Ford has a known issue with the 2019 f150 eco boost cam phaser rattling. They replaced once and it failed again. They now refuse to repair the fix that should have corrected the initial cam phaser issue. They continue to use faulty parts.

My 2019 F-150 has only 25,000 miles. The dealership has confirmed transmission failure requiring a $9,000 replacement. A transmission is expected to last significantly longer than 25,000 miles. I have maintained the vehicle. This is an extraordinary premature failure on a critical part of the vehicle and it poses a massive safety liability

excessive oil consumption. I have to check and refill every single week since i drive over 100 miles/day, it is ridiculous how much oil burns. Transmission at high speed acts very erratic, when downshifting is like it doesn't know what do do and when it finally decides to down shift, it kicks so hard that feels like it's going to brake in pieces, even at low speed the shifting is very hard, not smooth at all. radio carplay is useless, every time i try carplay, it works but i am not able to use the volume, so i have the feature but can't use it

I took the vehicle in for maintenance -transmission flush, oil change, anything they could find because I was planning on a road trip and wanted it ready. They found the box frame just behind the front tires had completely rusted with large holes. The service tech did not even want to put the vehicle on the lift. They took some pictures and sent them to me. No maintenance was performed due to the severity of the rot. After inspection, no where else on the frame or body/fixtures is there rust like this. There is typical surface rust in usual places. I took multiple pictures of the problem areas as well as adjacent areas. Upon research I found that the 2015-2020 models have this issue due to the lack of weep holes in the box frame which accumulate moisture and rot from the inside out. The truck is a 2019 has 71k miles. I have owned ford trucks for nearly the last 30 years and have never had this issue. Unfortunately the tech said it is not road safe given its condition.

I have had 3 complete failures of the door lock actuator motors and a 4th that’s beginning to malfunction on and off. Not only is it an inconvenience for me to lock or unlock my vehicle by key fob or utilizing internal control switches It is very unsafe that vehicle will not automatically lock when put into drive.

After a recall repair was performed on my vehicle at Central Ford on 3/5/2026, the check engine light came on right afterward. Since that time, I have returned the vehicle to the dealership for repair on three separate occasions. My vehicle is still at the dealer now. The dealership has had my vehicle for a total of approximately seven weeks across these visits. Despite multiple repair attempts, the issue has not been resolved, and the check engine light remains on and continues to return the same day the dealer claims it has been fixed. The dealership has been unable to provide a permanent fix or clear explanation for the ongoing problem. I am concerned that the recall repair was either performed improperly or has resulted in a new defect affecting the vehicle’s reliability and potentially its safety. At this point, my vehicle remains unreliable and may not be safe to operate. I am requesting that this issue be investigated, as the recall remedy appears to be ineffective in my case. Repair history and documentation are available upon request.

It seems when the truck has been driven more than an a half hour to an hour and you shut the truck off the truck won't start back up. I believe the starter gets what they call heat soaked, then you have to wait until the truck cools down then I will start normal

Transmission and Timing Chain Failure. John Vance Ford inspected F150 Jan 26, 2026 and Mar 2, 2026. On Mar 2, 2026 it was determined transmission ($8,740.85) and timing chain ($4,948.86) needed to be replaced. I experienced the vehicle slipping into neutral and lunging forward to find a gear while driving. The delay in gears could have easily caused a rearend collision...but did not...as vehicles behind me had to slow down without notice. John Vance confirmed faulty transmission. No warning lights or messages were displayed associated with the failure.

This vehicle is currently in the shop and the tech is saying we may have to have a transmission replacement. The tech also stated that Ford knows there is a issues with these transmissions and they have not corrected it or made any improvements. Also, Ford will not issue a recall. The vehicle has a very hard shift and is dangerous to drive and it also completely shut down on us, putting our life in danger. We do all the proper maintenance and upkeep on the vehicle at a Ford dealership. This issue is very disappointing as these are "American made" vehicles.

The rear camera goes blank when put in reverse. The screen shows "rear camera not available". There were multiple recalls for rear view camera system but my year and model is not included. A lot of same complaints on the web regarding the same issue.

The rear camera view displays the warning "the camera is not available" on the screen. A blurry, distorted flickering image is displayed on the screen. This is the same thing I see with my 2016 Ford Fusion, whose camera has been recalled. I'm not sure if this is an intermittent issue or not, but yesterday it was a persistent issue.

The rear backup camera works off and on, as demonstrated by the attached pictures. It has been working in this manner for the past couple of years. It will work properly for long periods of time then go for days in the distorted mannger. The pictures taken were over a one day period. The worst part is that it acts up in the most inappropriate times. There is no specific reason for the camera to not work. No wiring is loose and the system has all appropriate updates. I suspect it falls along the same lines as all of the other recalls foe these cameras. I asked the dealership, which performs all maintenance on my vehicle, to check it out under the recall but they refuse and offer to charge me for repairs, which is why I am filing this notice.

Backup camera doesn't work. Ford keeps recalling backup camera all of the time, but mine still isn't included by the recalls. Why would mine not be included?

The display screen (back up camera, clock, audio, etc.) will at times freeze up, other times be blank, other times show the rear view when in drive. This is affecting my safety as I cannot use the rear view camera in some instances and others the rear view shows up while driving causing confusion. I have not had this looked at yet by a dealer as I believed it was a known issue and a recall was coming, but as of now a lot of other vehicles are being recalled for what appears to be similar issues, but not this vehicle. No warnings.

Rearview Camera and Information Screen are not functioning properly. Screen will come up to a Black Screen after starting the vehicle and the camera will not function or the camera will stay on while driving forward and will go black after driving down the highway a short distance. This problem has been occurring for a year or more and is starting to occur more often. System is up to date and local ford dealership is stating there is no problem with it. Video has been taken of the issue in which the dealership stated the video proved nothing and that was not just cause for a repair being made.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The Ford Sync 3 "head unit" or whatever they call it nowadays locks up. When going in reverse the camera will either sometimes completely glitch and show "static", or sometimes a black screen and nothing. The rearview camera will also stay on when pulling away after reversing, which obviously can be very distracting. This has been glitching for almost two years, but has gotten worse and worse to the point now where it is almost every single time the rear camera is used. It will not factory reset, that locks as well. This is a very well known issue by Ford, and yet they do nothing about it. It is a very common complaint in online forums etc., someone needs to force Ford's hand to do these repairs, which can cost well over $1000, in many cases closer to 2k or more.
