This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 - 65 MPH, the transmission inadvertently downshifted to first gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and continued driving; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics who could not replicate the failure; however, an unknown sensor was replaced. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist since his VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V433000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
4X4 transfer case motor failure. System will not engage on eectronic 4X4. Failure appears when parked or moving when trying to engage the 4X4. Appears to be a current fairly high failure rate according to local dealer. 4 this month.
Just bought vehicle within 4 weeks, upon stepping on gas, transmission violent jerk in first gear from stop, has happened four times on entering onto highway
Driving my 2010 Ford F150 and it downshift driving at around 35 to 40 on a city street. I stopped and shut the truck off. Upon turning it back on I had the check engine light, traction control and the wrench light that put the truck in safe mode. Also the mileage would flash ---- instead of numbers. I took it to midwest superstore in hutchinson, ks and they found codes P0720 & P0722 which lead to the diagnosis being the lead frame needing to be replaced. I was told that the leadframe and value body are one piece and would have to be replace together. I found that 2011-2013 Ford F150 have the exact same problem and a recall 19S07 for this exact issue. I called Ford customer service and informed them that my truck is doing the same exact thing and they will not help due to no recall for this year. Case number [xxx]. this is not handled to my satisfaction and is a huge safety hazard. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The truck when stopping has what is called a slip bump stop. Upon taking off if not fully stopped (light changes) the truck doesn't know what gear to go into. When it does this, the transmission forces it into a gear. When it does this, it chirps the tires and slams the transmission hard almost like a transmission mount is bad. Mounts are still good. Had transmission fluid replaced which was recommended by mechanic and said it would solve the problem. It did not. $160 wasted. It does not do it all the time but after the truck warms up. The slip bump stop which jerks the truck forward when stopping only happens while in gear. However can put in neutral and stop with no problem. I can't figure out what the full cause is. Every mechanic has a different opinion but that gets very costly. The slip bump stop has been an issue with Ford for many years and should have been fixed. I know this truck is used and has high miles so I can't get it fixed but it should be a safety concern for Ford as the trucks lunge forward when slowing to a stop.
The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph and hauling a boat, an abnormal sound was heard coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that the rear wheels ceased and the vehicle reduced speed independently before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to corwin Ford located at 1225 N. auto plex way pasco, wa 99301, however the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000.
While driving the vehicle the vehicle has very rough shifts, and not only that but while stopping or accelerating after a stop and the vehicle has been stationary for small time, the vehicle jerks with a rough shift. Also while trying to drive at an accelerated speed on a highway such as 55-70 the vehicle beings to shake more so the transmission area as though the gears are not shifting properly, and as this occurs my check engine light comes on.
The normal camshaft phaser issues are occurring. Loud knocking, vibrating while idling, and general rattling from the motor when the truck isn't above 1000 RPM's. while this may not directly cause accidents, in intense rattling and knocking can cause other issues to arise which in turn can cause major safety concerns for the NHTSA. If Ford doesn't decide to take on this issue and repair it, then it can be expected that every 3 valve Ford motor made since 2005 will eventually succumb to these major issues. As we all know Ford has had issues designing motors in the past, primarily the 6.0, 6.4 and 5.4 motor that I currently own, but it is time for Ford to step up and handle the mechanical problems that their designers negligence caused. It is not too much to ask that an auto manufacturer stands by their product and repairs or replaces the faulty part when the time comes. Additionally in the part you wherein you asked for the date of the incident, I will put the most recent occurrence but please note that this issue is reoccurring and you should expect knocking and vibration every time you drive.
The two driveshafts that connect together with the center boot broke apart while driving. Luckily when this happened I was only traveling 3 miles an hour. This is a major safety issue that should be addressed, either have a one piece drive shaft or the sleeve should be better secured. I feel that if this had happened while I was traveling on the expressway, my family and others could have been in serious danger
Takata recall: My 2010 Ford raptor with the 6.2L motor has been having a wrench light come on and I have had two quotes stating the neutral position sensor or transmission range sensor is bad. I've noticed that many recalls have been made on the Ford F-150 models starting in 2011-2014. With my vehicle being produced mid year of 2010. I feel my vehicle is part of that recall. But doesn't show in any systems. My vehicle will stay stuck in a certain gear or not start at all. I can be driving down the high way and the vehicle will shift down to first gear when the vehicle is still in drive while going 60mph. It makes the vehicle reach redline on rpms and hard to stop the vehicle.
Takata inflators. I was driving back from charlotte when my transmission got stuck in first gear be. At 3000 to 4000 rpms and won't go down at 40 and 50 miles.I was in motion at the time it was around 7:30 to 8pm. And it still stuck in 1st gear. It start on a city street and I had to drive home on a hwy and it was still go rmps at 3000 to 4000 at any were from 40 to 50 on the high way. I don't want to push it with my transmission.
My 2010 4.6 2wd shuts down while driving at 40mph on the street. I've changed so many things and now just ordered thottle body yo see if it helps. No one can diagnose this problem because no check engine light. I lose power steering and all power to the vehicle. This needs to be recalled by Ford because it is very dangerous and almost caused me to have accidents with my kids inside.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While driving 70 mph, the transmission suddenly downshifted into first gear. The contact quickly shifted into neutral gear since the rear wheels locked up. The vehicle was then coasted to the side of the road. The contact attempted to shift into drive again and the vehicle started to move, but shifted back into neutral. The contact shifted into second gear and was able to slowly drive home. The check engine indicator illuminated. The dealer (inskeep Ford, 2651 w main St, greenfield, in 46140, (317) 462-1470) stated that there was no recall and advised the contact to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 193,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While reversing, the vehicle shook violently and the contact had to depress the accelerator pedal with force to get the vehicle to move. Consumer stated shifting into second gear began to jerk the truck like. I was being hit from behind. The same jerking sensation was felt while the truck was in reverse. The accelerator needed to be press far down for the truck to move in reverse. The vehicle was taken to Liberty Ford of maple heights (5500 warrensville center rd, maple heights, oh 44137) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 78,189.
Sometimes while driving, usually in mountainous terrain or pulling a load, the vehicle will down shift multiple gears. Instead of a progression of one gear at a time, it is a sudden shift from le. Fourth to second or first. I don't know the exact reduction as my vehicle does not have a gear indicator. It occurs sporadically with no warning. This action has never caused a dangerous situation but is concerning. The engine RPM has jumped to the red line which I feel may cause engine and/or transmission problems.
