2016 Ford F-150

On my way home from a trip on Tuesday 4-14-26 at about 60 mph with cruise control on the truck downshifted and turned cruise control off and a small wrench came on display. I made my way to next town at reduced speed, wouldn't get out of 5th gear, found a ford dealer had them scan and check out. They found 2 codes P061B:00-24- pcm and P0722:00-68 They cleared codes and drove truck with no return of trouble. I resumed my trip home and same thing happened about 1 hour later, stopped for fuel, and returned to the road with no problem or wrench on display. Came home went to my local transmission shop and he informed me that this was a known problem and warranty has been extended to 10years or 150k miles. Went to my local Ford dealer and they didn't know anything about extended warranty coverage

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH and descending a hill, the brake pedal was depressed, and the transmission unexpectedly downshifted into a lower gear. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

In 1 week 2 unexpected shifts into neutral occurred. On the third occurrence the wrench light came on and the vehicle would not shift out of third gear. I pulled code P1702. I will be replacing the transmission molded lead frame this weekend. It is not safe to drive.

transmission not shifting properly and shutting down not able to drive,hard shifting from 3rd to 4th, it iS A 6 speed V8

When I come to a stop at a stop sign or waiting for traffic to pass to make a turn, and try to accelerate, my truck does not accelerate as usual. On the dash it shows that the gear shifts into 5th, from the get go, after having been at a full stop. At some point it then down shifts from 5th to 2nd. A wrench appears on my dash as well. A very loud fan noise also came from my engine area. This was highly dangerous, because as i was trying to turn left on a fast paced road, my truck could not / would not accelerate as normal and i was kind of stuck sideways on a two lane road. The same happened when i tried to turn off the road. I was making a left turn. Unfortunately i had to come to a full stop to let the other cars pass, so i could make my left. Once i tried to accelerate to make my left hand turn, it took quite a while for me to make the turn and i was kind of stuck sideways on the road. The gears were not shifting properly throughout my drive from my house to my destination and back. I stopped using it once i got back to my house.

While driving at steady speeds around 50–65 mph, the vehicle intermittently feels like it shifts into neutral and the engine revs unexpectedly. After a moment, the transmission re-engages. This creates a safety concern, especially at highway speeds. Issue appears consistent with reported problems involving OSS (Output Shaft Speed) sensor or transmission lead frame signal loss in 2015–2017 Ford F-150 vehicles currently under NHTSA investigation.

Multiple front brake line ruptures on 2016 F150 putting safety at risk. 7/26/2023 front passenger side brake line rupture while driving requiring new brake line. 4/6/2026 front driver side brake line rupture while driving requiring new brake line, replaced front passenger side brake line again because it was cracked and about to rupture again. Ford is using defective brake lines, brake lines should not be considered a routine maintenance item like a car battery. This is putting my family at risk and other drivers.

Transmission is going down in gears at high speeds and a wrench is showing up

Saturday 4/4 I took the truck to get a tire repaired. It would not initially start. 5 minutes later it finally did. Then a few blocks away the trucks internal lights started flashing and it jumped from drive into a lower gear. I thought my drive quit working. I pulled over and had reverse and low so I attempted to put in drive, still wouldn't go. After about 5 minutes I was able to get the truck back into drive and get it home where it sits today. I just bought it 1 1/2 months ago. It happened to my son also on Thursday 4/2 but I just found out about it. He was going highway speeds when lights started flashing and truck jerked from drive into a lower gear. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I want to know what you are going to do about it? I just paid $22,000 for this truck. I shouldn't have to deal with this. My son looked it up and says it is P0707 lead frame failure or output shaft speed sensor. Whatever the case, it would be nice to know what can be done about it other than switching to manual dirive.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while purchasing a warranty for the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 149,000 and at the time of purchasing the warranty, it was discovered that the mileage was 146,000.

Oil pan leaks. The F150 just crossed 70,000 miles. At just under 60,000 miles the truck had what the Ford Service tech described as a weap from the oil pan. He said it was a costly repair so just to watch it. At 65,000 it was a steady drip when the oil was warm. Now at 70,000 the Ford dealer is recommending a replacement. What I have learned is this is a common failure on 2015 to 2017 F150s with the 2.7L engine. I suspect this was happening earlier but the Ford Dealer was relucant to bring it up as it would have at the time been covered under warranty. I have also now learned Ford is on its 3rd TSB for resolving this common leak at the oil pan. Hopefully this will warrant a recall response from Ford. From research this is a very common failure and engine damage will occur if the leaking oil pan is not repaired. Please investigate as I suspect there are numerous complaints. Thank you.

Rear backup camera failed and is just showing a blue screen or black screen with squiggly lines.

Truck was repaired under recall 20S31 to repair the master cylinder issue in November 2020. Just the other day the master cylinder went out again and my brakes went out while driving. There clearly was an inadequate repair and Ford so far is not open to covering the expensive repair costs to this critical safety issue.

While driving at highway speed, in traffic, the transmission down-shifted without warning almost causing me to lose control and almost rear ended by another vehicle. The vehicle then lost power and would barely make it uphill. After parking safely and shutting it off, the check engine light came on and it would not crank and would not show what gear it was in. According to the Ford dealer, where I had it towed for repair, it suffered a lead frame failure and pcm failure and cost over $2300.00 to repair plus a $240.00 tow bill.

My Ford F150 randomly won't start.It also randomly down shifts while driving.There have been times I've been driving 50mph and the transmission starts down shifting on its own.

There currently is a NHTSA inspection investigation going for this issue. I only have 75k miles on this truck. The shifting is off. Sometimes it goes out of gear. I had to stop and restart everything to get it home. Getting on the freeway it went to first gear and I had to pull over. Made a weird noise in shifting. The shift illumination goes on and off. The shifting was acting definitely not right.

The truck out of nowhere downshifted when I was going down the highway at 60 and locked up the back tires, and then it went into limp mode and woundnt drive very fast. The mechanic shop said that it was probably that the TRS and the 6R80 transmission were currently being investigated for these safety concerns and i couldnt agree more. I could have hit someone or even got hurt my self.

Today I was driving my truck at 55mph on a local highway and all of the sudden I felt/heard/experienced a massive clunk out of nowhere - almost like the truck tried to downshift into 1st or something similarly jarring. It only lasted a second, and then I got a dash light on that said Service AdvanceTrac. Based on the service codes I'm seeing (two of them that are both UO100 codes which indicate loss of communication), I did some research and found out about the OSS sensor issue and think that's what is going on with my truck too. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a Ford dealership to do anything about it since there isn't an official recall, and I'm afraid to keep driving it as this is likely going to keep happening - but fixing it myself is going to be expensive I think. It is available for inspection upon request. I felt that my safety was and continues to be at risk - downshifting into 1st gear, or whatever that was, while driving high speeds is dangerous and could potentially significantly damage my vehicle and myself. I have not taken it anywhere yet to be reproduced or confirmed - just plugged my scanner in and did a bit of research. No one has inspected it.

The drivers side door latch froze and stopped working, the door wouldn’t close and the lock would glitch when trying to lock or unlock it, once the door did close it reopened while driving, so it never really closed all the way, and it started working just fine once the weather warmed up. There are recalls on this issue but not for my vehicle specifically.

I’m reporting a serious transmission issue with my 2016 F-150. While driving, the 'wrench' light suddenly pops up on my dash and the truck starts shifting erratically. Sometimes it feels like it’s searching for a gear or jerking unexpectedly. I had the codes scanned and found P0706, P0707, and P1921. These are all related to the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) signal. I know the NHTSA is currently investigating this exact failure under EA26001 because it causes the truck to lose track of what gear it’s in. Even though my tires haven't locked up yet, the erratic shifting is making the truck unpredictable and dangerous to drive in traffic. It’s clearly the same Lead Frame defect that is being investigated for a recall.
