Jerking when accelerating

- Newalla, OK, USA

While driving on a highway at a constant 45 to 50 miles per hour, the transmission suddenly downshifted into second gear which made the engine rev to approximately ~5000 rpm and suddenly jerked to car to slow down. This was followed by a orange wrench light and a message to see owners manual. The problem has not been reproduced because I have parked the vehicle until I can diagnose or take it to a mechanic. Our safety was at risk due to the violent and sudden nature of the shift which could have caused a loss of control if we had not been on a dry flat road.

The exhaust manifold is leaking, google searches and asking to local Ford dealers it is a very common issue with this that FORD will not take responsibility for or do anything about.

- Green Bay, WI, USA

I was driving down the road approximately 50-55 mph and after taking my foot off the gas to slow for an upcoming traffic light, the transmission instantly downshifted from 6th or 5th gear to first gear, locked up the back wheels and caused my truck to screech to a jolted stop before the traffic light. Approximately one week later, the truck did the exact same thing. The wrench light came on both times and at the subsequent start up was off, but the system did trigger OBD codes. I am very concerned with the fact that this exact same issue was deemed worthy of a recall on 2011-2013, Ford recall #19S07/NHTSA Recall 19V-075, but it is still happening on many many F150s with the 6R80 transmission after the model years covered by the recall.

Vehicle loss of power due to bad lead frame module for transmission.A picture of a wrench appeared on my dash a couple of days before loss of power. The Ford garage said it was okay to drive as long as the wrench light didn't blink.After the loss of power I didn't feel comfortable driving it so I took it in for repair. From what I have read this is the same problem as the 2011-2013 models, to which they have been recalled.My vehicle is currently at the ford garage for repair.

Lead Frame failure. Electrical component attached to valve body on transmision. On multiple occassions my truck would downshift from 6th gear to 2nd gear. The first time I was traveling at 55mph with an engine rpm of 1500/1600s, on flat ground with no load and not attempting to speed up or slow down. This caused the engine to rev up to 4500 rpm causing me too very sudden and violent jerk forward. After a few seconds normal driving resumed. I contacted my local dealership for service and over the next couple of days had a wrech symbol pop up twice and that said SEE MANUAL. Nothing in my owners manual helped me solve that. And the truck would only accelerate very slowly until you got up to around 35mph then normal driving resumed.. On the next occassion a few days later, while driving to the dealership for service regarding this issue the problem occurred again under nearly identical conditions. This time the at faster/express way speed of 70mph. This cause not only a sudden jerk forward but also caused me to jerk my steering wheel sending me into another lane. No other drivers were next to me and no one was hurt, injured, or damaged. Normal driving resumed after a few seconds. While researching this issue online I was able to discover hundreds of accounts for drivers wanting to know why their transmissions suddenly downshifted on them too. These issues are problematic at best and deadly at their worst. In 2013 you determined these issues were so bad as to result in a national recall. The same problem is still occurring. I reached out to Ford and this is my problem they say.

While driving on the highway at highway speeds 70 mph the truck automatically shifted from 6th Gear to first gear nearly throwing me through the windshield. It went back in the regular gear and started driving fine within a couple of weeks it got to where it would shift erratically all the time and not start half the time at this point it will not start at all.the gear indicator light does not illuminate. The computer cant recognize what gear it is in. I spoke with a Ford representative there was a recall for 153,000 vehicles with the same problem but mine was not one of them. Upon looking into it further I found nearly 300 other drivers with the same exact issue. Later calling the Ford dealership to get parts to repair the transmission I was laughed at and told he has seven of those trucks waiting for the parts to fix them on his lot now. I spoke with a different Ford dealership that gentleman told me he cannot get them parts to repair them either even though the computer is showing that there's over 70,000 of those parts in a warehouse and that Ford was holding on to them like gold and no one could get them not even at dealership. There are many People on forums complaining about the issues and dealerships telling me they have trucks there with the same issues and no one can get parts... seems to me that there is a major issue with these Transmissions. One forum a gentleman stated that he changed the lead frame in the transmission and that was the entire problem. Any help from your offices great appreciate it by all the owners, myself included. I have been in the loyal Ford owner of my entire life and cannot believe how treating their customers! Thank you

while driving the vehicle the transmission down shifts without warning and engine light come on, i also hear the coolant fan come on, so i go from driving 40 mph to 30 mph and engine is running in a high RPM. sometimes the cruise control comes on. other times the transmission is just stuck in gear, for example if i slow down to a red light, it stays in 5 gear. very hard to stop. then the light changes the car does not want to go because it is 5 gear, so it takes a long time to get going, it pops in gear and just takes off almost hitting the car in front of

Transmission stuck in 1st gear, 3rd gear, or unable to shift and total loss of power after sudden braking to stop. This has happened over 6-8 times in my time of ownership. Starting between early 2021-2022. Vehicle currently has 76000 miles. Temporary resolution was to turn vehicle off and back on again. There have been reports that sometimes that does not work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ng3HJdyyoM

Vehicle shuts off when in idle. Happens more often during a long drive. I have taken this vehicle to Firestone and a Ford Motor Company Service shop to have it repaired. Mechanics state that they are not able to replicate the issue and cannot do anything because the check engine light is not on. Considered about safety factors of vehicle shutting off when making a left turn and being hit by on coming traffic. Has been occurring for last 15,000 miles.
