Unknown, I was pulling into a parking spot, at Sam's Club, and lightly tap the gas petal for the turn and the truck lunched forward in the one carlink, and hit a concrete parking pole (Sam's club in Southgate Michigan has security cameras) it warped around the pole and bent the frame as if though it was 90 mph and a telephone pole.. I had taken it in twice under warranty for the gas pedal not working correctly, the warranty company would not allow a 3rd repair nor did Ford dealership take that warranty company. The airbags did not deploy, and I now have a T4 fractured vertebrae.

Transmission gets stuck in 3rd or sometimes 5th gear when in Drive. Shifting to 1, 2, or M does nothing; shifting from Neutral to Reverse or Drive creates a large clunk and lunge. It seems to be the same issue as the 2014 F-150 & Expedition 6R80 transmission recall and is so common that it took no time at all to find out what my problem likely is.. This is the 5th time this has happened. Two times were when pulling out onto very busy roads, once in a parking lot, once in a field, and once turning into my alley; some incidents were years apart. If it were to happen again when I needed 1st gear to avoid being hit, I would not have the power for needed acceleration or to make a proper maneuver. It also acts very funny when it happens and creates a very large distraction from driving. When I was able to get back off the main road, it seemed like there was light smoke coming from under the truck so I shut the vehicle down in the middle of a smaller road, which was dangerous enough. I have less than 30,000 miles on my truck and am very maintenance minded; this should not be a worry I should have to have. This appears to be the result of a defective part in the transmission called the "Lead Frame" and it is not easy to find a new one right now due to the excessive amount of them needing replacement.

When I was driving on the highway about 65 mph the truck abrubly downshift to 1st or 2nd gear causing the truck to dermaticly slow down. I am lucky there was nobody behind me because they could have rear ended me. The issue ended up being the transmission valve body harness which is apparently a common issue.

Sunroof rails broke for the second time, and the sunroof will not close on the drivers side. This problem is putting extra pressure on the glass since it isn’t seated properly. Water also leaks in during rain storms and has caused electrical issues. I can now only drive this $95,000 vehicle in good weather.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and accelerating, the vehicle lost motive power.

I was getting married and setting to go a getaway immediately after we wed. I got a tune up and go my vehicle read. After the tune up it the drive felt great. So me and my wife took to the highway, and as my vehicle began to accelerate the engine began jitter as I press on the gas peddle. The car would not go past 50 mph. As I kept my feet on the gas you can feel the whole car shaking, then the eco boost kicks in and it immediately accelerate at a high rate of speed and as attempt to control the speed by letting go of the gas. The vehicle shakes as it looses power and settles on 50 to 60 miles shaking until the eco boost kicks in. It was a two hour ride and I couldn't look back just pray. Through out the ride it was the same thing over and over again. My wife and I were in constant fear, because I felt due to the erupt increase in speed I was putting other motorist at risk. The engine light came on and a wrench symbol and tire symbol came on. The component or system that failed or malfunctioned involves the eco boost. It appears to be the same recall reference NHTSA # 24V-635 & Manufacturer: # 24S55. My vehicle presently has 78,000 miles on it and it should not be doing that. I have also looked at other problems with the 2016 Ford F-150 Ecoboost as being the web belt system and head gasket failure. However, whatever is the case anyone with this type of vehicle and experiencing the same thing is catastrophic the public safety at large and it cannot be ignored. Ford must correc

My truck only have 72000 miles and I’m experiencing transmission failure the transmission get stuck on shifting and I just took it to the mechanic and he’s asking for parts including the whole transmission and is on back order usually because I’m not the only one with the same problem Ford already know about the potential problem for 2011 and 2014 and they extend the warranty on this trucks but they use the same transmission for the 2015 and 2016 now I’m out of the blue with cost of more than $5000 to repair it , it should be investigated for sure it’s not fare for us as the owners to pay out of our pockets

For the last 70k mile the vehicle will intermittently die when coming to a stop. Sometimes it just idles rough other times just dies. Not what you want when your trying to pull into traffic very dangerous situation. In August of 2019 a cel was finally displayed and dealer replaced cam solenoid. Unfortunately the fixed was short lived and the stalling continued. I delt with the problem from then forward the cel light never coming on and the dealer never able to duplicate the problem. Recently the dealer cleaned the solenoids in hopes of fixing the problem. It did not and they are unsure on how to fix vehicle. I have been on forums and many others have experienced the same issues it seems like a sizable problem that Ford does not want to address. This can sometimes happen multiple times in a day or go months without a problem Very frustrating

When shifting the truck into gear the lights such as the parking, driving, neutral, reverse and lower gears lights as well as the lights showing which gears the trucks shifting into do not light up! Therefore, you cannot tell what gear the truck is currently placed into. Also, if the lights do light up, they flicker very erratically, and the truck will change gears on its own. When driving the vehicle, the truck will just suddenly change gears and makes a hard shift into lower or higher gear or gears which is extremely dangerous. This makes the truck feel like I've been hooked up to another vehicle that is trying to snatch me backwards. I was driving on the highway the other day and the truck went from 6th gear doing over 70mph to all of a sudden downshifting and dropping down to 40mph on the highway. I thought the engine and transmission were both going to explode on me and cause an accident. This was extremely terrifying and if I didn't keep my cool it could have easily caused a wreck. Most people would have freaked out had an accident. The truck barely made it home because of the gears shifting all over the place and the truck wanting to lose power and shut down. This is extremely dangerous and the representative I spoke to from Ford agreed that considering the mileage of the truck and with the recent recalls concerning transmissions being recalled for the exact same issues that my truck is experiencing that I needed to call you guys and get my tuck added to the Ford F-150

The transmission 6R80 is absolutely horrible, a part called the lead frame is all over youtube on how to fix it at home. the transmission causes slam shifts, missed shifts, or nothing at all. 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, and 4th to 5th. When slowing down again hard shifts back down again. local mechanics say they don't want to change transmission fluid as it could do more harm then good. I called my local ford dealership and was offered to bring it in where the test would show either a transmission fix or a full replacement which is absolutely crazy to me, Ford should be held liable for these mistakes because it should be fixed with a piece of Styrofoam over the sensors, and then transmission fluid changed. But ford knows for all of that and all of the 6R80 transmissions they've put out is an astronomical number. This is horrible that its happening to a very large majority of these transmissions and nothing from ford.

Transmission suddenly downshifted causing vehicle to almost stop locking up the rear end momentarily scaring all passengers and almost causing an accident. this occurred several times. the vehicle does other weird things as well. dealer says it is lead frame issue wants to charge 1800 dollars to fix. I looked up info on how the 11 thru 13 models have recall for the exact issue and same transmission. why then wouldn't a later vehicle same transmission exact same issue be cover as a recall as well? This keeps reoccurring putting lives at risk it also looses power making so the vehicle will not move out of traffic the check engine light sometimes comes on stating trans issues the wrench light on the dash illuminates dealer as admitted it needs a new lead frame 2011 thru 2013 had recall for exact same issue has been happening for several weeks no warning just all of the sudden each time which is getting worst

Driving vehicle after about 20min of run time the transmission downshifts hard and all or most driver assistance feature warnings alert they are not functioning. Engine RPMS raise but vehicle does not move. Vehicle got stranded on busy road during rush hour with no ability to move on its' own. Check Engine light and other warnings on dashboard. Later diagnosis with a scan tool and pin point testing verified that the Lead Frame inside the transmission has failed at 80k miles. More concerning than early failure is the safety problem this poses. Braking, steering, and propulsion are all affected significantly! Once vehicle is stopped and put into park it won't shift or start again. Also if the vehicle is in park when symptoms are present any input on the gas pedal raises and holds the engine RPM at redline/rev-limiter for approximately 5 seconds. TPS Sensors and throttle body are all functioning properly.

My truck will suddenly downshift when driving at highway speeds to a lower gear, causing the rear end to lock-up. Same issue that ford is addressing with the 2014 F-150's with recall 24S37, where they are replacing sensors & reprogramming the PCM. This is going to cause an accident and potential loss of life if this is not fixed by FORD. The recall that was issued should have included many other model years. My truck only has 60k miles on it and have heard of many issues around the same mileage on other years.

I am experiencing the same shifting problems that caused the recall in the 2014 F150 trucks with the 6r80 transmission. Sudden downshifts, limp mode, etc.

Iba conduciendo en carretera abierta y el carro se trancó feo estuve a punto de salirme de la carretera , el motor falló y bajo la potencia de manera desmedida, y derrapó , logré controlar el carro pero ahora el carro presenta códigos y fallos en la potencia , tiembla y estoy pagándolo y no me sirve , está parado ocupo ayuda para devolverlo

I was told there was something hanging underneath my truck and when I looked I found the sway bar had broken. It was not the end links but the sway bar itself. I have never been off roading or abused the truck.

I was driving down the road going about 60mph and all of a sudden my transmission information on my instrument cluster started glitching like my 1-6 and my D for drive was flickering and just disappeared warning sign came up said see owner's manual next thing I know my transmission shifted from six gear down to first gear and locked up my back tires luckily I released the gas pedal right when I noticed it was glitching I think that might of helped a little before it dropped down in gear major safety risk I'm happy I was not on the interstate or hauling anything

Vehicle down shifted to lower gear on highway. "Wrench" alert light.

2016 F-150 3.5 112,000 miles. first happend two weeks ago. Has done this 5 times now. It Seems like ever so often I go over a bump or entering or exiting bridge at highway speed my truck would throw the wrench at me and check engine light and hill assist disabled and I don't believe I even have hill assist. I would have no throttle response and have to pull over and the truck would run rough so the only thing I could do is turn it off and back on and the error would fix itself. it's done this to me a handful of times now and I had my code reader with me and the error code P2112- throttle actuator control system stuck open. I did some googling and others have had this same problem. this could be a very bad situation if a person was to pull into traffic or on a busy highway and have no throttle response and get into a accident.

Substantial amount of water coming in through rear windshield/rear sliding glass windshield door, causing mold.

During highway driving at speeds of 70 mph the steering stiffens and while driving through curves I have to over correct because the steering wheel jerks to the left/right. On 9/12/24 while driving home from work at speeds of 35 mph the steering duplicated the issue and the Advance Trac service light came on along with Hill Assist disabled. This is a major safety concern. Furthermore this is the second F150 that I have experienced this issue. The first F150 was 2011 FX4 and had to spend $2800 to replace the steering rack. I would assume that Ford would be recalling this for potentially dangerous situation. My current truck is going to a Ford dealer tonight for diagnoses.
