Transmission shifts very harshly into reverse and sometimes skips third gear.
1993 Ford F-150 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 40 of 40, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Due to design of clutch pedal assembly which is located under dash, clip on rod is held by brackets which are plastic, and they broke off, causing vehicle not to engage in gear, which may result in a crash. *ak the lever used to move the seat forward broke at 70,000 miles. The consumer states that the clutch slave, three alternators, power windows and heater had been replaced.
This factory rebuilt transmission is the third transmission this van has had in 80,000 miles. The problem exists in the electronic overdrive. Between 35mph and 45 MPH the electronics hunts for a gear with grinding occurring. Eventually the grinding occurs at other speed ranges. The mechanic has seen this occurring on a wide range of ford products causing owners $2,700+ in reopairs each time.
While shifting the clutch the eyelet exploded, causing the gear to go into neutral, not allowing the driver to shift. Dealer has been notified. Owner believes that this part should be steel rather than plastic. *ak

The 4wheel drive, u/joints and drive train have gone out on the truck 4 times, the electrical system has never worked right from day one and has been taken into dealer several times with complaints but never fixed (autolocks on doors and windows don't work after heavy rain or wet, heavy snow storm) the last time the 4wheel drive went out, the front drivers wheel flew off the truck while traveling on the highway. Lug nuts and posts were not loose nor sheared off. Upon contacting ford customer service each time truck taken in, have been told that there have been "no" recalls of any type on our vehicle except for one to check the bolts on the front bumper. The following have shown occassional problems since 1993, but have consistently become worse with the age/mileage of truck: intermitten wipers do not work, dimmer light and other gauges do not work in dash. The transmission has a lot of backlash/kick when putting into gear. The ignition and alternator are consistently getting worse, sometimes it takes turning the key up to ten or more times to get the truck to start. Currently, once the engine gets hot, the truck spits and sputters, almost killing when you slow down and then attempt to accelerate again. The truck recently had a complete tune-up and replacement of all parts with ford authorized parts.
