Buttons to close are not functional, button to open causes small movement in panel to lift up and down, then stops. Moonroof is stuck slightly down and open.
2017 Ford F-150 transmission complaints
Page 19 of 20: complaints 521 to 550 of 560, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Loud clunking noise when accelerating from a stopped position at stop sign. It's jerky and sounds like something is slipping.
Vehicle rolled forward approximately 12 feet while was in park in a parking lot until it stopped via going up the curb. Vehicle showed that the gear shift was in park and it was parked for approximately 5 minutes before it rolled forward. Am aware of other 2017-18 150s having a pin missing in the transmission but my vehicles VIN is not included in that recall.
Transmission roughly shifts into drive from a parked position and while driving harshly shifts under acceleration and deceleration, creating a loud clunking noise under the vehicle.
My 2017 ford f150 has problems with the transmission, but ford motor company has refused to honor the powertrain warranty and will not authorize the dealership to repair or replace it. The details of what has happened are described in one of two pdf files that I will attach to this submission. I believe that the problem I am having may be widespread and that ford dealerships all over the country may be refusing to repair or replace defective transmissions because ford motor company will not authorize their dealerships to do this warranted work. One of the problems I have had with the transmission is in my opinion potentially dangerous and lethal. On december 24, 2019, while merging on to a busy highway from the on-ramp, with the transmission in sport mode, my truck did not accelerate as I entered the lane adjacent to the on-ramp. When I stepped on the gas pedal, the RPM dial went up to about 6000, but nothing happened. The speed of my truck did not increase, causing the vehicle behind me in this lane to almost rear-ended me. Had this other driver not been paying attention and failed to apply his or her brakes, a serious accident could have occurred. Although the dealership has been very cooperative and has even offered to replace my vehicle with a newer and more expensive one (which I declined), ford motor company (with whom I have traded emails about this) appears so far to be unconcerned and content with the concept that an apparently defective transmission in at least one (possibly millions) of its f150s could compromise the safety of its driver. I am deeply concerned.
While driving and accelerating a loud screeching noise would occur. It would happen once speeds of greater then 30mph. It was coming from the front driver side tire well. It turns out it was a bad iwe solenoid. After doing research this is very common among f150s.
Bought truck drove 40 miles home starting making ticking noise. Called dealer said common problem took to dealership coundnt fine problem. Tonight the motor blew up. Dealership not answering phone calls. Truck only has 30000 miles on it. Don't know what to do . Technican said he thought it was the cam phasers but they didn't fix it
The 2017 f-150 raptor has 31,000 miles on it. In the last 5000 miles the trucks 10 speed automatic transmission has started to shift up and down with abruptness. The shift is noisy and harsh to the point that the whole truck jerks and lunges forward when shifting from park to drive. The transmissions also shifts down real hard so as to cause the passengers the feeling that the truck has been rear-ended by a another vehicle. At this point the transmission is slipping and taking a left turn on a flashing arrow intersection is very dangerous. Ford says this is a normal behavior of the truck although for the first 25,000 miles none of the transmission issues existed. This is a continuous problem.
My new f-150 front differential leaks. When trying to slow down vehicle I can hear knock sound and around front axle and sudden decelerate.
Driving from california to oregon through nevada on interstate when vehicle started to overheat nevada dealer would not even look at the vehicle. Informed ford motor company. Continued to oregon and then on to bozeman montana. Vehicle is now at bozeman ford having the motor dismantled for diagnosis. Was told there is a issue with the number one cylinder, ford corporation has not been of any help what so ever.
Car randomly slips out of gear while driving. Will then try to accelerate after braking and truck slams into first gear rocketing you forward and disrupting driving pretty violently. Sometimes it is easy to get off the road and other times it is extremely dangerous. Generally once I turn off the engine and start it again it is ok for a while. But this is no way to drive and not safe with my kids riding with me. Luckily I drive mostly around town and not on and off highways! This has happened multiple times over the past year. Truck has been in for recalls but no help. Going back in now to see if they can actually 'find' the problem!
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle drifted to the left and right while driving. The vehicle was taken to sheehy ford lincoln of richmond (10601 midlothian turnpike, richmond, va 23235, (804) 293-2212) to be diagnosed and the electronic power steering assist codes were located. The dealer replaced the steering gear and the entire steering column. Also, during another visit, all four tires were replaced and three alignments were performed between dealer visits. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer due to a rear differential failure. The contact stated that the dealer was reluctantly checking the steering again. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 4,000.
The transmission is lagging in between gears almost like it's slipping in gear
Cold cranking noise concerning ecoboost system and lifters...making loud noise and I am being told it's normal...plus clunking noise underneath my truck that sounds like the motor or the drive shafts is going to fall out...I am also being told by dealership that this is normal...I know better...the truck is defective and unsafe. Now they are refusing to address the issues.
On 01-24-2019, I stopped at a red light and noticed an odor coming from my 2017 ford f-150 truck and saw some smoke coming from under the hood. A motorist next to me pointed to the bottom of the truck; I rolled down the window and he said he thought there was a fire under the truck. I pulled over, shut off the truck, saw a small fire on the frame under the engine. The other motorist put it out with a fire extinguisher. A state police officer called the fire dept. Who further extinguished the smoldering. The vehicle was towed. My insurance company sent an adjuster who concluded that the fire was caused by a failed pinon seal in the differential, which is part of the power train. The legal department of ford motor co. (office of general counsel) stated that the fire occurred because the vehicle was driven on pavement in 4wd. I assert that this is not true and is a tactic of ford motor co. To avoid honoring their product warranty or taking responsibility for a potential safety hazard.
Original problem was transmission slamming into gear and slipping when accelerating. The truck was kept at agency for 21/2 weeks. Service manager told me that ford instructed him to quit working on it. Problem of slipping still exist and recently the vehicle jumped out of gear when I was merging onto the interstate, I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
First event: while I was driving back from the countryside on a two way road ' single lane -, I overtook a big truck on an uphill area, and all the sudden my truck died. Lost all the power and I had to make an emergency maneuver to avoid the big truck I was overtaking and also the car that appeared at the curve ahead. It was close. I almost crashed. After calmed me down, I step out of the truck, opened the capot while the engine was idling and making this huge 'valve' noise. I took my phone and recorded a video. Some component on a side of the valve cover was moving and making that noise and all the sudden, I smelled gas, looked down the scape manifold and saw gas all over it. I ran back to the cabin and turned the engine off, took the extinguisher and ran back to the capot. Fortunately nothing happened. Second event: while driving on the highway, with the cruise control on at 120 km/h, on a pretty flat area, the gear shifted from 10 to 7 with no reason at all, and I felt like the truck started to activate the brakes. The highway was clear in front of me. No car or obstacles were near the front of the truck. Seconds after that, the engine started to fail, dropping the rpms like those old mechanical carburetor stuck with a dirt and suddenly, all got back to normal. Fortunately was almost reaching the toll control to access to my city. So I slowed down to 50 kms/h, put my foot on over the brakes and started to press it very gentle. Suddenly and with no warning, the truck sped up itself full gas and I had to dodge a car that was in front of me driving on the line to the toll and press the brake pedal very hard. Several lights invaded the dashboard; low coolant, check engine, the dash board dimmer light and others that I couldn't saw on this fast flash of lights. It was like the cpu was crazy. After that, truck went back to normal, but several obd2 errors got stored.
Transmission will stick and not change gears. Like a dead spot and truck would not go faster. This has happened several times.
Traveling down my driveway, coming to a stop and the transmission gets stuck in 3rd gear. It won't down shift into 1st gear so it won't move forward. I put the shifter into reverse and I am able to back up. Put shifter into drive and still stuck in 3rd gear. Back up to my house and park the truck not able to go anywhere. Go into the house wait a couple of hours and then try it again and everything is okay. This has happened to me 3 other times.
My 2017 f150 xlt with less than 23,000 miles has had its oil pan totally replaced for the second time due to gasket problem. First failure was at approximately 7,000 miles. The repairs were done under warranty but it is a reoccurring problem with this model year on lots of other owners trucks. Even ford dealerships who follow the repair work instruction have gotten the trucks back into their shop for reoccurring failures. Both leaks were caught during regular inspection and at normal oil changes done by the authorized ford dealership. This is an significant and expensive repair for a new truck. I am a very concerned owner worried about even more failures in the future. Why no permanent fix or recall?
When shifting into 4 wheei drive I hear a loud "clank" even when parked. In parking lot if I put it in 4 wheel drive wait a second before shifting into drive but when I put it in drive to start moving "clank" now my 4 wheel drive is inoperable.
Tl* the contact leased a 2017 ford f-150. The contact stated that the driver's door failed to shut and the door ajar warning indicator illuminated.

Would not tow the recommended weight. Tsc came on, almost wrecked, another vehicle did. Transmission and rear axle malfunctioned. Towing didn't work in town on flat terrain in houston texas. Took truck back to dearlers they agreed.
I stopped on level ground, put the transmission in park and stepped on the emergency brake. I exited the vehicle for a minute to perform a minor task. I left drivers side door open and the engine running. The end gate was down. I turned around to renter the truck but it had moved off the level ground and was going down the hill in reverse. It continued until it hit a pine tree. No one was in the vehicle.
Vehicle was repaired by bob ruth ford in dillsburg, pa after finding an oil leak at the oil pan, the mileage was approx 8,500 miles. The vehicle was repaired and during another routine oil change at 15,500 miles the oil pan was found to be leaking again.

Deflector ford part number 8327 tore and is rubbing against power steering and transmission coolant hoses at 19,127 miles. Ford says this is not covered by warranty.
. Last sunday I got a 2017 f150 xlt stuck in a small two foot snow drift. Once I got stuck I tried rocking the truck, but the transmission would not shift from forward to rear ward without the truck coming to a complete stop. After several attempts I got a fault warning for the limited slip diff. The warning for the power steering, the ABS, the parking brake, the hill descent, hill start assist, park assist warning (which I do not have), advanced track warning (which I do not have) and 4x4 low. Additionally the truck would shift in and out of 4 high, but not 4 low. In 4 high no tires would move. In two high only the left rear tire would spin. Because of darkness and grizzly bear I had to wait until morning to walk out far enough to get cell reception. The temp never got below 34 degrees, but it did rain and snow all night. When the tow truck pulled me out of the drift (a total of 10 feet) everything except the power steering worked. It was not until the 3 rd day when the power steering suddenly started to work. The dealer will not see me until next week and I am afraid I will loose all the fault codes by then. Its great to have a 4x4 that only works on dry ground. Had this happened in the winter or further away from cell phone coverage it could have proven to be a life threatening situation
I own a 2017 ford f150 4x4 with the 3.5 ecoboost engine and the 10 speed transmission. A few days after we brought the truck home, we noticed a very loud clunk that would happen when the engine is started. We have taken the truck to multiple dealerships and all have said that the clunk is normal and that its just the transmission "loading up". This same clunk is also happening on 2018 f150s as well, with the 6 speed transmission and the 10 speed transmissions. I am concerned that this issue is going to affect the long term safety of the vehicle, since metal striking metal is never a good thing when it comes to automobiles. Here is a link to the ford f150 forums where multiple owners have reported the same issue on 2017 and 2018 f150's: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/single-clunk-when-starting-engine-383628/index7/ here are some video links I posted on youtube, the first is of a 2018 f150 4x4 I rented while on vacation may 2018, v8 10 speed transmission. The second video is of my truck making the same clunk, which can be heard from a distance (you might need to turn up the sound on this one). The 3rd video is my truck as well, note how the driveshaft moves on engine start. The 4th is my truck parked on an incline resting on the transmission. Note that the driveshaft doesn't move, but the clunk can still be heard. Https://youtu.be/uyiia29xt68 https://youtu.be/5fgkiolhceu https://youtu.be/pecoo6abv3a https://youtu.be/o8u0sdnags0
The vehicle has a very noticeable vibration at 45 MPH coming from the rear end . The vehicle has been into the dealer 6 times now. The mechanic that went on a ride with me stated yes that he' agrees it's there but that there is no fix from ford yet.
