2011 Ford F-150 electronic stability control (esc) problems

“"TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE, STARTER INTERLOCK, AND TRANSMISSION BRAKING EFFECT" AND 108 LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS) THAT WAS CALIBRATED OUT OF SPECIFICATION FOR REVERSE GEAR.”

“MY BACK SIGNAL LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AND HAS A RAPID FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BCM CONTROL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHICH IS EXPENSIVE IS THERE ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THE BCM CONTROL.”

“WHILE BACKING UP AND UPON TURNING THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT FORD HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE 2011 FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING RACK AND PINION (IT WAS NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 2011 MODEL) GOING BAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THERE HAVE BEEN TSB'S ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED KNOWING THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVING TO PAY OVER $2K TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN FORD KNOWS ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER FOR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT.”

“WHILE DRIVING MY F150 ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION IS DROPPING GEARS SUDDENLY, IT SEEMS ITS GOING TO FIRST GEAR, ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO INTO REVERSE, WHEN I PUSH THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE REVERSE POSITION, THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION DOES GO IN REVERSE, THE REVERSE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY F-150 AND THE BACKUP LAMP ON THE REAR OF MY F-150 DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. *TR”

“THE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM POPS UP AND WILL EITHER SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN OR SHUT IT RIGHT OFF.. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO DO IT...I HAVE TO SHUT IT ALL DOWN AND TRY TO RESTART IT WILL SOMETIMES DRIVE FOR A SHORT TIME OR GO FOR DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR WHERE IT WILL ALSO GO MONTHS WITHOUT HAPPENING. *TR”

“VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INSIDE THE STEERING GEAR. SENSOR HAS FAILED AND IS NOT SERVICEABLE AND WILL COST $2200 FOR REPAIR. SINCE THE SENSOR HAS FAILED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IS DISABLED CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FORD USED THIS DESIGN FROM 11/03/10 TO 01/03/11. THIS DESIGN WAS REPLACED WITH ONE WHICH PLACES THE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN FOR EASY REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD FOR REPAIR ASSISTANCE AND SO FAR ALL CLAIMS HAVE BEEN DENIED.”
