2012 Ford F-150 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1409824

Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company

Model Year	2012
File date	24/09/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On 9/24/17 traveling at approx. 40 mph on a straight section of a rural state road the vehicle suddenly shifted to 1st gear with no action from the driver. The rear wheels skidded until the vehicle slowed down. It was a sunny warm dry day. Prior to this incident i have noticed on about 4 occasions recently that proceeding from a stop the transmission would shift from 1st gear directly to 5th which made it seem like the transmission was slipping, the vehicle would have little to no acceleration, it would need to be stopped, then would proceed normally. Ford has 2 customer satisfaction safety recall programs: 16n02 and 16s19 that were created to correct the exact issue that i describe and apply to 2011 and 2012 f-150's that were built in dearborn between 2/11/11 and 9/8/12. My f-150 built in dearborn on 8/19/12 which is between the date range. Both the ford dealer and ford customer service have told me that the truck is not part of the program when they search the vin #. It appears that one or more vehicles experiencing this vetted problem are still out there with unsafe defective components. At this time ford is unwilling to make the repairs.
