- Dexter, NY, USA

Right rear axel snapped just at the outside of the axel bearing The vehicle felt like it was shaking for about 4 seconds, at the same time the following warnings appeared, Antilock Brake Fault, Hill Start Assist Warning, Tire Pressure Warning, Hill decent control fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available. The vehicle was traveling on I-293 left lane at high way speed, cruise control set. The vehicle tilted and made a near 90degree turn to the right heading towards the MerriMack River, Manchester NH. Poor steering control almost zero, brakes failed, shifted auto trans to lowest gear. Aimed for snow wind row to stop or reduce speed. came to rest at the right lane separation zone for ramp @ 6.3 mile marker. Towed to LondonDerry Ford, Londonderry NH Vehicle inspected by State Farm Insurance for body damage unable to see underside damage except snapped axel. Inspected by by Londonderry Ford for underside damage. Vehicle body damage set at an estimated 11,731. Front wall of bed box all rivets snapped. Accident Date 06 Feb. 2022 @ 07:30 vehicle mileage at time 10,672 vehicle date in service 27 Feb 2021 Filed complaint with Ford #CAS35691689 Carrie at Ford Factory claims spec. 8665676518 ext.76792. I inspected the axel at the break point on both halfs, judging from visual inspection and photo enlargement the axel appears to be a poor casting with a discoloration in the center pock marks over aprox. 80% of the face area of the break. The road conditions were dry and clear, straight road, snow plow row to right, traffic light. All lug nuts tight and in place. ** I believe it is note worthy that Ford is taking responsibility by running axel failure through Warranty and body damage through General Council. They refuse to place this in writing, they are also urging that I let them run it through Sate Lemon Law, to me it sounds like they want to hide it. Another exact same failure at AutoFair Ford Manchester NH as of 3/31/2022 sounds fishy to me.,

Truck turned over but display was blank and all gauges read off. Front windows would not roll down. The check manual(wrench) was indicated on the DIC. Truck had been shifting strangely for a few days and it-??s performance seems diminished. Will be checked at dealer. Battery checked and no problems nor loose cables found.

I was driving down the highway when my engine starting shaking so bad I could barely control the steering. I managed to get to the side of the road, and even in park the whole truck was shaking. Had to call a tow truck (cost $100) to take it to nearest Ford dealer. Rodents had chewed through wiring to fuel injectors and knock sensor ($1400). This was the second incident of rodent damage on the wiring of this truck. Mechanic said the soy-based wire coating Ford is using is irresistible to rodents. Insurance company said rodent damage claims on the vehicles using this type of wire coating are 59x higher than on other vehicles. This is a safety concern because of things like happened to me! I could have very possibly wrecked due to this shaking that was so violent. The other event caused my locking system to malfunction. I could have been locked in my vehicle! This is unacceptable. My previous vehicle (Jeep) was parked in the exact same location daily and never had a rodent damage incident. Ford needs to address this!!

- Huntsville, AR, USA

Was traveling around 40mph and transmission gave out. Lost all power and seemed as if it was shifted into neutral. When looking at the gear selection it was stuck in 7th gear.

- Catonsville, MD, USA

This appears to be a possible PCM relay failure or electrical system malfunction. This seems to be a documented issue out there on various websites and forums. I was with my wife and son when the vehicle started running extremely rough and lost nearly all power on a busy roadway. This caused a very dangerous situation for my family in attempting to get the vehicle off the main roadway. Multiple dash lights came on and the system advised of "park brake limited service required", "Hill assist not available" and "drive modes not available". After getting the vehicle off the roadway and parked, the vehicle stalled and would not start or run. I have not taken this to the dealer yet to determine the issue.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

Every time I drive on the highway at speeds over 45+ mph and a load is on the engine and boost is 5+ psi, the truck shudders and shakes like an engine miss. I took it to the dealership 3 times for this and each time they say it is the transmission and it is "normal". Something is seriously wrong with it. It feels like the engine is going to let loose.

- Moseley, VA, USA

When manually shifting between gears the shifting is a very sudden jolt which results in startling the driver as well as all passengers. This also happens during simple driving around town while doing no manual shifting. Often times there is a delay in acceleration. This is not normal shifting.

Transmission lunges, shifts erratic, almost got hit entertaining highway

- Dalton, PA, USA

2020 F-150 Lariat w/ 10 Speed Transmission - 10,600 miles. Experiencing extremely hard downshifting, erratic rough shifting when in traffic. In normal traffic conditions on the highway, traveling 60mph, the truck downshifted from 8th to 7th, causing an extremely loud bang and jerk. This has began to be a regular occurance. These transmissions have serious issues with shifting. Ford needs to find a fix. My over $60,000 truck drives rougher than my riding lawnmower.

- Annapolis, MD, USA

Transmission Shift Concern: While driving in town at low speeds and on the highway at posted speeds of 70 or 75mph, and even at take off from a complete stop, I am experiencing issues with how my 2020 F150 10spd transmission shifts. At times, during all of the above instances, shifting can be very rough and noisy, can be delayed causing delayed acceleration, and even when I start the truck, I sometimes here a clunk and the truck may even slightly lurch forward. * have had two instances now of my truck hesitating in the middle of a highway at take off. After the first time, I immediately contacted the dealership. I took the truck only to be told it could not be duplicated. **When traveling at low speeds in town you feel and audibly hear the transmission shift and sometimes jerk. **When traveling at highway speeds, especially when on cruise control, and the truck downshifts from 10th to 8th gear, the sound of the shift has become audible and you feel it. At other times, the shift is smooth and functions as I would expect. **When starting the vehicle, there are times when you hear a clunking sound then the vehicle will slightly move as if it where given a slight push. I have expressed my concern to the dealership where I purchased the truck on more than one occasion. The first time I was told by the service rep that this is normal for the truck. The second time was when the truck stalled at takeoff in the middle of the highway. This time I was told to bring the truck in. I was called to pick my truck up the same day and told the issue could not be duplicated. Very few miles were put on the truck for "testing". I wish I had documented them. Today I called again as the shifting issues are getting worse. I was scheduled for an appointment July 21, 2021, but only after telling them this needed to be checked more thoroughly. I was first dismissed and told this was again, normal operation. * service lights or warnings in the vehicle for this specific issue.

At approximately 9700 miles my truck has started malfuctioning and causing a safety risk. On takeoff the truck feels powerless until approximately 3 seconds after pressing the gas pedal. While crossing an intersection, I hit the gas which moved my truck forward very slowly in front of on-coming traffic but took approximately 3 seconds to start moving at the rate of speed a vehicle normally should. I could have been T-boned from this. The main issue I have noticed is while driving between 20 and 40 mph and giving enough gas to maintain speed, the truck starts jolting back and forth until I either let my foot off the gas or floor it. It also makes a clunking noise in the rear end while this happens. I called Ford and scheduled an appointment which was 4 weeks out and they just told me to "Take it easy driving it, it will be fine." This is not a once in a while issue, this happens every single time I drive my truck and does not go away no matter how long I'm driving it for.

- Bozeman, MT, USA

While driving my vehicle, the transmission seems to have intermittent issues with up and down shifting anywhere from gears 1-7. feelings of transmission slip and hesitation to shift. Also it is noisy sometimes. You can hear it downshift. It sounds like a hard steel clunk. Only one time though have I experience a moderate downshifting between gears that slowed the vehicle much more than the braking did. I have no photos or dealer reports of the issue because the dealer said 'they just shifted rough'

- Hockley, TX, USA

Just bought the truck. I took it to the store, then around town. While making a left turn down a side street, I pushed the button for the heat, to turn it off. I heard a weird buzzing noise. My breaks stopped working fully. No breaks at all. No power break, since it's electrical or something. No way to stop the truck. When I tried to push the gas to move. There was no power to the transmission at all. When I finally stopped. I tried to figure out the issues. Switching several options and modes to try to find the solution. Called a mechanic. No codes were given on the system. Had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck. I'm a disabled vet, had to walk back to my house to grab my other car, since I didn't know if this truck was just going to decide to take off with me in it. The whole system is electrical and buggy. Sure enough. Before the tow truck got there, I was with another person who had a similar Ford F150. He went through some options. Without touching the accelerator, the truck started to rev up. We quickly went to the engine to disconnect the battery. If that transmission would have activated it would have smashed into several people, cars and houses. Then that's when I looked up the recall for the 2020 F150 and found all the information I wish I would have seen before the purchase. 365 miles on the truck. Had it less than 14 hours. Drove it for about 20 mins. Noticed premature rust underneath, but didn't think too much of it. A lot of parts were rusting and had no protection.
