2013 Ford F-150 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	11130686
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	F-150
Model Year	2013
File date	16/09/18
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was stopped in the left turn lane. When the green arrow appeared, pressure was applied to the accelerator. The vehicle began to move at a rate that was not normal for what the tachometer was reading. The vehicle then jolted suddenly as if the 1st gear had engaged. This was shortly followed by the vehicle losing road speed. It seemed that 5th gear had been engaged. The seatbelt caution and wrench symbol came on. The speedometer dropped to 0. I was able to move the vehicle out of traffic lanes, but it was slow because the transmission was not in first gear. Putting the vehicle into neutral and back to drive did not fix the problem. Once stopped, i shutdown the vehicle and waited 30 seconds before restarting the vehicle. This seemed to fix the issue. The check engine light will not go on for this failure. I have contacted ford dealerships who are unable to diagnose the issue unless there is an associated check engine light and code that can be retrieved from the onboard computer. This is a safety issue because a powertrain failure while in traffic can lead to a vehicle being unable to clear an intersection if there's oncoming cross traffic. I request that nhtsa investigate f150 model year 2013 for this issue with the erratic shifting in the automatic transmission at low speeds.
