“On April 25th, 2024 on Interstate 75 in Findlay, OH my truck had the back end lock up briefly and started to hop and fish tail. The engine RPM's went way up and the Service Light came on in the truck and the ignition was shut off (automatically and not by the key) truck had electrical power but engine was no longer running and the truck coasted to a stop on the side of the highway. I had the truck towed back to my house and I went to check for codes with my snap-on computer and no codes were present. I started the truck up and no issues were noticed. I took the vehicle to a local repair shop for further investigation. The rear differential was drained as was the transmission oil. Also the brakes were inspected. The mechanic didn't find anything that could explain the issue. He saw a rear brake pad that wasn't moving as freely as it should but explained that didn't sound like that's what the issue was. Nothing abnormal was noticed in the differential fluid or transmission fluid either. I know that Fords are having issues with the transmission shifting into first gear on its own and am wondering if that is the true issue. That is the only thing that explains what…”

“TAKATA RECALL: MY 2010 FORD RAPTOR WITH THE 6.2L MOTOR HAS BEEN HAVING A WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AND I HAVE HAD TWO QUOTES STATING THE NEUTRAL POSITION SENSOR OR TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS BAD. I'VE NOTICED THAT MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE FORD F-150 MODELS STARTING IN 2011-2014. WITH MY VEHICLE BEING PRODUCED MID YEAR OF 2010. I FEEL MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THAT RECALL. BUT DOESN'T SHOW IN ANY SYSTEMS. MY VEHICLE WILL STAY STUCK IN A CERTAIN GEAR OR NOT START AT ALL. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY AND THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN TO FIRST GEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE WHILE GOING 60MPH. IT MAKES THE VEHICLE REACH REDLINE ON RPMS AND HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE.”
