2012 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

While driving at any speed, 55 , 65 my truck downshift to 1st gear. It locks up the back tires and the truck starts squealing. And sometimes while driving it just jumps into limp mode into 3rd or 5th gear and it wont come out of 3rd or 5th gear. I do understand there is a recall for this but Ford is telling me my truck is not included in the recall.

I had just gotton on route 5 north from the Agawam rotary. After I merged onto route 5 I drove a short distance then I heard a loud noise from the rear of my vehicle. Immediately after the loud noise my rear end kicked out and I lost complete control of my truck. I hit the brakes and tried to slightly counter steer and I still had absolutely no control over the truck. I then proceeded to go over a straight edge bridge curbing and then a bridge guardrail. I did not hit any potholes,their were none and I was driving in a straight line at approximately 40 mph. My truck was hanging over the bridge.

Affected vehicle: Drivers side door latch stopped latching entirely in frozen conditions and then thawed conditions. A frozen door latch, or a bent or kinked door latch actuation cable, may result in a door that will not open, will not close, or opens while driving condition, increasing the risk of injury. This year needs to be added to the recall. Recall 17S33

“I need to file a complaint because two dealerships refused to perform the required diagnostic for federal safety recall 19S07 on my F-150. They stated they will not replace the lead frame under ANY circumstance, even if the recall-related OSS failure damaged it. Both dealers refused the mandatory recall procedure. My truck is showing ALL recall symptoms, including speedometer dropouts, PRNDL flashing, gear indicator cycling, and erratic shifting. I need Ford to contact the dealership and authorize proper recall handling.”**

The backup camera will show an error on the screen inside the cab periodically then it will come back up fine. It will also flicker the image intermittently or blank out for a moment the pop back on. It's been exhibiting this behavior for close to a year

Wrench icon came on, truck wouldn’t shift out of first gear, speedometer and mileage stopped working. Lead Frame recall according to my mechanic, $2,000 fix out of pocket. Truck only has 140,000 miles but is a 2012 so Ford says I’m outside of the free recall replacement. Had no problems at all until over 135,000 miles, ridiculous that this is paid out of pocket when issues don’t arise until after the approved date

Previously had the vehicle diagnostic at Georgia Lina automotive into which I can provide the diagnostics later I was advised that it may be a internal issue dealing with the instrumental cluster a continuously battery warning flash on the dash panel. I was also told that it may be a electrical problem that even cause a fire internally which may damage the vehicle. I was told that out of pocket calls would be $1,956.05 I reviewed all of the issues that are considered or recall and wiring was most definitely listed under recall versus warranty. I've most recently had the issue of the powertrain warranty for the transmission taken care of under the customer satisfactory program. Unfortunately they did not have this particular issue of the instrument cluster listed due to faulty wiring. Now there maybe many others that face the very same issue, for it seems to also affects...

Suddenly downshifting into low gear. Recall not being accepted by ford. Please help

I have this exact problem (usually get an inverted, distorted, or blank image (blue screen)) with the backup camera on my 2012 F150. It's been happening for about two years. Why does the recall only go back to 2015? "Ford is recalling about 1.5 million vehicles in the United States due to a rear-view camera issue causing inverted, distorted, or blank image, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Sept. 9. The recall affects select vehicles from model years 2015 to 2019 of Lincoln MKC, Lincoln Navigator, Mustang, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Expedition, Edge, Transit, Transit Connect, Econoline and Ranger, NHTSA said."

I have a 2012 F150 that has an issue with its Output shaft speed sensor, at random times my speedometer and odometer will quit working and my the transmission will make hard shift or won’t shift at all while driving.

The backup camera is spuratic in its operations. It works sometimes, but then it goes blank on the screen, or flutters. Also some times the screen shows clear picture, but the picture is 180 degrees out. What is on the left of the truck shows on the screen as on the right.

The backup camera intermittently work then gose dark and won't come back on it dose it while backing up

Three of my four doors sporadically fail to close and latch. When I open the door the latch does not fully open, so when I try to close the door the latch prevents it from closing. Maybe it is just normal wear and tear, but I understand there was a recall for something with latches on this era of f-150s, and my VIN is not part of that. I'm reporting this in case it's useful information and in case it indicates the recall should be expanded. So far I have been able to use a screwdriver to push the latch open, and the door will close and latch after that. I can not replicate this consistently.

Sudden shift into first gear at any speed. Dash lights flickering between p,r,n,d. Tool light coming on dash.

I just got the truck in September 24 and just found out that the recall was never fixed on it valvo body lead framing is acting up on me now I just want it fixed since I have the car fax to prove it was not fixed at all I don't have the money to fix my self I am on disability and I had my family in the truck when I looked at my speedometer and it was not working but the RPM was and the engine light was on

My 2012 F150 has been experiencing the same rearview camera issue the 2015 Ford F150-450s have been have issues with that can intermittently display "a blank or distorted image," reducing the driver’s view of what’s behind the vehicle – increasing the risk of a crash. This has been happening for the past year and has been found on several message boards stating the same issue.

I went to Maplecrest Ford in Unión New Jersey to resolve this recall which is to include a Lead Frame replacement because the truck dropped gears and I almost crashed thanks to this recall they refuse to fix the issue only state to me they reprogrammed what was to be done and they said the rest is not their issue because the title is salvaged. Whether or not the title is salvaged it is their responsibility to fix the issue so that other drivers myself and my family are safe . I’m really upset simply because they just want to charge for these recall services when it is there obligation to fix for all involved safety.Im addition this vehicle has a airbag recall of which they also refused to fix so if I’m driving this airbag can deploy and who knows what damage can be be done not only to...

My truck would shift gears and I would feel a kick. Then the speedometer would drop, and the airbag sensors would turn off. At times the dealership states it is an issue with the Transmission Lead Frame.

Transmission will abruptly shift into 1st gear at slow speeds. Transmission has been checked and there are know known mechanical issues with the unit. I saw an article where some 2011-14 F-150’s had the same issue.

The problem with this vehicle is the body control module has gone out. It controls everything from the safety functions to back up cameras and engine function and starting. My truck first, lost its back up camera within the first year of purchase, then the driver side, turn signals, stopped working, the battery drains overnight, and the latest issue is that the truck will turn off while driving down the road. Three months ago, the engine cut off and all systems locked up while I was driving 45 mph in town. There are no issues with any other system in the truck. Mechanics have tested everything and state. It is only the body control module. I am unable to purchase a body control module from Ford and my mechanic, the Ford mechanics, the Ford distributor for this region, nor Carmax, where I bought the car can get the part because...

Automatic transmission dropped out of gear while driving on the Interstate going around 60-65mph today. The wheels locked up and the vehicle just reved like it was in neutral. From other Ford owners (Unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash) My truck shows no mileage and the airbag light is on.No inspection has been performed as of today. Recall # 19507

Had swollen lug nuts Had to buy breaker bars to loosen them. Ended up destroying most off them Can't reuse them

Vehicles cuts off while driving at ramdom speeds Can be 20, 30, or 50

Exhaust manifold studs are breaking on the ecoboost V6 engines (Gen 1 and Gen 2 series trucks), causing exhaust fumes to enter passenger area of vehicle when the heater/AC is on. The exhaust studs are on the back of the engine and happen on both sides. Ford knows of the problem and refuses to recall to replace them.

In 2019, my power steering assist fault/service advance trac came on as i lost power steering... It's recalled on my year and model, but not my vin. Replaced the rack and pinion for the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) in September of 2019. Last week, so April 18,'22, my steering started getting stiff and binding. Last night, April 25,22, my power steering failed completely again. Ford refused to acknowledge it was the exact issue last time and it's extremely scary driving without power steering, esp when you don't know if it's going to go out while driving! This is a known problem and has not been addressed, outside the select vins.

Transmission shifts from fourth gear to first gear by itself.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while using the defroster, the rear windshield shattered. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a glass repair shop and was informed that the rear windshield needed to be replaced. The contact called and notified the local dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

On Friday, October 29, 2021, at about 6:30 PM, I was driving my 2012 Ford F150 Super Crew 4WD Platinum PU down a two lane highway at about 60 MPH, when I heard a distinct, loud "pop" or "bang", so loud it scared me. I initially thought I had been shot at or a decent sized rock had struck the roof of my PU with some good velocity. After the initial shock, I didn't notice anything being different. It was dark outside. After a few moments, I had no idea what had happened, but moved on. The next morning, I got in my truck and immediately noticed the passenger side of the back window was shattered. I inspected the window and clearly saw a heat signature deformation in the lower left corner of the right pane. This was also the initial spot of the shattering.The rear window defroster system had...

Driving all of a sudden engine will downshift.

When driving, vehicle will drop from 50 mph to 0, causing a sudden stop. Vehicle then will struggle to get out of first gear, and whine. Vehicle will not move in the speedometer, and will not shift past first gear.
