2012 Ford F-150 Wheels Problems

“We have a Ford F-150 and it is losing power as you travel down the road. We have to pull over and turn the truck off and restart it. We have had it in the shop at least twice with no success in finding the problem. We have had sensors replaced and the intercooler drained twice. This is dangerous because as your traveling it will loose power and it's hard to get off the road sometimes and could cause an accident. We don't know what to do at this point.”

“I purchased my vehicle used from a Ford dealership in 2017. I brought it in a few months after I purchased it due to rear tires locking up and a sudden downshift. Was told no codes were found wrong and they couldn't duplicate the issue. April 30, 2019 had to have it towed back in. Was informed of a recall on lead mane frame for first time. After replacing lead frame vehicle still will not preform properly and I have now been told entire transmission needs to be replaced. I haven't received any letter nor made aware at time of purchase of any recall. …”

“I was traveling on interstate 95 in idaho; I began to feel a vibration in the front of the truck; it was worst when slowing down. I pulled over started looking for possible issues, upon troubleshooting I noticed 5 of the 6 wheel lugs were finger loose, which I found strange and puzzling, anyway I had to tighten them and got the oem lug wrench from the truck; the lug wrench didn't fit the lug nuts; it was too small. Ford didn't include the right size lug wrench when manufacturing the truck. …”

“Multiple times while in motion 45mph + (spontaneously) , orange wrench comes up on my dash, speedometer drops to zero, engine power is cut to almost nothing, and a few times at higher speeds 60mph +, the wheels lock due to transmission downshifting out of nowhere. This has happened on the loop, city streets, highways, it's random. I can only limp my way to a safe spot to pull over, turn engine off then back on and everything generally starts working again. Last night on a city road doing about 55mph it locked up again but refused to drop out of 5th gear though I was at a dead stop. …”

“I have a 2012 Ford f150 xlt crewcab. Was driving and as I approached my turn, I slowed down and heard a loud noise that sounded like you were driving on the highway rumblestrip. I pulled off and my truck felt like it dropped down in the back so I thought I had a flat tire. When I inspected it, the tire was gone on the rear of the truck and all I saw was the brakes and lug nuts that looked sheared off. The tire was laying over a little ways on a grassy hill. There was no shimming to the truck prior to the tire flying off. The truck was driving smoothly like always. …”
