| Description of the problem | Noticeable increase in shifting times and in some cases slipping/missing gears. This occurs on highway driving and regular driving and most noticeable when attempting to pass a vehicle, increase in speed when entering the highway, or when climbing a hill and the vehicle downshifts. Decrease of power is noticed when starting at a stopped position and a hesitation. Vehicle was taken to a ford dealership for manufacturer recall 19s07 (https://www. Nhtsa. Gov/recalls? Vin=1ftfw1et6dkf[xxx]#vin) and i was told that they received notice not to reprogram 2013 f150's with a 3. 5l engine and that new programming had to be developed for these vehicles. I also received a notice in the mail about an additional recall for my vehicle (not listed in nhtsa) where a speed sensor failure may occur which require replacement of the transmission (see attached). When i've described the problems i've been experiencing with my vehicle to the ford dealership, i was told they were not symptoms of either of the recalls and would not qualify for repair under the recalls. The issues were first noticed around may 16, 2019 and have been noticed a number of times since then. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *tt |
