Vehicle dash lights will come on while driving (wrench light specifically) and vehicle looses all power and drops to 0 RPM 0 Speed. This has happened multiple times and is extremely dangerous! After 4 months, we finally got our appointment at a Ford dealership where they diagnosed the lead frame needs to be replaced. Truck is a 2013 Ford F150 with 114,000 miles and there is a bulletin for this concern but the truck is out of warranty by age. The total bill is $1,769.54 and I contacted Ford to see if they would help for customer satisfaction and was told no.

I have had a problem with the transmission molded lead frame 19N01 it also shows a wrench when this problem occurs. This caused my vehicle to not show the speed limit of my vehicle. It also caused my vehicle not be able to accelerate. I then worried about this problem due to this incident was on the highway and almost caused a crash.

My wife was driving my truck and the gear light came on the dash. The truck went into limp mode in the middle of traffic and about caused her to get hit from behind. I took the truck to Long Lewis Ford in Prattville Alabama and was told that I was a year out of warranty for the recall that is on the transmission for my truck. Ford knows they had issues with 2013 F150's but now they do not want to fix my transmission. So I have to spend $800 to 1k on fixing my transmission when Ford knew they have an issue and are willing to let people drive unsafe vehicles.

Ford recalled 107,850 2013 Ford F-150 trucks with 5.0-liter or 6.2-liter engines due to a transmission issue. The recall was issued on June 10, 2019, with the recall number 19V433000. The transmission could unexpectedly shift into first gear, regardless of the vehicle's speed This could cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash I took the truck to Ford to fix and they did not fix the issue after saying they did and confirming there was an issue. This appeared 2 months ago and since then I have been getting the run around from ford.

Trying to take off from a parking spot the truck would not shift from first gear. The exact same thing has happened about four or five more time since the first always in the same manner. One time it shifted into third gear and stuck there. When this happens the dash cluster does not read anything. it just shows what gear it is in. No rpm, no speed.

- Perryville, MO, USA

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at 55 MPH the wrench symbol illuminated and the vehicle lost motive power and went into LIMP Mode.

Vehicle was going around 55 mph and dropped out of gear and into limp mode or 1st gear. Happened yesterday as well around 55 mph with cruise control on. Used a scan tool and no codes given.

1 was driving 55 mph & it locked up on me shifted into 1st gear & is now stuck in 1st gear. I almosted wrecked luckely I wasn't far from home & it's been parked since.

- Pearcy, AR, USA

Driving on the highway and suddenly lost total power. RPMs dropped to zero, speedometer dropped to zero. Truck attempted to downshift immediately and caused the truck to jerk aggressively. All dashboard readings disappeared, mileage, etc. Wrench displayed on screen and airbag sensor lit up. Sudden downshifting of the vehicle and jerking could have caused a wreck or loss of control of the vehicle. Potential injury to passengers/children in vehicle. Pulled on side of road and turned off the vehicle. Restarted it with no lights on dash and gauges back to normal. "Limped" truck to the Ford dealership for inspection and it was confirmed to be the Lead Frame Sensor by stored code reading.

- Blair, NE, USA

I was traveling on the highway at a speed of 70 mph, when out of nowhere my truck downshifted to first gear; causing me to swerve to the side of the road. I had my vehicle towed to a shop where I was informed it was a module for the transmission and lead case which caused the malfunction. Upon doing the research I learned that it was a recall from the plant which my truck came from. Had repairs done at the tune of $5320. Also was told by a consumer service representative that I qualified for reimbursement, but then was told that my vehicle was not part of the recall which specifically displayed the exact symptoms and malfunctions of said recall-24S37.

I took my 2013 Ford F150 in on Feb. 15, 2019 due to a recall. They reprogrammed the software, only took a few minutes. This is recall #19S07. It was due to the truck possibly shifting from any gear into first gear suddenly. Very dangerous. I did not have that problem before or since the recall until one week ago. Pulling onto the highway, RPM's went very high (3500-4000) even though I was only going est. 25 MPH. My speedometer showed "0". This problem comes and goes and now I feel completely unsafe driving my truck. I contacted Ford customer service and I do not think they will fix this unless I cover the tab. I feel that this is unfair. I have taken it in and left it all day but they did not get to it, my local Ford dealer is out until mid November for service. My truck now gets stuck in first gear or downshifts into first gear and the instrument display goes wacky, no speedometer, etc. I noticed a green wrench icon light up yesterday when this happened. Over 1.2 million F-150's had this problem. Over 100,000 trucks did not receive the proper PCU reprogram and need new reprogramming. I believe my truck is one of these as I am now having the exact issues that the recall was supposed to solve. Fortunately, I have not been travelling at high speeds when this happens but this problem can cause the transmission to shift from any gear at any speed into first gear, which could be life threatening. According to Ford, it is the powertrain control module software that causes this problem. Trucks built at Dearborn Assembly Plant, 4/28, 2010 to 10/28, 2013 and Kansas City Assembly Plant, 5/18, 2010 to 11/18, 2013 have this problem. My truck's manufacture date is March 2013 so it falls into both of these timeframes. I feel that this is a severe safety issue and could result in serious injury or even death. I think that because the 2019 service recall did not solve the issue, since my truck has these exact things going on with it, Ford is responsible. Thnx

Upon getting a recall done for the OSS downshift my truck has been acting up. While in motion at about 40 mph yesterday my truck automatically downshifted into 1st gear. My tires skid and it jerked me really hard. I though I had hit something. If someone was behind me at that moment or I was going faster it could have caused a wreck. The transmission also does not shift out of 1st gear sometimes after stopping at a light or stop sign. This could cause a wreck also as I can't go over 5-10 mph as the RPMS redline because it will not shift. I can put it in manual mode and shift it sometimes but not always. Occasionally it will not shift past 3rd gear. Since the recall has been done the tech added Campaign 19N01. Upon calling the dealership that did the repair in Memphis TN they stated it had nothing to do with the recall (not sure how they can determine that without looking at it) and it sounded like I was having transmission problems. They are 4 months out for transmission repairs, so even if I wanted to pay for the repair and not try to go through the recall or extended warranty I cant for MONTHS! My engine light is on but have not had the codes ran. The Ford forum... [XXX] all states the same issues I am having. This seems to be a common occurrence and if your vehicle is out of the warranty or had already been done then you are on your own. The forum is stating it is the lead frame or output speed sensor on the transmission that is the issue. I have had so many issues with this FORD its ridiculous. My timing chain exploded as well and I had to purchase a complete new motor. This is a common failure with this model /motor Ford trucks. It also shows a wrench on the dash and the speedometer quits working and mileage, MPG and others just show dashes. Need a resolution from FORD so the customers do not have to fork the bill for THEIR faulty PARTS! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Periodically tachometer revs, speedometer and odometer stops working, and the Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power/Electronic Throttle Control as well as the Service Engine Soon lights come on. Sometimes will reset when stopped, and the vehicle is turned off for about ten seconds before turning back on.

The shift 3? to 4? are hit

- Lake City , FL, USA

There's been a very dangerous situation with my truck without any warning, lose all info with it's gauges on the instrument panel and the truck losing power with speed and the transmission locking up or not shifting gears and this causes the vehicles rpm to rev up extremely high to a 4 then sometimes a hard shift can be felt at times. This is creating a very dangerous condition on the highway when speeds are at 75 when without any warning it does this and the truck has felt like it was going to flip due to these problems when they happen or other vehicles are also in danger when the truck slows drastically in front of them while behind me. There's been a recall previously I've noticed on this truck regarding a code that I've been able to get on it when it happens and its PO720. There was a recall on this truck in 2019 that calls for a replacement of the molded lead frame which describes everything I just mentioned to you above BUT, this recall excluded covering rental vehicles (due to their inventory of parts) and low and behold I've just found out that my truck had been a rental vehicle in its past and during this period of the recall. I've notified the lienholder and Ford Motor Company of my issues and have gotten no help as to how I feel they are responsible for this fix and I think that either they should be made to repair any vehicle, rental or not, either way its a very bad situation which risks peoples lives. And if by some chance this truck did get the repair that was recalled back then, then I believe those parts are faulty as well and Ford needs to do another recall on this truck before an accident happens and someone gets badly injured or killed by it.

Driving down the highway fling 55 mph and truck shifts into 1st gear and almost makes me wreck. Part previously under recall but Ford says they will not fix. Original recall 19n01. Shut off vehicle and turned back on. I thought everything was normal but then a mild down the road the truck would not shift out of 3rd gear. This is a safety issue. I'm afraid to drive because of the chance of wrecking. During the entire time the odometer and speedometer both show zero so guessing speed.

- Montrose, CO, USA

Truck downshifts when trying to increase speed. Truck will not shift into all gears, the check engine light comes on, the speed odometer goes to zero and the miles per gallon screen goes blank. All these items happen at the same time while driving. Today the truck wouldn-??t take off. I had to shift gears manually to drive it with the console gear shift +/- buttons

- Conroe, TX, USA

Hello, on my 2013 ford f150, why driving the vehicle will at random shift from 5th gear to 1st gear, creating a massive loss of power and forcing me to loose speed rapidly. This puts my self, my family and those around me in danger. I have reached online that there is a current recall for 2014 models that do this, but not 2013 models. This seems outrageous to me. This is just as much of a safety concern. Why discriminate between the two years.

- North Port, FL, USA

I had all the recalls done to my vehicle that pertains to a problem with my vehicle suddenly shifting to first gear at freeway speeds. This was done about two years ago. On July 7th, 2024 my vehicle suddenly shifted to first gear while traveling at a rate of 55 miles per hour. My rear tires suddenly locked up and I lost control of my vehicle. Luckily I avoided an accident. I-??m reporting this information because Ford-??s recall to this problem did not solve the issue and this can cause accidents.
