Driving all of a sudden engine will downshift.

- Duanesburg , NY, USA

Vehicle shut off while driving approx 30 mph making a slight right hand turn. Thus losing all throttle, power steering and power brakes. Vehicle error message is low oil pressure but oil level is checked out to be good. Based on online research the culprit is an overheated fuel pump fuse and a very common issue.

Anytime I idle/ idle low/ slow down the vehicle shuts off! In intersections, drive-thru's, stop signs. Then it gives me a low oil pressure warning.

While driving at approximately 60mph my vehicle shifted into first gear and aggressively skidded into oncoming traffic with my wife and two daughters in the truck. After regaining control, I drove it to my residence where the issue was repeated two times at slower speeds. After calling my local Ford dealership, they stated that there were two open recalls relating to the issue, 19S07 relating to the PCM and 19N01 relating to the leadframe. Apparently the two issues have resulted in many crashes and multiple fatalities. 19S01 was completed on my vehicle in 2019, however they did not mention or fix the leadframe issues in 19N01 despite it already being an open recall with national attention. I did not receive a recall letter or notification despite the serious nature of the issue. While I was within the warranty window for the leadframe at the time of service for the first recall, I have recently driven past 150,000 miles. The same Ford dealership stated that while the two recalls would apply, they were under a 10 year 150,000 mile warranty. I am within 10 years, but at 163,000 miles. After discussions with my dealership and two customer service representatives at your call center, I am extremely disappointed to hear that this known safety issue will not be fixed on a 9 year old vehicle because I am 10,000 miles outside of your warranty issue.

Was driving on the highway when all of a sudden the wrench icon on my dash came up, airbag light, and my speedometer dropped to 0. My truck also dropped a gear and slowed down so much that I was almost rear ended by a semi truck. I took it to my dealer to see if there was a recall but apparently the recall for the lead frame, expired for my truck. I personally think that there should be no expiration on this recall because it's a safety issue and someone could get hurt or killed because Ford doesn't wanna take care of their mistake.

- Georgetown, SC, USA

On July 22, 2021 I was traveling at approximately 45 mph on a three lane divided highway when the automatic transmission shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear, locking the rear wheels and initiating a skid. Moments later the transmission shifted back to 6th causing a loud bang and severe jolt to the vehicle and propelling it forward. The wrench light came on and the speedometer dropped to zero (even thought the vehicle was moving forward) and the passenger airbag lights came on. I was able to avoid colliding with the vehicles around me and was able to pull off the road and turn the vehicle off, but it was a near-miss and could have caused a major traffic accident. I took the vehicle into the local Ford dealer for repair and was notified that the vehicle is subject to a "Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01". The notification letter is attached and ignores any risk to driver safety and consequently Ford downplay the entire event. In addition, the repair is likely to take at least to the end of August because the required parts are on back order. Ford do not seem to care that this is a safety problem and are unwilling to help with either identifying spare parts or providing a back-up vehicle (rental or loaner).

After starting the vehicle and putting it into drive, the vehicle would not shift out of 1st gear. RPS revved nearly to red-line and even when I removed my foot from the gas pedal, the revs remained high. Even when underway, the speedometer registered 0 MPH and the odometer was showing only dashes "-------------". After a short time, the wrench symbol appeared on the display and the airbag warning icon was illuminated. I pulled over and turned the truck off and back on and it operated normally. No error codes were stored and my service shop will not work on it since it is not happening all the time. On a different occasion about a week ago, I was driving up a residential street incline and the truck was not shifting from 2nd gear. I pressed the accelerator more and all of sudden the truck shifted extremely rough jerking myself and my passenger unsafely. After this the truck stuck in gear, displayed the wrench symbol and illuminated the air bag warning icon. This looks to be highly related to Ford Safety Recall 19S07 but my truck is not covered by this recall.
