Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"At times while towing my camper, there is a vibration from the transmission on takeoff, until it shifts to 2nd gear. The other problem is rough shifts from 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th, after that it shifts fine. The dealer could not replicate it, so they couldn't do anything about it. For the towing problem, I told that that they are now going to experience it, without towing my camper."

"The transmission intermitently makes a clunking noise and a vibration that you can feel when up shifting and down shifting. The typically happens in 5th gear and when engaging in reverse 1 use of the day. It didn't start doing this until about 5,000 miles. I have noted this with the dealer 3 times with their response that the computer shows no code. It is very obvious and apparently this is a growing problem with these 10 speed transmissions."

"The new 10 speed transmission clunks hard shifting up to 4th and back out of fourth. It is hard enough I am concerned about u-joint driveshaft damage. Ford work on twice with updates...no better on my $50,000 truck!"

"Consistently stumbles or stalls when shifting from 3 to 4 or 4 to 5 on first drive of every day. two dealers have tried unsuccessfully to correct it. Each dealer has made it worse. Each dealer has kept vehicle multiple days and each has indicated numerous code problems."

"Transmission is constantly “hunting” in between gears when driving around town, jerky like it’s unable to decide what gear it wants to be in.. the transition between gears is awkward and not smooth."

"10 speed transmission is awful.......they lied and said it will adjust within 1k miles did not.....now its like they ignore me ..i will go back again and try or ask for a buy back as this is a lemons"

"When slowing down the down shift is rough and you can feel it. Then when you speed up the up shift is also a hard shift. I feel it should be much smoother."

"Mine shifts hard ONLY into 5th gear during slow and go traffic type acceleration. drops into gear so hard that the rear differential clunks. any other time it shifts just fine. sometimes it seems to downshift slowly at highway speeds, so slowing to an exit, it will stay in 9th or 10th, when you accelerate out of the ramp, it abruptly drops to 7th or 8th pretty hard, but this is rare."

"The 10 speed transmission is shifting roughly at lower gears... up and down for no apparent reason. Ford dealer unable to verify."

"transmission slips between 1st and 2nd gear (engine revs like it's in neutral for 2-3 seconds ) then goes in third gear.intermitent problem."

"It would not shift out of 1st gear. I had to stop, put it in park and turn off the engine. Then start the engine and it worked."

"Adaptive learning needed to be reset, downshift issues"

"Ford has been slow to develop software to correct the transmission issues.. and as a result slow to address the concerns. Trying to schedule this to be looked at by local dealer is sometimes 2-3 weeks out... versus for same week a year ago when scheduling routine maintenance on previous vehicle. Maybe their workload has increased that dramatically for other F150s with 10-speed transmission issues too?"

"rough shifting"

"The CD player would player a CD for about 2 minutes and then quit playing. You could skip forward but it would not play. You could take the disk out and wait a bit and then reenter the CD, sometimes it worked sometimes it did not...the CD player has been changed out 2 times and the 3rd one in now quits once in a while. Frustrating."

"Screen will freeze and sometimes will take a very long time to recognize the android phone that is paired with it. Sometimes it will stop working completely in the middle of an application. Not very impressed with SYNC 3"

"With the screen freezing up I was unable to have GPS, radio selection at times, and / or Apple Play."

"The display screen would go blank intermittently. I took it to the dealer one day when the problem occurred and dealer replaced the electronic module behind the display. I have not had the problem since."

"The dashboard display contains several fairly useful features. It is odd, but the display that shows what gear you are in works ~ 10% of the time. It doesn't affect function, just is annoying. Also the trailer toe detector - on the dashboard screen - doesn't consistently work."

"The GPS system simply did not work. It finally had to be replaced completely. After being replaced completely it has worked just fine. My son has had similar problems with his truck with the same result."

"program had to be reset"

"The distance to turn displayed is always inaccurate, varying from 50 ft to .25 miles. The dealership first upgraded the software, but nothing improved. The dealership tried replacing the GPS antenna and when that didn't help, replaced the entire unit."

"The GPS system would freeze at times and indicate it was not available. Both of my issues were resolved when they replaced the computer board for my F-150 at the dealership."

"The navigation system quit working. The dealer had to order replacement modual. Took a week to get it and then the dealer had an issue with the setup that took 2 extra days. They provided a loaner after the first day. Works fine again now with no further problems."

"Factory nav sux. My 8 year old Magellan works better"

"Trucks Sync 3 system WILL NOT update by itself as heavily advertised. Ford pushes it off to another division who pushes it back to Ford. 1 1/2 yrs old...no fixes. Bad purchase for $50k. Truck under warranty and they will not replace system, Ford corporate pushes it back on dealer"

"The radio/ touch screen/ blue tooth system was not working properly. My phone would disconnect, and not reconnect until I restarted my truck. The radio would freeze up, and need the truck restarted to work. There were several other radio problems, but all seemed to be fixed with the dealer doing a reprogram of the system."

"Almost worthless"

"very loud intermittent grinding noise"

"while driving a chatter happened from the front left wheel area. It was real sporadic. kind of sounded like a heat shield,."

"Noise in the front end when turning the steering."

"front left wheel noise relating to vacuum driven gear engagement. Periodic problem just defined...must be a service notice out on issue"

"Defective front differential in 4x4 mode, bad grinding and rumbling when engaged"

"both ESC and traction control lights came on, steering became heavy and lack of power"

"Unreliability and the reliance to be assured of the performance required to navigate a road condition"

"ESC light came on as well as abs light and steering got heavy. Twice in to dealership, replaced battery and then rear wheel sensor. No further problems"

"same as with the ESC"

"Slippage problems caused traction problems"

"Defective motor in transfer had to be replaced and rebuilt transfer case"
