2017 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE A HOSE COMES OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES AN ALARM AND CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS TO FAIL. THIS CHRONIC FAILURE PUTS THE PASSENGER AT RISK ANY TIME IT DECIDES TO FAIL. IF THE DRIVER DOES NOTE THE SMALL LIGHT, THEY COULD OPERATE FOR YEARS WITH NO PASSENGER PROTECTION. THIS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY FIXED. TWICE IN TWO MONTHS IS A CHRONIC FAILURE AND MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW.. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT IS THAT WAY MOVING, STANDING STILL OR IDLING.

THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, UPON GETTING IT BACK THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP ADEQUATELY, AND IT WAS RETURNED AT THAT MOMENT. THEY "BLED THE BRAKES" AGAIN AND RETURNED IT. THERE WAS ONLY 1 WORK ORDER FOR THIS. THE TRUCK SAT FOR A WEEK AND NOT THE BRAKES ARE SOFT AND INCONSISTENT. I RETURNED IT TO FORD AND THEY STATED IT WAS WORKING AS EXPECTED; HOWEVER IN A PANIC STOP THE BRAKES FAILED TO DO MORE THAN 50% STOP EFFORT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND HAD HARDLY ANY BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. SINCE THEY DID NOT TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE THERE IS NO RECORD OF THIS THIRD ATTEMPT TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED. I THEN CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEIR ANSWER IS JUST TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND IT FALLS OUTSIDE THE RECALL NOTICE FOR A REPLACEMENT MASTER CYLINDER. HOWEVER THAT IS THE INITIAL FAILURE. I SUSPECT ADDITIONAL ISSUES; BUT FORD IS FAILING TO ADDRESS THEM.

ON 08/07/2017 WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 281 IN SAN ANTONIO, TX MY 2017 FORD F-150, V8 SUPER CREW, 4X4 FTX EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE ACTIVATION AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT TWO LANES TO AVOID IMPACTING THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP AFTER TRAVELLING SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING (NOISE, SERVICE LIGHTS, ETC.) PRIOR TO, DURING OR AFTER THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD WITH 6400 MILES ON IT. IF THERE WAS NO SHOULDER OR CLEAR LANES IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT LIKELY RESULTING IN INJURIES. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY MAKE MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SIDE ROADS BUT EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE I WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP SIGN FACING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PUMP IT SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP AGAIN. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR AND MISSED MY TURN (RIGHT) AND PROCEEDED PAST THE TURN APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AND HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THEY INDICATED IT WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY AND GAVE NO EXPLANATION WHY A SERVICE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNING DID NOT COME ON AND THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR THAT PART.

SUDDEN LOSS BRAKES IN A HARD STOP. THERE ARE VIDEOS EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM WHERE THE ABS UNIT GOES INTO BYPASS AND FOR ONE WHEEL; BUT THEN THE VALUE DOES NOT RESET. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, AND TO MY WIFE ONCE. TAKING OUT THE ABS FUSE, AND THEREBY DISABLING THE FUNCTION SOLVES THE PROBLEM, AS THE BYPASS VALVE WILL NOT ENGAGE. HOWEVER YOU LOSE THE MANDATED FEATURE OF ABS. DETAILED EXPLANATION FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0R46_UNYYK8. THIS STARTED AT 7,500 MILES AND CONTINUED UNTIL I DISABLED THE FEATURE WHEN FORD COULD NOT ISOLATE AND FIX THE ISSUE.

THE AUTO SHUT OFF SYSTEM WHEN YOU STOP WHEN THE BREAK IS APPLIED. THERE IS NO WAY TO PERMANENTLY SHUT THIS SYSTEM OFF. YOU CAN HIT A BUTTON EACH TIME YOU START THE VEHICLE, IN THE MANUEL IT DOES STAT YOU CAN TURN IT OFF BUT DOING AS IT STATES DOES NOT TURN IT OFF PERMANENTLY. WHEN NEEDING TO TAKE OFF QUICKLY OR IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN SO YOU NEED TO LET UP OFF THE BREAK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY FOR THE OWNER TO SHUT THIS BUTTON OFF PERMANENTLY IF THEY SO CHOOSE. I DON'T SEE WHERE THIS TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME IS SAVING FUEL AND GOOD ON THE STARTER.

WIND NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM BOTH FRONT DOORS. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NEW ALUMINUM BODY BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AT RANDOM.

I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT AROUND 35MPH. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WITHIN 2 MINUTES WE NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE B PILLAR. MYSELF, ONE WITNESS, AND ONE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ALL SAW WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. THE TRUCK FRONT AND CAB WERE TOTALLY BURNED UP WITHIN 5 MINUTES. NO ONE WAS HURT DUE TO THE FIRE.

THE CURRENT F150 IS NEARLY INVISIBLE FROM DIRECTLY BEHIND. THE LED RUNNING LIGHTS ONLY MAKE UP MAYBE 2% OF THE REAR END AREA, ARE FAR APART, AND APPEAR SO DIM FROM DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT THE TRUCKS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN FOG OR POOR LIGHTING. THE TAILS LIKE MIGHT LOOK BIG ENOUGH IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, HOWEVER NOT FROM BEHIND DIRECTLY.

I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN I NEED TO MAKE A HARD STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HELP SLOW ME DOWN. WHILE THERE IS SOME BRAKING, IF YOU ARE STOPPED AND PUSH HARD ON THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR.

I OWN A 2017 FORD F150 4X4 WITH THE 3.5 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK HOME, WE NOTICED A VERY LOUD CLUNK THAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL HAVE SAID THAT THE CLUNK IS NORMAL AND THAT ITS JUST THE TRANSMISSION "LOADING UP". THIS SAME CLUNK IS ALSO HAPPENING ON 2018 F150S AS WELL, WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO AFFECT THE LONG TERM SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, SINCE METAL STRIKING METAL IS NEVER A GOOD THING WHEN IT COMES TO AUTOMOBILES. HERE IS A LINK TO THE FORD F150 FORUMS WHERE MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ON 2017 AND 2018 F150'S: HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/SINGLE-CLUNK-WHEN-STARTING-ENGINE-383628/INDEX7/ HERE ARE SOME VIDEO LINKS I POSTED ON YOUTUBE, THE FIRST IS OF A 2018 F150 4X4 I RENTED WHILE ON VACATION MAY 2018, V8 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND VIDEO IS OF MY TRUCK MAKING THE SAME CLUNK, WHICH CAN BE HEARD FROM A DISTANCE (YOU MIGHT NEED TO TURN UP THE SOUND ON THIS ONE). THE 3RD VIDEO IS MY TRUCK AS WELL, NOTE HOW THE DRIVESHAFT MOVES ON ENGINE START. THE 4TH IS MY TRUCK PARKED ON AN INCLINE RESTING ON THE TRANSMISSION. NOTE THAT THE DRIVESHAFT DOESN'T MOVE, BUT THE CLUNK CAN STILL BE HEARD. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/UYIIA29XT68 HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/5FGKIOLHCEU HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/PECOO6ABV3A HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/O8U0SDNAGS0

2017 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VIBRATION ISSUES. *LD *JS

WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK, WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE RESTING ON THE TRANSMISSION'S PARKING PAWL, OR RESTING ON THE PARKING BRAKE, WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED, THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT CLUNK THAT CAN BE HEARD. IT CAN VARY FROM NO CLUNK TO A VERY LOUD CLUNK THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM 40FT OR MORE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS HOT, COLD, DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES OR LONG DISTANCES, ON AN INCLINE OR NOT. THE 3 DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPRODUCED THE ISSUE, BUT HAVE CALLED IT NORMAL OR A CHARACTERISTIC. ONE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DIRECTOR SAYS HIS DEMO VEHICLES MAKE THE SAME NOISE AND THAT ADDING BIGGER TIRES AND A LIFT KIT MADE IT WORSE. HE ALSO SAID AND I QUOTE "BECAUSE ITS NOT ABNORMAL, THERE IS NO FIX". HE STATED THAT FORD TECHLINE SAYS ITS NORMAL AS WELL.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP COMPLETELY SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL CEASE MOVEMENT. NO MATTER HOW GREAT OR HOW LITTLE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES, AND EACH TIME I ENTER MY GARAGE I SMELL GASOLINE. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE "EASY FUEL" CAPLESS FUEL TANK FILLER. IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED, AND NO FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE CAP OR NEAR IT IN THE BOTTOM. SEEMS LIKE GAS VAPOR IS EXITING THROUGH THE CAP AND FILLING MY GARAGE WITH FUMES.

PURCHASED VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS MORNING I WAS SLOWING THE VEHICLE AT A STOP LIGHT. ONCE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE PEDAL IT WOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. PROBLEM PERSISTED SO VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CONTINUOS PUMPING DID VERY LITTLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO SARASOTA FORD IN SARASOAT FL.

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE CROSS TRAFFIC AND BLIND SPOT SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE PARTS, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE.

ENGINE STALLS AT STOP (AFTER LETTING UP ON BRAKE AND AUTO START STOP RE-STARTS THE ENGINE) FOLLOWED BY "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" ERROR FLASHES ALONG WITH OTHER BRAKE RELATED ERRORS; VEHICLE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER/START UNLESS TRANSMISSION IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. UPON RESTARTING ALL ENGINE ERROR/FAULT MESSAGES ARE CLEARED AND THINGS SEEM BACK TO NORMAL. TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 7 DAYS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS SHOULD IT HAPPEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO LIVERMORE FORD AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 F150 LARIET PICKUP TRUCK, THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPT WITH AN ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE. THE TAIL GATE HAS OPENED ON ME ON AT LEAST A DOZEN OCCASIONS.WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER WITH NO SATIFACTION THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO ANWER HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND THAT THERE WHERE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THAT THERE WAS AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AND IT IS STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND. THERE IS NO WHY TO DISABLE THE TAILGATE LOCK AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE GATE IS OPEN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND UNNERVING PROBLEM THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MANDATED TO CORRECT. BEFORE AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER IS HURT OR KILLED FROM CARGO FLYING OUT OF THE BED OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS AGAIN NO WAY TO LOCK THE TAILGATE...

Why is nothing being done with the ford 10R80 transmission and the shifting issues. I would hate to have my transmission lock up on the highway, because ford says it's normal for the loud clunking and banging when is shifts I see there are many class action suits involved in this issue but still Ford is doing nothing

WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN 200M WHILE TRYING TO SLOW, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. WHILE USING EMERGENCY BRAKE, LARGE PUFF OF SMOKE CAME FROM EXHAUST

DAKOTA TRAVELING 50-55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 95 HIT FORD TRAVELING 20 MPH NEAR EXIT RAMP CAUSING FORD TO HIT CADILLAC TRAVELING 10MPH CAUSING CADILLAC TO HIT MURANO, RESULTING IN 4 CAR ACCIDENT. 2017 FORD TOOK BRUNT OF HITS DUE TO SPEED OF DAKOTA. 2017 FORD DEEMED TOTALED. AIRBAGS ON 2017 FORD DID NOT DEPLOY, THOUGH SENSORS APPEARED ACTIVATED--SEE PHOTOS THAT SHOW LIGHTS ON. ALL INTERVIEWED AT BODYSHOP, INSURANCE ADJUSTER ETC. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE FORCE OF HITS ON BOTH SIDES, DAMAGE, AND SENSORS ACTIVATED.

TOOK DELIVERY 5/8. CALLED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5/17 TO SEE ABOUT ROUGH IDLE AND A FEW MINOR COSMETIC ISSUES. DROPPED OFF 5/25, SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED 5/26 TO TELL ME IT IS BLOWING OIL THROUGH THE PISTONS AND THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADS PER A TSB. I STARTED RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND FORD TSB 17-0007. SEEMS THAT F-150S MADE BETWEEN JUNE AND OCTOBER 2016 MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN PLUGS THE TRUCK INTO THE DAGNOSTICS MACHINE AND IF YOUR VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE ONES, IT EITHER GIVES A CODE FOR HEAD REPLACEMENT OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES WAITING TO BE SOLD BEFORE CHECKING A CODE? HERE I HAVE A MONTH OLD "NEW" VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN DOWN LONGER THAN DRIVEN. I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH FORD CORPORATE SINCE 5/30 REQUESTING EITHER A NEW ENGINE OR VEHICLE. REPLACING THE HEADS SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION WHEN A CONSUMER HAS 400 MILES ON AN ENGINE. SHOULD BE GETTING AN ANSWER FROM FORD IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, BUT STILL, IF I AM FORCED TO ACCEPT NEW HEADS, THE REDUCTION IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE WILL BE TREMENDOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V053000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS CORRUPTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,801.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY FORD LINCOLN OF RICHMOND (10601 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23235, (804) 293-2212) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST CODES WERE LOCATED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR AND THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO, DURING ANOTHER VISIT, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THREE ALIGNMENTS WERE PERFORMED BETWEEN DEALER VISITS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS RELUCTANTLY CHECKING THE STEERING AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED DUE TO THE AUTO-START-STOP FEATURE. I WAS SITTING IN AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC WITH THE ENGINE AUTO-STOPPED. I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THE STEERING WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE WHEEL. IT CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS CONDITION IS VERY REPEATABLE. IF THERE IS ANY PRE-LOAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE AUTO-START RESTARTS THE ENGINE, IT TAKES THE STEERING SEVERAL SECONDS TO BECOME ACTIVE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I'M GIVING THE TRUCK GAS TO GO INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING IS EFFECTIVELY DISABLED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I'VE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK IN FOR MAINTENANCE SINCE THAT COMPLAINT AND NO CORRECTIVE MEASURE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED OR OFFERED. WITH THIS DEFECT, I'M LEFT TO MANUALLY DEACTIVATE THE AUTO-START-STOP FEATURE EVERY TIME I'M IN A SITUATION WHERE I THINK I'LL NEED STEERING INPUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER I RELEASE THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE TRUCK THAT CREATES A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE STEERING IS NOT AVAILABLE DURING FORWARD MOTION OF THE VEHICLE.

Noticed 6months after purchase on our way to Juneau Alaska from Arizona. I was driving my 2017 F150 and pulling a 8’x12’ toy hauler trailer on freeway doing 65 mph, I merged lanes to get off the freeway on off ramp. I took my foot off the accelerator got about half way down ramp and the transmission did major downshift to like second gear. Didn’t know what to expect so I just changed it from tow haul mode to drive mode on the end of the shifter handle. It seem to make it the rest of the way to Juneau Alaska. Just thought it was a weird one time thing. Didn’t really have any issues again till about 2022. I was driving in Juneau doing 60mph with my wife , mother and father in-law in the back seats and experienced it again, a major downshift not sure to what gear, it really threw all of us forward and luckily no one was behind me at the time or I would have been rear ended. Very scary to be driving on the road. Also noticed a couple more times when it did that there was nothing, no acceleration on the gas pedal. It seems to come and go. I took it in to the only place that repairs Fords here where I live. My five year factory warranty expired, I had a eight year extended but they would not cover the expense because they are not a official Ford dealer. I paid $1,834.38 to have the main control MB3Z-7A100-A part in the transmission replaced with filter, fluid replaced to at the same time. It seem to have fixed the high speed downshift for now, but noticed at slow speeds on deceleration letting my foot off accelerator I noticed it slips from like third to neutral and if I go to re-excelerate it slips back up to gear it left. There needs to be a National Recall on these Transmissions just like the 2014 F150’s. The Dealers are still using the same parts and build of these transmission’s as they did back then. Please put out a recall because after years of this issue it sounds like there are thousands of others dealing with this issue.

THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK I HAVE PURCHASED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE NOTICED SOME STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, I HAD AN IMPRESSION THAT SOMETIMES IT WAS GETTING A BIT STUCK OR CHANGED THE POSITION ON ITS OWN. TODAY I HAVE DISCOVERED BY MYSELF THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY LOOSE, ALL 3 BOLTS ARE NOT TORQUED AT ALL, I COULD TURN THEM WITH MY BARE FINGERS. THIS EXPLAINS THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR I OBSERVED. LAST WEEK I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING, THEY DID A TEST DRIVE (!) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO, I HOPE IT WILL BETTER EXPLAIN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/B9IJTDTDQYA I DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SUSPECT FORD DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE QUALITY CONTROL TO ENSURE THAT THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I AM GOING TO SEE THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 56 YEARS, WHEN I GET OUT OF AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK EVEN WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. ON 4/5, I PARKED MY TRUCK (CITY GOVERNMENT VEHICLE) MOTOR RUNNING, TO PUT RAINGEAR IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, GRABBED MY JACKET AND WALKED TO MY PERSONAL VEHICLE (15 FEET AWAY) AND PLACED THE JACKET INSIDE. I THEN WALKED BACK TO MY CITY TRUCK, OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT MY RAIN SLICKER FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, CARRIED THE SLICKER TO MY PERSONAL CAR AND PUT IT INSIDE. I WALKED BACK TO THE TRUCK, SHUT THE TRUCK'S PASSENGER DOOR, WALKED TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN COMPLETELY STATIONARY TO THIS POINT AND AT THIS MOMENT DROVE ITSELF FORWARD INTO A PARKED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. THE TRUCK'S GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN "D". A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. ONE WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME IT WAS DRIVER ERROR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN PARK. I TOO DOUBTED MYSELF UNTIL I DISCOVERED FORD'S RECALL OF 2017 F250 TRUCKS. I MAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO YOU, THE NHTSA. A COWORKER WITNESSED THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE. THE CITY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY FOR OVER A MINUTE, AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS FROM THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT, I CANNOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT THE TRUCK MOVING FORWARD ...

MY WASTE GATE HAS MALFUNCTIONED THEN REPLACED BUT HAS BEEN BACK 3X IN 30 DAYS WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON AND SENDING THE TRUCK INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING.

ECOBOOST ENGINE, AUTO STOP/START OPTION DISABLED BY PUSHING DASH BUTTON. TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT LIKE THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION IS STILL ENABLED BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES. HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY RESTART THE ENGINE USING THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON 3 OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST WEEK.

1. MY RAPTOR WAS MADE IN 1/2017. 2. IT TOOK LOTS OF CALLS AND FED EX SHIPMENT OVER NIGHT TO THE DEALER AND 5 DAYS FROM MONDAY TO LATE FRIDAY TO GET THE RAPTOR BACK. FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FORD COULD NOT SAY WHEN THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE. 3. IT DOES APPEAR THE LEAK IS FIXED. NO LEAK FOUND AFTER DRIVING LOTS SINCE LATE FRIDAY TO THIS AM. 4. PARTS REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS PER WORK INVOICE: A. 7652661 OIL DYE ( USED FOR TESTING AFTER PLACEMENT) B. HL3Z*9T516*A TUBE ASY C. BL3Z*6L625*D OIL COOLER AND FILTER ASY D. *W716088*S900 BOLT E. *W715565*S450 BOLT FORD RAPTOR 2017 OIL LEAK CONTINUATION 1. I APOLOGIZE AS I WAS TOO OPTIMISTIC TO THINK MY PROBLEM LISTED ABOVE WAS FIXED. 2.I DROVE THE RAPTOR AFTER PICKING IT UP LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON HOME AND AROUND TOWN AND FREEWAYS OVER WEEKEND FOR ABOUT 200 MILES TOTAL. ( NO OFF ROAD RIDING, NO 4 WHEEL DRIVING, MAX SPEED ABOUT 75 MPH, NO STOMPING ON TUBES FOR EXTENDING PERIODS). I CHECKED FOR OIL LEAK SUNDAY AM, AND TODAY- MONDAY AM-NO LEAK. I TURNED ON ENGINE AND LEFT FOR A SHORT ERRAND AFTER CHECKING TODAY-MONDAY. 3. WHEN I CAME BACK I NOTICED A TIRE TREAD IMPRINT AND WET AREAS ON DRIVEWAY. I PARKED NEXT TO THE DRIVEWAY ON PAVERS WHEN I CAME BACK. I OPENED THE GARAGE TO FIND A HUGE PUDDLE OF OIL. 4. THE BRAND NEW 2 WEEK OLD RAPTOR IS BACK AT THE DEALERS. I WILL UPDATE AS I FIND OUT INFO. I THINK I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL RED RAPTOR LEMON!

WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE BRAKES WILL BE FIRM AND THE GO SOFT AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ALSO WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES I HAVE TO PUMP THEM SO THEY WILL WORK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M EITHER AT A STOP SIGN OR A STOP LIGHT. ITS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP. THE WORSE PART IT HAPPENS SEPARATELY AND THE DEALERSHIP THINKS I'M CRAZY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED, IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM FAILED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE OCCUPIED LANE AS WELL AS WARN THE CONTACT IF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

DOOR LATCH RECALL ' MY F150 FALLS OUTSIDE THE DOOR LATCH RECALL DATES FORD PROVIDED, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. ANYTIME THE WEATHER FALLS BELOW FREEZING MY DOORS WILL OPEN AND CANNOT BE CLOSED AS THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT ENGAGE. MY TRUCK CANNOT BE USED IN FREEZING WEATHER. FORD NEEDS TO EXTEND THE RECALL NOTICE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL DATES (PURELY DONE TO LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY!!!!). IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH DOORS THAT WILL NOT CLOSE!!!

Transmission issue? Hard clunk/jerk when approaching highway speed. Happens intermittently without throwing a code. Feels like it's trying to shift down into a low gear for no reason. So far the problem has been quick to resolve right after it occurs. No error codes. It has done this a handful of times. One time it went into limp mode and there was a code p0116 for a transmission coolant temperature sensor. The sensor was replaced but the problem persists without a tripping a code.

While driving, my 2017 Ford F-150 with the 6-speed automatic will sometimes suddenly downshift on its own. This causes a hard jerk and a sudden change in speed, which feels unsafe especially at higher speeds. At other times, the truck will not shift into gear at all. For example, when backing out of a driveway or parking spot in reverse and then shifting into drive, the truck stalls. The only way to fix it is to put the truck completely in park, shut it off, and restart it before it will go into gear. This has forced me to be stopped in the middle of the road after backing out, waiting for the truck to restart, which is extremely dangerous when there is oncoming traffic. This has been occurring off and on for a long time now not just one date.
