2019 FORD F-150 Complaints

Transmission. Extremely delayed up shifts. Lurching when placed into reverse. Vehicle would also roll backwards when switching from reverse to drive. Degradation happens over two thousand miles. Got to the point it was a clear safety issue. CDF Failure confirmed by independent shop. Repaired at my cost.

Hard shifting causing my truck to downshift violently. Jerked my neck. Severe neck pain

The transmission shift is abrupt. It’s sometimes lethargic and does not transition smooth at all. There’s a clear issue and seems to get worse.

My 10 speed transmission is not shifting correctly Especially on the expressway, going to cause me to get in an accident

While driving on a straight road, flat surface the ball joint failed/broke causing the lower control arm to drop which in turn caused a collapse of the driver side front suspension. The front quarter panel sustained significant damage due to the collapse. It was all I could do to try and keep the truck under reasonable control. The control bar broke off, traveled under the truck causing some damage, to the under carriage, punctured the rear right passenger tire before denting the back right panel behind the wheel where it exited. Fortunately this was in a rural area, early morning so no other vehicles were involved. Should we keep the pieces so they can be tested/inspected

My 2019 F150 3.5 ecooboost with the (10R80) transmission is unsafe to drive. The vehicle only has 66,000 miles and it is experiencing very serious transmission problems. I will lead off with the most dangerous safety issue. The 10R80 transmission will shift unexpectedly while traveling around 50 mph from 9th gear to 1st gear without actually engaging 1st gear, but simply becoming unresponsive on a highway at high speed. I was afraid I would be rear ended by another driver because I wasn't engaging any brake lights. A few other hazardous examples would be hard shifting such as from first gear to third gear and skipping second gear when gradually accelerating, downshifting hard when approaching a stop sign or red traffic light and shifting from sixth gear to seventh gear and simply not knowing which gear it wants to be in. The transmission is dangerously erratic. Recently the vehicle had a small (wrench) warning light illuminate. I referred to the manual and it indicates a powertrain malfunction. I brought my vehicle in for service and they did a software update. This did absolutely nothing and the transmission simply got worse. It was more erratic than ever. I scheduled another appointment for service and the dealership subsequently told me I need a new transmission. My truck has 66,000 miles on it. This is crazy. And a delicate 66,000 miles at that as I am meticulous with all maintenance intervals. The transmission is so erratic that I will not drive it. It is simply too unsafe and I do not want to cause any further damage. So in conclusion, I now have a 2019 F150 with 66,000 delicate miles on it, sitting in my driveway.

wHILE PROCEEDING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY THE TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED FROM 1ST GEAR TO 7TH GEAR RENDERING IT SO SLUGGISH IT WOULDNT BARLEY MOVE FORWARD LEAVING IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURED MORE THAN ONCE AND IM NOW NOT USING THE TRUCK.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission is failing. Yes, it is available. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety was put at risk by the vehicle losing forward motion while traveling through an intersection. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes I have a diagnosis for transmission rebuild or replace by both a dealer and an independent service center. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Symptoms of slight gear slippage occurred prior to the incident.

2019 F150 with approx 62,000 miles on the odometer. Primary concern is the transmission was unable to shift gears normally. The truck was unable to accelerate or maintain speed normally while the automatic transmission attempted to change gears. This failure occurred without warning. The failure of the transmission was verify by the dealership and an independent mechanic. After the initial failure the "service vehicle" and "check engine" lights came on. After the initial failure the truck was unable to shift into gears 7-10 and had delayed shifting in lower gears. I am lucky the initial failure happened on a residential street at speeds less than 35 MPH. If this had happened at a different part of my commute I could have caused an accident turning into an intersection where cross traffic doesn't have a stop sign.
