While I was driving on Friday, my 2020 F-150 stalled. An error message popped up on the instrument cluster saying "auto startstop shift to P then restart". I restarted and it happened again. I then waited 10 minutes and restarted and it has not happened since. I took it to bob thomas service in hamden, ct today and they are saying they cannot find anything wrong. If I was on the highway or turning across traffic, stalling at that time could be disastrous or even fatal.

I purchased a brand new Ford truck XL. F-150 on 8/23/2020.on 8/23/2020. The vehicle broke down, after a week of being at the dealership they came to a conclusion based on the diagnostic test that the vehicle was, allegedy struck by lighting with no visible marks the Ford dealership suggested that I should put a claim in through my insurance since my vehicle is not a warranty item under acts of nature which I did. I then contacted the original dealership where I purchased the vehicle from and had the truck towed on 9/11/2020.after numerous attemps and opening a claim through corporate Ford and then being denied I reached out to my insurance company after three independent appraisal's and numerous phone calls along with emails no one has responded to resole this issue, it has been almost three months now with no conclusion and my insurance company has denied my claim due to the incompetence of the Ford dealership.

Excessive oil consumption. I have already had the service applied from the technical bulletin, but not much relief from the loss of oil. I have to add at least a quart half way between oil changes. I would likely lose 2 quarts or more between oil changes in total. I have barely 5000 miles, 'fix' applied at 2500 miles. At 5100 miles already over a quart low. Mostly city driving. Some pulling of smaller rv trailer. Trailer weight is 5800 pounds.

Oil consumption on the 5.0 liter V8 engine. The engine is consuming oil without evidence of an oil leak. Ford has a tsb for this 19-2365 which covers year model 2018-2020. There are other tsbs for older year models with this same engine. Ford says less than 1 quart of oil consumed in 3000 miles or less is normal. Their fix is a longer and wider dip stick and a software update. This does not fix the oil consumption. There is a problem with the design of the engine block within the cylinders.

On September 27, 2020 at about 2:30 pm I was towing a camper approximately 150 miles with the auto start stop disabled by the button on the dashboard. I made a left turn from a stop at an intersection. When I turned the engine shut off and a warning message came on the dashboard that said 'auto start stop. Shift to P and restart engine'. luckily I was able to avoid an accident and coasted to a stop on the side of the road. I restarted the engine and it stayed running. As I mentioned, I had disabled the auto start stop function at the beginning of the trip if this had happened at a busy intersection or where I couldn't have stopped my wife and I could have been in a serious accident or even been killed. I have read about this on the internet and it is not an uncommon occurrence. This is a serious defect that very likely will cause people to be hit and killed and should be recalled.
