NHTSA Complaint #11605189 — 2018 FORD F-150

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭: Vehicle is available for inspection. 1) Transmission: Vehicle consistently shifts aggressively around 4th gear (10 speeds total). Vehicle lurches when going above 3rd, however, it shifts correctly after 5th gear. 2) Acceleration: Vehicle randomly lurches forward or backward, depending on whether or not the vehicle is in Drive or Reverse, almost like you are slamming on the pedal, but without having pressed the pedal. This has only happened a couple of times, but it's very noticeable when it does. 3) Auto Start Stop Module: Vehicle will shut off while stopped or almost at a complete stop and the dashboard will have an error message with the auto start stop symbol and instructions that say to put the vehicle in park and turn the key to the off position and then back on. This has happened with the auto start stop button on the truck being pushed in the OFF position. This has happened in traffic multiple times, and once while reversing. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: The vehicle turning off randomly or suddenly accelerating poses a large safety issue when driving on any city streets or parking lots. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯: Not as of yet, however, the 10r80 transmission in this truck has already been recalled on similar models and other Ford vehicles. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟰: Transmission was already replaced in Jan. 2024 with a new factory ford transmission, but still has the same signs of transmission failure. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟱: No lights or messages other than the auto start stop message when the truck turns off.
