I was on the highway and my truck suddenly decreased speed rapidly. Luckily I was able to pull onto a side road and get to safety but it was extremely dangerous and scary situation. The dealer has confirmed the symptoms fit the issue with the recall. Since Ford does not have a fix for this solution yet until July 1 my vehicle is unable to be driven or repaired leaving me stranded without a vehicle. However, this is a very concerning safety issue and my family could have been severely impacted traveling on the highway.

On or around May 28, 2024. My husband and, I were going to a recital. He was already in the truck.I told him. Pick me up at the mailbox.( I had mail to go in box).I started walking down the driveway(paved). The next thing, I was on the cement screaming. I had been hit, with the truck. My husband ran to help. He said, he didn’t see me. And, the beepers ( sensors)didn’t go off.Rescue was called, checked me out. Did not transport. But, I went to hospital later. Bruises and a broken right arm. Several weeks went by. I really didn’t believe the sensors,didn’t work.We were in a parking spot. But, the truck in reverse. Waited for people to go by. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. We did see people on the camera. Recently, I was behind the truck again. The sensors did not go off! We are very cautious now. Aware of the problem. Why hasn’t this truck been in the recall lists?. The accident was visible on our ring. I have video. But could not figure out to download. I can sent by email.

Several extremely dangerous situations occured within 6 months of purchasing brand new 2015, F-150, 3.5, 4x4 ecoboost king ranch model. While driving on interstate, in rain, passing an 18 wheeler, without warning forward collision lights go off and truck begins slamming the brakes on by itself and the car behind me had to slam on his brakes to avoid a SEVERE crash. I brought truck to dealership they checked it out and said they wasnt sure why it happened and reset the computer, and put me back on the road. It continued to happen 2 or 3 more times until I realized it was only during rain, and when on side of 53' semi truck trailers. The last time it happened was a very dangerous and unnerving experience. truck suddenly begins slamming brakes on again going thru a major city on the freeway in heavy traffic. I brought the truck into dealer, and told them i wasnt driving it until they fixed it.The first year of ownership my truck was plauged with issues. IT constantly went into limp mode while on the freeway. I was working over 3 states and the truck would go into limp mode if I accelerated to pass. I went to every ford dealership shop along the interstate for a 300 mile stretch over the next 4 years while working away from home . Most of the problems were while under warranty. finally they updated software and it stopped. This was a very dangerous problem and the dealerships werent really very helpful. My truck stayed in the dealership shop more than 60 days the first year i owned it. I bought it brand new.

While driving at 60 mph on highway my transmission will switch from Drive into Neutral and alternate in from Drive to Neutral randomly. Crash prevention sensors stop working at the same time. This causes safety issues for me and passengers as I am not able to control speed. It shifts out of high gear into a lower gear and feels like it is only operable in this one gear. Unable to tell which gear because the gear indicator lights on dash stop working during this time. Many warning icons pop up on dash readout during this (check engine, wrench, cross traffic collision, lane assist, etc.) I see on the internet this problem is extremely common due to the 6R80 Transmission Molded Lead Frame failure which has been involved in millions of recalls but for some reason not my vehicle. this is extremely dangerous and could be life threatening to my auto occupants and others in traffic. I have an appointment to have it looked at by my dealer where i purchased the vehicle new in 2015.
