2010 Ford F-150

WHEN APPLYING SYNC UPDATE CAUSED SEVERAL FAILURE CODES TO TRANSMISSION MODULE AND TRANSMISSION SERVO. SYNC MODULE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER APPLYING SOFTWARE UPDATE AND MUST BE REPLACED. ALL TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CODES WERE CLEARED. I BELIEVE THE SYNC MODULE UPDATE CAUSED FAILURE CODES AND DESTROYED SYNC MODULE. FORD DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN

REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE. MY 2010 FORD F-150 XLT SUPERCREW ENGINE 4.6 L AT 89K MILES WITH ALL ITS MAINTENANCE DONE LIKE CLOCKWORK AND DRIVEN LIKE A BABY REQUIRED ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SEALS REPLACED (TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AROUND THE TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SLEEVE) 01/02/17. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CURRENT REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE TRUCK IS PASSED ITS 60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY THAT PREVIOUS REPAIR COMPLETED BACK ON FEB 2015 (COMPLETED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE TRUCK HAD 57K MILES AT THE TIME). EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AS BACK IN FEB 2015 WHERE THEY HAVE TO BRING THE TRANSMISSION DOWN AND RE-SEAL IT IN ADDITION TO THE NEW REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SLEEVE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD AND ITS TECHS WHOM ARE AWARE OF THE TSB 14-0069 (ATTACHED) *A KNOWN ISSUE PRIOR TO 2014* DID NOT "REPLACE REPAIR" THIS PART BACK ON FEB 2015 SO THAT THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT FIND HIMSELF IN THIS SITUATION WITH A $721.04 REPAIR BILL. I'M HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY TRUCK I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANY VEHICLE THAT WITHIN 6 YEARS OR LESS THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPAIRED SO OFTEN (THIS F150 IS NOT USED COMMERCIALLY AND ITS WELL CARED FOR MAINTAINED). MY FAMILY AND I HAVE OWNED FORD'S AND HONDA'S IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAS ANYONE IN MY FAMILY AND I HAD TO REPLACE OR REPAIR SO OFTEN A TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT THE 1ST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF MY TRUCK I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO DORAL LINCOLN WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AS IT WAS JERKING ON GEAR CHANGES THEY LUBRICATED THE TRANSMISSION AND DRAFT SHAFT ADDITIONALLY I HAD THE DRIVE SHAFT COUPLER/BOOT REPLACED AT SAWGRASS FORD AS WELL IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS REPAIR COST ME $185.90 ON 09/17/2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED AND THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR FROM THE SIXTH GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE WAS IDENTICAL TO A 2011 FORD F-150 RECALL PERTAINING TO UNEXPECTED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT. THE CONTACT INQUIRED IF THE RECALL COULD BE APPLIED TO THE 2010 FORD F-150. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

2010 FORD F150 WITH 83,000 MILES TRAVELING 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. HEARD A LOUD THUMP THEN TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP SKIDDING 100 FEET IN UNCONTROLLED FASHION. PLACED TRANSMISION SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL IMMEDIATELY WHEN RPMS WERE RACING. TRUCK TRIED TO GO LEFT BUT GAINED CONTROL WITH STEERING WHEEL. TOOK TRUCK BY TOW TRUCK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY FOUND TRANSMISSION HAD SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION WAS INTACT. CALLED FORD DEALER I BOUGHT FROM THEY SAID THEY WOULD RESEARCH SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT TO SAY THE LEAST AND I NOTED 3 OTHER SIMILAR EXPERIENCES UNDER CAR COMPLAINTS.COM FOR THIS YEAR YET NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2011 AND 2012 MODELS. NHTSA SHOULD TAKE NOTE AND MAKE MANDATORY RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND.IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BANGING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A HARD JOLT, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I APPLIED BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I NOTICED A ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED A WRECKER SERVICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MY F 150 HAD APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HADTHIS OCCURRD A FEW MINUTES LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIAL FOR THIS CAUSING A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT USED THIS VEHICLE TO PULL TRAILERS OR CARRY ANY HEAVY LOADS SINCE NEW. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY TRANSMISSION, BRAKE OR OTHER POWER TRAIN ISSUES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE NEW.
