Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford e-150. While driving 65 MPH, an unknown warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 108,000.
I opened the sun/moon roof and it would not close and after a couple of attempts it stuck in the full open position. The ford dealer said that two pins or brackets or clips had broken off the track mechanism that the sun/moon roof slides when opening or closing. The vehicle was moving when it failed and remained in the open position.
Vehicle was leaking antifreeze and taken to good year. The part was not made and is not being made by any factory or by ford. Ford is aware of the problem. The service manager in rock hill,sc said there was 20 others waiting and they needed paperwork for proof and a hundred deposit for a part that isn't even made. Good year made a temporary fix. If the fix breaks the antifreeze will leak out causing the motor to seize up.
I was driving 65 on the highway and my truck downshift to 3rd gear then back to 5th gear then first gear. Locking my wheels. Tires screeching. I had to pull over and turn my truck off, open the door to try to reset the vehicle. Ive read threads of people having a similar problem and turning off the truck, opening the door resets the vehicle.. Po722-00 code output shaft speed sensor circuit no single - pending DTC
