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

Issue ID	1689743
Internal NHTSA #	11354670
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2012
File date	30/05/20
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The wrench symbol comes on and the digital instrument screen goes blank and the transmission either gets stuck in 5th gear or will start off in 3rd and only shift through 5th gear. You can turn the truck off and restart it and most of the time it will reset and start off in first and the screen will return to normal. Unusually when this occurs when starting to drive again it will not shift out of first gear and at this time you have to disconnect the battery and reconnect after 15 seconds to regain mobility. I have replaced the pcm to no avail. The new pcm is registering a code now for the output shaft speed sensor which has had a recall in other 2011-12 f150 models. Through research and conversations on ford truck forum's i have learned a lot of other people are having the same issue.
