general problems of the 2019 Ford F-150 - part 2

Knocking, rattling noise so we brought to the mechanic. Cam phasers and timing chain need to be replaced.

Transmission has erratic behavior. Several times it would not downshift or would hunt for a proper gear with the 10 speed automatic transmission at intersections and when making turns with oncoming traffic. Very dangerous. I have decided to park it. Dealer said it needs transmission replacement.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced hard shifts. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

The truck will not stay in park and rolls backward if on a slope. This has happened several times and I am afraid someone is going to be injured or killed.

In June we started having transmission issues. Collateral was taken to lynch Ford in mt. Vernon IA. When we would drive the unit the transmission would slip. The final incident was when we were driving down [xxx] at 70 miles per hour the transmission began to slip again. We had to pull over off the side of the road as the truck went in to limp mode. We had to continue to drive to the dealer at a lower rate of speed because we could not get a tow truck to pick us up. Dealer informed us the transmission was out and needed replaced. We spent close to 8k to replace the transmission. The collateral had just turned over 100k for miles. Since installing the new transmission we continue to have transmission issue. Truck as been back to lynch Ford for further a diagnostic. They flashed the transmission and told us to drive the unit 400 miles to see if the flash fixes the problem. We have only had the truck less than 8 months. Location stanwood iowa. There should be a recall on these transmissions and owners who spent money to replace the transmission should be reimbursed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Transmission flutters a little before changing from 1st to 2nd gear. In 4th and 5th gear the transmission pauses a few seconds before going into the next gear. From 8th gear to the ninth gear, the transmission jerks really hard. The transmission only has 72000 miles on it. And also the dash board material is coming up. The lane assist jerks really hard sometimes, forcing you in another lane. No warnings or faults during each incidents.

Went to pull out into traffic and the transmission would not go into gear. It would not go forward or reverse, so I had to push it out of the road. There were no warning lamps on for transmission service.

My 2019 f150 has issues with both the cam phasers and the transmission. Every time I turn on my truck I get the Ford “cold start rattle” because defective parts from the factory that Ford has known were defective and later fixed but for some reason my truck was not in the recall. My truck came off the same assembly line and time period of previous csp or recall programs but my VIN was never included. My truck also has 60,000 miles and the 10 speed transmission clunks all the time. I’m not sure if it’s missing shifts or what is breaking but everyone with a f150 around this year knows they are common to have transmission issues. Sometimes my truck doesn’t find the proper gear getting started and will rev high and barely move until it finally gets shift right and gets moving. These 2019 f150 issues are far too common I see them all across the blogs and internet and know a few other owners who have similar issues.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle started shuddering and the rpm became elevated. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the cdf cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 78,000.

Transmission, gets stuck in high gears when only doing 20 mph. Had transmission rebuilt and a new torque converter by a Ford dealer. . Still has issues and they have no clue !!!!!!! it puts strain in the eingine. . . . . . And makes the transmission shutter! this has been since 60,000 miles, truck now has 70,100 miles.

Slipping transmission. Hard shifting/slamming into gear. Typically when driving 35-45 mph.

While driving at highway speeds the transmission goes into neutral or downshifts dramatically on its own. My investigation online reveals that this is a common phenomenon with this model and year and I’m shocked there isn’t a recall for this safety issue because of the danger from losing control of the vehicle at highway speed. The information revealed that some vehicles can be repaired with a software update and many require a complete transmission replacement. Please investigate.

Truck has 66,000 miles and we are going to have to replace the rear differential bearing assembly, gear and pinion. No reason that it should fail in less than 100,000 miles for a heavy duty truck.

Since I got the truck new from Ford dealer when cold it would have a ruff time going from first to second gear but nothing special but after 40000 miles im starting to see the hard shifting happening to many time while driving sometimes I press the gas and the truck reduces speed or it just has a very hard shift actually hurts my back when that happens possibly a chance of lossing cotrol of the truck while driving. . . Scary.

Need software update for transmission and sync to 4 or 5 speed sensor.

Truck starting shifting poorly past 30 days. Taken to local Ford dealer with 84,971 miles and was told the entire transmission needed to be replaced due to bad torque converter and metal shavings?.

Ford has a current recall on their 10r80 transmission, but not all of the vehicles that have this transmission and are experiencing these problems are included? our vehicle that has this 10r80 transmission is experiencing the same symptoms as explained in Ford's recall but our VIN number is not included on their recall list. Our safety is put at risk because it is shifting hard and falls into neutral just as Ford explains in their recall. The vehicle has not been inspected yet because I have been waiting for Ford to notify us of their recall, which they haven't done yet. There has been no warning lamps on concerning this 10r80 transmission issue, but Ford does need to address it on all the vehicles that are experiencing the problems they list in their recall. Please help. Thanks!.

I have a 10 speed automatic transmission. The last month or so, two things have been occurring. 1. A hard shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, usually but not always. 2. Occasionally it will slip from 1st gear to neutral.

Vehicle is shifting hard and has down shifted to 1st gear on highway. Along with skipping gears.

I was driving my vehicle at approximately 70mph and the vehicle suddenly downshifted into a low gear (I believe 1st) causing tires to lockup. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle. Within 5 miles of driving it, the transmission was acting erractic. Was brought to local mechanic and it was determined the transmission is now shot this incident.

My Ford F-150 with 5. 0 v8, 10-speed automatic transmission, and only 46k miles has been diagnosed by my Ford service dept. (angela krause Ford in alpharetta, GA) with the known 10r80 10-speed transmission issue (completely destroyed transmission and drum) and I now must receive a new one. This issue started around 43k miles, but I had no idea of the transmission design flaw that exists. While driving this memorial day weekend (2025) from atlanta to va with my wife and twin girls, we were nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer because the transmission would not let me speed up for several seconds. It wasn’t able to select a gear. When it finally did, the tractor trailer was up to my rear bumper. This was extremely scary and could have been life threatening. There must be a recall issued for this flawed Ford transmission that is in F-150s, explorers, etc. Built before 2022. For owners of Fords that are out of warranty and are expected to pay for this repair is unacceptable. This will financially ruin many people and worse, will lead to a death or more at some point. I beg you to research and do something about this. Thank you.

Transmission suddenly failed at highway speeds with no warning forcing an emergency stop on freeway. The vehicle is 6 years old and has only 62,000 miles. The vehicle has received all recommended maintenance which was performed by the Ford dealer. The vehicle had just received the full 60,000 mile service which includes scheduled service of the transmission. The failed transmission was deemed a complete loss by the dealer .

10r80 transmission in the 2019 Ford F-150 is defective and dangerous. Hard/delayed shifting and shuddering causes vehicle to speed up, slow down and jerk unexpectedly while shifting gears.

Rough idling result in cam phaser and timing belt replacement. While driving the vehicle would accelerate and decelerate on its own making it unsafe to drive. Dealer quoted me $6,095 to replace camp phasers (part #hl2z-6c590-a).

The transmission is slipping, skipping gears, and shifting hard. I have a quote for more than 8k dollars to replace it, even though the vehicle only has 65,000 miles. I live in a very small town, and I personally know more than 10 people who are having the same problem or have already had their transmission replaced.
