While I was driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour with adaptive cruise control on the transmission unexpectedly down shifted gears causing me to almost crash. Once I got off the highway at a stop light the truck wouldn-??t shift into first gear for ten minutes. Once it finally was able to shift gears I barely made it to my destination and the truck would not shift into reverse. Now it won-??t go over 30 miles an hour because it-??s unable to shift to the higher gears. My family was in the truck at the time and fortunately no one was hurt but it was too close of a call. I have the truck at a local ford dealer now and they are looking at it now but said it could cost be 6k which I cannot afford to pay. I don-??t know what I am going to do. I don-??t have a vehicle to drive and now I am stuck without a vehicle to drive my family around.

Camshaft phaser failure. We had code P051B which led to sensor replacement. Shortly after cold start engine rattle. Suspect was cam/phaser from web investigating. At 50k miles this should be covered. Ford wants $6,000 to change VCT, Timing belt & faulty cam phasers. Ford acknowledged in 2021 their fault, but this was never issued as recall. We never got ANY letter from Ford. For people like us that have low miles, ONLY get oil changes at Ford regularly, should not be punished for bad installed parts. Camshaft phasers need to be recalled.

Transmission is hard shifting both when up and downshifting which causes vehicle to slip or spin out in wet or slippery conditions. Ford Dealership has technical service Buliton 24-2101 which identifies a problem with the hard shifting. At this point they are not offer a recall. Online this hard shifting issue is listed as as a problem on many Forums. Also, ford does has a recall on the same transmissions in the F250 model but not the F150 model from what I understand. The Ford Dealership gave the Following Assessment on the Transmission: Year 2017 Make Model Body Color 02/06/18 License Num!

Reference active NHTSA action RQ24005 regarding Ford F-150 pickups with the 6-speed 6R80 automatic transmission from multiple years. My 2017 F-150 with the same referenced transmission is experiencing the EXACT same issues as described in the investigation specifically hard down shifts while traveling at highway speeds of over 70 mph. From my research of user forums I am led to believe the 2017 models should also be included in this investigative action. I have less than 52000 miles on this vehicle and am the only owner. I have gotten estimates from $1800 to $5000 for repair. Of course it is just outside the power train warranty of 6 years but well under if mileage was still being considered. Very frustrating to say the least. Please help this consumer and thank you for all you are doing to keep us safe in supporting everyone with vehicle issues. I have included screenshots from my Ford Pass application of the communicated issue.

While traveling down the highway at 60 plus MPH, my vehicle had shifted out of drive position into almost like a neutral position with the RPMS sky rocketing and then engaging in a much lower gear being 1st. This happening all so fast the vehicles back tires locked up and caused the vehicle to fish tail. This is the second time this has happened. The gear indicator on the dash then flashed between park reverse neutral and drive and manual 1 and 2. When this happens I have to try and pull over putting the shifter in park turning off the ignition and then trying to restart.

The 3.5 Ecoboost engine began making metal rattling on cold startups. Was told the cam phasers needed replacement. Was told no longer under warranty. I have located a customer satisfaction program 21N03. This program replaced these cam phasers under warranty, however only up until January 1, 2023. My truck had just under the 69,999. At 68,204 miles. However outside the January 2023 date. I don't understand why I would be punished because my vehicle has a low mileage yearly use. Ford had acknowledged with again the customer satisfaction program 21N03. Again I feel punished because I did not drive a lot of miles. Bill was $3983.84. In the program they would proration up to 89,999 miles, but again out of the window.
