TRANSMISSION MAKE A LOUD BANG WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. UPON ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 10TH TO 6TH GEAR IT IT SO VIOLENT IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE A 3-4 SECOND DELAY TO GO INTO REVERSE AND THEN MAKES A LOUD BANG WHEN REVERSE ENGAGES. SPERMATIC HARD SHIFTING. ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES.

DRIVING ON A ROAD AND THE TRUCK ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF, DISPLAYED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SHOWING "AUTO STOP/START, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE" ( I NEVER USE THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE) UPON RESEARCHING THIS ERROR ( THE DEALERSHIP WAS OF NO HELP ) IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE AT LEAST THE 2018 F150 MODEL. IT'S VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IS A HUGH SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 F150 AT LARRY H. MILLER FORD DRAPER. AND WITHIN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OF OWNING THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW GIVING ME PROBLEMS. JUST RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. AND SINCE I'VE HAD IT BACK THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING GEARS (2ND AND 5TH). STAYING IN GEAR TOO LONG. IT DOESN'T SHIFT DOWN PROPERLY, SO IT TAKES A LOT OF POWER TO MAKE A FULL STOP. AS ACCELERATE IT GOES FROM 9TH TO 8TH, THEN DOWN TO 7TH THEN BACK UP TO 9TH. AND I REALLY HAVE TO ACCELERATE IT TO EVEN SHIFT GEARS.

THE F150 WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH 5MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON ME WITHIN THE FIRST 16HRS OF DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT. A TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAD FAILED AND SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING 70MPH WHICH WAS NOT SAFE I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. THAT ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND THE PART REPLACED. A WEEK LATER AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK EVERYDAY FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK I STARTED EXPERIENCING VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60+ MPH. THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE SEAT YOU CAN FEEL THE CONSOLE AND EVERYTHING VIBRATE. THE TRANSMISSION CLICKS,BLACKS AND CLUNKS LIKE LIKE 15YR OLD VEHICLE. THE SHIFTING IS SLOPPY, JERKY AND OCCASIONALLY DELAYED AND WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES, YOU WILL GO TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS OR IS DELAYED. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS A POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE THESE THINGS KILL SOMEONE. MY IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE 3RD FORD DEALER THIS MONDAY 12-23-2019 THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS A STEERING DAMPER CAUSING IT. IT IS NOT A DAMPER CAUSING THESE VIBRATIONS AND SOUNDS I HAVE A VERY EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND OF MECHANICS AND I KNOW A JUNK TRANSMISSION. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. THESE ARE LEMONS AND SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK FROM FORD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
ON DEC 9 WHILE TAKING OFF FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT DRIVING AT AROUND 5MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DID NOT ACCELERATE.., THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, BRAKES WARNING LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AS I DID NOT EXPECT MY TRUCK TO SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY DRIVE AT 5MPH. DROVE TO THE DEALER AT 5 MPH AND THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON DEC 10 IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. SUDDENLY THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND AGAIN ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. TODAY FOR THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ON EACH OCCASION THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY DID REMOVE CODES NOT PERTAINING TO THE SYMPTOMS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON TUESDAY 11/5/19, WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 45 MPH WHEN I DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CITY STREET. I HAD ACCELERATED BACK UP TO AROUND 30 MPH WHEN I CROSS OVER A RELATIVELY SMOOTH RAILROAD CROSSING AT A SLIGHT LEFT HAND TURN. IMMEDIATELY THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE CONSOLE START DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ALERTS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING. WHILE THE ENGINE DID NOT CUT OFF, THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE POWERTRAIN AND EVENTUALLY WE ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FIRE ALERTS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE MESSAGES STILL FIRED SO I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ALERT MESSAGES HAD CEASED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE HOUSE (APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES) AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO ISSUE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN NEXT DAY (26 MILES) WITH NO ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, OUR FORD PASS APP HAD CAPTURED ALL THE ALERTS AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. WE PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN LEFT ONTO A SIDE ROAD. WE HIT A SMALL HUMP WHERE THE SIDE ROAD MEETS THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN THE ALERTS STARTING FIRING AND THE TRUCK LOST PROPULSION. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF AND THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. WE PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WOULD LIKE FOR FORD TO ASSESS THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE BEYOND THE DEALERSHIP'S CAPABILITIES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE SEVERAL OF THE ALERTS REPRESENTED LOSS OF SAFETY FUNCTIONS INCLUDING BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERTRAIN FAILURE, AND OTHERS WE FEEL THIS ISSUE REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. SEVERAL OF THE F150 FORUMS HAVE SHOWN OTHER USERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
