2019 Ford F-150

Cam Phasers. Ford refuses to repair cam phasers despite having a recall previously and never fixed by previous owner. Ford quoted the repair at $8k. Previously recall stated safety concerns over faulty manufacturing of cam phasers, having plastic parts and exposed parts rather than metal and enclosed parts like in they install during the repair. While I understand the repair was a voluntary recall, it's still a safety concern as engine has rough idle, rough shift changes, sometimes will jolt forward while idling and possible engine shut off due to damage to camshaft caused by the failing cam Phasers. This should be an NHTSA ordered recall.

Driving on the freeway, my transmission made a loud bang jerked the truck and then completely failed. I was traveling a consistent speed around 75 MPH it was in 10th gear just starting on an incline to an overpass. The jerk caused me to almost pull out of my lane, the failure happening on an incline made the vehicle slow considerably, with no shoulder to pull over on it had enough momentum to make it over the high point in the over pass and I coasted to the side of the freeway as soon as I could. Transmission fluid was pouring out of vent tube covering the underside of the truck and getting all over the road. I also ride motorcycles and understand how bad of a situation that can be for anyone riding behind me. Towed to aamco who inspected and diagnosed as the CDF drum failed and had to have the entire transmission rebuilt. No warning light and no indication that it was having any problems before the failure. My daily commute is around 40 miles one way, I was coming home from work, and I was approximately 8 miles from my home. I doubt aamco has the transmission still and the incident happened about 2 months ago.

There is a known issue with the Ford 10 speed manual transmissions they put in their trucks. They have issued a recall for some but I don't believe it covers all the vehicles affected. I own a 2019 Ford F150 3.5 ECOBOOST with the 10 speed automatic transmission. It has ~104,000 miles and now needs a transmission. Ford Motor Company needs to stand by their product and help those affected by these faulty transmissions.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated and lost automotive power. The contact stated that seconds later, the vehicle started operating as intended. An independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.

This is related to the incident report number XXX I filed previously. Before, between, and after that incident and this one reported today. The vehicle performs mostly normal, the severe issues are completely random and unpredictable. On 4/28/26 I started my truck and left to take my daughter to her [XXX] pediatrician appointment. I left my neighborhood and turned left into traffic. I didn’t speed up much, as the red light on the street stopped me about 100 yards down the road. Then, when green light hit I attempted to accelerate. The vehicle appeared to be stuck in 6th gear and would only rev up the RPMs to about 4000 and barely move forward. I managed to drive about 50ft and get the vehicle off onto the grass shoulder infront of someone’s house. I shifted the vehicle from park to drive and turned it on and off multiple times. This did not resolve the issue and I eventually put the truck in 4x4 in an attempt to make more power and drive forward. This entire time I’m on the shoulder of morning 55mph traffic, hazard lights on, with my infant in the back seat. I managed to get the vehicle to shift into 2nd gear and drive up the road. Once it came up to operating temperature it would shift into higher gears and we made it to the pediatrician. The truck stalled out similarly at two other stopped intersections and on the parking deck before we arrived at our destination. I called my wife and had her drive our daughter home after the appointment. I drove the truck home, on the same route, and it acted as if nothing was wrong. It shifted hard between 1-3rd but otherwise performed well enough. I have scheduled a transmission rebuild with a non-Ford service center for 5/4/26. It is extremely concerning that these issues are happening to myself and others with the 10R80 10-speed and Ford isn’t being forced to recall these vehicles. My truck is a 2019 with 86000 miles now.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated with the transmission slipping. The contact stated that the vehicle felt like it was being driven over a rumble strip. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 100,000.

I am the owner of a 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat equipped with a 10-sp transmission. In late 2021, early 2022 - whiled the vehicle still had warranty - I reported to a Ford dealership that the transmission was experiencing harsh shifting and jerking. At that time, I was informed that no issue could be identified. I complained of this each time I took the vehicle into the dealer for an oil change. After the warranty expired on this vehicle in 2023, the condition worsened. By 2024, the transmission began intermittently shifting into neutral while the vehicle was in motion. This occurred both when accelerating through lower gears (notably between 3rd, 4th, and 8th,9th) and while driving at highway speeds. These incidents created serious safety risks. On multiple occasions, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral while changing lanes on the interstate highway. The vehicle RPMs spiked and I was unable to regain power and had to maneuver to the shoulder while a semi-truck traveling at high speed approached from behind. This placed me in a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. On another occassion, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral while I was proceeding through intersections after a green light, leaving me without power, and unable to shift back into drive in active traffic. There were no service, or warning lights on prior to these failures. The issues occurred suddenly without notice, creating unpredictable and hazardous conditions. Warning indicators only appeared after the condition progressed where the vehicle became un-driveable. Two dealers have since inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the internal transmission components have failed. I was advised that a full transmission replacement is necessary. The issue has occurred multiple times and has progressively worsened since it was first reported under warranty. There was failure to identify and address safety risks sooner and this is extremely concerning. This is a known issue!

4/10/26 - I left my neighborhood to turn right, from a stop, onto a 55 mph highway. Headed to the grocery store, with my 6-month old daughter. The trucks transmission (F150 10R80 10 speed) would not shift any higher than 2nd gear, of 10 gears. This caused the truck to not accelerate at a reasonable speed and only do about 15mph. Two cars behind me nearly collided with me as I could not achieve or maintain speed. I quickly adjusted the steering and pulled the truck over on the grass shoulder. This avoided any accidents and only scared myself, my daughter, and two other drivers behind me. My daughter and I could have easily been severely wounded or killed. I did not know or expect the transmission would suddenly fail. This failure to change gears or hard shifts is a classic symptom of the Ford 10R80 transmissions CDF drum failure. Ford knows about this issue and refuses to recall these vehicles or repair them unless they are under warranty. My truck has 85k miles, just outside the 60k mile warranty. My neighbor with two small children has the same truck with the same issue, also potentially endangering their lives. This should be a forced recall by Ford to protect everyone on the road.
