2019 FORD F-150 Complaints

Transmission failure. The transmission skips gears when accelerating. Which is especially not good when you are trying to merge into traffic and the vehicle lurches you as it skips gears. Had it diagnosed at the Ford Dealership and they are saying the truck needs an entire new transmission. Skipping in 2nd-3rd gear and while driving in 10th gear it will drop. We purchased this vehicle used and it now has 103k miles on it. Because we are over a 100k Ford will not help us replace the transmission. I am not sure why there is no recall when this is a reported issue (that I wish I knew of before purchasing the truck).

Had new transmission for a little over a month still shifts bad. Same thing as orignal transmission.

I had trasmission replaced and am still having problems with new transmissions. Won't shift gears, especially on highway. Will go from 10 to 1 or jump around.

Additionally, the contact stated while her husband was driving 65-70 MPH on a mountainous road while the contact was occupying the front passenger's side seat, the transmission was stuck in a gear.

The vehicle was taken to AutoZone, where the contact was informed that the failure was related to the ten-speed transmission. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the power train warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a transmission CAD drum defect. The dealer informed the contact that it was a factory defect. The dealer determined that the transmission needed to be taken apart to replace the CAD drum, or the entire transmission needed to be replaced with a new transmission that did not have the factory defect. The dealer notified the manufacturer of the failure, but the manufacturer offered minimal assistance in covering the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Ford TSB Number: 22-2428. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The contact's son-in-law owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the engine.

The contact inspected the vehicle and became aware that the exhaust manifold bolts were fractured. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was determined that the manifold and bolts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was contacted, and a claim was filed with the manufacturer. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The vehicle remained at the residence and had not been driven since. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

Traveling at 75 MPH with cruise control on the transmission shifted into 1st gear. I slowed down and reset the cruise control to 65MPH. A couple of minutes later the transmission again shifted into 1st gear. This happened after driving for about an hour. There is no recall on my F-150. WHY NOT? Thank you for your help.

Intermittent hard, delayed shifting, and a high-speed stumble. Sometimes coming out of 3d under a moderate acceleration, it feels like someone stabs and releases the brakes hard enough to lock the seat belt retractor.

The vehicle shifted from drive to neutral by itself while driving at high speeds on an expressway, unable to accelerate for a short period of time, and then shifted back to gear by itself with the driver almost losing control of the vehicle. At low speeds, several times, the vehicle also shifted erratically between gears, such 1 to 4, 7 to 2 and then back 6 etc.
