1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2026

We were about 75 miles from the destination when going down hill the transmission would not shift to the lower gear until we were going to fast and then it would down sift very hard. While going up a hill it would down shift ok but as we got up to speed the transmission would not shift up but stay in the lower gear. Finally at very high rpm it would shift up to the higher gear with a very loud clunk. As soon as we got to our destination we took it to a Ford dealer and they said we were lucky because the transmission was on verge of failing completely. Ford has a 60k power train warranty and they said even though it was less than 60k miles my warranty ran out of time 6 weeks ago. If the transmission had failed completely, the car could have had a major safety issue with the trailer behind us. We were not pulling weight more than rated but going up the mountains and the down with only brakes would have been very dangerous. I read that many Ford owners are having problems with their 10r80 ten speed transmission in the larger heavy vehicles such as expedition or f150. Ford authority reported expeditions pulling trailers have the 10r80 transmission failing after 30k miles.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2026

Over the years the engine has felt like it was slipping or stalling. It appears to be increasing more. Sometimes it happens while cruise control is on. Today, the engine slipped for a prolonged time, more than usual, and then rpms decreased. Warning sign of a “wrench” appeared on screen and said see manual. I was also unable to put vehicle in reverse. Slips more at lower speeds when accelerating.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2025

The apim becomes inoperative at random times for ~8 hours. When this happens the entire dashboard goes black and you can’t tell your speed, turn signals, rpm, engine temp, oil pressure, etc. You are driving with no indicators and have no idea what your speed is or any other critical indication. Apim stands for accessory protocol interface module, also known as the Ford sync computer. It's a key component of the sync system in Ford vehicles. Ford has equipped vehicles with the apim since its inception, but there have been complaints and recalls related to it.

5 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2024

The transmission ten gear automatic. Won't go into fourth gear at at all keeps jumping when. Trying to go into first second and third then jumps four. Also on highway it will shut off all together or will start speeding up very dangerous. On side streets it's dies out even more unexpectedly trying to short gears. Already had it in once for problem with the front differential didn't switch gears and never got receipt and think did something to hubs like four thousand dollar fix. Now I serviced it for. Seats they took it on took week to get part in and right tool to fix truck seat it stood with them a week before I called to see what deal. Was I've seen problems with this ten gear transmission already and this will be second time trying to fix these trucks are junk. First problem I had the lights would go out in middle of the night while driving. Then lights wont go off stay on killing battery already in second battery but to fix the transmission problem u half to use speed control just to keep it from shutting off or accelerated of speed. But with this being second time they better fix it if they don't they don't follow the extended warra. Ty and want a payout for the full worth of the truck. It's aife threatening thing with this transmission. Plus had already like ten other recalls onnoy already it's a new truck I wouldn't buy one.

Rear camera recalls for the F-150 are well documented, yet my VIN is omitted. For over a year, the image will be intermittently blue, black, and colored lines.

7 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2023

I reported transmission issue to my dealer years ago. It started when I would start the truck in the morning and put it in reverse. It would do nothing than al of a sudden lunge in reverse. Than it would clear up and not do it for several months. I pretty much got the blow off from the dealer. Cold oil, linkage sticking bs. Of course, now it’s out of warranty. The transmission shifts hard and even slips out of gear. It stalled tonight at a stop light because it banged into gear. I have less than a hundred thousand miles on this truck. It’s not even safe to drive down the road. You never know when it’s going to shift out of gear . Or lunge forward when it shifts into the next gear.

8 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2022

Gear slipping, harsh shifting, jerking, sudden acceleration or hesitation problems, and general loss of power.

9 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2021

My truck went 3 Ford locations and no one really knows why the safety breaks do not work. They claim the car miss the ccm, they have no other codes or guidelines to make it work. The pre-ass collision rarely activates and the brakes does not apply. The auto start stop also is not longer working.
