2018 Ford F-150 complaints

SHIELD UNDER ENGINE BETWEEN VEHICLE AND ROAD SURFACE IS FALLING FOR NO REASON. IT IS MADE OF FABRIC THAT QUICKLY WEARS OUT SPECIALLY IN WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS. MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS NORMAL AND IT IS NOT NORMAL AS THEY SAY IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRUCK EXPERIENCES VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL IF YOU HIT ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DASH DISPLAY SAID AUTO SHUTOFF, SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART. THE AUTO SHUTOFF WAS DISABLED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

ENGINE RATTLING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 1500-2000 RPM AND DECELERATING AT AROUND 800-1000 RPM.

WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PASS A VEHICLE IN AN 80 MPH ZONE. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED FROM 10TH GEAR TO 6TH GEAR SO HARD I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION HAS COME OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN SHIFTS AND REMAINED OUT OF GEAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE MOST NOTABLE SCENARIO IS WHEN PULLING A 7500 POUND LOAD WHILE DESCENDING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. THIS HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND OVERALL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WHILE HAULING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS NOTORIOUS FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR AND FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE AT MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS. THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED: HTTPS://WWW.CLASSACTION.ORG/BLOG/DEFECTIVE-10-SPEED-FORD-F-150-TRANSMISSIONS-SHIFT-HARSHLY-AND-ERRATICALLY-CLASS-ACTION-CLAIMS

WITHOUT ANY IMPACT THE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED. WE JUST CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER A WASH IN THE WASHING STATION AND SUDDENLY EXPLODED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THERE WAS GAP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE DOOR FRAME. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DETACHED WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BROWN'S FORD OF JOHNSTOWN (121 N COMRIE AVE, JOHNSTOWN, NY 12095, (518) 762-4609) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR HINGES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

FRONT USB PORTS OFTEN DISCONNECT INTERMITTENTENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF PHONE CHARGING AND ANDROID AUTO TO DISCONNECT. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF NAVIGATION AND MUCH FUMBLING WITH PHONE AND USB CABLE TO TRY AND RECONNECT WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN DRIVER DISTRACTION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS.

MY 2018 F150 BEGAN HAVING STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AT APPROX 50,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OCASSIONS WHERE WHILE DRIVING STEERING ASSIST GOES OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF ALMOST CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE AND AS THEY ARE AWARE THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AT MY EXPENSE.AT 63,000 MILES MY PICK UP HAS NO POWER STEERING.

IN HEAVY RAIN ON 10/15/2020 VEHICLE PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT. RESULTING IN VEHICLE HYDROPLANING OF OF I26 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WENT INTO THE MEDIAN HITTING A BUNCH OF SMALL TREES AND TEARING UP THE VEHICLE. I BARELY MISSED A LARGE TREE THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES TO ME AND MY 6 YEAR OLD SON. LUCKILY NO INJURIES WHERE SUSTAINED. PREVIOUS TO THE INCIDENT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING OCCASIONAL PULLING TO THE LEFT. ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. BELIEVE TO HAVE A PROBLEM ON THE LEFT FROM SIDE. INCIDENTS WHERE SO OCCASIONAL THAT I DID NOT TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIR BELIEVING THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENED ONLY VERY RARELY. (MAYBE ONCE PER MONTH) AFTER THE INCIDENT I GOT LOOKING AROUND AND FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD THAT I BELIEVE IS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD BE RECALLING VEHICLES FOR THIS SO THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT INJURED. BULLETIN NUMBER IS 18-2273. PICS AND BULLETIN ATTACHED.

THE REAR WINDOW ON MY 2018 FORD F-150 SHATTERED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MIDDLE SLIDING WINDOW WITH NO IMPACT. THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED OUTWARD TOWARDS THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND AND NOT INSIDE FURTHER CONFIRMING THE SHATTERED WINDOW WAS NOT DUE TO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED STATIONARY AT MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE ON AN 80-85 DEGREE DAY WHEN THE REAR WINDOW RANDOMLY SHATTERED OUTWARD. THE EDGES OF THE GLASS THAT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK CAB ALSO SHATTERED AND "SPIDER WEBBED" ACROSS THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW JUST AS A BUILDING WINDOW BREAKS WHEN UNDER STRESS FROM STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT OR SHIFTING. THE REAR WINDOW CLEARLY SHATTERED OUTWARD FROM STRESS ON THE GLASS WHILE MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AND NOT MOVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS INCIDENT AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER FORD TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE REAR WIND SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING WITH NO IMPACT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM RELIEVED THAT I WAS NOT OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED.

MY VEHICLE I PURCHASED IN 2019 SECOND OWNER IS NOW NOT RUNNING. I AM UNSURE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHY IT STALLED ON ME APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY THEY CLOSED IT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. I HAD IT TOWED HOME. IT WILL START UP BUT IT HAS A REALLY LOUD CLANGING IN THE MOTOR AREA. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN NEGLECTED AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S NOT RUNNING TO ONLY BE 2 YEARS OLD. I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER FROM WORK IN TOWN. I NOTICED A VERY LOUD SOUND AND I PULLED OVER AT A LOCAL CIRCLE K AND IT DIDN'T START BACK UP AT THAT TIME. I AM FINDING RECALLS, BUT NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VIN.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT. ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING IN DRY 70 DEGREE WEATHER I HEARD WIND NOISE AND WHEN I LOOKED OVER MY SHOULDER I NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW HAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED EXCEPT FOR THE SLIDER WINDOW,

ON SEVERAL OCCASION I HAVE STARTED MY 2018 FORD F-150 AND THE NAVIGATION SCREEN DOES NOT COME ON, SO WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE I HAVE NO BACKUP CAMERA PICTURE. AND WHILE NOT SAFETY RELATED ALL THE OTHER FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NAVIAGATION SCREEN ARE NOT OPERABLE (E.G. NO NAVIGATION, RADIO CONTROLS, ETC.) AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING IT OFF THE NEXT TIME I START THE VEHICLE THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WORKS.

THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL SOMETIMES BE FUZZY OR GO DARK WHEN IN REVERSE CAUSING NO VISIBILITY TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

I KEEP GETTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P2450 WHICH IS AN EMISSION VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I TAKE IT IN AN ALL THEY DO IS RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!

MY RAPTOR HAD BEEN PARKED IN GARAGE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WHEN I OPENED DOOR TO GET OUT SOMETHING. UPON CLOSING THE DOOR THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED OUTWARDLY. I STUDIED THIS ONLINE OVER THE WEEKEND AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ON IT. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. IT WAS BETWEEN 65-70 WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MOST COMPLAINTS SAID IT HAPPENED WHILE THEY WAS DRIVING. FORD INSISTS SOMETHING HIT THEM. ALL OF THEM OVER THE YEARS?? MINE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE WITH ANOTHER CAR IN PERFECT WEATHER. WE ARE GRATEFUL OUR SMALL GRANDCHILDREN WASN'T CLOSE. THE FORCE CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES. FORD NEEDS TO BE MADE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY REFUSED OUR WARRANTY WHEN TRUCK ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES.

DRIVING AT SPEED, PUSH ON ACCELERATOR TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES OR ENTER HIGHWAY FROM ONRAMP, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SO HARD WITH A LOUD CLUNK THAT TIRES LOSE TRACTION AND IT FEELS LIKE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE DEALER HAS REPROGRAMMED THE PCM PER RECALL 182274A, BUT THE REPROGRAMMING HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING, IT HAS BEEN WORSE AND HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE THE REPROGRAMMING.

NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND MY TRANSMISSION LAGS SO MUCH THAT 8 SLOW DOWN AT LEAST 5 TO 7 MPH ALTHOUGH IT HASNT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET I FEEL AN ACCIDENT COULD EASILY OCCUR ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WERE I WOULD NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY THERE HAS ALSO BEEN MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BROUGHT AGAINST FORD INVOLVING THESE TYPE OF PARTICULAR INCIDENTS REGARDING THE 10R80 TRANSMISSION

TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTS ARE CLUNKING AND NOISING AND SOMETIMES SLIPS GEARS MAINLY AROUND 3 AND 6 GEARS

WHILE DRIVING, THERE HAS BEEN ROUGH INTERMITTENT SHIFTS/ACCELERATION, PARTICULARLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS BETWEEN 5-7 GEARS. VEHICLE WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AS YOU ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL GO THROUGH FIRST FEW GEARS WITH NORMAL ACCELERATION AND PICK UP SPEED, THE SUDDEN JERKING OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS LIKE IT JUST DID AN ENGINE BREAK(?). VEHICLE WILL BE ACCELERATING TO 40+ MPH AND FEEL AS IF IT DID A SUDDEN BRAKE AND DECELERATE RAPIDLY TO THAN RESUME ACCELERATION. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED, WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN PARK AND DRIVE OR PARK AND REVERSE, THE SHIFT IS SOMETIMES ROUGH AS IF THE CLUTCH WAS NEVER ENGAGED AND IT WAS FORCED INTO THE DRIVE MODE. NOT ONLY WILL THE BE A LARGE NOISE, BUT A SLIGHT JERK. ALSO, I HAVE HAD MY PHASERS REPLACED ALREADY DUE TO LOUD ENGINE NOISE.

MY HORN STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN YOU HONK THE HORN IT SOUNDS LIKE A HIGH PITCHED SCOOTER HORN. IT IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND UNSAFE.

FIRST TIME TOWING OUR 5000LB TRAILER; DROVE WITHOUT STOPPING FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES ON HIGHWAY. AS PULLING OFF HIGHWAY ON EXIT RAMP THE TRUCK STALLS AS WE COME TO A STOP AND IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. GIVES A MESSAGE SOMETHING ABOUT TURNING OFF THE AUTO STOP. ONLY WAY TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE IS TO GIVE LOTS OF GAS AND LET OFF ON BRAKE SLOWLY AND HOPE TRUCK MOVES. NEXT TRIP WITH TRAILER WE TURNED OFF AUTO STOP FEATURE, THIS DID NOT HELP AS AGAIN THE TRUCK STALLED AS WE CAME TO A STOP AT A HIGHWAY EXIT AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN18-2249 FOR 2.7L F150 BUILT ON OR BEFORE 27-NOV-2017 "WHILE TOWING-INTERMITTENT ENGINE STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP" SERVICE BULLETIN INSTRUCTS MECHANIC TO REPROGRAM THE PCM USING THE APPROPRIATE FORD SCAN TOOL AT THE LATEST SOFTWARE LEVEL. DEALERSHIP DID THIS REPROGRAMMING ON OUR TRUCK, BUT SINCE THEY CAN'T TEST THE TRUCK FOR A FIX, BECAUSE IT ONLY STALLS WHEN TOWING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WE HAVE TO PUT OUR SAFETY AT RISK AGAIN AND DRIVE THE TRUCK TOWING OUR TRAILER AT LEAST HUNDRED MILES TO SEE IF THE STALLING HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION SINCE WE WERE UNSURE WHEN THE TRUCK MIGHT DECIDE TO STALL AGAIN WHILE TOWING OUR TRAILER, AS PERHAPS WHEN WE ARE MAKING A TURN. AND NOW THE ONLY WAY WE WILL KNOW IF THE STALLING IS FIXED IS TO TAKE THE TRUCK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING OUR TRAILER FOR A 100 MILE RIDE-WISH US LUCK! THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO US A VERY

2018 F-150 WITH 5.0 LITRE V-8 ENGINE HAS LOUD AND CONCERNING KNOCKING WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HAS RECENTLY SHIFTED INTO A NEW GEAR AND BEFORE ENGINE RPMS HAVE CLIMBED BACK UP. WHEN I PULLED OUR BOAT OUT OF THE LAKE A MONTH OR SO AGO, MY GASOLINE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN OLD DIESEL ENGINE DUE TO THE KNOCK. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THE TECHNICIANS HAVE CONFIRMED THE KNOCK. ON THE SECOND VISIT, FORD ENGINEERS HAD THE TECHNICIANS TAKE APART THE ENGINE AND REPLACE SOME VCT VALVES. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN, THE FORD ENGINEERS HAD THE TECHNICIANS DRIVE A LIKE MODEL TRUCK (2018 F-150 WITH 5.0 LITRE V-8), AND THAT TRUCK MADE THE SAME KNOCKING NOISES. FOLLOWING THAT, FORD CONCLUDED THAT THIS IS JUST "NORMAL OPERATION" OF THIS ENGINE, AND THERE IS NO CONCERN. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES, AND THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT "NORMAL OPERATION". I CONTACTED FORD COORPERATE CUSTOMER CARE, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER TO BE DONE, AND THEY NOW CONSIDER THIS ISSUE CLOSED. IN ADDITION, A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE SHOWS PAGES OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ENGINE KNOCK ISSUE. IT'S INTERESTING THAT NO PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF THIS 5.0L V-8 HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT, FORD NOW CONSIDERS IT NORMAL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME WITH THIS ISSUE.

WAS ON A DRIVEWAY WITH INCLINE TOWING A TRAILER 500 LBS, LOOPING AROUND STARTED DOWN IN GEAR SHIFTED THEN FREE WHEELED 20 TO 30 FEET SLAMMED INTO GEAR. SECOND TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. FIRST TIME AROUND A CORNER WITH A TRAILER SAME THING, FREE WHEELED THEN SLAMMED INTO GEAR. I HAVE LESS THEN 20,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. EVERY TIME I GO AROUND THE CORNER TRUCK SHIFT HARD. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON A CITY STREET WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. THE FREE WHEELING WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. TRANSMISSION IS THE FAULTY PART.

THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT HARSHLY AT TIMES AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT AT ALL. WE WERE ON FREEWAY ON RAMP AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST DIDN'T SHIFT LEAVING US BASICALLY ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT FROM NO ACCELERATION AS WE WERE TRYING TO MERGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. CAN'T REPLICATE AT DEALER.

CONTROL MODULE FOR THE POWERTRAIN IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH OVERALL DRIVING VEHICLE. I WAS GETTING LUNCH AND WHILE DRIVING BACK TO THE OFFICE A WRENCH SENSOR SHOWED UP ON MY DASH. I STOPPED AND HAD TO LOOK UP WHAT THE ICON MEANT AND APPARENTLY IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POWERTRAIN ON MY VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS A CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM AND ORDERED A NEW ONE FOR ME.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT ROUGHLY ALMOST AS A BRAKE TAP BEFORE AUTOMATICALLY INCREASING ON ITS OWN TO 25-28MPH. THIS EVEN OCCURS WITH SPEED CONTROL ON. ALL OF THIS OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND ENTERING HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AND CLUNKS. MOST NOTICEABLE GOING FROM GEARS1-3 AND FROM 4-5. WILL RANDOMLY SHIFT AND ALMOST CAUSE WHIPLASH WHEN RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON.

MY VEHICLE COMPLETE TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. NO STEERING WHEEL NO BRAKES AFTER THAT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY TOOK THIS TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE INTERNAL TIMING OF THE ENGINE AND IT WILL TAKE 3-4 WEEKS TO GET IT REPAIRED HOWEVER I DO NOT TRUST IN THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT BUT I CANNOT LOAD IT HERE. MY TRUCK WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2018 AND IT JUST HAVE 30K MILES

HAD RECALL DONE FOR DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ISSUE NOW WHEN DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED TAIL LIGHTS, LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS AND FRONT PARKING LIGHTS ALSO ARE ACTIVATED. DEALER CANNOT REPROGRAM TO TURN OFF TAIL LIGHTS PLATE LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS. I FEEL HAVING TAIL LIGHTS ON CONSTANTLY MAY CAUSE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU TO THINK I AM BREAKING. DO NOT SEE MANY IF ANY VEHICLES WITH TAIL LIGHTS ON DURING DAY LIGHT HOURS

TAILGATE FAILURE; UNABLE TO OPEN TAILGATE OR TAILGATE WILL OPEN BY ITSELF. HAD TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER SO THEY THERE IS A FLAW IN THEIR PREVIOUS MODULE.

TRUCK HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR LAST 800 MILES. TRUCK NOW HAS 12700. SHIFTS HARD AND SLIPS ESPECIALLY 3-4-5 GEARS. 5TH GEAR THE WORST ON SLIPPING, ALMOST AS IF I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, THEN IT FINDS THE GEAR AND BUCKS. DEFINITELY A HAZARD TO DRIVE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO FORD 3 TIMES, THE FIRST TIME THEY APPLIED A TSB, SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CALLED FORD AND SENT IT IN FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY SAID THEY AGREE TRANSMISSION NEEDS WORK BUT REFUSE TO WORK ON IT AS THE FIRST DEALERSHIP ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET PAID FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD TAKEN HIS VEHICLE TO THOMASVILLE FORD LINCOLN (1515 E JACKSON ST, THOMASVILLE, GA 31792) ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DUE TO ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE, THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING GEARS, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. ON HIS LAST VISIT, A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND MULTIPLE FAILURE CODES APPEARED ON THE VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSTIC HE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER STATED FOR HIM TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALLOWED THAT CONTACT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. UPON RETURN OF HIS VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION AT THE SCENE AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS TREATED FOR A CONCUSSION, AN INJURED VERTEBRA, A HERNIATED DISC, AND INJURIES TO HIS LEFT ARM, LEFT HAND AND LEFT THUMB. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AT THE SCENE AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT COLLISION CENTER. THE SAME DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,363. *LN *TR Consumer stated vehicle decelerated on the hwy from 80 mph to 20 mph on its own.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AFTER A 5 HOUR DRIVE (WITH REFUELING STOPS) AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (I-85 SOUTHBOUND, BETWEEN DURHAM AND ATLANTA), TOWING A 2,000LB EMPTY TRAILER . STALL OCCURRED AFTER STOP AT THE OFF-RAMP. NO ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, BUT MESSAGE STATING "AUTOSTART/STOP"FEATURE ERROR. CAR WOULD STALL AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER RESTART. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, ENGINE WOULD NOT STALL IF THROTTLE PRESSED TO KEEP RPM'S ABOVE IDLE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE REMAINING 15 MILES (OF TOTAL 350 MI TRIP). FIRST LEG OF THIS TRIP WAS TAKEN DURING THE DAY, WITH A 2,000LB LOAD TOTALLY APPROXIMATELY 4,000LB TOWED, WITH NO ISSUES. THE ABOVE STALL OCCURRED AFTER 2 HOURS OF NIGHT DRIVING.

THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW, FROM TEST DRIVE THRU 2 YEARS OF DRIVING 40,000 MILES I HAVE ALWAYS TURNED OFF START STOP AT EACH START UP. WHEN I FORGET TO TURN OFF IT HAS PREFORMED AS DESIGNED UNTIL LAST WEEK. NOW WHEN START/STOP IS ON AND I COME TO STOP AT RED LIGHT THAT CHANGES GREEN AS SOON AS I STOP THE VEHICLE REQUIRES ME TO GO TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE. THE SYSTEM WORKS FINE IF RED LIGHT IS OVER 5/10 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED ON US27 4 LANE AT STOP LIGHT SOMERSET, KY 7/20/2020. THE TRUCK HAS JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY 4,000 MILES FORD SERVICE REFUSED TO DELETE THE START STOP FEATURE. THIS IS A UNSAFE FEATURE THAT NOW HAS BECOME A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE REFUSAL TO DELETE AFFIRMS MY SUSPICION THIS IS A BUILT IN MONEY MAKER FOR OUT OF WARRANTY FORD JUNK.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT, TRUCK LOST POWER, TURNED ITSELF OFF, AND DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE. STILL HAD POWER STEERING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFTING TO PARK.

EVEN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTUATOR KNOB SET TO 'OFF', WIPERS CONTINUE TO OPERATE, AS IF ON LOWEST INTERMITTENT WIPER DELAY SETTING.

TRANSMISSION IS NOT SMOOTH WHEN SHIFTING. MAKES LOUD CLUNKING SOUNDS AND SHUDDERS.

TAILGATE IS STUCK IN THE OPEN LOCKED POSITION AND CANNOT OPEN. I QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM. CONTACTED FORD ABOUT IT AND ASKED IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A RECALL AND THEY SAID TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU GUYS.

WHEN DRIVING THE TAILGATE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOWER, THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH AND WITHOUT LOADS IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THE TAILGATE LOWERING HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS, TURNING AND WHILE PARKED

MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK IS STUCK. YOU CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THE LOCK ITSELF IS NOT MOVING AT ALL, EVEN WITH PULLING IT.

MY 2018 FORD F150 HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE CAM PHASER MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE DURING STARTUP. I HAD THEM REPLACED BY MY DEALER. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES DO TO OIL LEAKS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON. ALSO I AM HAVING WHAT LOOKS LIKE MY ENGINE OIL MIXING WITH MY COOLANT AND ALSO THE COOLANT MIXING IN MAY OIL. THE DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS NORMAL. I TRIED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY ALL REFUSED TO WORK ON MY TRUCK THEY SAID TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DID THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT DID THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON MY TRUCK SINCE I HAD MY LLAWYER CONTACT FORDS CUSTOMER RELATIONS I HAVE REPAIR ORDERS BUT THE FILE WAS TO LARGE TO ATTACH

DOOR LATCH FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER, AND SO DOOR WILL NO LATCH CLOSED. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED OR USE BUNGEE CORDS TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TSB`S THERE ARE FOR MY FORD F150

TRANSMISSION SLIP2

DRIVING HOME ON FREEWAY AND APPLIED BRAKES WHILE EXITING OFF RAMP. HEARD GRINDING. LOCATED THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER ROTOR AND PAD TORN UP. ALL OTHER PADS WITHIN SPECIFICATION AND NO OTHER ROTORS DAMAGED OR LEAKING. NO WARNING PRIOR. VEHICLE HAD 34500 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT.

ENGINE TAPPING NOISE WHEN HOT.

THE BACK GLASS ON MY 2018 F-150 EXPLODED OUTWARDS INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK WHEN MY WIFE SHUT THE REAR RIGHT DOOR. THE REAR GLASS HAD NO DAMAGE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, BY ME, IN 2018. THE GLASS WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY 04 JULY, 2020. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SOME GLASS RAINED DOWN ONTO MY INFANT SON'S CAR SEAT BASE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT MY WIFE DECIDED TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE TRUCK BEFORE WE PUT MY SONS CAR SEAT IN THERE. THE GLASS CUT MY WIFE'S HAND A LITTLE BIT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION.
