  I have a 2013 F150 and the wrench will flash on the screen, the speedometer quits working and it locks in 3rd gear. Sometimes it gets stuck in 1st gear and when going downhill in tow/haul it will suddenly downshift from 6th gear to 1st.

I had it diagnosed at the Chevy dealership as the lead frame and now I'm trying to get ford to fix it, but Ive heard several Ford dealerships won't unless they can replicate the issue, but the issue is intermittent, but it could potentially be dangerous. I think there should be an absolute recall, rather than an extended warranty, because so many instances of the warranty not being honored.

  I took my 2012 in for the same issues molded lead frame that was a month ago ford ordered the part. First they told me 2weeks now there telling they have no ideal when it will come in . Said up to 6 months.

  I have been experiencing numerous accounts of my 2013 Ford F-150 having transmission issues to include locking up in first gear, speedometer failing, gauges dashing out, and downshifting at higher speeds.

I recently took my Ford into a dealer after knowing the issue was the molded lead frame which different mechanics have told me that was the problem. My problem was that Ford is denying mechanics to fix the problem if “they” cannot get the problem to show a code to prove that is the problem. I called Ford customer service and they were a broken record telling me that they can’t fix it unless it codes, but Ford already knows what the issue is since they extended the warranty on it. I addressed this inherent danger to them of down shifting at high speeds and they said nothing they can do.

  I received the recall notification Wednesday, February 13th. I brought my 2012 F-150 into the nearest dealership the following day, Thursday the 14th. They walked me through the 'reprogramming' they were going to do. A few hours later I received a call stating that it was finished and fixed.

I brought my 2012 F-150 into the nearest dealership the following day, Thursday the 14th. They walked me through the 'reprogramming' they were going to do. A few hours later I received a call stating that it was finished and fixed. When I picked it up, I was told that the drive may be 'a little rough' for the first 100 miles. The truck downshifted suddenly four times in the first 15 minutes. As well, with no warning, the truck will become stuck in one gear (typically first) when pulling away from a stop sign or light. Very concerning with traffic behind you or stopped on an incline. I brought my truck back into another dealership Saturday, February 15th for a closer look. I received a call later stating that the 'reprogramming' was completed, but there was another recall due to the wrench symbol being shown on my dash indicators. Fortunately for Ford Motor Company, unfortunately for me, my truck is 4,000 miles over the limit to have this second recall costs covered. Parts and labor will now cost me $600. It doesn't take a mechanic to realize that sudden shifting in a transmission will cause permanent damage. It also doesn't take a mechanic to realize that this is the cause of my further transmission damage, which will now require a large amount of money to fix something that I have already been told was fixed twice. Why is Ford not covering these costs? Why did Ford wait so long to notify me? It feels as though they deliberately waited knowing that trucks like mine would exceed the mileage limit in the time it took them to enact the first recall. Do I have any options?

  I have already gotten the software update. It has not fixed the downshift issue. Also the truck shudders like crazy like its going to fall apart.

This is bullshit. That's where all the sensors are, and is clearly the problem.

I got my recall notice and made an appointment with the Dealership I purchased the truck through to have the transmission recoded even though up to that point I had not experienced any of the downshifting problems. I only waited about an hour and the Service Dept. gave me my keys and said it was all done. Shortly (days) after I was traveling on a main roadway (4 lanes) at 60 mph and the truck went from 6th gear into 1st gear with no warning. I was almost struck in the rear before I could move the transmission into neutral and coast onto the shoulder. I shut the truck down, restarted, and had no more issues for a week. I was bringing my son home from the hospital after having a back surgery where his back was fused with a plate when the truck did it again. The truck was taken back to the dealer and they kept it for over a week. This time the deal said my truck may not have been required to have the fix done since I have a 5.L V-8 and the recall was only for the 6 speed six cylinder engines and 6 speed transmissions.The truck ran fine for the next few weeks. Last Sunday while on a 500 mile return trip from Maine to NJ the transmission downshifted twice in the same day. I simply moved the selector into neutral and back into drive and it shifted normal. I made another appointment but can't get in for two weeks. The dealership is now saying if I didn't have the extended warranty Ford won't do anything since their records indicate the repairs have been made already. That just isn't right.

  I was driving CHRISTMAS night with my 2 and 4 year little girls when my 2013 F 150 downshifted to first gear going 75 mph. Ruined my transmission and we had to wait an hour and a half for a wrecker to come tow us an hour and half back home at my expense. Ford has been dodging me for 6 months now. Me and my little girls could have been killed. Im all for a class action lawsuit how do we do it?

• MarkJune 28, 2019 at 1:25 pm

  Same issue with mine last week. At Ford now as we speak. Advised there is another recall to redo what was not done right the first time. Doing a out 40 when mine did the wrench on the screen. Speed showing zero and scared the crap out of me.

I was doing about 45 miles an hour and it felt like i had been hit by a mac truck in the rear end. It broke my U-Joint and screwed up the transmission to the point that my local repair shop found chunks of metal in the transmission pan. I received the "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" Letter in March of 2019 but FORD has not established a repair procedure for the 2013 6 speed transmission. I managed to start a case with FORD CAS-17940987-N5K1F4 but now it has been over a week and the dealership is not getting a response as to how to proceed. Supposedly the recall team is saying oh well the transmission is not showing the right code. I don't know what code do you need when it locks up the wheels on the truck and feels like someone slammed in to you. If anyone is going 60 or on a wet or gravel road when it happens they will be dead. Ford provided an additional case number with no additional information CAS-21844280 Maybe it is class action time??? #FORDRECALLCLASSACTION

  I have a 2013 Ford F150 that is experiencing the downshifting at high speeds. Ford will not do anything about the issue. I feel the truck is unsafe to drive and all they tell me is they are working on the problem. Lets start a class action!!

This has been occurring with my F150 since January 2019. It’s now May 2019. I’m quite disgusted. Fortunately , no accidents yet but this problem has resulted in several close calls. I’ve almost been rear ended countless times. Is there not a class action suit regarding this. I would gladly participate in one.
