2020 Ford F-150 complaints

Acceleration without foot on gas pedal, erratic & harsh shifting, and slipping gears

While overtaking another vehicle on a 2-lane highway, the accelerator pedal broke and would not allow me to accelerate. Shortly after this, the vehicle I overtook had caught up, and I was forced to move back behind them in heavy traffic as there was also oncoming traffic. With no accelerator, I had to pull off to the side of the highway. Losing acceleration is a serious hazard, impacting the ability to safely control the vehicle and react to situations. This was a sudden failure with no warnings. Nobody has seen the vehicle yet. I found a way to manipulate the acceleration system/assembly in a way that would allow me to get away from the busy highways. This involved me holding part of the assembly with one hand while pushing on the pedal with the other hand. I figured it was better to find a safer place to park the vehicle. Upon further inspection, it appears that a plastic part broke somewhere. I do not think that plastic should be used in heavy use and safety critical systems. Everything is available for inspection as of now if needed.

* What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Transmission/powertrain; currently available for inspection at time of submission * How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While stopped at stop sign/stop light, the vehicle would have long hesitation before advancing forward. I would initiate hazard lights to prevent driver behind me from crashing into the back of my vehicle. The vehicle would shift harshly and untimely as well as randomly downshift from 10th gear to 1st gear (x2 on 24Aug2025). I would have to pull vehicle off the road and when attempting to resume driving the vehicle would not move. The RPM’s would rev, however the vehicle would not move. I would turn off the vehicle and then restart it and the vehicle would move forward, resuming with harsh shifting. Loss of power, delayed and harsh shifting pose a safety hazard while the vehicle is in operation. * Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes; by independent service center * Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No * Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? First check engine light illuminated on August 16, 2025. (Please note the check engine light disappears once the vehicle is turned off and then restarted). I took the vehicle to AutoZon

The Windshield Wipers are malfunctioning, and the windshield washer motor doesn't work. you cannot adjust the speed of the Windshield Wipers. My safety concern is that the Windshield Wipers can come on at anytime and can shut off in any position on the Windshield which limits my visibility. It has been diagnosed by Joe Machens Capital City Ford Company, Invoice # [XXX] Phone# 573-634-4444 Service Direct# 573-994-2909. It is currently not under a recall, I feel the 2020 F-150 Ford Trucks should be included in this Windshield Wiper Malfunction. { UNKNOWN } Warnings or Messages?

Transmission has on several occasions lurched when starting the vehicle. during driving, the transmission shifts hard and sometimes jumps in and out of gear as if it cant decide which gear to engage. this often happens at low speeds after first start, and between 5th and 6th gear.

The power running boards are malfunctioning continuously, I have fallen out of the driver side twice and now have injury to my right shoulder trying to stop myself using the arm rest. They will either not come out or will retract while trying to step up or will not come out at all, making it extremely difficult to get into the truck without them deployed. Also, will start to deploy and stop mid-way. I will attach a photo taken today.

December of 2020, I purchased 3 - 2020 Ford F150's with 5.0L engines and 10speed 10r80 transmissions for 2 of my companies as PERSONAL DRIVERS (non-commercial use). *Vehicle 1 - at 82,000 miles - was experiencing missed shifts, and harsh engagement. Within a couple of weeks of this happening, unfortunately the vehicle was totaled in an accident unrelated to shifting. *Vehicle 2 - began to experience the same problems, this vehicle would miss a shift and fall completely "out of gear" leaving no power or throttle response (roughly 78,000 miles) and had been service according to Ford specification and mileage with Motorcraft factory filter, gasket, and Ford ULV fluid. Unfortunately this was the only vehicle I purchased an extended warranty for due to long highway trips out of town where a breakdown would be difficult to deal with out of town. Determined as "transmission Failure" and replaced at Billy Howell Ford in Cumming Ga. (via extended warranty) *Vehicle 3 - VIN NUMBER IN QUESTION - at 74,000 miles vehicle is now missing shifts, jumps out of gear. 2 DANGEROUS scenarios this week. Crossing oncomming traffic to turn onto road - 1-2 or 1-3 shift missed and complete loss of power/movement barely avoiding being hit by oncoming cars. Second occurrence, slowing to a red light on wet road. Coasting/Braking as transmission began downshifting from 10th gear,.. when it got to 7/6 it downshifted to Gear 4 sliding/screeching the rear tires as the rear end SLID/DRIFTED sideways causing m

The rear camera has stopped working all of a sudden. A blue screen comes up and says contact dealer when vehicle is in reverse. There is a ford recall for this issue but my vehicle vin is not included and sounds like it has this issue they are recalling for.

Transmission has been skipping gears, hard shifting, getting stuck in gears. While traveling in the truck going up an on ramp and then trying to merge into traffic, the transmission got stuck in 7th gear. Pressing the accelerator would not move the vehicle and I was left without the ability to move out of traffic. Vehicles were having to put on their brakes, swerve and go around me. Prior to this time I was having some slight shifting irregularities between gears 2-3 and 7-8. I notified the dealership of issues and they said I would have to drop the vehicle off and it would take 7-10 days before they could even look at it. The vehicle was purchased in December 2020 and currently has just under 75,000 miles. I was told that it was out of warranty. For the first 4 years of ownership the vehicle has always been serviced at a Ford dealership. I was never notified of any issues with the transmission. However they did notify me that a windshield wiper arm was recalled and that was changed. Early in the ownership of the truck, I experienced the vehicle moving backwards when on an incline and taking my foot off of the brake, before accelerating. Also, experienced clanking and jarring when accelerating and then having to take foot off of the accelerator. In 2023, when having the vehicle serviced for oil change, I asked the service technician about these issues and was told that there was nothing wrong and that it was just typical for that type of transmission.

The first transmission I had in my truck i had. Harsh shifting, Slipping gears, Delayed engagement, Transmission overheating, Loss of power and transmission stuck in higher gear while stopped. They replaced the transmission (at my cost ) now i have over heating issues. There should be a mandatory recall on this transmission, give me my money back and fix the issues for free.

My truck started to throw codes p0240 and p0430 when my truck hit 81000 miles. I am now at 141000 miles. I have since replaced both of my catalytic converters, all 4 of my O2 sensors and I still have the same p0240 and p0430 codes. I also took my truck into ford on Feb 26, 2025 for the recall on my PCM reprogramming. They claimed to have redone the programming but ever since they did that, I now have shifting problems, surging, clanking, hard shifting, random and sporadic shifting with no end in sight. This should be addressed by Ford TSB 24-2101 but again, they did nothing and claim there is nothing wrong with my truck. I have had a fluid replacement and filter replacement with no issues noted, no metal parts, no burnt smell or burnt fluid. Today I came across Ford TSB 24-2184 where they acknowledge that there is an issue with the calibration and controls sensitivity and that replacement of catalytic converters may be necessary. Ford never did any of this. The recall on my truck, which was reprogramming of my PCM also leads to dirty and fouling of the catalytic converter. I have spent over $3000 so far to fix Fords mistakes and not only in nothing fixed, I still have the exact same issues. When i take it to Ford, all the do is clear the codes and then the codes come back on before I get home. So Ford is aware of the issues, knows about the issue and yet will do nothing to fix it.

This truck has the notorious 10 speed transmission. It has severely abrupt shifts, thuds, clunks. Sudden loss of power or surge of power when transmission shifts. Nhtsa is my only hope of getting the transmission repaired and safe. Not just my truck my sons 2021 had the same issue. Bad cdf drums. Ford revised the sort for 2023 and eliminated it but everyone from 2017-2021 are stuck with an erratic, dangerous transmission that needs recalled.

I was driving at normal highway speeds for probably around 45 minutes. When I tried to accelerate around a slower car, I lost all power to the gas pedal and then it slammed into 5th gear as I slowed down, I sped back up and it was sluggish and slow to accelerate and then violently shifted from 5th to 9th as if those were the only two gears I had. I was able to make it home, but it was a very dangerous situation.

Check engine light turn on with the code P0087. The truck don't turn on quickly. Lose power at high demand or RPM.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, rainwater leaked into the cabin of the vehicle from the sunroof assembly because the sunroof failed to properly close.

After retrieving the vehicle, the contact discovered that rainwater was still leaking into the vehicle from the sunroof. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who advised that the sunroof assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under the Manufacturer's Extended Warranty coverage related to the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.

Rear view camera is all blury

Pertaining to the sync 3 malfunctioning as Ford put it "Ford says that an error in the SYNC infotainment system could cause a blank image to be displayed while reversing, or the rear-view image may remain on display even after a driver has stopped reversing." My vehicle is and has been doing this for a very long time. Sa.e problem. However, my vehicle VIN is not included in the recall. Will it be added at a later date?

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, there was a rattling sound coming from the front-end of the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the front driver’s and passenger’s side shock absorber springs were cracked and fractured, causing damages to several suspension components on the vehicle.

Experience HARSH Engagement with transmission both upshift and downshift. Some downshifts at so HARSH, feels like rear wheels are trying to “lock up”. Ford dealer performed recall which did not correct the issues. Ford dealer recommended full transmission replacement. Seems this is a known issue and Ford has admitted fault by issuing a recall in an effort to “fix” the problems with the 10 speed transmission.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the transmission shifted hard and shifted into neutral unintendedly.

The vehicle was taken to the same dealer where it was it was determined that the TCM needed a second software update. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Catalytic converter has failed prior to 80,000 miles. Ford has done updates, via wifi, to the system, but it has not helped. Parts are now on back order due to the demand for replacing bank 2 (driver side) converters.

Somehow my daughter engaged park assist. She put her foot on brake and with it still on the break truck began reversing and do not stop till we ran over a mailbox. We even tried to turn wheel.

I have 2 problems with my vehicle that have been going on for a while now. First there is an existing recall for 2020 ford f150's NHTA 25V442 Ford 25S72. Pertaining to the sync 3 malfunctioning as Ford put it "Ford says that an error in the SYNC infotainment system could cause a blank image to be displayed while reversing, or the rear-view image may remain on display even after a driver has stopped reversing." My vehicle is and has been doing this for a very long time. However, my vehicle VIN is not included in the recall. Though it should be since it is the exact same problem. The other safety issue I have is the front facing camera. It has completely stopped working quite some time ago. I asked ford about it, and they told me they would have to charge me to look into it. I don't have the money to throw at problems that should be fixed under recall because they are safety issues. This camera not working shuts down the pre collision assist which is very dangerous. It also controls the auto hi and lo beam for seeing at night, and last but not least the cruise control doesn't work without it.

Transmission jerking, clinking sounds,hard up or down shifting. When starting first time in the morning, feels like the transmission is engaging, gives alittle jerk.

At roughly 9:55pm on Thursday, July 11th while traveling northbound at 70mph on the Dallas North Tollway, my 2020 Ford F-150 Shelby Baja Raptor had an instant catastrophic engine failure. All power to the truck was lost. A red solid battery light came on the a yellow engine light began flashing. I was EXTREMELY fortunate, in that I was able to guide and control the vehicle off of the freeway, on to the service road and glided into a hospital parking lot. The steering completely locked up while navigating from the service road into the hospital parking lot. Once again I was EXTREMELY lucky. This was a terrifying experience that is imporrible to describe with words. The next morning I had the truck towed to a reputable auto repair business close by. Later that day the owner of the business informed me that the crankshaft sheared into where it meets its connection to the engine. He cited that this is EXTREMELY rare and would visit with Shelby America on Monday morning(today 7-14-25). There were no warning lights of any kind that have come up within the last year. The vehicle was purchased locally in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. All maintenance...scheduled and non-scheduled have been performed at the same Ford dealership where the truck was purchased. The truck has had $40,000 worth of maintenance on it since the beginning of 2025. This failure doesnot make sense. The Auto Repair shop indicated that I need a new engine. They also didn't understand why this would happen.

Transmission would shift into different gears when not intended

I’ve already had 10R80 10 speed transmission replaced once at 53,000 miles. Now I’m at 65,000 miles and I’m having issues again. Twice this past week, my truck has shifted from 6th gear down to 1st gear while driving for no reason. I’m getting rough shifts again and a lot of clunking and jerking.

There is a flaw in the design of the 2020 F150 and specifically the 5.0L V8 Engine. I have kept up to date on all maintenance, no visible oil spils and engine is consuming/burning significant amounts of oil. I've been told by numerous dealerships/mechanics that there is nothing that they can do and to try and join all of the class action lawsuits. I spent 50k on a vehicle that isn't even making it thru the life of the loan..... WHY DO I HAVE TO DO A CLASS ACTION. THIS SHOULD BE CONSUMER PROTECTION.

The truck is stuttering when you go wide open throttle

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact heard an abnormally loud pop. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. In addition, the contact stated that the transmission was slipping. The automatic transmission failure warning light was illuminated. The contact turned off the vehicle. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

I have a 2020 F150 King Ranch with 64K miles on it. It has always shifted harshly, but I had thought that was just the issue with the design of the 10-speed transmission. Right after 60K miles, the transmission would stay stuck in 1st and rev the rpms high and then jump to 4th. There were other times where the transmission would harshly jump up or down gears. I took it into the local Ford dealership to be reviewed. Of course, this is another case of a faulty 10R80 transmission. I had to get the entire transmission replaced. An almost $10K repair and Ford Motor Co only covered $3800 of it. This is unacceptable, dangerous, and quite frankly irresponsible of Ford. I called the Ford Customer Service three times, each of which, they referred me back to the local dealer (who referred me back to the Ford Motor Co case). Some quick background. I'm a very loyal Ford customer. I've owned 3 F150s, an Expedition, and a Ford Fusion. I get all of my services done at the local Ford dealership. I've never had a transmission go out and especially on such a new truck. ** I rarely tow, so this hasn't been a truck that has been towing a lot of weight (I've towed 4 times with a trailer < 4000 lbs). Customers shouldn't have to pay over $5K for repairs on a truck less than 5 years old that cost over $70K (and 4K miles beyond the Powertrain warranty). That's ridiculous. Ford should step up and do the right thing and recall these transmissions for the customers experiencing problems. I now know of 6

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal and the engine seized. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. The oil warning light was illuminated. The oil gauge indicator was at zero. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a cracked crankshaft between cylinders #2 and #3 and a cracked oil pan. The contact stated that the short block showed signs of metal shavings. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My 2020 Ford F-150 EcoBoost with the 10-speed automatic transmission (10R80) is experiencing the same transmission shifting issue covered under NHTSA Recall 22V188 (Ford Recall 22S71). My truck intermittently shifts erratically, including hard downshifts, delayed upshifts, and occasionally feels like it jumps to a lower gear unexpectedly. This creates a noticeable jolt and could potentially cause loss of vehicle control in traffic or inclement weather. I contacted Ford and was told my VIN is not included in the recall, even though my symptoms match those described. There is also a known TSB (22-2225) for this issue, but the dealer won’t cover it under warranty since no recall appears for my truck. I am requesting that the recall and/or investigation be expanded to include more affected VINs from this model year, as this is clearly not an isolated issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate and shift gear as needed. The contact coasted to the side of the road and waited for the transmission to shift into gear before being able to continue driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The failure became more persistent over time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed the failure with the year, make, and model vehicle. The dealer diagnosed a failure inside the transmission with an incorrect size gear, causing the gear failure while shifting gear. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was inspected by a certified mechanic, and it was confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

While driving down the road the transmission in the truck made a load noise and now the truck will no shift properly. Because of this I could have been hit from behind by another truck by the sudden shifing problems from the transmission. This truck has jumped in reverse before and has had transmission problems ford has refused to adress. This is the second powertrain problem to happen in this vehicle going down the road.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission was not shifting correctly. The contact stated that the transmission was shifting hard, and the vehicle jerked abnormally. The contact stated that the engine revved high during the failure. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle there was an abnormal clunking sound coming from the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Wyatt Ford (3471 Grant Hwy, Manistee, MI 49660); who confirmed that the transmission was the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

Ford 10r80 Transmission slips or revs for long period of time before banging into gear when accelerating. When accelerating and merging onto the highway I am unable to merge and accelerate to highway speed without the risk of being rear ended by oncoming vehicles already at highway speed. The vehicle has been inspected and confirmed that the transmission needs to be replaced. No other lights and absolutely not warnings at any time before problem started. As per TSB 23-2250 and several earlier TSB on this transmission, having a known defect, Ford should escalate this to a recall and compensate owners for the expensive repair when the vehicle should have plenty of more life in it.

Exhaust manifold leak due to factory turbo mounting and bolts issue. Due to improper amount of bolts in rear of exhaust manifold where ford designed the turbochargers to mount to there is warping of the exhaust manifold and the mounting bolts break off due to heating and cooling with the turbochargers weight. Very common issue with the f150, causing exhaust leaks and possible carbon monoxide to leak into cabin. This is a dangerous design flaw that owners should not have to pay out of pocket to repair due to fords poor engine design flaw. Ford should have to recall the engine manifolds

The 10-speed transmission downshifted from 10th gear to 1st gear, and then back into 10th again. This sequence happened 3 times in a row, with the 3rd causing a service light to be displayed. This occurred while on the highway with cruise control set at 75mph. The truck is available for inspection upon request. This transmission malfunction caused an abrupt and rapid deceleration, as well as, a loud clunk and temporary lockup of the rear end. The deceleration and loss of power had the potential to cause an accident with cars around me, or a loss of control from the rear end. There are an overwhelming amount of reports of this same issue online, as well as, numerous at the dealership. My truck has been to the dealership and they are claiming it is due to overfilling of transmission fluid during my recent transmission rebuild.
