What owners wrote
2011 f-150 xlt will not go into reverse or other times when you put it in reverse the vehicle behaves like it's in neutral then will suddenly shoot backwards (does this in drive as well-forward). When this occurs the backup lamps do not illuminate and the backup camera does not function and the instrument panel does not display the what status the vehicle is in...ie drive/reverse etc.... I took the vehicle to my mechanic who immediately informed me the vehicle was under recall (NHTSA campaign #12v190000).
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. When the vehicle was shifted into reverse, the reverse tail lights were not illuminated and the "r" was not illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure recurred each time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.
