POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I drive a 2019 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD (8 Cylinders 5 5.0L FI FFV DOHC 302 CID). During November 2023, I was experiencing the truck bucking and jerking and shutting off at red lights and stop signs. I took my truck to the dealership on November 22 to have them look at it. They replaced the starter, an almost dead battery, and a PDM reset. The PDM reset and starter were covered under my extended warranty. Upon driving my truck home, the problem continued to exist and this time much worse. I returned to the same dealership on Friday, November 24, 2023. After a diagnostic test, they found nothing, then stated a couple of people drove the vehicle and could not duplicate the problem I was complaining about which was stressful and frustrating because this problem exists almost every time I drive the vehicle, regardless of how long my trip. Driving this truck has now become a safety hazard as I almost got struck by other vehicles on more than one occasion. When I pull out from a traffic light or any business establishment, I have to keep tapping the gas peddle to get the truck moving and it doesn't move, leaving me stranded in the intersection. When the truck does move, it jerks so hard that it gives you "whiplash". This jerking motion continues during the duration of my trip, including my hour-long drive both to and from work. I took my Ford to another mechanic on December 19, 2023. The establishment sent one of their technicians to ride along with me to experience the problem for himself. I drove out of the driveway for just a few feet when again, I kept tapping the gas pedal to get the truck to move and when it did, the truck jerked violently. The technician saw what he wanted to see. I get no warning lights or messages about the failure. The technician said it was a transmission problem that he has been seeing with the years of 2017-2019 F-150 and Ford is aware of the problem but does nothing about it.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Approximately 2 weeks after purchasing the truck I noticed some harsh shifting, jerking, and sudden acceleration, and hesitation issues. They were intermittent and I was advised this is not uncommon with this model vehicle. However, these issues have become more frequent and severe. Next, I noticed the gears began slipping and the truck seemed to not be able to “find” the gear it needed to be in. The transmission would slam into gear or begin slipping under acceleration. There is no rhyme or reason to it, I have not been able to pinpoint it to a specific gear or up/down shift. It simply loses power and neither the gas nor brake work. It will coast until the wrench (check engine?) symbol comes on and then the gas will function. This week the transmission has started intermittently locking into a specific gear without the ability to shift. It’s now happened 3 times. You cannot reverse or drive, the transmission puts itself in park while the dash still indicates its in drive or reverse. After parking the truck for a couple of hours, I could start and drive as usual. Most importantly, twice Saturday the truck seemed to shift out of gear, so hard my head hit the steering wheel, and lost power going 70mph on I64. I have attempted to video these events to help diagnose the issues, but obviously driving and recording are dangerous and difficult.

ENGINE
Truck uses an excessive amount of oil that would not be corrected by Ford. Due to this issue the truck failed to operate normally. It stalled in the middle of an incredibly busy intersection, causing traffic back up as well as increase safety concern for the drive of the truck as well as other drivers on the road. This has happened multiple times. Ford is aware of the engine oil consumption issue. Has expressed multiple times that it was not a problem. Attempted to fix by selling a new longer dip stick to attempt to hide the problem with excessive oil consumption.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My wife and I purchased the vehicle used from a Ford dealer in 2021. The vehicle was certified used. We had no issues up until the last few months (began in the summer of 2023), but the issue has grown in severity and is random. The vehicle is equipped with an auto start/stop, which we always shut off. Recently the vehicle has been going into idle or shutting off completely and not restarting even with the start/stop disabled. This occurs a majority of the time as we are slowing down to come to a stop, but has occurred while actively driving. This has us concerned we will be in an accident because we never know when the vehicle will just shut off. We took it to a Ford dealer in October 2023 for the issue. We were told there was nothing wrong and no error codes came up. We can provide documentation for this. We finally found online forums and writings where others are dealing with the same issue, but Ford apparently "doesn't know" or can't fix it. We thought we were going crazy! If they can't fix or diagnosis their own car we don't know who will. The most recent date of the issue was 11/13/2023. When the car shuts off an error code pops up stating "Auto StartStop Shift to P Restart Engine". This is accompanied with a check engine light. When we restart it there is no longer an error code or check engine light. This vehicle is not safe! Please help before a tragedy occurs.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
My engine light came on and within the same day my vehicle shifted extremely slow. it was difficult to merge into traffic and almost caused an accident. I took the vehicle to Mechanic and they advised the engine light was consistent with the timing chain failure . I called a local local Ford dealer. They seem to be familiar with the issue and said it would cost $4000 to fix.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
The vehicle information screen in the center of the dash has failed. Some of the functions such as hands free cell phone connectivity, navigation, and radio functionality fails requiring manual intervention while driving. This results in distracted driving to correct the issues. The design and expectations are hands free operation of those functions via voice commands, controls on the steering wheel, or automatic functionality. At times the screen goes completely black and distracting noises come from the radio. Upon review of various forums, this appears to be a known long term problem with this important component on several Ford models. This functionality is right in your face and when it doesn’t work, I and most other drivers are focused on the fix and distracting from driving.
