HERE is the 10,006........................Fresh off the F150 site!I am having similar issues with my 2016 Platinum. However, they are much worse in sport and towing modes. Ford has stated that these are normal operating characteristics and that it is my driving style that is causing the issues. A co-worker of mine blew his rear differential at 800 miles. He and I also have vibrating in the drive shaft and steering wheel with humming coming from the transmissions. We bought our transmissions in different states and nearly six months apart. There is a much larger issue here and Ford is obviously trying to cover it up.

Nooooo!!!! Say it ain't so!!!! Ford F-150 "with similar problems"? Can not be :) ...

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Well I have some good news and bad news about my truck vibrations. Good news is that my truck has a significantly less vibration at speed. The bad news is my truck has significantly less vibration. Fo

2015 F150 3.5EB rough shifting

 

Greetings.

New to the forum, new to Ford. Bought my first one last August. 2015 F150 XLT.

I've noticed an issue when cruising along under very light acceleration (just cruising) and you feather on the gas for a slight hill etc. Any other vehicle it's never been an issue. With this one, I often notice a clunk (hard shift)as it shifts from day 5 to 4 or 4 to 3. Sometimes it really sounds loaded down and I have to hit the gas harder even though I don't want to accelerate, just maintain speed. Interstate off ramps with a 180 are the worst.

It seems to drive much better if I use sport mode or tow mode.

Maybe unrelated but it seems like it takes a while to shift from 4 to 1 or 3 to 1 when at a stop sign. I have to consciously have to wait until it downshifts. An extra 1-2 seconds after I would normally go. If I don't, again it loads down or clunks.

It seems like in regular mode it is trying too hard to maintain lower RPMs.

I did go to the dealer and got a TSB updated. It does seem better (25-40ish) but still seems not quite right.

Any suggestions? TIA

 

 

 

 

 

FWIW, dealership re-applied the TSB because they said there was an update. My shifting problems (low acceleration, slow to downshift at corners stop signs etc ) are gone. It's awesome.

It is possible the first time when they applied it they didn't download the latest map. That was part of the TSB instructions. Or if they did maybe there really was another update to the map. Dunno.

Now just have the occasional rough shifting between gears and I'm all sorted out!!

Update 2

 

As some of you know, I have a shake/vibration issues between 70-82mph, where the entire center console shakes pretty bad. I also had vibrations under my driver's seat.

 

I had my truck at a driveline shop yesterday and they confirmed my driveshaft was out of balance. They also said there was minor run-out but not bad enough to where he felt it would create issues. They fixed the balance issues and reinstalled the driveshaft for $70 out the door.

 

Well today I had a lot of time to test the truck. I took her on a 25 mile test drive on open roads. The seat vibration is practically gone, I'd say 98% gone if I had to give it a number.

 

Now the bad news. The center console still shakes pretty bad between 70-82mph, especially on good roads.

 

My guess at this point is the tires. I'll go for visit 4 at the dealership soon. I don't have much hope that they'll actually fix it.

Keep hope alive. I'm probably going to take the loss on a trade. I have better things to do than figure out a multi-billion dollar company's engineering shortcomings. Great looking truck, nice tech, but it's been a poor experience.

If I could I would. I took a big hit trading in my 2013 ford edge for this truck. My Edge was having tons of issues. Traded it in for another car with issues. Great luck right ??

I'm not so sure luck has anything to do with it, just the new norm of auto manufacturing I suppose.

Correct.

 

It's hard to tell if the studs are running true, we are going to put an axle in one of them and see if that does it.

 

I'm curious about this too.

For sure. Also, all you cold weather dudes and dudettes who live up there where your roads are salted and drive Tundras should be aware of the recent rusting frame recall. Don't know how they're going to do that. Should be interesting.

Today, Toyota has recalled 110,000 1st generation Toyota Tundras due to frame rust concerns. Specifically, this recall requires dealers to inspect the rear cross member and rear brake line mounts on 2000-2003 Tundras for significant rust. If dealers find that the frame’s rear cross member or brake line mount has significant rust, the corroded parts will be replaced as soon as possible.

 

Well at least they are admitting there is a problem and are trying to fix it lol

No argument here. My wife drives a 2007 Avalon Limited and I can't pry her out of it, she lived that car. It's had two recalls in it. The supposedly sticking gas throttle which was actually caused by people to stupid to replace their drivers side floor mat after cleaning their car, mat would be flipped on top of the pedals. Others was a dash boars replacement, did it on my wife's car about six months ago, car was 9 years old. The problem with getting a recall established on this shaking/vibration issue is that it can't be attributed to a single cause. If you read through these 670 pages you wind virtually every part or component blamed except maybe the lug nuts.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By davester · Posted

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou

      Is it an optical illusion in the pic or is the truck really squatting that much horribly?

      It's Been a Long Time...

      By fm2176 · Posted

      My initial introduction was here.  It's hard to believe that I last posted in February 2013, having just deployed to Kyrgyzstan.  Since then, I've retired from the military and the 2006 Sierra SLT Z71 that first brought me to these pages was lost.  I went forward to Afghanistan in March 2013 and did a lot of sitting behind a computer on brigade staff.  Within 18 months of getting back to the States, I was selected for Drill Sergeant duty, after which I moved back to Virginia (my home state and where I served from 2004-2008).  That '06 Sierra did a lot of driving between Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia, and ended up with nearly 320k miles by 2022.  By then, the registration had been expired for a couple of years, but the pandemic had all but eliminated tickets for such transgressions.  Admittedly too, I usually drove my wife's SUV or son's car the 2-3 times a week I had to report to work.  Teleworking sure was fun while it lasted.   I started my retirement leave four years ago and stored the Sierra at my sister's house.  A big mess was made when her fiancé passed while she was taking care of business out-of-state in late-2024, and his son pretty much mismanaged everything to do with the estate.  Even so, I was assured that my truck was safe... until it wasn't.  I found out that my truck had been scrapped about four months after the son took over everything.  There's nothing I could do; I'm 1000 miles away and it was technically abandoned property since he'd even trespassed my sister from her own house (she had no claim to it as she wasn't married, and the fiancé was the sole owner).     Anyway, today I got my second Sierra.  This is a 2010 SLE 2WB CCSB with a little over 200k miles on it.  It's got the 5.3L I'm familiar with and should handle what I need it for.  Hauling stuff that won't fit in the Transit Connect (yep, I sold out, but that's the wife's vehicle) and towing a few times a year tops.  The price seemed decent, considering how much people sell their trucks for in the Deep South: $4500.  I've seen similar trucks listed for more than double that.  I got it from a coworker who left his tag on until we transfer the title next week (Louisiana requires a notary for transfers), so I've been driving it all day.  The rear speakers don't work, which is one of the things that brought me back to these forums earlier.  I can't say how active I'll be as a poster, but I'll be scouring the archives while I find out every little thing I can about the 2010s and particular nuances/problems with my truck.   It's definitely not a GMC, but I got another Willys Jeep a few months back as well, so I'm almost at the same place I was when I first joined gm-trucks.com.  My old 1960 DJ3A was sold back around 2010 or 2011; my current Jeep is a 1946 CJ2A.  So, I've got a slightly newer GMC and a much older Jeep.  I kind of wish I still had that F-250 I had way back when too.  The Dakota is long gone and was technically my brother's truck, though I had it registered and insured.  The F-250 had to go when my grandmother's house was foreclosed on due to mismanagement around 2012 or so.     Hopefully anyone that made it this far isn't too annoyed.  I tend to be long-winded, but I'll be doing more reading than posting in the coming months.
