Transmission Noise Problems of Ford F-150

Just bought the truck. I took it to the store, then around town. While making a left turn down a side street, I pushed the button for the heat, to turn it off. I heard a weird buzzing noise. My breaks stopped working fully. No breaks at all. No power break, since it's electrical or something. No way to stop the truck. When I tried to push the gas to move. There was no power to the transmission at all. When I finally stopped. I tried to figure out the issues. Switching several options and modes to try to find the solution. Called a mechanic. No codes were given on the system. Had to wait 2 hours for a tow truck. I'm a disabled vet, had to walk back to my house to grab my other car, since I didn't know if this truck was just going to decide to take off with me in it. The whole system is electrical and buggy. Sure enough. Before the tow truck got there, I was with another person who had a similar Ford f150. He went through some options. Without touching the accelerator, the truck started to rev up. We quickly went to the engine to disconnect the battery. If that transmission would have activated it would have smashed into several people, cars and houses. Then that's when I looked up the recall for the 2020 f150 and found all the information I wish I would have seen before the purchase. 365 miles on the truck. Had it less than 14 hours. Drove it for about 20 mins. Noticed premature rust underneath, but didn't think too much of it. A lot of parts were rusting and had no protection.

My 2006 Ford f 150 has 125,000 miles. I went to put my truck in reverse to back up out of my driveway and it made a noise. Apparently revers band in the transmission went. I no longer can put my vehicle in reverse to back up. Very frustrated because the vehicle is very well maintained and it broke for no reason.

My 2012 Ford f150 XLT supercrew ecoboost has about 85000 miles and abruptly went from about 30-40mph to about 0mph a few times now while driving. Once time was very scary on a congested road. After this happened, its like my transmission misfires and misses gears all of the time. There is now a vacuum noise also coming out if the engine and it doesn't run right. I brought it to Ford and they told me that I probably wasn't changing the oil properly (I had changed my oil every 3000-5000 miles regularly. ), but now they said I messed up the timing chain and phasers and they had to be changed for a price of about 4000 dollars. I have owned other Fords not ecoboosts and they all ran fine. I started doing some research and I am sure this is an engineering flaw on the part of Ford. I actually read that the NHTSA did research on this topic. There are tons of forums that have the information on them and believe that Ford should do the right thing and do a recall or fix the problem. I know its a big problem. I don't think it is fair to the american consumer to have to shell out that kind of money on a bad design flaw on apart of Ford that almost got me into an accident bad one time and when my kids and I have to go to an erupt stop. I don't tow anything and drive the truck like a car. This shouldn't be happening.

The vehicle hesitates, idles roughly when cold and makes a knocking type noise at idle when hot. The coolant level has gone down substantially despite having it serviced recently. We have experienced large amounts of water dripping from the tail pipe along with the occasional puff of thick smoke. The vehicle misfires and it has been verified by a scan tool (my own and Fords). Ford's technicians have verified the concern but have told us that without a hard fault, they are not able to look into the problem further. This issue has been brought to their attention several times with no resolution. While it may be related or unrelated, the transmission also jerks when slowing down and has a tendency to lurch forward when going from 3-2-1 gears. This has also been verified by Ford and they have made two attempts using TSB 16-0015 to resolve without any improvement.

8/5/2016 the vehicle was originally taken in for a loud grinding noise coming from the drive train. The problem was intermittent and the dealer said they couldn't reproduce the problem and reflashed the computer. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as I passed someone. 5/22/2017 the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for the same problem with a grind noise coming from the drivetrain. I told the dealer it sounded like cards in the spokes of a bicycle. They tried to reflash the computer and the truck made the same noise as soon as I drove away from their lot. I took it right back and told them that it was not fixed and I wanted them to keep it until it was fixed. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as I passed someone. I picked the vehicle up approximately two weeks later and was told that the entire overdrive unit in the transmission had to be rebuilt. The truck only had 20,067 miles at this point. 9/23/2019 I called the dealership and told them that the noise had returned at that this would make the fourth time it needed to be addressed. They told me that the power train warranty covered any repairs for this up till 60,000 miles. I will schedule a time to drop the truck for a check as soon as I can. The truck has 52,622. 3 miles as of 10/31/2019. The truck only makes the noise at odd intervals when it is between gears or passing someone.

We purchased a brand new 2008 Ford F-150 back in may, 2008. We have only put on it 27,000 miles and have never towed anything with it, we don't even have a trailer hitch on it. On Dec. 10, 2015 the "trans fault" light came on the dashboard while driving on a city street and the truck started making lots of noise and jumping into gear when you put it in "drive". We drove two miles to our home and got it in the driveway. After it was in the driveway, we tried to drive it to a repair shop and it wouldn't got into any gear, not even neutral so it couldn't be moved. On Dec. 11, 2015 we had it towed to a transmission shop where we had to replace the entire transmission or have it rebuilt. We decided to get a brand new transmission, it had a better warranty. Even the transmission guy with 38 years experience couldn't believe the transmission had to be replaced at 27,000 miles. I had contacted Ford but they wouldn't take any responsibility and said that there weren't any recalls.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise progressing while driving 50 mph or in reverse. Also, the transmission jerked in and out of gear without warning. The dealer was notified more than once and was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The manufacturer issued five technical service bulletins for the power train. The dealer (winner Ford, 250 haddonfield-berlin rd, cherry hill, NJ 08034, (856) 428-4000) indicated that they were unable to determine a remedy pertaining to that information. In addition, the contact had a warranty and the dealer stated that the vehicle was 14 days outside of the window to receive warranty service. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

At approximately 12,600 miles on my newly purchased vehicle, I experienced brake vibration, a hesitation and jerk in transmission at low accelerating speed or slowing down and then accelerating, and a loud whining noise from rear end between 60-65 miles per hour. I took it to river city Ford and they turned the rotors for the brakes. I told river city Ford that was unacceptable for a new vehicle and by turning the rotors they just reduced the life of the rotors for a new vehicle. I also told them that the brake pads should be replaced also. I contacted Ford corp and they would not take any action and would not let me talk to anyone higher than a customer service supervisor. River city Ford has had my vehicle in the shop since 7/20/2015. They have tried shimming ring and pinion in rear end and it did not fix the problem. They have tried various things and has not fixed the problem. They claim that adding grease to the transmission supposedly fixed the jerking when accelerating. Ford corp has wasted a lot of time trying to fix a known problem by Ford. My research shows the rear end issue has existed for years and many customers have experienced the problem. Brake vibration, transmission jerking, and loud humming from the rear end are all safety issues, that if a failure occurs, could result in an accident at high speed.

I can be at a total stop with my foot on the brake and the noise it is almost as if somebody has ran into me. Rear axle and drive train are also making noises. I have attached a document that I have received from rod baker Ford for how many times the truck was brought in.

There aren't any real events leading to the failure. I took my truck into the local dealership (gary crossley Ford) to have the speed control recall work done. While there I asked to have a state inspection done as well. I was told by the service advisor that the lower ball joint were somewhat loose and would need replacing - so I had them do that as well as flush the transmission as well (this truck only had 62,000 miles on it). Following that it passed inspections - all was well. Not even one month later (possibly only 3 weeks) I tried backing from my parking spot at work and heard a *thunk* from the rear end. Not sure what it was I backed up more and heard it again. Put the truck in drive and there was a rubbing noise from underneath. I parked it and called a tow rig to take it back to the dealer. Upon hearing from them the following day I was told the carrier bearing in the rear end had "exploded" and I'd need to replace most everything in the rear end. Agreed to have the work done. Got a call a day later telling me that problem was fixed, but there was another - the *thunking* was still there and was likely the transmission. Had them check and sure enough, it needed to be replaced as well. Finding out that Ford was going to "cover" part of the transmission repair made me wonder if there weren't underlying problems that I was not, as an owner, alerted to. The truck never had a problem before these, and I've been very uncomfortable with it since.

My F-150 supercrew has developed a problem with the drivetrain, primarily a loud grinding noise can be heard underneath the truck. The first time it occurred I thought my vehicle had run over some type of metallic object on the roadway. The noise went away after I merged onto a highway. Four days later I was operating on a city street when the same type noise occurred. The vehicle will not accelerate when the gas is depressed and the noise does not decrease when the gas is let off. Only after decreasing speed under 15 mph does the noise go away and the transmission feels like it slams out of gear just prior to that. An associate of mine who owns a 2005 F-150 with the exact same transmission experienced the same problem and recently had the transmission replaced under warranty. I contacted this dealer who informed me that they had replaced approximately 30 transmissions on 2004-2005 model years and the issue was a "known one". I would like to see Ford mandated to warranty the drivetrains in these trucks beyond the normal period.

I currently own a 2005 Ford F-150 4x4 supercrew truck and have started experiencing some grinding/ pulling in the transmission. I first thought it would probably just go away and now it just gets worse each time. The problem creates a rather loud noise and has greatly concerned me. I contacted the dealership where I purchased the truck, rivertown Ford/ columbus,GA, and I discovered that this problem seems to be wide spread with the F-150. I am in process of trying to solve this problem now. Ford motor CO. Needs to issue a recall for this issue.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford f150. The contact states that the automatic transmission is not working properly. While driving up a hill the vehicle will roll back. Also, when driving down a hill the vehicle will roll back as well. In addition, transmission is making a clanking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealership four times, and they would like to fix the vehicle, but they contacted Ford. The dealership spoke with the regional Ford representative, who told them this was normal for the vehicle although none of the other trucks had a similar problem. The contact test drove a 1999 model and drove it the same places where she experienced the problem ,and that vehicle did not experience the same problem. The dealership was going to tear the vehicle apart to see what was wrong with it because they test drove it as well and noticed the problem. This problem is intermittent and gets worse.

2004 Ford f150 problems with upper ball joint assembly as well as tire wear. The upper joint was the cause of the tire wear on one tire. The consumer stated since he purchased the vehicle it exhibited a rattle noise, the side view mirror had to be replaced because it was vibrating so badly, the hood had to be reinforced so it would not flutter at highway speeds. The vehicle needed a new transmission.

While driving the transmission emitted a noise and the gears moved between first and third gear.

Consumer stated that while driving at any speed and no warning the manual transmission will jerk making a loud noise. Dealer replaced three times and the problem is reoccurring. Please provide further information. Mr.

Transmission has failed 2 times in 6 months. And the problem is still there the fly wheel now makes noise. The dealer stated that they replaced the transmission. I dont believe they did so. Because of the way the truck runs.

I am on my second rear sliding window and it is leaking also. I am on my second transmission, and there is a clunking or slapping noise when you come to a stop. A Ford engineer says that this is normal or common on all new Ford pickup trucks. I disagree the truck did not make this sound when it was first new. They have tried 3 or 4 times to fix the popping noise in the dash and have not been able to get rid of it.
