2019 Ford F-150 complaints

OIL CONSUMPTION ENGINE USING AT LEAST 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1500 T0 2000 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL TWICE AND EACH TIME IT GOES THREW 2 PLUS QUARTS WITHIN 1500 T0 2000 MILES OF BEING CHANGED..ADDED 5W20 SYNTHETIC OIL EACH TIME 4 TO 5 QTS. SINCE HAVING THE TRUCK. MILEAGE NOW 14,230 THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW ENGINE!

THE HEADLAMP SEALS BROKE. THE HEADLAMPS HAVE CONDENSATION IN THEM DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER OR AFTER A CAR WASH.THIS MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE CONDENSATION REFRACTS THE LIGHT REDUCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEADLAMPS TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES FROM COLORADO TO TEXAS DRIVING AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. FORD MAINTAINS THAT CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMPS IS NORMAL AND REFUSES TO REPAIR THEM UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE OFFERED TO ASSIST ME WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR THE HEADLAMP, WHICH IS AN ADMISSION OF FAULT. YET, FORD EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE HEADLAMPS. I HAVE LOCATED SEVERAL VIDEOS AND FORUM POSTS WHERE OTHERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THE QUESTION IS WHY IS FORD BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH NOT HAVING TO RECALL THESE HEADLAMPS. IN ONE VIDEO, THE MAN EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPLAINED TO FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE REP, ANNAMARIE ROCHA. THE CONDENSATION DESTROYS THE LED'S AND A COMPUTER CONTROL BOARD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE HEADLAMPS.

VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CABIN BETWEEN 54-60MPH AS WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. BROUGHT IT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE TRUCK WITH ME AND AGREED THAT "THERE WAS DEFIANTLY AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED" . SO I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO DROP THE TRUCK OFF. I DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER (SAME ONE THAT DROVE THE TRUCK) AND HE ASKED IF THERE WAS A LEVEL KIT INSTALLED SINCE HE DROVE THE TRUCK LAST WEEK. I REPLIED YES, BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION! HE THEN STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THIS AS A WARRANTY ISSUE ANYMORE AND WOULD CHARGE ME (EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM OCCURRED 100' AFTER I LEFT THE PARKING LOT WITH MY BRAND NEW TRUCK AND THE FACT THAT HE DROVE IT AND AGREED THERE IS DEFIANTLY AN ISSUE (THAT DAY!) I LEFT AND WON'T BE BACK. LONG STORY AS SHORT, I LOOKED DEEP INTO THIS AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE (2015-2020) AND NO FIX FROM FORD YET: ROAD FORCE BALANCE TIRES, NO. RE-BALANCE DRIVESHAFT, NO. REPLACE REAR AXLE, NO. REPLACE DRIVESHAFT, NO. REPLACE ALL RIMS, NO. WHEEL BEARINGS, NO. BRAKE COMPONENTS, NO. REAR DIFF RING, NO. DRIVESHAFT CARRIER, NO. REAR DIFF SHIMS, NO. 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT, NO. U-JOINTS, NO. REPLACE ALL TIRES, NO. REPLACE REAR SHOCKS, NO. PINON ANGLE, NO. FRONT DRIVE SHAFTS, NO. FRONT DIFF, NO. SHIM PINION GEAR, NO. TORQUE CONVERTOR, NO. TRANS VALVE BODY, NO. RING & PINION GEARS, NO. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SI

THE EVAPORATOR CORD WENT BAD BEFORE I EVEN OWNED MY BRAND NEW TRUCK FOR A YEAR CAUSING WATER TO LEAK UNDER THE PASSENGER DASH AND UNDER THE CARPET WHICH CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MOLD TO GROW THROUGH THE CAB. THIS IS NOT YET A RECALL, BUT FORD KNEW THAT THIS WAS AS ISSUE IN THESE TRUCKS AND STILL SOLD IT TO US. THERE ARE AT LEAST 3 IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL ON A FLAT HIGHWAY AND MY 2019 FORD F150 STALLED. ALMOST EVERYTHING SHUT OFF (COULDN'T ACCELERATE, MAIN DISPLAY SCREEN WENT DARK, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS MY HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AS WELL). LUCKILY I SAFELY PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED "ON" WAS A MESSAGE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT TRANSMISSION NOT BEING IN PARK. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, REMOVING THE KEYS, THE VEHICLE STARTED UP AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 25K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. A SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I HAD 300 MILES ON IT BUT THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THAT TIME IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR UP AND RUNNING. THE ISSUE IS INFREQUENT AND IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE BUT HAVING A BRAND NEW CAR SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON IS DANGEROUS AND AGGREVATING.

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

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. I WAS WAITING IN LINE OF TRAFFIC FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. MOTOR STOPS, LIGHTS GO OUT. PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED TO RESTART, WOULD NOT START UNTIL AFTER 3 - 4 MINUTES.

VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 8600MILES ON IT. THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST WAS REPAIRED BY RESURFACING ROTORS WHICH LASTDE LESS THAN 300 MILES. 2ND ATTEMPT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED WHICH FAILED IN LEASS THAN 200 MILES. RETURNED ATWICE SINCE THEN FOR ROTOR RESURFACE. DEALR DOES NOT KNOW WHY BRAKES ARE FAILING/ FORD REFUSES TO PROVIDE EXPLANATION OR ASSURE THIS WONT CONTINUE

THIS HAPPENED TWICE TODAY 10/24/2020. FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A TURNING LIGHT ON A MAIN ROAD AND AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE BREAK THE ENGINE SHUTOFF. SECOND TIME I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING A TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUTOFF ONCE AGAIN DISPLAYING THE IMAGE ATTACHED.

TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH HARD SHIFTS FROM THE 3-4 AND THE 4-5 UP SHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LURCH FORWARD INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE ISSUE HAS ALSO CAUSED TIMES WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO FIND A GEAR AND IT WOULD LOSE POWER UNTIL IT CHOSE ONE AND JERKED THE WHOLE TRUCK FORWARD.

UPON STARTING THE DRIVE SHAFT IS BEING TWISTED, CAUSING A LOUD CRACK\BANG FROM THE JOINTS. THIS NOISE\COMPLAINT IS CONSISTENT WITH NUMEROUS TSB'S AND ILLINOIS CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT CONCERNING THESE DEFECTIVE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. FURTHER, BOTH AT A STOP, SHIFTING FWD.\REV. AND OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS (MANEUVERING IN PARKING LOTS) THERE IS A DEFINITE CLUNK IN THE REAR END AS YOU ACCELERATE \ DECELERATE; THIS COMING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL YOKE\JOINT. THIS PROBLEM HAS\IS OCCURRING SINCE PURCHASE, 03\2020 AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. AS OF 10\07\2020 THE TRUCK HAS 10,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED A LEFT OVER 2019 IN JUNE 2020. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT FROM A SERVICE ADVISOR. THE VEHICLE'S POWERTRAIN IS JERKY WHEN SLOWING DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE A KICK WHEN IS GOES FROM GEAR TO GEAR UP OR DOWN SHIFTING. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD BANG UPON START UP. I VIDEO TAPED IT, THE DRIVE SHAFT TWIST UPON START UP. SEEMS UNSAFE IF THE DRIVE PIN IS THE ONLY THING HOLD A 7000 LBS VEHICLE OR IF YOU START IN NEUTRAL. OVERALL THE PCM NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION STRATEGY APPLIED. VERY POOR ON FORD'S BEHALF.

NOTICED DURING SUMMER 2020 MONTHS THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING AT STOP WOULD VIBRATE AND TACHOMETER WOULD BOUNCE. RECENTLY DURING JULY TO SEPTEMBER THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPED WOULD IDLE ROUGH THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY HAVING TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK! THE LAST TIME IT DID IT I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE JULY. I TOOK IT TO TWO FORD DEALERS AND NEITHER COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE EDGE OF AN INTERSECTION. MY VEHICLE WAS IMPACTED BY A LARGE HEAVY PICK AT MODERATE SPEED. THE OTHER TRUCK STRUCK MY VEHICLE AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER. WHILE THE IMPACT CAUSED HEAD AND HIP INJURY; THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOTALED FROM THE IMPACT.

TRUCK WAS APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OLD WITH 13,500 MILES AND WHEN I WOULD START THE TRUCK, WITH THE A/C ON, YOU WOULD GET A STRONG SMELL OF VINEGAR COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS. WHILE CLEANING THE TRUCK I REALIZED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS WET AS WELL. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY ORIGINALLY WORKED ON THE A/C AND AFTER SEVERAL VISITS THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE CARPET OF THE TRUCK DUE TO THE DAMPNESS. SAME ISSUES CONTINUED AND I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND A LEAKY DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN THE DAMPNESS ON THE FLOOR, BUT NOT THE SMELL FROM THE VENTS. DEALERSHIP RETURNED THE CAR, WITH THE INTAKE NOT PUT TOGETHER CORRECTLY (PICTURES ATTACHED), AND 48 HOURS LATER THE FLOOR WAS WET AGAIN AND THE SMELL WAS STILL THERE WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK. ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED AT THIS TIME TIME.

WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND ABOVE ABOUT 40 MPH, A MESSAGE AND ALARM GO OFF THAT SAYS "KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL". THIS OCCURS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY STRAIGHT AWAY AND BECOMES VERY ANNOYING. IT ALSO DISTRACTS ME WHEN I SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. I'VE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS AND ON THE LAST VISIT THEY CALLED FORD TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THAT THEY WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL ITS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER NEEDLESSLY.

DRIVING ON A ROAD AND THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SHOWING "AUTO STOP/START, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE" ( I DONT USE THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE) THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO ASAP THE VEHICAL MODEL SHUTTING DOWN RANDOMLY POSSIBLY LEADING INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

RATTLE ON COLD START. SOUNDS LIKE TIMING CHAIN RATTLE OR PHASERS.

I WAS DECELERATING DOWN A HILL. I WAS STILL DOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHILE BRAKING AND I RECEIVED AN ERROR SAYING 'AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE' AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAD TO COAST MYSELF TO SOMEWHERE AS CLOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE. THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED ON A LOCAL RD AND NOT A HIGHWAY. I PROCEEDED TO SHIFT TO P AND RESTART THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES UNTIL IT ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND IT ACTUALLY ENGAGE SO I COULD CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.

1. ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN ROUGH DURING HIGH SPEEDS. 2. REAR CABIN NOISE WHILE DRIVING (HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES LIKE A WINDOW IS OPEN).

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WHEN I APPROACHED A STOPLIGHT, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND STALL. AS SOON AS I PLACED THE ENGINE IN PARK, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO STALL. IT STILL HAD SOME SHAKING GOING ON. AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, I STAYED IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET HOME. DURING THIS TIME I WAS USING NO OTHER FEATURES IN THE TRUCK. NOTHING WAS CHARGING, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS OFF, THE LIGHTS WERE OFF, AND THE RADIO WAS OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT. I CALLED SEVERAL OTHER FORD DEALERSHIPS IN THE NEARBY AREA, AND THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT CITING EITHER COVID REASONS OR NO TECHNICIANS ON HAND.

WHEN DRIVING 5 MPH TO 15 MPH AND GOING OVER BUMPS THERE IS A POPPING NOISE FROM THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA. THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS ALSO OFF. THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS ABOUT 5 DEGREES TO THE LEFT.

ALL 4 DOORS CREAK WHEN OPENING FROM HALF OPEN TO FULL OPEN. I CAN HEAR THE CREAKING COMING FROM THE HINGES AND THE DOOR CHECK RODS. IT STARTED AT APRX 6000 MILES 3 MONTHS AGO WITH THE DRIVER FRONT DOOR ONLY. THEN PROGRESSED TO ALL 4 DOORS. I NOW HAVE 9460 MILES.

FROM 4TH TO 10TH GEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS HUNTING / SURGING. THIS IS WORSE IN A DOWNSHIFT FROM 10TH TO 9TH AND FROM 9TH TO 8TH. IT IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION ACTING DIFFERENT TO MY DRIVING STYLE BECAUSE IT IS ADAPTED TO HOW MY WIFE DRIVES. THAT'S A TERRIBLE EXCUSE FOR ALL FORD EMPLOYEES TO USE BECAUSE FORD HASN'T GIVEN THEM A CLEAR ANSWER. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE RECTIFIED. THIS IS THE DREAM TRUCK MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. WE DECIDED TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE THAN WE SHOULD HAVE TO GET WHAT WE WANTED AND WE HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY LET DOWN. PLEASE FIX THIS, FORD. DO THE RIGHT THING.

2019 F-150 - 3.5L ECOBOOST, ON A COLD START THERE IS A TICKING-TAPPING OR RATTLE NOISE

COLLISION ALERT RANDOMLY GOES OFF

I BOUGHT NEW IN JUNE 2019 THE FOLLOWING MONTH THE TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTS DOWNSHIFTS EXTREMELY HARSH FROM GEARS 3,4,5,6 TRANSMISSION ALSO OVER REVS LIKE CLUTCH IS HELD IN WHEN UPSHIFTING. VEHICLE WILL DROP DOWN 5 GEARS FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN COMING TO STOPS IT SOMETIMES LURCHES FORWARD FAST ALMOST REAR ENDING CARS MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED, SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES, TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED AND STILL TO THIS DAY PROBLEM GETTING WORSE. MY FORD SHOP PUT A FLIGHT RECORDER IN AND VERIFIED ALL THE ISSUES. WAITING FOR FORD ENGINEERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. 2 OTHER ISSUES THAT STARTED ALMOST DAY ONE WAS REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKED, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SOLENOIDS REPLACED ALONG WITH 4X4 WHEEL HUBS. MY FORD MECHANICS ARE GREAT BUT IT'S FORD MOCO THAT IS THE ISSUE. MY FORD REPAIR SHOP IS WAITING FOR THEM TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I DON'T HALL OR TOW ANYTHING IN THIS TRUCK. IT'S USED LIKE A CAR.

THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 13,500 MILES ON IT AND IT CONSUMES OIL DRAMATICALLY AND THERE IS AN OFF THROTTLE RATTLE IN THE ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY, ONE OF THE CYLINDERS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE FIRING AND IT HAS NO OIL PRESSURE.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED ON. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW AS I APPROACHED A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. AS I CHANGED LANES TO PASS, THE SYSTEM SAW THERE WAS NOTHING AHEAD OF ME, THEN DOWNSHIFTED FROM 10TH GEAR TO 5TH GEAR WITH A VERY LOUD "KLUNK". SINCE I HAD THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED TO OVERRIDE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AS I CHANGED LANES, THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY AND ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED. I WAS THROWN BACK IN MY SEAT AND MOMENTARILY LOST FULL CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I ESTIMATE I WAS GOING 65-70 MPH AND THE DOWNSHIFT TO 5TH GEAR AND QUICK ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY UNNERVING. I CATEGORIZE THIS COMPLAINT AS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS OVERRIDING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AT THE TIME AND THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE POWER TOGETHER. THE DATE I PROVIDED IS AN ESTIMATED DATE. *TR

FORD ISSUED A DAY RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) RECALL ON SOME 2019/2020 F 150 VEHICLES WHERE SOME VEHICLES HAD DRLS THAT WOULD REMAIN DAYTIME BRIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. AFTER FORD'S FIX IS APPLIED, ALL TRUCK LIGHTS, EXCEPT HEADLIGHTS (SIDE MARKER, TAG LIGHTS, FRONT LIGHTS, TRAILER LIGHTS) ARE ON AT ALL TIMES UNLESS THE LIGHT SWITCH IS MANUALLY TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. IN THE OFF POSITION, THE DRLS ARE OFF TOO. SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THE UNNECESSARY LIGHTING, IT PUTS THE DRIVER INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE DRLS ARE OFF. STATES REQUIRE DRLS TO BE ON ESPECIALLY DURING POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. FORD HAS MANAGED TO TOTALLY SCREW UP EXTERIOR LIGHTING BY CREATING A FIX THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY TURNED ON ALL LIGHTS ALL THE TIME. IN RESPONSE TO ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM, FORD STATES THAT EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL BE ON WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCH IS IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT OFF. SO THEY KNOW THE FIX THEY PROVIDED DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION THAT MAKES EXTERIOR LIGHTING OPERATE NORMALLY. THAT IS, DRLS ARE ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, WITHOUT ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING BEING ON. BESIDES THE SAFETY FACTOR, OVERALL LIGHT FAILURES WILL INCREASE WITH TIME SINCE THERE ON FULL TIME. *TR

MY F150 2019 WHEN COMING TO THE STOP BRAKE PEDAL IS GOING DOWN AND WHEN HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE LIGHT IT GOING SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR. OVER ALL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY EACH TIME I USE THE BRAKES ALTHOUGH EACH TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GOING TOWARD THE FLOOR SLOWLY. TAKEN TO FORD DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. I ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE SO TODAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE SECOND TIME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AND NOW WAITING FOR THE OUTCOME. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF BRAKE BEHAVE. TRUCK HAVE ONLY LESS THAN 12000 MILES. *TR

I RECENTLY JUST PURCHASED MY 2019 FORD F150 WITH THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MAKING THIS CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKS VERY HARD. THESE TRUCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THEM CLUNK AND SHIFT HARD AND JERK. FORD NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO FIX THESE ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO LURCHES WHEN ITS DOWNSHIFTING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HIGH AMPLITUDE VIBRATION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 50 AND 70MPH. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THE RING AND PINION GEARS NEEDED REPLACING AT 4200 MILES. VIBRATION PERSISTED, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TRIED ROADFORCE BALANCING THE WHEELS/TIRES AND CHECKING FOR RUNOUT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. THEN THEY TRIED REPLACING WHEELS AND TIRES ALL TOGETHER, STILL WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND HAVE HONKED MY HORN TWO TIMES. BOTH TIMES THE PERFORATED SEAL FOR THE AIRBAG HAS SPLIT OPEN. I GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THIS IS A DEFECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO HONK A HORN. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME AS HONKING. THIS CREATES A FORWARD FORCE THAT MAKES YOU PRESS HARDER AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, AS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOW, IF IT WILL WORK AT ALL, OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AND INJURE ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING, BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME DID I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD, THE SECOND TIME WAS A NORMAL HONK WITH LIGHT TO MEDIUM PRESSURE. *TR

THE TRUCK IS 3.5 ECO BOOST WITH THE 10R80 TRANSMISSION WITH 3.55 GEARS. THE TRUCK HAS A BAD VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THAT VARIES IN SEVERITY DEPENDING ON LOAD IN THE BED. DOWNSHIFTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ARE VIOLENT AND UNPREDICTABLE.

BRAND NEW TRUCK EXPERIENCING ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING WHILE APPROACHING NORMAL STOPS. ALSO UPON BEGINNING ACCELERATION, GEARS MAY SEEM TO SLIP AND REV, SIMILAR TO CLUTCH BEING APPLIED AND ENGINE REVVING, THEN CATCHES A GEAR AND LURCHES FORWARD. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AT END OF BACKING UP AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE, FELT AND HEARD A LOUD 'CLUNK' IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL AREA. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO ANY OF THIS. CALLED FORD SERVICE AND HE SAID, ' YOU'VE NEVER HAD A 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION, HAVE YOU'. OF COURSE NOT, IT IS NEW TECHNOLOGY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE FORD F150 TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND I BELIEVE MY TRUCK ALSO HAS THE ISSUES OF HESITATION IN SHIFTING, THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING THINGS BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2019 FORD F-150. THE VEHICLE WAS T-BONED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WENT DOWN INTO A DITCH AND CONTINUED TO SLIDE INTO BRANCHES AND BUSHES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAD ALSO SEPARATED FROM THE SEAT FRAMING. THE WHOLE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SMASHED IN WITH THE ROOF DAMAGED INCLUDING THE SIDE AND BACK WINDOWS. THE FRAME WAS ALSO DAMAGED. THE CONTACT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE FOR NECK INJURIES. THE OTHER DRIVER AND HER PASSENGER WERE AIR LIFTED AND TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AS WELL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS STILL INVESTIGATING AND HAD NOT YET OFFICIALLY TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE DEALER DEERY BROTHERS FORD LINCOLN (2343 MORMON TREK BLVD, IOWA CITY, IA 52246 319-337-4600) WAS CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THE AIR BAG FAILURE HOWEVER, OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE BUT REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK TWO TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TRANSMISSION WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED FOR A FRONT PUMP NOISE AT 500 KMS. TRUCK HAS 11,000 KMS ON IT TOWED IN TWICE.

10R80 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / DRIVESHAFT MAKES LOUD BANG OR CLUNK NOISE WHEN FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE.THE CLUNKING NOISE CONTINUES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE (LIGHT OR HEAVY) AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THROTTLE THE CLUCKS/ BANGS ARE SO STRONG YOU FEEL LIKE SOMEONE REARED YOU. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SLIPPED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS UP OR DOWN. WHEN CITY DRIVING TRANSMISSION / DRIVESHAFT CLUCKS/ BANGS MORE BECAUSE OF STOP AND GO. ON THE HIGHWAY TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AND UP SHIFTS FOR NO REASON AND 4 TO 6 SECOND DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. HAVE HAD IT TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES. FIRST TIME DEALER RESET TCM PROGRAM TO "RELEARN"SHIFTS. DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. SECOND TIME CHECKED GREASE IN YOLK. GREASE FULL. STILL NOT FIXED. 3RD, 4TH, AND 5TH TIME DEALERSHIP CALLED FORD "HOTLINE" FOR REPAIR OR FIX. NO CALL BACK OR FIX FROM FORD TO DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE SECURITY ALARM WAS ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT SAW THAT THE TAIL GATE WAS OPEN. THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED AND THE ALARM DEACTIVATED. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER GULLO FORD OF CONROE LOCATED AT 925 INTERSTATE 45 S, CONROE, TX 77301, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,800.

THERE IS A COVER MADE OF PLASTIC UNDER THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS HELD ON BY 4 SMALL BOLTS WITH BIG WASHERS. DRIVING IN STRONG WINDS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE BACK 2 PLASTIC HOLDERS BROKE. THIS APPROXIMATE 34 INCHES ACROSS PLASTIC IS HANGING DOWN. SEEMS TO ME IT IS GUARDING SOME VITAL PARTS UNDER THERE. SURE WARRANTY WILL REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER PIECE OF PLASTIC WHICH WILL SURELY FAIL IN TIME. THEN IT WILL BE MY EXPENSE. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND HAD THEM ON HAND. SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF A THICKER METAL, EVEN ALUMINUM.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE VEHICLE AND GO AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY FREEWAY WITH NO SHOULDER.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SOMETIMES WITH REALLY BAD HARSH JERKS. AT SPEEDS BELOW 50MPH MOST OF THE TIME WHEN PULLING MY BOAT TRAILER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS SPORADICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUS MACHADO OF HIALEAH DEALER LOCATED AT (1200 W 49TH ST, HIALEAH, FL 33012) WHERE AN UPDATE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS COMPLETED TWICE AND AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, WATER ENTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT DURING THE FAILURE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SIDE MIRROR REMAIN FOGGED OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER WALKER FORD (17556 US. HWY 19 NORTH, CLEARWATER FL) WHO DIAGNOSED A FAILURE IN THE ROOF CAUSED DURING MANUFACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS THE VEHICLE WHISTLES AS IF THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK, THEN WHEN SUDDENLY LETTING OFF THE GAS THE VEHICLE MAKES A POPPING NOISE, SIMILAR TO A BACKFIRE BUT MUFFLED, AS IF IT'S COMING BACK THROUGH THE INTAKE, THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS AT ALL TIMES, WARM WEATHER, COLD WEATHER, COLD START AND AFTER A HOT START. IT ALMOST SEEMS THAT THE TRUCK DOESN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS IT USED TO, AND THE LOUDNESS OF THE NOISE HAS ONLY BEEN INCREASING, THIS 2019 FORD F150 HAS ONLY USED 87 UNLEADED FUEL AND IS AT 21K MILES

DEC 20, 2019, HAD A FLAT. PUT ON SPARE; RIM FIT BUT TIRE WAS 17 INCH, INSTEAD OF 20. CALLED SERVICE DEPT OF LUGOFF FORD. "[XXX]" ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE FURTHER OR FASTER THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. TOOK TRUCK IN THE NEXT DAY AND THEY FIXED THE FLAT. SAID NO MANAGER WAS THERE, CALL BACK MONDAY. I CALLED BACK MONDAY AND THE OPERATOR SAID [XXX] WOULD CALL ME BACK. I CALLED EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND ON JAN 9,2020, HE CALLED ME BACK AND SAID HE WOULD SEE WHAT HE COULD DO AND CALL ME BACK. I WAITED 3 DAYS AND BEGAN CALLING EVERY DAY TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. HE STILL HAS NOT CALLED. IN THE INTERIM, I CALLED "FORD NATIONAL" ON JAN 21, 2020, AND TALKED TO "[XXX]" [XXX] CAIN PUT ME ON HOLD 3 TIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE SHE TALKED TO LUGOFF FORD. FINALLY SHE CAME BACK TO THE PHONE AND SAID THAT AFTER THE FIRST CONVERSATION, LUGOFF FORD KEPT GIVING HER THE WRONG EXTENSION OR DISCONNECTING HER. TO SUMMARIZE, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVING ME 5 20 INCH TIRES INSTEAD OF 4 WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE $2000 "APPEARANCE PACKAGE". IF THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE ME A "DOUGHNUT", THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF HIGHLY NOTICABLE DISCLAIMER. THE ONLY WAY I COULD HAVE KNOWN I DID NOT HAVE A REAL SPARE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO CRAWL UNDER THE TRUCK.(EVEN 2 OF THEIR TECHNICIANS AND 1 OF THEIR SALESMEN DID NOT KNOW WHEN I ASKED THEM.) I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD TAKE BACK THE 17 INCH TIRE AND GIVE ME A 20 INCH TIRE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

TRUCK WHEN YOU PUT IT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE IT JUMPS WHEN YOU TRY TO PARK AND SPEEDS UP
