2017 FORD F-150 Complaints

Hard downshift caused my truck to slow suddenly and became very hesitant where the vehicle behind me had to slam on their brakes. I then pulled over when it was safe, turned the truck off and then attempted to turn back on with no success due to the shift indicator no longer lighting up. This matches up with the current recall for this particular vehicle.

The BCM keeps failing on my truck when it has already been replaced. The lights won’t stop flashing unless the battery is unplugged.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle's speed independently accelerated. In addition, the power train failure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately unknown.

The front driver door lock/latch actuator is failing. The driver door does not lock or unlock using the key fob or the interior power lock button. The only way to lock or unlock the door is manually with the key or by pushing/pulling the lock from inside the vehicle. This issue started shortly after we had a historic/unusual cold freeze in Florida. The vehicle is kept outside, so it was exposed to the freezing temperatures. This creates a safety and security concern because the driver door power lock system does not work properly and may prevent the door from locking or unlocking normally when needed. The issue has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent repair shop. No warning lights or messages appeared before the failure. The component is still installed on the vehicle and available for inspection upon request.

17 Ford F150 10 R 80 transmission has been a problem since the day I purchased the vehicle in 2022. Ford dealerships across the country have known this has been an issue and our neglecting to recall the transmission. Ford continues to deny any problems with the transmission after a revised CDF drum in 2025 and 2026, but the problem still occurs.

About 6 months ago, while driving my kids to school, the transmission aggressively downshifted causing the truck to skid momentarily. This occurred on the highway so the transmission was most likely in 6th gear. The event was so abrupt, it felt like it either switched into Park or 1st gear and felt like we hit something. A wrench icon appeared and the fan was abnormally loud so I pulled over and turned the truck off to see if there was any damage which there wasn't any. The truck wouldn't start so we were stuck on the side of a busy highway during morning rush hour traffic. When it finally started about 2 1/5 hours later, I hooked up a code reader which indicated codes P0706 and P0707. Ever since, this condition occurs after the truck's been driving for about 5-10 mins without exception. The truck seems to stay in the current gear that was engaged at the time that the wrench icon appears. So if the truck is a stop and the issue occurs, it'll be stuck in 1st and run at high rpm. If it happens when the gear is in 5th or 6th and you then come to a stop, it makes pulling out in traffic dangerous due to the lag while getting the truck up to speed. I've been out of work and couldn't spare the $1200 repair cost. I've had to avoid highways and speeds above 30 mph in fear of crashing or damaging the transmission. Even at low speeds, transmissions shifts are hard and abrupt so I'm concerned that there's transmission damage. There's a burning belt smell in the cabin so I'm also concerned that's there's advanced belt wear damage due to the high fan condition caused by this. I have to leave the truck running if I have to go anywhere since it won't restart for approx 2 1/2 hours after I turn the truck off. Other symptoms noticed while driving: the gear indicator below the speedometer glitches. It'll change to other gears on the indicator while not actually changing physical gears. The gear indicators will disappear then reappear randomly.
