When taking a turn from one street to another, my truck made a loud noise and every light went on my dash. A bunch of error messages then my truck stopped and could not move anymore. It could not shift either. I ws stuck in the middle of road then I had to pay to get it towed to the nearest Ford dealership on March 10th 2026. It is now May 5th. and I am still awaiting the fix of my truck. They say it is due to not having the parts to fix it. It is for the recall 25S82, but it is now almost 2 whole months with nothing.

My 2023 Ford F-150 is not drivable due to Ford safety recall 25S82 / NHTSA 25V512. Dealer states parts are on national backorder and Ford Customer Relationship Center said they cannot escalate internally, only forward comments to the dealer. I drive approximately 1,000 miles per week and the dealer-provided loaner requires swaps every 1,000 miles. Ford has not provided a reasonable recall remedy timeline or long-term transportation solution.

Vehicle Shudders under load with harsh/jerky shifts especially when downshifting as the vehicle slows down. Sometimes there is a hard bang when downshifting from 4 to 3. The 10R80 transmission has a reputation for these issues. I took it into the Ford dealer for service and they found that the TCC solenoid was scored, fine metal shavings were found in the fluid indicating a torque converter failure, and the CDF drum was replaced because of a misaligned bushing. Luckily this vehicle is still under factory warranty but these issues are very prevalent.

Harsh or Erratic Shifts: Extremely hard shifts, and harsh downshifts. Delayed Engagement: A long delay when shifting from Park or Reverse to Drive, often with a "thud" or high revving before engagement. "Neutral-Out" Feeling: The transmission feels like it drops to neutral while driving, or slips (RPM flare) before catching a gear. Harsh Electric-to-Gas Transition: In PowerBoost models, the transition between electric and gas power is harsh and aggressive.

2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Complete instrument cluster blackout while driving. Screen goes entirely black intermittently, lasting up to 30 minutes. Occurs while vehicle is in motion. Issue persists even after stopping and restarting vehicle. Loss of speedometer, battery state of charge, warning lights, and all driver information. This creates unsafe driving conditions with no way to monitor speed or critical vehicle systems.

When in drive, the vehicle will roll backwards when on a slope if you do not have your foot on the break. The torque converter and control body has been replaced by Gullo ford of Conroe TX. They state that i should use the auto break function. Ford itself states that i need to contact the dealer to rectify any problems with the vehicle. Ford refuses to do any additional work and state this is normal for this vehicle. This is a very dangerous situation for the vehicle if you are not paying attention or are not familiar with the vehicle.

While driving up to 40 mph, the emergency brake will randomly come on causing me to skid and stop suddenly. I manually have to turn back off the emergency brake to drive again. This incident has occurred in traffic multiple times. The truck has been at the dealership service center four times and they cannot replicate, diagnose, or repair the issue. The dealership states they have looked at the electrical components and replaced the battery, which did not solve the issue. There are no warnings prior to the emergency brake coming on. A collision is not about to happen that causes it to come on.
