The contact called the dealer and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V252000 (Back Over Prevention) and referred him to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the same information as the dealer. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 29,870.

Automatic transmission shifts gears erratically. (1) Much delayed shifting from 1st gear to 3rd gear. (Also occurs at the following gear ratio changes: 3rd to 5th and 5th to 7th.) This stalls the acceleration of the vehicle for sufficient time so that a rear end collision can occur if the driver of vehicle behind is not vigilant. (2) While driving on a freeway at 65mph, the vehicle has lost acceleration while the transmission gear indicator shows random gear hunting (10, 7, 3, 1, 9...) and finally abruptly reengaging in a gear to allow forward power. This behavior results in vehicle speed, while in the high speed freeway lane, slowing from 65 to 30 and then slowly accelerating to a more appropriate speed once a gear reengaged. This condition was conducive to a rear end collision. Ford has no availability dates for either a replacement transmission or internal transmission parts so the vehicle is being diagnosed by an independent transmission repair shop. The vehicle may be inspected there if required. (Dealer has confirmed the odd shifting behavior.) Vehicle warning light occurred subsequent to the above behavior.

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.

I was accelerating onto the interstate and just as I was about to merge onto the right lane the truck just all of sudden without warning shifted out of gear like it had been manually shifted to neutral. The engine of course revved up considerably and I of course lost speed immediately which thank the lord I did not have traffic that I was merging into that could have been really bad. It only happened that one time and has not happened since. I have had some really hard shifting going on but nothing like that.

The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 140.

purchased in 2019 a new 2019 f150-lariat under 60k miles 1st incident 1month after purchase Transmission lunged forward after it was in park almost throwing me off the truck running board while getting out. Ford Dallas service Dept.stated this was normal sent me away. A few months later took it back in the gears were shifting hard while driving and making a loud sound .Service Dept stated they could not hear or see any problem with the transmission-sent me away- Oct 2022 dropped it off transmission went from 10gear to 2nd gear on the highway. nearly got killed. 3 months later I received a call truck was ready. After driving off AGAIN transmission fluid was leaking on the exhaust and causing bad smoke on the highway the gears Again started to shift from 10gear to 2nd and 1st gear had to pull over off the highway. Dropped it off again at the nearest Ford which this time it stayed for another month and they stated it exhaust was cleaned up and they could not find a issue wrong with the transmission. I drove off AGAIN the transmission started leaking causing smoke while driving, Dropping gears on the highway and hitting hard. I NEARLY GOT killed on the highway because of transmission shifting down the way it is and smoke. As of today My truck is sitting in the driveway unable to drive due to faulty transmission . I will not put my family in this unsafe vehicle that Ford could do nothing to fix.

When driving normal conditions from a stop to accelerate the truck completely loses power to drive and gears shift super hard in a jerking motion. When trying to accelerate onto highway from stop sign it will go to 15mph then the engine will rev and gear goes to 1 and then back to gear I was originally in but the whole time the truck does not accelerate in speed which pulling out onto highway can cause me to get rear ended as the highway I pull onto from my street is 2 lane 55mph highway. It does this at all speeds and now reverse only work when it is cold . I have videos there are to big to upload on this application form

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.
