NHTSA complaint 117683812022 Ford F-150 10 speed automatic transmission. The issue started with a clunking noise when shifting, then progressed to clunking more often and skipping gears when shifting, now the vehicle gets stuck in gear. This has ultimately left us stranded in traffic when the vehicle will not shift into gear. We have now been told by the dealer that the transmission will need to be replaced, only after their initial incorrect diagnosis to overhaul the differential. I have never owned a vehicle for 4 years that has required such major service due to mechanical issues, not to mention the cost!
NHTSA complaint 11768082I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly downshifted and slipped gears and jumping up gears. This occurred while taking off and slowing down creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting while merging, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or traveling at highway speed can create a collision hazard. Because I personally experienced this unexpected transmission event, I request that NHTSA investigate the 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve condition in Ford F-150s. Please review Ford warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, consumer complaints, and field-failure data to determine whether this is a safety defect requiring a recall. I believe owners should not have to wait for a potentially dangerous transmission failure before this known condition is addressed. I had my truck into a dealer in 2025 ( under warranty 44K miles )and they had admitted they were short handed for transmissions and after eight days I called them and they said just come pick it up as they did not find any issues. Fast forward to this year 68K miles and they said it needed to be completely replaced with a new one for $14,000.

NHTSA complaint 11763028The daytime running lights are out. Vehicle is available for inspection. This puts my safety and the safety of others at risk by not being o by reducing visibility of the vehicle during low light scenarios where the headlights are off. Example I live in an area with lots of fog and drive a gray vehicle that is not clearly visible if headlights are off due to light exposure. Problem is consistent and able to be reproduced for inspection. Vehicle has not been inspected by any agent to this point but it is available and will be noticed upon inspection by direction. There are no warning lamps or messages alerting driver of malfunction which poses another safety risk. Problem has been consistent for past 3 weeks upon every start.

NHTSA complaint 11761875i was driving on XXX south to grab some Mexican food for dinner. on the way at one point i smelled something burning like an oil smell. but didnt see anything and suspected it was the old car in front of me. and my f150 was running fine. when i got out at the restaurant i did not see or smell anything around the truck. i went in to find they were closing at 9:00pm and it was 8:40ish. so i left telling them id stop back another day. was driving north on XXX heading home when around the same area of [XXX] 51 I smelled something burning again. once again i didnt see any smoke around my truck, no one was beeping at me or anything. and the truck was running/working well. i figured maybe its someone with a fire in their yard. further down [XXX] about 300 ft before [XXX], i smelled smoke stronger this time and looked up and to my right and saw smoke pouring out of a vent or something on the headliner. realizing that the truck is obviously on fire i wanted to get it off the street asap so as to be less a danger to others. so i turned up [XXX] at the intersection and pulled off the side of the road as far off as i could get the truck. grabbed my phone from the passenger seat and exited the truck in a hurry. as i looked over at the truck i saw flames coming up from underneath between the cab and the bed of the truck - looked to be centered under the truck. i ran about 150 feet from the truck and called 911. i turned around as i was talking to the operator. and the truck was completely ingulfed in flames. thankfully i made it out when i did.

NHTSA complaint 11761379Daytime running lights (LED) in headlights burn out/quit working. Currently it is only the pasenger side of my vehilce but its a common issue and eventually both passenger and driver side DRL's quit working. there is no repair for this, only option for the owner is to replace the entire headlight assembly and that is extremely costly.
NHTSA complaint 11760881Emergency parking brake came on and would not turn off even when I tried to do a reset. We had to have the truck towed.
NHTSA complaint 11760339While driving, my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost experienced abnormal engine operation, a check-engine light, and reduced engine power. The unexpected reduction in available engine power created a safety concern because loss of acceleration or propulsion can be dangerous when merging, crossing traffic, passing, or traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by an authorized Ford dealership. The PCM stored DTC P0332, Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor “B” Circuit Low. The dealer performed Ford Pinpoint Test DG. Testing reportedly found no open circuit, short to ground, short to voltage, or intermittent circuit fault. The dealer determined that the knock-sensor assembly required replacement.The repair involves replacement of Ford knock-sensor assembly FT4Z-12A699-E, which contains both knock sensors. Access to the assembly requires extensive disassembly of engine fuel and cooling-system components. Ford’s service procedure includes removal of both direct-injection fuel rails, draining the cooling system, removal of the coolant pump, and removal of the coolant outlet connector.I am concerned about the possibility of coolant leakage or contamination affecting the knock-sensor assembly because of its location in relation to cooling-system components. I do not currently know whether coolant contamination caused this particular failure. I request that NHTSA investigate whether coolant leakage or contamination in this area contributes to premature knock-sensor failures on 2.7L EcoBoost engines. I have also identified another 2022 Ford F-150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost that was diagnosed by a Ford dealership with a similar knock-sensor circuit-low fault, P0327 also quoted replacement of the same FT4Z-12A699-E assembly. I request investigation knock-sensor failures on 2.7L EcoBoost F-150s, including Ford warranty/field data and whether coolant leakage or contamination contributes to failures capable of causing unexpected reduced engine powe
NHTSA complaint 11760176I was driving and went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. The truck would not stop right away and then the rear tires locked up. Light came on the dash ABS, service traction control and brake system failure, this was a similar issue with the 2021 and 2025 model having issues with the EBB/ECU that was on recall.
NHTSA complaint 11760069My truck was parked on a slight slope in my driveway. I got in to move the truck to my normal parking space. When I started the truck I noticed the emergency brake was on. I put the truck into drive- the truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The truck struck the corner of my deck and didn't stop until I hit the corner at my house. I had the brake pushed to the firewall and the truck would kept accelerating. Thankfully the airbags did not deploy. Significant damage was done to my house and my truck.
