I was driving about 55 mph when suddenly my 2013 truck down shifted to either first or third gear and I barely was able to control it to get off the road. The truck just bowed up and the vehicle behind me almost hit me. The speedometer stopped working and a wrench icon appeared. I tried to take off and the truck was stuck in third gear. Ford dealership said they would fix it if it was the OSS sensor. I paid to have it towed and they charged me over 2,000. There was a safety recall 24S37 on the 2014 with the 6R80 transmission the same kind my truck has. My 2013 did exactly the same thing as the 2014 and I believe it should have a safety recall. There was a extended warranty or something either 10 years or 150,000. My truck has 130,000. I talked to Ford...

I was driving on [XXX] in Georgia. I was going around 75 mph and my transmission dropped from 6th gear to 1st Gear my speed dropped from around 75 mph to 25 mph in less than a second. My safety and the safety of other vehicles/people were put in danger, I almost lost control of my steering and hit somebody in the right lane next to me. Three Vehicles behind me had to slam on their brakes and swerve around me to avoid rear ending me. When the vehicles transmission dropped gears rapidly, at the same time I got a gear wrench symbol across my cluster display, and I lost functionality of the vehicles mph gauge and gas gauge.

Driving on highway when a felt a slight jerk in the steering wheel. Then I discovered steering wheel required Herculean strength to turn the vehicle. I made it to a safe location, restarted the vehicle and was able to drive normally. My dash said there was a power steering assist fault. A week later it did it again. A few days after that, my power steering is gone and restarting the vehicle will not fix it. This is an unsafe condition and Ford should issue a recall.
The truck slammed into 1st gear going 55 mph on the interstate. Through investigation a speed sensor warning was the culprit. Not being able to have truck service for a month due to Ford Dealers being backed up Cavalier Ford sent a mobile mechanic out to me. He spent about 10 minutes on my truck handed me the keys and told me he did something with the computer mo parts are needed. He never test drove it to ensure the problem was corrected. When I went to drive the truck, the wrench light was still on and was worse than before. Actually stuck in first gear. After going around and around I was informed by Fors Customer Service they did their part, anything else I wanted done would be my responsibility financially because of the mileage. I didn't not think recalls had a mileage limit but they are insistent after...
So recently my 2013 ford f150 steering wheel starting acting up on me, by acting up it my steering wheel started locking up on me and jerking to the left I was on my way to the movie theater with my 2 daughters in the back seat luckily nothing happen but it was a scary situation to be in having your steering wheel locked up on you in the middle of traffic. Later that day I had my truck towed to a Tuffys mechanic shop where I was later told that ford had a recall on what ever was happening to my steering wheel, so I made an appointment for the next day thinking my problem was going to be resolved but it didn’t.

I was turning into gas station when I applied brakes to turn, power steering quit working and brakes, luckily there was no one exiting or i would have crashed into them. I was able to muscle steering wheel to make the turn. I then muscled steering wheel to a parking spot where brakes began to work. Dash board read check advance track there were no check engine lights or warning prior to turning. I then shut off vehicle then turned back on and it ran fine but drove with caution. This has happened 2 other times where power steering has feld but came back suddenly but this time on 2/11/22 I had no power steering at all for at least 60 to 70 feet. I have not had a mechanic or dealership look at because I don't know when it will happen its more of a hit and miss. The...
While driving the dash lit up power steering failure and the power steering went out causing temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The first incident was a week prior when there seemed to be a temporary loss of power steering. After inspection and tighening of connectors by a mechanic, the problem seemed to go away until to day when I had a total failure.

Traveling eastbound on Hatcher Boulevard at about 35 miles per hour the truck shifting down into first gear all by itself causing the rear tires to lock up and I lost control of the vehicle momentarily. Fortunately there was no accident. The guy behind me was well behind me. But it was real close. This is very dangerous
When driving, power steering stopped working and “service power steering” message is displayed on dashboard. Called Ford dealer and they said it has been a problem and only 2014 models have been recalled. Will cost approximately $2000-2500 to replace electronic rack and pinion. There were no warning lights or symptoms prior to failure. This is a safety issue and could have caused a major accident. Ford needs to step up and have a recall. There are thousands of complaints on-line about this issue. Truck is now sitting in our driveway.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering would lock up without warning.

After changing oil, mechanic was backing truck off ramp and experienced sudden difficulty steering. The mechanic attempted to drive truck to determine steering issue when the steering failed completely. Mechanic determined EPAS has failed and entire rack had to be replaced and programmed.
On 6/6/2021 I was slowing down to turn left into a strip mall and lost all power to my steering in my recently purchased 2013 F150 with 65,650 miles on it. This was only day 4 of me driving it as it was bought on 5/29/21. The battery warning appeared on my dash. I was able to maneuver my way into the parking lot safety, but this could have been a much worse situation if I was traveling faster, on a curvy road or needed to avoid something in the road (a child, tire, stalled vehicle). I was frightened for my life and fear this could happen again. Major safety issue not only for me, but other drivers on the road. The battery was not the issue and is currently at the repair shop being looked at.
The power steering assist fault warning engages and shuts down the power steering. Very dangerous while driving. Ford says this is not a known issue but according to the repair forums it is a problem. This has been an ongoing issue for my vehicle.
ONE DAY I WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT ON SAID POWER STEER ASSIST FAULT, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED UP. I TOOK THE KEY OUT AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS PULLING INTO MY APARTMENTS AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME BACK ON, BUT THIS TIME IT SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD 2000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE WHEN IT JUST DECIDED TO LOCK UP ON ME. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE MY CHILD WITH ME. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2014 WITH THE SAME THING, BUT YET I SEE A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES ONLINE WITH THIS VEHICLE
POWER STEERING FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE, ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS CRASH. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND PERHAPS SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BEFORE A RECALL IS INITIATED. AN ISSUE AS DANGEROUS AS THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY, WHETHER IT IS BY FORD, VOLUNTARILY OR MANDATED BY THE PROPER GOVERNING AUTHORITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ADVANCED TRACTION WARNING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO WRAY FORD (2851 BENTON RD, BOSSIER CITY, LA 71111, (318) 686-7300) AND WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN A TURN IN MY 2013 F150 AND THE STEERING GOES "STIFF" FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT FEELS LIKE I DON'T EVEN HAVE POWER STEERING OR ANY CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. AND IT'S TERRIFYING EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I'VE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE RAILING WHILE GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN ON A MOUNTAIN THAT COULD OF CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE CLIFF DUE TO THE LOCKED UP STEERING.
PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, JUST AFTER TRAVELING ON THE 65 MPH HIGHWAY, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND KICKED BACK HARD INJURING MY LEFT THUMB. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. THE TRUCK REMAINED OPERATIONAL OTHERWISE BUT THE STEERING REMAINED LOCKED. A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED SAYING "POWER STEERING FAILURE". HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE RESEARCH THE HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE F-150 STEERING AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AS THIS WILL, IF NOT, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. THIS IS THE LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN, PERIOD. THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR INEPT ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE.
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND A MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE SCREEN. IT SAYS "STEERING ASSIST FAULT". IT SHOULD HAVE SAID OMG DON'T PANIC AND SLOW THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY NOT TO DIE BECAUSE YOU HAVE LOST ALL OF YOUR STEERING CAPABILITIES. I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF I WAS AROUND TOO MANY VEHICLES OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN WERE DRIVING THE TRUCK. THIS IS SUCH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT ALL F150S WITH THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIRED. WITH ALL OF THE SAFETY MEASURES AND COMPANIES SUCH AS YOU GUYS WHY ON EARTH IS THIS TRULY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE ALLOWED? APPARENTLY, THE 2013 MODEL IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND MANY EASILY FOUND FORUMS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THIS ISSUE. FOR WHAT IS WORTH THE OTHER ISSUES...
THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS SITTING WITH NO KEY IN IT. THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THE HEAT ONLY WORKS ON LOW AND HIGH WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ON ANY OTHER SETTING. THE STEERING BECOMES TWITCHY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE FAULT AND ADVANCED TRACK WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE SAME FAILURE RECURRED LESS THAN TWO MILES LATER. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS DESTINATION AND CALLED CROWN FORD (256 SWAIN ST, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303, (910) 600-6598) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.
GOING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING GOT STIFF AND SEEMED TO LOCKUP. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED MY TRUCK, THE ADVANCE TRACK AND HILL ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT STAY ON UNLESS IT IS HELD DOWN. I HAVE QUITE DRIVING THE TRUCK UNTIL IT IS FIXED. IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN LANE CONTROL.
VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING RANDOM "POWER STEERING ASSIST" FAULTS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE POWER STEERING IS LOST ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED WHERE FORD HAS RECALLED SEVERAL TRUCKS IN THE SAME YEAR-MODEL RANGE AS THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME REASON DUE TO FAULTY PART. IS IT POSSIBLE THEY SIMPLY MISSED THIS VEHICLE OR DOES THE RECALL NEED TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER THIS VEHICLE AS WELL?

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP AS I WAS HAVING 3 WARNING LIGHTS COME ON & WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL IT MADE A LOUD NOISE. THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE & WHEN THEY RETURNED THE STEERING LOCKED UP & ALMOST CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT A BUILDING. THE STEERING LOCKED UP WHICH CAUSED YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO STEER. IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED WHEN I WAS TAKING MY SON TO TOWN WE WOULD OF WRECKED THE TRUCK. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE & THEY SAID I CAN'T DRIVE IT.
BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE AND STEERING SHAFT BAD FOUND ON 09/22/2020 AT INSPECTION STATION
THE STEERING WOULDN'T MOVE AND NONE OF THE TURNING SIGNALS WORK.
ON 8/29/2020 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 FORD F-150 AND I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN A INTERSECTION AND RIGHT WHEN I WAS TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL IT FROZE UP AND BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND PULL THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT WITH ALL MY MIGHT AND ALMOST WENT OVER THE CURB.

AFTER GOING ONLINE AND RESEARCHING THE STEERING PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THERE 2013 FORD F-150'S. EVEN OTHER YEARS OF FORD F-150 HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS ALSO. THE 2014 F-150 HAVE A RECALL ON THERE STEERING SYSTEMS.
