On 9/25/2026, I made an appointment with a Ford Dealer to receive a fix for NHTSA saftey recall 26V237 on 10/7/2026. Before 10/7/2026 Ford paused the recall. In their own notice Ford says this problem could result in loss vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash. They do not rule out that a crash could occur at high speed. It appears that before the pause, they applied a software fix to many vehicles which caused new problems. They should make a serious effort to effect a solution…

When using the cruise control and passing a 65MPH speed limit sign, the vehicle accelerates to 85MPH. The posted speed in the area 65MPH. The max speed for the state of NC is 70. Yet, the vehicle acts as if the speed limit is 85MPH. This event is repeated routinely approximately 95% of the time as I pass this particular location on I-885 South, just north of the Ellis Road exit, in Durham NC.

Filed Oct 21, 2026


Hello. I recently went in for fords recall regarding 2015-2017 6R80 Transmissions and their limp mode and sudden downshift issues. I got the recall done July 31st (if memory serves) But the fix did not work. I came back in September 3rd to complain and ask them to diagnose and asked if they would fix it this time under the same recall. After 3 hours of waiting they said that my code “P0722-00” does not qualify for lead frame replacement nor did they attempt another fix. I believe this is…

2013 FORD F-150

Filed Oct 21, 2026


Was Driving my truck on the highway, when it slammed into 1st gear on its own, was going about 65 MPH and almost lost control of the vehicle. I have taken it immediately to a FORD dealership for repairs, and they are saying that they are unable to replicate what happened. At the time it showed a Wrench Icon and check engine light, and I am certain that this is from a Molded Lead Frame Failure issue. I did have mine reprogramed by the dealership service center a few years back due to recall,…
