POWER TRAIN
Went to Grand Prairie Ford in Grand Prairie Texas. The recall was for the sudden downshift to first from any speed. Recall # 24S37 for the 6R80 transmission. Service manager said to not get the recall done as it may have a negative impact on my transmission that would cause....a sudden downshift to first gear. They also did not like the fact that I got upset with them for suggesting not to get the recall done. That would put me in a position of liability in the event of an accident. They then refused to do the recall and said if I did not leave my truck would be towed. They claimed I was too upset ... imagine. After they finally agreed to do the recall they stated they were not responsible for pretty much anything that happened after they did the recall. Grand Prairie Ford called me about three hours later and said they were having trouble with my computer. This recall campaign has just started and with over 550,000 affected trucks they should be ready for more upset customers and lawsuits. Poor business practices that border on criminal acts.

My truck is doing exactly what the recall on all the others. Check engine light on for input shaft speed sensor. Speed odometer quit working then engine light came on for speed sensor. Now when you drive on highway it will be fine then all of a sudden throw a wrench light and truck goes into limp mode and barely moves. You stop turn it off it resets but still isn’t right it doesn’t seem to shift at proper times seems to be shifting to often.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Not 5 minutes ago I reported an issue to NHTSA regarding a 2024 Ford F-150 V6 Raptor. Just as I was submitting the form, I got an alert that remote features are disabled to preserve battery. The error texted to my phone states: “Don't worry though, nothing is wrong. This happens automatically when you haven't started your vehicle for a period of time.” I am not understanding why an error related to not driving recently would appear, I just drove about 70 miles round trip and have been home less than 30 minutes.

SERVICE BRAKES
Twice when opening the drivers door, my 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor V6 has chimed and then displayed “Brake System Failure”. Starting the truck, shutting off the motor and locking/unlocking the drivers door appears to clear the message. The local Ford dealership updated the software and believed it corrected the issue. Today, I drove approximately 30 miles, shut off the engine, locked the door and had lunch. When entering the truck again, I got an alert chime and the dashboard had an error reading “Parking Brake Failure”.

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.
