2019 Ford F-150

My 2019 Ford F150 XLT, began having transmission issues in June of 2024 around the same time the cam phasers failed in the engine (~57K miles). Because the cam phaser failure was the more pressing and unavoidable issue, the dealership focused on the cam phaser repair and ignored my complaints about the transmission shifting hard between 2nd and 4th gear. Within that same month I also had the transmission fluid flushed ~40K miles before recommendation to see if that would resolve the hard and inconsistent shifting issue. It did not, and the dealer stated they could not replicate the problem. Unfortunately the problem became worse, including inconsistent shifting between multiple gears, the transmission "stalling" while it tried to determine which gear to shift to, along with extremely hard "whiplash-like" shifting into gears. These driving conditions resulted in me almost being rear ended several times while trying to enter onto the interstate as cars were accelerating behind me on the on-ramp, while my truck begins a quick deceleration due to missing gears, downshifting and even spinning in a "neutral-like" state while it tries to figure out what gear to shift into. After a couple more visits to the dealership, in which their scanners could not replicate my issues, I was sent on my way to keep driving an unsafe vehicle until either it caused an accident or my transmission completely failed. Fortunately for others, it was the latter situation in which my transmission failed (1st time a warning light appeared) in a hospital parking garage on March 6, 2025, versus me causing an accident. However, all of this could have been avoided if Ford and my local dealership addressed the known issues with the 10R80 10-speed transmission in the 2017-2020 Ford F150 and many other models. The $13K repair bill now that Ford pushed me beyond my powertrain warranty aside, this Ford transmission is EXTREMELY dangerous to the driver and the general public.

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.

The 10 speed transmission failed at 30k miles and they replaced it. Now at 70k it is failing again. It is available for inspection now. My families safety was at risk when the shifting fails while crossing an intersection or when violently downshifting while cruising at 40mph. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than Ford dealership and my mechanic. At 70k there have been no warning lights or messages displayed on the console.

The backup camera on my F150 starting glitching and would not display a clear picture of what was behind the vehicle. Below is what was on the invoice: C/S VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA INOP. THE SCREEN IS BLANK WHEN IN REVERSE.CHECK AND ADVISE 24E12 POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE PCM REPROGRAMMING 2 new wiring harnesses and the control reprogramming came to about $1200. In my opinion, failure of a backup camera is a safety critical item. Failure such as this is no different than a sensor going bad- actually worse as visibility is non-existent.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the check engine and low oil pressure warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and the vehicle was towed to a dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that recently the cam phasers on the vehicle were replaced. The contact stated that the cam phasers had been replaced twice. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I have a 2019 f150, 5.0 w/ 10r80 trans. The vehicle will slip from 7 gear to 1st. 10th to 2nd, and some times just finds itself in neutral with no propelling motion. This happens. While driving, when taking off from a stop. Causing hard jerking and extreme discomfort to me and my passengers. Ford says no recall and to replace the trans. Seeing 100s and f complaints (I’m sure it would be more of people understood hot to report) and NHTSA says they don’t see an issue or need for a recall is unacceptable. Does it take a major accident or someone to get hurt from FORDs outright disregard to fix the issue. Built ford tough is long gone and forgotten. NHTSA is now letting down the consumer, and the people on the road for the disregard for safety and holding these car manufacturers accountable. Do better, recall the 10r80 and make ford pay. Or is ford paying the NHTSA to disregard this multi million dollar fix.

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).
