It also will lose power and rear wheels will lock up.when coming to a stop and start again the truck makes a loud bang that feels like the drive shaft and trans. Are separating.while driving mph will go to 0 miles ph. And a tool will display on the dash.my truck has 187K on it and have been told that Ford will not fix the issue due to mileage I would hope that Ford cares more about my family's safety than the 37K miles past the warranty.this is a well known problem that needs to be fixed, Ford I hope you will fix my truck.it has already had the tps done didnt help, I need my truck for work and cant afford to get another at this time.help!!!!!
While driving my F150 on highway the vehicle transmission is dropping gears suddenly, it seems its going to first gear, another problem I am having with the vehicle's transmission does not go into reverse, when I push the shift lever in the reverse position, the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the reverse light does not illuminate on the dashboard of my F-150 and the backup lamp on the rear of my F-150 does not illuminate.
The advancetrac system pops up and will either slow the truck down or shut it right off.. I had a mechanic look at it and it still continued to do it...I have to shut it all down and try to restart it will sometimes drive for a short time or go for days. This has been going on for over a year where it will also go months without happening.
I purchased my 2011 F150 ecoboost in used condition in 2014. The primary use for my truck is around town errands and hauling light loads. For sometime now I have had issues, like many others have complained as well, during acceleration at 45+mph the engine loses it's power, shudders and stalls. Once there is a reduction in the amount of throttle, it takes a few minutes to regain "normal" driving conditions. For example, my family and I were coming home from Florida on the parkway, in July and with no abnormal weather conditions, and as I was ascending a grade about 75 miles per hour and a semi truck behind me, I gave the truck more throttle and it began to shudder violently, a subtle backfire, and lost power and could not regain throttle response. I quickly moved the truck into the emergency lane and had let the truck return to a normal idle, took a few minutes, before almost getting into a serious collision with the semi-truck. Over the past years I have just dealt with the issue and have taken it to mechanics and scanned the truck with no error codes or issues, until just recently. The mechanic scanned it and it showed misfires on #4 and #6. he replaced the coil and plug hoping that would be the cure, but with no luck it did not solve the issue. I'm reluctant to drop another $250 to replace the rest of the coils, but I don't know what else to do. I do not have disposable income and the truck is paid for, I and can't afford to get another vehicle. I enjoy my F150 and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I have read post after post and video's that there are many people experiencing the same issues, but it seems no one is willing to step forward and make the complaint. I want this issue addressed and I hope Ford will resolve the issue before someone is seriously injured or a life is taken over this problem.

I will be accelerating from a stop position or cruising in town at 40 mph or on the interstate at 75 mph and my transmission will randomly slam into a lower gear causing my tires to occasionally lock up. My speedometer will simply stop working, my digital dash display will display dash marks instead of numbers and also display a wrench icon. Then once I pull the vehicle over and turn it off for a minute, everything will return to normal.

In 2016 I went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership I purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from Ford, online in emails to another dealer, I have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and I have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed Ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.

The truck was sitting in driveway when it started showing door was open. Door locked when I pushed the remote lock and will not open back up at all. Back defrost stoped working about a week before the doors messed up I pushed the button to turn it on and it never came on.

Rear view windshield shattered and blew up after my rear defrost window stopped working. I was driving my truck when it blew up and I started smelling smoke
Stays in low gear and won't up shift. Shut truck off and after a few attempts it shifts. This has happened on several occasions. Once it did it while stop at a redlight. Went to pull out and it wouldn't shift out of low gear. Did it another time when I got it in and from a cold start, put it in drive and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear.
Molded lead frame and oss replacement. I was not notified of the molded lead frame recall 16N02. I experienced the electrical issue described in the recall in my driveway. My dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and would only drive in first gear. I drove to a mechanic that was closer than the Ford dealer and was off of back roads so I could drive in first gear. I paid for the repair. I recently received a recall notice 19S07 which is for programming the oss sensor. I asked to be reimbursed for my repair and I was told no by crescent Ford & trucks. They said 19S07 is for programming only. I believe Ford should reimburse me for the lead frame, connector, automatic transmission fluid, and the speed sensor.
Rear door ajar. Sensor shows driver side rear door as opened, when it has been in fact closed, closed and locked, both with and without child lock engaged.
The instrument cluster lcd display loses functionality immediately after the vehicle starts. This prevents the instrument panel from displaying the selected transmission gear, increasing the risk of unintended vehicle movement. It also prevents warning chimes, messages, and lights from operating. I have no visibility about the car's health, odometer, warnings, etc.
