    Lara IPMA Computer Failure. Alert notice appeared on my truck display alon with an audible alarm indicating Front Camera Malfunction, Pre Collision Assist was Not Available. I contacted my Ford dealer(Columbia TN Ford). To schedule repairs. They had to replace the IPMA Computer to fix the system. The cost of repairs ($2107.91) was not covered by the Vehicle Warranty because of date. The truck has only 31606 miles on it. They service tech indicated the they have replaced many of these computers. I want to know how many of these SAFETY items must be replaced before the NHTSA takes action to effect a recall?

    10R80 Transmission issues with Ford F150. Many Ford customers in different US states have been experiencing the same transmission issues without Ford fixing them. My Ford truck has been experiencing rough, jerky gear changes and hesitation with acceleration over the past 4 years. The vehicle feels like it is sticking or slipping when the the transmission shifts. The truck has been taken into the Ford dealership for multiple inspections with the transmission. The transmission has been completely overhauled and Ford service advisories have been completed. Ford has not been able to resolve the transmission issue involving vehicles with 10R80 10 speed transmissions since 2017. The latest incident was an attempt to accelerate out of the way of an oncoming car from behind on the highway. The vehicle experienced a heavy jerk when accelerating to get out of the way.

    The 10 R 80 transmission is unstable and can cause the driver to downshift to make up for a shutter in drive train. Ford calls it normal operation. Secondly, the adaptive cruise control shuts off in traffic. At times unknown to the driver. Very unsafe.
