- Norman, OK, USA

Driving at freeway speed the transmission jumped into 1st gear and the rear differential locked, causing me to swerve and have to take avoiding action in hitting another vehicle. At the same time a check engine light and wrench symbol illuminated in the dash. Upon Diagnosis at my local Ford dealer the memory shows the code PO718 which is a turbine fault on the transmission sensor. This is a Similar fault found on other F150-??s which have been covered by the lead frame replacement program. Ford have informed me that they will not conduct the repair because my VIN has not been recorded as being affected. Clearly the fault has occurred and I need assistance to repair my truck.

I have the same symptoms that are covered under Compliance Recall 12C23, and Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01. Vehicle will sporatically go into limp mode at speed, causing hard shifts. If vehicle is shut off and turned back on, sometimes it will clear the issue on its own. I have reached out to Ford, and they tell me that although they're aware of the same exact issues between 2011 and 2013, my vehicle is not covered due to being a 2014 model year. This is same transmission that was installed in the 2011 to 2013 year vehicles. Currently the replacement part is on backorder. My vehicle has under 150,000 miles as required under the customer satisfaction program. I'd greatly appreciate for some one to look into this, and see if it can be extended to all Fords with the 6r80 transmissions. This is a very well known issue with these transmissions, all should be repaired before major damage or collisions occur.

- Shelton, WA, USA

Had to have lead frame changed in transmission because truck was shifting gears on its own. Some time it would lock the tires up which was a major hazard as the transmission dropped from 4th to 1st while traveling at 40 miles per hour. Also would start in second the shift to 5th one it-??s own.

- Dickinson, TX, USA

While driving down the highway, the transmission line rapidly failed and caused the vehicle to stop the motor. This was a sudden and rapid loss of transmission fluid and we were very lucky to be able to control the vehicle over to the side of the road. There were ZERO indicator lights to indicate a transmission fluid leak or issue prior to this sudden issue. When researching online, a Ford Certified Technician confirms that there is one VERY specific place on the transmission lines that ALWAYS breaks on the 6R80 transmissions. It is where the line bends upward to an aluminium quick connect that has failed and does fail on a LOT of these vehicles. Photographic evidence sent to me by my mechanic proved that my lines failed in the exact same place. The video of this issue that was posted by a Ford technician can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=xk8tBqh0Q7Y This is a huge safety issue as there is no warning before this fitting fails entirely. We were extremely lucky we were able to get to the side of the road safely.

- Watervliet, MI, USA

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the powertrain control module warning light appeared on the instrument panel as the vehicle stalled. The vehicle entered LIMP Mode as the contact managed to coast the vehicle off the highway.

After resuming driving, the failure recurred a second time. The vehicle was then taken to Woody Smith Ford (535 S Yellowstone Hwy, Rexburg, ID 83440) to be diagnosed. The mechanic replaced the throttle body and motor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance.

While traveling at varying rates of speed, the transmission will shift on its own from 6th gear down to 2nd gear. This issue locks up the back tires while traveling at a high rate of speed and therefore is a huge safety issue. Especially since this happened with my children and wife in the vehicle. This issue has also started to cause multiple other features to not work including the speedometer from time to time. The check engine light does not resister this as a problem and it took Ford lots of convincing of what the actual problem was. There are no warning as to when the issue happens. It is intermittent and seems to have a hard time figuring out what gear the transmission should be in based on the speed of travel. This is a HUGE safety issue as I can be driving a high rate of speed and it downshifts without warning or I can be at a stop light and lose all power to the transmission and the vehicle will not move. Only the rpm-??s will increase but the vehicle does not seem to have power from the power train system. It has been taken to Ford several months ago. They diagnosed the issue. There was a recall for this exact issue for models 2010-2013. My vehicle was 1 month out of recall. This is an issue seeing as it is the same exact problem the previous models are having but the recall only extended to models up to 2013. The dealership has given me the run around and not returned my calls for service for several months.

- North Olmsted, OH, USA

This make and model is having the exact same 6 speed transmission issues as earlier recalls. The final straw was when the truck failed to register the speed and slowly crept into oncoming traffic at night, while I turned left. It bucks and shifts hard at neighborhood and highway speeds. More often than not, it is a down speed shift and aggressive, whiplash buck. I lose control of the vehicle and the speedometer goes to 0 even at highway speeds. I called into the hotline and made a case- Case ID 11514803 but I haven't heard anything. That replacement part is on back order for a year + so my truck is unsafe and inoperable.

- Globe, AZ, USA

While driving my truck several times now it shuts off in the middle of driving it without any warning. Many lights come on oil, wrench, check 4x4, limp mode, says remove item on passenger seat. Nothing on seat. Sometimes the truck starts back up other times it does not for approximately 15 minutes. Was almost rear ended by another vehicle one time. I have complained to Ford Motor company and unfortunately got no where with my complaint. I have read many complaints on the internet about the same problem and seems like it is only a ford truck problem. Widespread in the years I have seen complaints from 2006-2020 with the same problem. Something needs to be done before someone is hurt or even killed.

Same as 2013 recall, my transmission "locked" & had to replace the "lead frame assembly" at my expense. I've been told that the 2014 models are having the exact same problem as the earlier (recalled) model years.
