"| own a 2022 Ford F-150 with approximately 69500 miles and am reporting recurring problems with the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission. The transmission has experienced .Hard downshifts into 3rd gear rpm flaring upshifts from 4th and 5th gear. These incidents have occurred when timing to a stop and during acceleration . This issue happens more often than not and I feel like at any moment the transmission could fail when it downshifts hard . The problem has occurred starting around 55000 miles , and the vehicle has Taken to my local ford dealer where it had the CDF drum replaced various clutch plates , as well as a driveshaft that was damage due to the hard shifts . Basically an overhaul at 59000 miles . Here I am today at 69000 miles and the hard downshift are happening again with occasional flared shifts . I am concerned that the transmission may unexpectedly change gears, lose power, or behave unpredictably while driving, creating a potential safety hazard for the driver, passengers and others on the road. I am asking the federal safety agency to document this complaint and investigate whether these recurring 10R80 transmission problems, including possible CDF clutch drum or sleeve issues, represent a safety defect affecting Ford F-150 trucks."

Defect investigations
Low-pressure fuel pump failure
On July 29, 2024, the Oï¬ce of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE24019 to investigate complaints of low-pressure fuel pump failures in MY 2021 Ford Bronco vehicles. Some consumers reported that the failure occurred without warning while driving, resulting in a complete loss of motive power with no ability to restart the engine. Ford determined that several other vehicle models contain low-pressure fuel pumps substantially similar to the 2021 Ford Bronco, including the 2022-2023 Ford Bronco, 2018-2023 Ford F-150, 2022-2023 Ford Expedition, 2019-2023 Lincoln Navigator, 2020-2023 Ford F-250-F-550, 2024 Ford Super Duty Chassis Cab, 2024-2025 Ford Ranger, 2020-2023 Ford Explorer, 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator, and 2021-2025 Ford Mustang. ODI's investigation found that the aï¬ected vehicles may lose fuel pressure and ï¬ow from the fuel delivery module (consisting of a low-pressure fuel pump, jet pump, reservoir, and other parts) due to a low-pressure pump failure. This can cause the engine to stall while driving. The root cause is reduced internal clearance in the fuel pump, increasing friction and sensitivity to vapor lock. Fuel blockage from contamination inside the jet pump also contributed to the failure. Ford stated that the contamination source was unknown. On July 7, 2025, Ford ï¬led recall 25V‑455 for certain 2021-2023 Ford F-550 SD/F-450 SD/F-350 SD/F-250 SD, 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigator, 2021-2022 Ford Mustang, 2021-2022 Ford F-150, 2021-2023 Ford Explorer, 2022 Ford Expedition, and 2021-2023 Ford Bronco vehicles produced between July 1, 2021, and July 30, 2022. The recall also included certain 2021-2023 Lincoln Aviator produced between July 1, 2021, and December 21, 2022. Ford explained in its recall filingthat the production dates used for the recall were based on changes in the manufacturing process. Specifically, Ford determined that in June 2021, the supplier modified the jet pump manufacturing process, producing fuel pump chambers with a lower-than-specified internal clearance. In July 2022, the supplier implemented corrective actions to the manufacturing process by adding two additional vacuum pumps to reduce contamination during the production of the jet pump. ODI has identified approximately 1,000 reports involving vehicles covered in this investigation but excluded from recall 25V‑455. However, even with such reports, these vehicles experienced comparatively lower failure rates than the vehicles that are subject to Recall 25V‑455. Ford has explained that these vehicles were excluded from the recall population because they did not experience the manufacturing changes that prompted the recall. Specifically, according to Ford, vehicles built before July 1, 2021 (the recall production start date), were not affected by the supplierâs change to the jet pump manufacturing process. Even after closing this investigation, ODI will continue to monitor complaints for vehicles excluded from recall 25V‑455 to consider whether they exhibit the same risks as the vehicles encompassed by the recall. The recall remedy is currently under development. In view of Fordâs recall action, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation, but will continue to monitor the issue as a remedy is developed and implemented. ODI will take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identiï¬cation Number document, go to
PE24019
Loss of Motive Power
On July 22, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) granted a Defect Petition (DP22001) and opened a Preliminary Evaluation (PE22007) to investigate allegations of loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021 Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with 2.7L EcoBoost engines. Complainants were reporting sudden engine failure while driving resulting in a loss of motive power, often without the ability to restart. During PE22007, the cause of engine failure and loss of motive power in the subject vehicles was determined to be intake valve fracture, and the full scope of vehicles affected by the subject defect was identified as all MY 2021-2022 Ford and Lincoln models equipped with either the 2.7L or 3.0L EcoBoost engines, referred to as the âNanoâ engine family. If an intake valve fractures in the subject engines, it may drop into the cylinder and contact the piston, often resulting in catastrophic engine damage. On September 29, 2023, PE22007 was upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA23002) to further investigate the subject defect across the full scope of affected vehicles. During EA23002, ODI visited Ford facilities to review technical information related to intake valve fracture in âNanoâ engines, coordinated with the federal safety agencyâs Vehicle Research and Testing Center (VRTC), and analyzed updated field data relating the subject defect. Forensic analysis of fractured intake valves demonstrated that the defective components exhibited âgrinding burnâ or out of specification hardness in the area of the keeper grooves. The presence of grinding burn is evidence that during the groove grinding phase of production, the temperature of the valve became sufficiently high to alter the microstructure of the material and is indicative that the valve supplierâs manufacturing processes were not within control specifications. Grinding burn results in a hard, brittle microstructure and high residual stresses toward the surface of the valve. Through normal engine loading, a valve with grinding burn will likely fracture at the area of highest vulnerability, which is the third keeper groove. In its response to the EA23002 Information Request (IR) letter, Ford provided evidence of 396 customer complaints (including field reports), 825 warranty claims, and 936 engine exchanges. When considering both ODI and manufacturer failure report data, there have been reports representing 1066 unique vehicles within the subject vehicle population. Analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that vehicles equipped with potentially defective intake valves were built within a production âspike periodâ of May 2021 â October 2021. The beginning of the spike period corresponds to a ramp up in production at the valve supplier manufacturing facility, and the end of the spike period aligns with the implementation of several mid-production process improvements and the decision to change the metal alloy used to produce intake valves from âSilchrome Liteâ to âSilchrome 1â. Ford began investigating the subject defect in July 2021, determined the root cause, and took corrective measures for the new production vehicles. Analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that these corrective actions were successful in eliminating the risk of intake valve fracture for subject vehicles produced after October 2021. However, Ford did not take any field action to address vehicles produced during the spike period, and in the several months following the implementation of the production changes, a significant number of field failures continued to occur. It is Fordâs assessment that not all valves produced during the spike period are defective, and that failures associated with the subject defect occur at low time in service. Analysis of the failure report data demonstrates that the vast majority of failures have occurred before 20,000 miles with over half of all reported failures occurring before 5,000 miles. The rate of reported failures related to the subject defect has steadily decreased since November 2021. ODI coordinated with the federal safety agencyâs National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) to conduct statistical analysis and predict the number of future failures associated with the subject defect. The results of this analysis, and the trends identified through the failure report data are generally consistent with Fordâs assessment that defective intake valves will likely fail at a low time in service and indicate that the majority of subject vehicles equipped with defective valves have already experienced a failure. On August 23, 2024, Ford submitted recall 24V635 for subject vehicles equipped with âNanoâ engines and built within the production spike period identified above (total population 90,736 vehicles). The remedy includes an inspection at a Ford/Lincoln dealership where the lifetime engine cycles of the vehicle will be determined. If a vehicle does not meet a threshold for lifetime engine cycles, the dealership will conduct a high RPM engine cycle accumulation procedure, which aims to identify if the vehicle is equipped with defective intake valves. Any vehicle that fails the accumulation procedure will receive an engine replacement under the recall. In addition to recall 24V635, Ford has stated that it will launch customer satisfaction campaign 24N12, which will provide extended warranty coverage to the subject vehicles through the earlier of 10 years or 150,000 miles. In view of the recall action being taken by Ford, ODI is closing this Engineering Analysis. To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to

What 2022 Ford F-150 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was driving down the highway and suddenly the loudest ear piercing noice of static came bursting through my speakers, to where I had to immediately pull over. I tried to shut the truck off immediately and it wouldn't turn off. When they truck finally turned off the static was still piercing through the speaker system. My dog was in the back seat and freaking out. I have never experienced something so insane like this. It shut off finally after about 1 minute and I had it towed directly to the Ford Dealer. I still have ringing in my ears 2 hours later. This is an absolutely terrifying issue and can cause hearing damage and a wreck.
I am experiencing the following issues: - Hard shifting and a noticeable thud when coming to a stop - Jerking and bumping that causes vibrations inside the cabin - Hard shifting when shifting into reverse or park
The factory daytime running light (DRL) LED signature strip on the front headlight assembly failed prematurely and went completely dark. Because the DRL is integrated into a sealed headlight unit, the individual lighting component cannot be repaired or serviced. Replacing the single failed DRL requires discarding and replacing the entire headlight assembly at an out-of-pocket cost exceeding $1,000 to $1,500.
I first experienced an issue on this truck in XXX while vacationing in [XXX]. While attempting to cross a 4 lane highway with a median, the truck almost stalled and .was almost T boned. Upon returning to [XXX] the vehicle was taken to my servicing dealer and diagnosed with a fuel pump issue which within a few days was determined in a recall. I have been in constant contact with Ford only to be told no fix is available at this time and to keep the fuel level above a half tank. This hesitation / stalling has occurred many times since this first occurrence. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My transmission hard shifts and stalls out. It was also low on fluid in January 2026, but it was not leaking. When pulling out from intersections with oncoming cars the transmission stalled. It has also stalled on the freeway. Yes, a ford dealership confirmed it. No warning lamps. I was told ford probably won’t cover the whole cost of this repair even though it’s a known issue
A segment of the daytime running lights went out at 60,000 miles. Another segment went out at approximately 70,000 miles. I have hundreds of other trucks with the LED reflector headlights have DRL segments out.
Ford F150 Recall 23S65. Took truck into Palmetto Ford in Charleston, SC for recall repair due to loud scraping coming from back axle. Told that they do not have parts in stock and will have to order, but the last order they placed for this recall was in February 2026 and has still not arrived. I asked - am I expected to just drive around until it snaps and the truck is immobile? The recall said it could move while parked - am I just expected to always use the parking brake now? - they told me that they cannot answer those questions, which is unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V455000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.
On 10-20-2026 while driving at highway speed of approximately 65 mph on a mountainous curving road, the steering became noticeably hard and the vehicle gave a Steering Assist Fault Service Required warning. Slowing down to a stop to park the steering was very hard. The Warning was dismissed, but reappeared on the dash withing 5-10 miles of driving. After shutting off the Truck for 30 minutes, I drove directly to a Ford Dealership. On the way there, the Steering Assist Fault warning came back on. The truck has 39,206 miles and is just barely out of warranty. The Dealership checked for weak failing 12 volt battery, loose or corroded ground/terminals and software updates and found none of these minor issues. The dealership did diagnose the PSCM was bad. They told me the Fault error code was U3000 and the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) that is built into the Rack & Pinion steering rack assembly would need to be replaced. This is a Severe Safety Concern where a sudden failure of a primary steering component at 65 mph is a severe safety incident that could cause a catastrophic crash. Because my vehicle is barely out of warranty, and this is a very expensive repair to have the steering rack assembly replaced, re-programmed and wheel alignment, I have contacted Ford Corporate Customer Relationship Center as well as the Dealership for and After Warranty Assistance also known as Ford's Goodwill Assistance Cost Share. I am currently awaiting word on if Ford will help me with the cost of this repair. This is unknown at this time.
