NHTSA expands probe into about 1.3 million Ford F-150 pickups over transmission issues.

Feb 2 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday it had expanded a safety-related investigation into 1.27 million Ford (F.N), opens new tab F-150 pickup trucks following reports of unexpected downshifts with rear-wheel lockup.
The investigation covers vehicles from the 2015–2017 model years, NHTSA said.

The probe follows a preliminary evaluation the agency opened on March 21 last year, after receiving complaints related to 2015–2017 Ford F-150 pickups equipped with the '6R80' transmission.
The U.S. auto safety regulator said owners had reported that the trucks would abruptly downshift without warning or driver input, causing sudden deceleration and, in some cases, brief rear-wheel lockup or skidding, raising the risk of a crash.
In its response to NHTSA's information request, Ford said the alleged defect in the 2015–2017 F-150s differs from the issue that prompted four safety recalls covering 2011–2014 models.
Ford added the earlier recalls were caused by manufacturing problems with a part supplied by an outside vendor, which led to loss of signals from a speed sensor.
In the newer vehicles, the automaker said the issue may instead be caused by electrical connections wearing down over time due to heat and vibration, leading to signal loss from a different transmission sensor.
NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation said preliminary testing also identified an additional risk, showing that intermittent TRS signal loss could cause a vehicle reversing uphill to shift into neutral and roll forward.
ODI said it had opened an engineering analysis to conduct further testing and review additional technical data.

Did you know the way we diagnose vehicles has changed?
Starting in 2018 many vehicles now require authorization from the manufacturer to even clear codes.
Electronic parking brakes or even a regular brake job is now mandated that the shop register their technicians with the manufacturer, send in proof of their credentials and pay a fee to each manufacturer, then have a special diagnostic scanner that can be registered and approved by the manufacturer and even further have an internet connection that the manufacturer can look at your connection and the vehicle, then approve you on the spot to work on the vehicle.
This has to happen for every vehicle you plug the diagnostic scanner into, each time you plug in.
This system is called Auto Auth and unfortunately is the future of car repair; the manufacturers are taking away the ability for the average person to work on their own vehicle.
Some of the manufacturers that are part of this or soon to be part (Starting years vary);
Fiat
Chrysler
Dodge
Jeep
Hyundai
Kia
Nissan
VW
Audi
Porsche
Mercedes
Ford
BMW
Subaru

With the Fall fast approaching we are starting to see many used tires pop up on Facebook, some are genuine good tires, some the seller doesn't understand that the tires they are selling are no longer road worthy even if they "Look" good. Some are trying to scam junk and will vanish the second they get your $$$

When buying used tires, inspect for sufficient, even tread depth (more than 4/32 inch is recommended for winter at the 4/32 mark is a just barely pass), and check sidewalls and bead areas for any cracks, bulges,
cuts, or dry rot. Determine the tire's age using the DOT code on the sidewall, avoiding tires older than six years, and check the entire tire for signs of improper
repairs. Ensure the tire's size, load index, and speed rating match your vehicle's specifications.

1. Check the Age
Find the DOT code:
Look for the letters DOT on the tire's sidewall, followed by a string of numbers and letters.
Determine the manufacture date:
The last four digits of the DOT code indicate the week and year of manufacture. For example, "1819" means the tire was made in the 18th week of 2019.
Understand the risk:
Rubber degrades over time; tires older than six years can begin to dry rot, even if the tread is good.

2. Inspect the Tread
Use a tread depth gauge: The recommended minimum tread depth is 4/32 of an inch.
Look for uneven wear: Uneven wear patterns, such as "cupping" or "feathering," can indicate problems with the vehicle's alignment, suspension, or inflation.

3. Examine for Damage
Sidewall damage:
Check for cracks, dry rot, bulges, or cuts on the sidewalls. Damage here can compromise the tire's structural integrity.
Tread damage:
Look for any cuts, punctures, or missing chunks of rubber.
Interior inspection:
Check the tire's inner liner for signs of damage, exposed cords, or rubber dust, which suggest the tire is unsafe.
Repair check:
Inspect the tire for patches or plugs, especially on the shoulder or sidewall, as these areas cannot be safely repaired and can lead to a blowout.

4. Verify Bead and Fitment
Check the bead area:
The bead is the inner rim of the tire that seals to the wheel. Inspect it for damage, wear, or rot that could prevent an airtight seal.
Confirm vehicle fitment:
Ensure the used tire's size, load index, and speed rating match the specifications for your vehicle.

Consider reputable sellers:
Buying from a reputable tire shop or retailer can provide more confidence. Winter tires are an investment in keeping your vehicle out of the ditch and out of the ICBC write off yard. Think about what you would do if you lost your vehicle.
