I have the Ford F-150 2021 as noted. They have not sent anything out about this recall yet. Where can we get additional information on the issue and what is the next step?
I need to know if the 2017 F150s have a recall because of the 10sp auto turn off feature that messes with the Transmission and has no power please and thank you
I need to know if the 2013 escape is recalled. Ours drives fine for a while then all of a sudden it either begins to die out or it loses acceleration putt putting around until you restart it. Now the electrical flickering is going insane and even though there is a good battery on it every morning and sometimes throughout the day it needs jumped. It only needs a split sec of touching the cables, but will not start any other way. The lights and everything all work unless you try to start it like three or more times then they begin flickering everywhere.
My 2018 F150 has been great but then the engine light came on. Along with that is a low hum, reminiscent of old studded snow tires driving, and the automatic transmission shifting has been rough at times. A technician did a test & said the catalytic converter was set too sensitive & the hum may be wheel bearings or some vacuum pump, but I do not have the money for more diagnostic testing to determine what it really is. Not good.
