2005 f150 stalled without warning while driving sometimes at highspeed on the highway. It happened very frequently and the check engine light finally came on so I took it to the dealership for repair. I was told that the throttle body would need replacing at approx $750. 00 and was told that this is a typical repair for this vehicle. I understand many others have had this issue. Prior to repairing I stalled several times in the high speed lane and had to pull over to the left hand of the 4 lane highway which I was fortunate not to be hit. This seems to be a very serious safety issue.
I own a 2005 Ford f150 5. 4 automatic w/ 63,000. Unexpected failure of transmission caused by, as dealer stated, a degradation of a bearing which came loose and became lodged in side of the transmission. I replied to the Ford service manager does this mean that what caused the failure was a defective part, he answered yes and gave me the quote for a new transmission. I have done some research and have found over 6,000 cases of customers with same issue( no towing, proper maintenance intervals and documentation, etc. ) yet investigation is being conducted to find solution to the premature failure. Talked to 3 nationally known transmission repair facilities and they also have stated numerous problems with the 4r75w and 4r70e/w transmission that Ford is installing in its vehicles, primarily with the exact same symptoms.
Upon acceleration our f150 excab makes a grinding noise. Also, would not disengage from 4hi, had to stop and start a few times to get it to disengage. Talked to Ford dealer here and he said if the grinding noise happens again bring it in while it is happening so a mechanic can go for a ride. The problem is it is very sporadic and probably won't happen when there is a mechanic in the truck.
2005 f150 supercrew 4x4, transmission at 48000 miles began to mis-shift into overdrive. Within a few days the transmission missed all shift points and went into neutral. Visual basic 2010 pdf. Transmission was replaced by extended warranty at dealership. No cause to failure was found.
Clunking/or jearking when slowing or acceleration.
Vehicle rolled away with transmission placed in park and key removed. Incident has happened 8 times and dealer attempted repair 4 times, last repair is 17 Nov 2005. Unknown if it will work.
Popping from rear-end at slow speeds and shuttering at down shift on highway. Local dealer said rear pinion gear out of alignment, and clutch packs were bad they had to order parts to fix the problems.
The automatic transmission in the consumer's 2005 Ford f150 failed.
I have a new 2005 f150 super crew 4x4 w/ 5. 4l. Especially noticeable in city traffic, whenever I slow down and then accelerate, there is a at least one or more bumps or jerks seeming to come from the transmission or drive train. Ford won't do anything about it. This is too major of a bump to not cause damage or problems later on.
I purchased f150 lariat from leif johnson Ford in austin oct 2004. I have been experiencing trouble with the truck not wanting to come out of park. You can put your foot on the brake all day long and try to push the button in to move the gear and nothing happens. I have been to the dealership 4 times in the past month trying to resolve the problem. Last Friday 8-05-05 they changed out the complete gear shift thinking that was the problem and have the same problem on that Saturday 8-06-05 and again 8-07-05,8-08-05 in which I returned to Ford.
