13 problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Consumer was driving the vehicle and tried to set the cruise control. It would not activate. Consumer continued home, parked the vehicle. The next day consumer got into the vehicle, started the vehicle , and proceeded to place it into gear, but vehicle will not longer go into gear. Will contact the manufacturer.
Seal failer at 75 mph caused the overrive to fail, causing transmission bands to fail. I have an extended warranty policy, however, they are not willing to cover the transmission because they feel the transmission was deliberately run with out fluid. The rear seal failed, causing the rear housing to also fail. This all happened unknowingly while driving down the highway at 75 mph. The transmission would obviosly be run low on fluid when the rear seal completely blows out of it seat. I am hoping that you will do whats right and help me get this matter resolved by informing my extended warrantee provider that this insident was unavoidable. Thank you.
Vehicle makes a howling noise, it jerked/ accelerated and a clunk noise when letting off gas. Dealer admitted they heard a noise. Consumer asked for a new rear end, and dealer denied the part.

Pickup jumped out of park into reverse going backwards into garage doing extensive damage. Dealer suggested I contact Ford which I did. They refused to do anything.
While driving transmission will quit working, losing power. Gear shift will lock up when consumer pulls off. Then, shift gear will start working again.
The transmission fluid and filter was changed at 41,306 miles. Service department at dealership now reports that the entire transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Ford initially declined to help with the repair cost, and it is now being reconsidered. Has this transmission type been one that has cronic problems?.
When coasting at highway speeds or accelerating, transmission will hesitate in shifting from 2to3 and 3to4. Has led to nearly being rearended on several occasions. Plaza Ford states nothing is wrong with the vehicle. Also idles hard upon startup and 4x4 does not always engage - dealer also said can't repeat the problem.
Transmission dropped into lower gear & started to severely jerk. Engine revved up to 5,000 rpms. The roads were slippery & wet causing no control of vehicle. Took vehicle to dealership & mechanic could not duplicate problem. The problem is intermittent.
Transmission shifts hard going up a gear and when shifting down a gear.
Whenever vehicle takes off from stop sign or light, it would shift on its own into either 1st/2nd or 3rd gears. Then it would drop back to 1st gear & come to screeching halt. Driver is slammed into windshield when this happens. Its an intermittent problem. At dealership & mechanic can not locate cause of problem.
Consumer wasn't able to increase vehicle's speed due to transmission, and gear stayed in first gear. Also, back window was leaking when it was raining. Dealership was aware of problem.
I had brought my truck to courtesy Ford they had found a part defective in the transmission, the technician had stated they had fixed the problem, when I got truck back it was still having same problems. Told courtesy Ford again that problem restarted, technician checked out again and stated nothing wrong, I am still having my transmission jerk and bang when accelerating and also decelerating.
