2019 FORD F-150 Complaints

Just bought this truck 3 weeks ago, and was very excited. Now I have noticed transmission noises during the drop in RPM's during the upshift from 3-5, 3-4, 5-6, and 9-10. Sent it in for diagnostics and they are certain it is the clutch drum bushing failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to turn on. The contact opened the hood and noticed smoke emitting from the front. An abnormal burnt wire odor was emitting from the wires. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the wire harness was burnt and damaged and a fire risk. The vehicle was not repaired due to cost. However, the dealer disconnected the wire harness from the battery due to safety reasons. The contact stated that the failure occurred overnight. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

this issue has to do with the transmission, not shifting into gear or between gears and/or lurching when shifting. this problem has gotten progressively worse over time and requires that I keep extra distance when in heavy traffic because the lurching or the shifting that doesn’t occur requires that I go at a slower speed at times.

I was getting on the highway in 7th gear and the truck shifted to 1st gear. The rear end locked up and my vehicle skidded out of control. Luckily there was no one around and I did not contact another vehicle or a road barrier.

Cam Phasers. Ford refuses to repair cam phasers despite having a recall previously and never fixed by previous owner. Ford quoted the repair at $8k. Previously recall stated safety concerns over faulty manufacturing of cam phasers, having plastic parts and exposed parts rather than metal and enclosed parts like in they install during the repair. While I understand the repair was a voluntary recall, it's still a safety concern as engine has rough idle, rough shift changes, sometimes will jolt forward while idling and possible engine shut off due to damage to camshaft caused by the failing cam Phasers. This should be an NHTSA ordered recall.

Driving on the freeway, my transmission made a loud bang jerked the truck and then completely failed. I was traveling a consistent speed around 75 MPH it was in 10th gear just starting on an incline to an overpass. The jerk caused me to almost pull out of my lane, the failure happening on an incline made the vehicle slow considerably, with no shoulder to pull over on it had enough momentum to make it over the high point in the over pass and I coasted to the side of the freeway as soon as I could. Transmission fluid was pouring out of vent tube covering the underside of the truck and getting all over the road. I also ride motorcycles and understand how bad of a situation that can be for anyone riding behind me. Towed to aamco who inspected and diagnosed as the CDF drum failed and had to have the entire transmission rebuilt. No warning light and no indication that it was having any problems before the failure. My daily commute is around 40 miles one way, I was coming home from work, and I was approximately 8 miles from my home. I doubt aamco has the transmission still and the incident happened about 2 months ago.

There is a known issue with the Ford 10 speed manual transmissions they put in their trucks. They have issued a recall for some but I don't believe it covers all the vehicles affected. I own a 2019 Ford F150 3.5 ECOBOOST with the 10 speed automatic transmission. It has ~104,000 miles and now needs a transmission. Ford Motor Company needs to stand by their product and help those affected by these faulty transmissions.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated and lost automotive power. The contact stated that seconds later, the vehicle started operating as intended. An independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.

This is related to the incident report number XXX I filed previously. Before, between, and after that incident and this one reported today. The vehicle performs mostly normal, the severe issues are completely random and unpredictable. On 4/28/26 I started my truck and left to take my daughter to her [XXX] pediatrician appointment. I left my neighborhood and turned left into traffic. I didn’t speed up much, as the red light on the street stopped me about 100 yards down the road. Then, when green light hit I attempted to accelerate. The vehicle appeared to be stuck in 6th gear and would only rev up the RPMs to about 4000 and barely move forward. I managed to drive about 50ft and get the vehicle off onto the grass shoulder infront of someone’s house. I shifted the vehicle from park to drive and turned it on and off multiple times. This did not resolve the issue and I eventually put the truck in 4x4 in an attempt to make more power and drive forward. This entire time I’m on the shoulder of morning 55mph traffic, hazard lights on, with my infant in the back seat. I managed to get the vehicle to shift into 2nd gear and drive up the road. Once it came up to operating temperature it would shift into higher gears and we made it to the pediatrician. The truck stalled out similarly at two other stopped intersections and on the parking deck before we arrived at our destination. I called my wife and had her drive our daughter home after the appointment. I drove the truck home, on the same route, and it acted as if nothing was wrong. It shifted hard between 1-3rd but otherwise performed well enough. I have scheduled a transmission rebuild with a non-Ford service center for 5/4/26. It is extremely concerning that these issues are happening to myself and others with the 10R80 10-speed and Ford isn’t being forced to recall these vehicles. My truck is a 2019 with 86000 miles now.
