Problems with the Electrical System

When a truck’s electrical system fails to work as it’s designed, owners can be left stranded on the side of the road.

That’s precisely what happened to this Edmunds user. “Bought 2019 Ford F-150 had it 5 day got in to start it put key in & screen reads turn ignition off. Couldn’t start couldn’t do anything after waiting all day for roadside assistance called dealership they had to flatbed truck back to dealership. It has been there ever since. In deep sleep mode they don’t have a clue what’s wrong! Brand new truck &I’m left with no answers & a loaner that is way too small for me I’m looking for anyone that has either had the same issues or knows anything about this issue because they sure don’t. I should’ve bought a Chevy.”

It turns out that there is also an electrical system-related recall. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V805000 states that the fastener, which secures the Power Distribution Box and Battery Monitoring System might have loosened on over 135,000 trucks. The problem could be related to excessive sealant adhesive and might lead to a stalling engine. There’s also a chance of a truck fire if there is a resistive short. Sadly, many truck owners won’t be disappointed if the pickup burns up and is never seen again.

Problems with Engine

The automaker claims that this particular truck is the most capable made, which means it should be equipped with a durable and powerful engine. However, that’s not what users think.

One NHTSA complaint states, “Engine stalled while I was driving in a residential area. The auto/start was disabled at the time. I slowed down to let a car turn left into a driveway and went to accelerate and had zero power, engine was off. There was a message on the dashboard to shift into Park and restart vehicle.”

It shouldn’t surprise anyone to find out that there is another recall that’s engine-related. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V278000 states that over 130,000 trucks might have an engine block heater that was previously repaired during another recall, but the splice connector could have become damaged during that repair. This damaged cable creates a resistive short, which increases the chance of melted wiring, overheating and engine fire. At this point, it would appear that the F-150 is trying to blow itself up.

Problems with the Transmission

The main component of a powertrain is the transmission. Drivers can’t find the reliability and durability they need from this transmission.

Read another Edmunds review, “Just got my factory ordered F150 with the 10 speed transmission. Total POS. It jumps back and forth when shifting, it feels like you are driving in OD at low speed where it bumps back and forth from OD to drive. I waited 2 1/2 months for this truck to arrive. I have driven it less than 50 miles and already having terrible shifting problem. I ordered it with the 5.0 coyote and 10 SPD trans. I had no choice. I will never own another FORD. Total disgrace!!!”

The transmission is one of the most complained about components on this truck. Even the automaker issued a statement through Service Bulletin #TSB 19-2358 that states the truck can make a rattling and metallic grinding sound from the bellhousing area, during some operating conditions. The problem stems from the torque converter studs making contact with the engine to transmission spacer plate. This plate needs to be replaced in order to cease making sounds. Until that happens, the annoying sounds serve as a reminder to owners about the level of quality Ford put into this truck.

Problems with the Vehicle Structure

It isn’t cheap to own most models of the 2019 Ford F-150. For the amount of money spent, one would assume that the structure would be well-built, but it’s not.

Here is one more Edmunds review. “I’ve been through four F150s though the years and just trade my 5 month old 2019 King Ranch for a Ram Laramie quad cab night edition. I was a diehard Ford fan. The KR was the worst Ford I’ve ever purchased. I had numerous paint flaws, debris, drips and the final straw was the start of the roof paint bubbling off. Ford and my dealer repainted a third of my vehicle twice assuring me a factory finish. Unfortunately it was Ruby Red mettalic and never matched. I escalated to Ford and the dealer even documented 14 pages of paint flaws and all I got was we will repaint it again. The dealer told me to fix it right the whole truck would need repainted. Ford wouldn’t budge on a new vehicle and asked me to give them another $7200 if I wanted another KR. I drove my first Ram on Monday and was hooked. May never buy another Ford.”

Again, there is a recall that shows the level of quality put into the structure. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V633000 states that the seat back in some trucks might have reduced strength, leaving occupants at risk during an accident. This recall affects more than 639,000 vehicles and requires replacement. Considering how dangerous this truck has already proven to be, it makes complete sense that the seats weren’t built correctly either. After all, what do the seats matter when the truck is going down in a fiery blaze.

Problems with the Headlights

The Ford F-150 is designed to get the job done, which requires effective lighting while driving at night. However, this is another common complaint among drivers.

Here is a complaint left with the NHTSA. “The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. While driving at various speeds at night, the headlights failed to produce adequate light. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to [dealer] where it was diagnosed that a light adjustment was needed. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 3,000.”

Surprise! There’s another recall dealing with lighting issues. NHTSA Campaign Number 20V097000 says that the daytime running lights may not dim properly, thereby reducing the visibility of other drivers and leading to an accident. Again, this situation affects a lot of trucks; over 166,000. It gives new meaning to the term “blinded by the light.” In this instance, it’s better to be behind the truck than in front of it. Maybe that’s where the tagline “a tough performance to follow” came from, hoping that people would stay away from the front of the F-150 and follow it instead.

Your Lemon Law Legal Rights

Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. The law makes Ford pay legal fees. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of ‘lemon’ owners like you.

Description	I purchased my 2019 ford f-150 used in october of 2022 directly from a ford dealer. The reverse view on the infotainment screen was foggy at the time of purchase due to moisture in the rear view camera. My local ford dealer told me that the specific rear view camera in my truck was part of a massive recall, but they would not replace the camera because my vin was not included on the recall list. I am confused as to how a part can be found defective and a recall issued to replace the part, but a vehicle made with the defective part is left off of the recall order. In any case, I purchased a new backup camera directly from ford. The original camera has been superseded by a new part number. Hopefully, the new camera will not have the moisture issue. I have the old backup camera and it is available for review.

Description	I purchased my 2019 ford f150 used in october of 2022 directly from my local ford dealership. At the time of purchase the tailgate handle did not work properly. The tailgate handle would stick in the open/unlatched position. If you closed the tailgate with the handle in the open/unlatched position the tailgate would fall down. If the falling tailgate struck a child in the head, it could cause injury or death. I purchased a new tailgate handle. The torsion spring and hinge pins on the new handle are coated in grease. The spring and pins on the old tailgate handle are rusted. I still have the old tailgate handle and it is available for inspection.

Description	My vehicle went in for oil change, tire rotation and tailgate recall. Now I was told by the dealer that lug nuts had swelled because manufacturer put caps on the nuts which causes overheating. According to my dealership I have 12 lug nuts to replace. Is this reasonable to replace these items on a 4 year old vehicle? My dealership told me they don't make vehicles like they used to.

Thousands of not hundreds of thousands of other people have had the same thing happen to them in f150s for years apparently. A quick google search didn't take long to read hundreds of other f150 owners sharing the same experience . Ford refuses to accept responsibility for what is an obvious design flaw. Broken shards of glass flying around in the cab . Luckily I didn't have my grandson in the backseat today.

Description	The truck was purchased used in october 2022 with 82k miles on it, but it appeared to be operating fine from the dealership. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started hard shifting and also hesitating between shifts. I took the vehicle into a ford dealership and they test drove it saying it was normal, but also refused to check the pcm to see if the calibration was the most current from ford. On february 27, 2023, as I was passing a slow moving vehicle on a highway the gears starting acting erratically, jumping from 8th up to 10th, then dropping all power (while showing that it was in 1st gear on the dash), then suddenly hard downshifting in the pass, almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle in the pass. After completing the pass, a "wrench" light came on, so I stopped at the nearest place I could to see what it was saying. My fordpass app said it was a powertrain issue, but then as I restarted the truck, the wrench cleared. I was able to make the rest of the drive home, but with extra clunky and hard shifting. I've now taken the truck in for an inspection, but have been seeing online that this is a common problem, which is wildly unsafe of ford to have not fixed this.

Description	I was driving on the freeway at about 75 mph. I wanted to pass another car, so I pressed the accelerator petal to 100% (floored it) and took my foot off the petal immediately because I changed my mind. Roughly 1 to 2 seconds after the inputs, the engine rev'd up to about 3000 rpm, and then changed gears, jerking my truck so violently I could have lost control. I was able to get the behavior to repeat for me, and next time I'm on the freeway I'll try to record it. It's possible I was in cruise control and in eco mode. I have been having many issues with the transmission, including some 'bucking', shuddering, harsh shifts, grinding noises, rattling noises, high-pitch whine, surging revolutions, stuck in gears to name a few.

Description	My f-150 is currently inoperable and unable to be repaired due to tsb 22-2139, which is a fundamental issue with the 10 speed transmission. To summarize the issue, the transmission at certain times will not shift gears while driving, which is a significant safety hazard. My truck has been at a ford dealership for close to 30 days now, and ford is unable to provide an eta on replacing the transmission. There is a current national backorder for the 10 speed transmission and no eta in resolving it.

Description	When I place my vehicle in park on my driveway, it rolled backwards and collided with the vehicle behind it. When this event occurred, the truck was in park for over an hour before rolling backwards. This is not the first time that it has done this and when I saw it happen the first time, it was only for a distance of two feet and all the wheels were turning when it rolled backwards. The truck was only in 2 wheel drive mode and 4 wheel drive automatic mode. We are now trying to leave it in 4 high wheel drive when parked. Our driveway is on an incline and we do live in mn. Our driveway was clear of snow and ice when this occurred and the temperature was 40 degrees. We are not allowed to park our vehicles on the street overnight but have asked for a special permit given the damage to the vehicle parked behind the truck that was hit when the truck rolled backwards. This was over 4 feet when the truck rolled and the vehicle that was hit stopped the truck from rolling further. We confirmed the truck was in park when this incident occurred.

Description	Automatic transmission shifts gears erratically. (1) much delayed shifting from 1st gear to 3rd gear. (also occurs at the following gear ratio changes: 3rd to 5th and 5th to 7th.) this stalls the acceleration of the vehicle for sufficient time so that a rear end collision can occur if the driver of vehicle behind is not vigilant. (2) while driving on a freeway at 65mph, the vehicle has lost acceleration while the transmission gear indicator shows random gear hunting (10, 7, 3, 1, 9...) and finally abruptly reengaging in a gear to allow forward power. This behavior results in vehicle speed, while in the high speed freeway lane, slowing from 65 to 30 and then slowly accelerating to a more appropriate speed once a gear reengaged. This condition was conducive to a rear end collision. Ford has no availability dates for either a replacement transmission or internal transmission parts so the vehicle is being diagnosed by an independent transmission repair shop. The vehicle may be inspected there if required. (dealer has confirmed the odd shifting behavior.) vehicle warning light occurred subsequent to the above behavior.

Description	On monday, january 9, 2023 the vehicle shut off while driving in traffic, and was difficult to restart. It seemed like the battery was dead, but it wasn't. This incident happened again within about a 15 minute time period. Safety was obviously put at risk as this happened in a major metropolitan area, miami, on the road during rush hour. The dealer has had the vehicle for the last two weeks, but was not able to reproduce the problem and cannot find anything wrong. When the vehicle shut off, a warning came up on the dash which said â€œauto stop, put the truck in park and restart the engine.â€ but again, it did not want to turn over to restart, and only did so with difficulty.

Service dept stated they could not hear or see any problem with the transmission-sent me away- oct 2022 dropped it off transmission went from 10gear to 2nd gear on the highway. Nearly got killed. 3 months later I received a call truck was ready. After driving off again transmission fluid was leaking on the exhaust and causing bad smoke on the highway the gears again started to shift from 10gear to 2nd and 1st gear had to pull over off the highway. Dropped it off again at the nearest ford which this time it stayed for another month and they stated it exhaust was cleaned up and they could not find a issue wrong with the transmission. I drove off again the transmission started leaking causing smoke while driving, dropping gears on the highway and hitting hard. I nearly got killed on the highway because of transmission shifting down the way it is and smoke. As of today my truck is sitting in the driveway unable to drive due to faulty transmission . I will not put my family in this unsafe vehicle that ford could do nothing to fix.

Description	Cam phaser recall performed by dealer prior to 36k miles. At 36k miles, returned to dealer with same rattle noise from engine, dealer said was noise from backpressure at exhaust near turbo. At 40k miles, engine failed in middle of intersection. Advised by dealer the engine is total loss and will need to be replaced, declined to agree that the cam phaser timing chain was the result, stated that the issue was in the lower end of the engine, which is where the oil pump is.... That runs off the timing chain. Prior to the failure, I experienced slight power loss, complete momentary power loss shifting between gears 2 and 3, slight knocking noise from the engine that mimicked a diesel engine sound, as well as the stated rattle noise.

Description	My wife was driving my truck while I was hospitalised after emergency surgery. While driving, an emergency noise sounded and a â€œbrake fluid lowâ€ light came on. Immediately after that, the truck was difficult to stop - having to put the pedal all the way to the floor. She immediately went to a local full service gas station to have some brake fluid put in. She was told there that there was brake fluid all over the engine under the hood and that the brake hose was busted. They topped off the brake fluid and followed her home, one mile away, where she parked the truck (said she was scared driving and several times was unable to come to a complete stop - luckily no one hit her!). Upon getting out of the hospital, I called the dealership where I purchased the truck and an extended warranty that I pay -0/ month for. I was told I was responsible for getting truck to them (in another town 15 miles away) and that most likely it would be covered under my warranty. I contacted my insurance company and filed an emergency roadside claim to have the truck towed to the dealership since undriveable. I've just received a call from dealership, jones ford in humboldt, tn. They say my brake line is not covered because not a mechanical failure. They say the hose came loose and rubbed against the steering column and because of that, the warranty did not cover the brakes. They said I might have gone off-roading (which I didn't). I am self-employed and use my truck daily.

Description	The 10 speed transition is overall very clunky and does not shift smoothly. Recently when driving up a slight incline around a turn, the truck abruptly downshifted due to the incline. I was only doing 25 mph but the road was slippery and the abrupt rough downshift caused the rear wheels to lose traction and truck rear end slide. This was very alarming as I did not expect such a forceful rough downshift. Had another vehicle been coming in the other lane, the rear end of my truck may have hit them. I have experienced this more than once, despite being very gentle on the accelerator so as not to force a hard downshift. Also, when shifting into reverse, the transmission takes very long to finally get into reverse. Need to be very careful not to pull in front of another vehicle before backing up because the transmission takes so long to get into reverse. If I step on the gas before reverse is found, then when the transmission gets into reverse with the accelerator pressed, the truck lurches backwards. I have a 2010 toyota sienna with a 6 speed transmission with almost 300,000 miles. It still shifts extremely smoothly and shifts into reverse within 1-2 seconds. It's night and day compared to the f150 10 speed transmission. In poor road conditions, I don't feel comfortable and always in control with this transmission. There are no error codes so I have not asked the ford dealer to investigate. I also see many ford owners having the same issues with no resolution coming from ford.

Description	2019 f150 with 65,000 miles on it, started having issues shifting gears. Was accelerating on the freeway and jumped from 3rd to 8th gear losing all power and making all passengers jerk forward whipping our necks. Also, started to not go into the right gear after starting up in the morning; put the truck into drive and immediately went into 7th gear without releasing the break and the powertrain malfunction came on. Restarted the vehicle and put in drive and the transmission went to 4th gear, started driving and the powertrain malfunction light cleared and shifted somewhat normally other than hard shifting. Ford dealership diagnosed the truck and stated that it needs a new transmission already at 65,000 miles and they will not warranty it since it is already past 60,000 miles. A transmission should not be going out at 65,000 miles.

Description	I purchased a 2019 ford f150 2. 7l ecoboost with 10speed transmission in may 2022 and it only had 19,000 miles on it. When I first bought it, it seemed to drive fine, but less than 3000 miles later the gears started shifting really hard, especially 3rd through 5th gear. I took it to my local dealer and they reset the pcm module and said to drive it because it has an adaptive transmission that it would have to relearn driving habits. Well, shortly after I was on the interstate doing 75mph on cruise control in 10th gear, the truck shifted all the way down to 1st gear, went to limp mode, then revved rpms and went back to 8th gear then wrench came on the dash light. This truly could've been a bad situation and possible accident if I wasn't able to get over to safety lane. I took it to the dealer the next week and they reset the computer again and cleaned valve body. The vehicle still has hard shifts between 3rd and 5th gears, although not quiet as harsh. Ford needs to issue a recall on the 2019 ford f150s with the 10r80 transmissions or figure it out soon. I'm afraid there is going to be a serious accident, if one hasn't happened already, if these transmissions are not fixed soon. Several states already have class action lawsuits about this particular transmission.

Description	The vehicle has a 10 speed transmission which is designed to skip gears in a smooth fashion while accelerating. The transmission has been "chirping" when shifting from 1st to 3rd and very hard shifting from 3rd to 4th or 5th gear and also from 6th to 7th gear. Now the transmission is often not engaging and slipping out of gear when shifting out of 3rd and into 4th/5th and simply disengaging and going into a neutral state. This causes the vehicle to lose power and it will not accelerate. This is a very dangerous situation especially when attempting to merge onto the highway, turning left or any time traffic is behind me and the transmission disengages. This has occured on three separate occasions from 9/12/22 to 9/16/22. I have attempted to have the vehicle inspected by a ford dealer and the earliest appointment is jan 3rd 2023!! Another ford dealer stated I could drop off the vehicle and the diagnostics check would take 3-5 days and they do not provide a loaner vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to or during the transmission slipping out of gear.

Description	I purchased a 2019 ford f-150 from autonation ford in panama city, florida in 2020, along with a bumper-to-bumper warranty through the ford motor company, covering the car until 140,000 miles. Over the last 20 months my truck has been back to autonation at least 5 times for various mechanical issues. To their credit, each time the service department was eventually able to resolve each issue. During this week's 4. 5 hour visit to the service center I was informed that my engine is faulty (google "f150 oil consumption problem") and needs to be replaced; it survived less than 80,000 miles. Replacing an engine is a hassle, but I have a warranty and ford is a trustworthy american company that makes america proud. Unfortunately, I was told that ford is not allowing any existing customers to get on a list for replacing my particular engine (5. 0l v8). Ok, but I have a warranty through ford . That has to be worth something, because it cost me +,000, and ford sticks by its products and their commitments/promises can be believed and they told me it covers a rental car if there is ever anything that takes more than a day to fix on my truck. Surprise, the warranty apparently only provides a rental car for a maximum of 5 days, and I could be waiting for 12 months or longer. No offer of loaner, a way to expedite the repair, someone to call, any kind of helpâ€¦just, â€œsorry, we'll let you know if ford starts letting people back on the list, until then, you're on your own.â€ the options provided by ford: 1) drive with your check engine light on (engine sometimes stalling) and top off the synthetic oil every week or so until the engine inevitably fails 2) rent a car and pay out of pocket for all but 5 days for a potential +12-month delay for ford to fix my truck 3) shine a light on their dishonest business practices in hopes that either a regulatory authority or enough public shame will force ford to stand by their word and their product. This is disappointing, frustrating, unsafe,

Description	I've been dealing with a vibration/shaking in my factory driver side mirror at high speeds and on bumpy roads since I got my truck in may 2019 (over three years). No issue on the passenger side. I've dealt with it off and on with the dealer as time and life have allowed. Currently I'm on my fourth mirror and have a case manager from ford corporate. I have attached some of my correspondence with them for your reference. My problem is that the driver side shaking is very bad. It's distracting at high speeds and at night when headlights are shining behind you, it can be like a light show in the corner of your eye while driving. After much trial and error, I believe the vibration is coming from the articulation point between where the arm that comes off the truck connects with the arm that supports the mirror. Where it folds in basically. There isn't anything that can be adjusted, that particular area is all enclosed. I'm on my second dealer after the first claimed the mirror was fine. I took the truck for a drive with the foreman at the new dealer who confirmed he could see the issue. They ordered me a new mirror again and after installing it sure enough the new one shakes just like the prior ones have. The dealer said they had a regional service tech from ford drive it after the new mirror went on and this person told them the shaking was normal. I'm talking with the case manager from ford also and they are investigating what to do since there's clearly (in my opinion) some sort of defect with this part but no recall or fix has been made to my knowledge. I may be elevated to their legal team. At issue currently, I have asked my case manager from ford whether they can have someone such as an engineer or safety team examine the part and assess whether the mirror design is faulty but they have no one in their company. The case manager claims to not know if ford has a team like this. The dealerships didn't design the part so they can't assess whether it's flawed.

They said they issue with the seatbelts was not repairable unless a code was thrown. I was told it wouldn't cause any issues with air bags, but I'm not comfortable with that. The dealership said they would contact ford and see if there was anything that could be done. After ac issues that has been ongoing several times now I believe moisture got somewhere it shouldn't have. I kept telling them what if a child was in seat and undid seatbelt and then an accident occurred. They said the airbags should still work. I dont trust that. This could be a very serious issue. I was told I could buy a new truck. I can't afford to buy a new truck every couple of years on retirement. The dealership said they believe the issue is in one of four modules but ford will not authorize them to just start replacing modules without error codes being thrown.

Description	When accelerating the transmission will grind in neutral. Let of gas and will finally shift in gear. Happened 2 years ago when I bought it new. Now 3 times in the last 2 months. Ford dealers where I live don't have transmission mechanics. Shifts all over the place and has metal rattling noise. Unsafe to drive with just lest then 30k miles.

Description	At 30k miles the center of the steering wheel (plastic where ford emblem is which houses the driver airbag) completely opened up horizontally along the perforation where the airbag deploys in the event of an accident exposing the airbag underneath. If you honk the horn your palm depresses into the cavity where the airbag is. Ford fixed this under bumper to bumper warranty which ends at 36k miles. Now at 50k miles the plastic has opened up completely once again, only this time horizontally along the right side perforations on the same plastic cover through which the airbag deploys in the event of an accident. As before, depressing the center of the steering whee to honk the horn causes your palm to go through the perforation and press against the airbag. The cover cannot be replaced on its own and comes as a single unit attached to the airbag known to ford by part name â€œdriver inflator moduleâ€. Initial response from dealer was it is cosmetic and not covered however I contacted ford who advised that the part is covered under the 60k mile airbag safety restraint warranty. Dealer disagrees even after I presented him with the nhtsa id 10207126 communication where ford acknowledges the issue and advised a more â€œrobustâ€ airbag assembly has been released.

Description	Driving back from, san antonio, tx., to millsap, tx., in my 2019 ford f-150 truck, I experienced down shifting and up shifting hard. It was making driving very difficult and dangerous. My ford app alerted me that there was a powertrain malfunction. The little wrench light came on the dash indicating powertrain problems. I was very concerned for my safety. I have turned it into, southwest ford, in, hudson oaks, texas. I was not told that this was an issue with this year model, nor have I received anything in the mail about it. The ford dealership above was where I bought the truck and all the oil changes, ect., have been done. I have researched this problem and have come across a class action lawsuit that describes what happened with my truck. Ford has not notified me to this problem. What else should I do to resolve this?

Description	On a recent road trip, I had a break in traffic to get onto the road I need to get on to but I had to give it a little more gas to get up to speed to not cause the oncoming traffic to evade crashing into me or jamming on their brakes. When I did so, the vehicle paused then there was a big clunk then it shifted into gear and did its thing without incident. Unfortunately, I experienced it several more times when trying to merge onto the highway on short onramps. I searched online for the problem as this was something new to me and realized that it is very common with ford f150 trucks that have the 10r80 transmissions.

Description	My 2019 f-150 with a 10 speed transmission shifts hard between 3rd and 4th gear, 4th and 5th gear. The hard shifting between these gears is for both acceleration and deceleration. The hard shifting is kind of like a slam between gears. The problem seems to be getting worse. It used to only happen occasionally (5,000 miles) and now happens almost daily (23,000 miles). The truck has only 23,000 miles on it.

Description	This vehicle has a 2. 7 eco boost engine that is junk. It has been at summit ford from march 8, 2022 and is still there as of 6-17-2022. The vehicle has had to be taken back 2 times within this time frame. The motor looses compression on cylinder 5 which we have dumped 781. 43 out of pocket and extended warranty has paid 1028. 00. The last time I picked it up from the dealership I got 20 miles and it loss compression. I turned back and took it to the dealership. I told them it did the same thing. Since returning it we now find out it loss compression in cylinder 5 and now needs a new motor. The vehicle has 78168 miles, all highway miles. Ford has agreed to pay ,000 towards engine and remaining balance is owed by us. Ford has issues with this 2. 7. A 2016 f150 has been in the shop several times, mine has also and the ford broncos coming out of production doesn't even make it 1000 miles and looses compression. In order to get my vehicle to drive and get the wrench light to come off, we would have to pull over, turn vehicle off, turn it back on and continue driving until the next time it loss compression. This is a safety hazard as you loose compression it could cause the vehicles behind you to hit you or if you needed to pull off to the side of the road, loosing compression could cause you to get hit causing accidents trying to pull over.

I am attempting to get the truck back to the dealer again. I have found many complaints and articles about f150's with the 10 speed transmission having issues. In fact, I've read there are class action lawsuits against ford for issues with their 10 speed transmission. To date, my dealership has not acknowledged there is an issue with the transmission.

Description	The contact owns a 2019 ford f-150. The contact stated he was unable to hang up phone calls while the phone was connected to the vehicle through the usb cable. The contact stated the issue was distracting as he would need to take his eyes off the road to disconnect the phone to the vehicle in order to hang up the call. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the vehicle software had failed, however they could not repair the issue as the vehicle software was ran by the manufacturer. The dealer advised the contact to stop using the usb cable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

Description	After the vehicle has been parked overnight. I reverse out of my driveway, stop, shift to drive, drive about . 75 miles to a stop sign. Turn left and go about 1 mile to another stop sign, as the truck is close to stopping for this second stop sign, the engine turns off and I lose power steering. The dash shows this message: "auto startstop shift to p, then restart engine". I have to push on the brakes, shift the truck to park, and then crank the key to restart the truck. This happens whether the auto start/stop is enabled or disabled. It has happened several times at the exact same stop sign right before I come to a complete stop. It is happening more frequently.

It clunks most of the time when I turn the vehicle on. Often, when I shift from park to drive the trunk lurches forward even with my foot pressed down all the way on the break. It's in the ford dealer right now and all they can find is low transmission fluid. Although I've never had a warning light or anything on before. Dropping from 10th gear to 5th gear when cruise is set and accelerator is pressed truck will set advanced traction control warning off and slam so hard into 5th gear you are destructed looking to see if you were in a accident.. I have videos that were provided to ford motor company and have had in 2 ford dealership s 3 times for repairs. Ford motor company has 2 engineer cases opened on truck the second case they told dealership it was my fault with the abrupt shifting slamming and traction control warning at 72 mph on interstate. Ford refuses to address the safety issue. It is a hazard to me and passengers in my vehicle as well as the motoring public. Ford motor company has been notified they can assume liability if I am in a accident and someone is injured due to their negligence or refusal to fix defect. Truck has had issues since around 3500 on the odometer it now has 16,567 miles currently. This as well as any other erratic shifting complaints with said 10r180 should be fully investigated and taken seriously because it will and I am sure has contributed to crashes!!!! The vehicle has the technology package which allows you to start /stop the vehicle with an app in your phone. I assume the motor has bluetooth attached to it. The problem is that when your driving the vehicle will just shut down. Once this happens you have to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the engine.

Description	2019 ford f-150 was turned on using remote start feature. I allowed the truck to run for about 10 minutes before getting into the driver seat. When I closed my driver side door, the rear windshield shattered. I immediately exited the vehicle and took photos of the shattered glass. Broken glass fell into my back seat and even into the bed of the truck. Thankfully no one was sitting in the back passenger seats. My local ford dealership, where I am leasing said vehicle from, advised me to bring the truck in so they could have a look at it. I advised them that the back windshield was falling apart and glass was continuing to fall into the back seat and into the outside bed/trunk. A service advisor told me they can't do anything unless I bring it in. I sent them the photos I took and clarified to them that the window will surely break apart more if I drive it. The dealership said that's fine, just bring it in. I wrapped the back windshield, best as I could, with garbage bags. As to not allow for the falling glass to come into the vehicle and strike me or others while driving. When I arrived at my local ford dealership, a service advisor told me that I was not the first case of this occurring. The service advisor told me she has seen quite a few ford f-150's come in with owners complaining about spontaneous shattering of the back windshield. I asked her what is the cause of such an unusual occurrence. The service advisor told me it had to do with the rear window defroster. My rear window defroster was turned on and active at the time and moment the back window shattered. The remote start feature for the truck, always turns the rear defroster on. A quick online search, will also prove that ford has been neglecting this issue and has not been willing to help their customers fix their back windshields. This is absolutely unacceptable and an enormous safety hazard. Not only for passengers within the vehicle but motorist on roadways, who happen to be driving behind the truck.

The manufacturer defect has continuously put my family in life-theatening situations. I purchased the vehicle from texas ford sales ltd., dealer number p11422 on april 13, 2019. The vehicle was taken to autonation ford of fort worth, hereinafter referred to as â€œautonationâ€ to seek warranty repairs for the manufacturer defect. The vehicle has been in autonation and ford's care, custody, and control for more than 50 days relating directly to the manufacturer defect. This manufacturer defect is not isolated to this vehicle. This manufacturer defect has been known by the ford leadership team. Evidenced by the technical service bulletin 19-2232, dated 7/23/2019. Titled (3. 5l ecoboost â€“ excessive oil consumption with or without dtc p0365/po369 â€“ built on or before 1-april-2019). Ford has concealed the manufacturing defect in an attempt to limit the scope of the ford motor company new vehicle limited warranty responsibilities as it pertains to the oil consumption defect. Ford has violated the magnuson-moss warranty act and texas consumer protection statutes. Ford has acted with negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, and/or breach of express warranties. This manufacturing defect substantially impairs the use and market value of the vehicle. The manufacturing defect continues to create a serious safety hazard for my three babies, my wife, myself, and the public. Therefore, if ford and/or autonation are unable to correct this manufacturing defect, I expect ford to replace or repurchase the vehicle. If this matter is not satisfactorily resolved by 6/25/2021 and I have been indemnified for any and all losses, damages, costs, fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, and/or in dealing with, t parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identi

Description	Vehicle, a 2019 f150 limited with 10r80 10 speed transmission has had transmission related issues since delivery. There has been a chattering sound on deceleration and various transmission performance related issues with the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to crown ford, fayetteville nc, in september of 2020 within the first 5,000 miles of ownership to address the chattering/hard shifting issue. The truck spent 34 days in the shop and I was told the problem was with the rear axle housing and wheel bearings which were replaced. The transmission issues continued to occur after the fix. I took the vehicle back and spoke with service manager and senior mechanic to let them know there were still issues. The mechanic rode with me and advised me not to leave the truck at the shop again and that "whatever it was, it's nothing major wrong with your truck" and to continue driving it. Issues have become progressively worse with a noticeable "clunk" when starting the truck or shifting into gear. The truck has lost power between shifts while in notion and has exhibited extremely harsh shifts numerous times, so much so that it felt like I hit something in the road. The truck now is now acting like it doesn't want to shift and as if it has no power, as well as the appearance of a mil on the dash. Truck has been taken back to crown ford again for diagnosis and I am awaiting results. Given the number of issues related to the f150 and this particular transmission something needs to be done to address what are serious safety and drivability issues. I have no confidence in this truck or that it will perform as advertised by ford motor company in the future. This truck has been nothing but problems since purchased.

Cruising at 74 on the highway, I would floor it and the transmission would go from 10th gear to 6th with a slam, the traction control lights would flash and the truck would slow down when I needed it to speed up. All this on a completely dry and flat road. Very dangerous. Other times, I was going 50-60 mph and floored it trying to pass someone and the truck did nothing. Didn't speed up, didn't change gears, just nothing. Again, very dangerous.

I have rust flakes appearing in various places throughout my truck body panels. Even the rear bed inner body panels are showing the rust flake spots. Aluminum body panels should not show rust material. This rail dust or brake dust should not be adhering to the clearcoat paint on my truck. I have done some research and ford has had problems with this all the way back to 2004. Ford has put out some tsb's about the problem but will not admit to their problem with rust flakes appearing in their paint. This rust flakes needs recalled immediately that is appearing in the paint jobs. Numerous people are complaining through various search forums I have seen. I am not accepting this rail dust because when you pay upwards of ,000. 00 for a truck and can't get 2 years out of a flawed paint job ford won't recall someone needs to force ford into action. I have contacted my dealer about this but will probably be told nothing can be done. They already told me after my 3 year/3600 miles nothing can be done, this is unfair. Make ford fix this [xxx] problem with the rust flakes in their paint jobs. No other manufacturer has this problem. Last time I buy a ford. Ford should be held liable for their metal particles that appeared on the aluminum body panels before they were painted. We the consumer should not be the one paying the price for their mistakes. This so called rail dust that is appearing on the f -150's paint is not fake. Look at my photos. Have some one come take pictures of my truck for proof. What will the truck look like in 2 more years a rust bucket. I am not paying to have this fixed. Ford has a problem and needs to recall the bad paint jobs or buy back my truck.

Description	While driving on the highway today, I needed to accel quickly to avoid being in the blind spot of another truck as I was merging onto a different highway. After getting past the truck, I let off the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle continued to speed up. When this happened, I assumed that the cruise control was somehow trying to resume so I tapped the brakes to cancel it, but nothing happened. I then put on brakes, but it was simply fighting the engine as the vehicle continued to accelerate. I then tried pressing both the cancel button and the off button on my cruise control, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. By this time I was easily up to about 85 mph and had now other choice than to put the truck in neutral. I left it in neutral for about 3 or 4 seconds and then put it back into drive and the acceleration problem was resolved. This could have been a very bad situation for an inexperienced driver. I plan on stopping at the dealer where I purchased the vehicle last year and report it to them as well.

Description	In motion, interstate highway merge lane. I have a 2019 ford f150 equipped with a pre-collision avoidance system. The vehicle mileage is approximately 12,500. I purchased the vehicle new. During my vehicle ownership the collision avoidance system has always been set to 'apply braking' and alert set to 'high' the system has alerted on multiple occasions, however the aeb never engaged the brakes. I was recently in a collision, while the system alerted, and should have engaged the aeb. The pre-collision aeb did not apply the brakes. The collision was minor; the pre-collision aeb system failed. Other concerns for consideration. If the pre-collision system can fail, could the system also apply brakes when there is no danger of a collision. A failed system is a failed system. I would greatly appreciate a response and assurance from ford motor corporation; before I have the damage repaired, I would like ford to inspect the system, provide a data history report from my vehicle; and assurance the pre-collision system is functioning as designed before I have the vehicle repaired.

Description	Our brand new 2019 ford f150 was having shifting problems. Very rough shift from 5 to 6th etc. Clunky. Called dealer. Was told it would "even out" driving from tx to ga it only got worse. Dealership in ga says it was shipped low of transmission fluid. It is a closed system, so they said it had to be shipped from the factory low. We drove 5500 miles with a transmission that was 2 qts low and got no errors, lights or notifications. We picked up the truck on oct 10, 2020. It still felt very clunky, so we tried in november and early december to have it looked at again. They could not get a loaner etc. It was not serviced a second time at this point. On dec 24th around, we were driving down I 20 going roughly 70mph. Thankfully, my husband was driving. The truck began to feel rougher on shifting ( it is an automatic) suddenly, the truck lunges like we pulled the emergency brake and it shifted from 10th gear to first, he knew to put into neutral and get off the highway. We immediately pulled to the nearest exit and drove home about 4 miles very slowly. Because it would jerk very hard if it got to 5th gear and tried to go to 6. After several days due to the holiday, the truck was towed to ford who now say it is too full on transmission fluid and they cannot duplicate the problem. We would have crashed if I were driving. The sudden stop and sudden gear change only magnified the problems we were having already with the truck. There are numerous reports of similar issues across the country. Ford needs to do a recall before someone dies.

Description	I was driving on a major interstate and went to pass a slower moving vehicle while I had space in the passing lane. As the truck slowed form 73- 60 mph, I got into the accelerator and the transmission dropped from 10th/9th gear to 5th. The truck shuttered and slammed into gear, almost sounding as if a semi had rear ended my truck. I had lost all power to the power train and had a warning light come on the dashboard. I have experienced random times and the last time was down right scary... Took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. They have already reset the transmission to "re-learn" driving once. This has happened at 5k and 16k miles.

Description	The headlamp seals broke. The headlamps have condensation in them during inclement weather or after a car wash. This makes driving at night extremely dangerous as the condensation refracts the light reducing the effectiveness of the headlamps to illuminate the road. I almost went off the road several times from colorado to texas driving at night due to this issue. Ford maintains that condensation in the headlamps is normal and refuses to repair them under warranty. They have offered to assist me with financial assistance to repair the headlamp, which is an admission of fault. Yet, ford expect me to pay for defective headlamps. I have located several videos and forum posts where others have been experiencing the same issue. The question is why is ford being allowed to get away with not having to recall these headlamps. In one video, the man explains exactly what I explained to ford's customer service rep, annamarie rocha. The condensation destroys the led's and a computer control board on the bottom of the headlamps.

Description	Vibration throughout the cabin between 54-60mph as we left the dealership. Brought it back a few days later and the service manager drove the truck with me and agreed that "there was defiantly an issue that needs to be addressed" . So I set up an appointment for the following week to drop the truck off. I dropped the truck off the following week. I got a call from the service manager (same one that drove the truck) and he asked if there was a level kit installed since he drove the truck last week. I replied yes, but that has nothing to do with the drivetrain vibration! He then stated that they will not look at this as a warranty issue anymore and would charge me (even though the problem occurred 100' after I left the parking lot with my brand new truck and the fact that he drove it and agreed there is defiantly an issue (that day!) I left and won't be back. Long story as short, I looked deep into this and found thousands of trucks with the same exact issue (2015-2020) and no fix from ford yet: road force balance tires, no. Re-balance driveshaft, no. Replace rear axle, no. Replace driveshaft, no. Replace all rims, no. Wheel bearings, no. Brake components, no. Rear diff ring, no. Driveshaft carrier, no.

Description	I was using cruise control on a flat highway and my 2019 ford f150 stalled. Almost everything shut off (couldn't accelerate, main display screen went dark, dashboard went dark, and after a few seconds my headlights shut off as well). Luckily I safely pulled off the highway where the only thing that remained "on" was a message saying something about transmission not being in park. After coming to a complete stop, removing the keys, the vehicle started up again like nothing happened. I have approximately 25k miles on this vehicle. A similar incident occurred in a parking lot when I had 300 miles on it but the error message was something different. That time it took 10 minutes to get the car up and running. The issue is infrequent and impossible to replicate but having a brand new car shut off for no reason is dangerous and aggrevating.

Description	When the vehicle is in motion and shifting from 3-4 or downshifting from 5-4 there can be a significant jerkiness or shudder. Also, occasionally when downshifting from 10 to a lower gear there is a significant jerk. We have at times thought we were rear ended as the truck really lurched. These events happen sporadically. The truck has approximately 30k miles and the transmission has been reflashed. The dealership says this is a common problem and there is nothing they can do and hoping ford will issue a fix. We are nervous driving the truck as this may happen at anytime and could create a situation where we over react with detrimental consequences. Note, this is a random occurrence and not limited to one event. I selected the date as a placeholder.

The vehicle's powertrain is jerky when slowing down. It feels like a kick when is goes from gear to gear up or down shifting. There is also a loud bang upon start up. I video taped it, the drive shaft twist upon start up. Seems unsafe if the drive pin is the only thing hold a 7000 lbs vehicle or if you start in neutral.

Description	Truck was approximately one year old with 13,500 miles and when I would start the truck, with the a/c on, you would get a strong smell of vinegar coming from the vents. The smell would go away after a couple seconds. While cleaning the truck I realized the front passenger side floor mat was wet as well. Brought the truck to the dealership multiple times. They originally worked on the a/c and after several visits they had to change the carpet of the truck due to the dampness. Same issues continued and I was told they found a leaky door seal, which would explain the dampness on the floor, but not the smell from the vents. Dealership returned the car, with the intake not put together correctly (pictures attached), and 48 hours later the floor was wet again and the smell was still there when starting the truck. Issues have not been resolved at this time time.

It is extremely aggravating to purchase a new vehicle and have so many problems. The dealership says it is the transmission acting different to my driving style because it is adapted to how my wife drives. That's a terrible excuse for all ford employees to use because ford hasn't given them a clear answer. This design flaw should be rectified. This is the dream truck my wife and I have always wanted.

Description	I was driving my truck on the interstate with adaptive cruise control turned on. The truck began to automatically slow as I approached a vehicle ahead of me. As I changed lanes to pass, the system saw there was nothing ahead of me, then downshifted from 10th gear to 5th gear with a very loud "klunk". Since I had the accelerator depressed to override the adaptive cruise as I changed lanes, the truck immediately and abruptly accelerated. I was thrown back in my seat and momentarily lost full control of the steering wheel. I estimate I was going 65-70 mph and the downshift to 5th gear and quick acceleration was extremely unnerving. I categorize this complaint as a powertrain issue because I was overriding the adaptive cruise at the time and this issue was caused by the transmission downshift and the engine power together. The date I provided is an estimated date. *tr

Description	Ford issued a day running light (drl) recall on some 2019/2020 f 150 vehicles where some vehicles had drls that would remain daytime bright when the headlights were on. After ford's fix is applied, all truck lights, except headlights (side marker, tag lights, front lights, trailer lights) are on at all times unless the light switch is manually turned to the off position. In the off position, the drls are off too. Since this is the only way to turn off the unnecessary lighting, it puts the driver into a dangerous situation because the drls are off. States require drls to be on especially during poor weather conditions. Ford has managed to totally screw up exterior lighting by creating a fix that doesn't fix the problem. They simply turned on all lights all the time. In response to acknowledging the problem, ford states that exterior lights will be on when the light switch is in any position except off. So they know the fix they provided doesn't work correctly, but they are unwilling to provide a solution that makes exterior lighting operate normally. That is, drls are on during daylight hours, without all exterior lighting being on. Besides the safety factor, overall light failures will increase with time since there on full time. *tr

Description	I just bought my truck and have honked my horn two times. Both times the perforated seal for the airbag has split open. I got it repaired the first time and now I have an appointment to get it repaired a second time. This is a defect, you should be able to apply pressure to honk a horn. Especially if someone pulls out in front of you and you have to abruptly apply the brakes at the same time as honking. This creates a forward force that makes you press harder as well. This is a safety issue as well, as I'm not sure about the airbag now, if it will work at all, or if it will deploy for no reason and injure me. Both times I was driving, but only the first time did I have to hit the brakes hard, the second time was a normal honk with light to medium pressure. *tr

Finally she came back to the phone and said that after the first conversation, lugoff ford kept giving her the wrong extension or disconnecting her. To summarize, I believe they should have giving me 5 20 inch tires instead of 4 when they installed the 00 "appearance package". If they were going to give me a "doughnut", there should have been some sort of highly noticable disclaimer. The only way I could have known I did not have a real spare would have been to crawl under the truck.(even 2 of their technicians and 1 of their salesmen did not know when I asked them.) I believe they should take back the 17 inch tire and give me a 20 inch tire information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). tr js

Description	I recently bought a brand new 2019 f150 at larry h. Miller ford draper. And within a little over a month of owning the truck the transmission is now giving me problems. Just recently took it in to the service department, left it there all day only for them to tell me that everything is fine. And since I've had it back the problems have been getting worse. I've been experiencing problems with the transmission skipping gears (2nd and 5th). Staying in gear too long. It doesn't shift down properly, so it takes a lot of power to make a full stop. As accelerate it goes from 9th to 8th, then down to 7th then back up to 9th. And I really have to accelerate it to even shift gears.

Description	The f150 was purchased new with 5miles on it. The truck broke down on me within the first 16hrs of driving it off the lot. A temperature sensor had failed and shut down the truck while driving 70mph which was not safe I had no control of the vehicle and barely made it to the break down lane. That issue was resolved and the part replaced. A week later after driving the truck everyday for my daily commute to work I started experiencing vibration at highway speeds 60+ mph. The vibration is felt throughout the steering wheel and in the seat you can feel the console and everything vibrate. The transmission clicks,blacks and clunks like like 15yr old vehicle. The shifting is sloppy, jerky and occasionally delayed and will not respond when letting off the accelerator to slow down or change lanes, you will go to hit the accelerator again and the transmission feels like it slips or is delayed. The 10 speed transmission is a poor and unsafe design. Ford needs to be held accountable before these things kill someone. My is scheduled to go to the 3rd ford dealer this monday 12-23-2019 they are telling me its a steering damper causing it. It is not a damper causing these vibrations and sounds I have a very extensive background of mechanics and I know a junk transmission. Ford is well aware of this problem with thousands of other complaints from consumers with the exact same symptoms. These are lemons and should be bought back from ford.

Description	On tuesday 11/5/19, we were traveling on a highway at around 45 mph when I decelerated to make a right hand turn onto a city street. I had accelerated back up to around 30 mph when I cross over a relatively smooth railroad crossing at a slight left hand turn. Immediately the information center on the console start displaying multiple alerts and the vehicle started decelerating. While the engine did not cut off, there was no power to the powertrain and eventually we rolled to a stop on the side of the road. The vehicle continued to fire alerts. The only way to stop them was to turn the vehicle off. The messages still fired so I opened and closed the door. I restarted the vehicle with no problem and the alert messages had ceased. I drove the vehicle back to the house (approximately 4 miles) at highway speed with no issue. We took the vehicle to the dealership then next day (26 miles) with no issue. Fortunately, our ford pass app had captured all the alerts and, after a couple of days, the dealership replaced a gas pedal position sensor. We picked the truck up on friday and it worked fine until the next day. We were decelerating from highway speeds on the highway to turn left onto a side road. We hit a small hump where the side road meets the highway and again the alerts starting firing and the truck lost propulsion. Again, the engine did not turn off and the only remedy was to turn it off and back on. We plan on taking the vehicle back to the dealership but would like for ford to assess this problem as it seems to be beyond the dealership's capabilities to fix the issue. Since several of the alerts represented loss of safety functions including brakes, traction control, powertrain failure, and others we feel this issue represents a safety issue that ford needs to diagnose and fix. Several of the f150 forums have shown other users having the same issue.

Description	The rear view mirror in my vehicle directly obstructs the lanes of right hand traffic when at a stop. This is particularly at an intersection where 4 lanes are used each direction. I almost hit a car this morning at a 4 way if it had not been for my wife next to me. I realized that ford has moved the rear view mirror to almost center windshield to accommodate sensors located in the upper windshield area. I am what would be considered average height (6 feet). Even after adjusting the mirror as high as possible, vision is obstructed. I recently had a left hand crash in my 2016 f-150 where crossing traffic was at an angle and never saw the oncoming car. I believe now this situation is no coincidence as I encountered the issue with my 2019 replacement vehicle. I am an engineer and deal with issues of ergonomics and vison in my industry and can say that this certainly needs investigation as a cause to crashes. I will be consulting with my ford dealership soon to see if this situation can be corrected by moving my mirror higher on the windshield.

Description	Vehicle is equipped with automatic headlights that will turn on/off high beams. The high beams should turn on when conditions ahead are acceptable and off when oncoming traffic is present. However, the automatic system frequently gets confused by oncoming headlights, turn signals and street lights, etc., which causes it to flash the high beams briefly at oncoming traffic. On two occasions oncoming drivers thought this high beam flash was a signal to them to go ahead and they turned in front of me, nearly causing and accident. Flashing high beams briefly is commonly done in our area to signal other drivers to go ahead. The automatic high beams should be reprogrammed to prevent flashing them at oncoming traffic. Note that we have a different make/model vehicle with the same type of headlight system that works flawlessly without this problem.

Description	Brand new truck with rain sensing wipers. Rain sensing function does not work. First time it rained the wipers would not swipe to clean windshield. The only functions that would work were hi and off and when you turned the wipers off they would stop at random places like directly in the middle of the glass. The rain sensing positions (between hi and off) would mostly do nothing but occasionally would do random things, none of which helped clean the windshield (either not enough swipes in heavy rain or too many swipes when it wasn't raining). There are settings in the software to turn the rain sensing off but it had no effect. We took truck to dealer. They replaced switch assembly fl3z13k359bc. Had no effect. Wipers still act the same. This, in my opinion, is a safety hazard, because you cannot get the wipers to swipe properly when needed for one, and also when you finally turn them off they routinely stop directly in the drivers line of vision. Also there appears to be no manual backup.

Description	I purchased a 2019 ford f-150 xlt with the 10-speed transmission and the 3. 5l v6 ecoboost engine on 5/13/2019. The transmission has become very problematic and is rough to shift, skips gears, and has created unpleasant driving experiences for me and my passengers. A few weeks after owning my truck, I started to notice issues with the transmission. Initially the truck would appear to 'skip' gears when shifting up or down, after I turned on the vehicle each day for the first time and started to drive. However, the transmission has started to perform worse over the past several weeks. The transmission will shift noticeably 'hard' or 'sluggishly' when shifting up or down with an occasional loud 'clang' sound. The vehicle shifted so hard on two separate occasions that it has caused the seatbelt restraint for myself and my passenger to engage, at the time the vehicle was in motion going approximately 35 mph. After the two incidents above and the increased frequency in which this transmission has difficulty performing, I took it back to the dealership on 7/1/2019. The appointment lasted about an hour (if that). The service advisor [charlie ryan] advised that the truck was 'hooked up to the diagnostic' and provided me with a printout and told me 'the transmission was operating normally, and it will skip gears by design'. I asked what can be done to fix it, since the truck is jerking me around while driving. He said there was not a fix and I should log a complaint with ford and if enough people complain, maybe a recall would be issued for this truck model/configuration. The vehicle is not operating as expecting and is starting to become a safety concern.

I have a 2018 f150 lariat fx4 3.5. Gone through hell with for 3 catylatic converters, 2 fuel injectors replaced 2 turbos to get rid of knocking noise at 12000. Engine is knocking very loud dealer tells me they don’t know what it is. I told them I am not picking truck up till repaired. Ford representative orders dealer to rip my motor apart . They replaced short block. Now truck jerks loss of power can’t find gear and when the auto stop goes on my steering freezes. I asked Ford when do I get to enjoy a new vehicle specially when I paid 80 thousand. They did nothing for me brushed me off and don’t care that dealer charges me 100 dollars every time there is an issue. Ford knows there trucks are horrible and don’t care that they took your hard earned money excuse after excuse. Don’t buy a Ford worst mistake I have ever made in my life.

My 2019 F-150 is currently in the shop. Again. The engine has been torn down to replace bad solenoids at 40,000 miles. Warranty covered that part but I had to pay $100 for new window motor. Now at 50,000 miles there’s a noise when accelerating. Shop says 2 cylinders are misfiring and I will have to pay $276 for that work. Waiting for phone call right now to see if the problem is fixed.

2019 f150. Bought new. Second week was in the shop to get a door hinge replaced. Fourth week moonroof leaked and flooded interior with water. Had water pouring out of the dash and puddling in the floor. The dealer implied that it was my fault because I was not keeping it parked in a garage. After this the electronics went crazy. Early collision alert system would activate with nothing on the road in front of the truck. Backup warning system would beep with nothing behind the truck. Pro trailer backup assist system would activate with no trailer attached. When a trailer was hooked up the truck was continuously cycling through warnings. It would tell me the trailer was disconnected while driving down the road towing a trailer. It would tell me there was a left turn lamp fault. Then a right turn lamp fault. Then a trailer lighting module fault. It would constantly cycle through all of this. I checked the lights on my trailer and they all function normally. Three different dealerships. The last time for a week. After five and a half months and 7800 miles it was traded for a Chevy. Iam 57. I have owned 9 trucks. 1 Dodge, 7 Fords and now my first Chevy. Several letters and phone calls to Ford and they just talk in circles and act like they don’t care. My wife has a 2019 Edge Titanium with electrical issues. It has been to 3 different dealers also with no fix. Get the same response out of Ford about her vehicle. Will not be any more Ford products purchased by me.

Purchased 2019 f150 on 6-21-19. Have had it in the dealership 3 times for the same Electrical issue. The Apple play stops working on syncs. They tell me each time it somehow deletes itself and they have to have FORD send a patch download to the technician. Very frustrating to keep driving back and forth to the dealer and drag home a loaner every time.
