2017 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

Shift hard while driving. Hesitates from the stop position to go when pressing the gas

The power moon roof components are made from plastic, which over time have cracked from sun exposure. When the rail system cracked, it caused the sliding glass panel to become loose and rattle around while driving. It also allows water to enter the inside of the vehicle when it rains, causing damage to electrical components.

In June 2025 and again in December 2025, when my truck stopped at a Red Traffic Light and I applied my brakes to stop the vehicle, my two rear wheels/tires started to spin rapidly non-stop for 60 seconds or the duration of the traffic light, causing a great deal of smoke and noise. My truck acted like a "Drag Racing" machine on a short track revving its engine and spinning its tires for a very short burst of speed down the track. Cars behind me kept their distance and I thought my truck would bolt forward at any time causing a serious accident. I applied my brakes as firmly as possible, praying my truck would not lose control and bolt forward into the lane of traffic. In June, my mechanic thoroughly inspected my vehicle for four hours, going on a test drive, pulled off all the wheels and checked every...

I purchased a 2017 F150 in March of 25’. Miraculously no issue started until approx 4000 miles after the purchase. The dealer warranty was good for 3500. In the months that preceded issue after issue began to arise. First and least important in my personal opinion. I get in my truck to head to work and my sliding back glass is laying in backseat, completely intact with the track it slides on. One would initially think the GA sun maybe warmed the adhesive to such a Temp that it came loose but my truck is parked in the shade every day at work & at home. Insurance won’t cover it because they say it’s on Ford. Next I have lost power steering, when loosing it i have apparently lost all of steering, uphill downhill assistance an approx 10 other warnings that come every time i crank it. I have been...

Fords around the 2017 year have an issue with their backup cameras not working which is the issue mine is having. When putting truck in reverse backup camera is fully fuzzy with green lines or just goes fully back. It still beeps and can detect something close, but the actual camera doesn't work anymore.

Vehicle was sitting in driveway running. I turned on the front and rear defroster to clear windows before driving. Approximately 60 seconds after turning on rear defroster, the back window shattered. Multiple reports online indicate this is a common occurrence in F-150 and should be looked into further.

Rear sliding glass window track pops loose which is extremely common with these and should be fixed by ford. I’ve had mine fixed twice already. It’s unsafe and unfair for this many customers to have this issued and ford not warranty it or recall it.

I work on route 95 doing road construction and I am usually running highway speeds. When leaving work heading up 95 the truck threw itself in second gear out of nowhere. Almost got hit in the fast lane because I could not maintain speed and RPM’s went to 7500. Had to pull over turn the truck off and on and it was fine. It can drive fine for a few hours or a few minutes then the transmission will downshift again out of nowhere while just throwing up a wrench light when it happens that then turns off. It has happened about ten times now. Sitting in driveway. Nice truck to scary to drive.

Since purchasing this vehicle from a dealership, I have had repeated problems with getting a blue screen on the rearview camera when truck is in reverse. This results in no visibility for backing up other than mirrors. A soft reset would often resolve the issue. However, now it is nothing but a blue screen. Why is the recent recall not including the F150 trucks?

Transmission makes a sudden hard down shift..... and it always throwing codes ... well maintained but getting too expensive.... 2017 F150 ecoboost 3.5... jumped into lump mode while between 2 semi trucks and one one my side also.... I held down on the throttle so that it wouldn't stop in between the semis and finally had a chance to pull over.... turn my vehicle off... it drove normal but now have another code... possible misfire.... cylinder 1 and 4.... last month it was cylinder 3... I've talked with Ford on helping with the bill they said they don't do that... but offered me some other things that may be covered undered some other recall.... every other month it's something... ooo yeah, had cam phaser done also.... out of pocket... can't find the cam phaser bill but if you need it I can request a copy from the mechanic shop.... [XXX]...

2017 Ford F150 with 2.7 Ecoboost Since Oct 2024 thru Present Error code P2450 with Check Engine Light Same issue with 2016 models and there are no recalls fore the 2017. WHY??? After vehicle sitting off fore shoot periot check light comes on with same error code Looks like your FIXD Sensor showed Engine Code P2450 on your 2017 Ford F-150 Definition: Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Performance About Engine Code P2450 Indicates a malfunction with the evaporative emission system switching valve, specifically its performance or operation, which may lead to incorrect fuel vapor management within the EVAP system.

Sudden jerking movements when accelerating and braking. Needs new transmission. Reading there have been many reports of 10R80 transmission issues with Ford

Driving interstate and a wrench warning came up on dash screen. I knew that wasn’t good. Two Local mechanics diagnosed as circuit A (transmission) needs replaced. Park light not illuminating and won’t even crank to start. I got it started , finally, and wrench came back on. Loud “thunk” noise when switching into reverse Was advised NOT to drive until repaired as it is dangerous to me and others Recall was issued for 10 pin and needs to recalled for 6 pin ASAP Ford is welcome. To check it out anytime as I just have it setting waiting on recall. I need a truck, please issue recall

Transmission downshifts and back tires locking up.

I was driving on the PA turnpike and upon hitting a pothole or bump the mount on the frame that the lower control arm bolts onto broke off. I was going under the speed limit with two small children in the car and a piece of my frame broke off after a slight bump. Every mechanic and person I speak to at ford is saying it shouldn't have happened and they can't believe it. There was no warning and I drove onto the turnpike got almost all the way home before it randomly broke. I spoke with Ford and they are unwilling to help after running my VIN. They say unless I put a complaint in and you open a recall that they will not help me. This is a 2017 truck with minimal rust it should not be breaking off a simple bump on the highway. I had a...

Back up camera does not work blank blue screen or freezes up or graney view can't see any possible hazards behind vehicle.

My 2017 Ford F-150 is experiencing an oil pan leak. F150 model is equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine. This is a lack of RTV adhesion at the oil pan seal. My dealership wants over 1k to fix which I refuse to pay. This issue was created by poor engineering and craftsmanship on Fords end and the consumer should not have to pay to fix this known issue. I understand there is a fix that involves a 1-piece aluminum pan, as seen on many you tube videos. I'm requesting that Ford be held responsible for fixing this issue and not the consumer, who paid a lot of money for this truck. Any help in getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated.

When the vehicle is started, the cam phasers rattle, and yes, it is available for inspection upon request. Ford mechanics and other mechanics have stated that if not replaced, the cam phasers will eventually fail. This puts others at risk as the auto start/stop feature shuts the engine off anytime the vehicle comes to a stop. If the cam phasers failed while stopped in the road, the vehicle would not start back up, causing a rear end collision and possible injury/death to anyone on the road. The problem exists in the 2015-2018 Ford F150 3.5L ecoboost. Ford resolved the issue in the 2019 model F150 by replacing the cam phasers with ones that are built with better quality. I am unsure if the vehicle issue has been inspected by others. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It first appeared...

I was driving on [XXX] in Dallas when the top track that holds the rear sliding window became detached from the inside of the truck, causing the sliding glass window to fall forward and into the vehicle. This window falling created a void causing me to have to pull over and repair it the best I could. I have since learned that Ford used double sided tape and a small amount of adhesive to attach the track to the vehicle. I have also learned that this is a very common problem with this window track system. My truck is being inspected by Ford this morning, but I was told that there are no active recalls for this defect. There was no advance warning for this window failure.

The moonroof gets stuck while I try to close it and stays open

For the 4th time I am driving my truck, unexpectedly out of nowhere the transmission shifts, tires lock up, I am perked into the steering wheel and can't accelerate over 15 mph. Cars forced to dodge around me, horns blowing and I have no choice other than creeping on side of road until I decides to move. Please do something about thus hazard before something more serious happens

Backup camera inoperable, unsafe

On March 30th I filed a complaint #11654561. Since that time the vehicle has progressively gotten worse. Traveling at approximately 55 mph the tires suddenly locked up/stopped rolling at normal speed, jerked the truck and I was flung forward. the vehicle would not go over 15 mph AGAIN! Then, on [XXX] I was traveling home approximately 65 mph and truck downshifted and wouldn't move beyond 20 mph. This is getting out of control that I continue to have transmission problems with this vehicle. Talking with a Ford representative he said many problems have been with the transmission conductor plate, there is a defect and having it replaced with any product other than the Ford piece seems to resolve the problem. This is incredible, Ford is telling me what the problem is and won't fix it. How many other people are going through this same problem and we as Ford customers...

2017 F-150 Platinum Supercrew 4WD Recently Purchased from dealership, drove for 2k miles and started having engine knock. Did research and found identical sound, Cam phaser knock/rattle. This is still a high priority issue and a known issue as it can cause engine failure and manufacturer is unhelpful and unwilling to investigate and/or offer guidance. I talked to dealership that preformed the “recall” previously and they stated that no part was replaced and ford issued a software update to use as a bandaid instead of a permanent repair. It will cost upwards of $6,000+ to repair through dealer and ford refuses to be of assistance. I am requesting that the NHTSA reinvestigate the issue and open back up a recall request to the general public due to it being a safety concern. If the engine implodes on the highway, it can cause a major accident and/or fatal injury to many...

Transmission will change gears while driving. I can be driving 45 mph in traffic, truck will automatically shift and I'm now going 15 and cannot speed up. There is no warning lites on dash before issue occurs. Called dealership who had no solutions to offer. I cannot be the only one experiencing this issue from reading online forums and Ford needs to be held accountable for faulty equipment. This is a safety issue in traffic for my family.

Composite oil pan gasket failed causing a leak of oil which also saturated the fabric liner under truck which broke do to oil saturation. It is a safety issue with the plastic oil pan as well as the liner. Do to oil leaking can cause a fire and detachment of liner which can damage other drivers. Available for inspection if it can be done soon dealership confirmed leaking and ongoing issues with oil pan on ford f150 3.5L ecoboost turbo. No symptoms until oil light came on do to composite plastic oil pan gasket and plug failed liner detached and can be a serious fire hazzard,environmental, and poor engineering by Ford. It was reproduced when I left the dealership only to return immediately. Engine light came on.

Paint is peeling and falling off due to a manufacturer defect and causing a driving hazard.

Drivers side door will not shut in cold weather. Unlock/lock switch will not work.

My 2017 Ford F-150 demonstrates every single aspect of an existing recall for 2017 F150 vehicles. However my VIN number is not included in the recall. My truck shifts suddenly in and out of gear causing me to have momentary instances of no power. This has happened, for example, turning left on busy roads with acceleration disappearing in critical moments. The vehicle downshifts suddenly on occasion. The gear indicator moves rapidly between gear 10 and gear 1. The vehicle routinely does not downshift to 1st gear at stoplights. The vehicle often shifts hard from gear to gear. The vehicle sometimes cannot go to the next gear, say from 7 to 8, and will be in some version of neutral during this time before finally connecting. Electronic issue plague this particular vehicle. All of these items have been noted in the existing recall. I am requesting an expansion of the recall...

Door latch on both front doors continues to intermittently freeze and will not either open or allow the doors to remain closed.

Cam phasers make engine rattle at startup and idle. A recall has been put out but the dealer did not get the issue fix and sold it anyway. Also rear sensors don't work right.

DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER AND DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETLY

Oil pan leaking, front oil pan leaking on RH. Valve covers failed for updated oil pan. RTD seal leak. Seen that this is a current recall. But my VIN isn't showing this recall. But I'm having this issue.

I was driving home and noticed that the back mirror light was on. I tried to turn it off using the button, but it wouldn't go off. Confused, I pulled over to the side to check what was wrong and found that the rear sliding glass was leaning forward on my back seat. The track that was apparently holding it in place had come unglued! I could not believe it. It was raining and I was still a one hour drive away from home.

2017 Ford f150 Raptor transmission 10r80 has been many complaints of Ford owners due to safety issues. My truck jerks from Park to drive. Also when driving, the gears don't shift correctly. I'm hoping their is a solution that Ford needs to pay and take care of this transmission problem. As in the meantime I have my Ford truck in the Dealership hoping it can be a Recall.

When driving on hills or moving from a stop to get into traffic the vehicle will go from 4th gear to 1st and won’t accelerate. After this happens I’m alerted with “Powertrain system fault”. This causes a safety issue for me and others because on hills it won’t accelerate and it rolls backwards. From a stop trying to get into traffic it won’t move and becomes a collision waiting to happen. This problem happens very frequently but hasn’t been confirmed or inspected yet. The only warnings are “Powertrain System fault” No systems and first appeared late June of 2024

The thin decorative steel cover on the wheel lug nuts are cracking at the corners and deforming to the extent that they would be difficult to get off with the provided tire wrench in a roadside tire failure. My tire shop had to drive a socket on, then drive it off.

While I am driving my vehicle the speed drops while I’m pushing on the peddle. After a few seconds the gear catches itself and I can drive at normal speed.

Rear window shattered this morning during start up. I auto started the vehicle this morning at approximately 3:35. When I went out to get on about 7 minutes later, smoke bellowed out the door. I quickly shut off the vehicle and opened the hood, nothing indicated an issue.m but when I walked around the vehicle I noticed the rear window buldging out and shattered, the window was hot to the touch.

2/29/2024 driver side tire was flat 3/1/24: I wanted to put the spare so that I could take the fire for repair. But the factory issue lug nut wrench does not fit. How can you do this to people? This is ridiculous 3/2/24 I went to the store to buy a nut remover This should not be allowed to happen and you get away without giving the customer a proper tool

After takimg.my ford to the dealership to correct the frozen door latch issue , my doors are still latching. This is a serious safety issue as the door will not latch properly and you have to hold the door closed to get the vehicle home. All 4 doors experience this latch issue. I have had to tie my door closed with a cell phone charger cord just to get the vehicle home. This is unacceptable with the price of vehicles

I had the recall repaired on my 2017 F150 in 2022, for the freezing door latches not latching and letting the door stay closed. I did have issues with it in ’23 but it was only once or twice and I didn’t do anything about it. I had issues with the latching again this winter (Jan. 2024) and had a new problem where the door would not UNLOCK and just brought it into Ford to maybe have them do a recall fix on latches again on it but they said there is nothing they can do. It is our only vehicle right now and my wife is currently pregnant and my main concern is us needing to leave in an emergency and not being able to get the doors open because of the locks or then having them not able to stay shut cause the latches won’t work.

When I use the brakes, the doors open and passengers fall on the roadway. Then get struck by passing vehicles. It hurts when getti ng run over. Plus it sucks when the doors open randomly in traffic.

Door lock fails. I have to climb out windows to exit vehicle in an emergency. The locks are frozen.

Door opens but will not latch and hold when you shut the door.

On12.26.23 I entered my 2017 F150, closed the door, and the rear window shattered, causing glass to enter the back seat- falling on my child who was seated in the rear. I called the local Ford dealership because my truck is under warranty to 100,000 miles. The dealership said they refer people with that problem to a local glass shop. I took it there to be repaired, total cost with tax was $1067.00 There were no warnings, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to this happening. ***this submittal has an area to attached the service invoice- this function will not work for me, but I do have the invoice if needed.

Hit from behind. Rage driver attempted manslaughter trying to force us into high speed traffic. Hit us a 2nd time. Driver hitting us refused to yield information; name, address, insurance, registration. Obtained via Oceanside Ca. Police incident # 2300118069. Cause- no accountability due to No Fault Insurance practices

On the morning of 12/12/23 it was a cold morning, the driver side door was frozen the door wouldn't secure. Had to heat up vehicle to get door lock to engage.

My truck's instrument cluster fails to turn on preventing me from seeing mph,fuel level, etc. Ford has a recall number(17C01) for this exact issue but my vehicle's VIN is not included

The driver side door would not unlock by either using the key fob or manually using the key in the door. This seem to occur in cold weather. It was 20F this morning and the vehicle was parked outdoors. This has occurred multiple time, so I though I’d report. If by chance the door unlocks, the latching mechanism will not function, nor will the locking of the door, so can’t drive until the car is well warmed up, usually 20 minutes of idling with the heater on. I have backed out of my driveway and the door is not latched, and opened when turning right.
