ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A LEFT OVER 2019 IN JUNE 2020. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT FROM A SERVICE ADVISOR. THE VEHICLE'S POWERTRAIN IS JERKY WHEN SLOWING DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE A KICK WHEN IS GOES FROM GEAR TO GEAR UP OR DOWN SHIFTING. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD BANG UPON START UP. I VIDEO TAPED IT, THE DRIVE SHAFT TWIST UPON START UP. SEEMS UNSAFE IF THE DRIVE PIN IS THE ONLY THING HOLD A 7000 LBS VEHICLE OR IF YOU START IN NEUTRAL. OVERALL THE PCM NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION STRATEGY APPLIED. VERY POOR ON FORD'S BEHALF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED DURING SUMMER 2020 MONTHS THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING AT STOP WOULD VIBRATE AND TACHOMETER WOULD BOUNCE. RECENTLY DURING JULY TO SEPTEMBER THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPED WOULD IDLE ROUGH THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY HAVING TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK! THE LAST TIME IT DID IT I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE JULY. I TOOK IT TO TWO FORD DEALERS AND NEITHER COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT.

WHILE THE IMPACT CAUSED HEAD AND HIP INJURY; THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOTALED FROM THE IMPACT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUCK WAS APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OLD WITH 13,500 MILES AND WHEN I WOULD START THE TRUCK, WITH THE A/C ON, YOU WOULD GET A STRONG SMELL OF VINEGAR COMING FROM THE VENTS. THE SMELL WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS. WHILE CLEANING THE TRUCK I REALIZED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR MAT WAS WET AS WELL. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY ORIGINALLY WORKED ON THE A/C AND AFTER SEVERAL VISITS THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE CARPET OF THE TRUCK DUE TO THE DAMPNESS. SAME ISSUES CONTINUED AND I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND A LEAKY DOOR SEAL, WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN THE DAMPNESS ON THE FLOOR, BUT NOT THE SMELL FROM THE VENTS. DEALERSHIP RETURNED THE CAR, WITH THE INTAKE NOT PUT TOGETHER CORRECTLY (PICTURES ATTACHED), AND 48 HOURS LATER THE FLOOR WAS WET AGAIN AND THE SMELL WAS STILL THERE WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK. ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED AT THIS TIME TIME.

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND ABOVE ABOUT 40 MPH, A MESSAGE AND ALARM GO OFF THAT SAYS "KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL". THIS OCCURS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY STRAIGHT AWAY AND BECOMES VERY ANNOYING. IT ALSO DISTRACTS ME WHEN I SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. I'VE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THIS AND ON THE LAST VISIT THEY CALLED FORD TECHNICAL SUPPORT. THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THAT THEY WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I FEEL ITS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER NEEDLESSLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DECELERATING DOWN A HILL. I WAS STILL DOING ABOUT 20 MPH WHILE BRAKING AND I RECEIVED AN ERROR SAYING 'AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE' AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAD TO COAST MYSELF TO SOMEWHERE AS CLOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE. THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED ON A LOCAL RD AND NOT A HIGHWAY. I PROCEEDED TO SHIFT TO P AND RESTART THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES UNTIL IT ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT TO DRIVE AND IT ACTUALLY ENGAGE SO I COULD CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WHEN I APPROACHED A STOPLIGHT, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND STALL. AS SOON AS I PLACED THE ENGINE IN PARK, THE RPMS INCREASED AND THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING TO STALL. IT STILL HAD SOME SHAKING GOING ON. AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, I STAYED IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET HOME. DURING THIS TIME I WAS USING NO OTHER FEATURES IN THE TRUCK. NOTHING WAS CHARGING, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS OFF, THE LIGHTS WERE OFF, AND THE RADIO WAS OFF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT. I CALLED SEVERAL OTHER FORD DEALERSHIPS IN THE NEARBY AREA, AND THEY WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT CITING EITHER COVID REASONS OR NO TECHNICIANS ON HAND.

POWER TRAIN
FROM 4TH TO 10TH GEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS HUNTING / SURGING. THIS IS WORSE IN A DOWNSHIFT FROM 10TH TO 9TH AND FROM 9TH TO 8TH. IT IS EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION ACTING DIFFERENT TO MY DRIVING STYLE BECAUSE IT IS ADAPTED TO HOW MY WIFE DRIVES. THAT'S A TERRIBLE EXCUSE FOR ALL FORD EMPLOYEES TO USE BECAUSE FORD HASN'T GIVEN THEM A CLEAR ANSWER. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE RECTIFIED. THIS IS THE DREAM TRUCK MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. WE DECIDED TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE THAN WE SHOULD HAVE TO GET WHAT WE WANTED AND WE HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY LET DOWN. PLEASE FIX THIS, FORD. DO THE RIGHT THING.

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT NEW IN JUNE 2019 THE FOLLOWING MONTH THE TRANSMISSION UPSHIFTS DOWNSHIFTS EXTREMELY HARSH FROM GEARS 3,4,5,6 TRANSMISSION ALSO OVER REVS LIKE CLUTCH IS HELD IN WHEN UPSHIFTING. VEHICLE WILL DROP DOWN 5 GEARS FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN COMING TO STOPS IT SOMETIMES LURCHES FORWARD FAST ALMOST REAR ENDING CARS MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED, SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES, TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED AND STILL TO THIS DAY PROBLEM GETTING WORSE. MY FORD SHOP PUT A FLIGHT RECORDER IN AND VERIFIED ALL THE ISSUES. WAITING FOR FORD ENGINEERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. 2 OTHER ISSUES THAT STARTED ALMOST DAY ONE WAS REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKED, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SOLENOIDS REPLACED ALONG WITH 4X4 WHEEL HUBS. MY FORD MECHANICS ARE GREAT BUT IT'S FORD MOCO THAT IS THE ISSUE. MY FORD REPAIR SHOP IS WAITING FOR THEM TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I DON'T HALL OR TOW ANYTHING IN THIS TRUCK. IT'S USED LIKE A CAR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED ON. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO AUTOMATICALLY SLOW AS I APPROACHED A VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. AS I CHANGED LANES TO PASS, THE SYSTEM SAW THERE WAS NOTHING AHEAD OF ME, THEN DOWNSHIFTED FROM 10TH GEAR TO 5TH GEAR WITH A VERY LOUD "KLUNK". SINCE I HAD THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED TO OVERRIDE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AS I CHANGED LANES, THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY AND ABRUPTLY ACCELERATED. I WAS THROWN BACK IN MY SEAT AND MOMENTARILY LOST FULL CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I ESTIMATE I WAS GOING 65-70 MPH AND THE DOWNSHIFT TO 5TH GEAR AND QUICK ACCELERATION WAS EXTREMELY UNNERVING. I CATEGORIZE THIS COMPLAINT AS A POWERTRAIN ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS OVERRIDING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE AT THE TIME AND THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE POWER TOGETHER. THE DATE I PROVIDED IS AN ESTIMATED DATE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FORD ISSUED A DAY RUNNING LIGHT (DRL) RECALL ON SOME 2019/2020 F 150 VEHICLES WHERE SOME VEHICLES HAD DRLS THAT WOULD REMAIN DAYTIME BRIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. AFTER FORD'S FIX IS APPLIED, ALL TRUCK LIGHTS, EXCEPT HEADLIGHTS (SIDE MARKER, TAG LIGHTS, FRONT LIGHTS, TRAILER LIGHTS) ARE ON AT ALL TIMES UNLESS THE LIGHT SWITCH IS MANUALLY TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. IN THE OFF POSITION, THE DRLS ARE OFF TOO. SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THE UNNECESSARY LIGHTING, IT PUTS THE DRIVER INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE DRLS ARE OFF. STATES REQUIRE DRLS TO BE ON ESPECIALLY DURING POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. FORD HAS MANAGED TO TOTALLY SCREW UP EXTERIOR LIGHTING BY CREATING A FIX THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY TURNED ON ALL LIGHTS ALL THE TIME. IN RESPONSE TO ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM, FORD STATES THAT EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL BE ON WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCH IS IN ANY POSITION EXCEPT OFF. SO THEY KNOW THE FIX THEY PROVIDED DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION THAT MAKES EXTERIOR LIGHTING OPERATE NORMALLY. THAT IS, DRLS ARE ON DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, WITHOUT ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING BEING ON. BESIDES THE SAFETY FACTOR, OVERALL LIGHT FAILURES WILL INCREASE WITH TIME SINCE THERE ON FULL TIME. *TR
