Downshifts into 1st... Still...after the recall appointment. Reset, but continues and we have only had the truck a short time. It has almost caused a few wrecks and one with a trailer pulling machinery. We bought this truck to have a newer truck to haul our horses as well, and cannot do that. This needs to be taken care of! We have all ford f 150's in our family and hate to have to change to something else if this…

I have noticed a feature on newer vehicles which i believe is a cause for concern. The feature involves automatic illumination of the dash lights which leads drivers to believe their headlights are on when, in fact, they may not be.

Soon the problem increased to be both directions and i took it to the shop and they…

I looked out of my window a few minutes ago and…

My 2013 ford f150 xlt began flashing a warning saying service advancetrac. Then it immediately begins flashing shift to park. The truck then begins to downshift causing a rapid slowing of the truck.. When i get to the side of the road to stop i hear metal on metal grinding noises from the engine compartment that i believe is the transmission trying to shift to park... The truck then loses all blinkers and flashers…

The directional control lever on this vehicle requires the driver to engage the lever multiple times to indicate a change from a right turn to a left turn and vice versa. For example, making a left turn from one roadway onto another roadway, and then needing to make a quick right turn off of the 2nd roadway requires the driver to first disengage the left directional, and then in a 2nd motion, engage the right…
