My 2017 Ford F-150 demonstrates every single aspect of an existing recall for 2017 F150 vehicles. However my VIN number is not included in the recall. My truck shifts suddenly in and out of gear causing me to have momentary instances of no power. This has happened, for example, turning left on busy roads with acceleration disappearing in critical moments. The vehicle downshifts suddenly on occasion. The gear indicator moves rapidly between gear 10 and gear 1. The vehicle routinely does not downshift to 1st gear at stoplights. The vehicle often shifts hard from gear to gear. The vehicle sometimes cannot go to the next gear, say from 7 to 8, and will be in some version of neutral during this time before finally connecting. Electronic issue plague this particular vehicle. All of these items have been noted in the existing recall. I am requesting an expansion of the recall to include all 2017 Ford F150's with 10 speed transmission. Ford dealer has indicated I need to replace the transmission for close to $10K. And they noted they see this problem constants - showing me a stack of folios in their repair facility for the same reason. The problem has been diagnosed by Ford dealer and an independent qualified transmission specialist shop This is an ongoing issue - per the questions below there is no specific date associated with the issue.

Oil pan leaking, front oil pan leaking on RH. Valve covers failed for updated oil pan. RTD seal leak. Seen that this is a current recall. But my VIN isn't showing this recall. But I'm having this issue.

I was driving home and noticed that the back mirror light was on. I tried to turn it off using the button, but it wouldn't go off. Confused, I pulled over to the side to check what was wrong and found that the rear sliding glass was leaning forward on my back seat. The track that was apparently holding it in place had come unglued! I could not believe it. It was raining and I was still a one hour drive away from home.

2017 Ford f150 Raptor transmission 10r80 has been many complaints of Ford owners due to safety issues. My truck jerks from Park to drive. Also when driving, the gears don't shift correctly. I'm hoping their is a solution that Ford needs to pay and take care of this transmission problem. As in the meantime I have my Ford truck in the Dealership hoping it can be a Recall.

The thin decorative steel cover on the wheel lug nuts are cracking at the corners and deforming to the extent that they would be difficult to get off with the provided tire wrench in a roadside tire failure. My tire shop had to drive a socket on, then drive it off.

When driving on hills or moving from a stop to get into traffic the vehicle will go from 4th gear to 1st and won-??t accelerate. After this happens I-??m alerted with -??Powertrain system fault-??. This causes a safety issue for me and others because on hills it won-??t accelerate and it rolls backwards. From a stop trying to get into traffic it won-??t move and becomes a collision waiting to happen. This problem happens very frequently but hasn-??t been confirmed or inspected yet. The only warnings are -??Powertrain System fault-?? No systems and first appeared late June of 2024

Rear window shattered this morning during start up. I auto started the vehicle this morning at approximately 3:35. When I went out to get on about 7 minutes later, smoke bellowed out the door. I quickly shut off the vehicle and opened the hood, nothing indicated an issue.m but when I walked around the vehicle I noticed the rear window buldging out and shattered, the window was hot to the touch.

2/29/2024 driver side tire was flat 3/1/24: I wanted to put the spare so that I could take the fire for repair. But the factory issue lug nut wrench does not fit. How can you do this to people? This is ridiculous 3/2/24 I went to the store to buy a nut remover This should not be allowed to happen and you get away without giving the customer a proper tool

After takimg.my ford to the dealership to correct the frozen door latch issue, my doors are still latching. This is a serious safety issue as the door will not latch properly and you have to hold the door closed to get the vehicle home. All 4 doors experience this latch issue. I have had to tie my door closed with a cell phone charger cord just to get the vehicle home. This is unacceptable with the price of vehicles

I had the recall repaired on my 2017 F150 in 2022, for the freezing door latches not latching and letting the door stay closed. I did have issues with it in -??23 but it was only once or twice and I didn-??t do anything about it. I had issues with the latching again this winter (Jan. 2024) and had a new problem where the door would not UNLOCK and just brought it into Ford to maybe have them do a recall fix on latches again on it but they said there is nothing they can do. It is our only vehicle right now and my wife is currently pregnant and my main concern is us needing to leave in an emergency and not being able to get the doors open because of the locks or then having them not able to stay shut cause the latches won-??t work.

When I use the brakes, the doors open and passengers fall on the roadway. Then get struck by passing vehicles. It hurts when getti ng run over. Plus it sucks when the doors open randomly in traffic.
