Manual Transmission Column Shift Problems of Ford F-150

My vehicle has an automatic transmission. I pulled out of my driveway and shifted into drive and the gear shifter went "floppy," became excessively loose and would not shift into any other gear position. I had to shut the engine off and set the emergency brake to keep the vehicle in place right there in the middle of the street. It turns out two 27mm torx bolts had come loose on the steering column shifter assembly inside the dashboard (a nut holding one of the bolts had actually broken into two pieces). See attached pictures. As I researched this problem, I learned that hundreds, perhaps thousands had reported the same issue (that and bushings breaking or slipping out on the steering column causing a similar issue), on F-150's, f-250's, f-350's, windstar vans, and other Ford vehicles. This had the potential to be a tragic problem. C'mon, Ford, take some ownership and do right by your customers here--fix this problem under recall!.

S19s07 / NHTSA recall 19v-075 is causing failure on transmission with no issues. I found online that my 2011 f150 was due for the 19s07 recall 19v-075 or the intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss). This recall has to do with the automatic transmission and "an unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down. " I have driven and owned the truck since brand new and it had 16 miles on it. I've never had a transmission repair or problem out of it since I've had it. However, not wanting to risk having an issue, I took it in to the local dealer for this recall, they then updated the powertrain control module with software to prevent this. I received the truck back and drove it home. The following morning, I started the engine, pulled the column shifter into reverse, and the orange light for the shifter dial on the dash disappeared. Nothing happened at first and then it suddenly slammed into reverse. The shifter light never lit up until I put it back in to park and the orange shifter light reappeared. I then pulled the shifter lever down in to drive and again, the orange shifter light on the dash disappeared and the transmission did not go into gear for a moment and then suddenly slammed into drive. Again, with no signal on the dash that it was even in a gear, drive, park, etc. Took it back to the local Ford dealer explaining the situation and a day later they called to tell me that the transmission has a faulty transmission lead frame connector, would not be covered under warranty, and would cost me close to $1,000 to be repaired. I refused the repair that was now going to cost me caused by the recall and software update. Again, the truck had no issues before taking it in to bill utter Ford for the transmission recall and software update.

Transmission shift cable outer sheath was melted on exhaust system. Cable had unknowingly come loose of a retaining clip and was then allowed to contact hot exhaust manifold. Melted the outer plastic of shift cable causing the shift selector to become inoperable. Shift selector could be placed in park but transmission would not be in park; if I had not realized there was a problem I could have believed the transmission was in park when it was not and the truck could have rolled freely. Truck is a well maintained 2006 Ford f150 crew cab 4x4 with the column shifter.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several unknown dealers for transmission repairs. The transmission column shift assembly was replaced in 2007. In 2010, the transmission fluid spilled and the gasket, filters, and spark plugs were replaced; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle did not accelerate over 40 mph and vibrated. The contact also stated that when the vehicle was driven up hill with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle decelerated. In addition, the check engine and transmission fault indicators illuminated. The manufacturer provided the contact with case number: n24150780-f193g8. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 84,000.

We have a Ford f150 boss truck (2002) that has only 30,000 miles on it. The transmission went out yesterday. The truck has absolutely not had a hard life. We take very good care of our vehicles.
