2017 FORD F-150 Complaints

DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER AND DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETLY

Similar to the 10-14 f150 recall for the 6r80 transmission lead frame failure. Driving down the freeway at speeds of 50-70 in 6th gear truck has down shifted into first causing loss of control. Transmission then disengages entirely and loses power mid driving. After turning truck off and waiting, starting the truck it returns to normal. failing speed sensor and lead frame are the cause in this transmission from Ford called the 6R80 in year models 10-19 however recalls were only ever issues for the 10-14 generation for repairs of less than 10 years of age or 150,000 miles. My truck is the generation after, a 2017 model with 146,000 miles. Truck is currently at Ford for repairs and diagnostics. In the most recent event with the truck shifting from 6th gear to 1st yesterday I was in heavy traffic and when I lost control of truck I had to "sweep" to the side of road / ditch to avoid collision with vehicles behind and beside me at speeds of 65-75. I believe the year models 15-19 should be included on the existing recall if equiped with the 6 speed automatic transmission being the fact they were built and manufactured with the same failing parts before the current recall was put in place a few months ago according to online sources. Fortunately I was safe in all 3 incidents but yesterdays close call has forced my hand in "parking" the truck until Ford can repair any malfunctioning parts. If a recall is placed after my trucks repair it would be nice to have compensation for this bill. Truck has had scheduled maintenance including transmission on or before owners manual recommendations at designated Ford dealers other than oil and brake changes which I do myself at home. Please consider the 6R80 transmission as a point of recall for all models not just earlier generations as most of these trucks may not have the mileage yet needed to have serious mechanical failure. In which some failures can have trucks towing loads than can cause serious crash events.

Oil pan leaking, front oil pan leaking on RH. Valve covers failed for updated oil pan. RTD seal leak. Seen that this is a current recall. But my VIN isn't showing this recall. But I'm having this issue.

The door locks freeze in the unlock state and doors will not close and lock. This is a recurring problem for several years. Door will not close and stay closed until the truck heats up.

I have the Ford F1 50 2017 model, 10 speed transmission. I about it new. In early December 2024 well on a road trip went down shifting the transmission started jerking, feeling like it was having trouble finding the correct gear. This continues to occur with subsequent driving of my vehicle. This was dangerous because it was occurring when trying to accelerate and pass other vehicles with a safe margin. This safety factor was definitely impaired. The speed was not properly controlled and the whole vehicle was jerking strongly. Luckily there were no oncoming vehicles but if there were this could have led to a head-on collision. Hesitancy to properly accelerate is extremely dangerous. Doing some research, I see that this problem was recognized by Ford in 2018 and memos to service departments were put out. I also saw that there is a 6 State class action lawsuit regarding exactly the same issue that has been issued against Ford Motor Company since approximately 2018. The lawsuit shows there have been numerous memos regarding this problem known about the Ford 10 speed transmission and not just in Ford F1 50s. I tried contacting Ford Motor Company and they said "your VIN number was not included in any recalls so you can only complain to the NHTSA". This is a known and dangerous problem that Ford motor company should issue a recall for and be responsible for repairing since it has been known since 2018 while all warrantees were still in force. My warranty is no longer in force, but Ford knew about this during the time of my warranty. I called the dealership at the time that it first occurred and they said that they had been fixing multiple transmission problems and they did get a warning memo at the time that it occurred. However I do not see any warnings on my Ford app. I also saw that in 2002 there was another class action suit against a different Ford transmission problem that was eventually settled in approximately 2008.

Driving down the road, truck started erratically shifting into 1st gear while going 55 mph on the highway. This was causing truck to jolt and drop speed quickly and was cause for a major safety issue on the highway. Cause was found to be the lead frame and dealer is replacing it this week. Transmission is the same as found in the 11-13 f150s with an active recall for the lead frame. Have found many others reporting this as an issue that happened to them between 60-120k miles. Mine happened at 60,200 miles. Wanted to report it for others safety on the road to extend the recall to the 15-17 series trucks with the same issues as the 11-13 f150s.

I was driving home and noticed that the back mirror light was on. I tried to turn it off using the button, but it wouldn't go off. Confused, I pulled over to the side to check what was wrong and found that the rear sliding glass was leaning forward on my back seat. The track that was apparently holding it in place had come unglued! I could not believe it. It was raining and I was still a one hour drive away from home.
