Owner report 11459546 · 2022-04-04 (April 4, 2022)
1. Transmission. Stays in higher gears at stops. When starting out it barely moves in response to gas pedal increase. At about 3,000 RPMs it engages and jerks violently ahead. After this happened several times I noticed the transmission gear light was in a higher gear at stop, like 7th gear. Therefore the motor had to rev up to 7th gear speed before it would move adequately. Has to be hard on the transmission when this happens, also embarrassing and very dangerous should you have to cross a busy roadway quickly. It also downshifts suddenly all …

Owner report 11469887 · 2022-06-18 (June 18, 2022)
I was driving about 50 mph traveling from Bethel, NC to Canton, NC and was approaching Canton so I was slowing down. The first traffic light was red so I stopped behind another car. When the light turned green I lightly pressed the accelerator and nothing happened, it was like the engine failed to power up. I looked at the instruments and noticed the transmission was stuck in 8th-gear. Suddenly it rolled down to 1st gear and the vehicle literally leaped across the intersection. Fortunately the car in front had moved out normally or the "le…

Owner report 11472674 · 2022-07-07 (July 7, 2022)
After purchasing the truck new I drove it for four days and it started to leak coolant from under the middle of the truck. The truck had less then 200 miles on it and it already needed service. Once I looked up 2022 Ford F-150 Power Boost coolant leak I found out there are a lot of people experiencing the same issues. I did not know these trucks were having problems otherwise I would not have purchased this truck. If I would have not realized the coolant was leaking the truck would have overheated. After taking it to the dealer they said that e…
