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 RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THIS IS NOT HANDLED TO MY SATISFACTION AND IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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 HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS USED AND HAS HIGH MILES SO I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BUT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR FORD AS THE TRUCKS LUNGE FORWARD WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. *TR
