A lease would not work for me. I drive 30,000 miles per year. I bought a 150,000 mile extended service plan and assumed I would be covered until I sold the truck in 5 years. I never could have guessed that the truck was literally unrepairable.
A couple years back I was at a vintage race event. Jim Farley and I were both racing in the Historic Trans Am class. In conversation I mentioned something about my F150. Jim turned to his two sons and told them to thank me for helping to pay for their college educations. With hindsight, that...
I have finally given up. After 8 attempts to repair the P084B, P2884 & P2885 hybrid transmission codes that resulted in the “Pull Over Safely Now” message and the truck dying at the side of the road, I have completed the Ford Buyback procedure. Ford replaced the sensors, then reflashed the...
Technician updated my software a couple of months ago. The P084B code has not reappeared. But the P2884 and P2885 codes now appear with immediate ‘pull over safely now’ warning and dead drivetrain.
I don’t believe the problem is the Service writer or the technician. They told he they wanted to replace the transmission months ago and Ford woukd not approve it.
My problems did not start to show up until around 50,000 miles. They progressed towards total failure at 70,000 miles. Thank goodness I got the Ford extended warranty. Figuring a new generation of truck could be a problem I bought the 8 year / 150,000 plan with $0 deductible and double the...
I apologize for the long post but it is important that PB owners read this. The transmission in my 2021 F150 Limited Powerboost is an abject failure and has been causing me grief for the last year. Yesterday the truck and Ford’s inability to fix it literally almost killed me. The problem began...
Consumer Reports most unreliable:
#1 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
#2 Volkswagen Taos
#3 F-150 Hybrid. : 19 points on a scale of 1-100. Low is bad. 19 is very low. “In theory, a hybrid Ford F-150 should give you all the benefits of a gas-powered pickup truck, only with better fuel economy...
Latest update: after the last 1000 mile trip, not towing and with no codes, I got a check engine warning and “pull over safely now”. The engine died and would not restart. After letting it sit for 20 minutes, the truck started and drove 5 more miles before repeating the failure. 20 more minutes...
What great memories this brings back. I had a 1972 Blazer and made the Coyote Fiats trip 1973-74-75 with the Associated Blazers of CA club 4th of July weekends. At my age I don’t remember everything in my past, but I sure remember those trips. I always thought I was as close to heaven as I could...
I’ve had the same problem on my 21 Powerboost Limited since the truck was new. Dealer said the TSB did not apply to my VIN. They finally agreed to replace the sensor this year. I thought the problem was fixed, but it happened again last weekend. The evaporator is in fact freezing over with ice...

Drain and refill was done at the same time as the torque converter/ hybrid drive assembly was replaced. The fluid was a little dark, but the highest percentage of driving miles is with a trailer weighing 7000 pounds so that is normal.
Looking for any updated information; 2021 Powerboost, 55,000 miles, P084B code. The truck has recently developed a problem that is getting worse. The code started setting only when towing (7K#) on hot days and at the end of long climbs. There were no drivability issues. Dealer tried a pressure...

I installed the harness and camera/TPMS/sway control kit on a 2021 F150 Limited Job 1 and activated it with FORScan. Everything works. The trailer camera is full screen.
