Failure Date: 11/13/2020

After cranking the vehicle, I put in in reverse. The check engine light came on and it did not want to back up. Fearing that I would damage the vehicle I had it towed to the dealer. It was pulling a trouble code p0705 for the transmission range sensor. There is a recall on this (12c23) for Ford f150's for certain 2011 through 2013 models. I was told that my vehicle was not included in this recall because it was made 4 months before the recall years. My Ford was made in 4/11. The recall started for 8/11 year vehicles. My truck is the same year, make, model, and has the same engine and transmission as the recalled vehicles and it should also be covered in the recall. This does not make any sense at all to exclude my vehicle. I have the receipt from the dealer that cost me $907. 36. The tow bill was $140. 00. I should be reimbursed from Ford for all this.

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

My 2011 F-150 would not go into reverse and it would not show up in the in the indicator. It required the replacement of the molded lead frame in the transmission to correct the transmission range sensor issue. There was a recall issued by Ford (12c23) that covered the same issue for 2011 - 2013 model year F-150 with 6r80 transmission. My F-150 was not in the manufacture date range, but it has all the issues that were in the 12c23 recall. This was brought to Fords attention, but they indicated that it is not part of this recall, even though it is the same exact issue. I have attached the recall notice for reference. This recall should be extended to cover all 2011 F-150 that have this exact same issue as indicated in the recall. It also should be noted that they did issue a recall 19n01 for the mold lead frame for this F-150, but refuse to cover the repair due to the fact that the specific codes for this recall were not present.

Failure Date: 11/08/2017

I am having a safety issue with my vehicle. When I place the shifter into reverse or drive the vehicle does not go. There is a delay until it engages into reverse or drive, the check engine light comes on as well. When you drive there is a hard shift. I did some research and a lot of people are complaining about this. I did check the check engine light codes and the issue is the ' transmission range sensor'. I am afraid that while I am driving it will disengage from drive and put my life in danger.

Failure Date: 09/22/2017

When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on. I am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle. Reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and 'jolts' backwards without warning and allows me to backup. However dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift. I am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning 'transmission range sensor'. My vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however I am informed by the local Ford dealership that my VIN number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by Ford. I have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that Ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.

Transmission range sensor is malfunctioning. Truck shifts gears erratically, reverse lights will not operate creating a safety hazard. The shifting is also a safety hazard due to the inability to maintain control of my speed on the interstate. At times the reverse lights will come on while driving in traffic even if the vehicle is moving forward. Ford has issued a recall for the same problems for the same vehicle built in the same plant, however the manufacture date for the recall begins in August of 2011, my truck was built in June of 2011. Therefore my truck is not covered. I have already been placed at risk for an accident for this issue. I feel this is a defect already acknowledged by Ford, and can't understand why they wouldn't choose to fix every vehicle affected by this instead of just a few.

Experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor (oss) signal to the powertrain control module, potentially resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear. An unintended downshift into first gear may occur causing the rear tires to slide or lock up. This has been going on since April 2011. Still no remedy. Too dangerous to drive.

Driving on highway at 70mph, I saw my speedometer momentarily drop to 40mph. It did it again about 15 seconds later, and downshifted to about 4th gear momentarily. About a minute later, still at 70mph the speedometer dropped, and the transmission downshifted to 1st gear! my rear wheels locked up, and I lost control, and fishtailed for a few seconds. Luckily I had taken a half day vacation and was not in rush hour traffic. Still other cars had to swerve to keep from being hit. The dearlership was able to reproduce the problem, and replaced a moulded plastic module made by continental that I think contained the transmission speed sensor. So it appears that when the transmission speed sensor signal is lost, the failure mode is to downshift to 1st gear no matter the speed of the vehicle.
