| Description of the problem | Transmission - molded leadframe malfunction on 5. 0 motor. The 2011-2012 recall for the molded leadframe malfunction also affects 2013 vehicles such as ours leading to the truck loosing power, stalling out, shifting on it's own from 5th to 1st and the other way leaving the truck a wreck waiting to happen at any time during driving. This risks the lives of the driver, passengers and everyone else on the road. When this happens you must bring the vehicle to a complete stop, shut it off, wait for computer to cycle, then restart. Ford should be expanding the recall to replace this deadly malfunctioning part at their cost. This has happened at least 10 times within 30 days of owning the vehicle which was bought from maxwell ford in austin texas. The last time this happened it was in a parking lot after just starting the truck and backing out of a stall. |
