am concerned the 6r80 transmission has had problems with the lead frame.it has been acting up where causes not to go in traffic. Seen that my truck has numerous tsb & recalls for this trans.made at the Dearborn plant for f150 oct.11 2011 through feb 27 2012.see the multiple technical service bulletins for 6r80 16n02,19s07, nhsta 16v248000 & safety recall 16s19 powertrain control module programming. I believe this should also be also extended to cover my transmission.it is a safety issue also.

The engine RPM's went way up and the Service Light came on in the truck and the ignition was shut off (automatically and not by the key) truck had electrical power but engine was no longer running and the truck coasted to a stop on the side of the highway.

#11563567 | Crash
The vehicle was placed in 4 wheel drive (high range) and operated normally. Stopped the vehicle and placed it back into 2 wheel drive (indicated on dashboard as in 2 wheel drive). Placed transmission setting into "Park" but did not apply emergency brake. Turned off engine and exited vehicle. Vehicle proceeded to roll backwards down a slight hill until it crashed into tree (damage was limited to body panel). In summary, although the transmission was in park, it acted like it was in neutral. After several attempts of placing the vehicle in and out of 4 wheel drive, it did reestablish the Park mechanism. I have been able to recreate the situation with it continuing to fail.

DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 AND IT DOWNSHIFT DRIVING AT AROUND 35 TO 40 ON A CITY STREET. I STOPPED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. UPON TURNING IT BACK ON I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT PUT THE TRUCK IN SAFE MODE. ALSO THE MILEAGE WOULD FLASH ---- INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. I TOOK IT TO MIDWEST SUPERSTORE IN HUTCHINSON, KS AND THEY FOUND CODES P0720 & P0722 WHICH LEAD TO THE DIAGNOSIS BEING THE LEAD FRAME NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEADFRAME AND VALUE BODY ARE ONE PIECE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOGETHER. I FOUND THAT 2011-2013 FORD F150 HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL 19S07 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AND THEY WILL NOT HELP DUE TO NO...

THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPING HAS WHAT IS CALLED A SLIP BUMP STOP. UPON TAKING OFF IF NOT FULLY STOPPED (LIGHT CHANGES) THE TRUCK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE TRANSMISSION FORCES IT INTO A GEAR. WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT CHIRPS THE TIRES AND SLAMS THE TRANSMISSION HARD ALMOST LIKE A TRANSMISSION MOUNT IS BAD. MOUNTS ARE STILL GOOD. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED BY MECHANIC AND SAID IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. $160 WASTED. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT AFTER THE TRUCK WARMS UP. THE SLIP BUMP STOP WHICH JERKS THE TRUCK FORWARD WHEN STOPPING ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN GEAR. HOWEVER CAN PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STOP WITH NO PROBLEM. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FULL CAUSE IS. EVERY MECHANIC HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION BUT THAT GETS VERY COSTLY. THE SLIP BUMP STOP...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTS, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR SMALL TIME, THE VEHICLE JERKS WITH A ROUGH SHIFT. ALSO WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS 55-70 THE VEHICLE BEINGS TO SHAKE MORE SO THE TRANSMISSION AREA AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND AS THIS OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE...

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OR PULLING A LOAD, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT MULTIPLE GEARS. INSTEAD OF A PROGRESSION OF ONE GEAR AT A TIME, IT IS A SUDDEN SHIFT FROM LE. FOURTH TO SECOND OR FIRST. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REDUCTION AS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A GEAR INDICATOR. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY WITH NO WARNING.

THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY LOCKING THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST ROLLING OVER AND MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSTICALLY CHECKED AND INSPECTED AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE TO REPAIR.
