POWER TRAIN
TRUCK HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR LAST 800 MILES. TRUCK NOW HAS 12700. SHIFTS HARD AND SLIPS ESPECIALLY 3-4-5 GEARS. 5TH GEAR THE WORST ON SLIPPING, ALMOST AS IF I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, THEN IT FINDS THE GEAR AND BUCKS. DEFINITELY A HAZARD TO DRIVE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO FORD 3 TIMES, THE FIRST TIME THEY APPLIED A TSB, SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CALLED FORD AND SENT IT IN FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY SAID THEY AGREE TRANSMISSION NEEDS WORK BUT REFUSE TO WORK ON IT AS THE FIRST DEALERSHIP ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET PAID FOR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW, FROM TEST DRIVE THRU 2 YEARS OF DRIVING 40,000 MILES I HAVE ALWAYS TURNED OFF START STOP AT EACH START UP. WHEN I FORGET TO TURN OFF IT HAS PREFORMED AS DESIGNED UNTIL LAST WEEK. NOW WHEN START/STOP IS ON AND I COME TO STOP AT RED LIGHT THAT CHANGES GREEN AS SOON AS I STOP THE VEHICLE REQUIRES ME TO GO TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE. THE SYSTEM WORKS FINE IF RED LIGHT IS OVER 5/10 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED ON US27 4 LANE AT STOP LIGHT SOMERSET, KY 7/20/2020. THE TRUCK HAS JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY 4,000 MILES FORD SERVICE REFUSED TO DELETE THE START STOP FEATURE. THIS IS A UNSAFE FEATURE THAT NOW HAS BECOME A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE REFUSAL TO DELETE AFFIRMS MY SUSPICION THIS IS A BUILT IN MONEY MAKER FOR OUT OF WARRANTY FORD JUNK.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE BACK GLASS ON MY 2018 F-150 EXPLODED OUTWARDS INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK WHEN MY WIFE SHUT THE REAR RIGHT DOOR. THE REAR GLASS HAD NO DAMAGE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, BY ME, IN 2018. THE GLASS WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY 04 JULY, 2020. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SOME GLASS RAINED DOWN ONTO MY INFANT SON'S CAR SEAT BASE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT MY WIFE DECIDED TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE TRUCK BEFORE WE PUT MY SONS CAR SEAT IN THERE. THE GLASS CUT MY WIFE'S HAND A LITTLE BIT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION.
