2015 Ford F-150 complaints

My local Ford Dealer (Tallahassee Ford) which I had just purchased the vehicle from two weeks prior. Refused to repair NHTSA Recall Number26V237 they wanted to charge me over 2000 dollars to fix even though it has a recall. I ended up getting the lead frame replaced at a local transmission shop for little over 1000 dollars. I would like to be reimbursed for the money and time I spent.

Took my 2015 Ford F150 XLT 4X4 to Peoria Ford for safety recall, they requested 30000 mile maintenance. I agreed. Upon picking up vehicle service advisor informs me engine light was on, it was safe bring it back when I have more time. They had my vehicle from July 13, 915am till that July 15, 545pm, closing at 6pm. On the way home almost had an accident,truck still shifting down bad and powertrain light came on. Made it home tried calling, they were closed. Reported incident to BBB and Attornet General.

The clock spring in the steering has failed causing the airbag to no longer work on the driver side. The cruise control turns on and shuts off on its own. Sometimes won’t even let you set it. Volume controls no longer work. Horn no longer works. Steering has a clicking catching sound now when turning. Steering controls no longer light up and none of the buttons work.

I have a 2015 F-150. Early January 2026 I was traveling about 60 mph when my back wheels locked up, while the vehicle was skidding i swiped a guardrail but was able to pull the steering away as to not cause more damage. The damage is minor mostly cosmetic, and the truck was still running and drivable, without knowing the cause I just resumed. Then in March 2026 going about 60mph the transmission downshifted to 2nd gear, the RPM's went from 1,500 to 6,000 in an instant. There was a transmission warning light and the engine would not accelerate. I pulled over shut the truck off and restarted. It was fine after that. Then I received a letter telling me about this recall. Looking it up today on Ford's website it says Campaign 26S28/26V237 there is a recall with a solution for my VIN. However is there a way to be compensated for the cosmetic damage to the side of the truck considering this could have been a much more deadlier situation? Is this even worth pursuing the cosmetic damage, that and the wheel realignment cost.

I was driving on the highway at 70mph when the truck started jerking and downshifting from 6th gear to 1st gear erratically. I pulled off the highway and the gears continued shifting all over the place and then the wrench light see manual warning came on and the truck stopped completely. I had it towed to the dealership who said they would complete the fix for the recall but that the transmission cooler line also needed fixed which would cost $1226.00. They said I probably ran over something, which I did not. I believe the sudden and violent downshifting which is the recall caused this to break and should be included. This was a terrifying situation where I was almost in a car accident. The truck is not drivable and I have also had to pay for two tows now because this is also not covered in the recall.

Recall 26V237 / Ford 26S28** Vehicle 2015 Ford F 150 VIN: [XXX] Recall Reference NHTSA Recall: 26V237 Ford Recall: 26S28 Summary of Active Safety Defect My vehicle is experiencing the exact defect described in Recall 26V237. I have had two unintended downshifts within the past two weeks while traveling at approximately 35–40 mph. Each event caused abrupt deceleration and temporary rear wheel traction loss. Events • Two unintended downshifts in two weeks • Speeds ~35–40 mph • Abrupt wheel speed reduction and rear wheel slide • “Check Engine” light illuminated • Powertrain warning indicators present Diagnostic Findings My independent mechanic retrieved three powertrain related error codes. He confirmed the codes and symptoms match the recall condition. Ford and Dealer Response My servicing dealer in [XXX] stated the software remedy will not be available until XXX. Ford Customer Service confirmed the same and additionally stated that no loaner vehicle or rental reimbursement is available, even though the defect is active and recurring. Safety Concern The recall notice states this defect “may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.” Because the defect has already occurred twice at moderate speeds, I am concerned about the risk of recurrence at highway speeds. Impact of Remedy Delay With the remedy unavailable until mid 2026 and Ford offering no interim transportation support, I have determined that the vehicle is unsafe to operate. I have parked the t

A very weird chirping noise; really bad when I start truck then it calms down but I can hear it while driving. I took it to my auto mechanic shop & they said both exhaust manifolds are warped & need replacing. I bought this truck January of 2020 & I’ve spent a small fortune on it. I owned a Chevrolet Silverado for 14 years & never had issues like this truck has had. After researching info it appears this is an ongoing issue with these trucks. Ford should be responsible!!

The truck exhibited the abrupt downshifting upon driving out of the parking lot, this caused great stress and possible accidents to me and family. The transmission continued to get worse and we were in fear of our lives to drive the vehicle on the highway. Once we got the vehicle home it literally would not shift into gear and has been disabled since the first week in XXX. We are plumbing and heat contractors and have lost a great deal of business due to not having a truck/this truck to use for work. We had it towed to Greico Ford in [XXX] on advice from Keith, the Service Mgr. We know the recall is due in XXX. This dealership is now trying to tell us that all the hoses are damaged and wants to charge us $2,000 to repair the hoses. We obviously don't want to do this since we believe the violent jarring and downshifting of the transmission caused by this MFG defect probably caused this and a lot more other problems. MFG Recall #26S28, NHTSA Recall# 26V237. I need to know when this recall remedy will be submitted and what are my rights to get this fixed?

Component or system that failed: The backup camera system failed and is completely inoperable. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety risk: The failure of the backup camera creates a safety hazard when reversing the vehicle. Without the camera providing visibility behind the truck, there is an increased risk of striking a pedestrian, another vehicle, or an object that may not be visible using mirrors alone. Confirmation of the problem: Yes. An authorized Ford dealership diagnosed the failure and charged me for the inspection. The dealer informed me that my vehicle is not covered under Ford's existing backup camera recall. Inspection by others: The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or an insurance representative. The dealership did not provide information or assistance regarding how to have the issue reviewed by Ford or pursue any further action. Warning lamps or prior symptoms: There were no warning lights, messages, or other indications that the backup camera was beginning to fail. The failure occurred without warning. The problem first occurred in 2025.

On Thursday, XXX, at approximately 5:10 AM, I was driving my Ford F-150 XLT (VIN: [XXX]) eastbound on [XXX]. While exiting the elevated bridge at the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX] at 55 mph (6th gear), the vehicle experienced a sudden, uncommanded transmission downshift directly from 6th to 1st gear. This caused immediate extreme deceleration, engine over-speed, and locked the rear tires, causing tire slippage and an absolute loss of traction control on a high-speed highway. This severe event put my life and my wife's life in imminent danger of catastrophic injury. After safely pulling over, the Malfunction Indicator Light (Check Engine) and the Powertrain Fault Warning Light (wrench icon) illuminated. The electronic cluster froze and failed to display the gear position. Drive (D) mode was completely unresponsive. I managed to vacate the active roadway using Manual (M) mode. While driving in 4th gear in manual mode under extreme caution, a second violent, unintended downshift to 1st gear unexpectedly occurred, confirming the persistent, dangerous nature of this failure. Consequential mechanical damage includes severe transmission clunking noises during gear engagement and a constant internal metallic knocking sound from the engine block caused by the forced over-speed. This failure perfectly matches the technical failure mode described in NHTSA Safety Recall Campaign 26V237 (OSS to PCM signal loss). On XXX, at 11:10 AM, I personally visited Arceneaux Ford Inc.

The active recall and still no remedy for ..no ford dealer will assit with a loaner vehicle or pay for a rental. My truck has been exhibiting the sudden shifting issues and putting myself and family at risk. Need help before something happens this is not a risk any one should take driving everyday.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NTHSA Campaign Number: 26V237000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering and failed to shift into the intended gears. The power train warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed uphill, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the transmission was operating at a high speed, but the vehicle operated at a low speed. Within seconds, the speed independently increased, and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The vehicle rolled backward into an embankment and then into a concrete-lined ditch, bouncing out the other side. In addition, the contact noticed smoke coming from the tailpipe. The vehicle was driven to a nearby friend's residence. A police report was filed. The contact was taken to a local medical center, having sustained a bruised forehead, a bruised left ankle, and a bruised left knee. The contact was receiving continued treatment for the left ankle and left knee injuries. The insurance company did not inspect the vehicle, and the contact stated that the vehicle was only covered under liability insurance.

Pulling into traffic the truck suddenly shifts from fifth gear to second causing the vehicle to suddenly slow which makes getting slammed in the rear by another vehicle highly likely. At high speeds on the highway it becomes dangerous to change lanes and expect the truck to maintain speed. This problem is occurring frequently now so an accident is likely to occur. I want a loaner until Ford fins and makes the fix available.

The vehicle has a documented, active transmission failure code P0720 relating to Recall 26S28 (NHTSA Campaign 26V237). Per pages 3 and 4 of Ford's official Part 573 Safety Recall Report, dealers are explicitly required to bypass the software wait and replace the physical lead frame hardware if a vehicle exhibits this code prior to the software's release. The local franchise dealership (McCombs Ford West in San Antonio, TX) and Ford Corporate Customer Relations are both actively refusing to honor this hardware safety remedy directive, forcing the vehicle to be grounded on the dealer lot due to the severe risk of high-speed rear-wheel lockup, while denying mandated alternative transportation support. Furthermore, the dealership has failed to execute the safety remedy for open Brake Master Cylinder Recall 20S31 (NHTSA Campaign 20V332000), which presents an immediate risk of a sudden loss of braking pressure.

Transmission is making a grinding noise in gear from 5 to 6 and sometimes from 3 to 4

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 56 MPH, the hood was bouncing and the hood became unsecured and flew open, covering the windshield, and the windshield was cracked. The contact was able to safely maneuver the vehicle onto the shoulder of the roadway and subsequently had the vehicle towed to the residence. The contact stated that the hood latch appeared to be locked in place; however, the support bar had no tension nor screws missing. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired because the contact was unable to schedule an appointment. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

Hooked up my trailer after coming home from a trip to take it to a dump station to empty the tanks. Ford OEM Trailer Brake Control Module locked the brakes on my trailer immediately and then short circuited itself, emitting a burnt electrical smell through out the vehicle, then suddenly released the brakes and would not function via the brake petal or manually engaging the lever. There were no previous indications that an issue was happening. After removing I found that a single chip had bubbled and melted itself. Had this happened while the trailer was in significant motion, such as towing down a canyon, could have resulted in catastrophic loss.

See attached document for complaint.

This recall has not been handled by Ford Motor company. My transmission is getting destroyed and starting to sound awful from the random downshifts.

I was on the highway and my truck suddenly decreased speed rapidly. Luckily I was able to pull onto a side road and get to safety but it was extremely dangerous and scary situation. The dealer has confirmed the symptoms fit the issue with the recall. Since Ford does not have a fix for this solution yet until July 1 my vehicle is unable to be driven or repaired leaving me stranded without a vehicle. However, this is a very concerning safety issue and my family could have been severely impacted traveling on the highway.

The truck has sporadically gone into “limp” mode for 6+ years. In the last 4 weeks it has happened a total of 6 times while driving. On Tuesday 6/9/2026 it happened while leaving a driveway. I was able to disconnect the battery and let the throttle body reset. I reconnected the battery, it started and drove without problems. I connected a loaded horse trailer, drove approximately 12 miles and it happened again, this time on a two lane road with a soft , uneven shoulder going from 60 miles per hour to 8 miles per hour very quickly. I was able to turn on my hazard lights and pull onto the grass, but only about 5 inches off the 60 mph road. In order to reset the throttle body, I disconnected the battery again, disabling the hazard lights while vehicles passed by narrowly colliding with us several times. The check engine light was illuminated, but I was not in a safe place to scan the truck. It usually disappears after resetting the throttle body, but did not this time. After 10 minutes, I heard the throttle body click, it started up and I drove another 15 miles when it happened again. This time at a temporary stoplight with no shoulder. I was able to scan the computer and the P2111 code was displayed. I reset the throttle body again, drove 5 miles and it happened again. I was able to navigate to a safer area, reset the throttle body again and drive less than two miles home. On 6/11, after letting the truck sit for two days, I started it with no issue to move the trailer and it h

Vehicle began randomly downshifting while driving causing the wheels to lock up. Would have to pull over and shut the vehicle off. Showed Engine code for lead frame which I had replaced but ford does not want to reimburse me because they have not released an official remedy for the recall.

The contact called on behalf of his son who owned a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the "malfunction" indicator was illuminated, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted while there was ice on the road, and the front center of the vehicle crashed into a tree. The contact's son was pronounced deceased at the scene and the vehicle was pronounced totaled at the scene. The air bags were deployed. A police report was filed. The contact was notified that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V237000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The vehicle lost power rolling from a stop sign, felt like it was trying to shift but wouldn’t then went into limp mode, drove fine the next day. The faulty lead frame is failing, it has no other cause. I refuse to drive and put myself and others in danger to prove it. The dealer said they couldn’t cover it because the code is not covered in the recall, they recommended a new valve body or transmission, they didn't even say why. They were able to recreate it wrench light. P2704 is the code they claimed with the 2 leading causes are valve body, they said my fluid was clean and the vehicle has up to date service with no previous sign of wear, or the lead frame going out, the ACTIVELY recalled part. I tried contacting ford directly and they refused assistance beyond “tow it to a different dealer” and then ended the conversation. It is a safety issue that I will not wait to have break if there is clear signs of it happening.

My truck experienced a sudden downshift and loss of power, it threw a p2704 at the dealership but I don’t trust this dealership as they quoted me for a new transmission shortly after that, I tried calling the ford service line and they did not pickup, I went to their contact and they said to tow it to a different dealership for a second opinion, it is a severe safety risk and it is certainly the failing lead frame based on the trucks condition and service record, the service advisor online then ended the chat with me after I asked for a supervisor. I am not going to harm myself or others waiting for my truck to prove it has a critical failure waiting. I have a clear service record up to date with nothing that would point at a valve body, the next thing in row that would throw that code, and I refuse to pay out of pocket for something caused by the broken recalled part. I can either continue to drive it till it fails or have it replaced now.

My 2015 Ford F-150 experienced a sudden, dangerous loss of throttle power while driving, forcing an emergency stop on the side of the road. The vehicle is now locked in a hard electronic no-start/no-crank condition. We diagnosed the vehicle and pulled active, stored trouble codes P0706 and P0707 for the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS).This failure matches the exact defect described in NHTSA Campaign 26V237 / Ford Recall 26S28. However, Ford Corporate and the local dealership (Washington Ford in PA) are actively refusing to provide an emergency diagnostic scan, towing, or physical parts replacement, claiming they will not honor the remedy until June 30th. This has left a hazardous, disabled vehicle stranded on my property. They have acknowledged this meets the criteria of the safety recall but want me to pay for the towing of the disabled vehicle, diagnostics, and repair upfront including the lead frame which the recall notice specifically states should be replaced because the codes were thrown before reprogramming.

Recall 26V237 / Ford 26S28** Vehicle 2015 Ford F 150 VIN: [XXX] Recall Reference NHTSA Recall: 26V237 Ford Recall: 26S28 Summary of Safety Issue My vehicle has begun experiencing the exact defect described in Recall 26V237. The truck has twice downshifted unexpectedly to a much lower gear while traveling at approximately 35–40 mph. Both events caused abrupt deceleration and a momentary loss of rear wheel traction. Events • Two unintended downshifts in the past two weeks • Speeds approximately 35–40 mph • Abrupt wheel speed reduction consistent with recall description • Rear tires briefly slid until speed decreased • “Check Engine” light illuminated • Powertrain warning indicators present Diagnostic Findings My independent mechanic retrieved five powertrain related error codes. He confirmed the codes align with the recall condition and that the downshifting behavior is consistent with a transmission control module fault. Safety Concern The recall notice states that this defect “may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.” Because the issue has already occurred twice at moderate speeds, I am concerned that a recurrence at highway speeds could lead to loss of control. Remedy Delay Ford and my local dealer (Colorado Springs, CO) informed me that the software remedy will not be available until June 30, 2026. The recall notice states that the remedy is “not yet available.” Current Status Given the active defect, warning lights, and repeat occurrences, I

I was driving on the highway when the truck shifted and caused the brakes to lock up. Luckily it was pretty late and there weren't very many cars on the road. I was stuck in the driving lane until I turned the truck off and turned it back on. It seemed to drive fine after that so I thought maybe I hit something. I took it to a mechanic the next day and they were unable to recreate the issue or find a code to do anything about it. I ended up replacing other parts trying to figure out what caused it and was completely unaware until I got a notice of a recall for this same issue.

I received a safety recall notice 26S28/NHTSA Recall 26V237 On the same day that this occurred in my truck. Luckily for me, I was within 2 miles of home, the only way I could get home was to drive in first gear up the mountain road to get there. My truck is not drivable. If this happens on a freeway, I most likely would be rear ended as the vehicle stops suddenly. What recourse do I have from Ford motor company since I can’t drive the truck that they sold me? The recall notice says a fix won’t be ready until July, and that is a long time from now. I need a vehicle to drive. I feel like not having this remedy ready yet means that it’s not ready in a timely manner.

The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V237000(POWER TRAIN) The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and they informed he had to wait for the remedy or pay out of pocket.

The transmission downshifted at about 65-70 mph and after it stopped it wouldn't start or move. towed to Beach Ford and was quote $1700+ to fix.. Was told pan was pulled and they said "large chunks of metal were found". {Not surprising after downshifting at 65+mph...} Than I was quoted $7500+ for an Jasper aftermarket rebuild transition and i would suppose it still has the potential for lockup, especially if ford cant fix the problem until mid July!!! I think lives are at risk, the downshift is a very violent experience and total loss of control is very possible especially in wet or snowy conditions... I'm open to suggestions for additional contact information IE: Sen or congressmen ...Thank You
