2019 F-150 2.7L EcoBoost, 10-speed. Intermittent unintended acceleration: while coasting or braking at low speed (10–25 mph) the engine suddenly revs to 3–4k RPM with a strong lurch forward against the brakes. Requires hard braking and shifting to Neutral to stop. Happens year-round, warm or cold, no warning lights. This is a known issue covered by TSB 19-2135 and SSM 49240 This problem started in 2020 at about 10K mileage. Has occurred about 10 times since with about 82K mileage now. The service dealer at Acton Ford tried to reproduce the problem a couple years ago by driving it, but acceleration problem didn’t happen. The problem occurred today, Dec 6, 2025 while braking for a stop light when I had to stomp on the brakes and shifted into Park. This could be dangerous if I pulled through the red light into cross-traffic.
cam phaser rattle, well known issue in 2017-2020 F-150s. Started around November 8, 2025, at cold start. Maybe 78,000 miles. Spoke to repair shop who id'd the issue and suggested a NHTSA case.
Chirping and ticking sound coming from rear portion of the exhaust manifold.
This 5.0L Coyote engine has been very problematic. Since 2020, it has made a chatter at low speeds which sounds like a motor dieseling. After numerous visits and complaints to Ford with trying to address the noise, the service manager said it was due to running 87 octane instead of 91+. This vehicle does not mandate premium fuel by the manufacturer but infact the chatter or dieseling goes away when using the premium grade fuel. Consumers should be made aware of this prior to buying a vehicle. Furthermore, the dealership could not tell me if this chattering has caused damage to the engine which could result in shorter life on the engine. This problem exists to this day if not using premium fuel.
This 5.0L Coyote engine burns or consumes oil more than the manufacturer stated allowance. It consumes 3 quarts or more between oil changes (3500 mile intervals). Every 500 miles, I check the oil and add approximately 1/2 quart. This is a known issue by Ford and Ford owners. It should be a recall!
Starting in December of 2023 we started to get a engine light that kept coming on and off about every other week. We took the truck to the dealership for a diagnosis and Ford had told us it was an issue with the catalytic convertors throwing an error code. After the third trip into the dealership and a resetting of the code as per Ford they replaced the driver side catalytic convertor. After a few months of no issues the engine light started coming off and on again. This time the driver side was throwing the code this time. We took the truck into Ford and they reset the light. On the second time it came on after going to the dealership we contacted Ford again about the issue and they stated that a computer update was available for our truck and it would recalibrate the truck computer to help with it throwing the code because it was set at a sensitive setting and it was happening nationwide. We had stated to the dealership that Ford had said on the second attempt to fix the problem if it still persisted that they would replace the catalytic convertor. Since then they had registered the incident a third time and still no fix. Since the third visit to a dealership we have had our engine light come on and off multiple times with no help from Ford in fixing the problem and our concern is that our county is starting emissions checks for 2026 and our truck will require an expensive fix to pass emissions at our cost and no help from Ford. We understand that the catalytic convertors are part of the emissions which come with an 80,000 mile federal warranty coverage but are being pushed around with no help insight from Ford. So come December of this year it will be 2yrs since we started having issues with the exhaust system. With the last light coming back on 10/15/25 and it just turn back off 10/28/25. I had tried to upload the pictures showing how many times our light has gone off and on the last 2yrs but it had told us multiple times your site was having an error.
I am made a formal demand for reimbursement of repair costs I incurred due to a known and recalled defect in my 2019 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost (VIN: [XXX] ). Ford issued an official safety recall for defective cam phasers on this vehicle, classified under NHTSA Campaign Numbers 21B10, 21N03, and 21N08. These recalls specifically addressed the cam phaser rattle and required PCM reprogramming to adjust cam phaser control strategy. Where the reprogramming failed to resolve the defect, Ford authorized full cam phaser replacement under the recall. Despite my vehicle falling squarely within the scope of these campaigns, I was forced to pay $6,908.18 out-of-pocket to have the cam phasers replaced in order to restore safe and proper operation. The defect presented a significant safety concern, and the expense was directly attributable to Ford’s failure to address this issue. I am enclosing the following documentation as evidence: •Repair invoice showing the total paid ($6,908.18) •Proof of payment (credit card receipt / cancelled check) •Vehicle registration verifying ownership •Invoice from Enterprise Rental ($1,522.69) •Proof of payment (credit card receipt) Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, state consumer protection laws, and Ford’s own recall obligations, I am entitled to reimbursement for repairs covered by a safety recall. Accordingly, I demand full reimbursement of $6,908.18 and rental car, $1,522.69 within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter. I have reached out to Ford Motor Company on September 26, 2025 and received no response. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

During driving, the transmission began hesitating when shifting from 4th to 5th gear. Then in stop and go traffic, it would shift hard from 1st gear to the point my head would slam into the headrest. I would then get a notice on the dashboard of a power train failure. Once I turned the vehicle off, the notice would disappear and the vehicle would begin to shift normally for a while, before the hard shifting would continue. On the freeway, sometimes when the vehicle tried to down shift, it would hesitate and I was concerned I would be rear ended as it would not speed up. I brought the truck into 2 different ford dealerships and they both said it needed a new transmissison. There is 123,00 miles on this 2019 Ford F150. I had also related to the dealerships that there was a rattle when starting the vehicle and they said it is due to the cam shifters or more and a complete engine tear down was recommended. At the same time, the electronic screen would sometimes freeze, turn off when driving or not turn on initally. The dealerships said this needed to be replaced. The estimates for repair were from $16,461 to $13,686.
Timing chain and gears need to be replaced. Check engine light came on. This should not be happening to a newer vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. I looked up other complaints and multiple people have filed complaints about the timing chain going out on their vehicle.
The VCT had begun to fail in my 2019 F150 Platinum Truck. It rattled on every cold start. There was a recall for my model and year truck for the VCT issue, but for reasons I don't know, my truck was not apart of that recall. Back when the recall was issued my truck should have qualified, but I was never notified of any issue. I am the only owner of this truck and I have never changed my address while I have owned this truck. Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03 The repair has been completed and cost $5,200.

The cam phaser was replaced, but the vehicle continued to experience hesitation and shuddering while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, and the transmission was replaced. The contact indicated that 20,000 miles later, the vehicle experienced the same failures and was taken back to the dealer, who discovered metal shavings in the engine oil. The contact was advised that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The VIN was not available.

The transmission failed in October 2023 on my way home from work. Brought it to a transmission place and had another one put in. Cost $6k - The truck is now at another mechanic as it broke down again while driving home from work - transmission and engine this time. Mechanic says needs new transmission and timing chain kit - Cost $10k This is a truck that has 100k miles on it and only 6 years old. This will be the 3rd transmission. It is a safety risk as I have no control when the transmission gives out whether its on a highway or one of these country back roads.
Truck is stalling at low speeds or idle when in drive or reverse causing me to get stranded in turns or at stop lights. No check engine lights have come on and the dealership said to wait but it’s happening constantly. Occasionally the auto start stop will say it’s failed but the stalling occurs when it’s enabled and disabled
The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle in colder temperatures, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from under the hood. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for a routine engine oil change, and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

There is, and has been, a consistent rattle sound from the waste gates and all I was told was that Ford knows about the issue and states that it is normal operation yet it can cause damage and reduce performance and could cause a safety issue if it fails and allows no power to be delivered especially if the failure occurs on an interstate. All I’ve been told is the issue can be addressed with a DIY fix of adding a spring but no support from Ford is given in regards to this issue. This is documented all over the forums and is a known issue plaguing the 3.5 ecoboost f150s. The next issue is in regards to the transmission shifting roughly, jerking and sometimes lagging when trying to accelerate. Currently my truck only has 88k miles and this issue has been present since roughly 60k miles and has not been addressed even though it’s been made known.
Well, my motor has already been replaced with less than 80,000 miles because of an engine oil consumption issue. My transmission is not shifting correctly. It jerks and shifts hard. It’s been an issue since I bought it.
Truck is rough idles and stalls when idling and moving at low speeds. It happens at stop lights or low speed turns leaving me stranded in intersections No check engine lights have shown up but a auto start stop message appears on the dash
My F150 constantly needs oil and seems to lag when the oil tank is low. 163000km on the engine. I've heard other 2019 f150 drivers have the same problem. It also has a hard shift after sitting for the night, it will drop gears while going uphill which seems to be from third gear to fourth but instead drops to 3rd again creating a clunk noise. It hasn't caused an accident or anything yet but from my last truck this thing definitely was not built the way it should have been. I think Ford needs to have a serious look at these trucks before someone gets hurt.
abruptly shifts from 3 to 4 gear
Failure of the timing chain started as a rattle on a cold start. I contacted the dealership, and they indicated that all 2019 EcoBoosts need to have cam phasers and timing chain replaced, or they can cause major engine failure.
Cam phaser failure and engine timing off. Caused random shut off of engine and loss of power.

Cam phasers failed, car becomes inoperable. This was a known issue that was brought in under warranty and was not fixed. Car had to be brought in for major repairs because it was not addressed under warranty.
The VCT phaser are leaking oil causing the engine to knock when cold starting. There already was a recall but my vehicle wasn't on the list but it has the same defect as those in the recall
VCT / Cam phasers need replaced on all 3.5 ecoboost engines from 2017-2020. The failure of cam phasers can destroy the engine and if it happens on the road it can be deadly. At a minimum, replacing these cam phasers (due to poorly designed parts) is extremely expensive (between $5,000 to $10,000) and people put off this repair because it is cost prohibitive which will lead to engine failure, potentially at high speeds. My dealer (Phil Long Ford of Denver) provided me an estimate of $5,000 to fix my cam phasers. Again, this is on every 2017-2020 Ford Ecoboost 3.5 engine.

I drive a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L engine and 10 speed transmission. I have received a warning for low fuel pressure, trouble starting, and the truck has cut off once after turning over. It never fails to crank, however, it may take 5 or so seconds of cranking to get it to start. I have had the check engine light come on one time over the last couple of months of the issues starting; the code it showed was a P00C6. I have not brought the vehicle in for service as it just started a couple months ago when it got hot outside and there was a recent recall that did not include this VIN but matches the issue exactly. The warning states to not drive the vehicle and to get it towed if fuel is not low. The recall states there is not a current fix for the issue and I need my vehicle. This is a daily problem, mostly after the vehicle sits for a couple of hours. I am also having an issue with the cam phaser rattle upon startup and rattling while driving. I have noticed some power reduction and it has progressively gotten worse over time. I am at 135,000 miles currently and have experienced this issue for the last 50,000 miles or so.
Vehicle Information: •Make: Ford •Model: F-150 •Year: 2019 •VIN: [XXX] Complaint Summary: Cam Phaser Defect — Safety Risk and Manufacturer Negligence 1. Component/System Failure This complaint involves a mechanical failure of the cam phaser system (part of the variable valve timing system) in the 3.5L EcoBoost engine of the above-referenced vehicle. Specifically, the locking pin within the cam phasers fails to engage properly, resulting in a loud knocking or rattling noise on cold start. This condition is a known defect documented in Ford TSB 19-2208 and subject to Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) 21N03, which extended coverage for cam phaser repair. However, no official safety recall has been issued, despite widespread evidence of failure. The defective parts are still installed in the vehicle and are available for inspection upon request. 2. Risk to Safety This defect compromises driver and public safety and constitutes a violation of 49 U.S.C. § 30101 and 49 U.S.C. § 30118, which obligate manufacturers to notify NHTSA and owners when a defect poses an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. Specifically: •Failure of cam phasers leads to improper valve timing, risking engine hesitation, loss of power, or stall conditions. •These symptoms can occur during acceleration, highway driving, or merging, creating conditions that significantly increase the risk of collision or engine failure while in motion. The defect may also cause internal engine damage over time, raising the risk of mechanical breakdown in traffic. 3.Confirmation of the Problem This issue has been confirmed by a certified Ford dealership and an independent ASE-certified mechanic. Both diagnosed the startup noise as a cam phaser locking failure, consistent with widespread reports from other Ford 3.5L EcoBoost owners. Neither party could provide a fix without significant out-of-pocket cost, despite Ford’s knowledge of the issue and internal bulletins acknowledging the issu INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA)
I purchased this truck about a year ago. After two oil changes, the cam phasers began to rattle on startup. It has the 3.5l Ecoboost engine. This is a known problem and there have been tsb's but they come and go during short windows. The cam phasers were finally updated in 2021 but some people have paid thousands in and out of warranty, some multiple times before the issue is fixed. Ford says they are just a noise and do not cause any issues but the resale is directly effected whether private party or trade in (repair typically costs between $4-7500). Mine started making noise at 89,000 miles. Some people go years with the engine rattling and others have check engine lights and engine issues a shirt time after it begins. Ford knows it is a problem and the customer service sometimes will assist with the cost and other times they tell people to file a complaint here to finally get a recall going. The repair is in depth and typically requires the removal of the cab from the frame, making it likely that everything won't be reassembled correctly.
At 101,000 miles, the engine lost power, check engine light came on, and service transmission light came on. This happened while pulling a trailer up a mountain, slowing the truck rapidly, and becoming a hazard to surrounding interstate traffic. The dealer diagnosed the problem as the timing chain, and replaced it and all related components at a cost of $4500. They tell me that this is a problem with that year truck and engine.

Bought a 2019 Ford F150 with 32,000 miles. A year later, I noticed a rattling sound coming from engine. Dealership said I had very little oil. No leaks anywhere. Dealership said I had started an oil consumption test at 10,000 miles. I informed Dealership I did not own car at those miles. Went to Dealership I bought vehicle from to inform them that they knowingly sold me a truck with known issues. Using about 1 quart every 1000 miles. Also, after Fords band-aid they put on, seems to be hesitant on acceleration. Dangerous in busy intersections. Ford refuse to fix a known issue with this vehicle.

My 2019 F150 has issues with both the cam phasers and the transmission. Every time I turn on my truck I get the ford “cold start rattle” because defective parts from the factory that ford has known were defective and later fixed but for some reason my truck was not in the recall. My truck came off the same assembly line and time period of previous CSP or recall programs but my vin was never included. My truck also has 60,000 miles and the 10 speed transmission clunks all the time. I’m not sure if it’s missing shifts or what is breaking but everyone with a f150 around this year knows they are common to have transmission issues. Sometimes my truck doesn’t find the proper gear getting started and will rev high and barely move until it finally gets shift right and gets moving. These 2019 F150 issues are far too common i see them all across the blogs and internet and know a few other owners who have similar issues.
About a month ago my truck started shifting hard between 3rd and 4th gear. My truck has been in the shop almost 1month Water Solutions is giving me a run around. They drove the truck and confirmed it’s shifting hard. Took the transmission pan out and saw the metal shavings. now they want me to take it to another shop for a CDF air drum test. Have any other F150 having this issue?I need help on what to do

I own a 2019 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost with approximately 117,000 miles. Like many others, I am experiencing the widely reported cold start cam phaser rattle, which grows louder with colder temperatures. This is a known issue addressed by Ford in TSB 19-2365, yet no recall has been issued. I believe this defect poses long-term reliability concerns and could eventually lead to engine damage. Ford should be held responsible for a widespread design flaw affecting thousands of vehicles. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this recurring issue and hold Ford accountable for consumer safety and financial impact.
Rough idling result in Cam phaser and timing belt replacement. While driving the vehicle would accelerate and decelerate on its own making it unsafe to drive. Dealer quoted me $6,095 to replace camp phasers (part #HL2Z-6C590-A)

My 2019 F150 started having a loud rattling noise coming from the motor. I took my truck to the Sam Galloway Ford dealership and it was determined that the cam phasers needed to be replaced however they would not cover this cost since my VIN was not listed on the recall sheet. My vehicle was manufactured in Kansas during the time period and has the 3.5 liter motor and according to the recall letter my vehicle should be included in this recall.

Had diagnostic done on truck to find out cam phasers need replacement. There was a recall on this issue but was never informed of. Now I’m looking at a $3528.40 repair which I was informed that this can be a regular repair once issue occurs. Reached out to Ford Corporation and was informed they couldn’t help us in any way.
Cam phasers - this is a known issue on the 3.5L ecoboost motors, yet Ford will not stand behind their product. They have paid for some people to have it repaired, and not others. This is about a $4,000 fix at the dealership, again for an issue they knew about years ago. They tried to claim changing the timing with the ECM module would stop it from happening, but as I discovered this weekend it didn't My vehicles ECM was swapped in 2021 and here I am a few years later with the same issue. Ford needs to be called out as they knowingly pushed out subpar engine products to make more money.
I purchased a 2019 F150 through Imperial Chevy in Mendon, MA in 2022. Technical Service Bulletin 19-2365 had been issued on 05 December 2019 and the dealer did not disclose or address the issue prior to sale. The truck has had regular oil changes every year and then check engine light came on - Code P0630 Camshaft Position Sensor B circuit. Ford service diagnosed scoring in the cylinders and verified that it has the excessive oil consumption issue. Solution is total engine replacement. Ford corporate has so far denied the claim and refused to offer financing for $12,000+ repair. Having approved many other claims for the same issue, they are now requiring Ford service to do a teardown before considering whether to pay for this known issue. This truck currently isn't be driven more than a few miles a day to and from work. We bought this truck to haul a full size two horse trailer which we haven't done as we are afraid to further tax the transmission and/or run the truck out of oil inadvertently since the oil gauge does not give warning that the oil is low - instead the truck throws a P0390 code. Ford must be held responsible for paying for repair. I can provide extensive paperwork if necessary. This is a known issue that Ford is refusing to remedy and any F150 experiencing this issue must be recalled immediately.

CAM PHASERS!!!! I have a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine which started having cam phaser issues. On cold starts, the engine makes a loud rattling noise for several seconds, and during idle a ticking noise is heard as well. At times the engine runs roughly and loses power briefly when i’m driving it. I’m very concerned because it happened to me while merging into a highway the truck cut power down and I almost caused an accident for not getting up to speed properly, additionally this could lead to the car shutting off on me, or other dangerous situations on the road, other than the long wear and tear that these bad cam phasers have on the engine. I’ve learned that this issue is known to Ford and has been happening for many years, and was addressed for other owners through Customer Satisfaction Programs like the 21N03 and its various supplements, to my knowledge the last one being held in 2022, but my truck is not covered at this time even though it’s a 2019 and has under 70,000 miles. I believe this issue should be investigated further as it is a safety risk to drivers, passengers, and all other vehicles on the road, and Ford should be held accountable, as this issue has been seen around their 3.5 Ecoboost engines and has yet to be fixed. It seems like it’s an ongoing profitable business for them to keep customers paying out of pocket for this $4,000+ job knowing that it’s an issue that many owners have, which is beyond ridiculous on their end. If it’s possible for you guys to take a look at any of their social media platforms, most of the comments on their posts, even if they have nothing to do with this engine, are complaints about not having a Recall for cam phasers on the 3.5 Ecoboost engine. Ford needs to be held accountable for this issue and give more importance to the safety of their customers instead of their parts/service profits!!!!!!
Had oil change 7 times in one year and each time they indicate at the place I get oil changed that it is a quart or more low before 3,000 miles of usage after oil change. My car is suppose to take unleaded gas or higher and it knocks if I use unloaded. Now my catalytic converter is going out and it is not covered under warranty unless it is consequential to other problems. Well there appears to be engine problems that are not being addressed and I have a warranty and have taken it in. But they do not look any deeper into the problem except for computer scan and the warranty people won’t give me any answers on what they will do if there is engine problems.
Engine Consumes approximately 4qts of oil every 5000 miles. Rachet sound from engine when let off the gas. Popping/Cracking/Rattling sound coming from behind firewall when accelerating at low RPM's (1500-2000).
Driving highway speed (70mph) and vehicle suddenly drops speed to (25mph) and running at 5000rpm and loses all forward drive speed while pressing on the gas pedal. Pulled over and turned off truck and tried to restart it and it took over 15 seconds for the power start to start the engine after pushing the start button, still had no power to accelerate after placing it in drive. My Ford App sends an alert code reading Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power. Towed to dealership to get looked at under purchase warranty agreement. This could have caused a major accident if there would have been more traffic on the highway at the time causing major injuries and/or death, this needs to be investigated what is causing this issue. There are a lot of forums on the internet for 2019-2023 F150 having this same issue reporting/regarding “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power”, don’t know if anyone else has had it happen while driving at highway speeds or not though haven’t looked through everyone of them.
When I go to accelerate fast the check engine light comes on and the car shakes a little and won’t accelerate at all. This is a saftey issue because I almost caused an accident several times. And this is the second F150 eco boost I have had in a year with the exact same problem

The truck would just shut off while driving or not start whenever you need it to. It acts like a dead battery but the battery is fine. It has been at the dealership for 45 days plus straight for this issue. When it cuts out, we lose all steering all breaking all power. I’m very lucky it hasn’t taken my life or one of my family members lives. There are some innocent person on the road because of The lack of quality and workmanship. In my opinion the truck needs to be recalled because it’s been nothing but a hassle for us.
Cam Phasers were recalled on some 2019 Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost motor. Ours is having the same issues as others that were recalled but we were never notified of the recall and it doesn't show up for our VIN. Why would it not be on all 2019 Ford F150 3.5 EcoBoost motor?

Vehicle has just 70,000 on it. Engine light came on after the vehicle was rattling at the engine start and running rough at idle and had power issues when driven. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where it was diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced and probably the cam phasers. Over $5,200 + in repair costs. Vehicle was taken to an independent service location for repair where the issues were confirmed.
Truck decelerates while on incline. Engine light did come on. Took Car to Bill Brown Ford dealership. has been at dealer since 2/12/25. Code P0305 due to low compression on cylinder #5 110 PSI, #4 121psi all others at 145-150 psi. was informed necessary to replace long block. The truck was purchased with extended service warranty thru Ford ESP. warranty lists engine replacement is covered. however, ESP not covering it. Research on internet states frequent issues with 2.7 liter ecoboost 2019 Ford F150 has common issues with the cylinders requiring engine replacement
My 2019 F-150, which has less than 60,000 miles, has a bent valve in the 2.7L EcoBoost engine. Bent valves are a known issue for this model engine that has led to a recall for similar engines. Despite being outside the 5-year warranty period, my vehicle is within the mileage limit that Ford sets as a marker for major issues. After contacting Ford Care to request they cover the cost of this premature failure, I waited for over a month to receive their offer. It was for about $4400 of a $10,000+ cost. The partial coverage offered is not sufficient given the circumstances. It's important for Ford to stand by its products and support customers facing problems due to manufacturing defects. Especially with engine models, like mine, that have had so many issues that the company no longer makes or uses that engine model. A recap: • The service advisor at Rick Ridings (my Ford service dealership in Monticello, IL) acknowledges that a vehicle with such low mileage should not have a bent valve and require such extensive, premature repairs. • I’ve found years of reports from other Ford owners in online forums talking about valve issues with this model engine. Early failures of the 2.7L EcoBoost engines were traced to fractured intake valves that caused significant engine damage. • Ford had a massive recall on EcoBoost 2.7L engines from 2021 to 2022 where the issues were with intake valves made from a material not being up to spec. • Today, Ford no longer uses this engine – a decision I'd guess was driven in part by the engine’s history of failure. • Overall, it’s a clear pattern of defects with the valves in the 2.7L EcoBoost engine. I simply want Ford to stand by the customers that buy their products when there appears to be evidence of a manufacturing defect that caused the issue at hand. All I want is the cost of the repair or replacement covered.

I have a 2019 f-150 Platinum . Bought it 4 months ago and I've put about 9,000 miles on it and the transmission is going out from what the dealer told me. I bought it from the same dealer that told me what's wrong with it. It shuts off in the middle of changing gears while driving down the road. It's happened 4 times. It's very unsafe. The service department at the dealership said something's going on with the admissions that could cuase it to vaper-lock shut down. They estimated the job to cost eight thousand dollars, which I don't have. It had139,000 when I bought it frome them

1st safety problem is while accelerating, there is a rough shift in gears despite being an automatic transmission. While attempting to gradually and safely accelerate, vehicle causes an abrupt deceleration where rpms drop and vehicle occupants are thrown forward during the process. Vehicle was brought to Ford Dealership for repair. They noted a known issue with transmission and completed a software restart/update. Vehicle gear shift improved slightly for short period of time but eventually resumed and is noticeably worse in colder months. This problem has been noticed while turning, resulting in near misses with oncoming traffic and is concerning when entering/merging with traffic at highway speeds. There were no dashboard warning light indicators at any point. Battery was in good condition. 2nd concern: Engine fire ups up on start but stalls while idling when shifting out of park as well as in stopped traffic. "Auto startstop, shift to P, then restart engine" notification presents on gauge display. This requires multiple attempts to get vehicle restarted with following notification instructions and shutting off/restarting engine. Disengaging auto startstop on startup is inconclusive about remedying the situation. Battery was tested as good but replaced anyway due to age to rule out battery related concerns. Contacted Ford dealership service department and they replied, "they have never heard of it happening." They denied knowledge of any TSB, CSP or recalls/complaints about the issue. However, it appears this issue is well documented on multiple Ford models and various production years. Other than instrument/gauge display of "Auto startstop, shift to P, then restart engine" occurring after the fact, there is no warning light indicators. Safety is at risk due to stoppage of traffic and loss of power/ability to accelerate or maneuver vehicle in traffic situations to include clearing intersections with oncoming traffic while turning at low speeds/idling.
2019 F-150 vehicle is equipped with a 5.0L engine that exhibit excessive oil consumption, to where every month i have to add oil. There are no visible oil leaks. Each time i go for oil change before the 3 months and/or recommended 3,000 miles, im told there is no oil in the engine. After doing research, i found that the issue of excessive oil consumption is caused by high intake manifold vacuum during some deceleration fuel shut off events resulting in oil being pulled into the combustion chamber from the crankcase, valve guides, and positive crankcase ventilation (PCV). To correct the condition, steps to reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM), installation of a new engine oil level indicator and change the engine oil and oil filter. The revised PCM calibration reduces engine vacuum during some DFSO events. After calling local ford service center, the issue was confirmed and I was told that there isn't a fix for the problem. I was provided by the Ford service agent the contact information for Fords customer service. Spoke to the agent who told me that there is only a recall for the tailgate for my model. Anything else I would be responsible for repairs. The Ford customer service agent then gave me the website to NHTSA to file a complaint. Now I'm doing just that. It appears that this is a common issue for my year make and model. Please investigate, please help.
Vehicle shuts off randomly when the StopStart feature is disabled/turned off via button in dashboard. The instrument panel displays message on dash saying: “Auto StopStart, Manual Restart, Required” And “Auto StopStart, Shift to P, Then Restart engine” This often happens in the middle of an intersection where I risk being hit by another vehicle. This has happened on multiple occasions. Dealership was unable to recreate problem so unfortunately nothing was repaired. There are many online forums discussing this very same problem.

Engine failure. FoMoCo stated it was due to oil failure. I change my oil every 6000 miles according to manufacturer. I produced records for oil changes and receipts for first 3 oil changes but couldn’t for last 3. Engine had 42,000 miles. Warning light came on stating Temporary Emissions Disconnect but never had anything touched on the engine prior to light. Never found the problem. Engine started bucking and was using oil on return home. Ford dealership found #2 cylinder with no compression. Turbos may have blown and put compromised oil into engine causing issue. Dealership never investigated. Filed pictures, receipts and other documents to Ford Consumer Affairs to no avail. Had to have replaced engine on my dime. Old engine was returned to salvage yard used engine purchased from. Was able to limp back home but engine could have had catastrophic failure on the road. The truck has 50000 mile warranty plus I took out extended warranty (70000).
Truck has 85K miles on it and has a loud ticking noise followed by rattle at 1500 rpms even after timing system was rebuilt. Burnes 1qt of oil every 1000 miles. Entire timing system needed to be replaced due to two faulty chain tensioners. Engine was super clean and had zero oil sludge buildup. Currently having a oil consumption test done.

I leased a new 2019 Ford f150 xlt sport package in the fall of 2019. During the first year, I experienced some "choking" of the engine when I would accelerate. Nothing big, but noticeable. I mentioned this experience to the dealer at regular checkups and they informed me that it was "normal" and that if anything was wrong, the computerized monitoring system on the truck would identify the problem. I bought the truck after a 36 month lease. The choking continued to be a regular occurance, especially for the first few miles of a new drive. Around 30k miles, I noticed the issue getting more pronounced. I again asked the dealer about it and they provided me the same answer as before and didn't offer to explore the issue. Between 30K and 50K miles, the issue became more frequent and would impact the truck whether it was warm or cold. But now I experienced a hard shift between 1-3 gears and sometime 3-5-- jerking and slowing and struggling to move to the next gear. It will also bog down at times when changing into the higher gears with no telling when this would occur. Again, I asked the dealer about it, and becuase there was no safety light, they wouldn't do a thing. Over the past month or two, at over 50K miles, the frequency was several times on every drive. It started to jump from 8-1 and back up to 8. It would jerk and slow in high traffic situations, and finally it just would not move into gear at a stop sign at rush hour. I had to drop it into low gears and move to the side of the road after 10 minutes of stoppage; then the check engine indicator finally flashed, after an incident that could have caused harm to me or others. I slowly drove it to my destination. Since then, I have not allowed anyone to drive the truck because it is dangerous to operate. I took the truck to the dealer and they informed me that it needs a new transmission which will be ~$5k

The Cam phasers in my truck malfunctioned at 72K miles. The failure would cause the vehicle to stall while driving. The dealership replaced them for $4945.26. The dealership would have the broken components. No warning light or malfunction light appeared.
The vehicle developed a grinding noise in the engine soon after i lost all power and brakes while leaving my driveway i thought I was going to crash into my neighbors fence. I had zero braking function out of no where ans no check engine light, it came back after about 30 seconds being off. Then as I was driving down the road I lost all power and I could not accelerate or anything in the middle of the road again no check engine light came on it was just an instantaneous power loss took about 45 seconds to re-engage. I've lost power on the freeway while driving as well.
vehicle started @ around -15 F, drove it for 15 minutes, parked and turned it off. 90 minutes later with temps around -5 to -10 F it would not turn over. Messages on dash included : full accessory power available, and something about a steering assist fault. Jumping battery did not help. Vehicle hauled to shop. Shop disconnected battery and reconnected it and vehicle started. Fault codes were cleared and vehicle ran without creating new fault codes. If this fault had occurred in the middle of nowhere without assistance available the computer going into no start mode when the battery was not dead could easily have resulted in death from the cold weather. The vehicle computer should have a reset option which can be triggered by any operator.

The truck started to have a slight shutter when driving around 80,000 miles. it now shutters all of the time while driving. They trucks shakes. i called my local mechanic and he stated he is having a lot of calls with this make and model truck. he stated that the problem is in the transmission. the inside of the drum that houses the transmission fluid is breaking down the inside and its shredding to pieces. i was informed to call the ford dealership to see if mine was on the recall list but it is not. they acted like there hasn't been a recall for this matter. i have been stopped by random people asking if i was having this problem because them to was having the same issues. i do not feel like we as the consumers should have to pay to have this issue fixed, which is resulting in new transmissions when the problem is because of manufacturing issues. my local mechanic is saying it's costing people upwards of $8,000 to have this fixed and that is unacceptable.

2019 F-150 with 3.5L GTDI engine. Cam phasers required to be replaced on truck with 52,000 miles on it. Repair bill of $4800. Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Program ("CSP") notices 21B10 and 21N03 for Ford F-150s manufactured between 2017-2020 equipped with the 3.5L GTDI engine manufactured in Dearborn, Michigan or Kansas. A copy is attached. Under these CSPs, Ford paid for up to 100% of the repair cost, plus 1-day rental vehicle, for owners with vehicles with up to 69,999 miles on them. Ford has refused to apply the CSP to my truck, despite it only having 52,000 miles, because they say the CSP did not apply to my VIN. However, my truck is the same make, model, engine type and manufacturing location as identified in the CSP, and I have the EXACT same engine issue as described in the CSP. I did not receive any letter or recall notice from Ford regarding this issue and they expect me to pay $4,800 to get my truck back from the dealership simply because the CSP "didn't attach to my VIN." It's not a coincidence that my truck has the EXACT same characteristics and engine problem as identified in the CSP. But while thousands of consumers with THE SAME TRUCK had this repair 100% covered by Ford, I have to pay $4,800.
When pressing the gas pedal to accelerate , the truck will not accelerate rather it begins to rev the engine loudly (as if the gas pedal was being pushed while the truck is in neutral) the RPM shoots high to 6-7 (again the truck isn’t accelerating any faster just loudly revving,) then the truck jolts as if it has just been rear ended. The shifting is stuttering staying stuck in 3rd and 4th gear severing going back to 1 even at a stop. Vehicle messaging alerted 1/10/25 powertrain malfunction /reduced power . However this issues has been going on and Ford Said it was related to a 4x4 control module which was replaced and yet the issues continue. Brought it back to ford because the problem was not fixed and they are asking for payment of additional diagnostic testing and NOW saying it’s a transmission issue AFTER saying it was issue with the control module unit. Work was completed 10/2024 at Ford
Purchased Dec 4, 2019; followed maintenance requirements through BO Beukcman Quality Ford. Oil changes made IAW Ford guidelines every 5000 miles. Oil change was made Nov 23, 2023 at 49,504 miles. Just before next oil change noticed engine knocking on acceleration/deceleration with intermittent check engine light on. Oil changed at 54,226 miles (Aug 22, 2024). Condition mentioned to dealer. Dealer advised engine was consuming oil. There was no visible sign of leaks. Fix -- install new dip stick, reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Rationale: Ford TSB 19-2365 Dec 5, 2019 quoted as follows: oil consumption "may be due to high intake manifold vacuum during some deceleration fuel shut off (DFSO) events resulting in oil being pulled into the combustion chamber from the crankcase, valve guides and positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)". Supposedly reprogramming would reduce engine vacuum during DFSO events (note: I noticed knocking on acceleration). At the dealership inquired why Ford did not advise customers of condition. They could not answer my question. My F-150 is a 5.0L V8 and was described by dealer as a Coyote engine. I asked if they had similar maintenance events like mine; answer - yes. I was disappointed; have owned previous F-150s and none "consumed" oil like this -- my previous truck had 150,000+ miles -- no oil burning. The dealer instructed me to bring the vehicle back every 1000 miles to check dipstick for consumption. Returned vehicle to dealer at 55,626 and 56,700 miles. On returns, consumption was noted; they topped off my oil with instruction to return again at 57,626 (current mileage 57,435 miles) This is inconvenient and poses a safety risk to me and perhaps others through engine degradation/failure especially while driving. Believe Ford owes the cunsumer a permanent engine fix. Vehicle is available for inspection NHTSA.
Rough idle engine noise at stop, engine stalls out and dies. No check engine lights present, Auto start/stop system light comes on indicating its disabled and to shift to park and restart engine.
Truck was taken in for cam phasers issues multiple times and said was covered under 21n03. Ford won’t say why other than it doesn’t fall in serial number break. 21n03 says there is no sn distinction just has to be made at these plants which mine was. I have been lied to multiple times by ford and have come to them with new information and still told they won’t even look at case because I have been denied once already. I had to pay 5k out of pocket and cam phasers are now failing again within 90days. Ford is a joke and doesn’t stand behind what they build.

While driving down a busy road my wrench light appeared on my dash and made a dinging noise. As soon as I saw/heard that I could hear a faint ticking noise. Soon after, my engine quit running and I was stalled out in the middle of a lane on a busy road. I was unable to start my vehicle after that. My engine had seized. There was no prior check engine lights or anything. I had only owned the truck 1 year and 4 months and had put 13,000 miles on it. Always kept good maintenance and there was no prior indications that there was something major wrong

The vehicle was purchased brand new from a Ford dealership in 2019 in Virgina. Later, a service bulletin was released by Ford for a "cold start rattle" and cam phaser failure through the ford pass app and by mail. This service bulletin extended the warranty on the cam phaser parts to cover up to 100% of the cost to fix the vehicle. At that time, due to being a military family we had moved to Florida and never received the service bulletin in the mail. After reviewing the service bulletin for the vehicle on the ford pass app, it was taken to a Ford dealership in Miami to be inspected. The Ford Miami dealership did not think there was a cam phaser issue with the vehicle at that time and refused to fix vehicle. Ultimately, the vehicle was taken back to a Ford dealership in Ohio to have it reinspected for the same issue (The cold start rattle/Cam Phaser). The Ford Dealership assessed the vehicle and stated, it in fact has the known issues with the Cam Phaser failure. The vehicle is under the mileage for the service bulletin. However, Ford is unwilling to fix the vehicle due to exceeding the date of the service bulletin. This issue puts my safety and others on the road at risk, because if the cam phaser is not fixed the motor of the vehicle will fail and could potentially cause serious injury or death. The vehicle is not safe to drive at this time. This problem has been confirmed by a Ford Dealership and the vehicle is currently sitting at the dealership awaiting to be fixed. There are no warning lights on the vehicle for this issue.
Cam phasers in engine have failed for the second time. Potential safety issue is if not repaired, could lead to catastrophic, unexpected engine failure as the cam phaser is part of the engine timing system. Prolonged driving with this issue would inevitably cause major mechanical problems which could possibly lock the engine up while driving. This would obviously be a safety issue while traveling down crowded interstates at posted speeds in any metropolitan area. Vehicle is currently at the dealer again and the problem has been confirmed. Vehicle is out of warranty at this point and the repair is over $4,500. This price will ultimately lead to many people electing to take the chance instead of pay to fix this known issue with this truck. It is a very expensive repair for a vehicle to have twice under 100K miles. There are no warnings or codes associated with this problem. The beginning stages of this problem start with a loud rattle on a cold start. I have not let this issue persist due to safety concerns of my family being in the vehicle with me. I have elected to spend the enormous amount of money to repair this issue again and hopefully when I am able, I will purchase a different vehicle.
While driving 65mph on I-495 on a +90 degree day in August my 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4, the horn of the F-150 beeped. It beeped again a couple more times then the F-150 powered down forcing me to coast through some lanes of traffic to reach the break down lane. ABS and maintenance due light were both illuminated. My code reader said a switch was shorted so I cleared codes to retest. I restarted the truck and after re-boott was able to drive the vehicle home. Not associated with this enroute power failure incident, I notice intermittent rough idle issues, a tail gate that opens by itself 24/7 with alarm and it is now normal for this F-150 to burn 3-4 quarts of extra oil between each oil change.

When my truck hit about 60,000 - 65,000 miles it started to jump into gear sometimes. It didn't feel right. It was at a low RPMs when starting to accelerate. I was planning on taking it to the dealership to have a look at it, but several months had gone by before I had an opportunity to do so. I then noticed a clanking upon a cold start. It sounded like a loose muffler. So I planned a trip to have both of these issues looked at. The Ford Dealer Service Manager told me that the cam phasers and transmission needed to be replaced. How can a vehicle with only 65,000 miles on it need almost $20,000 in repairs???!!! I went ahead and authorized the cam phaser job because I didn't realize how costly it actually was, I misunderstood the service manager. But I will not be fixing the transmission unless ford does a courtesy replacement, or a recall. I will otherwise wait until this transmission leaves me stranded on the side of the road to be raped and murdered. Everyone with this transmission is having issues. There is a class action lawsuit starting over it. I am now reading hundreds of on line complaints and watching a ridiculous amount of videos of these failures in Fords transmission and the cam phasers. Please help me. I cannot afford $20,000 in repairs and I bought a new vehicle so that I could be rest assured not to have any major repair needed so soon in its life span. I don't have the invoices yet, the Ford Dealer still has my truck in the shop.
Noticed a squeaking/rattle noise took to shop couple times trouble identifying.. finally diagnosed as Cam Phaser defect. Researched and see a problem w fords for quite sometime. Have never received any notification. Called ford offering no help. Stuck w a $4000 $500 repair bill of which simply can't afford .. a five year old pickup due to a Ford defect.

Currently Suffering from a manufacturing defect per diagnosis from Ford technician in my 2019 F150 with the 10-speed transmission. I was advised by Ford to submit the form since I must pay for the repair and updated components to fix the issue and would be reimbursed once the recall was issues. Ford has issued a new technical service bulletin (TSB 24-2046) and re-engineered the CDF drum and housing to correct the issue. Below is a list of symptoms I’ve been experiencing along with others from 2017 – 2023: Wrench light is on Clunking or banging noise when starting the engine Rough, harsh or erratic shifting Hesitation between gears Gear slipping Gear getting stuck while shifting Jerking or lunging Loss of power while driving
The truck has a horrendous rattle on cold starts. I have had it in a Ford service center and they tell me it needs almost $4500 worth of work to repair the issue. They say EI36 Camshaft Sprocket-replace.
The Ford F-150 cam phaser issue primarily affects models from 2011 to 2020 with the 3.5L EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 engines. The cam phasers, which are components in the engine's variable valve timing system, are designed to adjust the timing of the camshafts to optimize engine performance and efficiency. The problem arises when the cam phasers start to fail or become noisy, often producing a rattling or ticking sound, particularly on cold starts. This noise is due to the phasers not locking properly or wearing out prematurely, leading to improper timing adjustments. Over time, this can result in reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, and in some cases, engine damage if not addressed. Ford has issued Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and extended warranties for some vehicles to address this issue. In many cases, repairs involve replacing the cam phasers, timing chains, and associated components, which can be costly. The issue has led to customer dissatisfaction and several complaints, with some owners reporting multiple repairs before the problem is fully resolved. I was not sent the letter advising me of the customer satisfaction solution and now Ford wants me to pay $4,000 to resolve this issue.
The car lost ALL POWER and the ability to accelerate for more than 10 seconds. Luckily cars coming form across moved to the side to not hit me. I was stuck in the middle of the intersection. I attempted to shift manually in a panic and the car slammed really hard in likely 1st gear, red-lineed for several seconds then inched forward enough to pull to the side. I was able to proceed forward stuck in 7th gear, where the car remained stuck in that gear. This was terrifying as I had ZERO ability to move forward, the engine was revving but no gears were available
Has high fuel pressure constantly and I have changed several parts for the fuel system and has it running to rich

The cam phasers on my 2019 F-150 recently starting making a rattling noise on cold starts. The dealership is quoting a replacement for $4500. I received Customer Satisfaction Program 21B10, 21N03, and 21N08 updates in the mail in 2021 from Ford to have the cam phasers replaced. The recall/replacement program was extended from 2022 to January 1, 2023. Unfortunately I've had my truck in for service multiple times and was told to not replace the cam phasers if there isn't an issue. Now there is an issue after the expiration and I'm being asked to pay out of pocket.
Engine randomly ratted and sometimes sounds like a loud sewing machine when first started up. Transmission skips gears and bangs into gears. Transmission has downshifted while driving causes fear and momentary loss of control. Transmission over heats while towing my camper. Truck is rated tow my camper. Engine misses while under load. I fear I will be broke down along side the road. Trade in value for a truck that operates properly has left me with an unsafe situation and a financial loss.
Truck would down shift to 1 no matter what gear I was in and jerk. It would also shake and/or stall at random times. I was almost t-boned pulling out of my of my neighborhood and it stalling. I was also close to being read ended when truck was in 5th and jumped to one going down the road.
The engine has a bad rattle on every first start (or cold start). There are a ton of posts about this issue, and it sounds like it's a bad cam phaser that's prevalent on all F-150s built between 2017 and 2020. If there are so many trucks affected, then why isn't there a recall in place from Ford? It looks like Ford had some type of extended warranty issued through Jan 2023, but then that stopped. Here is more information on the issue: Ford is aware of the Cam Phaser problems and has issued a technical several bulletin to address the complaints and provide warranty repairs. According the Ford Cam Phaser Technical Service Bulletin Program 21N03 (TSB): “In some of the affected vehicles, an undesirable noise may develop from the cam phasers in the 3.5L GTDI engine. This noise might occur as a rattle when starting the engine after the vehicle was turned off for an extended period of time or as a knocking noise when the engine is idling after it is warmed up” In addition, the Ford Cam Phaser TSB has established a program which extends the warranty coverage of the engine cam phasers until January 1, 2023.

I have had numerous issues with the transmission on this truck. The truck has been to dealerships ever since I bought it for transmission issues. New issue occurred this week while going 75mph and continually as I decreased speed down to 60mph. While driving at the high rate of speed the transmission would go from gear 10 straight to 1, causing the RPMs to spike and Redline once. This occurred 5 times during my drive within about 15 minutes until I was able to stop and leave the truck. No leaks of any transmission fluid was found and truck has had all of its annual inspections and work done according to Ford maintenance timelines and all work on truck has been done at Ford dealerships. I have complained to many dealerships about my transmission. One of the times the gear shifted to from 10 to 1 for a few seconds and then straight back to 10 after the RPMs spiking was recorded on video.

Ford has done a service bulletin on the cam phasers once before. The issues are still not fixed and all they say is it's normal. An engine rattling due to a part they installed is not considered normal. Wrong parts were used and the problem still persists. Ford needs to be made to recall 2015 to 2019 f150 trucks as well as any other series that have the issue. The service bulletin only gave people a certain amount of time to come in and have it fixed the first time which left a lot of people out of luck due to lack of communication to the owners of said vehicles.
12/26/2023 Re: VIN: Case#: I purchased this truck new 4/1/2019 and purchased a Ford Extended warranty(Ford Protect) the following month for 5 years/125K miles. This was my second F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost engine. Since that time it has been serviced continuously by Ford Dealerships . At no time during that time period under warranty has any Ford dealership mentioned that there were service bulletins out to the dealerships with regard to failing Cam phasers. From research that I have done over the weekend there is apparently a New type phaser being used on F150’s since 2021 that corrects the problem. If Ford and all of the Ford dealerships knew of this common problem why were not the Ford customers notified of the issue? I went in for an oil change last week and the technician noted a tiny sound when the engine started. I went back the following week to have a sensor replaced and the mechanics indicated that there was a camshaft/phaser problem that would cost $4200 to fix. That issue could have been fixed at any time under the extended warranty from 2021-2022 if the dealerships had notified the Ford customer by using the same phasers installed on new trucks. I received a follow up call from a Ford rep 12/28/2023 who denied that I had a Ford Protect extended warranty. I verified the policy 12/29/2023 and called Ford again who again stated that I did not have a Ford Protect Policy. Finally it took a conference call with the dealer to convince Ford who still would not agree to fix the issue. The Dealer offered to extend the policy until realizing that it had been diagnosed with a cam phaser failure stating they could not warrant an existing issue. That is exactly what the dealer did in 2019 when they sold the extended warranty on a known issue. Phasers are the critical feature that controls the timing and computer controlled oxygen input and exhaust for ecoboost engines. When they start to break down it affects the health of the engine itself.

Transmission jerks, and stalls. Drive train noise. Engine cuts out and has rough idle.
The vehicle has given codes P0018 and P0021 on multiple occasions. These codes are likely due to an issue with the cam phasers. This is a known issue due to a design flaw.
I drive a 2019 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD (8 Cylinders 5 5.0L FI FFV DOHC 302 CID). During November 2023, I was experiencing the truck bucking and jerking and shutting off at red lights and stop signs. I took my truck to the dealership on November 22 to have them look at it. They replaced the starter, an almost dead battery, and a PDM reset. The PDM reset and starter were covered under my extended warranty. Upon driving my truck home, the problem continued to exist and this time much worse. I returned to the same dealership on Friday, November 24, 2023. After a diagnostic test, they found nothing, then stated a couple of people drove the vehicle and could not duplicate the problem I was complaining about which was stressful and frustrating because this problem exists almost every time I drive the vehicle, regardless of how long my trip. Driving this truck has now become a safety hazard as I almost got struck by other vehicles on more than one occasion. When I pull out from a traffic light or any business establishment, I have to keep tapping the gas peddle to get the truck moving and it doesn't move, leaving me stranded in the intersection. When the truck does move, it jerks so hard that it gives you "whiplash". This jerking motion continues during the duration of my trip, including my hour-long drive both to and from work. I took my Ford to another mechanic on December 19, 2023. The establishment sent one of their technicians to ride along with me to experience the problem for himself. I drove out of the driveway for just a few feet when again, I kept tapping the gas pedal to get the truck to move and when it did, the truck jerked violently. The technician saw what he wanted to see. I get no warning lights or messages about the failure. The technician said it was a transmission problem that he has been seeing with the years of 2017-2019 F-150 and Ford is aware of the problem but does nothing about it.
Approximately 2 weeks after purchasing the truck I noticed some harsh shifting, jerking, and sudden acceleration, and hesitation issues. They were intermittent and I was advised this is not uncommon with this model vehicle. However, these issues have become more frequent and severe. Next, I noticed the gears began slipping and the truck seemed to not be able to “find” the gear it needed to be in. The transmission would slam into gear or begin slipping under acceleration. There is no rhyme or reason to it, I have not been able to pinpoint it to a specific gear or up/down shift. It simply loses power and neither the gas nor brake work. It will coast until the wrench (check engine?) symbol comes on and then the gas will function. This week the transmission has started intermittently locking into a specific gear without the ability to shift. It’s now happened 3 times. You cannot reverse or drive, the transmission puts itself in park while the dash still indicates its in drive or reverse. After parking the truck for a couple of hours, I could start and drive as usual. Most importantly, twice Saturday the truck seemed to shift out of gear, so hard my head hit the steering wheel, and lost power going 70mph on I64. I have attempted to video these events to help diagnose the issues, but obviously driving and recording are dangerous and difficult.

Truck uses an excessive amount of oil that would not be corrected by Ford. Due to this issue the truck failed to operate normally.

The vehicle is a 10 speed automatic, while driving the vehicle when it gets to about 4th gear, the transmission slips. This vehicle was purchased brand new and has only 64,000 miles on it. The transmission slips and at lower speeds when the transmission slips and hesitates before it shifts to another gear, this is a safety issue as while the vehicle semi stalls causes the potential to be rear ended by a trailing vehicle. This vehicle manufacturer should stop selling these transmissions that have serious issues with them. Surely when you purchase a brand new vehicle you don’t expect to have any problems with it at four years into ownership.

My 2019 F150 with the 10 speed transmission has several issues that I believe affect the safety and reliability of the vehicle: 1) The transmission shifts very roughly into 5th gear. The shifts are so rough that I suspect the other components of the drive train are being placed under unnecessary strain. 2) When moving forward at idle the truck will on occasion surge forward. This is a potential safety issue if it were to occur in traffic. 3) When moving forward at slow speeds the transmission periodically slips as if it was shifted into neutral. My local dealership "flashed" the software for the transmission but it did not correct the problem. I returned the truck to the dealership and they've now had it for 2 months with no resolution to the problem.

Requested Ford fill out a NHTSA report many times to include an ethics complaint from March to July 2023 and I feel I have been misled and they have not reported this issue. I have requested a root cause be performed as to how an engine fails after 13 visits (in 2 years) at 66k miles and feel that the issue is trying to be covered up, get a new engine in, and get rid of the old one with zero due diligence as to what occurred. 65+ maintenance record pages provided to Ford, an overview of event with maps attached, video of scenario sent, to no avail.

Upon cold start up their is a significant rattling for 5-10 seconds, Started around 60K miles. when driving there is a lag in performance for first few miles. Consistent with Cam Phaser failure with F150 3.5 eco boost engine. This problem has been reported to Ford and CSP 21N03 explains the exact problem. Ford claim my VIN isn't covered under this Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03.
In March of 2022, Ford launched a TSB campaign for its F150 model trucks spanning a few years. The TSB was for a Cam Phaser issue and the company offered an extended mileage warranty with a tiered coverage chart based on your current miles while experiencing the problem. The campaign ended January of 2023. I own a 2019 F-150 and my truck began having the issues under the TSB in April of 2023. When I brought the issue to the Ford dealership, I was then informed of the open TSB (TSB's are not made public, but rather opened up for mechanics use to easily diagnose an issue). I was told that due to my mileage as well as missing the 'expiration of the campaign' by just a few months, I would have to cover the cost of the repair. After battling with Ford, I was able to gain some assistance from the dealership towards the cost of the repair. My truck was dropped off to a Ford dealership on May 8th, 2023 and is still there awaiting parts for this KNOWN issue. There are roughly 40,000 parts for this issue that are on backorder. I was updated yesterday that the parts are still 2-3 weeks out from being available. Not having my vehicle for close to 3 months now and still being expected to pay $750 for a repair with an active TSB is absurd. At what point does this issue constitute a recall? I am writing and requesting that this issue be a known recall to the affected trucks. For a consumer to have to pay for a cost that is out of their control, and a known/acknowledged issue by the dealer/company, especially with a 40,000 part backorder-- there should be no reason myself, or anyone else should have to pay any cost to fix the problem. Please let me know what can or needs to be done further to try and have this TSB converted to a recall on these affected F-150s.

Beginning 3 months ago, intermittently during in-town traffic driving, the vehicle will shut off. It happened about once a month. Three weeks ago when it did this, it said Low Charging System, so I took it to the dealer where purchased it. The Alternator tested Low, so it was replaced. Two weeks later, it died at a stoplight again & at Idle, then the Dash Message said Disengage Auto-Shut Off and Restart Engine. I called the dealer where purchased it & they came and got it. They tested it for a couple days & also had several people drive it, and they said it did fine with the Auto-Shut Off Turned On. Well this afternoon I drove it local around my own town, and it's still runs rough. It idles rough and is acting like it wants to die again at stoplights. I only way to be comfortable driving it is with the Auto-Shut-Off Disabled. In traffice at a redlight that turns green, and if you're stalled out, it's going to cause a rear-end collision. Not to mention it's hard on the battery and alternator having to keep restarting at intermittent intervals in traffic. The dealer said they drove it around their lot area, however, it doesn't do it unless drive it for 45 minutes or an hour. When discussed this with 3 area Ford Dealers, they all said it's going to be hard to find. There's no Check Engine Light or any sort of Code that can be used. They also stated it's probably something small causing it. One specific dealer stated that something else is causing this issue, and until that is found and fixed, it's going to keep doing it. The dealer that's been handling this and purchased from, did a Factory Reset on the PCM.

On July 14, 2022, I took my F150 to Ford and it was determined that the 10 speed transmission was going to need to be replaced. I had 60,400 miles on it when it starts having major malfunction going on in the Powertrain. At the time the transmission replacement was being done, it was Ford’s knowledge that the Cam phasers were not functioning correctly.. causing sudden jerk and knocking.. Cam Phasers we’re not replace last year nor looked at, even though I told them that there was sudden jerks happening. It was under warranty at that time (last year). Ford also knew that reprogramming the trucks software, does not correct any of the problems that they are having. Now at 70,000 miles I’m going back in to, Southwest Ford in Hudson Oaks, Texas, to get these parts replaced as soon as they are available. They are requesting $700 (just like when the transmission was replaced). Which it is my opinion that the total amount should be covered-$1800.
PowerTrain Malfunction Failed, notification on my vehicle appeared on 4/28/23, although I had been notifying dealer for 3 months prior the safety issue I was experiencing, and nearly got killed on a major interstate, on 4/26/23 my truck stalled as foot pedal would not work. Major safety of semi-trucks and other vehicles on main I30 Interstate were trying to avoid hitting me due to my vehicle abruptly downshifts from 10- to 1st gear. Foot pedal inoperable during that time. Yes, the dealer and Ford on 4/28/23 provided me a rental vehicle after my near collision experience until they figure out what to do, replace transmission or rebuild, unresolved. No the vehicle had no warnings, but did have symptons, which I took to dealer and they ran a diagnostic, and found nothing, they said there are TSBs out there with the downshifting issues, and stalling, jerking of transmission. But they said just wait it out initially, and I had to call Ford Corporate relations and raise the roof, after I nearly got killed by semi trucks from being stuck in a major interstate highway. December 2022 when it began, the dealer kept doing a reset, which seemed to make it worse, then when I told them how unsafe it was they ignored me, until April 26th when I left a voice mail after nearly being killed. I demanded service as I have a warranty and they ignored the symptoms for so long. Multiple people could have been killed on the interstate when my truck stalled, I had to try and coast to the side of interstate as the truck foot pedal did not work after downshifting from 8 to 1.
I approached a stop sign on a downhill descent and as I approached, the auto StartStop shut off my motor and I lost control of the vehicle. I could not steer and the brakes were squishy. I started rolling in to oncoming traffic. When I looked down at the dashboard it read, “Auto StartStop Shift to P, then Restart Engine.” I have a picture of the alert.
After purchasing my 2019 Ford F150 equipped with a V8 engine I noticed a loud knocking or tapping noise coming from the engine and a large consumption of oil happening. With no visible leaks I was putting about 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil a month in the engine to keep it filled. Loosing that much oil so fast could cause the engine to experience a catastrophic engine failure at any driving speed causing danger to me, my family, or other drivers on the road. Not to mention the environmental impacts caused by the engine burning so much oil so fast in possibly thousand of trucks across the country. I scheduled service with a Ford dealership. I have taken the truck in twice to have it looked at. Dealership has performed several service bulletins on it but it is still making a knocking and tapping noise and using excess amounts of oil. I have been told by ford dealership that they are aware of the problem and unable to determine if, or when, problem will be able to be fixed. This seems unacceptable knowing the truck is still under factory warranty. I have looked for answers online and found this engine in 2018-2021 Ford F-150 trucks is causing the same problem for a HUGE amount of other Ford truck owners as well.

I got the truck with 10,00 miles and currently have 47,000 miles. I have been having oil burning issues since the beginning, but it has gotten worse. When I was adding the oil myself before having the dealership do it I was having to add almost 4 qts per 5-6 thousand miles. I have been taking it to the dealership every 1000 miles for oil consumption test. Typically, my oil burns over 1/2 qt per 1000 miles so the dealership claims. I have also claimed about harsh shifting and clunking noises. Most recently I took it in for the harsh shifting of the transmission and 4 wheel drive while the did the oil test. They reflashed the transmission and topped off the oil. The dealership then forgot to put the oil cap back on (I didn't think I had to check their work) the next day after a short drive there was oil all over my engine, electrical systems, battery, suspension and underbody because of the missing cap. They took the truck back and then claimed only a 1/2 qt was gone. The dealership after a few days tells me it is all cleaned and ready to go. I got the truck with oil all over the place. So they keep the truck yet again, few days later I get the truck back and my truck is shifting worse in some ways now than before the flash. Today I had to take the truck in for an engine light about the catalytic converter failing. While they had the truck there it then gave a bunch of codes of powertrain body control all related to lack of power and powertrain failure. displaying a bunch of red lights including a gear wrench on the instrument cluster. These only appeared after the tech scan the first code. The dealership now has my truck yet again and have said it will be at least a few days.

On Monday, January 9, 2023 the vehicle shut off while driving in traffic, and was difficult to restart. It seemed like the battery was dead, but it wasn’t. This incident happened again within about a 15 minute time Period. Safety was obviously put at risk as this happened in a major metropolitan area, Miami, on the road during rush hour. The dealer has had the vehicle for the last two weeks, but was not able to reproduce the problem and cannot find anything wrong. When the vehicle shut off, a warning came up on the dash which said “auto stop, put the truck in park and restart the engine.” But again, it did not want to turn over to restart, and only did so with difficulty.
cam phaser recall performed by dealer prior to 36k miles. at 36k miles, returned to dealer with same rattle noise from engine, dealer said was noise from backpressure at exhaust near turbo. at 40k miles, engine failed in middle of intersection. Advised by dealer the engine is total loss and will need to be replaced, declined to agree that the cam phaser timing chain was the result, stated that the issue was in the lower end of the engine, which is where the oil pump is....that runs off the timing chain. prior to the failure, I experienced slight power loss, complete momentary power loss shifting between gears 2 and 3, slight knocking noise from the engine that mimicked a diesel engine sound, as well as the stated rattle noise.
11-Jan-2023 18:01 CST approximate temperature 47F. Commuting home the vehicle was driven approximately 30 minutes on the highway. Stopped for fast food and it was turned off for less than 10 minutes. Restarted without issue drove out to a stop light to make a left turn. Auto start-stop turned off the engine but failed to restart. Put vehicle in park vehicle would not restart normally, and multiple restart attempts failed. Restarted vehicle with an jump start battery pack. Drove straight to Autozone and battery tested fully charged on printed receipt. Vehicle restarted normally twice in parking lot. Drove home battery tested 12.7 volts with multimeter. I don't suspect that the battery is the issue. The vehicle battery management system should detect a low battery and disable auto start-stop. My preference is not to have to work under the hood in the middle of traffic in the dark.
Auto stop start shift to P then restart engine message came up . Vehicle stopped while in drive almost causing an accident. Very unsafe condition.
The truck cut off while rolling up to a stop sign. And an error code came up the dash.

I own a 2019 Ford Raptor with 62,000 miles. At 27,000 I had warranty cam phasers replaced under warranty. I just had same issue come up again at 62,000 miles and ford dealership mak haik in Jackson Ms is saying it’s not warranty because I didn’t bring truck in for an update that I knew nothing about. My extended warranty CNA National has turned my claim down also because they followed my dealerships decision. The cam phasers on f150 eco boost are a bad problem for this truck and it should be a recall and definitely fixed at no cost to customers. I’m without a ride as of now and I owe 4 more years on this truck. They are expecting me to pay 3,800 to fix it while others that noticed a letter are repaired. This is not right!!!
Vehicle stalls at idle when coming to a stop and turning into intersections
It present at this moment engine light on and off all time, it had a power train damaged, I bought a new transmission 5 month ago, at this time it has deactivated adaptative Cruise control, automatic emergency brakes, forward collision warning, and it has a power train problem again.
The oil is disappearing, I have no idea where it’s going, the local dealer says they don’t know where it’s going. If it gets sent to the catalytic converter it’s going to mess it up and pollute. I’m looking online and i see that a lot of people with the v8 engine are having the same problem.
I purchased a 2019 Ford F-150 from AutoNation Ford in Panama City, Florida in 2020, along with a bumper-to-bumper warranty through The Ford Motor Company, covering the car until 140,000 miles. Over the last 20 months my truck has been back to AutoNation at least 5 times for various mechanical issues. To their credit, each time the Service Department was eventually able to resolve each issue. During this week's 4.5 hour visit to the Service Center I was informed that my engine is faulty (Google "F150 oil consumption problem") and needs to be replaced; it survived less than 80,000 miles. Replacing an engine is a hassle, but I have a warranty and Ford is a trustworthy American company that makes America proud. Unfortunately, I was told that Ford is not allowing any existing customers to get on a list for replacing my particular engine (5.0L V8). Ok, but I have a warranty through Ford . That has to be worth something, because it cost me +$3,000, and Ford sticks by its products and their commitments/promises can be believed and they told me it covers a rental car if there is ever anything that takes more than a day to fix on my truck. Surprise, the warranty apparently only provides a rental car for a maximum of 5 days, and I could be waiting for 12 months or longer. No offer of loaner, a way to expedite the repair, someone to call, any kind of help…just, “sorry, we’ll let you know if Ford starts letting people back on the list, until then, you’re on your own.” The options provided by Ford: 1) Drive with your check engine light on (engine sometimes stalling) and top off the synthetic oil every week or so until the engine inevitably fails 2) Rent a car and pay out of pocket for all but 5 days for a potential +12-month delay for Ford to fix my truck 3) Shine a light on their dishonest business practices in hopes that either a regulatory authority or enough public shame will force Ford to stand by their word and their product. This is disappointing, frustrating, unsafe,

I have a 2019 Ford F150 with a 5.0 liter motor with approx 42k miles. I maintain my vehicles and I check my oil in between oil changes. It is always low and I do not have any oils leaks. I discussed it with the service advisor at Bo Beukman Ford and the service advisor told me it is normal for oil consumption in between oil changes???? Maybe on a 10 year old truck, but not a 2-3 year old truck! I recently googled this issue and found TSB 19-2365 and I discussed it with my service advisor and they told me I could bring it in and they would check it, but TSB would be at my cost! Seriously? After my last oil change, I took pics of the dipstick a couple days after the service was completed that I can send you. What if people think the oil is low and add 2-3 quarts to bring it up, all because their engineers designed it with a short dipstick? That is ridiculous. This should be a recall.
Driving back from, San Antonio, Tx., to Millsap, Tx., in my 2019 Ford F-150 truck, I experienced down shifting and up shifting hard. It was making driving very difficult and dangerous. My Ford App alerted me that there was a Powertrain Malfunction. The little wrench light came on the dash indicating Powertrain problems. I was very concerned for my safety. I have turned it into, Southwest Ford, in, Hudson Oaks, Texas. I was not told that this was an issue with this year model, nor have I received anything in the mail about it. The Ford Dealership above was where I bought the truck and all the oil changes, ect., have been done. I have researched this problem and have come across a class action lawsuit that describes what happened with my truck. Ford has not notified me to this problem. What else should I do to resolve this?
This vehicle has a 2.7 eco boost engine that is junk. It has been at Summit Ford from March 8, 2022 and is still there as of 6-17-2022. The vehicle has had to be taken back 2 times within this time frame. The motor looses compression on cylinder 5 which we have dumped 781.43 out of pocket and extended warranty has paid 1028.00. The last time I picked it up from the dealership I got 20 miles and it loss compression. I turned back and took it to the dealership. I told them it did the same thing. Since returning it we now find out it loss compression in cylinder 5 and now needs a new motor. The vehicle has 78168 miles, all highway miles. Ford has agreed to pay $5,000 towards engine and remaining balance is owed by us. Ford has issues with this 2.7. A 2016 f150 has been in the shop several times, mine has also and the ford broncos coming out of production doesn’t even make it 1000 miles and looses compression. In order to get my vehicle to drive and get the wrench light to come off, we would have to pull over, turn vehicle off, turn it back on and continue driving until the next time it loss compression. This is a safety hazard as you loose compression it could cause the vehicles behind you to hit you or if you needed to pull off to the side of the road, loosing compression could cause you to get hit causing accidents trying to pull over.

A battery and wrench symbol appeared. I almost was t-boned as a result of the malfunction.\ I bought the vehicle at Causeway Ford in Manahawkin with 62,000 miles and have only had it for a month. I took vehicle there for repair on March 30th. The dealership claimed they performed a hard reset and was able to correct the issue. I had the vehicle for 12 days since, and the issue reoccured almost causing another accident. I am furious.
UNKOWN My truck will lose power when hitting the gas. The rpms' rev up and then after a second it kicks back in. The 10 speed transmission continues to be very jerky and unsmooth. I asked the dealer and was told that's the number 1 complaint but there's nothing they can do about. The loss of power while pushing the gas to go is the biggest safety concern for me.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, he heard an abnormal loud rattling sound coming from the engine. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an oil leak in the engine compartment and also that the 4-wheel drive had failed. The dealer reprogrammed the PCM under an unknown recall; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer - Ted Britt Ford of Fairfax (11165 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, VA 22030) where it was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

My truck rough idles and shakes violently and then stalls and an error comes up in the dash telling me “auto startstop shift to P then restart engine” Has happened numerous times. Truck currently has 44,xxx miles. This is extremely dangerous at any light, turning intersection, or stop sign. I have read many online threads through online forums of this happening in other f150s to no avail from owners and dealers alike.
I have had the engine shut off while driving … due to the code auto start stop shift to park… I could’ve been in an accident this is the 4th time this has happened. Fix this issue
Motor made rattle then Loud motor noise, lost of oil pressure. Pull in lot and parked vehicle.
Recent oil analysis(mid October 2021) indicates a greater than 5% fuel dilution. The Cummins ASTM method of testing only permits a greater than 5% statement so fuel dilution could be much higher. First sample a year ago indicated 3% dilution. Many factors could contribute to this per research and I had advised Ford dealer with printed reports and they would not do anything at all about this stating it is standard. Oil report indicates a "severe" issue. Ford dealer wouldn't even look into possible causes to rule out. I have concern for a possible engine compartment fire/explosion might happen or possible degradation of engine leading to other possible incidents. Reports and vehicle are available. No indicator lamps or other means to know of this issue without independent testing of oil samples. Fuel mileage is averaging 17MPG.
Cam phasers - after the Ford dealership applied recall 21B10, the engine will shut off at undesirable times, causing a stall and making driving unsafe. This is in addition to serious knocking at engine start, and additional shudder during normal driving conditions and while idling. This recall repair has made things much worse and should be avoided.
Under acceleration, after the engine warms up, it begins to have a severe issue with spark knock clatter which causes a loss of power due to improper computer ignition timing adjustments.
seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism not adequately restrain The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat Transmission shifts extremely hard. It clunks most of the time when I turn the vehicle on. Often, when I shift from park to drive the trunk lurches forward even with my foot pressed down all the way on the break. It's in the ford dealer right now and all they can find is low transmission fluid. Although I've never had a warning light or anything on before. dropping from 10th gear to 5th gear when cruise is set and accelerator is pressed Truck will set advanced traction control warning off and slam so hard into 5th gear you are destructed looking to see if you were in a accident.. I have videos that were provided to Ford Motor Company and have had in 2 Ford dealership s 3 times for repairs.Ford Motor Company has 2 engineer cases opened on truck the second case they told dealership it was my fault with the abrupt shifting slamming and traction control warning at 72 mph on interstate. Ford refuses to address the safety issue. It is a hazard to me and passengers in my vehicle as well as the motoring public. Ford motor company has been notified they can assume liability if I am in a accident and someone is injured due to their negligence or refusal to fix defect. Truck has had issues since around 3500 on the odometer it now has 16,567 miles currently.This as well as any other erratic shifting complaints with said 10R180 should be fully investigated and taken seriously because it will and I am sure has contributed to crashes!!!! The vehicle has the technology package which allows you to start /stop the vehicle with an app in your phone. I assume the motor has bluetooth attached to it. The problem is that when your driving the vehicle will just shut down. Once this happens you have to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the engine.
While driving on a residential street the vehicle turned off and displayed “auto startstop shift to P then restart”. This happened several times until I pulled into my driveway.
MY 2019 FORD F150 HAS A RECALL FOR THE PHASER NOCKING BUT LIVERMORE FORD DON'T WANT TO FIX IT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FROM FORD CORPORATE, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK AND I CAN NOT SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE KNOCKING NOISE. I AM STUCK WITH 30K TRUCK, PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FROM FORD

I PURCHASED A LEFT OVER 2019 IN JUNE 2020. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT FROM A SERVICE ADVISOR. THE VEHICLE'S POWERTRAIN IS JERKY WHEN SLOWING DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE A KICK WHEN IS GOES FROM GEAR TO GEAR UP OR DOWN SHIFTING. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD BANG UPON START UP. I VIDEO TAPED IT, THE DRIVE SHAFT TWIST UPON START UP. SEEMS UNSAFE IF THE DRIVE PIN IS THE ONLY THING HOLD A 7000 LBS VEHICLE OR IF YOU START IN NEUTRAL. OVERALL THE PCM NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION STRATEGY APPLIED. VERY POOR ON FORD'S BEHALF.

NOTICED DURING SUMMER 2020 MONTHS THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING AT STOP WOULD VIBRATE AND TACHOMETER WOULD BOUNCE.

THE LAST TIME IT DID IT I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE JULY.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND THE TRUCK IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD.

ON DEC 9 WHILE TAKING OFF FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT DRIVING AT AROUND 5MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DID NOT ACCELERATE.., THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, BRAKES WARNING LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AS I DID NOT EXPECT MY TRUCK TO SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. AT THIS TIME THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY DRIVE AT 5MPH. DROVE TO THE DEALER AT 5 MPH AND THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON DEC 10 IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. SUDDENLY THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND AGAIN ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. TODAY FOR THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ON EACH OCCASION THE DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM HOWEVER THEY DID REMOVE CODES NOT PERTAINING TO THE SYMPTOMS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM A QUART LOW AT JUST UNDER 2000 MI. TIMING CHAIN RATTLE DURING DECELERATION WHEN COLD. WARPED DASH PANEL PASSENGER SIDE.
ON TUESDAY 11/5/19, WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 45 MPH WHEN I DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CITY STREET. I HAD ACCELERATED BACK UP TO AROUND 30 MPH WHEN I CROSS OVER A RELATIVELY SMOOTH RAILROAD CROSSING AT A SLIGHT LEFT HAND TURN. IMMEDIATELY THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE CONSOLE START DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ALERTS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING. WHILE THE ENGINE DID NOT CUT OFF, THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE POWERTRAIN AND EVENTUALLY WE ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FIRE ALERTS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE MESSAGES STILL FIRED SO I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ALERT MESSAGES HAD CEASED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE HOUSE (APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES) AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO ISSUE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN NEXT DAY (26 MILES) WITH NO ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, OUR FORD PASS APP HAD CAPTURED ALL THE ALERTS AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. WE PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN LEFT ONTO A SIDE ROAD. WE HIT A SMALL HUMP WHERE THE SIDE ROAD MEETS THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN THE ALERTS STARTING FIRING AND THE TRUCK LOST PROPULSION. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF AND THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. WE PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WOULD LIKE FOR FORD TO ASSESS THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE BEYOND THE DEALERSHIP'S CAPABILITIES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE SEVERAL OF THE ALERTS REPRESENTED LOSS OF SAFETY FUNCTIONS INCLUDING BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERTRAIN FAILURE, AND OTHERS WE FEEL THIS ISSUE REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. SEVERAL OF THE F150 FORUMS HAVE SHOWN OTHER USERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.
