“While driving at 60 mph on highway my transmission will switch from Drive into Neutral and alternate in from Drive to Neutral randomly. Crash prevention sensors stop working at the same time. This causes safety issues for me and passengers as I am not able to control speed. It shifts out of high gear into a lower gear and feels like it is only operable in this one gear. Unable to tell which gear because the gear indicator lights on dash stop working during this time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11624838, filed 2024-11“Several extremely dangerous situations occured within 6 months of purchasing brand new 2015, F-150, 3.5, 4x4 ecoboost king ranch model. While driving on interstate, in rain, passing an 18 wheeler, without warning forward collision lights go off and truck begins slamming the brakes on by itself and the car behind me had to slam on his brakes to avoid a SEVERE crash. I brought truck to dealership they checked it out and said they wasnt sure why it happened and reset the computer, and put me back on the road. …”
NHTSA complaint #11644867, filed 2025-02“While driving there is a hard clunk sound then blind spot system, cross traffic system fault and see manual alert comes ON. Truck loses power and shifts out of D (Acts as if in neutral). Has happened about 7 or 8 times now. Very scary situation and can be tragic if this situation happens at high speed. I have done some research and I know there have been recalls for transmission lead frames on older model F-150's. Sounds and feels to be the exact same situation for my 2015 F-150.”
NHTSA complaint #11515568, filed 2023-04“While driving at approximately 35 mph, the blind spot warning and rear traffic warning system indicated that there was a failure to the system. I parked the truck and then tried to restart the vehicle. The truck would not start. When it was diagnosed at the dealer, they found a faulty lead frame in the transmission. This part was then replaced. I have checked with Ford and my vehicle is NOT being recalled at this time. I have seen other recalls involving lead frame in other fords that have the same transmission as mine.”
NHTSA complaint #11611376, filed 2024-08“My truck has two issues . Back up camera is faulty and the dealer refused to repair. It was going on and off at times which is a problem when you are trying to back up and not have an accident. The truck brake pedal got stuck and it was causing my truck to rev up and down I was able to get it home and it cost me thousands to fix at the dealer. Red mccombs dealership on I 10 in sa texas is where I go they dont want to fix anything on a recall and you have to pay each time and then they dont fix. I could have had a serious accident each time but I feel blessed that I didnt”
