I was making a left turn onto a busy highway on March 29th, and my truck shut off. A message appeared on the screen that said Auto start/stop shift to P, then restart engine. A battery and wrench symbol appeared. I almost was t-boned as a result of the malfunction.\ I bought the vehicle at Causeway Ford in Manahawkin with 62,000 miles and have only had it for a month. I took vehicle there for repair on March 30th. The dealership claimed they performed a hard reset and was able to correct the issue. I had the vehicle for 12 days since, and the issue reoccured almost causing another accident. I am furious.
2019 Ford F-150 engine complaints
Page 13 of 14: complaints 341 to 370 of 379, newest first, as owners wrote them.
UNKOWN My truck will lose power when hitting the gas. The rpms' rev up and then after a second it kicks back in. The 10 speed transmission continues to be very jerky and unsmooth. I asked the dealer and was told that's the number 1 complaint but there's nothing they can do about. The loss of power while pushing the gas to go is the biggest safety concern for me.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, he heard an abnormal loud rattling sound coming from the engine. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there was an oil leak in the engine compartment and also that the 4-wheel drive had failed. The dealer reprogrammed the PCM under an unknown recall; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer - Ted Britt Ford of Fairfax (11165 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, VA 22030) where it was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
My truck rough idles and shakes violently and then stalls and an error comes up in the dash telling me “auto startstop shift to P then restart engine” Has happened numerous times. Truck currently has 44,xxx miles. This is extremely dangerous at any light, turning intersection, or stop sign. I have read many online threads through online forums of this happening in other f150s to no avail from owners and dealers alike.
I have had the engine shut off while driving … due to the code auto start stop shift to park… I could’ve been in an accident this is the 4th time this has happened. Fix this issue
Motor made rattle then Loud motor noise, lost of oil pressure. Pull in lot and parked vehicle.
Recent oil analysis(mid October 2021) indicates a greater than 5% fuel dilution. The Cummins ASTM method of testing only permits a greater than 5% statement so fuel dilution could be much higher. First sample a year ago indicated 3% dilution. Many factors could contribute to this per research and I had advised Ford dealer with printed reports and they would not do anything at all about this stating it is standard. Oil report indicates a "severe" issue. Ford dealer wouldn't even look into possible causes to rule out. I have concern for a possible engine compartment fire/explosion might happen or possible degradation of engine leading to other possible incidents. Reports and vehicle are available. No indicator lamps or other means to know of this issue without independent testing of oil samples. Fuel mileage is averaging 17MPG.
Cam phasers - after the Ford dealership applied recall 21B10, the engine will shut off at undesirable times, causing a stall and making driving unsafe. This is in addition to serious knocking at engine start, and additional shudder during normal driving conditions and while idling. This recall repair has made things much worse and should be avoided.
Under acceleration, after the engine warms up, it begins to have a severe issue with spark knock clatter which causes a loss of power due to improper computer ignition timing adjustments.
seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism not adequately restrain The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat Transmission shifts extremely hard. It clunks most of the time when I turn the vehicle on. Often, when I shift from park to drive the trunk lurches forward even with my foot pressed down all the way on the break. It's in the ford dealer right now and all they can find is low transmission fluid. Although I've never had a warning light or anything on before. dropping from 10th gear to 5th gear when cruise is set and accelerator is pressed Truck will set advanced traction control warning off and slam so hard into 5th gear you are destructed looking to see if you were in a accident.. I have videos that were provided to Ford Motor Company and have had in 2 Ford dealership s 3 times for repairs.Ford Motor Company has 2 engineer cases opened on truck the second case they told dealership it was my fault with the abrupt shifting slamming and traction control warning at 72 mph on interstate. Ford refuses to address the safety issue. It is a hazard to me and passengers in my vehicle as well as the motoring public. Ford motor company has been notified they can assume liability if I am in a accident and someone is injured due to their negligence or refusal to fix defect. Truck has had issues since around 3500 on the odometer it now has 16,567 miles currently.This as well as any other erratic shifting complaints with said 10R180 should be fully investigated and taken seriously because it will and I am sure has contributed to crashes!!!! The vehicle has the technology package which allows you to start /stop the vehicle with an app in your phone. I assume the motor has bluetooth attached to it. The problem is that when your driving the vehicle will just shut down. Once this happens you have to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the engine.
While driving on a residential street the vehicle turned off and displayed “auto startstop shift to P then restart”. This happened several times until I pulled into my driveway.
I am writing to notify Ford Motor Company, hereinafter referred to as “Ford” of the 2019 Ford F-150, King Ranch edition, VIN Number [XXX] (the “Vehicle’) recurring engine failure, hereinafter referred to as “Manufacturer Defect”. The Manufacturer Defect has continuously put my family in LIFE-THEATENING SITUATIONS. I purchased the Vehicle from Texas Ford Sales Ltd., Dealer Number P11422 on April 13, 2019. The Vehicle was taken to AutoNation Ford of Fort Worth, hereinafter referred to as “AutoNation” to seek warranty repairs for the Manufacturer Defect. The Vehicle has been in AutoNation and Ford’s care, custody, and control for more than 50 days relating directly to the Manufacturer Defect. This Manufacturer Defect is not isolated to this Vehicle. This Manufacturer Defect has been known by the Ford Leadership Team. Evidenced by the Technical Service Bulletin 19-2232, dated 7/23/2019. Titled (3.5L Ecoboost – Excessive Oil Consumption With or Without DTC P0365/PO369 – Built On Or Before 1-April-2019). Ford has concealed the Manufacturing Defect in an attempt to limit the scope of the Ford Motor Company New Vehicle Limited Warranty responsibilities as it pertains to the oil consumption defect. Ford has violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and Texas consumer protection statutes. Ford has acted with negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, and/or breach of express warranties. This Manufacturing Defect substantially impairs the use and market value of the Vehicle. The Manufacturing Defect continues to create a SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD for my three babies, my wife, myself, and the public. Therefore, if Ford and/or AutoNation are unable to correct this Manufacturing Defect, I expect Ford to replace or repurchase the Vehicle. If this matter is not satisfactorily resolved by 6/25/2021 and I have been indemnified for any and all losses, damages, costs, fees, expenses and/or liabilities arising out of, involving, and/or in dealing with, t PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTI
My 2019 ford f150 has a recall for the phaser nocking but livermore ford don't want to fix it until further notice from ford corporate, I can not drive my truck and I can not sell it because of the knocking noise. I am stuck with 30k truck, please see attachment from ford
Engine rattles during acceleration. Rattle noise when you left off gas pedal when engine is cold and while driving.
The vehicle appears to be using an excessive amount of oil and after operating for periods of time, the smell of burnt oil is apparent. Vehicle has less than 14,000 miles; there are no visible leaks, no visible damage or defect to the oil pan, and no visible defect or damage to the quick drain assembly. Vehicle oil was at maximum threshold one month ago and is now at lower eyelet of the dip stick indicator. Intelligent oil life indicator states that oil life is at 65%.
Vehicle shut down while moving and displayed message ' auto start stop shift to p then restart engine' after coming to a stop with no power brakes or steering, vehicle took approximately five seconds to restart and had a difficult time doing so
Stalls with no notice
Oil consumption engine using at least 2 quarts of oil every 1500 t0 2000 miles since I bought this vehicle I have changed the oil twice and each time it goes threw 2 plus quarts within 1500 t0 2000 miles of being changed..added 5w20 synthetic oil each time 4 to 5 qts. Since having the truck. Mileage now 14,230 this is not acceptable for a new engine!
Vehicle shuts down. I was waiting in line of traffic for the traffic light to turn green. Motor stops, lights go out. Placed in neutral and tried to restart, would not start until after 3 - 4 minutes.
This happened twice today 10/24/2020. First time I was stopped at a turning light on a main road and as soon as I let off the break the engine shutoff. Second time I was in a residential neighborhood making a turn and the engine shutoff once again displaying the image attached.
I purchased a left over 2019 in june 2020. The vehicle has been back twice for transmission issues to the dealership. I was told that I have to live with it from a service advisor. The vehicle's powertrain is jerky when slowing down. It feels like a kick when is goes from gear to gear up or down shifting. There is also a loud bang upon start up. I video taped it, the drive shaft twist upon start up. Seems unsafe if the drive pin is the only thing hold a 7000 lbs vehicle or if you start in neutral. Overall the PCM needs new transmission strategy applied. Very poor on ford's behalf.
Noticed during summer 2020 months the truck when idling at stop would vibrate and tachometer would bounce. Recently during july to september the truck when stopped would idle rough then shut down completely having to put in park and restart the truck! The last time it did it I was sitting at a red light on a city street and it just shut down and I had to restart the truck. This has happened 4 times since july. I took it to two ford dealers and neither could replicate the problem and told me they could not fix it.
Driving on a road and the truck abruptly shut off, displayed an error message on the screen showing "auto stop/start, put the vehicle in park and restart engine" ( I dont use the auto stop/start feature) this issue should be looked into asap the vehical model shutting down randomly possibly leading into a serious accident or death.
Rattle on cold start. Sounds like timing chain rattle or phasers.
I was decelerating down a hill. I was still doing about 20 MPH while braking and I received an error saying 'auto startstop shift to p, then restart engine' and my engine shut off and I lost power steering and brakes and had to coast myself to somewhere as close to the side of the road as possible. Thank god this happened on a local rd and not a highway. I proceeded to shift to p and restart the vehicle 4 times until it allowed me to shift to drive and it actually engage so I could continue driving. This is the second time it has happened to me and the truck is less than a year old.
1. Engine begins to run rough during high speeds. 2. Rear cabin noise while driving (hear outside noises like a window is open).
2019 f-150 - 3.5l ecoboost, on a cold start there is a ticking-tapping or rattle noise
The vehicle only has 13,500 miles on it and it consumes oil dramatically and there is an off throttle rattle in the engine. Additionally, one of the cylinders does not appear to be firing and it has no oil pressure.
When pushing the gas the vehicle whistles as if there is a vacuum leak, then when suddenly letting off the gas the vehicle makes a popping noise, similar to a backfire but muffled, as if it's coming back through the intake, this happens on all roads at all times, warm weather, cold weather, cold start and after a hot start. It almost seems that the truck doesn't perform as well as it used to, and the loudness of the noise has only been increasing, this 2019 ford f150 has only used 87 unleaded fuel and is at 21k miles
Driving on a road and the truck abruptly shut off, displayed an error message on the screen showing "auto stop/start, put the vehicle in park and restart engine" ( I never use the auto stop/start feature) upon researching this error ( the dealership was of no help ) it appears this issue has been around since at least the 2018 f150 model. It's very concerning that this can happen while the vehicle is in motion and is a hugh safety issue as well as an accident waiting to happen.
