| Description of the problem | The f150 was purchased new with 5miles on it. The truck broke down on me within the first 16hrs of driving it off the lot. A temperature sensor had failed and shut down the truck while driving 70mph which was not safe i had no control of the vehicle and barely made it to the break down lane. That issue was resolved and the part replaced. A week later after driving the truck everyday for my daily commute to work i started experiencing vibration at highway speeds 60+ mph. The vibration is felt throughout the steering wheel and in the seat you can feel the console and everything vibrate. The transmission clicks,blacks and clunks like like 15yr old vehicle. The shifting is sloppy, jerky and occasionally delayed and will not respond when letting off the accelerator to slow down or change lanes, you will go to hit the accelerator again and the transmission feels like it slips or is delayed. The 10 speed transmission is a poor and unsafe design. Ford needs to be held accountable before these things kill someone. My is scheduled to go to the 3rd ford dealer this monday 12-23-2019 they are telling me its a steering damper causing it. It is not a damper causing these vibrations and sounds i have a very extensive background of mechanics and i know a junk transmission. Ford is well aware of this problem with thousands of other complaints from consumers with the exact same symptoms. These are lemons and should be bought back from ford. |
