As i push hard on the gas pedal to accelerate, the engine misfires with a "clunk" feel and sound eld/heard in the cab. The engine continues for a bit and then happens again, and again until i release the gas pedal. This has nearly caused two accidents as i went to accelerate on the highway to 1) get out of the way of a driver who was ignorantly moving into my lane and 2) went to accelerate around an obstacle in the…

The speed odometer jumps around and the gears change sporadically. After having this check by my mechanic, they feel that it is the power train control module and speed sensor. They found a recall for this model f150 but it did not include the date of build on my vehicle. Recall 16s19. It is dangerous because you don't have any notice as to when it might act up and you loose power without any warning. It happens…

Transmission jumps in and out of gear with no apparent relation to vehicles speed or throttle position. If the transmission decides to drop into 1st at sufficient speed to lock the drive wheels this is terrifying and inherently dangerous. Ford knows this condition exists on 6r80 transmissions but seems unwilling to widen the recall. Maybe someone needs to die before they address this. Its a miracle this hasn't lead…
