I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION ON MY 2018 F-150 SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2018 HAVING JERKY, HARSH SHIFTS WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALSO CLUNKY SHIFTS AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 4TH AND 5TH AND 5TH AND 6TH GEARS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MANY OTHER FORD CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE F-150 TRUCKS WITH THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND CORRECT THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED.

SEATS
I HAVE A BROKEN DRIVER SIDE BUCKET SEAT ON MY 2018 FORD F-150 XLT WITH CONSOLE I PAID EXTRA FOR THIS SEAT (HIGHER PRICED OPTION) WHEN I PURCHASED NEW 2 YEARS AGO . I CALLED FORD DEALER I PURCHASED FROM THEY ADVISED TO HAVE IT FIXED AT LOCAL DEALER DUE TO 200 MILE DRIVE TO THEM. I TOOK TO ALTON BLAKELY FORD SALES AND SERVICE SOMERSET KY FOR REPAIR AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL WEAR NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. THE SEAT IS NOT WORN IT LOOKS NEW! THE TRUCK LOOKS AND RUNS PERFECT, THE SEAT FRAME IS PROBLEM! I WEIGH 235LBS AND 6 FOOT? THE SEAT IS BROKEN TO APPOINT THAT I DON'T TRUST WEARING SHOULDER SEAT BELT DUE TO WHEN SEAT FALLS BACK I CAN'T PULL MYSELF UP TO STEER. THE PROBLEM CAN BE FELT 1 TO 70 MPH ROAD OR PARKING LOT. RANDOM SEAT FAILURE WHILE IN OPERATION AND IF SEAT FAILS AND DRIVER HITS BRAKES THE SEAT BELT LOCKS YOU DOWN. I'VE REPAIRED IT BUT THE ONES WE MEET ON ROAD COULD FAIL ANYTIME! FORD STATES NO RECALL ON THIS? IT IS LISTED ON THIS GOVERNMENT WEBSITE AS A RECALL? I'VE PURCHASED SEVEN NEW FORDS SINCE 1980= NEVER AGAIN!

ENGINE
2018 FORD F150 VIN [XXX] THIS HAS THE ECO-BOOST V6 3.5L ENGINE IN IT. LAST OCTOBER 2019 THE ENGINE STARTED RATTLING AT STARTUP. I BROUGHT THIS TO DEALERSHIP (FX CAPRARA FORD PULASKI, NY) AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAM PHASERS & TENSIONERS WERE BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACING. THIS WOULD BE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. IT TOOK 2 1/2 MONTHS FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN ON FEB 11TH FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS TO COMPLETE. ON FEB 17TH ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP 4 OF THE PARTS WERE MIS-LABELED AND HAD TO BE ORDERED AGAIN. AS OF TODAY FEB 25 I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY TRUCK BACK. WAS TOLD PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST NEXT 3 WEEKS AS FORD IS HAVING A PROBLEM SOURCING THE PARTS. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP WITH ENGINE DIS-ASSEMBLED. AFTER A SEARCH OF INTERNET FOUND F150 FORUM WHICH HAS STORIES OF SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVING SAME ENGINE RATTLE REQUIRING CAM PHASERS & TENSIONERS TO BE REPLACED AND PARTS EITHER NOT AVAILABLE OR TAKES MONTHS TO GET. FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AS LONG AS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT AFTER. THEY ARE REFUSING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL ENGINE AND REPLACE IT TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DOORS DO NOT LATCH WHEN COLD OUTSIDE. WHEN STATIONARY, THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS AS WELL AS THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR HAS THIS ISSUE WHERE THE DOOR WILL OPEN, BUT WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED. SOMETIMES I CAN LOCK THE DOORS WITH THEM OPEN TO GET THEM TO LATCH, BUT THEN WHEN I GO TO OPEN THE DOOR AGAIN, IT WILL STAY LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A CHILD IN THE BACK AND YOU CAN'T ACCESS THEM THROUGH THE DOOR YOU PUT THEM IN THROUGH.
