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.

- Hickory, NC, USA

My 2010 4.6 2wd shuts down while driving at 40mph on the street. I've changed so many things and now just ordered thottle body yo see if it helps. No one can diagnose this problem because no check engine light. I lose power steering and all power to the vehicle. This needs to be recalled by Ford because it is very dangerous and almost caused me to have accidents with my kids inside.

- White Marsh, MD, USA

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While reversing, the vehicle shook violently and the contact had to depress the accelerator pedal with force to get the vehicle to move. Consumer stated shifting into second gear began to jerk the truck like. I was being hit from behind. The same jerking sensation was felt while the truck was in reverse. The accelerator needed to be press far down for the truck to move in reverse. The vehicle was taken to Liberty Ford of maple heights (5500 warrensville center rd, maple heights, oh 44137) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 78,189.

- Cleveland, OH, USA

Vehicle suddenly downshifted to first gear at 65mph causing skid. Then downshifted to neutral.

- Austin, TX, USA

Sometimes while driving, usually in mountainous terrain or pulling a load, the vehicle will down shift multiple gears. Instead of a progression of one gear at a time, it is a sudden shift from le. Fourth to second or first. I don't know the exact reduction as my vehicle does not have a gear indicator. It occurs sporadically with no warning. This action has never caused a dangerous situation but is concerning. The engine RPM has jumped to the red line which I feel may cause engine and/or transmission problems.

- Sheridan, WY, USA

Takata recall. When pulling out into traffic on a very busy highway as the on coming traffic speed limit is 50mph, I'm pulling out on the highway with a safe distance between cars on this busy road as I accelerated my 2010 F150 FX4 super crew cab "with my family in the truck I might add" the truck just down shifts and it slams me and my family forward "like I hit a tree going 30mph" the truck shuts off completely and a symbol of a wrench pops up on the dashboard. With no power steering, no power breaks, no way to safely move the truck off the road at this point due to the traffic I was trying to avoid was passing me going at least 50mph almost getting rear ended by several cars and semi trucks, I push the flashers on and pray that nothing bad happens and coast until the truck finally comes to a stop after about 30-45 seconds. I get out of the truck after the group of vehicles pass by and inspected to see if the engine or transmission was blown up or leaking fluid and nothing at this point so I'm stressed out because my family and I could have very well died and there is no proof of this when I restarted the truck no symbols was present when inspected by a mechanic. I keep telling the mechanic that it has no power any more, it sooooo sluggish I can't even drive the truck much anymore, only on short trips to the store. We had to cancel or vacation and cancel the purchase of a camper for our vacation. I'm sorry but if Ford was a real symbol of safety and security of its owners this would have never happened in the first place. This needs to be fixed asap!!!

Transmission or torque converter causes the truck to shakes and shudder. It also down shifts and is a kicking feeling. At times feeling like someone has rear ended ya. Throws head back it's so violent. The shaking and shuddering typically starts at around 38-54 mph. Then for no reason at different speeds up to 80 mph. Anytime there is a uphill grade it constantly downshifts and shakes even more. The shudders are so violent the mirrors can't be used to see anything. I can feel it in my teeth. This happens on city streets and on the highway. Have taken in several times for this problem since it was new. Even when talking on bluetooth phone- others have said they could hear it over the phone. Ford has refused and never fixed this problem and told me this is normal for the transmission to protect itself. What bs. I've never had a vehicle that did this on purpose. There are thousands of complaints about this from before 2010. Why isn't my year model truck covered and those before mine?? now there's a recall for this very thing for 2011-2013 year models. My truck is dangerous and a pain in the butt to drive. Ford needs to fix all of the vehicles produced with this problem not just 3 years. 🤬 I'm doing this on my phone. I have records and if needed you can come drive with me and see for yourself. Sure hope me or one of my family members doesn't get hurt driving this truck because of this crap. Sorry, really pissed that Ford is going to continue to get away with screwing folks over. Happens from 2010- to present. (2019)

My transmission downshifts at very wrong times causing major jerking and sudden deceleration. It doesn't happen all the time. It is random but it has done it atleast 3 times.

- Jacksonville, IL, USA

The vehicle was taken to thayer Ford (located at 18039 N dixie hwy, bowling green, oh 43402, (888) 440-5271) where it was diagnosed that the power train control module software needed to be updated. The software was updated, but the failure recurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

- Parkville, MD, USA

The vehicle downshifted abruptly without warning or indication at 75mph on the highway locking the rear tires causing the vehicle to spin out of control almost rolling over and making contact with other vehicles traveling at high rates of speed. The vehicle was diagnostically checked and inspected at a Ford service center. They indicated that there was no mechanical or electrical failure to repair. The truck currently operates in the same manner as it did prior to the transmission downshifting. In my opinion, the vehicle exhibits the same failure mode that Ford fixed under recall 16S19. This design flaw is extremely life threatening and hazardous. I have parked my vehicle. I contacted Ford 4 times and even though that 1 individual from Ford did indicate that my vehicle was indeed affected by the design flaw associated with the 16S19 recall, it was not on the "list" of vehicles to be recalled so it will not be fixed due to a VIN number selection methodology that he didn't disclose. I have no way to fix the vehicle. The reason is because new software must be flashed on the power train control module in order to remove the design flaw and I have no way to know if the new software on the PCM that was developed for F150S through years 2011 - 2013 is compatible with the 2010 F150S and Ford will not allow you to talk to any technical reps to determine if that is possible. The dealership service technicians cannot determine system software compatibility either and are extremely risk adverse to doing anything that was not approved by Ford considering the safety implications of this problem. This vehicle and others like it are just ticking time bombs on the highway. Mine will be parked until something is done by NHTSA or Ford.

While driving down the road engine shut off. When slowing down to make a turn, engine will shut off. And I rolled across intersection, lost brakes and steering. In motion most of the time. On city streets.

Cab leaks after rain can be a mold issue some time when turning going off curbs or hitting months you hear a banging noise the driveshaft it will pop when take off I had it grease by Ford little bit better once in awhile still does. All this still go

- Mims, FL, USA

Transmission slips out of gear at times. Occasionally it downshifts and the truck slows down fast, other times it feels like it just slips out of gear altogether into neutral, then the engine rpms go high and the truck slows down. Both times, when the transmission goes back into gear, it creates a large thump sound and the truck jumps, occasionally spinning my tires. This happens both while driving on the road and while driving from a stop sign/light and has happened multiple times since I have owned the truck. At least 10 to 15 times per month.

- North Chesterfield, VA, USA

In addition to the 2013 Ford F150 transmission recall, I have a 2010 F150 that had the same transmission problem where the transmission shifts to first gear at speed. I was going 70 mph with my wife and daughter on a Virginia interstate highway when mine dropped from 6th to 1st gear in August 2011. Fortunately I was able to shift into neutral and safely get it off the road, but this transmission problem has been going on longer than the current recall reports. I feel this is a safety issue that Ford should address, since my transmission still has a hard shift from time to time, so I don't feel the issue is resolved. They have replaced the megatronics unit (twice), and the torque converter, but it is still the same transmission and drive train which I still feel is not 100% fixed. I see now that the recall might be expanded to include 2011 and 2012 F150S, but I feel it should be expanded to include those 2010 models too, since I had the same issue with my 2010 F150.
