POWER TRAIN
Wrench light came on. Skipped shifts and over revs. Truck has been at Ford service for a month. Parts ordered. Tore into and ordered more parts. Truck has 69,000 miles so it is 9,000 miles outside of powertrain warranty. Estimated repair cost is $4,800. FORD customer service offered nothing beside we're sorry. Truck has not shifted right since day one. Ford did a transmission reprogram flash at about 10,000 which helped a little. Cross lane traffic turns had to be planned and timed in case the transmission decided to think about shifting gears while coasting.

Gears are slipping and fluttering between gears 3, 4, & 5. Research leads me to a TSB-2250 released by Ford in 8/2023, and it has caused me to lose speed/control when accelerating through traffic intersections and getting up to speed on the high way.

Transmission slips and shifts erratic. Sometimes it hesitates and lacks power. It's dangerous due to being unpredictable in operation. Vehicle has been in dealership and "found to be normal." I was blown off. It has always shifted jerking and shifting erratic. They said "nothing could be done about it and this is the way it is.. " Now I find out there is a service bulletin that addresses the issue but Ford will NOT FIX IT because I am 3 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY. Still in mileage at 44k. This is a safety issue and a recall should be issued due to the massive number affected drivers and Ford's absolute unwillingness to own their defect!

The Cam Phasers are going bad. This is a known issue with Ford 3.5l GTDI engines. They have published Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03 in relation to this matter. My 2019 F150 is experiencing failed cam phasers, which has been confirmed by the Ford dealership. I reached out to Ford to discuss the matter, but they stated my vehicle is not covered under this program. A claim report was started by Ford on my issue CXH01965202. The same failure described in the Ford document is happening in my vehicle, so I do not understand why my vehicle is being excluded. The failure is more widespread than what Ford is claiming, and they need to expand the program to include all impacted automobiles.

Five weeks ago, my transmission service light came on. I drove to Phil Long Ford, by nursing the vehicle along, and left it to be repaired. I was told today that the 10 speed transmission is a common problem, and they are backed up for repairs for many of these same problems. I have had to wait for parts due the frequent occurrence of this issue, and lack of trained personnel to handle it. I was also told today that it would be two more weeks before I can get back the vehicle. If this is so common that the dealers are having issued repairing, there should be a quality recall of these vehicles, to repair or replace or compensate the owners.

I purchased a 2019 F150 in 2023 to date the car has roughly 60,000miles on it. Recently I noticed it "slipping" when driving. I brought it to the dealer where the car was purchased to be looked at. Upon dropping the car off, a service tech said this was a common issue in this type of vehicle. Ford called a few days later, the vehicle needs a full transmission rebuild and they are not willing to help cover the cost even though they sold the vehicle with a faulty transmission and without disclosing a material fact about the vehicle. The transmission is the system that failed/is failing and it is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle got stuck in 4th gear which prevented it from properly shifting and maintaining an appropriate speed on an interstate. This put and will put myself and every vehicle around me in danger.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
The first item to malfunction was the transmission gear indicator on the dash, that started about a year after I bought the truck and would intermittently work. I had multiple oil changes in the truck at various dealers and brought it up but nothing ever came up from it since it was intermittent. Then in 2023 a warning popped up that the blind spot indicators were malfunctioning. I was planning to bring it in to be looked at but did not have time to with work and family. Then at 95,000 miles the transmission failed while towing a loaded trailer and began to shift erratically, sending the engine to extremely dangerous RPM levels while trying to downshift. Every gear began to clunk into place with a severe jerking motion and then eventually could only be operated with any sort of safety at low speeds. There were initially NO warning lamps that popped up for the transmission failure either. It went out at night 2.5hours away from my home so I spent 15minutes limping it to a gas station at low very low speeds. Only moving it around a bit the next day did it show any warning and it just said to see the dealer.

The transmission went out after only having the truck 1 year. Hard shifting, sluggish shifting and now it’s gone from what the dealership said. It’s the Eco boost V6 with the 10 speed transmission 10R80. I see lawsuits but no recalls from Ford. Couldn’t get up a small hill. The truck is still in the shop

Transmission has hard shifting at various speeds even if you let go of gas. HARD & Delayed shift from park to reverse sometimes park to drive! There’s multiple TSB from ford stating the reason and cause for this! This is a manufacture defect that people have to pay out of pocket for if we aren’t under manufacturing warranty! I think they knew before hand but neglected it they should be the one covering the payment for getting transmission fixed not the owner when it was a manufacturer problem

While leaving the parking spot at Winco the truck turned itself off and displayed the following message. Auto start-stop shift to P restart engine I was able to restart the engine after putting it in park, if that had happened at an intersection it could have been very severe. I am getting the truck serviced. ASAP
