WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. THE ODOMETER DISPLAYS JUST DASHES. THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. I PULL OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK. THEN IT DRIVES NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS.

THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVESHAFT. IT'S COATING WEARS OFF WHICH CAUSES IT TO GET INTO A BIND WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP OR FROM A START. FEELS LIKE IT IS HUNG UP IN BETWEEN GEARS. FORD RECALLED F150 RAPTOR AND FIXED IT BUT THE REGULAR F150 THEY DIDN'T RECALL AND IT HAS THE SAME DRIVESHAFT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE CALL THE SLIP YOKE CLUNK IF YOU NEED TO SEE WHAT IT IS DOING.

SOUNDS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS IT STALLS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH.

INADEQUATE CONTACTS ON FUSE RELAY FOR FUEL PUMP, CAUSING OVERHEATING WITHOUT BURNING OUT THE FUES(#27 IN THE FUSE BOX). THIS CAUSED THE RELAY AND FUSE TO START MELTING AND RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE SHUT DOWN OF THE FUEL PUMP, AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.

THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONSAND IS UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. YOU HAVE A RECALL ON OTHER FORD F150'S AND THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM FOR THE MONEY WE PAID FOR THE TRUCK

THE 10-SPEED 10R80 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT IS LOCATED IN MANY F150'S IS DEFECTIVE AS IT CAN SHIFT HARSHLY AND ERRATICALLY AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS, CAUSING VEHICLE CONTROL LOSS AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE WILL OFTEN JERK, LUNGE, AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AS SOMETIMES IT WILL STOP ENGAGING. FORD DEALERS ARE HESITANT TO REPAIR THE PART AND NEGLIGENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. OFTEN NOT BLAMING IT TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION BUT OTHER 'NON RELATED FAULTS' THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE TRANSMISSION, HENCE NOT PROVIDING FREE REPAIR.
