* The transmission regularly misses shifts through the lower gears when accelerating, particularly when the transmission is not yet up to operating temperature. It's as if the transmission goes into neutral, the engine races (tach spools up to 3500/4000 rpm), and then the transmission will slam into the next gear. * I cannot depend on the truck to merge predictably with traffic, and lurching and breaking traction ("burnouts", chirping tires) are distracting at the least, and potentially dangerous and damaging to other driveline components. * The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent transmission shop through a test drive, and by the local Ford dealership's technician / service department. Service records are available. * Apart from the above it has not been inspected by other agencies. * There are no other indications either through the vehicle on-board systems or DTCs visible on independent or dealer scanners. There was an indication when I bought the vehicle due to a needed recall / software update. I complied with the update at the dealer and the fault indication cleared itself. I do not know if there is any relation to the current problem. Note that this symptom appears virtually every time the truck is driven, so "date the incident occurred" is "various", although listed as today.

I have a 2019 Ford F150 with a 10R80 transmission. It has been shuddering and has erratic shifting. Now it is at a dealership and they want $9000 to repair a known problem. It appears that Ford and the NHTSA are aware of this problem with these transmissions. The problem has been going on since Ford went to these transmissions. When will the Federal Government step in and make Ford have a safety recall. Going from 8th Gear to 2nd gear is like hitting a concrete wall. Ford has several Bulletins out for repairing these transmissions but refuse to inform the consumer. So if this problem happens outside of the warranty Ford wants to get paid. Please help the American consumer and hold Ford accountable for the defective product.

STEERING
Sudden total loss of power steering on 2019 Ford F-150 XL Regular Cab 2WD, 3.3L V6 (VIN [XXX] , 170,000 miles). Purchased used in 2024 with clean Carfax — no accidents, no damage, no odometer issues. Sarasota Ford diagnosed multiple internal lost communication codes and failed pinpoint test — requires EPAS rack replacement ($2,700). Ford denied goodwill case XXX (escalated to supervisor Shaniqua) — based solely on mileage, despite: • TSB 19-2306 • SSM 51226 • 1,200+ NHTSA complaints for 2015–2019 F-150 EPAS • Lincoln v. Ford lawsuit (Case 1:19-cv-02741) covering 2019 models Rep Haley stated “safety is not a deciding factor”. High crash risk — nearly lost control in traffic. Clean Carfax proves no abuse — mileage must not override a known safety defect. Sincerely [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ENGINE
This 5.0L Coyote engine has been very problematic. Since 2020, it has made a chatter at low speeds which sounds like a motor dieseling. After numerous visits and complaints to Ford with trying to address the noise, the service manager said it was due to running 87 octane instead of 91+. This vehicle does not mandate premium fuel by the manufacturer but infact the chatter or dieseling goes away when using the premium grade fuel. Consumers should be made aware of this prior to buying a vehicle. Furthermore, the dealership could not tell me if this chattering has caused damage to the engine which could result in shorter life on the engine. This problem exists to this day if not using premium fuel.

ENGINE
This 5.0L Coyote engine burns or consumes oil more than the manufacturer stated allowance. It consumes 3 quarts or more between oil changes (3500 mile intervals). Every 500 miles, I check the oil and add approximately 1/2 quart. This is a known issue by Ford and Ford owners. It should be a recall!

ENGINE
Starting in December of 2023 we started to get a engine light that kept coming on and off about every other week. We took the truck to the dealership for a diagnosis and Ford had told us it was an issue with the catalytic convertors throwing an error code. After the third trip into the dealership and a resetting of the code as per Ford they replaced the driver side catalytic convertor. After a few months of no issues the engine light started coming off and on again. This time the driver side was throwing the code this time. We took the truck into Ford and they reset the light. On the second time it came on after going to the dealership we contacted Ford again about the issue and they stated that a computer update was available for our truck and it would recalibrate the truck computer to help with it throwing the code because it was set at a sensitive setting and it was happening nationwide. We had stated to the dealership that Ford had said on the second attempt to fix the problem if it still persisted that they would replace the catalytic convertor. Since then they had registered the incident a third time and still no fix. Since the third visit to a dealership we have had our engine light come on and off multiple times with no help from Ford in fixing the problem and our concern is that our county is starting emissions checks for 2026 and our truck will require an expensive fix to pass emissions at our cost and no help from Ford. We understand that the catalytic convertors are part of the emissions which come with an 80,000 mile federal warranty coverage but are being pushed around with no help insight from Ford. So come December of this year it will be 2yrs since we started having issues with the exhaust system. With the last light coming back on 10/15/25 and it just turn back off 10/28/25. I had tried to upload the pictures showing how many times our light has gone off and on the last 2yrs but it had told us multiple times your site was having an error.

The rear camera view displays the warning "the camera is not available" on the screen. A blurry, distorted flickering image is displayed on the screen. This is the same thing I see with my 2016 Ford Fusion, whose camera has been recalled. I'm not sure if this is an intermittent issue or not, but yesterday it was a persistent issue.

The rear backup camera works off and on, as demonstrated by the attached pictures. It has been working in this manner for the past couple of years. It will work properly for long periods of time then go for days in the distorted mannger. The pictures taken were over a one day period. The worst part is that it acts up in the most inappropriate times. There is no specific reason for the camera to not work. No wiring is loose and the system has all appropriate updates. I suspect it falls along the same lines as all of the other recalls foe these cameras. I asked the dealership, which performs all maintenance on my vehicle, to check it out under the recall but they refuse and offer to charge me for repairs, which is why I am filing this notice.
