The engine rattles on cold start. It has been diagnosed with a cam phasers failure issue. The truck has 74000 miles on it and has had regular maintenance. This is an ongoing known issue with Ford and this engine. How has Ford managed to get away with not having a recall for this?

Merging on interstate in heavy traffic when transmission would not shift out of 1st gear, traffic was heavy and I had several really close calls of getting run over. The dealership service manager (Supreme Ford Slidell, La.)said the transmission control module is bad. Repair cost will be $1,858 and no recalls on my vehicle. I-??ve had Ford trucks all my adult life and I-??m severely disappointed with this issue

Bought vehicle used 9 months ago and had no problems, warning lights or malfunctions prior to incident 3/9/2022. Driving 50 mph in 5pm rush hour when automatic transmission of 2017 F-150 suddenly decelerated. It downshifted hard on its own and slowed to 25 mph on a busy one-lane interstate entrance ramp. It then lurched forward violently and accelerated back to 45mph. Fortunately, the driver behind me was alert and did not slam into me. The gear selector indicator became non-illuminated, transmission gear display disappeared, plus orange wrench check engine sign appeared on dash display. Those displays then intermittently come on/off every few miles. Vehicle managed to maintain modest highway speed however engine was very loud, revving high rpms at slower speed on side streets. Limped home and shut vehicle off. Tried to restart hoping computer would reset but nothing engaged. There was charge/lights but no crank or start; truck didn't even attempt turnover. Vehicle towed to Bob Allen Ford in Overland Park, KS. Was told 'range sensor' in transmission failed which informs vehicle when and which gear to be in. That part sits inside of a 'lead frame' however, unless repair was for covered warranty period Ford was not making it available to dealers. Was told this is known issue with F-150s and earlier models (2011-2013) had been recalled. Service Advisor had to secure another more expensive component called 'body valve-?? that contained both aforementioned parts and cost about 3x the actual failed component. Five days and $1800 later F-150 was repaired. This problem persists and goes uncorrected by Ford despite reports and recalls of prior year models. Sudden and sporadic braking/acceleration by THE VEHICLE is dangerous and could lead to serious injury or fatality to occupants and others. Knowing this is an issue (i.e. previous recalls) and refusal by Ford to provide parts for repair is unconscionable and places undue financial strain and risk to people.

On my 2017 Ford F150 I have had repeated issues of delays when changing gears. In the past the dealership has replicated it and has uploaded several updates and even reset it which helped for a while but it always comes back. Going from 3rd to 4th gear is the current problem and when pulling out on a highway going 0 to 55 you cannot have your vehicle stall like this. The risk of being rear ended or worse is great. The dealership acts like they have no idea why this happens and cannot replicate the issue. It does not happen everytime and seems random so I have no idea how to get it to replicate. Very frustrating and unsafe. The vehicle does not show any warnings and the dealership says the diagnostics do not show an issue.

There has been a recall on the Transmission's Lead Frame for certain years of the F150 with the 6r80 transmission. I have that same exact transmission in my 2017, and I am now having the same exact problem everyone else is having with that Lead Frame. But according to Ford due to the year of my truck I am not a part of that recall. So now I have a truck I am paying for that is not working and the part that I need to get it fixed is on back order due to the recall. So how is it that I am having the same symptoms and the same recalled part needs to be replaced but my truck is not covered by the recall. That does not make logical sense at all!

Transmission slipped out of gear on numerous occasions during a clattering sound. Good thing it has not happened yet when pulling out into traffic. It happens most often between 2nd and 3rd gear when starting out.

- Georgetown, TN, USA

While attempting to accelerate from stop, vehicle would not accelerate. Vehicle was stuck in 7th gear and did not have enough power to accelerate through intersection. Cyclic vibration while maintaining constant speed. No vibration when coasting. Erratic shifting that causes jerking motions during gear change.

- Hoover, AL, USA

Harsh shifting up and down, never shifts into 2nd gear jumps from 1st to 3rd and 3rd to 1st possibly unsafe on ice and snow packed roads. Shift lag intermittently.

My transmission started slipping and went completely out on a 2 lane busy highway. I had and still have NO transmission. I've driven mostly highway miles. No towing. Done all the proper maintenance. I now find out via my regular mechanic and subsequently checking the the internet that Ford F150 models 2017 - 2019, 10 speed transmission have had this problem including hard shifting (which I experienced) slippage of transmission. And to add to my frustration....the shops tell me....Ford needs to fix the issue and it will never be fully fixed. Regardless, most Ford shops want nothing to do with fixing the problem. I've only been able to get one shop, Larry Miller Ford in Lakewood....yes one to call me back and I have to wait over a month. So, I am having to rent a car to get to work....which costs me $1,200. And Larry MIller already told me....yes, this is a common problem....the fix will likely be between $ 900 to $2,000 fix. And NO....even though it's a common problem on Ford 150, Ford is NOT doing a recall. Come on....do your job.....put pressure on Ford to do a recall.

The transmission failing slips out of gear randomly when accelerating from a stop. Extremely long hard shifts that make the slam the vehicle forward. On occasion it will fail to downshift at all while braking, this has created several near miss accidents because of zero acceleration. Example being a on 55mph road, having to slow drastically or stop (truck was in 5th gear needed to be in second or 1st due to speed).car in front of me turns causing a braking situation (not stopping) but leaves me and my family vulnerable to drivers approaching from the rear. If the road is wet, and the vehicle randomly drops the gear, in turn causing the vehicle break traction At random times. When attempting to pull out from a stop sign or a side road if the transmission slips or stutters and there-??s oncoming traffic, there is a strong chance of being involved in an accident.

Problem started in May 2021 at about 70,000 miles. Initially truck would idle rough at stop lights, stop signs, and when parking RPM dropping to 500 not all the time. Then in August 2021 progressively got worse and even started idling rough and stalling at intersections, stop signs, and parking. When there is a lot of moisture in the air it is worse. One rainy night it stalled at three intersections in a row. You have to put vehicle in park and put some pressure on gas pedal to keep RPM's up. Someone is going to get hurt very bad in a accident or on the freeway from these trucks stalling out. My truck is currently in the dealership and they are initially saying they see no issues as there are no codes. Online there are many many of the same issue reported. All with the exact same characteristics of rough idle then stalling and no codes or check engine light.

Why is nothing being done with the ford 10R80 transmission and the shifting issues. I would hate to have my transmission lock up on the highway, because ford says it's normal for the loud clunking and banging when is shifts I see there are many class action suits involved in this issue but still Ford is doing nothing

- Hastings, NY, USA

The 10-speed transmission has had issues smoothly transition gears since I acquired it in early 2017. For years I have dealt with constant rough shifting, random clunking while driving at low speeds but now the issue seems to have progressed to the transmission sticking at higher speeds. I was driving recently at about 45mph and rpms just started roaring and it would not transition gears. The truck was in drive when this happened. When it finally did grab there was a hard thrust and threw the vehicle forward. These issues are present all of the time. Every time I put it in gear there is a clunk and a thrust. I have had the truck into the dealer numerous times over the 4+ years only to be told it was the adaptive transmission trying to learn how I am driving. Now, the dealer is so backed up with transmission-related issues they require you to leave your vehicle for 7+ days before they can even look at it leaving the consumer stranded without a vehicle. They should have all of the service records.

Transmission was shifting erratically, making it difficult to keep the proper speed on the thruway. Once I was able to pull over, the reverser gear stopped working, creating a hazard while I was trying to park in a busy parking lot. I am taking the car in this week to see what the issue is.

- Chichester, NY, USA

The automatic transmission shifts abruptly up and down through gears causing the truck to buck and jerk. When driving the transmission will jerk the truck forward and backward. This is occurring on city streets while in motion. The truck has approx. 50K miles on it and this started happening in January.

- Key West, FL, USA

The latch on the doors of the truck does not lock when the temperature gets very cold outside possibly causing any adult or child to fall out of the vehicle while moving or parked, this is a concerned and safety issue for any ages. Also car makes rattle noise and at times shut off and recently having oil leak.is a 2017 it shouldn't have any problems.
