Transmission Sensor Problems of Ford F-150

After cranking the vehicle, I put in in reverse. The check engine light came on and it did not want to back up. Fearing that I would damage the vehicle I had it towed to the dealer. It was pulling a trouble code p0705 for the transmission range sensor. There is a recall on this (12c23) for Ford f150's for certain 2011 through 2013 models. I was told that my vehicle was not included in this recall because it was made 4 months before the recall years. My Ford was made in 4/11. The recall started for 8/11 year vehicles. My truck is the same year, make, model, and has the same engine and transmission as the recalled vehicles and it should also be covered in the recall. This does not make any sense at all to exclude my vehicle. I have the receipt from the dealer that cost me $907. 36. The tow bill was $140. 00. I should be reimbursed from Ford for all this.

Takata recall: my 2010 Ford raptor with the 6. 2l motor has been having a wrench light come on and I have had two quotes stating the neutral position sensor or transmission range sensor is bad. I've noticed that many recalls have been made on the Ford F-150 models starting in 2011-2014. With my vehicle being produced mid year of 2010. I feel my vehicle is part of that recall. But doesn't show in any systems. My vehicle will stay stuck in a certain gear or not start at all. I can be driving down the high way and the vehicle will shift down to first gear when the vehicle is still in drive while going 60mph. It makes the vehicle reach redline on rpms and hard to stop the vehicle.

My 2011 F-150 would not go into reverse and it would not show up in the in the indicator. It required the replacement of the molded lead frame in the transmission to correct the transmission range sensor issue. There was a recall issued by Ford (12c23) that covered the same issue for 2011 - 2013 model year F-150 with 6r80 transmission. My F-150 was not in the manufacture date range, but it has all the issues that were in the 12c23 recall. This was brought to Fords attention, but they indicated that it is not part of this recall, even though it is the same exact issue. I have attached the recall notice for reference. This recall should be extended to cover all 2011 F-150 that have this exact same issue as indicated in the recall. It also should be noted that they did issue a recall 19n01 for the mold lead frame for this F-150, but refuse to cover the repair due to the fact that the specific codes for this recall were not present.

On the evening of 2/14/19 while returning home from the car wash, my 2012 Ford F-150 suddenly downshifted into 1st gear from 6th gear while the vehicle was in motion. There was no loss of control as the road was dry and my speed was 40 mph. The next morning I called the service department at jack demmer Ford in wayne mi to speak with my service rep. He did not pick up and did not return my call despite my leaving a detailed message and calling again later in the day. On the morning of 2/19/19 while on the freeway at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle went into what I assume is "limp mode". It dropped from 6th to 5th gear and a wrench logo appeared in the message screen. There was no description of the problem, just a logo. When I got off the freeway, I realized that I no longer had 1st, 2nd, or 6th gear. I arrived at work and called the dealer immediately. They gave me a runaround about how an official fix was not available yet and asked me if I had tried turning the car off and back on again. After insisting repeatedly that something be done, I was told I could bring the truck in the have the power train module "reprogrammed". This was done at no cost but I was told this was all they could do for me at this time. The next day in the evening, the truck downshifted to second gear while I was on the freeway doing 55 miles an hour. The road was wet and starting to freeze. I nearly lost control of the vehicle but was able to regain control. The truck returned to normal after this. As of 2/20/19, no further contact has been made with Ford regarding the issue. I will be calling tomorrow to customer care about this issue and demanding a rental car until the vehicle is safe to drive. It is my understanding that this is related to recall 19s07. The transmission output speed sensor is reported to be losing communication with the powertrain control module, causing a downshift.

I am having a safety issue with my vehicle. When I place the shifter into reverse or drive the vehicle does not go. There is a delay until it engages into reverse or drive, the check engine light comes on as well. When you drive there is a hard shift. I did some research and a lot of people are complaining about this. I did check the check engine light codes and the issue is the " transmission range sensor". I am afraid that while I am driving it will disengage from drive and put my life in danger.

When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on. I am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle. Reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup. However dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift. I am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning "transmission range sensor". My vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however I am informed by the local Ford dealership that my VIN number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by Ford. I have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that Ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.

Transmission range sensor is malfunctioning. Truck shifts gears erratically, reverse lights will not operate creating a safety hazard. The shifting is also a safety hazard due to the inability to maintain control of my speed on the interstate. At times the reverse lights will come on while driving in traffic even if the vehicle is moving forward. Ford has issued a recall for the same problems for the same vehicle built in the same plant, however the manufacture date for the recall begins in August of 2011, my truck was built in June of 2011. Therefore my truck is not covered. I have already been placed at risk for an accident for this issue. I feel this is a defect already acknowledged by Ford, and can't understand why they wouldn't choose to fix every vehicle affected by this instead of just a few.

VIN: 1ftfw1et7cfa07224 recall date: Apr 25, 2016 recall title: powertrain control module reprogramming NHTSA recall number: awaiting# Ford recall number: 16s19 recall description: some vehicles may experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor (oss) signal to the powertrain control module, potentially resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear. In some cases, the oss signal could recover while driving and the vehicle will resume normal function; in other cases the vehicle may need to be stopped and restarted to regain normal transmission operation. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition on the affected vehicles. Risk to safety: depending on vehicle speed at the time of the downshift, an unintended downshift into first gear may occur causing the rear tires to slide or lock up until the vehicle slows. This may result in a loss of vehicle control without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy program: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have the powertrain control module reprogrammed with updated software. There will be no charge for this service. Ford is excluding reimbursement for costs because the original warranty program would provide for a free repair for this concern. Ford will forward a copy of the notification letters to dealers to the agency when available. Status: 12 - recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. . Read more...

Driving on highway at 70mph, I saw my speedometer momentarily drop to 40mph. It did it again about 15 seconds later, and downshifted to about 4th gear momentarily. About a minute later, still at 70mph the speedometer dropped, and the transmission downshifted to 1st gear! my rear wheels locked up, and I lost control, and fishtailed for a few seconds. Luckily I had taken a half day vacation and was not in rush hour traffic. Still other cars had to swerve to keep from being hit. The dearlership was able to reproduce the problem, and replaced a moulded plastic module made by continental that I think contained the transmission speed sensor. So it appears that when the transmission speed sensor signal is lost, the failure mode is to downshift to 1st gear no matter the speed of the vehicle.

In cold weather, a 2-3 slip detect occurs on moderate hills at low acceleration. The first two times the truck was inspected by dealer, I was told the problem was the external transmission sensors, and the slip detect code was removed from the vehicle computer. Problem is re-occuring as the weather warms up, but slip detect code not being stored in computer. I've referenced TSB 99-9-6 (NHTSA item sb606428) to dealer, but have been told that the TSB is irrelavent and the transmission pan will have to be dropped to inspect the internal sensors at a cost of $1,200. Please (if possible) send me the full text of TSB 99-9-6 and/or NHTSA item sb606428 so that I may use it as back-up upon my next visit to the dealer. I will also let them know that I've filed an issue report here at the odi. Regards, eric slan.
