2019 F150 with 65,000 miles on it, started having issues shifting gears. Was accelerating on the Freeway and jumped from 3rd to 8th gear losing all power and making all passengers jerk forward whipping our necks. Also, started to not go into the right gear after starting up in the morning; put the truck into drive and immediately went into 7th gear without releasing the break and the Powertrain Malfunction came on. Restarted the vehicle and put in drive and the transmission went to 4th gear, started driving and the Powertrain Malfunction light cleared and shifted somewhat normally other than hard shifting. Ford Dealership diagnosed the truck and stated that it needs a new Transmission already at 65,000 miles and they will not warranty it since it is already past 60,000 miles. A transmiss
UNKNOWN. Truck has issues switching gears. Pulled out on the highway and truck wouldn’t shift out of 2nd gear. I almost got rear ended because the truck would not shift into the higher gears. It finally shifted real hard out of 2nd gear, then started shifting back to lower gears even though I wasn’t slowing down. This incident with it not shifting out of 2nd only happened once so far, but the shifting between gears has been erratic the last few weeks. Talking to other people who own F-150’s, this seems like a common issue with these trucks.
Transmission jerks, and stalls. Drive train noise. Engine cuts out and has rough idle.
The vehicle has given codes P0018 and P0021 on multiple occasions. These codes are likely due to an issue with the cam phasers. This is a known issue due to a design flaw.
The 10 speed transmission is inconsistent in shifting especially when cold ... Also grabs and clunks if slightly rolling backwards when moved to drive (inconsistent). Creates unpredictable driving situations.
Truck hesitates, wants to shut of and does shut off. Wrench indicator comes off and on. Truck Shuts off at stop light and needs to be restarted.
The 10 speed transmission in the truck slips into neutral during acceleration. I usually loose 2nd or 3rd gear. The engine RPM spikes to 4-5000 and the vehicle coasts to near stop before transmission grabs again. It can create a danger on highway acceleration ramps or at stop signs. It happens intermittently and has been going on for 9 months or so.
The f150 was purchased new with 5miles on it. The truck broke down on me within the first 16hrs of driving it off the lot. A temperature sensor had failed and shut down the truck while driving 70mph which was not safe I had no control of the vehicle and barely made it to the break down lane. That issue was resolved and the part replaced. A week later after driving the truck everyday for my daily commute to work I started experiencing vibration at highway speeds 60+ MPH. The vibration is felt throughout the steering wheel and in the seat you can feel the console and everything vibrate. The transmission clicks,blacks and clunks like like 15yr old vehicle. The shifting is sloppy, jerky and occasionally delayed and will not respond when letting off the accelerator to slow down or change lanes,

The metal fuel line from the canister up to the high press fuel rail developed a crack and ruptured without warning. The vehicle was unsafe to drive because it poured a significant amount of gasoline onto the ground when the fuel pump came on. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for repair. The fuel line was inspected by the dealer's technician, rupture was confirmed and both fuel supply and return lines were replaced. After repair was performed, the dealer service representative showed me the fuel line that was replaced.

The truck cut off while rolling up to a stop sign. And an error code came up the dash.
Truck was taken in for cam phasers issues multiple times and said was covered under 21n03. Ford won’t say why other than it doesn’t fall in serial number break. 21n03 says there is no sn distinction just has to be made at these plants which mine was. I have been lied to multiple times by ford and have come to them with new information and still told they won’t even look at case because I have been denied once already. I had to pay 5k out of pocket and cam phasers are now failing again within 90days. Ford is a joke and doesn’t stand behind what they build. (I AM NOW FULLY AWARE) FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT TAKEN THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OR REMEDIES FOR CONSUMERS THAT OWN THEIR PRODUCT TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE A SERIOUS/DEADLY INCIDENT OCCURS *MAY YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS

The drivers door handle was built in such a manner it leads to easy vehicle break ins. Criminals have determined it is very easy to beak door lock tumbler and open the door thru the vertical rod. This all occurs without setting off the security system of the vehicle.

The headlamp seals broke. The headlamps have condensation in them during inclement weather or after a car wash.this makes driving at night extremely dangerous as the condensation refracts the light reducing the effectiveness of the headlamps to illuminate the road. I almost went off the road several times from colorado to texas driving at night due to this issue. Ford maintains that condensation in the headlamps is normal and refuses to repair them under warranty. They have offered to assist me with financial assistance to repair the headlamp, which is an admission of fault. Yet, Ford expect me to pay for defective headlamps. I have located several videos and forum posts where others have been experiencing the same issue. The question is why is Ford being allowed to get away with not h
