While driving my 2018 Ford F150, the wrench light along with the error “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power” came on and the vehicle immediately went into “limp” mode. Luckily, I was able to safely pull over and get to the closest residence. After being towed to a Ford dealership, I learned the transmission had failed. Of course, out of the 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty. 85,000 miles and need a new transmission. I’ve seen too many complaints of this situation with others, shame on Ford for not rectifying the situation and making it right. Clearly there’s an issue with the 2017-2020 ish year range F150’s.

The Starter on my 2018 Ford F150 XTR (XLT trim to be sold new in Canada) with the 5.0L Coyote V8 engine failed @ only 46,000 miles. I have done my own auto repair for years, and have replaced a few failed or failing starters, none of which were @ less than 100,000 miles. After a little research, I found out that Ford "created" their Coyote engine with the Auto Stop/Start feature as a fuel economy measure to satisfy USEPA. However, this resulted in a several orders of magnitude increase in the number of starts within any given time frame (say, over the course of a year) and, since Ford did not re-design the starter to account for this radical increase in the sheer number of starts, starters are failing early. Mine failed @ 46,000 miles, and I've read multiple online posts from owners of this engine that had to replace the starter, one as early as 27,000. Check out owner comments @: [XXX] I should NOT have been required to pay for Ford Motor Company's design FAILURE.

The transmission in these Ford Trucks has a failed bushing that allows fluid to escape the drum used to operate the three overdrive clutches. It causes the truck to suddenly stall, lurch forward unexpectedly, and it poses a major safety risk . Trucks with this issue can suddenly lose power at highway speeds causing traffic accidents.

My truck stopped in the middle of an intersection and would not crank again. The fuel pump had exploded on the inside and metal shavings were found all throughout my fuel system. The cost to repair my truck was $ 11,867.60 plus tax. From what I have been told, this is an ongoing problem that occurs with this specific fuel pump. I was told from the service manager at the dealership that he sees this problem all the time. I was told from the claim adjuster that this is a problem with all Ford and Chevrolet trucks with diesel engines that use this specific fuel pump. I believe this should be a recall since it is a problem with any diesel that not only Ford but Chevrolet makes. I did file this with my insurance company but it was not covered. My claim # with Farm Bureau is 10000600403. My case # with Ford is CXH-02697972-W5T6Y4. Ford did end up covering half of the cost to repair but I still believe that it should be a recall. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

10R80 transmission can cause life threatening issues due to harsh shifting, jerking, hesitation, and slipped gears. Transmission can unexpectedly shift in to neutral while in motion which could cause a crash, and will not speed up at times when needing to accelerate. Ford will not issue a recall on this defect resulting in several class actions. Ford service is still charging up to $10,000 to repair the defect despite being aware of this defect since 2017. Multiple technical service bulletins have been issued by Ford, but no recall despite presenting a real danger to drivers of the affected vehicles. Ford did recall 2021 models of this vehicle for the same exact reason, but will not recall the earlier models posing the same danger. My vehicle is currently in with the Ford service department after doing everything listed above while driving, and Ford has informed me it needs a $9,500 repair to the transmission due to this defect.

Twelve months ago I took my truck in for service and was informed that the rear lug nuts were compressed and needed to be replaced. I did so and paid over $130. Yesterday, I again took my vehicle in for service and was informed that the front lug nuts were compressed and paid $141 plus labor to have those replaced. Dealer indicated that this was a common issue found on Ford F-150 vehicles. When I asked if there was a recall on the lug nuts, the service manager said, "No, but there should be." I find it unusual that lug nuts have this type of problem.....I have been driving for 53 years and always have my tires regularly rotated and balanced and have never in the past been told the lug nuts had failed and required replacement. Have you had other complaints regarding Ford lug nut compression?

I on a trip [XXX] round trip is about 332 miles. I had approximately 42 miles to go and the truck speed was reduced and it started to jerk. This is the second trip over two hundred miles and the same thing happened. have extended warranty insurance but I can’t get any one to accept it here in Cleveland, Mississippi. I really think this truck is a lemon. I purchased it last year in November and it’s been giving me problems ever since then. I don’t have money to just give away on something that is not worth it. I even went to the dealer where I bought the truck and asked him if I could swap out for another truck and he told me he couldn’t do it. When I checked on car fax it just shows that this truck had 126 ,000miles on it. But at the dealership it showed 149,000miles.So it only showed history for 126,000 and less. I don’t know the history of the 23,000 miles that’s not accounted for. I want my money back or a reliable truck that has no problems with it.

2018 F-150 STX with 103,000 miles, never towed anything whatsoever. I purchased the truck brand new. I have all the maintenance records and have kept up with the truck.

The 2-piece oil pan system leaks. On Ford’s 3.5L V6 motor, a two piece oil pan is known for commonly leaking. The source of the leak is between the plastic oil pan and the aluminum upper oil pan. Over time with the oil heating and coiling this causes the pans to heat and expand at different rates causing gasket failure around the attachment bolts. This is extremely common among these motors. The safety of the at risk operators and passengers comes into play when you consider the oil leak is captured by a steal skid plate where the oil accumulates over time. If enough oil is present and enough heat from the exhaust reaches the waist oil, a fire could start. The only way a vehicle owner would know there is a leak is if they do their own maintenance or have a good mechanic that does the oil changes. The skid plate captures the oil and prevents it from reaching the ground where a puddle would be noticed. This issue has been known and a repair process is put out by Ford already due to the number of issues with this. My vehicle has not been inspected No warning lamps are illuminated. I notice the leak when doing my own vehicle maintenance. It took me a while, but I was able to trace the leak back to the mounting bolts and researching the problem confirmed my suspicions.

The vehicle was stopped, preparing to make a left-hand turn at a four-way intersection, in Drive with my foot on the brake. I had manually pressed the button to disable the "Auto Start-Stop" feature earlier in this trip, and the light was on indicating that feature was still disabled. While stopped, the vehicle's engine suddenly shut off. On the dashboard, the informational cluster indicated "Auto StartStop Shift to P, then Restart Engine" with the logo for that feature (An "A" in a looped arrow icon) showing below. I shifted to Neutral and restarted the vehicle with no issue - at which time the warning messages went away - and continued the drive without further incident. I have not been able to reproduce the issue, yet. I was in the vehicle with my 1-year-old son in his car seat, preparing to make a left turn across oncoming traffic when the vehicle shut itself off, placing us at considerable potential risk. The vehicle has not been inspected by police, a dealer, etc. as of yet but I will be bringing it to a Ford dealership as soon as I can. I have included an example photo of the same error I saw, taken from an internet forum. This is not my truck, but is the identical warning message to the one I saw.
