POWER TRAIN
I have had multiple incidents with the transmission. The first incident happened when I hap cruise control activated and was doing approx 65mph. It was not raining. Suddenly my transmission dropped from 10th gear to 4th gear. I was able to stop the vehicle without incident. The other problem is when accelerating it will shudder continuously until you ease off of the gas pedal. It happens every time.

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving at a low speed, when pressing the accelerator, the auto initially didn't respond, but then accelerated sharply after a delay (when the accelerator wasn't engaged). The transmission seemed to abrubtly shift up by 2 or 3 gears without warning requiring me to immediately depress the brake to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
While driving my vehicle (2019 Ford F150), it suddenly came to a complete stop. The engine shut off and the steering wheel locked up. While in the middle of a roadway, I had to quickly throw my vehicle into park, turn it off and back on. At that point, it was running again and I was able to safely get it to a dealership where it was inspected for an issues. There were no warnings, alerts or messages on my dashboard. The dealership confirmed what had happened. It was due to the electronic steering system failing. They fixed it and so far there has been no issues. This is not the first time I have heard of this happening and after researching, it appears it is more common than not. I believe, because of the risk of this vehicle unexpectedly and suddenly stopping on any roadway, a recall should occur. I could not imagine what would happen if one of my loved ones had been driving and a serious crash occurred.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Our 2019 F150 four-wheel-drive began jerking, hesitating, and gear slipped from 1st to 3rd to 3rd and fifth when we attempted to cross an intersection, our car would not shift at all, and we had to coast across the intersection and it finally caught and began moving forward. The vehicle also displayed a warning light in the dashboard, but it said our trailer was disconnected. We didn’t have a trailerWe brought the vehicle home called the dealership. The next day the vehicle was on a tow truck going to the dealers. I thought we were going to get hit my car’s not paying attention in front of us Behind Us and coming through the intersection. This was a very scary moment for me. I was afraid the power train was gonna lock up while we were driving 45 miles an hour home. The dealership said the train. The powertrain was shot and needed to be repaired but offered no assistance no help and I’m fighting with the dealership who offered us a lifetime warranty on our powertrain as long as we own the vehicle and will not honor the free powertrain replacement. This makes me believe that Ford has known all along that they have a very huge safety issue both my husband and myself have to drive on the interstate to get to work and we spend about an hour in traffic each way I would hate to see what would happen if the wheels did lock up or the gears would just strip out I believe more than just a powertrain could possibly be wrong with this vehicle as well

Transmission is acting up causing vehicle to jerk in traffic and makes a loud clunking sound in 3-4 and 8 gear. I’m afraid it’s gonna fail one day and cause an accident. I hear from other Ford F150 owners this is a widespread issue with these vehicles.

My 2019 FORD 150 ALWAYS HAS 5969200 MILES ON IT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR OR DOWNSHIFTS, CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS RECALL NUMBER 26V375000 BUT FORD TELLS ME IT DOESN'T COVER IT, AND THERE'S NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK FOR THIS PROBLEM, AT 59000 MILES, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THINK THE RECALL IS FOR SOME KIND OF MODULAR THAT CAUSES IT TO DOWNSHIFT. I JUST HAD IT IN THE SHOP TODAY.THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER.DID NOT HELP IT 711.00 LATER, IT'S STILL DOING IT. SO I HAVE A FORTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR TRUNK THAT I CAN'T DRIVE.PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS

Cam phaser rattle, infamous in many ford models. The 2019 eco boost is very known for this sound and issue, ford has offered temporary resolutions and assistance before but no permanent fix. This issue affects hundreds of thousand of ford models and is quoted at a $5,500 job by many dealers. Ford Owners are aware of the issue and so are ford dealers. It is no longer a temporary issue and is long overdue for a recall.

Ford has a known issue with the 2019 f150 eco boost cam phaser rattling. They replaced once and it failed again. They now refuse to repair the fix that should have corrected the initial cam phaser issue. They continue to use faulty parts.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My 2019 F-150 has only 25,000 miles. The dealership has confirmed transmission failure requiring a $9,000 replacement. A transmission is expected to last significantly longer than 25,000 miles. I have maintained the vehicle. This is an extraordinary premature failure on a critical part of the vehicle and it poses a massive safety liability

I bought this truck about 2 years ago at 130,000 miles ago. I knew the people I bought it from and it's been well maintained through its entire life. It started shifting really hard from 3rd gear to 6th gear and from 7th to 8th gear and took it to Ford to find out what was going on with it. I ended up getting the software update on it which only slightly helped the issue. It went back to the same hard shifting it was doing before about 5 months later but thought nothing of it since it seemed to be normal at this point. I've now learned this hard shift has been a problem for lots of people owning this truck not just me. Around the time the hard shifting came back, my rear differential went out requiring a $4,500 replacement. A little while after getting the rear differential replaced my transmission's hard shift got worse and took it to the shop to get a transmission service done on it. Now after getting the transmission service I had a transmission failure 2 days later (June 12, 2026). Now I'm getting quoted for a $8,500 fix on a truck I've already had to toss over $6,000 into over the span of 2 years. That's absolutely ridiculous especially with how many people seem to be having issues with this 10 speed transmission.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, ENGINE
Over the years the engine has felt like it was slipping or stalling. It appears to be increasing more. Sometimes it happens while cruise control is on. Today, the engine slipped for a prolonged time, more than usual, and then RPMs decreased. Warning sign of a “wrench” appeared on screen and said see manual. I was also unable to put vehicle in reverse. Slips more at lower speeds when accelerating.
