I took my 2014 Ford F-150 to liberty Ford in Maple Heights for the current recall and to also check out why the engine light was coming on intermittently. They advised there was a timing chain issue and contacted my extended warranty company, endurance. Endurance does not want to cover the cost to repair the vehicle. From my investigation it appears that the timing chain should last up to 100,000 miles and my vehicle currently has 60k plus miles. My question is could this possibly be a recall situation?

I recently took my truck to the dealership for the 24S37 recall repair. Later that day, I received a call from the dealership informing me that my truck was ready for pickup. However, approximately 45 seconds after picking it up, I noticed that it was still shifting hard and felt like the transmission was dropping. I immediately contacted the dealership to report the issue. The dealership told me that I could bring the truck back in for another scan but mentioned that if the correct code appeared, I would have to pay for the repairs myself. I decided to take the truck home and parked it, hoping that more information about the recall would become available. Since then, I have called the dealership multiple times, left voice messages, and attempted to get in touch with the service manager, Jeff, but have found it nearly impossible to get a response. I scanned the codes on my truck and identified the following codes: P0715, P0717, and P0731. I am concerned that the recall repair was not completed properly or the initial recall caused that damage and that the issue persists. I am seeking your assistance in ensuring that this matter is resolved appropriately.

Recall 24V444 After getting the recall service on [XXX], I drove the F150 with the tow/haul assist, with a 2024 Casita trailer on two separate trips as described below. The problems occurred on the second trip. For safety reasons, I weighted both the truck and trailer, then just the truck, at our CO-OP, and all numbers were well below GVWR and tongue weight. The trailer has an Anderson hitch for additional safety. The severe downshift occurred 3 times on [XXX]. The first trip with the same setup did not have any problems.

The next day while driving around 55 mph, on [XXX] North towards Bismarck, the truck, again with tow/haul assist on, abruptly downshifted while going down hill twice in about 25 miles. I cancelled the rest of the trip and stayed on relatively flat roads to get back to Minnesota.

My truck software was updated for the recall even though I was having no problems with the transmission. Post the software update I am having problems with jerking in the downshifting of the truck.

When stopped waiting for a parking spot, then mashed the accelerator to get into the parking spot, the engine reved up but the truck wouldn't move forward.

Later in the day I was at a stop light, then when the light turned and i mashed the accelerator, it crawled through the stop light even though I had the gas peddle mashed all the way down.

It will not work again until I park the truck, then turn it off then back on. I contacted my local Ford dealership, and they said that wasn't their problem. However, it is since my truck had NEVER had issues until they "fixed" the recall.

Went to Grand Prairie Ford in Grand Prairie Texas. The recall was for the sudden downshift to first from any speed. Recall # 24S37 for the 6R80 transmission. Service manager said to not get the recall done as it may have a negative impact on my transmission that would cause....a sudden downshift to first gear.
