POWER TRAIN
While driving, rpms went high, speed dramatically decreased suddenly as transmission suddenly and without warning began changing gear. as soon as possible, I pulled into a local convenience store where I had no transmission gears at all ( 1st thru reverse ). Looking under my vehicle, I noted a stream of transmission fluid running down the parking lot. The incident caused an extremely dangerous situation as I was traveling on a major, busy 4 lane highway. Vehicle was towed to a prominent ford dealer, where a “ blown out transmission cooler fitting “ was found. “Wrench” light came on dash as vehicle began to decelerate. Transmission had similar issues regarding loss of power and gear changing issues no fewer than 3 times after this.

ENGINE
The cam phasers on my 2019 F-150 recently starting making a rattling noise on cold starts. The dealership is quoting a replacement for $4500. I received Customer Satisfaction Program 21B10, 21N03, and 21N08 updates in the mail in 2021 from Ford to have the cam phasers replaced. The recall/replacement program was extended from 2022 to January 1, 2023. Unfortunately I've had my truck in for service multiple times and was told to not replace the cam phasers if there isn't an issue. Now there is an issue after the expiration and I'm being asked to pay out of pocket.

POWER TRAIN
Vehical shifts hard and surges forward during shifts. After sitting for a least 8 hours, the shifting will stick at 7th gear and then cycle between 1st and 7th until finally issuing a power train warning symbol (wrench). Other times it stays in 7th gear at a complete stop. This causes a slow pull out at intersections ( pulling out in 7th gear) until it slams into 3rd gear and surges forward.

POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
My wife was driving about 40 mph and the emergency collision alarm came on causing the vehicle to abruptly try to stop. San alarm went off in the dash indicating an imminent crash causing my wife to almost lose control of the vehicle. There was no vehicle in front of us and none in the opposing lane or behind us to trigger this response. My wife speculated maybe a bird flew across in front of us but I dodn,t see that. it was very alarming and almost caused her to lose control of the vehicle. I had this happen to me driving alone at about 40 mph. The only difference , there was a vehicle in front of m E but I was not close enough to trigger this safety alarm. The vehicle in front of me was not stopped and I was not close enough to trigger this response. I was at least4 or 5 car lengths away doing 40 mph. and they were traveling about the same speed. No rapid approach issue...
