I have contacted several dealerships who agree that this is a on going issue with this make, model and several years. ford found the issue and corrected on newer model but refuses to help with the ones on the road.

1. engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed.. 2. powertrain, transmission - received a recall 19V-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. Took the F150 to gateway Ford dealership for the update. The next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter eradicable the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, I shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. This has happened again, not sure of dates. As I was traveling out of South Dakota I contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another Ford dealership and they would fix it. Took it to auto nation Ford in corpus christi, tx. They wouldn't fix it. They said the update wad already done. The pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. In addition the drivers seat is wearing out. It should rear better than that. The pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. One more issue. The positive battery post continually corrodes. I've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. Please have someone address these issues on my F150. I think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv.

The drivers seat has a lot of popping and moving when slowing down or accelerating. Truck only had 20,040 miles on it when I bought it. It has been a issue from the day it was purchased. Feels like the seat may just completely break at any moment.
