While driving at 45 miles an hour on 4th gear my truck unexpectedly shifted into first gear, causing me to lose full control of my vehicle

- North Miami, FL, USA

T-connector from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford said its on national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. Mechanic verified cracked T- connector. Due to the number of cracked T-connectors and a national backorder, I feel there is a material deficiency in the T-connector and should be recalled for replacement. The vehicle was stationary when I noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. So far its cost me $219.99 and $507.32 to try and fix this. And it still leaks.

2013 Ford raptor super crew 27953 miles. Oil change 2 months ago. Oil life still at 69%. I went with the recommended Ford Motor Company synthetic and Ford Motor Company oil filter. I was on my way home from work about 10 minutes into my drive. I went to take off from a stop light and I got through the intersection and had an immediate reduction in power the truck was stuck at 1,000 rpms and would not do anything but slowly creep forward at 5 miles an hour. I limped to a lighted parking lot about a half block away as my low oil pressure light came on and a wrench icon on the dash. I shut it off and popped open the hood. I check my oil level transmission fluid level power steering level and everything was well above tolerances. I could find no problems and when I got back in the truck and started it, it ran fine all the way home. I just scanned the system and no error codes. The stop light road was at a slight downward angle and I had just below a half tank of 93 octane fuel. K and N air filter in stock holder. No other power train or engine modifications. Loss of power, power steering and decreased braking. It would have been very dangerous had it not been later at night.

T-connector (base part #8566) from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford indicates national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. I was told I was #17 on the waiting list at repair shop for the same piece due to the number of device failures due to recent cold temperatures in the Ohio valley. The vehicle was stationary for four days when I noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. Upon inspection, I found the coolant reservoir was empty and coolant draining all down the serpentine belt and pulleys. Mechanic verified cracked T- connector. Due to the number of cracked T-connectors and a national backorder, I feel there is a material deficiency in the T-connector and should be recalled for replacement. I've been told my vehicle is out of service for an undetermined amount of time. With a snow storm looming, this is unacceptable!

While traveling in our 2013 F150 with 37,000 miles from Wisconsin to Texas on interstate 35 at 70 mph towing a 4000 lb trailer the engine suddenly shut down and the gold wrench illuminated. Had to quickly pull to the shoulder to get out of the way of traffic to avoid getting rear ended. The ecoboost engine went into limp mode when the gold wrench appeared and max speed was about 2 mph with the trailer attached. Turned the engine off and when restarted after 10 minutes it seemed to be back to normal. Went to the nearest Ford dealer, rusty eck Ford, wichita, Kansas where a selftest was performed. No codes were found, no tsb or ssm found, but said they suspect the throttle body is going out (invoice no focs664277). Continued on our trip and the same thing happened four more times that same day. The next day of our trip South the truck ran flawless during the remaining 500 miles of our trip. Since we have reached our destination the problem has occurred once during local driving. I am planning on replacing the throttle body but no one can assure me the this will fix the problem. This sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous and depending on the specific road and traffic conditions could result in an accident with injuries and/or fatalities. We were terrified driving through fort worth construction at night with heavy traffic and absolutely no shoulders for many miles fearing the gold wrench would appear.

Two days in a row my vehicle stalled after violently shaking the steering wheel, I had a complete power loss. I coasted to the side of the road and waited to restart the engine. After about 5 minutes I was able to restart my vehicle. The second time it happened I was one the way to the dealership. The dealership called me back to inform me that my vehicle was driven for 26 miles and could not duplicate. I have been researching online to see if there have been any issues. Back in 2013 an investigation was started for this issue. I spoke with the dealership and the service department told me they could not do anything because the cars computers did not throw a code. Not only did nothing happen Ford did not mention any tsb that would help or fix this issue, after I asked about any tsb that would help or fix. Still I got nothing from the dealership.
