2016 Ford F-150

I had received a recall letter from Ford in May 2026, 26s28, but a remedy was not available yet. July 14, 2026 I was driving on a highway, my cruise set at 69 mph, when my 2016 ford f150 suddenly downshifted to first or second gear causing my truck to swerve back and forth till it slowed down. I took truck intoFord dealership and they updated my PCM software. Since the PCM updating, this has happened 4 more times. Dealership says it is a speed sensor problem in the leadframe. Received Customer Service Program #26N04 letter in July stating an extention on my leadframe warranty. Ford will not fix under warranty.

My truck had a warning on the dash for low brake fluid, I checked and it was almost empty, I filled it, and it emptied again within 3 days. Ford has issued a safety recall on this master cylinder leaking in 2016s with the 3.5L engine. My truck has the 2.7L, and has the exact same master cylinder but ford won’t honor the recall. My truck is currently a paper weight as ford has denied all repairs

I am filing this complaint on behalf of myself in regards to Fords customer service team. I submitted the paperwork to receive a refund for this repair on August the 5th and they denied it on October the 23. I have since obtained the missing documentation they requested and no one at the Ford customer service dept will let me speak to a supervisor regarding this issue or give me any further update on how to appeal or the appeal timeline other than to remail the documents. This is ridiculous and I have now went over 80 days without reimbursement for a documented issue.

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious transmission safety issue with my son's 2016 Ford F-150, which is subject to Ford Safety Recall 26S28 / NHTSA Recall 26V237 and is also within the scope of NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26001 concerning unintended transmission downshifts. The truck was operating normally before the recall repair. Ford notified us that the vehicle was affected by the transmission recall and instructed us to take it to a Ford dealer. The recall remedy involved reprogramming the powertrain control module with updated software intended to address the transmission-range-sensor problem and prevent unintended downshifts. We took the truck to a Ford dealer and had the recall software update performed. Immediately following the software update, the truck developed severe and abnormal transmission behavior and became essentially undrivable. Among the problems experienced were the truck attempting to start in an incorrect gear, including fifth gear, and extremely abnormal shifting while driving, including an apparent shift from sixth gear directly to first gear – ironically the same type of dangerous and unpredictable transmission behavior that the recall was intended to prevent. ***These problems did not exist before Ford performed the "recall repair."*** The Ford dealer subsequently diagnosed the transmission molded leadframe as needing replacement. Ford has refused to authorize the leadframe replacement under its applicable program/recall coverage because the specific diagnostic trouble codes Ford requires are not currently present. They would likely become present if we were able to safely drive the vehicle, but unfortunately that is not possible at this point.
