2020 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE ONLY AND IMPORTANT FOR ME IS IN THIRD GEAR IT MAKES A SCARY JERK AND BANG WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN SLOW SPEED...MULTIPLE TIMES HAPPEN I TALK IN THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED IT AND EVERYTHIN WAS OK...STILL I AM WORRY CAUSE IT CONTINUES DOING IT. IT START ABOUT 03/12/20 TO THE PRESENT

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while exiting the vehicle after parking the vehicle, the vehicle was rolling backward. The contact jumped into the vehicle and shifted the vehicle into PARK however, after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle started rolling away. The contact mentioned after placing the vehicle in PARK a fourth time the vehicle stopped rolling away. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000. The VIN was not available.

I was driving down the highway when my engine starting shaking so bad I could barely control the steering. I managed to get to the side of the road, and even in park the whole truck was shaking. Had to call a tow truck (cost $100) to take it to nearest Ford dealer. Rodents had chewed through wiring to fuel injectors and knock sensor ($1400). This was the second incident of rodent damage on the wiring of this truck. Mechanic said the soy-based wire coating Ford is using is irresistible to rodents. Insurance company said rodent damage claims on the vehicles using this type of wire coating are 59x higher than on other vehicles. This is a safety concern because of things like happened to me! I could have very possibly wrecked due to this shaking that was so violent. The other event caused my locking system to malfunction. I could have been locked in my vehicle! This is unacceptable. My previous vehicle (Jeep) was parked in the exact same location daily and never had a rodent damage incident. Ford needs to address this!!

On 1/23/22, my passenger front door latch became frozen and will not open. I understand that this problem has been reported on similar vehicles, but the "fix" if installed does not solve the problem. The current outside temperature is 4 degrees Fahrenheit. All the remaining doors are functioning as they should, but my concern is that it will repeat or worse, not close/latch properly.

Was traveling around 40mph and transmission gave out. Lost all power and seemed as if it was shifted into neutral. When looking at the gear selection it was stuck in 7th gear.

This appears to be a possible PCM relay failure or electrical system malfunction . This seems to be a documented issue out there on various websites and forums. I was with my wife and son when the vehicle started running extremely rough and lost nearly all power on a busy roadway. This caused a very dangerous situation for my family in attempting to get the vehicle off the main roadway. Multiple dash lights came on and the system advised of "park brake limited service required", "Hill assist not available" and "drive modes not available". After getting the vehicle off the roadway and parked, the vehicle stalled and would not start or run. I have not taken this to the dealer yet to determine the issue.

rear window spontaneously burst without impact as i was driving down the freeway. scared the crap out of me and got glass all over the cab. This is a relatively new truck. The dealer I bought it at said they couldnt look at it until Feburary as they are so backed up and even then theres not much they could do about it. They were not at all willing to help.

Every time I drive on the highway at speeds over 45+ mph and a load is on the engine and boost is 5+ psi, the truck shudders and shakes like an engine miss. I took it to the dealership 3 times for this and each time they say it is the transmission and it is "normal". Something is seriously wrong with it. It feels like the engine is going to let loose.

4 times this has happened while on the road in traffic: the truck when slowing down around 20mph will shut off and an error message appears on the dash cluster saying "auto startstop shift to p, then restart engine". This put me in major risk of being rear-ended each time as I do not have the ability sometimes to pull off to the side of the road to shift the vehicle into park and restart the engine. Already took it to the ford dealership once and they said that they could not replicate the same condition.

When manually shifting between gears the shifting is a very sudden jolt which results in startling the driver as well as all passengers. This also happens during simple driving around town while doing no manual shifting. Often times there is a delay in acceleration. This is not normal shifting.
