OWNER REVIEWS! FORD F-150 2015-2020 COMMON PROBLEMS RELIABILITY PROBLEMS MAINTENANCE TOP PROBLEMS

[@harrison4ever125]

It's amazing how the more expensive trucks get, the less quality they are made with.

[@relikvija]

Cam phaser knock at startup (5000$ for replacement, including the timing belt). Catalytic converter issue at 115k miles (2300$). Leaking Oil pan at around 138k(1100$). Leaking water pump at 138k miles(900$). Tail light fogging up,replaced the bulb myself(15$). All done at the Ford dealership. I got to say, they did a great job fixing it. I still love the car, make sure you get some warranty to cover the repair cost, it's a fairly big vehicle and it's designed to fail after 100k miles. Regular oil change and other maintenance should help. And other typical maintenance stuff...

[@DisappearingBoy2010]

Way too much $$$

[@stealyourcrown9546]

@@DisappearingBoy2010fr i’ve been looking into all these replacements and they aren’t nearly as much as people say. i suppose a big reason this could be is that ive always worked on my own vehicle but maybe thats a thing of the past now

The best truck I've ever owned was a 2011 Toyota Tundra. At 250,000 km, I've put nothing but breaks and oli changes . Selling that and buying a 2020 f150 was my worst mistake... this thing is a money pit.

[@DisappearingBoy2010]

Same here. Last 3 cars I had all went 10+ years, well over 100K with zero issues. Once my F150 got to 100K, it's been one thing after another - all engine issues. And it was meticulously maintained. Will never buy another POS Ford. F.O.R.D. = Found On Road Dead.

[@ronfisher4751]

Frozen door locks are my biggest complaint both about this generation and the way that Ford has chosen to address (or not address) this very common problem.

Frozen door locks is a recall. I had mine in for that recall havent had a problem since.

[@ronfisher4751]

my vin isn’t on a recall.. so it expired..

[@robertbaxter8607]

I bought a new 2018 3.5. This is all true. These trucks are fragile and not very dependable. Worst decision i ever made.

[@omarmoran3097]

Sell it before you go in debt

[@raqss3665]

Get a v8 f150 buddy

[@arcanecrisis]

3.5 is for scamming lads who don't understand turbos or engine carbon. 5.0 v8 is the way.

[@tnrod41380]

2016 F-150 2.7 Ecoboost. Bought truck with 35,000 miles on it. 60K miles Wastegate solenoid failure. 80K miles purge solenoid failure. 100,000 miles, catalytic converter failure. Couldn’t get parts drove for 19,000 miles with check engine light on. Fixed at 119,000 miles. 135,000 miles, knock sensor wiring failure due to mice. Fixed at 145,000 miles. Currently 160,000 miles. Waiting for next check engine light to come on.

[@j.need4qlife483]

I have a 2015 F150 with 3.5 ecoboost and after 100k miles, that is when the problems start happening. It is hard to say if the dealership service center has any contribution to the problems, but every time I take it in for a simple oil change, it is right after I pick it up is when a new problem happens. I have been a loyal Ford owner for over 30 years, but I am now done with them. Their engineering is crap......plane and simple. Do not own a new Ford unless you just like to fork out thousands. What ever happen to reliability and quality? I foresee Ford motor company going bankrupt in the next two years. The vehicles are problematic just like AMC over 30 years ago.

[@MrWood-il3kf]

My 2019 Ford F150 XLT Off Road needs a new transmission at $13k at 78K miles. Best of luck to you!

[@michaelbergeron1554]

Under warranty?

Nope, out of pocket.

[@michaelbergeron1554]

@@MrWood-il3kf 13,000 dollars for a transmission?

[@MrWood-il3kf]

My local Ford dealer said that they could look at it. They couldn't get to it on the scheduled appointment. Then they said that their singular transmission tech was deployed with the military (mad thanks to troops). They said it would would be another 5 or 6 weeks to get another appointment at the Ford dealship, but recommended a top notch "other transmission shop. The "other shop" serviced the transmission and the transfer case, but couldn't fix the issue, but charged 2K. After that, the truck went back to the Ford dealership and sat there for two months. They tried to rebuild the transmission, then said that the rebuild didn't work. Ford then charged $11K to replace the transmission. Total cost $13,000. I have always had good luck with Ford, but this will certainly be my last Ford.

[@larrybooth2530]

My 2013 F-150 had a recall for a downshift so I had it done, 8 days later the truck downshifted from 65 mph to first gear and damaged my truck engine that had 83,000 miles on it and I got this truck new. Ford will not fix it and wanted $16,500 from me, that will not happen. No more Fords for me.

[@1976axerhand]

The new ones still have cam phaser issues...

[@justinkroeker1464]

Yes, but honestly 90% of new cars probably will

[@1976axerhand]

@@justinkroeker1464 idk about that, i only hear the issue is with fords? i know that chevy and gmc has major issue with the valve springs breaking in the 5.3l v8's at 20k miles

[@lateralus411]

Yeah the ongoing cam phaser issue for decades is unacceptable. Clearly this is a purposeful design in the interest of planned obsolescence so as to steer you from the service dept to the sales dept.

[@bobby.holsinger]

Got a 2016 f150 2.7 drove an shift just fine left to go to store ten feet from house it got stuff into 3rd gear any idea what it could be would be appreciated. Everything was just fine till then

[@jasonhall4325]

Got a 2018 2.7 with the 10 speed with 68K and my transmission blew up bad almost wrecked because of jt

[@agb222]

I have a problem with water leaking coming from the windshield on the passenger side, the water went straight to the BCM and caused a short circuit! now I have to spend over 1k to fix it =-(

[@showtime4956]

Any thoughts on purchasing a 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCab, engine 5.0 L V8, 37,000 miles, with service records, which appears to be a decent deal?

[@G.B.P.1999]

Excellent! Last year I bought a xlt crew cab 5.0 2016 with 17k miles only. I have 33k and I take really care about this truck. The 2016-2017 5.0 are the most bulletproof f150 you can get.

[@jamesphillips9272]

Bought my 2017 5.0 f150 new with 300 plus miles on it. Changed oil every 3k miles. I'm at 86k now and looking at cam phaser replacement. I've replaced the intake manifold and actuators on the back of it. Just replaced the vct solenoids today. This is my 4th and probably last f150/Ford ill own. I can't get one past 100k miles with some costly repair.

[@PTucker0864]

The real problem? A generation of do-nothings that want to drive cool pickup trucks, but don't know how to change a tire. And they are the ones faux engineering everything now. A profitable cycle of money changing hands. Good for Automakers, bad for do-nothings and seniors. If young men now knew how to handle a wrench, they wouldn't be whining about the cost to be cool.

[@samuelmurphy8692]

wow, get over yourself. Have fun with your motorcycle.

[@Belovedfire]

Why do older generations always hate us the younger ones

[@nastystang113]

Okay Boomer. Thank your generation for ruining this country. Your generation is the one who has been running this country into the dirt because they don't care what it will be like for us once they croak. There are more and more boomers becoming homeless than any other generation. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you. If you had to start over from scratch with a thousand dollars in your pocket, move to a new town and not be able to use any previous contacts or work experience you would end up feeling the pain that a lot of younger Americans feel. I use my F150 every day as a tile contractor, to tow my boat/jet skis, and haul my motocross bikes etc so get off of your high horse. You're not the only one who uses your truck. I do all of my repairs and maintenance too so you’re not special buddy. I just got into an accident because a man born in 1928 pulled out in front of me from a side street trying to turn left across traffic. Take away your parents driver’s licenses if they are still around. In a few years give up your license please before you're like him and end up hurting someone else. Thanks!

[@PTucker0864]

No hate....it's not entirely their fault. If they were raised without a teacher, sometimes they never have a desire to do manly things. I must've been in a bad mood...I apologize.

[@RustyShackle-v9u]

I think it was the boomers who coined the planned obsolescence. Between that and the heavily outsourcing of manufacturing to foreigners in the 90s. Build them to last when you are the ones working on them. Then later years design them to fail to insure a pension and retirement.

[@j.need4qlife483]

All problems should echo to Ford engineering and quality management. Both are over paid jokes. Consumer confidence is sinking and sales will plummet as more consumers will demand action. I personally do not trust my local dealership anymore as I hear they have lost most of their experienced technicians and the amount of vehicles that require extensive maintenance on relatively newer f150 is ever growing. They expect you to trade your truck in and pick up a brand new that depreciate 40% it's purchase value.

[@skylar6818]

Yeah my moon roof didnt work and I was pissed

[@rociopolanco2645]

Welcome to the made in the USA baby 😅

[@aristeourias8756]

Probably the most unreliable truck ever after the ford Taurus

[@JuanSanchez-yr5oz]

Thanks for the video, Will not buy

[@JasPlun]

Do not buy a Truck then because they all have issues like these Ram and GM both have their expensive issues. Buy an older truck and rebuild it and your better off or buy Toyota. Before they erupt over the new Tundra waste gate issues that was solved and they no longer have that issue. I will always take my chances with Toyota. Still the best option is to buy a good used older truck one of the bullet proof engines like the 4.9l Inline 6:P

[@tnrod41380]

I’ll never own another Ecoboost. I’ll buy a RAM (Dodge) instead.

[@fenomeno7728]

Wow/ Only a mechanic hates a Ford😂😂😂
