2020 FORD F-150 Complaints

I have a problem with the door sensor, when temperature drops below 60 the system shows the door is open and doesn't let me lock any door even after driving, keeping the lights inside and outside the vehicle to stay on, this lead in few times to the alarm goes off during the night, the problem is that I have 2 kids they always use their seat belts but my little one sometimes put the hand on the door handle so to prevent any accidents I have to use to lock mechanism so the door can only be open from outside, but this is frustrating because I have to disconnect the battery in order to preserve power , seems this is not an isolated incident many people have the same issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal, with the “Service Engine" warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

On my 2020 Ford F150, my wife was locked in the car because we could not get the passengers door to unlock. She just had surgery on her hand, and was not able to use her hand to open the door, and I could NOT get the door to unlock! I was trying all the unlock button, but it would not unlock. The only way I could get the door open was to put down the window, and reach in and unlock the door! What if a person needed to get the open open immedially!! This is not a good situation and is a majot safty matter that needs to be fixed by FORD! I have seen this is a common problem with many F150 owners as well. Ford's recall does not include my truck. For a 4 year old truck, this is just not right!

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked on several occasions, the front passenger’s side door failed to open as intended. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door latch actuator had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,560.

I took my truck, a 2020 Ford F150 (manufactured 11/19) to the Ford dealership to fix my AC (apparently a failed compressor) and to look at what could be causing a loud screeching noise from underneath the vehicle which began randomly happening a few months back. The truck had also started to lag when changing gears accompanied by a loud clunking sound. This was especially a concern when merging into traffic since the speed wasn't picking up normally. The dealership said I need a new transmission $8000 and a new AC compressor $1800. FOR A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK!!!!??? I follow all upkeep such as oil changes and tire rotations.

When the truck is trying to change gears, there would be a long hesitation before it can move up to the next gear while accelerating. The truck would sometimes lose power and speed while trying to find the gear. It would sometimes jump from gear 1 all the way gear 10 and then randomly bounce between the other gears before actually settling. At the moment it does find the right gear, the truck would launch forward violently. I took it to a ford dealership to be diagnosed, where I was told a new transmission is needed. I reached out to the manufacture regarding the issue and was told that there is no assistance for the issue. The quoted cost for the new transmission is $8400.00. I did some research and found that a lot of recent model Ford trucks a having the same problem with the transmission. Most report I read encountered the problem before 100000 miles. The truck is currently at the Ford dealer waiting to repaired. I find this is unfair to consumers to deal with an issue of this expense on what I consider to be a new truck.

My 2020 F150 transmission is having serious issues related to accelerating and decelerating, and rough shifting (causing jerking forward and backwards) which are now a major safety concern. The transmission gets stuck in gear, sometimes shifts from 4th to 1st gear, gets stuck in 7th gear, or will not shift out of 1st gear. Earlier this week with my wife driving the vehicle (with my children in it), it would not accelerate due to this issue and getting on the highway, she had to quickly pull over narrowly being missed by a cargo truck since the vehicle would not accelerate. I took over driving the vehicle, and I've observed the gear changing issues noted above and also had to pull off the road to avoid stalling the vehicle in the middle of a busy road. I've addressed these issues with Ford corporate, and their official position is that I have to have the issues diagnosed with a Ford dealer, which is telling me diagnosis is 8-12 weeks out. I don't know what else to do, but I am very concerned about the safety issues this is presenting

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to first gear and the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and turned off the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The power train warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the powertrain control module, resulting in damages to the transmission. The contact was informed that that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 81,000.

Right door lock actuator/latch not able to lock or unlock. Similar to current recall for f150 raptors same generation model but 1-4 years older.

Cruise control was set at approx. 62 mph driving on the Interstate. An exit was taken and coming down the off ramp the truck would not slow down. It seems the brakes did not disconnect the cruise control. Brakes were both pumped and firmly depressed. No response when the gear shift was placed in a lower gear. The electronic system did not shut off after the ignition was placed in the off position. An inspection is warranted, expected and welcome. This was a Sudden Unintentional Acceleration (SUA) incident/accident!!! Numerous other vehicles were placed in danger while crossing a major intersection. Two fire trucks responding to an emergency were passed at 50 miles an hour. Many other occupied vehicles and individuals at an apartment complex were in danger of being killed or injured. As of right now the vehicle has not been inspected by the insurance claims adjuster, so right now it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center (but is welcomed to be done). The vehicle or components have not yet be inspected by the manufacture, police or insurance representative (but I would be willing to allow it). There was no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It was totally unexpected and a complete surprise.
