Ford F-150

"Misfire and too lean codes diagnosed as cylinder failures"

""The whole engine had to be replaced at about 35000 miles because of an oil consumption problem. I was having to put 2-3 quarts of oil a month in it. The first time I took in to the dealership they just put a longer dipstick in it changed a setting on the motor and told me it was normal for it to use a quart or more of oil between oil changes. After driving it more it was still using two or more quarts a month so I took it back in again and later told me oil was leaking into the combustion chamber and the engine would have to be replaced. Almost 1 year later, they got the engine in and replaced it. It still burns about a quart of oil between oil changes but the dealership insists that is normal. I did some searching online and the engine oil consumption problem seems to be a huge problem for the 5.0 v8 engine for many owners. Ford has known about this issue but has failed to do a recall. There have also been some class action lawsuits on this same issue.""

"Cam phasers on my 3.5L eco boost engine were defective and replaced by Ford at no charge."

"Burns way to much oil have to add a quart of oil once a month depending on how much I drive it"

"Engine was using to much oil. After checking it out. They put another engine in."

"two times and 18 months cam phasers failed, resulting in extended 4 to 6 week repair."

"5.0 engime uses a quart of oil between changes. Oil not burned or leaked. Oil just disappears. No repair needed. A quart of oil is too cheap."

"Failure of the cam timing phasors. It still ran but made odd noises. It was in the shop for 5 days. All 4 cam phasors were replaced along with timing chains and guides. The truck only had 49000 miles on it when this happened."

"Cam phaser failed abot 60k miles. $6000 job covered under CA Emissions warranty."

"At 55000 miles a diesel like rattle upon cold start for a few seconds"

""5.0L Coyote V8. Problem started around 70000 miles. Truck would shut off at a stop sign and not b/c of stop/start, you would have to turn the ignition off and on again in order to drive. Only did it a couple times until eventually the cam phasers gave out and needed to be taken to dealership for replacement. Dealer also replaced timing belt and water pump, $6000 cost.""

""The variable cam actuator failed, causing damage to the camshaft. This resulted in rough running and engine noise when starting. It was resolved by the dealer who said that it was familiar with the problem and that they had to replace several actuators in the past. There has been no recall even though the problem is somewhat common with this engine (3.5L V-6 turbo). The repair cost for me was approximately $4000.00. I love the perfromance and fuel efficiencynofthisnengine but I am disappointed with Ford for not offering financial assistance with repairs for a known defect in their engine.""

"Cam phasers need replacement at only 80,000 mi, 6 year old truck. $4,500 not covered,warranty expired."

"The truck made a rattle noise on cold start. Since the cam phasers were bad this In turn ruined the Timing chain."

"Engine rattles on startup. Been told its the fasers . Repair cost $2800 to $7000 depending on chosen shop!!!"

"Had engine run rough when stopped and occasionally stalled when stopped. Problem caused by a bad timing chain. Had timing chains, water pump, anti-knock sensor, gaskets, etc. replaced."

"Cam phaser failure at 90000 miles"

"Took the truck in for what l believed to be the timing chain problem and then was sold that turbos were bad. Replaced them for $4800!"

"Ecoboost rattle"

""Rough shifting, both up and down, started in January 2024. It continued and in March I had Ford look at the transmission. They did a fix on the shipping problem and it worked for two or three months, but then again started up, shifting and downshifting rough again. Finally around September October 2024, I took my truck back to Ford and they either rebuilt the transmission or put a new one in it. They added it transmission problem was popular on the 2019 F150. There was no charge to me as I had extended warranty And they also found the water pump was leaking so they replace that under the extended warranty also.""

"shifts rough sometimes- had it back to dealership a couple times when under warranty -they said nothing wrong"

"10 speed trans slip when shifting gears. I've taken it into the dealership and they said it's normal, but it does not feel right."

"It hangs between 5 and 6 gear when you want to quickly accelerate and it won't shift especially in sport mode"

""When downshift into 6th gear, it slams into the gear. When cold it will do it with other gears.""

""The 10 speed transmission has been banging through the gears since I bought it. After many attempts to get it fixed, I finally reached someone who said Ford would take care of it. When I got it in, the dealer said I would be charged $4000. I called Ford and the person I talked to, and that I had gotten written email from, was could not be found. I decided to let it go hoping there will be a recall. The dealer said many other people with this truck have said the same problem. I know consumer reports has indicated the transmission is a problem in the data they show for their vehicles each year. I have owned Ford trucks for 35 years and this is the worst problem""

"Rough shifting because of a major software issue"

"hesitant or rough shifting when transmission was cold, just started randomly in mid summer and got worse as cold set in, once warm drives fine"

"I was told by ford I did not need to change my transmission fluid at 100,000 miles. Aamco told me changing the fluid would make it worse. I had it done by a transmission shop specializing in pick up trucks and the slipping transmission problem disappeared"

"Sometimes it would stop and not go anywhere or just slip for three or four seconds and then takeoff. They put a brand new transmission in."

"Transmission slipping rough shifting harsh downshifts and severe vibrations"

""The transmission is failing. The transmission doesn't shift properly. Sometimes the engine RPM's increase but the vehicle won't move forward. Finally, when it does shift, it jerks the vehicle forward and the tires squeal as significant torque is applied to the drivetrain. Lately, a warning light in the shape of a wrench appears and the display says to "see manual". A local Ford dealer diagnosed it as a failing internal transmission pump. The problem began well over a year ago but it wasn't too bad so (foolishly) I didn't take it in for service. Now it is past its power train warranty period (at 60k miles). I am very displeased with Ford since based on my research it appears that this is a class problem of bad transmission design, yet Ford has taken no action to appease their customers who own these transmissions. The dealer quoted me $7,700 to attempt repairs but said it could be more if they find other problems during the teardown inspection. They quoted me $12,500 for a new transmission (R&R: remove and replace). I got a second opinion from a local (Vancouver, WA) transmission shop. They said that Ford has not released repair parts yet for these 10R80 transmissions, so R&R is the only option. They quoted me $9,100 plus tax for purchase and installation of a new transmission. My concern is that Ford has not yet remedied the root problem with these 10R80 transmissions, so I am loathe to buy a new but faulty transmission. It appears that my only recourse is to trade the vehicle in (at a significant loss at wholesale for a vehicle with a bad transmission). I have heard of pending class action suits against Ford for this problem but as this is my only vehicle, I cannot wait for anything that may or may not develop on the legal front. Very angry with Ford Motor Company!!!""

"when cold transmission takes 10 seconds to engage- once its warm seems fine"

"Computer needed major upgrade"

""After an oil change, the flap that allows oil to flow properly didn't engage and the engine used all the oil in a matter of days. Had to be replaced. Luckily was under warranty instead of a $1000 charge to replace.""

"Battery goes dead frequently."

"excessive oil usage between oil changes"

"Paint"

"Electrical starter"

"Power fold mirror on driver's side stopped working. Sun roof stopped working"

"The backup camera no longer works. The sensors work, but no camera."

"Exhaust drop down from manifold is 4" away from the Starter/Solinoid causing heating issues under the hood. BAD design! Charging system acts up as well when heated up to operating temperature. Does not happen in winter and cold weather. If I raise the hood and let the heat out when I stop for gas in the summertime, when traveling the starter/solenoid does not act up as much when I leave the hood down with the heat build up. Proven many times! Ford can't figure it out or take responsibility."

"Cam sensor. Major issue"

"stater did not work when it got hot from driving"
