The transmission in the vehicle does not match the life of an average vehicle, especially a modern one. Even with good maintenance and driving habits a transmission beginning to fail around 120,000 miles is absurd. With a failing transmission you have no idea what will happen on the road, when the gears slip and you beginning to max out RPMs and it trying to figure it self out, this could easily cause an accident or a fire under the hood putting everyone around you at risk and the warning lamp didn’t appear until after the event . I have been quoted by the dealer for a total transmission replacement at around 12000 dollars which is well over half the value of the vehicle. I know that this has been a recurring issue with many F150s with this transmission and recall on this part needs to happen.

Had diagnostic done on truck to find out cam phasers need replacement. There was a recall on this issue but was never informed of. Now I’m looking at a $3528.40 repair which I was informed that this can be a regular repair once issue occurs. Reached out to Ford Corporation and was informed they couldn’t help us in any way.

Cam phasers - this is a known issue on the 3.5L ecoboost motors, yet Ford will not stand behind their product. They have paid for some people to have it repaired, and not others. This is about a $4,000 fix at the dealership, again for an issue they knew about years ago. They tried to claim changing the timing with the ECM module would stop it from happening, but as I discovered this weekend it didn't My vehicles ECM was swapped in 2021 and here I am a few years later with the same issue. Ford needs to be called out as they knowingly pushed out subpar engine products to make more money.

I purchased a 2019 F150 through Imperial Chevy in Mendon, MA in 2022. Technical Service Bulletin 19-2365 had been issued on 05 December 2019 and the dealer did not disclose or address the issue prior to sale. The truck has had regular oil changes every year and then check engine light came on - Code P0630 Camshaft Position Sensor B circuit. Ford service diagnosed scoring in the cylinders and verified that it has the excessive oil consumption issue. Solution is total engine replacement. Ford corporate has so far denied the claim and refused to offer financing for $12,000+ repair. Having approved many other claims for the same issue, they are now requiring Ford service to do a teardown before considering whether to pay for this known issue. This truck currently isn't be driven more than a few miles a day to and from work. We bought this truck to haul a full size two horse trailer which we haven't done as we are afraid to further tax the transmission and/or run the truck out of oil inadvertently since the oil gauge does not give warning that the oil is low - instead the truck throws a P0390 code. Ford must be held responsible for paying for repair. I can provide extensive paperwork if necessary. This is a known issue that Ford is refusing to remedy and any F150 experiencing this issue must be recalled immediately.

The transmission is slipping, skipping gears, and shifting hard. I have a quote for more than 8K dollars to replace it, even though the vehicle only has 65,000 miles. I live in a very small town, and I personally know more than 10 people who are having the same problem or have already had their transmission replaced.

Transmission has sporadic downshifts when traveling at normal posted speed limits also stalling of engine occurs while doing so. The transmission shifting into gears are very hard (Clunky sounds). This has been an issue every since I've owned the truck but happens more frequently within the last 2-3 months.

CAM PHASERS!!!! I have a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine which started having cam phaser issues. On cold starts, the engine makes a loud rattling noise for several seconds, and during idle a ticking noise is heard as well. At times the engine runs roughly and loses power briefly when i’m driving it. I’m very concerned because it happened to me while merging into a highway the truck cut power down and I almost caused an accident for not getting up to speed properly, additionally this could lead to the car shutting off on me, or other dangerous situations on the road, other than the long wear and tear that these bad cam phasers have on the engine. I’ve learned that this issue is known to Ford and has been happening for many years, and was addressed for other owners through Customer Satisfaction Programs like the 21N03 and its various supplements, to my knowledge the last one being held in 2022, but my truck is not covered at this time even though it’s a 2019 and has under 70,000 miles. I believe this issue should be investigated further as it is a safety risk to drivers, passengers, and all other vehicles on the road, and Ford should be held accountable, as this issue has been seen around their 3.5 Ecoboost engines and has yet to be fixed. It seems like it’s an ongoing profitable business for them to keep customers paying out of pocket for this $4,000+ job knowing that it’s an issue that many owners have, which is beyond ridiculous on their end. If it’s possible for you guys to take a look at any of their social media platforms, most of the comments on their posts, even if they have nothing to do with this engine, are complaints about not having a Recall for cam phasers on the 3.5 Ecoboost engine. Ford needs to be held accountable for this issue and give more importance to the safety of their customers instead of their parts/service profits!!!!!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Had oil change 7 times in one year and each time they indicate at the place I get oil changed that it is a quart or more low before 3,000 miles of usage after oil change. My car is suppose to take unleaded gas or higher and it knocks if I use unloaded. Now my catalytic converter is going out and it is not covered under warranty unless it is consequential to other problems. Well there appears to be engine problems that are not being addressed and I have a warranty and have taken it in. But they do not look any deeper into the problem except for computer scan and the warranty people won’t give me any answers on what they will do if there is engine problems.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I am experiencing a serious and potentially dangerous issue with the transmission in my 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat equipped with the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission. At highway speeds (65–75 mph), the truck will occasionally downshift abruptly into a much lower gear without any input from the driver. This causes the engine RPMs to spike and creates a sudden deceleration, which could easily lead to a rear-end collision or loss of control.
