NHTSA Complaint #11692676 — 2019 FORD F-150

During driving, the transmission began hesitating when shifting from 4th to 5th gear. Then in stop and go traffic, it would shift hard from 1st gear to the point my head would slam into the headrest. I would then get a notice on the dashboard of a power train failure. Once I turned the vehicle off, the notice would disappear and the vehicle would begin to shift normally for a while, before the hard shifting would continue. On the freeway, sometimes when the vehicle tried to down shift, it would hesitate and I was concerned I would be rear ended as it would not speed up. I brought the truck into 2 different ford dealerships and they both said it needed a new transmissison. There is 123,00 miles on this 2019 Ford F150. I had also related to the dealerships that there was a rattle when starting the vehicle and they said it is due to the cam shifters or more and a complete engine tear down was recommended. At the same time, the electronic screen would sometimes freeze, turn off when driving or not turn on initally. The dealerships said this needed to be replaced. The estimates for repair were from $16,461 to $13,686.
