Transmission keeps having difficulty finding gear. Repeatedly changes gears hard. Mostly during down shifts. When accelerating when it is already at a higher gear the truck shutters. Ford reprogrammed it. Still has problems. Says there isn-??t anything else they can do. I-??m just waiting for the transmission to completely crap to bed before warranty is up.

On certain occasions, the transmission will make a banging noise while causing the truck to jerk forward when the vehicle has to upshift such as taking off from an intersection but rarely jerks when the vehicle is downshifting. Also, while using the adaptive cruise control system, the vehicle will travel close to the right or middle lane as if it is looking for the pavement striping and then move back over to the center of the lane. With the adaptive cruise system, when the vehicle is supposed to be in the center of the lane, the system slightly turns the the wheel as if it is having trouble staying in the center of the lane. The vehicle also has a CSP for unintended tailgate opening. i have an appointment set for November 18th but have been trying to get in touch with the service advisor that was assigned to me multiple times and was told he would receive an email to contact me each time but he has not contacted me. The shifting/jerking problem has occurred only three times and the issue with the adaptive cruise system is every time it is turned on while traveling a multi lane highway that has a broken striped line on both sides of the vehicle. Since this is my only vehicle, if the vehicle has to be kept at the dealer, I would need a loaner vehicle to travel to and from work while my vehicle is being repaired. I only use my truck on paved roads. Date is most recent incident of transmission issue.

This is the third rear axle bolt that has broken on this truck. It was found during a flat repair.

- Yuma, AZ, USA

The the head of the rear axle bolt on the passenger side has sheered off. This is the bolt which holds the rear axel shaft connected to the brake assembly. This broke at least 2 weeks before it was officially discovered on August 9th of 2022. Ford has yet to provide a clear date on when the replacement part will be provided. They claim the enter axel shaft needs to be replaced and that the replacement SHOULD come off of back order at the end of October 2022. They told me this same thing back in August, that i would have my part by the end of August. The internet is ablaze with this issue.

The passenger side rear hub bolt sheared off. My mechanic found it while rotating my tires. I called the Ford dealership and they advised me that I am not to drive it and have it towed for repair. I tow a travel trailer which is within the limits of the truck and I'm thankful that it was not a catastrophic failure that caused the wheel to fall off and cause an accident.

- Homer, MI, USA

The bolts that holds the wheel assemblies to the axle have both broke off. Right side in February and the left side in September. It allows the wheel and brake rotor assembly to move in and out on the axle shaft. The only thing holding the wheel on the truck is the brake rotor assembly. It was found during a tire rotation.

9.75HD Rear axle retaining bolt sheared off.

- Mccleary , WA, USA

No part failure confirmed by Ford. Transmission has very hard downshift at highway speeds from 10th gear to 8th gear under moderate throttle causing the rear wheels to chirp. Had this happened during cold months it could have caused me to spin out. Ford states transmission is normal yet previous TSBs show consistent issues with the 10r80 transmission from My 2018 and up in regards to harsh, delayed shifts. No warning lamp other than traction/stability control flashed. I have had the dealer look but was told it is normal as with other drivers. I can't understand how chirping the tires on a down shift under moderate throttle can be considered normal.

I took truck in for an oil change and the service sept advised me that during the tire rotation they discovered the Axle bolt sheered off of driver side rear axle from normal use of truck. Dealer said ford advised them that the truck must sit till the axle is replaced due to it being a safety hazard to drive. My truck is now sitting at dealer waiting for a replacement axle.

Driving the truck the transmission shifts down hard depends on the day it-??s hard trying too get used to braking when it downshifts like it does. Then when leaving and up shifting sometimes it wants to jerk the truck and hesitates. My father owns a 2019 and his transmission is amazing. Mine is horrible. Since I bought the truck it-??s been like this and I just don-??t want to be stuck with a broke transmission when my warranty expires one day for it. The speed it jerks when it-??s low speed like taking off, the down shifting is going from like 50 down. This happens all the time. I just see people with my year truck getting new transmission because their transmission already is no good.

Upon getting into the vehicle, it was noticed that there was gear oil leaking all over the rear passenger wheel prompting me to remove the wheel cap. Inside, the axle nut that connects to the axle shaft was completely sheared off and not connected. I am not sure how long it was like this, but from my experience without this nut the axle could have slid into the differential causing a rear axle failure, if that were at highway speeds, or in descent while pulling a trailer that could have been very serious. The broken parts are with the vehicle at the servicing dealership Currently the vehicle is at the dealer being repaired. Due to part shortages and as noted by the dealer being unsafe to drive I will be without a vehicle for 3-4 weeks possibly. The problem has been reproduced by multiple other truck owners noted online in group forums etc., and the dealership was well aware of the issue noting there were 3 other similar trucks in for the same repair needed. There has been no inspection by they manufacturer, only by the dealership where purchased and servicing the vehicle. No noticeable issues right before the problem occurred. Approximately 4000 miles prior to the issue it was noted that the same wheel seemed to be locking and stuttering while turning. Almost as if the brakes/axle were locking right when taking the vehicle in for routine service. It was noted to the dealership, but being that only light service mechanics were on duty they could not do a full inspection. They did inspect brakes for locking etc. found no issues and the locking / stuttering was no longer noticeable.

Right real axle bolt is sheared. This appears to be a big issue with 2021 Ford F150's with the max tow option with the 3.5 ecoboost. Parts back ordered for over a month. Dealer will not release the truck due to safety issues and unsafe to drive.

- Ladera Ranch, CA, USA

Drive shaft on 21 F150 broke in half while driving on 07/01/2022. I was traveling at 35+ MPH. This could have been much worse at a higher speed. Truck has been to local dealer (Mac Haik) for service twice in last few months, they never mentioned the recall. Dealer contributed to failure by not evaluating issue for over 20,000 miles.

I was driving down the interstate, traveling around 70MPH and my check engine light came on as well as a notification to my phone. The phone notification from the Ford Pass app read: POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION / REDUCED POWER What is Happening": Illuminates when the system has detected a powertrain or a four-wheel drive fault. What should I do": A powertrain or all wheel drive/four wheel drive fault has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. The vehicle wasn't responding to me pushing down on the accelerator, as if the engine had just stopped working. I bought this truck new in October of 2021 - it is a 2021 F-150 and currently has only 9,500 miles on the odometer. As soon as this happened, I thought back to an article I saw recently about the Ford Broncos failing.. connecting the dots, the same engine that is failing in the new Broncos, the 2nd generation 2.7L V6 is the same engine in my 2021 F-150. It has not been diagnosed as of this moment, it will be diagnosed tomorrow; however, I am afraid this case is the same as the others reporting issues with the 2nd generation Ford 2.7L V6 - I may need a new motor!
