    The doors on my truck have been freezing and wont let me latch the door shut. this was apparently resolved early this year using 18N03. however in Wisconsin it hasnt happened now till winter. first day below freezing, i could not close them. i have 2 young kids and this is a huge safety concern. as an adult its not a big deal. i am terrified to drive my truck due to putting my kids at risk with a door whipping open and or not being able to get them out in an emergency because they are LOCKED shut. the dealer apparently put the fix to it but the first day below freezing, my kid has to sit his seat wondering if his door will fly open. no one else has inspected it except for my local dealer which the "repair" happened. there was no other signs of failure till after i hit my first cold day in fall of 2021 were i thought it was a fluke till i noticed its a truck wide issue from 2015-2017.

    I had a problem that would cause my transmission to randomly downshift or slip into neutral while in drive. When this happened it would also disengage cruise controll and would disengage the blind spot monitoring system.Took it to the dealership and they confirmed it was a faulty molded lead frame. I had them replace the part. But was doing research and saw where they have had similar recalls on previous years.

    I have a 2017 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost and contacted my local Ford dealership and was told my vehicle does not have a recall on the cam phasers but there is a recall on this faulty parts and I'm experiencing these parts failing with only 73,000 miles. Would there be a program I could qualify for to help with the replacement of these faulty parts ? Thank you.

    I'm experiencing issues with Ford's 10-speed transmission, widely considered dangerous due to issues like: harsh shifting, sudden jerking, hesitation when applying power, and unpredictable gear changes. Erratic shifting: The transmission can shift gears unexpectedly, causing sudden jolts and potentially causing loss of control, especially during critical driving situations like lane changes or heavy traffic. Power loss: sudden loss of power due to transmission issues, which can be dangerous on the road The issue occurs in regular intervals but with no particular trigger. No, there were no prior warnings before this failure The ford dealer has run diagnostics on my vehicle and reports an issue with the transmission which causes the above mentioned dangerous conditions.

    My F150 Truck dropped out of gear (5th ) to lower gear while driving. Which is very dangerous and caused almost a potential accident. Seem the power train in transmission and sensors had issue keeping truck in gear. Seems to be an issue on previous F150s and alot of 2017 models

    Ford had done a recall on the cam phasers for the ford raptor. The cam phasers were replaced by ford. Now we are having issues with them again just 3 years later and ford will not provide any assistance with repairs which cost around 5000 dollars to fix. We bought this truck 6 months ago. I don’t think it’s fair or possible for there to already be an issue as this part was only replaced 3 years ago.
