind of its own at times I've been told it is a output speed sensor and will have that replaced. It appears that the 11' and 12's have a recall but not 13' this is a very dangerous issue that needs serious attention be taken care of by Ford.
My 2013 Ford f150 will shift into different gears while driving causing the truck to lock up. I was driving 65 mph down the interstate this morning when it shifted into 1st gear causing my tires to lock up and skid all over the road. Luckily I was able to get it off the road before crashing. I have heard this is the output speed sensor which has happened to millions of other f150's. . Read more...
Without warning my rear wheels & drivetrain locked up while driving. My vehicle suddenly lost control and I had to drive into the grassy shoulder at around 35 mph to avoid being in traffic. As the problem was occuring, the speedometer went to 0 mph and the airbag light illuminated. The vehicle mileage in the cluster showed all dashes. The transmission felt like it was disconnected from the engine, and transmission was stuck in 5th gear at low vehicle speeds. I cycled the ignition, and truck drove normally after that. This is an intermittent problem and very dangerous to drive with as vehicle will lose power and transmission can shift to 1st gear at high vehicle speeds. My vehicle has the 6r80 faulty transmission with the same type of 6r80 molded lead frame defect problem reported in previous f150 model years. Upon contacting dealership they seemed like they never heard of the issue before. Ford should issue a recall for all vehicles with p0722 output shaft speed sensor diagnostic trouble codes. A simple electrical issue on a $100 part should not cause this type of dangerous reaction. See Ford TSB 13-4-9 and 13-2-3 and recall #16v248000 that should apply to all 2013 F-150's too.
My lead frame, output speed sensor went out at around 110,000 miles and caused my vehicle to stall completely. This occurred while in the middle of a very busy state hwy intersection and almost caused me to get hit by a semi truck and trailer. Very dangerous situation. The readout on the mechanics computer was "output speed sensor".

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my 2013 Ford F-150 XLT as those that have been recalled in the 2011 and 2012 models. My truck was also built in dearborn, michigan and has the 6r80 transmission. I took my truck into the dealership this week to find that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The dealer is replacing the powertrain control module software and the lead frame at my cost of $1,362 . The problem: a problem with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame could cause the transmission controls to force a temporary downshift into 1st gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up, resulting in loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. Earlier this week on multiple occasions, my truck will not shift out of first gear after coming to a stop. I was nearly involved in an accident due to this problem when I was unable to accelerate from a stop light and there was no place for me to pull over. The problem only corrects itself when I shut the engine off and restart it.
Was traveling along I-85 about 70mph in my 2013 F-150 stx 5. 0 when out of nowhere the truck down shifted from overdrive to 2 gear the truck started wheel hopping and barking the tires and was nearly uncontrollable! I was almost hit in the rear several times until I could limp it to the shoulder and if anyone knows the area I was almost in charlotte nc traffic is terrible. Once I gathered myself noticed the seatbelt light came on odometer showed 2 dotted lines with the a wrench sign, also tried to take off aging little power speedometer was not working and would not shift out of 2nd gear. I stopped and cut the truck off and waited about 5 minutes and seem to be okay. The very next day going down the highway about 55mph and it did the same thing except this time the back wheels seem to have locked up and when it let loose I almost got hit trying to the shoulder once again did the exact things as the day before still no check engine light. I called the local dealer and was told nothing could be done until a check engine light came on. Once again after letting the truck set for a bit it seemed okay. So for about 3 days it run fine and I was to leave the next morning for out of town work and my truck is the only means of transportation and just as I pulled from my house it started to act up and the check engine light came on just so happens I live near a parts store chain and the person put the code device on and the code came up with I believe it was p 0720 which was the output speed sensor switch located in the transmission. . Dealer repaired at a cost of $987. 00 that I paid that hurt my wallet. I called Ford customer service and the agent said that it has happened to other years with same code and the same fix and would open a case to see if there is a way to get Ford to pay, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
