Back window is shattered with no force. You can see it pushing outwards. Still cracking as I'm writing this
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE WITH JERKING MOTION..i WAS TOLD AFTER DIAGNOSIS THAT OYGEN SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED...WHY IS THIS COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE
Death Wobble Car’s front end started shaking uncontrollably. The brakes automatically slammed on and our travel trailer jackknifed on I-65. When the movement stopped we were facing the opposite direction of traffic. Luckily the trucks behind us were able to stop before hitting us. Our trailer is totaled. The car had $11,000 worth of damage.
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.
The vehicle has a 10 speed transmission. the transmission does not shift correctly, stalls between gears which causes a safety issue for persons driving behind my vehicle, also in intersections and merging into highway traffic. there are no warnings, no dash lights. The transmission simply does not shift. Manufacturer has not been able to correct the issue. This is a low mileage truck, 13,000 miles, it's truly a dangerous situation
Seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism not adequately restrain The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat Transmission shifts extremely hard. 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 shift

The truck started hesitating with acceleration at times, shifting hard in low gears and high gears often. Took it in and pcm update was done issue is still the the very next day I started driving it again. This all started around 20000 miles or so. Going to take it back again for same issue of hard shifting at low speeds and now the steering wheel shakes at speeds between 20-25 mph. Frustrating to pay over $60,000 for a new vehicle and have issues within 20,000 miles and I have been only a Ford owner for over 15 years.
I have a 2019 Ford F150 XLT. 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. There is usually not a problem restarting the engine. However, this creates a immense safety issue when your on the interstate and your vehicle stops. Another issue is that it doesnt happen all the time. I would estimate 3-6 times a month. And there are no codes illuminated to identify the problem.
The collision warning appears random and not even close to a vehicle. I’m Alamo experience problems with the power train (truck jerks) and not other problems. I have been having the same problems since 2020. My truck is at the dealership and now Ford engineers are involved because the trucks has multiple codes and unable to figure out the problem. My truck has been at the dealership since May 17-June 1st and June 7 to current.
Rough shifting into 5th and 8th gear under load (acceleration) and rough "clanky' shift into 9th gear while de-celebrating or coasting. Audible clank or bang like sound during engine start up.
The transmission seems to slip or not engage at all on several occasions. Today it stalled and left me with no throttle in middle of traffic then quickly engaged in gear . There is constant and irratic shifting unless throttle is aggressively pushed seems this issue will eventually cause car accident for me or others experiencing same issues . I was almost rear ended as a result of issue .
My rear window with defroster shattered when I shut the door on my F150 today. It was without warning and the temperature was mild and the truck was parked under a carport overnight. Now I have no back glass. I'll report my issue to Ford ASAP.
Transmission almost locks up at highway speeds with high temperature at the gage and transmission leaking lots of fluid onto the exhaust (fire hazard). Has happened several times and dealer still has no idea how to fix. The below date is just the latest as I had just picked up the truck the day before. Below answer to was there a fire, nope not yet.
While driving on a residential street the vehicle turned off and displayed “auto startstop shift to P then restart”. This happened several times until I pulled into my driveway.
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
The 10R80 transmission in my truck has harsh shifting, stalled shifting, and is a safety hazard. Ford will not acknowledge the issues and will not repair the truck.
I am writing to notify Ford Motor Company, hereinafter referred to as “Ford” of the 2019 Ford F-150, King Ranch edition, VIN Number [XXX] (the “Vehicle’) recurring engine failure, hereinafter referred to as “Manufacturer Defect”. 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 “AutoNation” 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 – Excessive Oil Consumption With or Without DTC P0365/PO369 – 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 Manufactu
Vehicle was sitting vacant in a parking lot. Something in the dash, possibly behind the touch screen, exploded and caught the vehicle on fire. The vehicle is totaled.
HARD SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR AND ALSO 4TH INTO 5TH GEAR. SOMETIMES WHEN FIRST STARTED AND PUT INTO REVERSE THERE IS A HARD CLUNK SOUND MADE FROM TRANSMISSION. OTHER TIMES IT COMPLETELY SKIPS 2ND AND 4TH GEAR BUT STAYS IN 1ST AND 3RD LONGER THAN IT PROBABLY SHOULD. ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS IT HAS SORT OF STALLED OUT GOING FROM 3RD TO 5TH WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THIS TRANSMISSION REALLY HAS ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT BACK TO FORD THEY SAY THEY WILL REPROGRAM IT BUT WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. THIS HAPPENS DAILY BUT I'M JUST GOING TO PUT TODAY'S DATE BELOW.
MY 2019 FORD F150 HAS A RECALL FOR THE PHASER NOCKING BUT LIVERMORE FORD DON'T WANT TO FIX IT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FROM FORD CORPORATE, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK AND I CAN NOT SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE KNOCKING NOISE. I AM STUCK WITH 30K TRUCK, PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FROM FORD

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 ADDRE
MY DAD WAS DRIVING MY F150 HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON HWY 49 IN RICHLAND, MS. AT THE WILSON RD INTERSECTION THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY DAD SLAMMED ON BRAKES FOR THE YELLOW LIGHT, MY DAD HIT HIS BRAKES, AND THE 18 WHEELER BEHIND MY DAD REAR ENDED HIM, SLAMMING HIM INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM AND PUSHED BOTH CARS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ABOUT 50 FEET. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE SEAT. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.*DT*DT
MY 2019 F-150 HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 2 TIMES WITH AN ERROR SAYING "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE". THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN TOOK A RIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH DOWN A MAIN ROAD AND AGAIN LOST ALL POWER, COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL, BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH, THE VEHICLE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOT FUNCTION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BOTH TIMES PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT I AM VERY FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE OUTCOME WILL BE MUCH WORSE! I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND BOTH TIMES TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE REPLICATE ISSUE.
2019 FORD F150, 5.0 ENGINE. WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON A THOROUGHFARE MESSAGE ALERTED ASKING TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR WITH NO RESULT, HAD TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ABOVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. AUTO START/STOP LOGO APPEARED ON DASH DURING INCIDENT. DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE A PHOTO OF MESSAGE AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I HAD TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS QUICKLY.
ENGINE RATTLES DURING ACCELERATION. RATTLE NOISE WHEN YOU LEFT OFF GAS PEDAL WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AND WHILE DRIVING.
TRUCK HAS 8100 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A CONSTANT VIBRATION ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR, REBALANCING OF THE TIRES DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. DEALER STATES IT IS NORMAL. ALSO, THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. 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.
ADVANCED COLLISION WARNING WORKS. BUT, THE BRAKING HAS NEVER KICKED IN AT ALL EVER. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.
THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE USING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND AFTER OPERATING FOR PERIODS OF TIME, THE SMELL OF BURNT OIL IS APPARENT. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 14,000 MILES; THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR DEFECT TO THE OIL PAN, AND NO VISIBLE DEFECT OR DAMAGE TO THE QUICK DRAIN ASSEMBLY. VEHICLE OIL WAS AT MAXIMUM THRESHOLD ONE MONTH AGO AND IS NOW AT LOWER EYELET OF THE DIP STICK INDICATOR. INTELLIGENT OIL LIFE INDICATOR STATES THAT OIL LIFE IS AT 65%.
VEHICLE MANUFACTURED IN OCTOBER 2019, INTERIOR DASH IS WARPING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN LIFTING THE PASSENGER WIPER BLADE, LOOKING THROUGH THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AT THE DASH, THERE IS A GAP FORMING WHERE THE DASHBOARD IS WARPING.
MY TRUCK WENT 3 FORD LOCATIONS AND NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHY THE SAFETY BREAKS DO NOT WORK. THEY CLAIM THE CAR MISS THE CCM, THEY HAVE NO OTHER CODES OR GUIDELINES TO MAKE IT WORK. THE PRE-ASS COLLISION RARELY ACTIVATES AND THE BRAKES DOES NOT APPLY. THE AUTO START STOP ALSO IS NOT LONGER WORKING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED VIOLENTLY WHILE THE RPM INCREASED TO 5,000 AND VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROADWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WOODHOUSE FORD OF OMAHA (3633 N. 72ND ST, OMAHA, NE 68134, (866) 401-2340) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF (THREE TIMES NOW). THIS OCCURRED ONCE WHILE TURNING ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE MAKES YOU SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT DISPLAYS A MESSAGE ABOUT AUTO START/STOP (ATTACHED). EVERY TIME HAS BEEN AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEED.
I HAVE A 2019 F-150 THAT HAS WHAT THEY CALL RAIL DUST OR BRAKE DUST (RUST FLAKES) SHOWING THROUGH ON MY INGOT SILVER PAINT. MY TAILGATE IS THE WORST. 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 $35,000.00 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

STALLS WITH NO NOTICE
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.
FORD RECALLS 600,000-PLUS VEHICLES TO FIX BACKUP CAMERAS INCLUDED THE 2020 F-150 BUT NOT THE 2019 F-150. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. IN FACT THE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER 7 TIMES AND THEY ARE STILL NOT WORKING. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL AS THE 2020S
THE TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IN PARK. CONFIRMED SIMILAR ISSUE/S BY OTHER OWNERS THROUGH F-150 FORUM HERE: HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/2018-2020-10-SPEED-TRANSMISSION-ISSUES-466952/
EXTREME JERKING AND HESITATION. SOMETIMES 4WD IS UNUSABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL IN 4WD. ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE BRAKE IS APPLIED WHEN USING 4WD. CALLED DEALER I PURCHASED FROM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "NORMAL". HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IS NORMAL. VEHICLE HAS 9300 MILES ON IT. ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO USE THE 4WD.
TODAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, A WRENCH-SHAPED INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. FOLLOWING THIS, THE DISPLAY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FRONT SENSOR AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. AFTERWARDS, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND JERK AROUND WHILE IDLING AT THE STOPLIGHT. THE RATE AT WHICH THE TRUCK COULD ACCELERATE BEGAN TO DECREASE EVERY TIME I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP (A STOPLIGHT FOR EXAMPLE). SHIFTS ALSO SEEMED VERY ROUGH. WHENEVER THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED, IT FELT LIKE SITTING IN A CHAIR ON A CONCRETE FLOOR WHILE SOMEBODY DROPPED DUMBBELLS ON THE GROUND.
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.
TRANSMISSION UP SHIFTS HARD DOWNSHIFTS HARD, SKIPS GEARS WHEN SHIFTING AND SLAMS INTO GEAR. TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE UP TO SPEED.
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 COUN
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.
