2013 Ford F-150 wheels problems

“Hello, I am writing a request to supplement 19N01 on Ford models as I had a near accident that almost happened. First, as I was driving, my mileage odometer was glitching showing dashes "------", also notice that my check engine light came on and as a result the airbag off warning was showing as well. As a result of all this, seems that the vehicle malfunction as my vehicle was in "limp mode" while all of this was happening and when pressing the gas no acceleration was happening (mind you that was all happening in heavy traffic). After moving steadily and avoiding heavy traffic, I parked my vehicle to the side and turn it on and off. This seems to restart the system however my check engine was still on. After further research on this issue, I see that this is a known issue that happens with the model of my vehicle. After calling the dealership with my issue, they state it is a customer program rather than a recall. I beg NHTSA to please supplement this known issue and instead of 10 years, please use the 150K mileage. I cannot be driving with this unsafe issue as it was a scary issue that happen during traffic.”

“ATTEMPTED TO MOUNT MY SPARE TIRE AND THE METAL COVERING ON MY LUGNUTS HAD EXPANDED CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO REMOVE THE FLAT TIRE. DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS TO BE A COMMON OCCURANCE ON MY 2013 F150. THI ISSUE W/FORD NEEDS TO BE RESOVELD TO PREVENT ANY FURTHURE DIFFILCULTIES. NEEDS TO BE A SOLID LUGNUT TO REPLACE THOSE THAT HAVE THE METAL SKIN COVERING THE LUGNUT. THANKS”

“I’ve went though 8 wheel bearings in the last 6 months on the drivers side tire alone. I’ve had to replace brake hoses every few weeks and I’ve had to take it to two different dealerships. Also it keep downshift from 6 gear to first with no warning. I’m afraid it’s gonna cause me to wreck.”

“4wd SOLENOID AND ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE 4WD AT WILL WITHOUT USING THE 4WD BUTTON CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH SOLENOID, ACTUATOR AND WHEEL HUBS WHICH CAUSE ISSUES WITH DRIVING AND USING 4WD ON THE VEHICLE SAFELY. THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2003-2020 MODEL F150 (NON RAPTOR MODELS) AS WELL AS EXPEDITION. THERE IS NO WARNINGS OR MESSAGES TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF ANY ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE AND THE HUB IS GRINDED DOWN CAUSING WHEEL ISSUES THEN.”

“I was turning into gas station when I applied brakes to turn, power steering quit working and brakes, luckily there was no one exiting or i would have crashed into them. I was able to muscle steering wheel to make the turn. I then muscled steering wheel to a parking spot where brakes began to work. Dash board read check advance track there were no check engine lights or warning prior to turning. I then shut off vehicle then turned back on and it ran fine but drove with caution. This has happened 2 other times where power steering has feld but came back suddenly but this time on 2/11/22 I had no power steering at all for at least 60 to 70 feet. I have not had a mechanic or dealership look at because I don't know when it will happen its more of a hit and miss. The fact that there's no check engine light or warning lights on I believe any diagnostics would not show anything wrong.”

“Swollen Lugnuts. Ford can’t rotate my tires because my wheels have swollen Lugnuts. We’ll it’s a known problem at Ford and apparently has been for a long time .Why can’t one of their technicians takeoff my Lugnuts?I have no clue I wasn’t even provided the information until I read the service report. It was once mentioned to me before at a servicealthough I thought it was a joke. Because they didn’t note that in the service report. Why there’s no recall I have no idea because it is a safety issue!!”
