2013 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

Driving at normal rate of speed around a right hand turn. Truck spontaneously downshifted in the turn causing tires to spin. Back end of truck slid sideways as the road was wet at the time. Luckily there was a gap between oncoming traffic or there would have been an accident. After regaining control of the vehicle, a wrench icon appears on the dashboard, then the airbag icon lights up. My speedometer/ odometer/ fuel economy gauges are not working. I pulled off the road for safety. Change plans to turn around and go back home versus continue on my 45 minute drive to my appointment. This happened only 3 miles from my home. My truck had little power on acceleration when going back home. After hours of searching online it appears it could be the Molded Leadframe. It also appears there WAS a consumer program from Ford to fix this issue,...

While driving at a 40+ mph speed the truck suddenly downshift to 1st gear and all gauges stop working. 3rd will downshift to 1st and 5th to 3rd.

Vehicle: 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab Component: Rear Defroster / Rear Window Assembly Summary of Issue: Rear window glass shattered while driving when rear defroster was in use. Detail of Incident: On November 2, 2025, at approximately 5:00 AM, I was driving my 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Cab at approximately 65 mph on the highway near Mogadore, Ohio. The vehicle had been operating for around 45 minutes without issue. The outside temperature was about 43°F. I had the rear window defroster and side mirror defrosters activated. Without any impact, warning lights, prior cracks, or outside interference, the rear glass pane directly behind the driver’s seat shattered suddenly and completely while I was driving. There were no vehicles near me, and I inspected the glass immediately afterward and found no evidence of anything striking the vehicle. The failure occurred instantaneously and with a loud sound, which created a risk of driver...

I have a 2013 F150 XLT. It is displaying the same backup camera issues that the recent recall has described, however it is not included in the recall. When I put the transmission in reverse, the backup camera display is either blank, shows a momentary blue screen, then blank or shows a distorted reversed image with no guidelines. I'm just reporting this information in an effort to expand Ford's recall to all years/models effected by this backup camera fault. Thanks.

We took our Ford F150 King Ranch to our local mechanic. The vehicle would shift down into a lower gear when traveling at speed limit. After that, that speedometer stopped working and other gages were inoperable. This happened several times before we contacted out mechanic for diagnostics testing. The trouble code P0722 / 6R80 Transmission high gear engagement from a stop. In February 2019 Ford issued a safety recall stating these vehicles may suddenly downshift to first gear, possibly causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. The information I have obtained directly from the Ford website "Dealers will reprogram the recalled Ford F-150's PCM, free of charge. The repair is currently available". We purchased this vehicle from CarMax in 2021 and were not made aware of this recall. I contacted our local dealership, AutoNation Ford, that we had used for regular maintenance...

The issue involves the rear backup camera system on my 2013 Ford F-150. The camera functions intermittently — sometimes it goes completely black, other times it freezes and does not change image, and occasionally displays a message that says "Camera Unavailable." This happens unpredictably and may change mid-use, even while the vehicle is actively reversing.e component that has failed is the rear-view backup camera system, which appears to be a software-related malfunction (as similar issues have been recalled in newer Ford models). The vehicle and system are available for inspection upon request.This failure presents a significant safety hazard. Because the camera may stop working mid-reverse, it can result in an inability to see behind the vehicle, potentially causing injury to pedestrians (especially children or people in blind spots), damage to property, or accidents in tight spaces. The inconsistent nature of the issue makes it particularly dangerous, as a driver may...

Description: On July 7, 2025, I purchased this vehicle from AutoNation Spring, Texas. At the time of sale, the dealership did not disclose that there was an active safety recall on this vehicle. I only learned of the recall after the purchase, when I checked the VIN through NHTSA’s website. The recall remains open and unresolved as of today’s date. The Arizona AutoNation dealership has had possession of the vehicle for service since shortly after the sale, but no recall repair has been completed. I was never informed at the time of sale that this safety defect existed or that repairs were outstanding. I am concerned that the vehicle was sold in violation of federal and/or state consumer protection laws regarding safety recall disclosures. I request NHTSA’s review and investigation into whether this dealership and manufacturer have complied with all requirements for recall handling and notification. --- Key Points for...

Vechicle shuts off during high speeds causing driver to loose control and driver and passengers to be tossed around even while constrained with seat belts

When I put my Truck in Reverse...My Backup Camera goes BLACK with NO PICTURE. Which has caused me to back into things.

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION STAYS IN FIRST GEAR TRANSMISSION BANGS WRENCH APPEARS ON DASH ALL CONTROL IS LOST

WRENCH displayed today, transmission was hard shifting trying to go in and out of gear

*transmission DOWNSHIFTS while driving at normal traffic speeds *Sudden stops in traffic *WRENCH appeared on dash, lost all digital numbers, I e. Speed...as soon as downshift

*transmission downshifted while traveling 15 mph *Unsafe condition traveling on roadway *Temporary loss of control *WRENCH appeared, shifted hard into first gear

My 2013 F150 had been acting strangely in showing a wrench on the LED screen and shutting off the electrical components on my dash. when this happens, it also sticks the transmission in between 3-5th gear. I am unable to shift down to 1st or 2nd gear, or up to 6th gear. After this happened a few times, it started to shift me in to Park and stop my wheels from turning. This happened to me 3 times while traveling down the highway at 80mph. All 3 times, it lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough to screech my brand new tires and leave marks on the ground as if I had slammed on my brakes. It returns to normal and continues down the road.

Driving on the freeway in traffic, driving approximately 10mph. Started to see smoke come from hood, checked gauges and all gauges were normal, no warning lights on. Pulled over and turned off vehicle and flames started from under the hood. Entire vehicle burned.

Truck is down shifting to 1st gear while on freeway at high speed. Causing no control and back wheels to lock up. Almost died. Ford says it’s not covered under recal

My vehicle is having unexpected downshifts. I was driving approx. 55 mph today and I felt something and saw it downshifted to 2nd gear. I pulled over and turned it off. Didn’t see anything odd under the hood and couldn’t get it to start again until the computer was reset. I googled and found that my year and model vehicle had a recall for this exact problem. Ford is advising that my vehicle has no recalls when I submit my VIN

This incident to my truck has happened twice. First time on [XXX] and this last time on [XXX]. I was driving and all of a sudden the truck downshifted, loss power even when pressing on the gas then again all of a sudden the tach. and the engine will Rev up very high then lunge forward. This last time my truck made a big jerk. This really scared me. I pulled over and called a tow truck because I was afraid to keep driving it. I had it towed to the Ford dealership, Mt. Orab Ford, where I just bought this truck from in Dec.2024. Iam waiting for them to let me know what they have found out. I have only owned thus truck for 3 months. Thes last couple of days I have been finding out information of some problems and recall of this 6 speed transmission. I have...

traveling on highway at speed of 65 to 70 mph and vehicle suddenly downshifted and experienced a loos of power. dashboard went off and I lost control of the vehicle. my safety was put at risk due to loss of power of vehicle. I could not identify anything wrong with the vehicle before it happened.

Due to an unresolved issue that Ford motor company is aware of with the Transmission “Molded Lead Frame” the truck will drop down into 1st gear from highway speeds and causes a huge safety concern if there should be someone traveling behind me. The speedometer will stop working as well as the mileage will disappear off the screen/all other information will go blank. I will have to stop the truck, turn it off and back on again and it will drive normal. When I bring to dealer; they state ford should be covering this issue: when I contact ford I am offered no assistance or remedies. They referred me to bring this safety issue to your attention. It is very concerning and I cannot afford another car at the moment.

Front passenger door and rear driver side door lock does not unlock from the outside when the truck is unlocked. Manually have to get inside the truck to unlock the doors. Eventually the front passenger door lock got stuck and the latch was not even working to keep the door closed.

Truck has been recalled for a lead frame issue with a 19N01 recall for csp ford refuses to fix the issue stating it's outside of warranty but truck will go into 5th gear and then slam down to first while driving, occasionally the transmission speed sensor fails due to this and trans won't shift out of 5th gear at all. This is happening with several years of the f150 series and ford isn't doing anything about it the f150s are hazardous on the road

Sudden downshifting while driving relating to transmission lead frame failure

Periodically tachometer revs, speedometer and odometer stops working, and the Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power/Electronic Throttle Control as well as the Service Engine Soon lights come on. Sometimes will reset when stopped, and the vehicle is turned off for about ten seconds before turning back on.

We had a recall for reprogramming transmission in March 2023 at ford dealer last week my son driving on highway and it downshifted to low speed almost caused a car to hit truck.

Not sure if it is the powertrain or the intercooler for the turbos but when you press the gas to get on the highway or at high speed on the highway and press the gas the check engine light blinks and the vehichal goes into limp mode. Easy to recreate and doesnt seem like ford has a recall for it or even a fix. Every eco boost truck ever made seems to have this issue and if you get rear ended because of it , that sounds like a safety hazard to me. The only fix I have seen from the f150 forums to youtube or anywhere on google is to drill a 1/16 hole in the intercooler and let sludge and condensation drip all over the place. Does not sound like a great fix to me.Not even sure if the intercooler is the culprit or if it's the power...

Transmission issue? Vehicle is not shifting correctly. Shifting is very rough and we are afraid to drive the vehicle. Local dealer said we can schedule an appointment... it would be 3-4 weeks. No warning lights or messages. (We just had a recall taken care of on our 2014 F150 for a shifting issue but had no symptoms.)

When you going down the road at 4550 mile an hour it just dropped down the first gear

AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) IN THE TRANSMISSION MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR.

2013 f150 truck wouldn’t get out of first gear from stop light, wrench light came on, speed odometer stayed at 0 miles. Took to ford dealership to have recall 19S07 done and was told this would not fix it, (needed a fix that was no longer offered bc I’m past 10 years mark) they did the recall and now the truck jerks when shifting gears and downshifts to first from any speed

About 3 weeks ago, I had come to a stop, and then when I hit the accelerator to come from the stop sign, the "check-engine" light came up, my odometer & speedometer seemed to stop working; additionally, I felt that the vehicle wasn't accelerating. When I arrived home, I turned off & then the vehicle back on; and everything since then seems to have been working. I have taken it too the dealership to see if they can determine this issue, and after 5 days, I still don't have an answer. But I did just notice the 2014 F150 recall, regarding faulty transmission, that was reported on, on June 25th; it seems very similar to what happened to my 2013 F150

Ford needs to recall and fix the 2013 f150s with the 6r80 transmission as well. It shouldn't be on the road has the same shifting issues the 2014 does and instead of fixing the recalls on all trucks they closed it

The truck I have is known to have a problem with the lead frame ford issued a recall on this vehicle however my vehicle was never fixed at all they just have it marked as no open recall and they are telling me that the vehicle is no longer covered by the warranty on the recall due to a time lapse and mileage being over. This vehicle was affected by this recall and it is a safety recall yet the vehicle was never properly fixed for this and it has ongoing issues that have to do with this recall.

MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED OUT. i WASNT EVEN DRIVING IT. i DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

This has now happened countless times. The truck will be in a gear, as I naturally speed up, the transmission will jerk and the truck will get stuck in the following gear. The truck will then be stuck in that gear and will not downshift. A big wrench light comes on, then turns off about 10 seconds later. In addition, the odometer lists dashes (---,---), no mileage measures. The speedometer stays at 0 mph even when driving in the stuck gear. Another light stays on, I think it is the airbag image. Everything stays as is until I turn off the truck. Once I turn off and turn back on, everything goes back to normal. I've taken the truck to Ford, but because there are no "check engine" lights and there are no codes, Ford will not cover. My mechanic has confirmed (without any codes) that the recall is TSB16-0008,...

Interior of rear window unexpectedly shattered while backing out of the driveway. Pieces of glass flew onto the back seat, fortunately no one was sitting in the rear of the truck at the time.

I was driving on the highway going 70MPH in 6th gear. Myself, my wife, and my 6th month old son were on our way to a doctors appointment when in the middle lane on the highway my truck decided to completely downshift into 1st gear. With doing so my truck locked up and I lost control of the vehicle almost colliding with a semi. I was very lucky to not have wrecked and got onto the shoulder safely where I had no power to my vehicle. I got it towed to a dealership and after paying out of pocket for a diagnostic they found that my truck had a recall with the oss sensor on the transmission witch caused significant engine and transmission damage resulting in $18,000.00 to fix. Apparently the warranty expires 10 years or 150k miles which my truck has surpassed both. I wasn’t warned about any recall...

Our speedometer stopped working and wrench light would come on. When driving the gears would shift to 5th. It happened really bad on the highways several times where we had to pullover for a good 20 minutes. Started happening a little over a month ago. They had my truck in the shop for 2 weeks We've had it looked at and fixed and they said it was the recall on 2011-2012 ford's f1-50s and some 2013 Ford f1-50s but we got charged for it.

While driving on the highway at approximately 70 mph, with my child in the car, the vehicle suddenly shifted into first gear causing the wheels to skid and the vehicle to stop in moving traffic. Luckily, I was able to get to the side for safety, but this could have been so much worse. When I called dealership they stated there was no recalls for this problem. Also, the vehicle is now in need of repair, I would presume as a result of the engine being shifted into 1st gear while traveling at highway speeds.

Diagnosed by local goodyear service. The leadframe on transmission need replacing. Truck randomly shuts off, shifts wrong & dash lights are weird. Ford dealer says not a recall & truck is too old for extended warranty. Ford customer service says the same. And this isnt a safely issue?! Dealer says $700+ to fix. Just spent nearly $1800 to fix a broken leaf spring - in the middle layer of the spring - & truck has never been overloaded - Ford Company would not tell me if that had a recall because it was not diagnosed by dealer. It was rubbing on 1 of new tires good thing we did not have a blowout!

I believe the power train is defaulting. It is available for someone to look at if they come to us, as it is not drivable. The safety of my family and other drivers on the road is at high risk, as the truck shuts off while driving at any given moment without warning. The problem has been ongoing ever since we had the transmission software recall issue, "fixed." We have taken the truck back to the Ford manufacturer, Airport Ford in Florence, Kentucky, twice, with no help of getting the issue resolved. The wrench light came on before the problem started. We looked into that by taking it to Airport Ford in florence Kentucky. The issue is still ongoing and we are currently no longer driving the vehicle as it will no longer stay running. This has been going on since we had the truck fixed due to a recall...

My speakers when they were working would make a ear piercing static output that would last a few seconds. It was very dangerous while I was driving bc it would scar me enough to jump. After about the 5th time, the speakers and radio no longer worked.

The defective part is the Transmission molded leadframe, their was a recall issued on Truck which I was not told until the problem occurred when I drivinh the truck I have taken truck in and told them the issue on the Transmission which I looked up and found the recall we contacted Ford Motor Company back in March 2023 and was told a letter would be sent to me for this recall to be done which I never received I contacted them again after I was told it would take 6 weeks to receive letter for the repair and was told the recall expired, this recall should of been fixed before truck was sold to me, I have tried to get this resolved it is not safe to drive the truck without this part being replaced, the engine light came on I took it in to Ford and had it...
