2006 Ford F-150 power train problems

“while in drive, accelerating to highway speeds or cruising around 30 mph it will downshift and jump to about 4000 PMS's and not shift up into 3rd gear. It blown 1 engine and I have replaced the transmissions, taken it to a Ford dealership and they weren't able to help me. I've replaced the ECM and anti-theft modal also and the symptoms still persist. i am i in for over 11K for the new engine and transmission, and another $100 on the ECM and anti-theft modal plus the shop charges. The truck has under 190,000 miles before any of this started. I am the 2nd owner an had for less than 3k miles before any of the problems started. Now I see the 2015-2017 F-150s are having the same problems getting recalled. is there anything involving the earlier Triton's engines?”

“Rotted and bent frame realized after purchase on February 22 at nj car and driver (Cadillacs Plus) for $3500.00 Continues to stall and feels like it’s going to crack in two. Stalled a few times while driving and had to put it in neutral to start back up”

“The shift cable for the automatic transmission was routed next to the exhaust manifold on the engine. The shift cable gets hot and burns into from the heat off the exhaust manifold. I purchased the 2006 Ford F150 used. I had mechanic replace one shift cable with a new shift cable. The new shift cable burned into has I was backing in my driveway. I did research on the internet for trucks in that year range and it included other trucks 2007 and 2008 F150 having the same issue. You can find a ton of utube videos . ShowIng mechanics finding solutions to prevent the shift cables from burning into. I contacted Ford motor company about it. Ford wanted me to take the truck to a dealership and let them diagnosed the problem. The dealership wanted me to pay them a 150 dollars to look at it. I was not going to pay them for something that I already knew the answer too. So it is a manufacturing flaw with the way Ford put the shift cable on 2006 F150 and other F150's in that year range. I hope you research the issue and get back to me soon. Sincerely Yours [XXX] Ph [XXX] [XXX]”

“MY 2006 FORD F 150 HAS 125,000 MILES. I WENT TO PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT MADE A NOISE. APPARENTLY REVERS BAND IN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. I NO LONGER CAN PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK UP. VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND IT BROKE FOR NO REASON.”

“I WAS PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY I BACK OUT TO BACK IN BACK IN TO UNLOAD MY FOURWHEELER AN THE TRUCK WOULDN'T MOVE, I TAPPED THE FUEL A COUPLE TIMES AN SOUND LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN FEBRUARY”

“THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC 4.6L MOTOR AND DOES NOT GET 4RD OR 4TH GEAR. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN IT REACHED 40MPH IT WOULD NOT GO I HAD TO SWITCH TO 2ND GEAR.”
