They have had this recall since Dec 16th and I have taken the truck and called the dealer several times and they said that Ford has not remedied this recall yet. It is a huge issue and they aren't doing anything about it, several online forms have cited this exact problem with their truck yet Ford is not fixing it.

My brand new F150 2021 had a powertrain malfunction with power totally reduced. I had no ability to accelerate. I had to glide over to the side of the road. I restarted the car. It reset, i went to accelerate and again i had an error code and my car froze. I was able to restart again and drive over to my Ford dealership i purchased it from at 15 miles per hour. The problem was reproduced once and confirmed by the dealer. The dealer has contacted Ford and was told they have never seen that error code for a F150. The GM of Ford here in Montana told me if they cant reproduce the problem again, i can have the truck back. This truck is 3 weeks old. I am terrified.

Transmission is shifting very hard at different times, points, speeds, up shifting and down shifting. It jerks so hard at different times that my wife-??s neck was sore, the dealer is taking 3 weeks before they will look at it!

Fails to accelerate when switching from electric power to gas power. This happens when pulling out of a parking lot onto a Houston, Tx feeder street after the truck has set for awhile and on electric power when started and medium to full power is used to merge into traffic. The switch over from appears to work but shows no turbo boost causing a lack of power to merge safely and this only happens after first start the rest of the day truck operates normally or until it is shut off again for awhile making this truck a accident waiting to happen. Yes the service manager witnessed this so left truck to be repaired but since no engine check lights or codes he had to call ford without knowing all the answers from one little short ride they came back with a answer that was unacceptable blaming it on a clutch operation that was normal. If so why does it happen only after new start and corrects itself?
On June 23rd while driving my 2021 XL SuperCrew with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine, the engine quit while I was driving about 30mph. I pushed the accelerator slightly intending to accelerate to 35mph and when the truck downshifted, the engine stalled, and I think the transmission tried to move to park. I got a notification of parking brake error on the dash and started hearing a ticking/clicking noise while still rolling, now down a hill. I moved the column shifter to neutral and it didn't do anything to stop the ticking. I pulled onto the shoulder and slowed down and, and as I neared stopping, the truck finished shifting into park and it jolted to a stop. I then saw a bunch of other errors like engine coolant too hot, stability control disabled, and forward collision warning disabled. There may have been others but I don't recall. The tachometer was frozen showing roughly 2000 rpm until I turned the key to off. Then the dash said to be careful exiting because the parking brake wasn't on. After turning the key to off, I restarted it, the lights on the dash cleared, and I was able to shift to drive, and make it home 3 min later. There are no lights on the dash, so I'm hoping this can still diagnosed at this point. The truck has 793 miles on it as it sits now. The soonest service appointment I have been able to make is for July 8th, but the dealer won't guarantee that it will be seen then.
