2019 FORD F-150 Power Train Problems

Transmission failure at 76,000 miles. Vehicle not properly responding coupled with erratic gear behavior when trying to shift gears. Problem was confirmed by Ford dealer Doggett Ford, South Loop, Houston Texas. Diagnosis: Transmission replacement. No warning lights or messages. Problems appeared suddenly and deteriorated quickly. Ford Customer Support was contacted but only offered to pay around $4,000.00 against a $11,000.00 repair estimate by the dealer. How is it possible that these trucks have not been recalled? My internet research in the last month or so since the problem occurred reveals that this is a well known problem with the 10 speed transmission in question. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to any comments you may have.

My F150 is having problems shifting gears. Most prevalent in the lower gears when accelerating. It hesitates as it shifts, up or down, and then creates a loud thud and jerks the truck, as it finally shifts. You can feel it during other gears, as when downshifting to climb a hill. There is a loss of drive during this shifting hesitation, and this creates a safety issue when pulling out into traffic. I have contacted the local Ford dealership, and they stated that I needed to bring it in for a transmission evaluation. I booked the earliest appointment, but it is five weeks out.

10R80 ten speed automatic transmission first exhibited indications of failure 9/16/2020, Ford's response being reprogram PCM. Transmission has progressively declined in reliability complete with harsh shifts, jerking, erratic up and downshifts, suddenly reverting into neutral at highway speeds. Safety of self, wife and other family members imperiled due to the vehicle suddenly lurching, jerking, and slamming forward in an unsafe manner at highway speeds. Ford dealerships have reprogrammed the transmission PCM four times over several years with progressively worsening transmission functionality. Dealership service specialist has confirmed that the transmission failure is due to internal components with burnt fluid as a component. But, Ford will not allow them to open the transmission up, denied repeatedly by the manufacturer as the issue with this 10R80 transmission is widespread with thousands of complaints filed, sone with NHTSA and others online and with Ford Customer Service to no avail. Ford is denying this manufacturer's defective transmission to avoid financial liability likely in the multi million dollar range over a wide array of Ford products with this faulty transmission installed in them. During the four times that Ford dealerships have reprogrammed the transmission's computer at the behest and mandate of Ford Motor Company, this vehicle's transmission repair was covered by both the manufacturers warranty as well as a privately purchased Ford Extended Service Plan (Extra Care). Ford chose deny coverage under either warranty though it is warrantied under both plans explicitly. This failure can result in vehicular accidents because of transmission's erratic and flawed functionality. Stranded on an interstate highway due to this failure especially is dangerous and may leave the vehicle exposed to collision.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the Auto START/STOP feature was inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle was shaking, and while idling, the vehicle started jerking abnormally. The contact stated that the transmission was slow to shift. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the message cylinder #6 misfire was displayed, but had turned off. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25E070000 (Power Train). The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and confirmed the remedy was not yet available, and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

The 10-speed automatic transmission 10r80 on my 2019 Ford F150, experienced hard and delayed shifting, transmission slippage, noticeable loss of power, warning lights coming on and off. Not shifting into gear at all. Transmissions typically last between 150,000 to 200,000 miles, depending on how maintained and driving habits. With proper care, some transmissions can last up to 300,000 miles or more. F150 cam phaser recall affects models from 2017 to 2020, addressing issues like rattling noises and potential engine problems. I actually received this recall, and had my trucked “fixed” at the SAMES Ford in Corpus Christi TX. In late 2021 or early 2022. I was in a Ford Dealership in Redfield SD, in Jun/July 2025 and asked them to check on any recalls for my 2019 F150. I was told there was no recalls on my truck. My truck has roughly 70K miles on it. There is a service bullet 23-2123 for the transmission, and with that recall that should have fixed my truck, yet now my truck is in the shop with every problem on both the recall and the service bullet. I have to replace my transmission and the cam phasers. I have been in and out of shops trying to get this "fixed" and diagnosed since early Dec 2025.

Driving on the interstate with the family in the truck. Was going 70 mph and the truck started bucking and loosing power causing me to swerve to gain control and bring the truck to a stop. On the side of the highway I tried to drive to an exit and the truck proceeded to shift from first to 7 and then say 10 and just rev then slam into first over and over. Limped fo a gas station. Fluid level is good. The junk 10 speed transmission almost cause us to wreck on the interstate at a very bust time. Who know what all damage that would have caused.

I've had extremely hard shifts since I got the vehicle at about 30k miles. I have a 2019 f150 xlt 302a with the 2.7l ecoboost in it. I have since found out that ford has defective CDF Drum parts and have updated the ones that are KNOWN to fail. I keep seeing people getting their transmission shudders and hard shifts fixed via a TSB or Recall, but my vehicle never shows any recalls. I dont understand. I've had the defective CDF Drum in my truck since I bought it. Why am I not able to get the recall fix. I've known for quite some time that it's going to fail at some point. Nobody at the Stealership had any help or info for me. So that's why I'm here. My transmission has had issues since the day I bought it. Why do I not qualify for the recall or TSB? I bought it used but it was gold certified so the warranty was until 100k miles. I now have approximately 122k miles on it now. Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Thank you and happy new year!!

2019 Ford F150 is having a transmission issues. This issue is known by Ford Motor Company which is addressed in a TSB. The issues that are occurring with the CDF drums which prone to bushing failure and causing erratic shifting while driving on highways and residential areas. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by the local Ford Dealer, but the cost would be between $6000-$7500 so far. There were no warning indications prior to the issues. There are known lawsuits in regards to the 10R80 tranmissions and Ford fails to issue a recall on the models with it installed. I was on the highway driving around 65-70 mph when the transmission started to jerk and then bog. This is DEFINITELY a safety risk for any Ford owner and others driving around them.

I own a 2019 F-150 XLT truck with only 56,000 miles. I bought the truck brand new in 2019 and now it only has 56,000 miles! The transmission just failed and is not under warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles and it's frustrating Ford doesn't have any recalls for this Truck. This Truck is unsafe and needed a new 10 speed 1080r transmission. Incident #1-I was on the freeway at 65 miles an hour and the truck downshifted into 2nd gear! It abruptly, slowed down and I had to pull over on the side of the freeway, luckily no one was close behind me. I then had to re-start and make it back home. Incident #2- I was turning right at a light and had to merge into traffic and speed up to merge and the truck transmission went into neutral and would not shift into gear. I immediately pulled to the side of the road with cars slamming on their breaks behind me, honking! Incident#3- I was at a red light waiting to turn left and when the light turned green the truck transmission would not go..it was stuck in neutral and after a few seconds shifted and slammed into gear! The car behind me was using their horn to get me moving. A big wrench warning light came on the dashboard and then I decided to fix the issue. I took the Truck to the local Ford dealer and was told to get in line because there were 70 vehicles in back all waiting for the same issue. The dealer gave me an estimate to fix the transmission was $12,000-14,000 dollars! and could take a couple months before they look at my truck. So frustrating because I need a vehicle to get to work. I took it to a local transmission shop and he inspected the transmission and stated I needed to order a new one from Ford. I paid $9,800 for a new 10 speed transmission for my 2019 Ford Truck. I was without my truck for 1 week and caused a big inconvenience to my family.

The 10 speed transmission slips, misses and fails across all gears, but especially in lower gears. Engine only had 37,000 miles on it when I bought the vehicle through Carvana. It’s been having this issue from day one.

Driving 80 mph on a toll road and when the truck downshifted while going up a hill, it couldn't find a gear and almost downshifted into 1st gear. It also got stuck in 4th gear in another incident and left me crawling through the middle of an intersection.

10r80 transmission failure at 67,000 miles. My wife drove the vehicle with our 6 month old daughter in her carseat. The vehicle would not shift out of 3rd gear while getting onto the highway. Two days later, I was driving and it would not shift out of first gear. Extremely dangerous and will (not if) lead to injuries and death. Dealership confirmed the entire transmission will need to be replaced

Dec of 2022 I took my truck into the dealer (under warranty) because I felt the transmission would slip when trying to get it into gear while cold. They said they could not replicate it. The slipping and clunking into gear persisted when you started it in cold weather only. Last weekend (Dec 2025) in a snow storm in rural Michigan we put it into four wheel drive. It kept slipping and clunking but finally would not stay in gear. Then the warning light went on that we had a 4-wheel fault. We have never seen that before. It was very scary because we were in the middle of farmland with blowing snow and we had a difficult time even finding a place to turn around. We eventually got it to the dealership which said we needed a new transmission. I have seen this issue raised on social media and found this. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration): There are 124 official complaints specifically filed for the 2019 model year. I complained to FORD which said they could not help me. My case number with them is XXX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My transmission is slipping jerking sometimes won't go in gear I have it at the Ford dealership now. It's a 10 speed and it should be in the recall like all the others. It's doing the exact same thing

Transmission shifts erratically, especially in 3rd, 5th, and 7th, as well as all the od gears. Mechanic shop says its very likely CDF drum failure as this is a very common issue around 70,000 miles. In fact, this is so common he recommends everyone with this issue to report it here so there can be a record and possible recall soon.

Transmission problem .10R80. Vehicle would not move from stop in 1st or 2nd gear.

No check engine light before, during, or after the incident. Pulling on to road in traffic, transmission started slipping, not allowing me to get to speed of traffic. This almost caused a rear end collision. It is absurd to have paid this much money for a vehicle and so many people have this same issue. (CDF drum and valve body). Consumer has to pay $6,000 to $10,000. Ford needs to be held accountable for this garbage they produced. Absolute worst and unsafe issue ever encountered in all my years of owning vehicles. It’s ashamed and sad, I’ll have to continue to drive my vehicle this way because i don't have $10,000 to repair what should be recalled. This transmission has shifted horribly so many times almost creating fatal crashes, it’s a death trap. Where is accountability these days?

-10-speed 10R80 transmission in 2019 F150 it felt unsafe (jerking, loss of power) -takes a long time for truck to get up in speed after making a stop -vehicle has been inspected by a shop -truck has not showed any warning lamps

This complaint is specifically about the transmission. The problem has been fixed, sort of, through Ford’s extended warranty. However, I think it’s still worthy of a complaint. My transmission was slipping out of and slamming into 4th and 8th gear. Turns out there is a TSB related to the issue. After multiple trips to the dealership, I finally received a completely rebuilt transmission. All new internals. Apparently my CDF drum and a pressure band had failed. Even with the fix I am not beginning to feel slipping and slamming into 4th gear again. Something tells me the slam into 4th will eventually leave me stranded at about 30mph somewhere.

The 10 speed 10R80 shifts hard, down shifts hard, loses power\like in neutral. This issue is going to cause an accident and\or death - if it hasn't happened already. These issues have been reported to NHTSA since 2017 and NOTHING has transpired. NHTSA is culpable in any accidents, death\injury by not requiring Ford to issue a recall for a known defect in a critical system.

2019 F-150 2.7L EcoBoost, 10-speed. Intermittent unintended acceleration: while coasting or braking at low speed (10–25 mph) the engine suddenly revs to 3–4k RPM with a strong lurch forward against the brakes. Requires hard braking and shifting to Neutral to stop. Happens year-round, warm or cold, no warning lights. This is a known issue covered by TSB 19-2135 and SSM 49240 This problem started in 2020 at about 10K mileage. Has occurred about 10 times since with about 82K mileage now. The service dealer at Acton Ford tried to reproduce the problem a couple years ago by driving it, but acceleration problem didn’t happen. The problem occurred today, Dec 6, 2025 while braking for a stop light when I had to stomp on the brakes and shifted into Park. This could be dangerous if I pulled through the red light into cross-traffic.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to a lower gear. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure became more frequent after the initial failure. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealer, where a diagnostic test was performed, and the contact was informed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 102,000.

Mileage: 102,000

* The transmission regularly misses shifts through the lower gears when accelerating, particularly when the transmission is not yet up to operating temperature. It's as if the transmission goes into neutral, the engine races (tach spools up to 3500/4000 rpm), and then the transmission will slam into the next gear. * I cannot depend on the truck to merge predictably with traffic, and lurching and breaking traction ("burnouts", chirping tires) are distracting at the least, and potentially dangerous and damaging to other driveline components. * The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by an independent transmission shop through a test drive, and by the local Ford dealership's technician / service department. Service records are available. * Apart from the above it has not been inspected by other agencies. * There are no other indications either through the vehicle on-board systems or DTCs visible on independent or dealer scanners. There was an indication when I bought the vehicle due to a needed recall / software update. I complied with the update at the dealer and the fault indication cleared itself. I do not know if there is any relation to the current problem. Note that this symptom appears virtually every time the truck is driven, so "date the incident occurred" is "various", although listed as today.

I have a 2019 Ford F150 with a 10R80 transmission. It has been shuddering and has erratic shifting. Now it is at a dealership and they want $9000 to repair a known problem. It appears that Ford and the NHTSA are aware of this problem with these transmissions. The problem has been going on since Ford went to these transmissions. When will the Federal Government step in and make Ford have a safety recall. Going from 8th Gear to 2nd gear is like hitting a concrete wall. Ford has several Bulletins out for repairing these transmissions but refuse to inform the consumer. So if this problem happens outside of the warranty Ford wants to get paid. Please help the American consumer and hold Ford accountable for the defective product.

Refusing to supply a vehicle for Powertrain control module pcm reprogramming Recall repair

Driving at highway speed the original transmission down shifted by it self At 70 m.p.h. The truck made a clunk and skid for a few seconds, then transmission fluid started spewing all over the place. Hade too take to dealer in Mount Vernon iowa they replaced transmission at 100,053 miles. Now the remanufactured transmission from ford is doing the same thing with only around 2,000 miles on it. This time it happened I was scared that we were going to wreck. The truck actually bounced in the rear and skidded again. I think there should be something done before my self or someone else gets killed with this issue. As of now my truck is at the shop again for the transmission problem. Thanks [XXX] .

10R80 transmission in the 2019 Ford F-150 is defective and dangerous. Hard/delayed shifting and shuddering causes vehicle to speed up, slow down and jerk unexpectedly while shifting gears.

During driving, the transmission began hesitating when shifting from 4th to 5th gear. Then in stop and go traffic, it would shift hard from 1st gear to the point my head would slam into the headrest. I would then get a notice on the dashboard of a power train failure. Once I turned the vehicle off, the notice would disappear and the vehicle would begin to shift normally for a while, before the hard shifting would continue. On the freeway, sometimes when the vehicle tried to down shift, it would hesitate and I was concerned I would be rear ended as it would not speed up. I brought the truck into 2 different ford dealerships and they both said it needed a new transmissison. There is 123,00 miles on this 2019 Ford F150. I had also related to the dealerships that there was a rattle when starting the vehicle and they said it is due to the cam shifters or more and a complete engine tear down was recommended. At the same time, the electronic screen would sometimes freeze, turn off when driving or not turn on initally. The dealerships said this needed to be replaced. The estimates for repair were from $16,461 to $13,686.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal banging sound, and the transmission was slipping. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle failed to shift into gear for an extended for a while. The contact waited for the vehicle to respond as needed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

On May 5th 2025 I had a routine oil change tie rotation on my 2019 f150, 77,000 miles. There was no visible signs of transmission fluid leak or transmission issues. The week of May 15th 2025 i started experiencing hard shifting random downshifting without notice.So I immediately contacted crossroads ford of sanford NC to bring it in. There Was zero transmission fluid, so they did a full transmission service at only 77,000. Which made the problem worse Turns out, it was a bad CDF DRUM. My endurance warranty denied my claim.Which should have been covered. This cost me $8,600 out of pocket. It came out of nowhere, the downshifting with no notice a warning is extremely dangerous!

Vehicle has just over 62,000 miles on it and is just out of warranty. On [XXX] I was driving home from Colorado and the 10r80 transmission hesitated downshifting for a few seconds when climbing a hill and let out a very loud banging sound which shook the whole truck. Shortly after, the transmission tried to downshift and upshift on it's own repeatedly and would not transfer power at all. I quickly shifted it into neutral and pulled to the side of the road. This was really sudden and happened with no warning at full highway speeds(75 mph) on [XXX] southbound. If my wife would have been driving, I am not sure she would have been able to react as quickly. She wouldn't have realized what was happening. This could have easily resulted in a serious or life threatening accident. The leaking fluid also caused a sigificant amount of smoke on the underside of the vehicle as it dripped on the exhaust system. I quickly shut the vehicle off realizing it could catch on fire, but someone may not realize this as a possibility in the moment. I currently have the vehicle at a local transmission shop who has rebuilt several of these Ford 10r80 transmissions. His opinion, which will be verified by the teardown process as he rebuilds it, is that there are several common failure points which should have already been recalled by Ford in these transmissions. #1. The CDF drum which holds the clutch packs is machined in a way which allows the seal to slip and cause falure. #2. The valve body is know to wear prematurely which causes movement and leakage contributing to failure. #3. The high pressure pump is also a known failure point which can cause downstream shift issues and failure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The 10 speed transmission had two occurrences where it failed. The first was while driving the transmission went into neutral on its own and would not go into any gear. The vehicle was towed to the dealership for a new computer part before it would operate again. The second time was when I was pulling the truck behind my motorhome but this time it went from neutral into gear in its own. The vehicle was towed this way for the previous 4 years without incident. The vehicle became a safety hazard because it broke down both times where it could not be moved. A tow truck was used both times to get the vehicle out of the road. There was no warning before this happened both times. Ford had to replace the computer module the first time and the whole transmission was replaced the second time. Warranty covered the first and I had to pay $10,000 for the second repair. Since I had this happen I have talked to several people that have had the same happen to them.

Transmission slipping in multiple gears, and early shift shudder. Random acceleration in low gear shift point

1)It was determined to be a defective CDF drum in the transmission was replaced by an independent service center. 2)The defective CDF drum started causing erratic and hard shifting. The most dangerous issue was when it would try to shift into 9th gear but indicated a shift for first gear on the display. It acted like it was deciding whether to shift to 9th or 1st but doing neither. The wrench icon would pop up on the display and I put on the brakes. If it would have shifted to 1st going 55 MPH it could have caused injury to myself and others. 3) No accident happened so I did not report it to any authority. I capped the shifting to 7th gear max. 4)I had the service center inspect the vehicle and they determined the CDF drum was bad and the transmission needed to be repaired or replaced. 5)a warning light wrench icon lit up on the display after it indicated a shift to 1st gear instead of 9th gear going approximately 55 MPH. Other symptoms were harsh shifts from 1st to 3rd gear skipping 2nd gear and other rough shifting throughout the range.

Timing chain and gears need to be replaced. Check engine light came on. This should not be happening to a newer vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. I looked up other complaints and multiple people have filed complaints about the timing chain going out on their vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact continued driving; while driving downhill, the vehicle slowed down unintended. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. While the contact moved the gear shift lever to drive(D) the vehicle failed to function as intended. The contact shifted to 4-WD, and vehicle functioned properly for a short while. The contact stated that the message "Service Engine Soon" was displayed, and the “WRENCH” warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a voltage issue with the solenoid in the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired, because the codes were cleared. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for the software update. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the software update was performed. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while driving at a slow speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle then went into LIMP Mode. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The message "Service Engine Soon" was displayed, and the “WRENCH” warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the solenoid and unknown valves had failed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.

SINCE I GOT THE TRUCK NEW FROM FORD DEALER WHEN COLD IT WOULD HAVE A RUFF TIME GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR BUT NOTHING SPECIAL BUT AFTER 40000 MILES IM STARTING TO SEE THE HARD SHIFTING HAPPENING TO MANY TIME WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES I PRESS THE GAS AND THE TRUCK REDUCES SPEED OR IT JUST HAS A VERY HARD SHIFT ACTUALLY HURTS MY BACK WHEN THAT HAPPENS POSSIBLY A CHANCE OF LOSSING COTROL OF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING... SCARY

I had bought this vehicle in December 2019 and started having issue in December of 2022 with transmission shifting erratically took in for service at 33,000 miles they repaired and ran fine till recently in August of 2025 doing the same thing but worse than before erratic shifting and going back and forth in gears when you are going 65 mph it will shift down in gears this is a big safety concern due to erratic shifting

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the engine compartment. The cam phaser was replaced, but the vehicle continued to experience hesitation and shuddering while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, and the transmission was replaced. The contact indicated that 20,000 miles later, the vehicle experienced the same failures and was taken back to the dealer, who discovered metal shavings in the engine oil. The contact was advised that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The VIN was not available.

Harsh and rough automatic shifting while transmission is cold. Diagnosed by dealership as bad CDF drum brushings. Recommend new transmission.

Transmission has erratic behavior. Several times it would not downshift or would hunt for a proper gear with the 10 speed automatic transmission at intersections and when making turns with oncoming traffic. Very dangerous. I have decided to park it. Dealer said it needs transmission replacement.

The transmission failed in October 2023 on my way home from work. Brought it to a transmission place and had another one put in. Cost $6k - The truck is now at another mechanic as it broke down again while driving home from work - transmission and engine this time. Mechanic says needs new transmission and timing chain kit - Cost $10k This is a truck that has 100k miles on it and only 6 years old. This will be the 3rd transmission. It is a safety risk as I have no control when the transmission gives out whether its on a highway or one of these country back roads.

My truck started shifting hard and I took it to a shop and had to pay over $7000 due to my transmission going bad. I bought the car and had a lifetime power train warranty on it and ford stated they would not cover it still. So I had to pay over $7000 out of my pocket due to their mistake

Merging onto highway, the transmission stayed in-between gears and did not allow me to accelerate forcing me to ride the break down lane momentarily. I had to shift to N and then back to D to regain acceleration. As continued to the next exit the transmission shifted from 7 to 1 and then back to 7 causing a hard shift and a violent jolt of the vehicle. This happened in 9th gear as well before reaching my destination. A wrench icon was on the dash and the Ford app showed a "Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power" warning. There have also been countless hard shifts prior to the incident above. If there was no break down lane while merging, I would have been a hazard to the traffic on the limited access highway and may have caused an accident due to the low speed and no acceleration. I have a service appointment on Sept 04, 2025 with the dealership I bought the vehicle from. (Not a Ford Dealer)

Transmission blew up and skips

In June we started having transmission issues. Collateral was taken to Lynch Ford in Mt. Vernon IA. When we would drive the unit the transmission would slip. The final incident was when we were driving down [XXX] at 70 Miles per hour the transmission began to slip again. We had to pull over off the side of the road as the truck went in to limp mode. We had to continue to drive to the dealer at a lower rate of speed because we could not get a tow truck to pick us up. Dealer informed us the transmission was out and needed replaced. We spent close to 8K to replace the transmission. The collateral had just turned over 100K for miles. Since installing the new transmission we continue to have transmission issue. Truck as been back to Lynch Ford for further a diagnostic. They flashed the transmission and told us to drive the unit 400 miles to see if the flash fixes the problem. We have only had the truck less than 8 months. Location Stanwood Iowa. There should be a recall on these transmissions and owners who spent money to replace the transmission should be reimbursed.

My ten speed transmission is shifting erratic and slipping. I have asked Krenzen auto dealer to please diagnose and advise about the problem. They ran codes and say nothing comes up. I requested a transmission flush and was told they don't have the tools. I afraid that this could become a safety hazzard if it gets worse.

In July 2025 my 2019 Ford F150 began to have hard shift changes, unexpected downshifts and other shifting issues especially in 4th and 8th gear. Then during the first week of August I pulled out at an intersection and when the truck shifted into 4th gear it lost all power however the engine was still running. Thankfully no one was behind me as this could have caused a serious accident resulting in the loss of life for those involved. It slowed down to approximately 20 mph then suddenly regained power and lunged and shifted up to 5th. This happened several times so I took it to the local Ford dealer and they said the transmission was defective and needed replacing. The truck’s mileage was 129,000 and they said it was not covered by warranty and that even though Ford was aware of the numerous problems with the 2017-2022 10R80 transmission they refused to issue a recall and instead issued several TSBs (Technical Service Bulletin) to the dealers. It costs me $8699.72 to have a remanufactured transmission installed and has the improved CDF drum which was part of the defective transmissions Ford used in 2017-2022 in their F-150, Ranger, Expedition and Explorers. Ford knowing and continues to endanger the lives of its customers that operate these vehicles built between 2017-2022 by refusing to issue a recall for the known 10R80 transmission problems and it is costing these customers thousands of dollars to repair what Ford should have done in the first place. NHTSA must investigate these issues and mandate Ford issue an immediate recall and fully reimburse customers who have paid to have their transmissions replaced.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60–70 MPH, the vehicle jerked and vibrated abnormally. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was able to continue driving; however, the vehicle was driving roughly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained at the dealer unrepaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

There is, and has been, a consistent rattle sound from the waste gates and all I was told was that Ford knows about the issue and states that it is normal operation yet it can cause damage and reduce performance and could cause a safety issue if it fails and allows no power to be delivered especially if the failure occurs on an interstate. All I’ve been told is the issue can be addressed with a DIY fix of adding a spring but no support from Ford is given in regards to this issue. This is documented all over the forums and is a known issue plaguing the 3.5 ecoboost f150s. The next issue is in regards to the transmission shifting roughly, jerking and sometimes lagging when trying to accelerate. Currently my truck only has 88k miles and this issue has been present since roughly 60k miles and has not been addressed even though it’s been made known.

2019 Ford F150 began hard shifting and disengaging. I contacted the service center and was advised that it adaptive learning. Within a week while driving the transmission completely failed while driving. Dealership states a new transmission is needed. There was no warning nor lamps or messages that appeared prior to the failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 70 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The vehicle lost motive power and decelerated to 10 MPH, and while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated that her husband pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and was able to continue driving normally. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure also occurred while the contact was driving approximately 35 MPH, and the vehicle jolted and lost motive power. The contact stated that the "WRENCH" symbol was displayed. The contact pulled over and stopped and restarted the vehicle, and was able to resume driving normally. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (Power Train); however, neither the VIN nor the model year was included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.

Well, my motor has already been replaced with less than 80,000 miles because of an engine oil consumption issue. My transmission is not shifting correctly. It jerks and shifts hard. It’s been an issue since I bought it.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious transmission defect that has developed in my vehicle. The transmission exhibits repeated and worsening malfunctions, including surging, hesitation, jerking, lunging, and slipping between gears. These defects substantially impair my ability to operate the vehicle safely, create an unreasonable risk of collision, and endanger the safety of passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists. This matter requires immediate attention due to the significant safety risks posed. The transmission system of the vehicle has failed and exhibits repeated malfunctions, including surging, hesitation, jerking, lunging, and slipping between gears. The vehicle and its transmission remain available for inspection upon request. The transmission failure places both the operator and the public at significant risk by causing sudden, unintended, and unpredictable vehicle movements. These malfunctions substantially impair the driver’s ability to maintain safe control of the vehicle, creating an elevated risk of collision and endangerment to passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists. The failure was reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Ford dealership during the first week of August. The dealership initially attempted a transmission reflash procedure at a cost of $280, which failed to remedy the defect. Approximately two weeks later, following illumination of the wrench warning indicator on the dashboard, the vehicle was returned to the dealership where it was formally confirmed that the transmission is failing. (Oct 17, 2024 completed a Transmission Flush with 86,962 miles) Note: My son has a 2019 F150 as well with 77K miles and his truck is starting to have the same issues.

Slamming shifts and missing gears when driving. Went to accelerate yesterday and it completly missed 3rd gear and felt like it shut off before finally shifting into 4th after about 5 seconds.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, while at a stoplight, the vehicle jerked abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to cover a part of the cost for the repair. The approximate failure mileage was 58,800.

Mileage: 58,800

Transmission had a huge delay when trying to shift into 4th gear. Was trying to pull out and was almost hit by traffic because the truck would not accelerate. The truck cut power and took 5 seconds before it would shift into the next gear. This is a known issue with the CDF drum in the transmission, it is a design flaw and ford knows about this issue. This is absolutely dangerous and needs to be recalled.

My F150 constantly needs oil and seems to lag when the oil tank is low. 163000km on the engine. I've heard other 2019 f150 drivers have the same problem. It also has a hard shift after sitting for the night, it will drop gears while going uphill which seems to be from third gear to fourth but instead drops to 3rd again creating a clunk noise. It hasn't caused an accident or anything yet but from my last truck this thing definitely was not built the way it should have been. I think Ford needs to have a serious look at these trucks before someone gets hurt.

abruptly shifts from 3 to 4 gear

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission experienced hard downshifts, causing the vehicle to jerk and abruptly decelerate.

Failure of the timing chain started as a rattle on a cold start. I contacted the dealership, and they indicated that all 2019 EcoBoosts need to have cam phasers and timing chain replaced, or they can cause major engine failure.

Transmission shifts very hard into the next gear and also downshifts randomly at highway speeds I was driving down the highway and I let off of the accelerator and my truck decided to go into first gear I’m lucky I was able to hit the brakes fast enough

The contact owned a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while the contact’s wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle's speed was about 30 MPH. The contact stated the vehicle drove across the grass of the neighbor's yard, which was located directly across from the contact’s home. The vehicle crashed into the neighbor's parked vehicle, which was parked in the neighbor's driveway. The vehicle then went into an embankment and into a little ditch. The contact stated that the vehicle came out of the ditch and into the street sideways. No injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The neighbor's vehicle was condemned as a total loss. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 66,500.

Transmission shifts hard and accelerates unexpectedly. Acceleration is not smooth as expected.

On [XXX] with an empty vehicle besides I myself the driver, going south bound on [XXX] just north of twin falls Idaho I had cruise control set to 81 MPH when I felt a slow to the vehicle then noticed an uncontrolled/unprompted shift and loss of power indicated on the dash cluster jumping from 10-9-7-10-5-3-8-9 gears then transmission temperature went from 176 degrees to 205 degrees for the remainder of the trip. I proceeded to pull over and let the transmission rest for 45 mins then proceeded with my trip after not seeing any exterior damage or leaks. And it did not shift higher than 9th gear while cruise control was engaged even at lower speeds. The transmission then began to experience harder shifting, and gained a shutter like a clutch pack not engaging properly form 1-3rd gear, and sporadic shifting under light normal driving conditions at random intervals and remains to now have a normal operating temp of 204 degrees under normal driving conditions. Took it to be diagnosed at a ford dealer and it was the CDF drum that lead to a a cascade of issues leading to the transmission needing replacement.

Transmission failure. Transmission problems began with the having a significant delay in shifting when cold. This resulted in a safety concern when pulling out into traffic and the vehicle would stop moving. As the problem worsened shift points got harder and the truck computer would show that it was shifting from a high gear to first gear at highway speeds. A reputable transmission shop inspected the vehicle and removed the transmission. They confirmed that a sleeve or bushing in the CDF drum had moved and disrupted oil flow to the clutch packs.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle started to jerk and stalled while in fifth gear and depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was illuminated. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, weeks after the repair, the clutch was replaced. The contact was informed that a sensor in the transmission was replaced; however, a week later the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 137,000.

The transmission can behave erratically: Harsh shifting, jerking or lunging, occasional temporary loss of power, gear slipping, difficulty shifting gears, and unexpected movement while driving. I have already had the vehicle inspected and the transmission serviced, but the behavior continues at random times and is difficult to recreate on demand. This poses a potential safety threat to people in this vehicle and those nearby.

Transmission failure.. hard jerking and downshifting.. almost caused me to wreck while driving down the highway.. transmission skips gears and downshifting and almost brought me to a complete stop on the highway

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the transmission failed to operate as intended, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact coasted to the side of the road and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The vehicle received an undisclosed repair; however, when shifting to reverse and then into drive, the vehicle failed to respond while attempting to accelerate. The contact turned and restarted the vehicle and moved the gear shifter out of drive and then back into drive; however, the vehicle failed to respond, with the RPM elevated, with an undisclosed warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Metter Ford (125 Creek 28, Metter, GA 30439); to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the transmission case connector had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Unexpected downshift from 10th down to 1st gear then back to 10th.

Transmission failure causing downshifts at highway speeds to 1st gear and neutral. Random shifting issues causing vehicle jerking and loss of power to the wheels. Safety of all passengers at risk when merging onto highways into traffic at speed. Unable to safely get to highway speeds without power loss or sudden rough jerking. Problem was reproduced by dealer and 3rd party service shop Manufacturer refused to look into the issue, only recommended full replacement at $10,000 of the owners expense and did not guarantee the issue will go away without a warranty. Signs found 20K miles earlier, manufacturer called them "normal symptoms" and shouldn't need to be looked at.

While driving in Texas the transmission of my vehicle started to act up. While going up a hill the transmission came out of gear and would not go which almost caused an accident. The transmission is the Ford 10R80 which has had several safety issues. A recall needs to be issued by Ford to fix the issue at Ford's expense. This will cause a serious accident.

Transmission flutters a little before changing from 1st to 2nd gear. In 4th and 5th gear the transmission pauses a few seconds before going into the next gear. From 8th gear to the ninth gear, the transmission jerks really hard. The transmission only has 72000 miles on it. And also the dash board material is coming up.The lane assist jerks really hard sometimes, forcing you in another lane. No warnings or faults during each incidents.

Our home is situated on a blind curve, and the speed limit is 55 mph. When pulling out onto the road, adequate acceleration is necessary to merge with the traffic flow. The truck initially accelerates as expected, then stops accelerating before suddenly jerking forward. Occasionally, it takes several seconds for the vehicle to accelerate, which creates a hazardous situation when approaching traffic is moving at 55 mph. It has not caused an accident yet but it has caused me to adjust my driving and times to use the truck. I use my wife's car (another Ford) most of the time. This hesitation and strange shifting poses safety risks for all road users. On 5/21/2025, I took the truck to Ford dealer, and on 5/30/2025, was informed that major work was required on the transmission and differential, estimated at $12,383.80. Seeking an alternative assessment due to financial considerations, I consulted a specialist who confirmed that the transmission and pinion bearings needed repair or replacement. The vehicle was returned to dealer on 6/4/2025 for differential repairs, completed on 6/13/2025 at a cost of $4,486.26. The transmission repair was not in the budget. Subsequent research indicated that the 10R80 transmission has a record of mechanical issues, service bulletins, recalls, and related legal matters. It appears likely that the jerky shifting of the transmission contributed to the failure of the pinion bearings. Although the truck is out of warranty and has 64,430 miles, given the safety concerns, I request that Ford review my case for assistance with the remaining transmission repairs, in light of documented issues with the 10R80. I request that Ford evaluate this request in consideration of customer satisfaction, public safety, and corporate responsibility. I know Ford is well aware of the problems as there are 474 other complaints on file. They need to step up and do the right thing before this causes serious injuries.

Bought a 2019 ford f150 V6 3.5L Having issues with transmission slipping gears really hard! Even after warming up car then put in drive I accelerate maybe 3-5mph Due to speed bumps in neighborhood From gear 1 skips 2 and goes to 3rd gear hard and I have to be ready to break cause it kicks in to 3rd gear and speeds up. Even when on main road almost almost crashed into cars. Numerous times. It’s actually scary during with family in truck do to these issues. Also just that 40-45 mph 5-7 gear skip and slipping so much almost crashed!! . Pls investigate this issue people bye this brand due to thinking it’s a safe, spend so much money on this truck purchase then find out problems that has nothing to do with its customer. Just selling something just to stay in the 500 fortune company lvl And not caring bout the customer life and family when they purchase FORD PRODUCT. Just NOT RIGHT!! With out us customers your product is just sitting unsold sitting brand. Due what’s right by your customer and own up to doing the right thing. To all those other customers pls continue to be alert when driving, be safe..

Transmission shifting to random gears roughly. Driving on highway and went from 7-8 then down to 1 then back to 9 and lost power ON THE HIGHWAY. Came back and was able to pull of to the side but this transmission has been rough for a while now but today became a major safety problem..

We bought a 2019 F-150 Limited 4x4 last year and we have experienced in the last couple of months we started to experience the truck to skip the shifting on the 10 gear transmission. it skips the gear 2 to 3 and then at 6 to 7, you can experience the pulling on the transmission. it is starting to feel more and more the jerking of the gears and we were advised by a mechanic we called that these trucks from years 2016 to 2019 all are having the same problems. these truck are requiring for the transmission to be overhauled or replace. costing anywhere between 5,000 to 7,000. we were told that it has nothing to do with reprogramming the transmission, the inside components need to be replaced, it seems like when these transmissions were build by ford, the components/parts, seals, gaskets, bands, etc were not properly done. we have found several people in the internet that have had the same problem but it seems like Ford MOtor Company does not want to take liability for the transmissions being assemble incorrectly. it seems like the truck is loosing RPM's and it runs the risk of one day not to drive. It can loose power in the road which can cause accident. we are not financially to get this replaced or repaired and we still have 3 years topay off this truck. I do not know if there are any other complaints against FOrd MOtor Company regarding this but I need to let you all know.

At freeway speeds, truck suddenly started shifting into random gears. It was cruising in 10th gear at about 65-70mph, with trailer in tow, driving normally and fine. Truck started shifted randomly, slipping gears, and going out of gear completely causing power loss. Transmission would then attempt to shift back into gear, all on its own. It would go into 5th through 10 all while slipping back out of gear in between. Some of the down shifts were sudden, and caused me to concentrate to keep the truck and trailer in control. After a few minutes of this, smoke appeared out the back, quite a deal of smoke. It wasn't long until the transmission temperature guage started reading high (but not warning or critical). Then the check engine like came on with "powertrain error". I was able to pull off the freeway, but under duress as it was very busy, and the smoke caused another motorist to pull over and see if I was on fire. It appeared the transmission fluid was "venting" and spraying on the exhaust, and after pulling over it luckily stopped, otherwise I'm sure that oil would have caught fire shortly.

Knocking, rattling noise so we brought to the mechanic. Cam phasers and timing chain need to be replaced.

The truck will not stay in park and rolls backward if on a slope. This has happened several times and I am afraid someone is going to be injured or killed.

Ford REFUSED to address the known safety issues with the 10R80 10 speed transmission defective CDF drum and defective valve body the whole 42 to times it was taken to the dealership under warranty. Like everyone else with these transmission, Ford and their dealerships continued to lied to all us owners and said it was working fine and there was nothing defective with this transmission.. As of May 23, 2023 Ford issued a TSB 22-2428, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT Automatic Transmission - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift - Built On Or Before 23-Dec-2022 " Ford issued a TSB and not a recall since they knew the affected vehicles would be out of warranty and they could then charge the owners pay for repair cost of $8,000- $12,000 for a new transmission replacement. Ford refuses to replace these transmission at their expense, if you are out of warranty, which most are unless you have a extend warranty. How it even legal that they aren't required by law to replace these transmission at the full expense of Ford since they clearly sold us vehicles with known defective transmission from the beginning and refused to address when the vehicles were under warranty. Many of us owners can't believe the NHTSA would allow a safety issue like this to continue on our roadways without forcing Ford to recall and replace all these defective transmission at Ford expense.

Went to pull out into traffic and the transmission would not go into gear. It would not go forward or reverse, so I had to push it out of the road. There were no warning lamps on for transmission service.

The transmission began having issues shifting/changing gears at the beginning of March. The gears don't engage correctly, the truck doesn't move, then all of a sudden jerks into position. Very dangerous at the start of a light or turn as the car seems to go; then all of a sudden will not shift and is just stuck in the road. Similar danger when on the highway alongside traffic and the transmission does not easily or smoothly shift, making the truck lose momentum. It is most noticeable in the lower gears.The jerking motion of the truck when it finally catches, or shifts, is quite harsh and abrupt for the truck and driver. There is clunking noise when this happens. The warning lights did not come on prior to the issue or during the initial onset of the issue. It did come on as the condition worsened. The problem is noted with other Ford owners with the same 10R80 transmission. The dealer has inspected and witnessed the issue. Suggested full replacement of the transmission with an new CDF, so the issue doesn't recur. Just outside of the 5yr powertrain( but was within the mileage) so they will not cover any of the cost. If we replace the transmission, it is only guaranteed for two years. Attached is the diagnostic report and options to repair. They have the new, improved transmission in stock.

Bought a 2019 Ford F150 with 32,000 miles. A year later, I noticed a rattling sound coming from engine. Dealership said I had very little oil. No leaks anywhere. Dealership said I had started an oil consumption test at 10,000 miles. I informed Dealership I did not own car at those miles. Went to Dealership I bought vehicle from to inform them that they knowingly sold me a truck with known issues. Using about 1 quart every 1000 miles. Also, after Fords band-aid they put on, seems to be hesitant on acceleration. Dangerous in busy intersections. Ford refuse to fix a known issue with this vehicle.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 45MPH 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST ALMOST WRECK, DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANS WAS GONE

My 2019 F150 has issues with both the cam phasers and the transmission. Every time I turn on my truck I get the ford “cold start rattle” because defective parts from the factory that ford has known were defective and later fixed but for some reason my truck was not in the recall. My truck came off the same assembly line and time period of previous CSP or recall programs but my vin was never included. My truck also has 60,000 miles and the 10 speed transmission clunks all the time. I’m not sure if it’s missing shifts or what is breaking but everyone with a f150 around this year knows they are common to have transmission issues. Sometimes my truck doesn’t find the proper gear getting started and will rev high and barely move until it finally gets shift right and gets moving. These 2019 F150 issues are far too common i see them all across the blogs and internet and know a few other owners who have similar issues.

My Ford F-150 with 5.0 V8, 10-speed automatic transmission, and only 46k miles has been diagnosed by my Ford Service Dept. (Angela Krause Ford in Alpharetta, GA) with the known 10R80 10-speed transmission issue (completely destroyed transmission and drum) and I now must receive a new one. This issue started around 43k miles, but I had no idea of the transmission design flaw that exists. While driving this Memorial Day Weekend (2025) from Atlanta to VA with my wife and twin girls, we were nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer because the transmission would not let me speed up for several seconds. It wasn’t able to select a gear. When it finally did, the tractor trailer was up to my rear bumper. This was extremely scary and could have been life threatening. There must be a recall issued for this flawed Ford transmission that is in F-150s, Explorers, etc. built before 2022. For owners of Fords that are out of warranty and are expected to pay for this repair is unacceptable. This will financially ruin many people and worse, will lead to a death or more at some point. I beg you to research and do something about this. Thank you.

Transmission, gets stuck in high gears when only doing 20 mph. Had transmission rebuilt and a new torque converter by a ford dealer.. still has issues and they have no clue !!!!!!! It puts strain in The eingine...... and makes the transmission shutter! This has been since 60,000 miles, truck now has 70,100 miles

While driving at highway speeds the transmission goes into neutral or downshifts dramatically on its own. My investigation online reveals that this is a common phenomenon with this model and year and I’m shocked there isn’t a recall for this safety issue because of the danger from losing control of the vehicle at highway speed. The information revealed that some vehicles can be repaired with a software update and many require a complete transmission replacement. Please investigate.

Vehicle has 54k and requires a$4000 repair Ford Repair Bulletin 24-2046 I bought the truck with 5k on it and the extended warranty is not transferable Apparently this a very common issue. I think it should be considered as a recall item Thank you [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Slipping transmission. Hard shifting/slamming into gear. Typically when driving 35-45 mph.

Truck has 66,000 miles and we are going to have to replace the rear differential bearing assembly, gear and pinion. No reason that it should fail in less than 100,000 miles for a heavy duty truck.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH and attempting to accelerate, there was an abnormal clunking sound coming from underneath the vehicle.

Ford has a current recall on their 10R80 transmission, but not all of the vehicles that have this transmission and are experiencing these problems are included? Our vehicle that has this 10R80 transmission is experiencing the same symptoms as explained in Ford's recall but our vin number is not included on their recall list. Our safety is put at risk because it is shifting hard and falls into neutral just as Ford explains in their recall. The vehicle has not been inspected yet because I have been waiting for Ford to notify us of their recall, which they haven't done yet. There has been no warning lamps on concerning this 10R80 transmission issue, but Ford does need to address it on all the vehicles that are experiencing the problems they list in their recall. Please help. Thanks!

Need software update for Transmission and SYNC to 4 or 5 Speed sensor

Truck starting shifting poorly past 30 days. Taken to local Ford dealer with 84,971 miles and was told the entire transmission needed to be replaced due to bad torque converter and metal shavings?

I have a 10 speed automatic transmission. The last month or so, two things have been occurring. 1. A hard shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, usually but not always. 2. Occasionally it will slip from 1st gear to neutral.

We have a 2019 Ford F150 with the 10R80 transmission which gave out on the freeway, it was doing a hard knock when shifting and would make a clicking noise at start up. Heading north on I25, the truck sputtered and you could see white smoke coming out the back end. We were towing a 7x10 trailer and it had fluid spewed all over it. It lost power so we had to pull to the side of the freeway and wait to be towed. There was a lot of fluid leaking from under the truck as well. Had it towed to a shop and they were stumped about what it could be. Had it towed to another shop but a transmission shop and they stated it needed a new transmission, we have the go ahead, and after replacing it, we picked it up and headed home. About a half hour later, the new transmission gave out, the key symbol popped up and it shuddered. Had to have it towed back to the transmission shop. They were stumped as to what happened. We were told they had to consult a national transmission shop and that Ford did not want to replace it with another transmission. The transmissions and engines on these 2019 Ford F150s we have as company vehicles are prone to so many issues that are costly. We have three 2019 F150s, one 2023 F150. So far on one of the 2019, we have had to replace a transmission and engine. The other one had the transmission replaced. The third one is on its way out, there is a rattling sound it makes when it is on its way to failing. How are there so many documentations and Ford is not willing to recall them? Or even meet halfway to repairing them when it is obviously a manufacture defect? A Ford problem? Attached are the receipts showing how much money we dumped into this truck. Mind you, we had the engine replaced in this one too :(

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted and then signaled that the transmission was shifting into second gear; and the contact depresses the brake pedal, and the transmission shifted back into tenth gear. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and was informed by a bystander to put the vehicle in Manufacturer Mode and the contact was able to drive the vehicle to the residence in tenth gear. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that the contact that the warranty was expired. No additional assistance was provided. The contact was advised by the manufacturer to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

Transmission. 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th upshift shuddering and occasionally abrupt downshift from 4th to 1st then back to 4th.

The transmission is falling out of gear at random times including when going up hills or when merging onto the interstate. Other times it revs up and won’t switch at all only to slam into gear. Most problems with shifting occur around the 3rd and 4th gear.

I was driving my vehicle at approximately 70mph and the vehicle suddenly downshifted into a low gear (i believe 1st) causing tires to lockup. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle. Within 5 miles of driving it, the transmission was acting erractic. Was brought to local mechanic and it was determined the transmission is now shot this incident.

Vehicle is Shifting hard and has down shifted to 1st gear on highway. Along with skipping gears.

Rough idling result in Cam phaser and timing belt replacement. While driving the vehicle would accelerate and decelerate on its own making it unsafe to drive. Dealer quoted me $6,095 to replace camp phasers (part #HL2Z-6C590-A)

I am submitting this report regarding a serious safety concern involving the 10R80 automatic transmission in my 2019 Ford F-150. The vehicle experienced a failure of the transmission system, specifically related to a faulty CDF (Clutch Drum F) component, which I believe led to internal fluid loss without visible external leaks, ultimately causing complete transmission failure as supported in TSB 22-2428. The automatic transmission system, specifically the CDF clutch drum assembly, failed. This internal component caused loss of hydraulic pressure and transmission fluid without any external leaks observed. And which I have documentation from a professional automechanic stating there were no signs of the leak on May 5th 2025, as I brought my truck in for routine oil change and tire rotation.. The vehicle is currently sitting up crossroads ford in Sanford and available for inspection upon request. The failure occurred while driving at moderate speed at about 77,000 miles. The truck exhibited delayed engagement, erratic shifting, and eventually became unable to shift properly. This created a significant safety risk as the vehicle hesitated while accelerating from stops, increasing the potential for collisions, especially at intersections or while merging into traffic. Ford has yet to take responsibility for this issue. Regardless of the evidence and current TSB 22-2428. There were absolutely no visible signs of a transmission fluid leak nor warning lamps or lights to let me know. The dealership is trying to say the the transmission failure is due to the low transmission fluid which my warranty would not cover the replacement, however, in my case it was the opposite. The low transmission fluid was a result of the bad CDF drum. Which then fall under warranty. I am currently, presenting my evidence to ford regarding this issue.

Vehicle would stall in between gears. Almost got hit in side. The transmission has shifted rough and hard shift. I took to dealer and the computer was reset at 55,000 miles. I just had to replace transmission at 77,000 miles. The repair cost was $8,059.00 before taxes. I was told 4th and 8th gear the cluthes were out. This seems to be a known problem because the replacement transmission has a different valve body.

Transmission shifts hard and erratic at times. Error code p076f. Tech came out to our house to reprogram the vehicle was told to drive it for 50 to 80 miles for new program to take effect, and if it continued to act erratic take it to the dealer for service. Upon taking it to the dealer and a general check to verify he vehicle still had issues we were told we had to pay a service tech to investigate the issue further and they were certain that the repairs wouldnt be covered under any recall. They also closed out the recall that we had as repaired when it obviously was not. It seems ford has a major issue with all of the recalls I keep seeing pop up in news articles and they are trying to keep from fixing the issue.so much for safety and integrity of building great American vehicles.

The transmission in the vehicle does not match the life of an average vehicle, especially a modern one. Even with good maintenance and driving habits a transmission beginning to fail around 120,000 miles is absurd. With a failing transmission you have no idea what will happen on the road, when the gears slip and you beginning to max out RPMs and it trying to figure it self out, this could easily cause an accident or a fire under the hood putting everyone around you at risk and the warning lamp didn’t appear until after the event . I have been quoted by the dealer for a total transmission replacement at around 12000 dollars which is well over half the value of the vehicle. I know that this has been a recurring issue with many F150s with this transmission and recall on this part needs to happen.

Transmission suddenly failed at highway speeds with no warning forcing an emergency stop on freeway. The vehicle is 6 years old and has only 62,000 miles. The vehicle has received all recommended maintenance which was performed by the Ford Dealer. The vehicle had just received the full 60,000 mile service which includes scheduled service of the transmission. The Failed transmission was deemed a complete loss by the dealer .

The transmission is slipping, skipping gears, and shifting hard. I have a quote for more than 8K dollars to replace it, even though the vehicle only has 65,000 miles. I live in a very small town, and I personally know more than 10 people who are having the same problem or have already had their transmission replaced.

Transmission has sporadic downshifts when traveling at normal posted speed limits also stalling of engine occurs while doing so. The transmission shifting into gears are very hard (Clunky sounds). This has been an issue every since I've owned the truck but happens more frequently within the last 2-3 months.

CAM PHASERS!!!! I have a 2019 Ford F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine which started having cam phaser issues. On cold starts, the engine makes a loud rattling noise for several seconds, and during idle a ticking noise is heard as well. At times the engine runs roughly and loses power briefly when i’m driving it. I’m very concerned because it happened to me while merging into a highway the truck cut power down and I almost caused an accident for not getting up to speed properly, additionally this could lead to the car shutting off on me, or other dangerous situations on the road, other than the long wear and tear that these bad cam phasers have on the engine. I’ve learned that this issue is known to Ford and has been happening for many years, and was addressed for other owners through Customer Satisfaction Programs like the 21N03 and its various supplements, to my knowledge the last one being held in 2022, but my truck is not covered at this time even though it’s a 2019 and has under 70,000 miles. I believe this issue should be investigated further as it is a safety risk to drivers, passengers, and all other vehicles on the road, and Ford should be held accountable, as this issue has been seen around their 3.5 Ecoboost engines and has yet to be fixed. It seems like it’s an ongoing profitable business for them to keep customers paying out of pocket for this $4,000+ job knowing that it’s an issue that many owners have, which is beyond ridiculous on their end. If it’s possible for you guys to take a look at any of their social media platforms, most of the comments on their posts, even if they have nothing to do with this engine, are complaints about not having a Recall for cam phasers on the 3.5 Ecoboost engine. Ford needs to be held accountable for this issue and give more importance to the safety of their customers instead of their parts/service profits!!!!!!

I am experiencing a serious and potentially dangerous issue with the transmission in my 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat equipped with the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission. At highway speeds (65–75 mph), the truck will occasionally downshift abruptly into a much lower gear without any input from the driver. This causes the engine RPMs to spike and creates a sudden deceleration, which could easily lead to a rear-end collision or loss of control.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle had experienced harsh driving and harsh shifting between first and fifth gears. Additionally, the vehicle experiences sudden deceleration while shifting gears. The check engine warning light and the wrench symbol were illuminated, and the transmission temperature gauge was elevated to high. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who reprogrammed the TCM, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 50.

Automatic Transmission does not shift properly. It seems like it goes into neutral in between gears. It did this while I was turning and I was almost struck in the side because truck would not go. It shifts really hard and seems like it’s being put into park. I’ve had software update and truck continues to do same thing.

Driveability Issue - Ford 10R80 10 speed transmission. Turning into traffic (45MPH speed limit) from parking lot, in Drive gear, transmission disengaged, cause motor to rev. Released accelerator pedal, and had to wait for transmission to reengage drive gear. Transmission provides hard upshifts/downshifts. Local dealer technician test drove the vehicle and confirmed complaint. Technician inspected the issue, found no codes indicating an issue, but found that there is a hydraulic circuit leakage and the test of this circuit failed . Vehicle has approximately 57,000 miles on it. Dealers recommended fix is to purchase a new transmission. This issue came close to causing vehicle to be involved in a rear end collision. This should be a manufacturers recall.

Several times the automatic transmission has shifted from tenth gear to first gear while going 65mph plus. On numerous occasions the transmission seems to slip out of gear while driving and has done so while in intersections and while merging into traffic. Both of these issues have happened on multiple occasions.

10 speed Transmission began erratically shifting not sure the cause but the vehicle went from 10th-1st- 10th losing speed and also shaking the whole truck. This happened multiple times and I am told is a common problem specifically with the 10 speed transmission. This was incredibly unsafe on a highway

My 2019 F150 has transmission issues that concern me about the safe operation of my vehicle. The transmission it was built with is a 10R80. Transmission frequently slips and clunks into gear. The main areas of concern are 2-3 clunk 3-4 slip and 6-7 slip. The CDF drum has had NUMEROUS issues on MANY vehicles that have the 10R80 transmission. This has been a very common issue with the 10R80. When is the NHTSA going to force Ford to issue a recall ???? This has happened with too many vehicles with a 10r80 transmission to not warrant a recall. I entered 3/04/25 as a date this occurred but it is still ongoing.

Driving highway speed (70mph) and vehicle suddenly drops speed to (25mph) and running at 5000rpm and loses all forward drive speed while pressing on the gas pedal. Pulled over and turned off truck and tried to restart it and it took over 15 seconds for the power start to start the engine after pushing the start button, still had no power to accelerate after placing it in drive. My Ford App sends an alert code reading Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power. Towed to dealership to get looked at under purchase warranty agreement. This could have caused a major accident if there would have been more traffic on the highway at the time causing major injuries and/or death, this needs to be investigated what is causing this issue. There are a lot of forums on the internet for 2019-2023 F150 having this same issue reporting/regarding “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power”, don’t know if anyone else has had it happen while driving at highway speeds or not though haven’t looked through everyone of them.

Jerks and shutters while trying to accelerate. Was told that the transmission is bad and would cost $8,000 minimum to repair.

Ford issued a TSB 22-2428, May 26, 2023 and not a recall for defective transmission. I own a 2019 F150 that with the 10 speed transmission. Over my warranted period the truck was taken to the dealership over 21 times regarding shifting problem. Ford said there is nothing wrong with the transmission that is just how they shift. Now 2025 I told the truck back to dealership with this TSB paper. The tech said yes, this whole transmission needs replaced so they contacted Ford and so did I. Ford told me the truck is out of warranty and I would have to replace the transmission at my expense. After explaining to Ford this truck was taken in under warranty and they failed to address the transmission and told me it was find to come and find out I was lied to like many other that there was a defects in these transmissions. Ford told me, were sorry but we wont pay for the transmission to be replaced even though they put defective 10 speed transmissions in my truck and failed to address it over the 21 time I took it to the dealership under warranty. Ford has lie about this 10 speed transmission over and over to all its customer, and issued a TSB instead of a recall so now they can make the customer pay again to have a defected transmission that shouldn't have been defective from the beginning. Make Ford issues a recall on this matter and stop letting them get away with a simple TSB since Ford knows the owner are out of warranty.

Transmission randomly shifts from 10th gear to 1st. This puts my life and other peoples life’s at risk. This also will destroy the engine and transmission over time

Transmission clunks when upshifting after going uphill onto level surface, when accelerating after briefly slowing transmission makes noticeable clunking noise. Dealer checked this issue in 2024 but did not find any issues with the transmission. This issue with the transmission has gotten worse since the visit to the dealership to address the complaint. There have never been any warning lights that indicated a problem. There is now a slight hesitation when upshifting which I feel will only get worse over time.

Vehicle changes gear from 10-1 at highway speeds, transmission begins to overheat, looses power when going from 1st gear to third gear after a stop at a light or stop 🛑 sign. I’ve had several near miss accidents in the past month. Ford will not offer any assistance or fix the problem for a vehicle with 104,000

Driving at 45mph and 55 mph the trucks transmission gets confused on which gear to be in and up shifts then down shifts back and forth then downshifts 2 gears and locks up the rear wheels and causes a uncontrollable lock up and skid

Issues with transmission hard clunking and or shifting between certain gears. Dealer has inspected transmission, and they confirmed issue. They reset the PCM on the transmission and has not corrected the problem. They recommend rebuild of transmission. No warning lamps.

2019 F-150 experienced harsh shifting between gears causing a severe jerking. The truck also would experience delayed shifts causing loss of ability to accelerate in intersections. On the highway, the vehicle sometimes down shifted unexpectedly from 10th gear to 1st gear causing the truck to lose power slowing to dangerous speeds on a highway. The truck would display "Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power" alert. Vehicle experienced this malfunction multiple times and is now currently at the dealership for repairs since 03/26/25. Dealership diagnosed the problem as a failed transmission.

The Transmission clunks through gears, bangs into reverse at times when backing up but the worst is backing out into the road and wont move . 3 times this has happened, and its dangerous! Ford knows the transmissions are a huge problem but makes people pay up to 6000 dollars to make repairs. For what people pay for a truck this is unacceptable. 2019 with 85,000 miles should not have these issues but everyone has the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving between fourth and fifth gear, the vehicle experienced hard transmission shifts. The contact stated that the failure increased progressively while driving.

Transmission issues. Sporatically, a wrench would appear on the dash board. (Usually when it was heated.) When accelerating, the truck would stall, safety, yes was a problem. it would shift with a kick back and the engine would reve up, then maybe shift or just stall. the cabin would smell of burnt gas.

The transmission shifts hard and delays when shifting gears. It slips and loses power which shifts hard. Also have o2 sensor issues

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly jolted and jerked, and displayed symptoms consistent with transmission failure. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 90,000.

I've been having problems with the power train on the F150 10 speed transmission. There are times that the vehicle loses power and the engine speed drops to nearly zero. This has happened on several occasions while I'm driving into an intersection, or ongoing lane. The unexpected loss of acceleration is extremely dangerous as the oncoming vehicles aren't expecting my vehicle to come to a stop. I believe Ford is aware of this problem, yet nothing is being done to alleviate the issue. It can be an expensive repair. They would have to replace the PCM module and reprogram the vehicles electronics. They have offered up alternative fixes, but none of them seem to work and the alternative fix can be expensive to the consumer. The problem started far in advance before my warranty ran out and yet Ford would deny the problem and I couldn't get any Ford dealer to remedy the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I Have a 2019 ford 150 3.5 eco boost with a 10 speed transmission. I will be driving along with no issues with the vehichle shifting and then all of the sudden it will shift hard, jerk, clunk make noises I have no warning lights or check engine lights, I went to a local parts store and they said that a bad coil pack could cause this issue, however I have brand new coil packs and plugs and the pickup is firing in order. I then had taken it to a local transmission place and they had told me that this transmission should be recalled and possibly needs a software update. Is this something I should pay for if it going to keep happening or should a ford dealership be liable?

Transmission would not engage after stopping at stop sign. Initially accelerated to go thru intersection and truck would not engage any gears and was stuck in the middle of the intersection. Switched gear shift to several gears and drive modes and finally engaged in manual shift. Transmission continued to slip and switch to several gears and skip several gears until arriving at destinations regular drive gear selection. Did not see any issues under the vehicle after parking and fluids appear to be clean and filled up to normal levels. Made appointment immediately for service.

I was driving on the highway at 80mph with the truck in 10th gear and it downshifted to 1st gear and would not shift back to 10th and slowed down rapidly. This problem is since repeating and now unable to be driven.

Was driving at highway speeds when transmission unexpectedly shifted from 10th gear into first gear. It lurched the truck back hard, almost losing control. Speed was decreased and then brought back to 70mph. This is then when the truck shifted back from first into 10th held at 10th for a little bit and then did it again shifting from 10th into 1st lurching the truck back. The service light from the transmission came on after this. I pulled over and looked under the truck and saw it leaking transmission fluid. I then turned the truck off and on and put it back into gear and tried reverse, it didn’t go into reverse so I tuned it off and on again and reverse came back. I had the truck towed to a dealership where they inspected the transmission and replaced parts in it. After being there for 2 months waiting on the parts I finally got it back. I know Ford has had investigations in the past for the 6 speeds transmissions unexpectedly shifting. And I now know they’re being investigated again for newer models in the 6 and 10 speed transmissions.

10 speed power train down shifts when trying to increase in speed. throw me almost into windshield. The Purvis ford would not even take it in to fix it. had to take it in a transmission shop at cost 8K for new power train. they claim they seen hundreds of the 10 speed in for repair.

Truck was going down the highway at 75mph when the transmission went from 10th gear to 1st. I have videos of this happening several times and then eventually a gear symbol appeared on dash. From day 1 when I bought the truck new it would have a hard time shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. It would lung forward or not even shift and the truck would just roll forward trying to figure out what gear it is in. I've taken the truck in to multiple dealers and all they would ever do is reset the computer. Once I took the truck in for the 10th to 1st gear issue. I told the new dealership I went to about the 3 and 4 issue. The service advisor said his trcuk had the same issue and he was able to get it fixed under warranty but I was already out of the warranty so they couldn't do anything about the 3 and 4 issue. For the shifting from 10 to 1. They rebuilt the transmission and put some locking device to keep fluid flowing into the case. Since the repair that I had to pay out of pocket for. I still have the 3 and 4 shifting problem. Only happens on cold starts when I'm accelerating up or down a hill. The new issue I'm now having is a hard shifting into reverse. Ford keeps telling me I don't qualify for any reimbursement because I'm outside of the warranty limit, even though, the truck every time I took into a Ford dealership for oil changes, I would complain about the transmission and they would just say it's a known issue but nothing they can do about it. Also after the transmission rebuilt, about 2,000 miles after, driving on the freeway, smoke was billowing out of the bed and transmission fluid was leaking out of the case all underneath the truck. The truck was towed back to dealership and they just said it was filled with too much transmission fluid.

Vehicle will downshift from 10th gear to 1st gear at highway speeds. Vehicle lunges forward after stoplight restarts. 3rd to 4th and 9th to 10th gear shifts are extremely delayed and transmission slips during shifts. Transmission makes very loud noises and clunks when driven. Transmission lags and delays when going into reverse.

The truck periodically has hard upshifts and downshifts. This has occurred several times a month over the last 5 years.

During acceleration the transmission will fail to engage during different gear changes. The motor will high rev as it is a failed transmission shift which, it is just that.

Transmission rebuild at 58000 miles

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 - 70 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly shifted into reverse. There was white smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle near the engine compartment. The contact depressed the brake pedal to assist with the vehicle slowing down to be able to pull over to the side of the road where the vehicle came to a stop. The vehicle lost power and failed to restart. The contact poured water onto the engine to assist with dissipating the smoke and cooling the engine. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle; however, the contact was unsure of the diagnostic results. The contact was informed that additional diagnostic tests were needed. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.

Mileage: 125,000

I bought pre owned 2019 f150 5.0 with the 10 speed transmission. The truck didn’t even make it home from the dealer. Transmission was leaking fluid and lights came on. Shift would go from 10th to 1st gear.

Very hard shifting into 4th, 7th and 8th gear. Will shift randomly into lower gears. Every time vehicle goes to Ford they state the transmission is fine. Transmission has had issue with rough shifting since truck was purchased.

My transmission has been in the shop at Ford four times. It’s clunking between gears. They can’t seem to fix the issue.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Transmission hard shifting, delays in up shifting into 3rd creates vehicle jerk on occasion.Also skips gears. Not available for inspection How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? High rpm shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear on hills causing jerks Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

When coasting from approximately 30 to 20 mph vehicle will hard downshift from gears 4,3, 2. On the highway, when I need to accelerate to avoid other vehicles that are driving unsafe I will step on the accelerator and transmission will hesitate. Has been more than one occasion when transmission has hestited, hard shifted to different level and has at one occasion randomly shifted to first gear before jumping back to 8th. This appears to be a common issue with Ford's 10R80 transmissions.

Unexpected gear downshift, gears slamming into gear, gears not shifting properly

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted from tenth gear to third gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, the vehicle was shifted into park and back to drive and the vehicle drove; however, the vehicle was not driving smoothly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a weak and low battery. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. On another occasion, the vehicle started stalling and downshifted unexpectedly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer again however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

Mileage: 53,000

Unexpected down shifting and loss of what gear to be in.

When in drive at any speed the transmission slips and/or jerks as it's switching gears. It is "sluggish" gaining speed at this time especially when accelerating from a stopped position making it dangerous to enter traffic. You never know if when it's going to happen. We have taken this vehicle several times checking for a recall and told there isn't one and it'll cost us thousands to fix. This started occuring less than 1 year after purchasing.

10R80 Transmission downshift from 4-3 hard. Put in reverse hesitate then hard engagement.

My transmission experienced the same issue that has affected millions of trucks. The transmission started downshifting from 10th to 1st gear while driving. I had it inspected at my local dealer and they informed me that it was a common issue with the clutch drum sleeve. It just cost me $6200.00 dollars to have it fixed. I only had 86,000 miles on the truck. I dont know how thete is not a recall on this, it's dangerous , if I was on the highway this could have caused me to cause and accident either die or get severely injured myself or even other drivers. Please look into this, this issue is beyond ridiculous and dangerous.

Transmission overheated and started sporadically shifting out of nowhere. Going 70mph on the highway in 10th gear and suddenly downshifted to 3rd gear then back to 8th then to 5th then 1st and back to 8th. Truck jerked all around and took all i had to keep it on the road and pull over in a safe manner. Had an independent mechanic come look at it where i pulled over at. He couldn't find any issues. Took it to a local ford dealer afterwards and had them look it over as well and again, they couldn't find any issues.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while shifting from third to fourth gear and while downshifting from fourth to third gear, the rear wheels would lock up without warning. The contact stated that the failure occurred mostly while driving between 20-35 MPH, and normally in stop-and-go traffic. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Mileage: 70,000

Transmission had hard shifts, sticking gears and sudden down shifts. Multiple times the vehicle had gotten stuck in 7th gear. Vehicle had hard shift and delayed shifting while accelerating. On one occasion the vehicle suddenly shifted from 4th gear to 2nd while accelerating. Vehicle is currently in shop due to the danger of driving. These issues have almost caused multiple accidents. We are told we need a new transmission and there are only about 72,000 miles on it.

Had a problem with hard shifting and up and down shifting out of the blue while driving on interstate. Ford recommended a trans service. Had it done 3 days before trip to NC. For Christmas. On our way home the truck started a hard back and forth up and down shifting. We pulled off highway and found trans fluid everywhere. I could not find a leak. Called and got a tow the next morning to a ford dealer in Georgia. Found trans was overfilled. Made it home but trans is still shifting hard and goes into neutral while driving down the road. You need to recall all these 10 speed trans. I was quoted 7,000 dollars for an overhaul and told I may still have the same issue sooner than later.

Driving down the freeway at 80 MPH with my cruise control set at 80 MPH when my truck suddenly shifted from 10th gear down to first.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH on a country road, the transmission failed to shift as needed. The transmission shifted into the fourth gear, then to the eighth gear. The shifter became stuck in fourth gear. The vehicle jerked and hesitated and shifted into neutral without driver input. The message to see the Owner’s Manual light was illuminated but turned on and off. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who informed the contact that it was a characteristic of the transmission and not a failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. While driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. Additionally, there were metal shavings in the clutch fluid. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000. The VIN was not available.

Mileage: 78,000

On several occasions since I bought the truck new it has experienced hard transmission downshifts for no reason. Had the truck to Ford and they couldn't replicate the problem so nothing was done to fix it.

The vehicle while driving at all speeds is exhibiting harsh/delayed engagement and/or harsh/delayed shifting. i have completed the recommended service of the software update to the PCM however the vehicle continues to have harsh engagement, delayed engagement, harsh shifting and delayed shifting.

I have a 2019 f-150 Platinum . Bought it 4 months ago and I've put about 9,000 miles on it and the transmission is going out from what the dealer told me. I bought it from the same dealer that told me what's wrong with it. It shuts off in the middle of changing gears while driving down the road. It's happened 4 times. It's very unsafe. The service department at the dealership said something's going on with the admissions that could cuase it to vaper-lock shut down. They estimated the job to cost eight thousand dollars, which I don't have. It had139,000 when I bought it frome them

10 speed has harsh and delayed shifts. The delayed shifts has caused to vehicle to stall in traffic, unable to accelerate.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH on two occasions, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to 1st gear and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of road and turned off. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted within an hour and drove normally to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.

Mileage: 118,000

The transmission over revs between 3rd and 4th gear. It hesitates then loses power, then slams into the next gear. Once in 10th gear it hesitates when trying to pass other vehicles. When decending hills it quickly jumps to second gear causing the wheels to skip or bounce for a few seconds. When merging onto the highway the hesitation nearly got me rearended. The transmission shop is updating the software and changing the fluid. He said most of these need rebuilt when this happens. Ford told me its a new type of transmission and that I will "get use to it". Repair or replacement is anywhere from $4,000 to $9,000, yet ford keeps selling this defective product. There are no indicator / warning lights.

Cam Phaser and Timing Chain Failures in 5.0 V8 engine cause engine failure if not repaired. Engine failure potentially puts myself and/or my family stranded on the side of the road. This problem has been repaired one time approximately 30k miles ago and has returned. No check engine light related to this failure.

this is a Ford F150 2019, 3.5 L, 10 speed transmission, while driving on a highway, the vehicle was on the 10th gear with a speed of around 70 Miles per hour and suddenly shifted to the first gear with a sudden drop in speed, that have caused me to almost go through the windshield, and the vehicle behind me almost rear ended me, I spoke to the dealer and they advised me not to drive it due to safety concerns that has been reported to them on multiple occasions, and after I gave then the VIN they stated it has not be recalled yet, I took it to the dealer and after 2 months of back and forth with the Ford dealer and Ford motor company, the problem was the transmission and it is in the process for it to be replaced. prior to this incident, the shifting gear was bouncing between gears and lagging for few weeks prior.

The truck has a 10 speed transmission it randomly shift gears and something the truck will not accelerate and jump from 1st to 5 or 4th and when going down the highway goes from 10th gear to 1st gear.i was told by Ford to report this. That is a recall for this issue but my truck was not issued one.

Unexplained downshifting

1st safety problem is while accelerating, there is a rough shift in gears despite being an automatic transmission. While attempting to gradually and safely accelerate, vehicle causes an abrupt deceleration where rpms drop and vehicle occupants are thrown forward during the process. Vehicle was brought to Ford Dealership for repair. They noted a known issue with transmission and completed a software restart/update. Vehicle gear shift improved slightly for short period of time but eventually resumed and is noticeably worse in colder months. This problem has been noticed while turning, resulting in near misses with oncoming traffic and is concerning when entering/merging with traffic at highway speeds. There were no dashboard warning light indicators at any point. Battery was in good condition. 2nd concern: Engine fire ups up on start but stalls while idling when shifting out of park as well as in stopped traffic. "Auto startstop, shift to P, then restart engine" notification presents on gauge display. This requires multiple attempts to get vehicle restarted with following notification instructions and shutting off/restarting engine. Disengaging auto startstop on startup is inconclusive about remedying the situation. Battery was tested as good but replaced anyway due to age to rule out battery related concerns. Contacted Ford dealership service department and they replied, "they have never heard of it happening." They denied knowledge of any TSB, CSP or recalls/complaints about the issue. However, it appears this issue is well documented on multiple Ford models and various production years. Other than instrument/gauge display of "Auto startstop, shift to P, then restart engine" occurring after the fact, there is no warning light indicators. Safety is at risk due to stoppage of traffic and loss of power/ability to accelerate or maneuver vehicle in traffic situations to include clearing intersections with oncoming traffic while turning at low speeds/idling.

Transmission is slipping. Into 3/4 & 7/8

Transmission holds shifts and shifts erratically. Vehicle will stall and not excellerate leading to dangerous situations. CDF drum failure.

Transmission shifting drags out in some gears and shifts very hard, and slips at times. The truck has died while shifting three time on the highway, once in heavy traffic. The gear indicator has went from 10th gear to 1st gear while slipping on the freeway.

My 2019 Ford F150 XLT, began having transmission issues in June of 2024 around the same time the cam phasers failed in the engine (~57K miles). Because the cam phaser failure was the more pressing and unavoidable issue, the dealership focused on the cam phaser repair and ignored my complaints about the transmission shifting hard between 2nd and 4th gear. Within that same month I also had the transmission fluid flushed ~40K miles before recommendation to see if that would resolve the hard and inconsistent shifting issue. It did not, and the dealer stated they could not replicate the problem. Unfortunately the problem became worse, including inconsistent shifting between multiple gears, the transmission "stalling" while it tried to determine which gear to shift to, along with extremely hard "whiplash-like" shifting into gears. These driving conditions resulted in me almost being rear ended several times while trying to enter onto the interstate as cars were accelerating behind me on the on-ramp, while my truck begins a quick deceleration due to missing gears, downshifting and even spinning in a "neutral-like" state while it tries to figure out what gear to shift into. After a couple more visits to the dealership, in which their scanners could not replicate my issues, I was sent on my way to keep driving an unsafe vehicle until either it caused an accident or my transmission completely failed. Fortunately for others, it was the latter situation in which my transmission failed (1st time a warning light appeared) in a hospital parking garage on March 6, 2025, versus me causing an accident. However, all of this could have been avoided if Ford and my local dealership addressed the known issues with the 10R80 10-speed transmission in the 2017-2020 Ford F150 and many other models. The $13K repair bill now that Ford pushed me beyond my powertrain warranty aside, this Ford transmission is EXTREMELY dangerous to the driver and the general public.

The 10 speed transmission failed at 30k miles and they replaced it. Now at 70k it is failing again. It is available for inspection now. My families safety was at risk when the shifting fails while crossing an intersection or when violently downshifting while cruising at 40mph. The problem has been reproduced by the dealer. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than Ford dealership and my mechanic. At 70k there have been no warning lights or messages displayed on the console.

I have a 2019 f150, 5.0 w/ 10r80 trans. The vehicle will slip from 7 gear to 1st. 10th to 2nd, and some times just finds itself in neutral with no propelling motion. This happens. While driving, when taking off from a stop. Causing hard jerking and extreme discomfort to me and my passengers. Ford says no recall and to replace the trans. Seeing 100s and f complaints (I’m sure it would be more of people understood hot to report) and NHTSA says they don’t see an issue or need for a recall is unacceptable. Does it take a major accident or someone to get hurt from FORDs outright disregard to fix the issue. Built ford tough is long gone and forgotten. NHTSA is now letting down the consumer, and the people on the road for the disregard for safety and holding these car manufacturers accountable. Do better, recall the 10r80 and make ford pay. Or is ford paying the NHTSA to disregard this multi million dollar fix.

A year ago we took our Truck in because it was knocking, we were told it was dry starting and they had to repair it, it was 5200. A couple weeks ago we’re driving and it started shifting funny and jerking, had no get up and go, we limped to the nearest dealership. Told our transmission went out and it will cost 11k.

Vehicle shuts off randomly when the StopStart feature is disabled/turned off via button in dashboard. The instrument panel displays message on dash saying: “Auto StopStart, Manual Restart, Required” And “Auto StopStart, Shift to P, Then Restart engine” This often happens in the middle of an intersection where I risk being hit by another vehicle. This has happened on multiple occasions. Dealership was unable to recreate problem so unfortunately nothing was repaired. There are many online forums discussing this very same problem.

The 10R80 transmission on a 2019 F150, with 56,000miles failed on multiple times. It would slip out of gear especially in the lower gears. It has even shifted from 10/9 gear into neutral and then back into 4 gear and stall on the highway. The transmission , make noise, grinds through t the gears all the time. The engine warring lights are on. The vehicle is unsafe to drive with transmission failure and stalling in intersections, while passing and even shifted to low gears or neutral while driving on the highway at 65+ mph. Additionally it causes the engine to race at a high rate of speed or quit. The vehicle is currently at the local Ford Dealer,. The vehicle has been assessed and problem has been identified. The recommended bulletin actions completed. The repairs failed and the vehicle returned due to its unsafe condition. Dealer still has the vehicle and recommended that the transmission be replaced. Dealer filled a claim with my Extended Warranty, who is aware of the problem.

Transmission slips and misses gears so bad it has almost caused 3 accidents in the last month. Ford knows of this problem with the 10r80 transmission but will not fix the problem. I've contacted ford and they say there is no recall for my truck.

My transmission suffered the CDF drum failure which resulted in it downshifting into first gear while doing over 55 mph. The failure was confirmed by the Ford Dealership after taking it in. The truck now needs a $9000 transmission replacement to replace the drum and clutches that were destroyed.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

Mileage: 57,000

Faulty transmission

The transmission has been slipping on multiple occasions between 3rd and 4th gear, changing gears very harshly and sometimes forcing the vehicle to speed up rapidly and unexpectedly. It has also caused the vehicle to slow down rapidly, trying to find a certain gear then shifting back down to 1st gear randomly while driving in traffic. I barely have 70,000 miles on the truck.

Hard up shifting and downshifting. When rapid deceleration at highway speeds transmission harshly downshifted and caused rear tires to skid during icy conditions. Hard/erratic down shifting conditions during icy conditions caused rear end to break loose during uphill climbs. Truck would downshift with loud clunk and drop from 9th gear into 4th or 5th gear and jump RPMs to 3k or more and then shift back to normal over drive gears. Truck is current on ford 23-2250 TSB

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while reversing, there was an abnormally loud thumping sound coming from the transmission, with the RPM increasing abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the vehicle failed to properly shift from first, to second, or third gear, and abruptly shifted into fourth gear. The contact stated that the transmission briefly lost power, before slamming into gear. The contact stated that the failure had become a persistent failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

I leased a new 2019 Ford f150 xlt sport package in the fall of 2019. During the first year, I experienced some "choking" of the engine when I would accelerate. Nothing big, but noticeable. I mentioned this experience to the dealer at regular checkups and they informed me that it was "normal" and that if anything was wrong, the computerized monitoring system on the truck would identify the problem. I bought the truck after a 36 month lease. The choking continued to be a regular occurance, especially for the first few miles of a new drive. Around 30k miles, I noticed the issue getting more pronounced. I again asked the dealer about it and they provided me the same answer as before and didn't offer to explore the issue. Between 30K and 50K miles, the issue became more frequent and would impact the truck whether it was warm or cold. But now I experienced a hard shift between 1-3 gears and sometime 3-5-- jerking and slowing and struggling to move to the next gear. It will also bog down at times when changing into the higher gears with no telling when this would occur. Again, I asked the dealer about it, and becuase there was no safety light, they wouldn't do a thing. Over the past month or two, at over 50K miles, the frequency was several times on every drive. It started to jump from 8-1 and back up to 8. It would jerk and slow in high traffic situations, and finally it just would not move into gear at a stop sign at rush hour. I had to drop it into low gears and move to the side of the road after 10 minutes of stoppage; then the check engine indicator finally flashed, after an incident that could have caused harm to me or others. I slowly drove it to my destination. Since then, I have not allowed anyone to drive the truck because it is dangerous to operate. I took the truck to the dealer and they informed me that it needs a new transmission which will be ~$5k

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the transmission malfunctioned and the vehicle would not properly shift from first to, second and third gear, and abruptly shifted into fourth gear. Later, while driving, the transmission failed to shift properly, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the local mechanic. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 94,000.

This truck still 50.000 miles but transmission failed this is unbelievable Ford should cover it there is tons of people complaining the same issue

I own a 2019 Ford F150 in mid 2023 I noticed my truck would jerk when 1st starting out. Ford said it was normal for the type of transmission that it has a 10 speed .. fast forward Feb 2025 starting hearing this thumping noise underneath when getting to speed at 50 mph or higher and within a week dropped the truck off to be told transmission has to be replaced that all components are no good so can't be rebuilt. Seeing there is an class action lawsuit for this same transmission in Illinois.

My 2019 F150 is equipped with the 10speed transmission and as I see recalls for the same issue I do not have one for my vehicle. The transmission is jumping gears, hard knock/shift into gear and at times refuses to go into gear at acceleration

During normal operation, the truck 2019 (F150) with 70,000 miles transmission (10R80) shifts through gears erratically, sometimes goes into neutral unexpectedly and motor revs up transmission engages, truck lunges forward hard causing whiplash. A orange warning light is displayed in the shape of a wrench in the dash display. This warning light says to see manual. The final result was transmission failure and taken to FORD dealer

Have a 2019 Ford F-150 that began having hesitation issues at approximately in late 2023. Hesitation issues began occuring when the vehicle would sit for hours, then being started and allowed to warm for 2 to 4 minutes before putting it into gear. Once put into gear the vehicle would hesitate, then slip into gear, then seemed to slip into neutral and back into gear. At first the hesitation was very slight and seemed to occur more on inclines than flat surface. By mid 2024 the hesitation became more like a slight bucking and then slip into neutral for several seconds before slipping into gear. This caused safety issues when taking off from intersections and merging into traffic as the vehicle was unable to maintain acceleration and gain the necessary speed to merge, causing other vehicles behind to immediately slow or slam their foot on the brake. When taking off from a stop, the vehicle would slip into neutral, causing the rpms to rev to 6k + and then slipping back into gear, causing the wheels to immediatly spin faster and "spin out", then the vehicle would begin gaining speed but still experience hesitation for off and off for several minutes. Took the vehicle to a friend who is a retired Ford Service Manager who "guessed" that the problem was an EBT and sent me to the local Ford Dealer for proper diagnosis. The service tech at Ford called and said the truck needed a new transmission but at first did not explain why. While the vehicle was at the dealership getting a new transmission, we asked Ford about the transmission recall and he explained there wasn't one and then explained that the issue with our transmission was the CFD Drum. The service receipt we received from Ford at time of payment does not explain the reason for the transmission failure..just the retired service manager's guess. The mileage on the vehicle when the issue began was approximately 75k. The mileage at replacement was 88k.

Truck transmissions slams in 2nd and 7th gear causing truck to jerk losing control in wet conditions. It gets worst when put in wet / snow setting. It has also loss gear while trucks rpms increased. Causing no forward momentum when pulling out into traffic. Causing traffic problems. Almost hit twice. Reported to Dave Smith ford 4045 transit road williamsville ny 14221.

Transmission fail at 81,000 miles ..need new transmission .. 10R80 model have issues with CDF drum ,outer shell, valve bodies, torques converter and gear driven pump issues . It is a known issue but will not address the costly repair cost to consumer .

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally loud thumping sound coming from the transmission before the transmission seized in fourth gear. Additionally, the RPM increased with an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had become a persistent failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

Evidently there is a problem with the CDF clutch cylinder. There is a bushing that will slip and can cause delayed or rough transitioning into gears. This is on the 10R80 transmission according Ford. We had no idea of this issue till we brought our truck in to Ford to have the system flushed. Which then the service tech asked had we had any issues and we said it has a delay when shifting into gears sometimes as well as when we put it in reverse it seems like it doesn't fully engage and and then when it does engage it is like a jolt and the truck goes at a faster pace since we was pressing the gas thinking we did not give it enough gas to go into reverse. Multiple times my wife has said that it does this when she is backing out of our driveway into the road also while she is backing out of her parking space at school. What is bad is there are no warning lights on the truck for this issue. There are multiple recalls on this transmission that involve updating the computer settings for the trasmission but the real issue is they have not done a recall for this issue which would stop the bushing from sliding causing the delayed/harsh shifts. Since this is an engineering design issue and potential Hazzard while drive this should be a manufacture recall. Ford has already resigned the cylinder in 2022 to address this issue but anything manufactured before that is suppect.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that when the vehicle was initially purchased, the vehicle drove rough. The contact stated that recently while driving 74 MPH on the highway, the vehicle lost motive power. The wrench light illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle was downshifting hard, with a clunking sound while driving 50 MPH. The vehicle was driven for 5 miles and then turned off. The contact then restarted the vehicle and drove to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure, and metal shavings inside the oil pan. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not made aware of the issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the power train warning light had illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while her husband was driving 65-70 MPH on a mountainous road while the contact was occupying the front passenger's side seat, the transmission was stuck in a gear. The contact stated that her husband informed her that upon depressing an unknown pedal, the pedal was stiff and failed to travel down. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle started swerving, and the vehicle nearly swerved off the road. The contact's husband was able to regain control of the vehicle. The contact's husband was able to pull to the side of the road. The power train warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to AutoZone, where the contact was informed that the failure was related to the ten-speed transmission. The contact stated that upon restarting the vehicle, the power train warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a transmission CAD drum defect. The dealer informed the contact that it was a factory defect. The dealer determined that the transmission needed to be taken apart to replace the CAD drum, or the entire transmission needed to be replaced with a new transmission that did not have the factory defect. The dealer notified the manufacturer of the failure, but the manufacturer offered minimal assistance in covering the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to Ford TSB Number: 22-2428. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

I had trasmission replaced and am still having problems with new transmissions. Won't shift gears, especially on highway. Will go from 10 to 1 or jump around.

Had new transmission for a little over a month still shifts bad. Same thing as orignal transmission.

Transmission failure. The transmission skips gears when accelerating. Which is especially not good when you are trying to merge into traffic and the vehicle lurches you as it skips gears. Had it diagnosed at the Ford Dealership and they are saying the truck needs an entire new transmission. Skipping in 2nd-3rd gear and while driving in 10th gear it will drop. We purchased this vehicle used and it now has 103k miles on it. Because we are over a 100k Ford will not help us replace the transmission. I am not sure why there is no recall when this is a reported issue (that I wish I knew of before purchasing the truck).

Traveling at 75 MPH with cruise control on the transmission shifted into 1st gear. I slowed down and reset the cruise control to 65MPH. A couple of minutes later the transmission again shifted into 1st gear. This happened after driving for about an hour. There is no recall on my F-150. WHY NOT? Thank you for your help.

Intermittent hard, delayed shifting, and a high-speed stumble. Sometimes coming out of 3d under a moderate acceleration, it feels like someone stabs and releases the brakes hard enough to lock the seat belt retractor.

The vehicle shifted from drive to neutral by itself while driving at high speeds on an expressway, unable to accelerate for a short period of time, and then shifted back to gear by itself with the driver almost losing control of the vehicle. At low speeds, several times, the vehicle also shifted erratically between gears, such 1 to 4, 7 to 2 and then back 6 etc.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that whenever the transmission was shifting between 3rd to 4th and 9th to 10th gear, there was a lag while upshifting. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate while idling, and while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated before accelerating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.

The truck delays with automatic shifting and stalls. It will go from 10th down to 1st. This is extremely dangerous and we were quoted 7,000 for repairs. It's a 2019 with 60,000 miles! It should NOT be doing this.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while running cold, and warming up, the vehicle failed to shift into first gear without jerking after making several attempts. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the transmission might fail between 50,000 and 100,000 due to a faulty plate. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the common failure due to parts not being available. The contact stated that several dealers and transmission shops were contacted about purchasing the part for the repair. The failure had gotten worse, and the transmission failed to shift into gear intermittently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

Transmission failure which resulted in significant loss of power when shifting gears while pulling onto a major road. This caused the vehicle to stall which could have resulted in multi car accident as well as harm to those in vehicle(s). Additionally, there have been multiple hard shifts when accelerating as well as loss or skipping of gears when traveling on the interstate. This has also happened from a stop when turning at intersections, with the transmission falling out of gear completely while driving, causing an unexpected loss of power in traffic. There were no check engine or warning lights prior to these incidents happening. The vehicle has been inspected by a Ford dealership who confirmed a new transmission was necessary and said this model is a design flaw and there are known issues with this particular transmission. The check engine light will randomly come on then go away. Fortunately it had come on the way to the dealer for inspection so they pulled the truck right back and ran diagnostics.

10R80 transmission is failing for the second time since vehicle was purchased new (special order) from Ford Motor Company. Once at 36,000 miles and again at 75,000 miles. Based upon information and belief the CDF drum is to blame. Among other commonly exhibited issues the transmission is randomly and unexpectedly failing to move the vehicle when in traffic, when trying to merge into traffic, and when trying to safely navigate an intersection ... creating a hazardous condition for myself and other motorists. With so many 2018+ F150 vehicles having the same transmission issue, when is NHTSA going to do something about it?!

When pressing the gas pedal to accelerate , the truck will not accelerate rather it begins to rev the engine loudly (as if the gas pedal was being pushed while the truck is in neutral) the RPM shoots high to 6-7 (again the truck isn’t accelerating any faster just loudly revving,) then the truck jolts as if it has just been rear ended. The shifting is stuttering staying stuck in 3rd and 4th gear severing going back to 1 even at a stop. Vehicle messaging alerted 1/10/25 powertrain malfunction /reduced power . However this issues has been going on and Ford Said it was related to a 4x4 control module which was replaced and yet the issues continue. Brought it back to ford because the problem was not fixed and they are asking for payment of additional diagnostic testing and NOW saying it’s a transmission issue AFTER saying it was issue with the control module unit. Work was completed 10/2024 at Ford

Fords 10R80 transmission has had known issues that are safety defeats and for years Ford has lied to me that there is nothing wrong with the 10R80 transmission. That they were " Characteristic of the transmission" to avoid fixing the problem under warranty. May 26 2023 Ford released a TSB acknowledging the known issues with the 10R80. (TSB 22-2428 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT Automatic Transmission - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift - Built On Or Before 23-Dec-2022) But as Ford is aware most vehicles are out of Factory Warranty and many lost the whole year of warranty because of the lock down of 2020 ( which Ford didn't give us credit for) so the repair was issued as a TSB then a recall to avoid paying for this repair. The repair is around $7000.00 and Ford now expects customer to pay half to all of this repair for defective and unsafe parts they failed to address when these vehicles were under factory warranty. My vehicle alone was in and out of dealership over 18 time regarding all of these transmission issues like many others. This need to be a recall not a TSB, and Ford needs to address this issues on they dime, not the consumer they lied to for years about this problem.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving on a residential street at 15 MPH, the transmission began to shudder and stalled. The power train warning light was illuminated. The contact proceeded to pull over onto the side of the road to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, the contact was advised that a leak in the CDF Drum was responsible for the gears not shifting properly and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

The Transmission failed. Before the mechanical light went on. As I was driving the vehicle it was having issues switching gears. And at times would loose power and then rev up and speed up. Loss of power and speeding up is a dangerous and frightening situation in a vehicle going at any speed and even more so while traveling on a highway. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Ford dealership. In speaking with the service manager they recommended replacing the transmission due to the error codes that were produced in the computer. They stated that this was a common issue in this make and model and a replacement would be the best option to avoid future issues. And after researching the issue online there are many people having this same issue. It’s a $10,000 fix and FORD is aware of it and yet there still is no recall on the failure in these transmissions!! Error codes P2703; P2705; P0767

The contact owned a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission was skipping between the 4th, 7th, and 8th gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was jerking and lurching forward significantly. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times; however, the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated while accelerating from a complete stop and making a turn, the vehicle failed to respond as needed and rolled to a stop in the middle of the highway, nearly causing a crash. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times, and the contact was able to drive to the dealer at a significantly slower speed. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, Fort Mill Ford (801 Gold Hill Rd, Fort Mill, SC 29708), where the transmission was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the vehicle experienced cam phaser failure and was sold due to the repair cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

2019 Ford 10 speed transmission has been shift hard when slowing down and then accelerating. This week while driving 65 mph the collision warning came on and truck slowed down. There was no traffic near me for any collision. Since then the transmission is not shifting correctly.i had one occasion where the transmission shifted from 8th gear to 1st gear. Very hard, or pausing and then shifting hard. Coming into highway it paused, loss power in front of of oncoming traffic. Very dangerous so I immediately took my vehicle to Ford Dealer and also call the Ford Customer relations to report issue. There is only 75,000 miles on the truck. In research I have found know issues with exact same issues on this transmission. However no recall for my vehicle. This is poor safety and poor customer satisfaction for Ford.

10 speed transmission started down shifting randomly, while on interstate or city driving. I had to start driving it in manual until I could get transmission replaced at dealership. This is happening to all these 10 speed transmissions from 2018- ~2023 ford and GM vehicles. This could have caused a fatality.

Having major issues with the auto stop control, it has turned the truck off while sitting in the middle of an intersection, has stalled my truck multiple times in busy areas of on coming traffic, has shortened my battery life and my starter, and it has shown different warning icons. The power train is also acting up by hard shifting, not wanting to switch gears, skipping gears, and also making it difficult to pin point problem. My rear left brake functions are causing an issue as well, some function is making my brakes either stick or something because I get a burning odor constantly coming from my rear wheel even after changing my brakes and rotors.

Transmission shift rough, driving down the road shifts down to first gear, and sometimes does shift into 3rd-4th gear going down the and basically stops me in the middle of traffic until it finally decides to shift. I brought it to ford the first they said the transmission computer needed to be reset, so they did that and it was even worse when I left the parking lot. So I called them the next morning, and they told me to bring it back in that's when they told me my transmission needed to be replaced for $8,000 When I started doing research I found this is a common problem with this certain transmission i called ford corporation and the lady proceeded to tell me they are aware of the issue with this transmission and they are working on a remedy for the issue but they were only willing to pay for half of the cost. But if they know there is a issue(a safety issue) with this transmission then why not fix it for me. Ford 10r80 transmission

2019 Ford F150 eco boost lariatTransmission 10 speed failed! About killed me twice pulling out into traffic! Harsh shifting Jerking Hesitations during acceleration Unexpected losses of power Slipped gears However it wasn’t on the recall list but doing the same thing as the ones recalled .! Which I feel is Bs in why they didn’t recall all 10 speed transmissions!

vehicle shifts gears in automatic transmission at highway speeds all the way down to first gear . this causes vehicle to lurch in an unexpected manner. now transmission frequently won't engage at all.

UNKNOWN. Truck has issues switching gears. Pulled out on the highway and truck wouldn’t shift out of 2nd gear. I almost got rear ended because the truck would not shift into the higher gears. It finally shifted real hard out of 2nd gear, then started shifting back to lower gears even though I wasn’t slowing down. This incident with it not shifting out of 2nd only happened once so far, but the shifting between gears has been erratic the last few weeks. Talking to other people who own F-150’s, this seems like a common issue with these trucks.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at slow speeds, the transmission upshifted from first gear to fifth gear unexpectedly. The transmission was slamming into gear while driving at slow and high speeds. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle stopped. There was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The check Owner’s Manual message was displayed. There was no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the RPM's rapidly increased but the vehicle lost motive power, after which, the contact became aware that the vehicle had downshifted on its own. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V444000 (Power Train), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

Vehicle hesitates shifting into 4th gear especially when first leaving the driveway and attempting to accelerate to pace of traffic. The hesitation is enough to make your head lurch forward, followed by a harsh engagement of 4th gear. I’m concerned I may be rear ended due to lack of power. The problem has happened continually. No MIL lights or any other problems. The vehicle will be scheduled for service.

On December 7 2024 I parked the vehicle in a driveway and left the engine running. The vehicle's gear selector was firmly in park and the emergency brake was not set. I sat in the vehicle for a few minutes waiting for my friend. While waiting and the vehicle still in park and still running, I exited the vehicle to adjust the back set. I left the driver door open, and opened the rear driver's side door to fold down the rear seat, and move items out of the way. While doing so the vehicle suddenly began drifting backwards. I immediately stepped backwards and watched the vehicle roll backwards down the driveway approximately 5-10 feet. The vehicle then stopped. I then got into the cab and put the emergency brake on. The vehicle has had prior service for transmission shifting issues and was reprogrammed. This initially helped but over time the transmission began exhibiting shifting issues. In general, after start up, the first time the vehicle shifts from 3rd to 4th gear the shift may feel hard and as if the brakes are being applied. This occurs intermittently.

My truck has been suddenly and unexpectedly downshifting into first gear at any speed. At times, it would not engage the transmission at low gears leaving me stuck in the middle of the intersection or at a stop light. The Ford service department indicated that the10r80 transmission has to be rebuilt due to the CDF drum going bad. According to the service department, this seems to be a common issue with a Ford 150 10 speed truck. I have read that the 2017-2019 Ford six speed transmissions has a safety recall. It seems that Ford has built a substandard 6 and 10 speed transmission putting people in risk of injury due to a malfunctioning transmission.

While driving this morning 12/6/24 I pulled out of a driveway going between 5-10 mph and my truck completely turned off. The dashboard said...."Auto StartStop Shift to P, then Restart Engine" My truck had no lights, the steering wheel became stiff, I couldnt steer, the brake became very plyable almost unusable, I was completely stuck in the middle of the road! I had to put my truck in park and restart it. Luckily it started and didnt cause an accident. This is the 3rd time this has happened since I owned this vehicle. This is extremely dangerous and very scary!

Vehicle unexpected slips out of gear between gear 3 to 4 change. Vehicle rolls free like it would if it was in neutral.

10 speed transmission jumps gears causes truck to jump violently or not go at all. I turned onto a busy road to get my daughter from school and it went from 7 to 1 and I was stuck. I could have been hit, thankful my daughter was not in the car it was terrifying. Happened more than once. Now it’s parked at home unable to drive, scared to death I will get into an accident.

The 10R80 10 speed automatic transmission has faulty design that causes the truck to lurch and clunk while shifting. This induces dangerous shifts between high and low gears and a high rate of speed. It also results in loss of power while trying to merge onto the highway.

Automatic transmission shifting very harsh and lags at times. When pulling onto or across the highway from a stop the transmission will lag and will almost stop between gears posing the risk of a being struck from behind or from the side by other vehicles. At highway speed the transmission will show it as being in 10th gear but will suddenly act as if in neutral and the gear inductor light shows 4th gear or lower and as if all pulling power is lost. This has happened on a couple of different occasions causing me to have to either merge to the emergency lane on the interstate or look for a potential pull off on secondary roads. When this happened with other vehicles following it puts you in fear of being struck from behind especially if you are unable to immediately get to the shoulder of the road or a safe pull off. The warning light has illuminated when this happens. Ford is able to look it up on the computer remotely and tell that there are issues with the shifting sequence. According to the local dealer this problem is only fixable by replacing the transmission. This problem seems to be a known problem to many others as well as the ford dealerships and in my opinion poses a huge safety concern for not only the driver and any passengers in the vehicle but also other nearby drivers. These problems occur with various speeds and driving conditions.

My truck has a 10 speed transmission and currently has 114,000 miles on the odometer.At about 90,000 miles It began shifting weird mainly into third gear just maybe a little slipping. That has drastically evolved to the engine racing between most shifts and causing hard jerking. At times it feels like it goes into neutral snd the engine revs, putting no power to the wheels. Most recently it has began to happen on the highway, even between seventh and 10th gear. It seems to lose forward momentum, but the income begins to race. This is becoming a major safety factor. At times, even making a turn the vehicle slows, but the engine speeds up, I went to my local Ford dealer. They said they’ve had no complaints of the 10 speed transmission on the Fords. I did some research and realize there are some recalls but not currently for my year.

Engine noise/rattling while decelerating, random rough idle that causes engine to almost stall out and die when taking off from a stop at intersections. No check engine lights.

Transmission shifting from 1st to 3rd gear. Vehicle slows down where I'm pushed forward then shifts to third with a banging sound where the vehicle jumps forward and I'm pushed back in the seat. Almost got into several accidents while I'm traffic. This started around 64.5k miles told dealer would have to leave vehicle. Problem went away but then it seemed that shifting to each gear I would be pushed forward and then pushed back as gear kicked in. Contacted dealer and was told I could not bring vehicle in because they had 6 vehicles in their garage with transmission issues and they have no parts for them. Dealer would call back on Monday or Tuesday following week. Never called me back so I called the end of that week on a Friday. Manager I was speaking to was out called following Monday went on on a Wednesday. The transmission issues had gotten worse, shifting up and down banging into gear. The dealer updated codes to see if that would correct problem. Resolution is that transmission is no good I was given 3 options. Need to buy a new transmission with install rounded up costs ,10k. Option 2 would have the ford tech team disassemble the transmission to find the problem which will cost more than 10k. Last option is trade it in for a new vehicle. Today my wrench came on due to transmission code error. I feel that not only is this a safety issue it's a consumer issue as well. How does a customer deal with a truck where a transmission that is no good and is being told that by the dealer? I've kept up with all services and recalls. I see there are recalls but not for the JL3Z7000. Ford knows they have problems and are selling lemons the do not have fixes only temporary fixes. I really cannot afford another vehicle and need a vehicle for work. I hope the nhtsa forces ford to recall all their problematic transmission and extend the warranty to 7 years 100k miles.

I came off of an exit ramp, when I hit the gas, the truck went to neutral and motor reved up. I pulled off to the side of the road for a few seconds and the truck went back into gear. The truck also has a hard time going into 10th gear. It has reved up and a wrench has popped up in my dash.

The vehicle has had transmission issues from the first day. It never had second gear. The engines revs up to 6k rpm then hard shifts. And the truck lunges forward. The shifting then got so drastically bad all of a sudden at 100 k miles. The truck had zero gears and would not shift. I had to let the truck run for 30 minutes for it to shift at all. I would be driving and the truck rev up to 5/6 k rpms them lunge forward for many gears. This would happen whilst on the highway. It was super dangerous at all times, but especially pulling onto highways or crossing intersections. Now that I read about the class action law suits I realize this problem has been present the entire time and Ford knew about it. And now two payments away from being done with my $32k investment, I have to figure out a way to purchase a new truck!?

I’ve had issues with my transmission since I purchased the vehicle new. Most of the time it just downshifts from like 4/5th gear to 1st/2nd gear and slams the truck. Very horrible shifting. I’ve also had it before though that I’m going through an intersection and the truck can’t find the gear and I have no acceleration for a few seconds. Luckily I haven’t gotten hit before. I brought it into the dealer and they reprogrammed the computer and said to try that. It seamed better for about a week and then was horrible again. The dealer did notice the jerky shifting. I’ve also had continued issues with the radio screen not working.

Truck will stall and error will pop on screen stating “Auto StartStop Shift to P, then restart engine”. It does this when at a stop or slowing down to come to a stop or turning causing a huge saftey issue.

I've experienced issues in my 2019 F-150 XLT 4X4 with the 10R80 10-speed transmission. The Ford dealership in Aurora, OH has informed me that a $6,400 transmission rebuild is required. The truck does have 120,000 miles on it but whatever happened to "Built Ford Tough"? HELP!!

When driving on the highway going any speed. The car feels like it goes into neutral and the rpm goes up while I’m going to the speed limit but the car just cruises and it won’t pick up speed. Then it feels like it communicates again and it starts to work

When drive at low speed the gears on the truck shift hard between 3 and 4th.

HARD SHIFTING ! NOT UP SHIFTING OR DOWN SHIFTING OR IT WILL GO FROM 10TH TO 1ST GEAR ON THE HWY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, I HAD 2 SEMI TRUCKS RIGHT BEHIND ME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHEN STOPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD TRYING TO START IN A HIGHER GEAR, AND CAUSING ME TO BE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION WITH ON COMING TRAFFICK. IT IS LOUNGING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, IT CAUSES THE RPM TO RED LINE WHEN YOU ARE NOT ACCELORATING EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND ARE APPLYING THE BRAKE. IT IS SKIPING GEARS IT WILL GO FROM 1 TO 7TH TO 10TH BACK DOWN TO 1ST ALL WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS, IT WILL DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT AND JUMP SO HARD THAT IT HURTS MY BACK AND MAKES EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK SORE FEELING LIKE YOU GOT WHIPLASH. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST STARTED CLANKING HARD WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TRANSMISSION AND WOULDNT EVEN LOOK AT IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE I HAVE REACHED OUT TO SERVAL OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUES THEY HAVE ALL TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE GETTING SO MANY REPORTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND FORD HAS NOT FOUND A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED THERE WERE NO WORNINGS AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NOW I AM GETTING NOTTIFICATIONS ON THE FORD APP AND THERE HAS BEEN A WRENCH LIGHT THTHAT COMES ON THE DASH PERIODICLY. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD SUGGUSTED BY THEM. COSTING ALMOST $6000.00 AND ACOURDING TO THEM THIS IS THE ONLY FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. THE CLUTCH BASKET HAS FAILED SENDING IMPROPER FLUID PRESSURE THOUGH OUT THE TRANSMISSION.

I have had multiple repairs to my transmission including full replacement. Gears are already slipping or hesitating and its only been 1 year.

My F150 shifts hard through the gears sometimes. It's real clunky, loud and shuddering. Sometimes it shifts suddenly causing rapid acceleration or down shifts just as hard causing sudden deceleration. In traffic this is a dangerous situation, such as merging lanes. Not only is it uncomfortable and probably bad for parts. It's dangerous and not Ford tough like they advertise.

The vehicle was purchased brand new from a Ford dealership in 2019 in Virgina. Later, a service bulletin was released by Ford for a "cold start rattle" and cam phaser failure through the ford pass app and by mail. This service bulletin extended the warranty on the cam phaser parts to cover up to 100% of the cost to fix the vehicle. At that time, due to being a military family we had moved to Florida and never received the service bulletin in the mail. After reviewing the service bulletin for the vehicle on the ford pass app, it was taken to a Ford dealership in Miami to be inspected. The Ford Miami dealership did not think there was a cam phaser issue with the vehicle at that time and refused to fix vehicle. Ultimately, the vehicle was taken back to a Ford dealership in Ohio to have it reinspected for the same issue (The cold start rattle/Cam Phaser). The Ford Dealership assessed the vehicle and stated, it in fact has the known issues with the Cam Phaser failure. The vehicle is under the mileage for the service bulletin. However, Ford is unwilling to fix the vehicle due to exceeding the date of the service bulletin. This issue puts my safety and others on the road at risk, because if the cam phaser is not fixed the motor of the vehicle will fail and could potentially cause serious injury or death. The vehicle is not safe to drive at this time. This problem has been confirmed by a Ford Dealership and the vehicle is currently sitting at the dealership awaiting to be fixed. There are no warning lights on the vehicle for this issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power while accelerating. An unknown warning light was illuminated.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVING THE TRUCK SLAMMED FROM FOURTH GEAR INTO FIRST EXTREAMLY HARD.

Every morning I go to work and I let the engine idle down before moving as soon as I start driving gears 3 and 4 shift so hard it sometimes lunges me forward. Also just Saturday 9/15/24 I was driving with my kids in the truck and same thing gears were fine till I hit 3rd then a long pause I definitely felt the loss of momentum and then bam slams into 4th.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding a significant manufacturing defect in the transmission of my 2019 Ford F-150. The vehicle, which I purchased new from an authorized Ford dealership, has exhibited persistent and severe transmission issues that have compromised its performance and safety. Specifically, the transmission has been shifting harshly and erratically, causing the vehicle to jerk, lunge, and hesitate between gears. This defect has not only affected the drivability of the truck but has also posed a serious safety risk to myself and other road users. Despite multiple visits to the dealership for repairs, the problem persists, indicating a fundamental flaw in the transmission system. I have learned that this issue is not isolated to my vehicle alone. There have been numerous reports and a class action lawsuit concerning the 10-speed automatic transmission in Ford F-150 models from 2017 to 20201. Additionally, Ford has issued recalls and technical service bulletins related to transmission defects in these vehicles23. Given the widespread nature of this defect and its potential danger, I urge the NHTSA to conduct a thorough investigation into the transmission issues affecting the 2019 Ford F-150. It is imperative that Ford Motor Company be held accountable for this defect and that appropriate measures be taken to ensure the safety and reliability of these vehicles. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and action. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At low speeds my transmission will down shift to the point my truck feels likes it’s nose diving then kicks into the higher gear hard before correcting its self into the correct gear. I am getting nowhere with any dealer besides if I don’t have the transmission recall then it’s on me to pay for the fix. I don’t truly feel that is fair at all to me with still making a monthly payment.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted to first gear, resulting in irreparable damages to the transmission and the engine. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired; however, the contact was informed that the engine and transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

When my truck hit about 60,000 - 65,000 miles it started to jump into gear sometimes. It didn't feel right. It was at a low RPMs when starting to accelerate. I was planning on taking it to the dealership to have a look at it, but several months had gone by before I had an opportunity to do so. I then noticed a clanking upon a cold start. It sounded like a loose muffler. So I planned a trip to have both of these issues looked at. The Ford Dealer Service Manager told me that the cam phasers and transmission needed to be replaced. How can a vehicle with only 65,000 miles on it need almost $20,000 in repairs???!!! I went ahead and authorized the cam phaser job because I didn't realize how costly it actually was, I misunderstood the service manager. But I will not be fixing the transmission unless ford does a courtesy replacement, or a recall. I will otherwise wait until this transmission leaves me stranded on the side of the road to be raped and murdered. Everyone with this transmission is having issues. There is a class action lawsuit starting over it. I am now reading hundreds of on line complaints and watching a ridiculous amount of videos of these failures in Fords transmission and the cam phasers. Please help me. I cannot afford $20,000 in repairs and I bought a new vehicle so that I could be rest assured not to have any major repair needed so soon in its life span. I don't have the invoices yet, the Ford Dealer still has my truck in the shop.

Transmission slippage while accelerating to speed. Started with 3rd gear going into 4th, now it's almost all of the gears. I've almost been rear-ended 3 times because of slippage

I started noticing my transmission slipping when I first drive my vehicle after being parked for a few hours about 8 months ago. It stopped slipping after a couple of minutes. I didn’t take it to a ford service department because various websites said that is normal with the 10 speed transmissions. About a month ago, the slipping became worse. I also started losing power. I would start to accelerate through an intersection when I would lose power. I took it to a ford service department and they said I need a new transmission based on a TSB report. I contacted Ford customer service to determine if they will cover all or most of the repairs because my truck only has 65000 miles. They finally came back and said they will only cover a small portion of the cost.

Currently Suffering from a manufacturing defect per diagnosis from Ford technician in my 2019 F150 with the 10-speed transmission. I was advised by Ford to submit the form since I must pay for the repair and updated components to fix the issue and would be reimbursed once the recall was issues. Ford has issued a new technical service bulletin (TSB 24-2046) and re-engineered the CDF drum and housing to correct the issue. Below is a list of symptoms I’ve been experiencing along with others from 2017 – 2023: Wrench light is on Clunking or banging noise when starting the engine Rough, harsh or erratic shifting Hesitation between gears Gear slipping Gear getting stuck while shifting Jerking or lunging Loss of power while driving

Transmission started making a loud noise and jerking the truck. Tachometer was showing engine rpm increasing rapidly and dropping back several hundred revolutions; gear indicator didn't change (higher or lower) indicating a gear change. Transmission temperature was running approx. 205F however would increase to 230F when the transmission would make noise multiple times. Vehicle took extra effort to control while this was happening both on an Interstate highway and secondary roads. Coming out of the mountains I had to use the brakes more than usual due to the jerking around and stopped when they experienced brake fade and I could smell them. Pic attached. Stopped later and had engine codes read with a OBD reader at auto parts store; no codes or warning lights. This is the 10R80E 10 speed transmission. Called local transmission shop and Ford dealer. Local transmission shop rep said that they have replaced several and currently have 2 in the shop now with the similar issue, explained the recurring problems with this transmission, suggested I could Google it and recommended a reman with the now upgraded/updated parts to correct the original design flaws. CDF drum, valve body and something else. The reman cost versus rebuild are about the same, reman has a better warranty than the trans shop could offer. Local Ford dealer provided "ballpark" estimate of $10K to repair or replace transmission. The vehicle has 78,000 miles on it so out of warranty. Regarding whether or not my safety was at risk, I would have to say yes due to the fact that the truck was harder to control when the transmission was jerking the vehicle around since it happened with no warning. It also happens at any speed and engine rpm, high or low doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm a certified Emergency Vehicle Operator, small to large apparatus so better experienced to deal with unexpected vehicle failures than many drivers. This was a serious problem causing significant drivability/control issues.

Transmission abruptly shifts between lower gears (1-5), sometimes causing a jerking motion. Several times it drops down (feeling like car completely looses power) causing cars in to almost rear end vehicle, conversely jerks forward when shifting into high gear almost rear-ending car in front of me. Has happened several times. Dealer claims need to redo transmission. Upon investigating online, there are numerous similar complaints forum discussing this topic. This is a serious safety issue with Ford along with bilking customers.

Transmission has always shift loudly into 8th gear since I bought it at 31k miles. It has 95k miles on it now. Bought it in Nov 2021 used off a Ford dealer lot. Driving a few weeks ago. Going 30 mph. Stopped at a stop sign and then made a left mildly accelerated, probably around 30mph and I was still accelerating, engine goes to redline and engine shifts down to I'm guessing first. Every dash light pops on, and the truck doesn't even show it's in drive or any gear. I pulled to the next stop sign that was not to far away. I brake and shut the truck off and put it in park. I try to start it and it doesn't work. It did not turn over at all. I got it towed to home and checked it out. The transmission control module fuse was blown. I replaced it and it blew again and again. I checked for broken wires, I did not remove anything to check. I did not see anything. Had it towed to Ford. Ford told me the transmission control module had shorted out internally and they needed to order a new transmission control module. They just got it yesterday and told me they were having trouble programming it and hoping it'd be ready tomorrow.

The car lost ALL POWER and the ability to accelerate for more than 10 seconds. Luckily cars coming form across moved to the side to not hit me. I was stuck in the middle of the intersection. I attempted to shift manually in a panic and the car slammed really hard in likely 1st gear, red-lineed for several seconds then inched forward enough to pull to the side. I was able to proceed forward stuck in 7th gear, where the car remained stuck in that gear. This was terrifying as I had ZERO ability to move forward, the engine was revving but no gears were available

Transmission failure requiring replacement

My 2019 F150 transmission will downshift very harsh into first gear like the truck nose dives and will slam back into fourth after, like the transmission loses power. I have had it at the dealer when it was still in warranty and they had it for like two weeks and then said it was the throttle body but that definitely never fixed it. Since I am out of warranty I just learned to live with the issue for last couple of years and now I see there is a recall for this issue but my truck doesn’t fall under the recall or something. Trying to get help with fixing this issue.

While driving, rpms went high, speed dramatically decreased suddenly as transmission suddenly and without warning began changing gear. as soon as possible, I pulled into a local convenience store where I had no transmission gears at all ( 1st thru reverse ). Looking under my vehicle, I noted a stream of transmission fluid running down the parking lot. The incident caused an extremely dangerous situation as I was traveling on a major, busy 4 lane highway. Vehicle was towed to a prominent ford dealer, where a “ blown out transmission cooler fitting “ was found. “Wrench” light came on dash as vehicle began to decelerate. Transmission had similar issues regarding loss of power and gear changing issues no fewer than 3 times after this.

The transmission surges forwarded upon placing in drive during a cold startup. during driving loses power and will not engage. when this happens the gas paddle has to released so that the transmission can regain power. check engine light came on. Truck was inspected by ford dealership and was informed that the truck needs a new transmission after diagnostic was preformed.

Cam Phasers went bad, was told that while some vehicles from other factories feel under an extended warranty this one did not although its the same make and model for what appears to be a widespread issue.

Transmission has been horrible for a couple of years, would down shift on its on while on highway at high speeds. Also would not not allow you to accelerate randomly nearly causing numerous accidents.

Vehical shifts hard and surges forward during shifts. After sitting for a least 8 hours, the shifting will stick at 7th gear and then cycle between 1st and 7th until finally issuing a power train warning symbol (wrench). Other times it stays in 7th gear at a complete stop. This causes a slow pull out at intersections ( pulling out in 7th gear) until it slams into 3rd gear and surges forward.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH over a bump, the vehicle made an abnormally loud banging sound.

Hard and or lagging shift seems to have delayed shift then slam into gear

10 speed transmission shifting erratically between gears sometimes delayed shifts other times hard shifts. Transmission has also went into neutral while in gear. Dealer says my vehicle isn't affected by current recalls. I'd strongly disagree. Dealer says CDF drum needs replaced likely due to CDF clutch drum bushing movement blocking flow of fluid to properly operate transmission. Dealer was asked if there is an updated part number to fix issue of bushing movement. I was told no. I asked Dealer if it was likely this could happen again and was told yes. Vehicle currently has 62,137 miles.

Engine randomly ratted and sometimes sounds like a loud sewing machine when first started up. Transmission skips gears and bangs into gears. Transmission has downshifted while driving causes fear and momentary loss of control. Transmission over heats while towing my camper. Truck is rated tow my camper. Engine misses while under load. I fear I will be broke down along side the road. Trade in value for a truck that operates properly has left me with an unsafe situation and a financial loss.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and started to unexpectedly downshift. In addition, the vehicle failed to shift into gear properly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as a failure with the CDF drive and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

At cruising speeds on the highway, the transmission will shift from 10th to 1st gear. This has occurred on several occasions, forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder. The transmission will then be stuck in 1st gear until I place it in Park. I sometimes have to shift from Park to Drive several times before it will proceed again. The transmission will also lag between gear shifts when accelerating from a stop. It feels like it goes into neutral and abruptly upshifts. When attempting to accelerate under normal driving conditions on the highway, there is a violent down shift. All of this causes the transmission to overheat. I cannot drive in the city under stop and go conditions for more than a short period of time before it overheats and I have to pull over. I have notified the Ford Dealership and they have confirmed my experience. They have stated this is a common issue but no recall has been issued.

Truck would down shift to 1 no matter what gear I was in and jerk. It would also shake and/or stall at random times. I was almost t-boned pulling out of my of my neighborhood and it stalling. I was also close to being read ended when truck was in 5th and jumped to one going down the road.

I was driving down the road at 70 mph and my 10R80 transmission rapidly downshifted to 1st gear. This is on top of the erratic shifting and driveline vibration from the CDF clutches which ford said tough luck on getting repaired/warrantied after they announced they fixed with a redesign, but also after being told "nothing is wrong" until after the warranty has gone out.

On [XXX] i was traveling on [XXX] coming home from Nashville, TN the cruise control was set at approx 75mph, my truck was in 10th gear. I suddenly heard a loud clunk , looked at the instrument cluster and the gear indicator showed i was in 3rd gear, I promptly pulled over and stopped to inspect for any type of damage. There was none so i proceeded to a nearby exit and gas station, put the truck in park, shut it off for a more thorough inspection. Nothing was found so i cautiously proceeded the remaining 75 miles to my home, i have not had that issue again, yet. 2019 Ford F150 , 85,000 miles. One owner vehicle.

Hard transmission shifting and hesitation. It puts the driver and others in danger from the hard shifting and unexpected shifting and hesitation when shifting.

I was driving 75 when it first happened. My transmission went from 10th gear and down shifted to 1st gear. Then threw my check engine light and reduced power. I pulled over shut the truck off and the reduced power went away. However the check engine light stayed on. It’s happened multiple times. I took it to a ford dealership to check it out and they wanted 1k-1200 just to tear into the transmission to see without identifying that was 100 percent gonna fix it. I’ve seen where other 10 speed 5.0s have had the same issues. It got to where you can’t even drive it bc it would shift down while you would turn into an intersection a downshift putting you in major danger of ther vehicles. so it’s at an independent shop right now.

The transmission on my 2019 F-150 truck hesitates and slips out of gear. This started in 2020 and is occurring more frequently now. About 2 weeks ago I was traveling on the highway at approximately 55mph when the transmission unexpectedly seemed to slip into Neutral and the truck no longer responded to the gas peddle. I had not touched the gear at all. The vehicle began to coast and I felt I had no control of it, putting my safety at risk of a crash on the highway. Before I could attempt to pull off the highway, the transmission shifted back into drive and began to respond to me pressing the gas. In 2020 the vehicle was taken in for assessment for gear slipping and I was told nothing was wrong with it. I recently went for repairs this week and the dealership indicated that there is a likely a transmission problem, however, they are so backed up with transmission complaints that they can't get to me until mid-July. There are/were no warning lights illuminated.

My transmission started slamming down into first gear while driving down the road and almost caused me to get it hit. It also was having hard shifts and slamming into gears. I tried to get ahold of ford and they said they were months out from getting it in the shop. They finally got me in to get it looked at and they said my transmission needs replaced and it’s gonna cost almost $9000.00!! My truck only has just over 60,000 miles and they said they won’t cover it.. I seen where they have had recalls on all the year models except for the 2019. This needs to be addressed they obviously know these 10 speed transmissions are junk..

The engine has a bad rattle on every first start (or cold start). There are a ton of posts about this issue, and it sounds like it's a bad cam phaser that's prevalent on all F-150s built between 2017 and 2020. If there are so many trucks affected, then why isn't there a recall in place from Ford? It looks like Ford had some type of extended warranty issued through Jan 2023, but then that stopped. Here is more information on the issue: Ford is aware of the Cam Phaser problems and has issued a technical several bulletin to address the complaints and provide warranty repairs. According the Ford Cam Phaser Technical Service Bulletin Program 21N03 (TSB): “In some of the affected vehicles, an undesirable noise may develop from the cam phasers in the 3.5L GTDI engine. This noise might occur as a rattle when starting the engine after the vehicle was turned off for an extended period of time or as a knocking noise when the engine is idling after it is warmed up” In addition, the Ford Cam Phaser TSB has established a program which extends the warranty coverage of the engine cam phasers until January 1, 2023.

There is a delay in shift engagement in our 2019 Ford F150. When we took it to our mechanic they gave us a code that showed up on the vehicle and said to take it to the dealer along with a packet to give to the dealer when we drop it off. The packet that they gave us includes 9 different ford models for multiple years that are having the same issue. The date of issue was found August 14, 2023. This is almost a year of having a known issue that can cause your transmission to stop working and ford has not issued a recall.

On my way home from work on 5/29 while driving on the freeway my 2019 Ford F150 with 79k miles on it began to shift weird and feel like the transmission was slipping. I got off on my exit and stopped at the stop light at which point my truck shuddered and shut off flashing an "Auto Stop/Start, put the vehicle in park and restart engine" warning. The light turned green and I restarted the engine and it shuddered and died again with the same warning. I restarted the engine and it seemed to work. I decided to drive the last 1 miler to my house. The next morning I took the truck to the Ford dealership. On my way the truck was hard downshifting, knocking, and then went into limp mode in the middle of an intersection. I pulled over and restarted the engine. I was able to get it into gear and drive to the dealership. On the way the truck downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear on its own at 40mph. I was on the freeway when this happened. I was able to keep driving and the truck shifted into 10th gear. after a few seconds it then downshifted from 10th gear to 1st gear. I placed it in neutral to avoid getting rear ended or destroying the truck. I barely made it to the dealership. The dealership informed me 2 days later that the transmission was blown. They found chunks of metal in the transmission fluid and the following codes were displayed: P0767, P2535/P2703. No warning lights came on until the 10th to 1st downshift right before I made it to the dealership. This was a highly unsafe series of events that resulted in a destroyed transmission and a significant scare on my part while driving. Just blessed that no one rear ended me. The 10r80 transmissions have a TSB out on them but have no safety recall. This is not an anomaly. These same issues have been happening since 2019.

The component in question was the transmission. It will take a month to get a new transmission installed. It is available for inspection and I have documentation from the shop. I was traveling in the center lane on I5 in heavy rain when the truck began to shift hard. After a few hard shifts I lost consistency with applying the throttle. The throttle would not respond and the truck would not accelerate. The traffic behind me (it was 5pm rush hour) was honking and swerving around me including semis. I was attempting to get over as soon as possible but with the loss of consistent acceleration and hard shifting with quick loss of power made the safe exit off the freeway a dangerous situation. Not every car could see I was in the center lane with my flashers on due to the rain and semi behind me. So when I would attempt to get over traffic that was cutting around in the slow lane would go flying by me and some expressed frustrations. The truck was brought into a shop and the issue presented on their first drive. The codes that were thrown and the hard shifting with loss of power caused them to determine it was the transmission. The shop has experience this situation with the transmission a few times in the last month they explained. The also showed me the burnt transmission fluid a d all the TSBs associated with the issue. The first warning light did not present itself until I was taking the truck to the shop. A symbol of a wrench that I had never seen before. Dash board notified me to "see owners manual". The truck was left running upon delivery so the shop could see the warning.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle intermittently downshifted to first gear without warning. The contact stated that the failure persisted for a moment before the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle had been taken to a dealer however, the cause for the failure could not be duplicated or determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

While towing a motorcycle, the wrench light came on. The transmission over revved and slipped out of gear shifting from 1-3 and 7-8. It continued to slip in and out of gear while driving.

I have had numerous issues with the transmission on this truck. The truck has been to dealerships ever since I bought it for transmission issues. New issue occurred this week while going 75mph and continually as I decreased speed down to 60mph. While driving at the high rate of speed the transmission would go from gear 10 straight to 1, causing the RPMs to spike and Redline once. This occurred 5 times during my drive within about 15 minutes until I was able to stop and leave the truck. No leaks of any transmission fluid was found and truck has had all of its annual inspections and work done according to Ford maintenance timelines and all work on truck has been done at Ford dealerships. I have complained to many dealerships about my transmission. One of the times the gear shifted to from 10 to 1 for a few seconds and then straight back to 10 after the RPMs spiking was recorded on video.

The transmission ten gear automatic. Won't go into fourth gear at at all keeps jumping when. Trying to go into first second and third then jumps four. Also on highway it will shut off all together or will start speeding up very dangerous. On side streets it's dies out even more unexpectedly trying to short gears. Already had it in once for problem with the front differential didn't switch gears and never got receipt and think did something to hubs like four thousand dollar fix. Now I serviced it for.seats they took it on took week to get part in and right tool to fix truck seat it stood with them a week before I called to see what deal.was I've seen problems with this ten gear transmission already and this will be second time trying to fix these trucks are junk. First problem I had the lights would go out in middle of the night while driving. Then lights Wont go off stay on killing battery already in second battery but to fix the transmission problem u half to use speed control just to keep it from shutting off or accelerated of speed. But with this being second time they better fix it if they don't they don't follow the extended warra.ty and want a payout for the full worth of the truck. It's aife threatening thing with this transmission. Plus had already like ten other recalls onnoy already it's a new truck I wouldn't buy one.

Wrench light came on. Skipped shifts and over revs. Truck has been at Ford service for a month. Parts ordered. Tore into and ordered more parts. Truck has 69,000 miles so it is 9,000 miles outside of powertrain warranty. Estimated repair cost is $4,800. FORD customer service offered nothing beside we're sorry. Truck has not shifted right since day one. Ford did a transmission reprogram flash at about 10,000 which helped a little. Cross lane traffic turns had to be planned and timed in case the transmission decided to think about shifting gears while coasting.

Gears are slipping and fluttering between gears 3, 4, & 5. Research leads me to a TSB-2250 released by Ford in 8/2023, and it has caused me to lose speed/control when accelerating through traffic intersections and getting up to speed on the high way.

Transmission slips and shifts erratic. Sometimes it hesitates and lacks power. It's dangerous due to being unpredictable in operation. Vehicle has been in dealership and "found to be normal." I was blown off. It has always shifted jerking and shifting erratic. They said "nothing could be done about it and this is the way it is.. " Now I find out there is a service bulletin that addresses the issue but Ford will NOT FIX IT because I am 3 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY. Still in mileage at 44k. This is a safety issue and a recall should be issued due to the massive number affected drivers and Ford's absolute unwillingness to own their defect!

65,000 miles towing a motorcycle trailer and the wrench light comes on. Transmission would sometimes slam shift, other times slip out of gear completely. It also shifted from 3-8, slipped out of gear and over revved 1500-2000 rpms. Ford says CDF drum and valve body needs replacement.

Five weeks ago, my transmission service light came on. I drove to Phil Long Ford, by nursing the vehicle along, and left it to be repaired. I was told today that the 10 speed transmission is a common problem, and they are backed up for repairs for many of these same problems. I have had to wait for parts due the frequent occurrence of this issue, and lack of trained personnel to handle it. I was also told today that it would be two more weeks before I can get back the vehicle. If this is so common that the dealers are having issued repairing, there should be a quality recall of these vehicles, to repair or replace or compensate the owners.

I purchased a 2019 F150 in 2023 to date the car has roughly 60,000miles on it. Recently I noticed it "slipping" when driving. I brought it to the dealer where the car was purchased to be looked at. Upon dropping the car off, a service tech said this was a common issue in this type of vehicle. Ford called a few days later, the vehicle needs a full transmission rebuild and they are not willing to help cover the cost even though they sold the vehicle with a faulty transmission and without disclosing a material fact about the vehicle. The transmission is the system that failed/is failing and it is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle got stuck in 4th gear which prevented it from properly shifting and maintaining an appropriate speed on an interstate. This put and will put myself and every vehicle around me in danger.

The first item to malfunction was the transmission gear indicator on the dash, that started about a year after I bought the truck and would intermittently work. I had multiple oil changes in the truck at various dealers and brought it up but nothing ever came up from it since it was intermittent. Then in 2023 a warning popped up that the blind spot indicators were malfunctioning. I was planning to bring it in to be looked at but did not have time to with work and family. Then at 95,000 miles the transmission failed while towing a loaded trailer and began to shift erratically, sending the engine to extremely dangerous RPM levels while trying to downshift. Every gear began to clunk into place with a severe jerking motion and then eventually could only be operated with any sort of safety at low speeds. There were initially NO warning lamps that popped up for the transmission failure either. It went out at night 2.5hours away from my home so I spent 15minutes limping it to a gas station at low very low speeds. Only moving it around a bit the next day did it show any warning and it just said to see the dealer.

The transmission went out after only having the truck 1 year. Hard shifting, sluggish shifting and now it’s gone from what the dealership said. It’s the Eco boost V6 with the 10 speed transmission 10R80. I see lawsuits but no recalls from Ford. Couldn’t get up a small hill. The truck is still in the shop

Transmission has hard shifting at various speeds even if you let go of gas. HARD & Delayed shift from park to reverse sometimes park to drive! There’s multiple TSB from ford stating the reason and cause for this! This is a manufacture defect that people have to pay out of pocket for if we aren’t under manufacturing warranty! I think they knew before hand but neglected it they should be the one covering the payment for getting transmission fixed not the owner when it was a manufacturer problem

Truck was in Ford dealer 4 times over 9 months for fix to the transmission. Each time the chief complaint was a vehicle that would allow the transmission to stick between gears so acceleration would cease. It would also be put in reverse but the vehicle would not register that it was in reverse, hence not backing up. Vehicle not going forward or backward is a safety issue. Problem was reproduced by dealer each time. Ford Corporate was involved in trying to fix. No lights appeared on dash during any experience. Nothing done to the vehicle by Kernersville Ford or Ford Corporate worked to relieve the issues.

Cam phasers, powertrain control module. While at a remote site, my engine started making a rattle when first started. Later at the remote site, the truck would not start until weather conditions improved. Upon returning home, I took the truck to my local Ford dealership where it was confirmed the cam phasers needed replacing and was done. I later found a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program notice [XXX], [XXX] and [XXX] I had received in October 2021.

I purchased a 2019 Ford F-150 new from Muzi Ford in Needham Ma. Starting in the winter of 2021 with less than 35,000 miles the truck was sometimes slow in shifting through the gears, ( it is an automatic transmission ) it seemed as though it was slipping on ice . I assumed it was due to cold weather. The same situation occurred occasionally the following winter and seemed worse the colder it was. Several months ago it began to happen more frequently, and now it it has become constant and much worse. The truck stalls , revs up, slips into neutral, then suddenly lunges forward creating a very unpredictable and dangerous situation. It is now nearly impossible to operate this vehicle safely. I took the truck to Madden Ford in Norwood Ma on [XXX] of this year to have it looked at. I was told , much to my surprise that the transmission is beyond repair and would need to be replaced . They also told me that it was no longer covered under the warranty as the truck now has just over 60,000 miles. The cost quoted to replace the transmission is $ 9,877 plus tax. I was also told at the dealership that this is a common problem with this model and year and that it was too bad that I had not brought the truck in sooner as it would have been replaced at no cost to me. I have subsequently discovered that indeed this has been and continues to be an ongoing problem, and that Ford Motor Company knew of these transmission problems and yet continued to manufacture and sell them to unknowing customers. This has been very upsetting and disturbing. I do not have the nearly ten thousand dollars required to replace this and do not own another vehicle. I called the Ford customer service center on February the first and have had no response. I have also sent a letter to them explaining the situation and the dangerous operating condition of this vehicle and also have not had a response. I hope that someone will help with this serious problem before there is any fatal results. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION A

Sudden loss of power due to transmission issue at highway speeds. Ford had a waiting list for a replacements on the transmission and it was indicated by the dealer that they have many issues with this particular transmission and they were hoping ford would issue a recall. I needed the vehicle and had a rebuilt transmission (from Ford) which failed AGAIN under power at highway speeds causing sudden loss of power in traffic causing a very dangerous situation for all vehicles adjacent.

Transmission has hard shifting in lower gears. It gets stuck in 4th gear and loses power. It also will lunge forward sometimes once it gets stuck in 4th gear. It puts mine and others safety in jeopardy because if it loses power on the road it might cause a acciden it might also cause one when it lunges forward. The problem seems to happen everyday I drive the vehicle. There has been no warning lights on the dash about this issue. Ford released a technical service bulletin about it but is should be a recall.

The variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid becomes gummed up, causing the engine to lag. Specifically after driving on the interstate or highway and then sitting at a red light. The VCT does not perform properly and the engine idle drops, causing the truck to stall and die at the light. Online forums show this to be a common problem for the past couple generations of this Ford 5.0 L motor and always seems to occur between 80,000 and 100,000 miles.

The transmission completely loses power at random intervals. It will also shift gears without changing throttle ( from 7th to 1st and back) The vehicle will ‘hunt’ for a gear while turning causes the vehicle to stall This is a life threatening issue.

Transmission between 3rd and 5th gear stops shifting and vehicle doesn’t excellerate this is while I’m in traffic. It also will make a banging noise where I thought someone had ran into the rear of my vehicle. Started last year and it’s getting worst.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 15 MPH, the transmission was skipping gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that when the failure occurred, her husband would release the accelerator pedal until the vehicle responded as needed. The contact stated that on several occasions, her husband pulled to the side of the road until the vehicle operated as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times. The dealer test-drove the vehicle but could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Hardee Ford (1305 W Danville St, South Hill, VA 23970), where the transmission fluid was flushed and the transmission cap was replaced; however, the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the second dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Transmission jerks, and stalls. Drive train noise. Engine cuts out and has rough idle.

The vehicle has given codes P0018 and P0021 on multiple occasions. These codes are likely due to an issue with the cam phasers. This is a known issue due to a design flaw.

Truck hesitates, wants to shut of and does shut off. Wrench indicator comes off and on. Truck Shuts off at stop light and needs to be restarted.

I drive a 2019 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD (8 Cylinders 5 5.0L FI FFV DOHC 302 CID). During November 2023, I was experiencing the truck bucking and jerking and shutting off at red lights and stop signs. I took my truck to the dealership on November 22 to have them look at it. They replaced the starter, an almost dead battery, and a PDM reset. The PDM reset and starter were covered under my extended warranty. Upon driving my truck home, the problem continued to exist and this time much worse. I returned to the same dealership on Friday, November 24, 2023. After a diagnostic test, they found nothing, then stated a couple of people drove the vehicle and could not duplicate the problem I was complaining about which was stressful and frustrating because this problem exists almost every time I drive the vehicle, regardless of how long my trip. Driving this truck has now become a safety hazard as I almost got struck by other vehicles on more than one occasion. When I pull out from a traffic light or any business establishment, I have to keep tapping the gas peddle to get the truck moving and it doesn't move, leaving me stranded in the intersection. When the truck does move, it jerks so hard that it gives you "whiplash". This jerking motion continues during the duration of my trip, including my hour-long drive both to and from work. I took my Ford to another mechanic on December 19, 2023. The establishment sent one of their technicians to ride along with me to experience the problem for himself. I drove out of the driveway for just a few feet when again, I kept tapping the gas pedal to get the truck to move and when it did, the truck jerked violently. The technician saw what he wanted to see. I get no warning lights or messages about the failure. The technician said it was a transmission problem that he has been seeing with the years of 2017-2019 F-150 and Ford is aware of the problem but does nothing about it.

Having issues with transmission shifting normally. Trouble shifting out of 1st and will jerk horribly going into 3rd gear. Was up to gear 8 and let off gas and went totally down to 5th then 4th gear as I was going down highway in traffic. Have an appointment with Ford dealership next week to see what's causing this. There has been no warning of this trouble. It just started the 1st to third jerk then progressively getting worse thru the rest of the gear shifting.

Transmission clunks shifting ,pause shift when when trying to drive forward, clanks when up shifting and down shifting! Bad rattling like drive line or ! ?

My engine light came on and within the same day my vehicle shifted extremely slow. it was difficult to merge into traffic and almost caused an accident. I took the vehicle to Mechanic and they advised the engine light was consistent with the timing chain failure . I called a local local Ford dealer. They seem to be familiar with the issue and said it would cost $4000 to fix.

While driving on a straight roadway the right rear wheel hub broke off of the rear axle. This caused the truck to turn to the left out of control. The truck crossed over the center line while the entire wheel/tire separated from the wheel well of the truck. The wheel/tire traveled another 50 yards off the roadway into a field. The truck struck a hill on the other side of the road deploying the side airbags due to impact with a road sign. The wheel hub/axle was inspected by a mechanic and the insurance company. The wheel hub was determined to be a defective part by the mechanic and insurance company. The wheel hub had noticeable rust where the axle was connected to the wheel hub. The truck was totaled and removed by the insurance company.

First problem, My air bag cover is cracked and the air bag comes out, I Took my vehicle to the dealership before the 36000 miles, when still has bumper to bumper warranty, they replaced the air bag cover for free, after several months my air bag cover broke again, I contacted the dealership, their answer it was that I have to pay for the repairs, air bags are defective because the cover broke by it self, Second problem, My transmission have a Rough, harsh and erratic shifting some times have Hesitation between gears and Gear getting stuck while shifting, I was merging in to the highway when I tried to speed up my transmission Lose all power and return the shift to first gear, almost get hit by another vehicle because I couln'd speed up, My vehicle stay irresponsive for several seconds, then I hit the gas pedal to the end and the engine rev up then I got my transmission back, That happened to me twice in one day, I'm scared to drive my pick up, When I get home I realized that Ford have a lawsuit against this 10 speed transmission

On my 2019 Ford F-150 with ~68,000 miles The 10R80 10 speed transmission was jumping out of gear while going down of the road IN 10TH GEAR GOING 58-65MPH, having to feather the gas to get it back into gear. Also during take off from a stop light the gears would slam into gear and sometimes not even go into gear causing me to not only stop traffic but abruptly change the speed of my truck which has almost caused multiple accidents. Thankfully I did not have my family in my vehicle during some of these "Close Encounters." This is an active problem with Ford and already multiple attempts for lawsuits with little traction. Someone is going to DIE and it is going to be on FORD for not addressing this issue. I brought it to Lookout Ford in Morehead City, NC. and they said it was a bad VALVE BODY, and they are seeing them more frequently by the day with ALL FORDS WITH 10R80 transmission. Finally I went to get my valve body replaced at Torque Transmission in New Bern, N.C. and got sent to Lincoln Dealership to get the new part flashed and calibrated. Once Torque Transmission picked up my truck from Lincoln, the issue was not resolved and gave him issues driving all the way back to the shop. After Torque did more research and reading Ford Bulletins they had to replace my 10R80 Transmission with a brand new one from FORD Dealership. due to my truck being over 68,000 miles I am out of pocket, but there are cases of this happening to vehicles with 20K miles all the way to 60K miles. I have the FORD Connect app and can provide picture of the numerous notifications on when my truck had a failure of gear, loss of power at stop light and during driving. Notification is called, "POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCE POWER" I HAVE 14 NOTIFICATIONS TIME STAMPED OVER A PERIOD OF A MONTH. SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IF NOT RESOLVED. PLEASE DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS, THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND VERY IMPORTANT. JUST GOOGLE THE 10R80 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND IT WILL PROVE IT

I bought this truck new on the dealers lot with an extended warranty that goes up to 75k miles. I brought the truck back to the dealer 3 separate occasions telling them of hard shifting, lagging in shifting and it missing shifts. All three times they “reflashed” the tranny. Every time within about 10k miles or even less it would get worse and worse. Now that I am at 82k miles I took it back for the same issue and they have finally determined an issue with “Slipped sleeve in CDF cylinder assembly”. The service tech told me they have been having other F150 model trucks coming in with the same issue. I spoke with Ford telling them that the dealer has record of me bringing the truck to them several times before my warranty ran out for the same issue, but they refuse to help me.

The vehicle is a 10 speed automatic, while driving the vehicle when it gets to about 4th gear, the transmission slips. This vehicle was purchased brand new and has only 64,000 miles on it. The transmission slips and at lower speeds when the transmission slips and hesitates before it shifts to another gear, this is a safety issue as while the vehicle semi stalls causes the potential to be rear ended by a trailing vehicle. This vehicle manufacturer should stop selling these transmissions that have serious issues with them. Surely when you purchase a brand new vehicle you don’t expect to have any problems with it at four years into ownership.

The transmission has failed, yes, it is currently at a Ford Dealership. Hard shifting and not shifting or accelerating. As stated above the vehicle is at a Ford dealership service department. The Ford dealership technician has inspected and diagnosed. Dash light that said see manual. Symptoms started beginning of July at which point I drove vehicle sparingly as it continued to get worse.

The separator plate between the transmission and engine has corroded to the point of interference with the torque converter. Safety problems associated with this could cause sudden loss of power or control while driving. The dealership says this has been a common repair when being inspected for the rattling sound coming under the vehicle which was the only indicator. Repairs are on hold at this time but will be replaced soon.

My 2019 F150 with the 10 speed transmission has several issues that I believe affect the safety and reliability of the vehicle: 1) The transmission shifts very roughly into 5th gear. The shifts are so rough that I suspect the other components of the drive train are being placed under unnecessary strain. 2) When moving forward at idle the truck will on occasion surge forward. This is a potential safety issue if it were to occur in traffic. 3) When moving forward at slow speeds the transmission periodically slips as if it was shifted into neutral. My local dealership "flashed" the software for the transmission but it did not correct the problem. I returned the truck to the dealership and they've now had it for 2 months with no resolution to the problem.

I purchased the vehicle, new, in May 2019. Currently have approximately 60,000 miles, the majority of which are highway miles. At about 50,000 miles, I noticed severe "jerking", "slippage", "stalling" of the transmission(10-speed automatic). The transmission slippage/jerking was especially noticeable when automatically shifting between gear ranges 3-6. The slippage was also noticeable between gear ranges 8-10. I also noticed that when not accelerating (and essentially coasting), the transmission disengaged entirely (in the 20-35 mph range, or gear 3-5) and when I tried to accelerate, there was a 2-3 second delay period before the transmission engaged. This really troubled me, as in some cases, I felt like I did not have control of the car (e.g. the ability to speed up immediately, to avoid a road hazard). I did ask the the last Ford dealer (when I had an oil change in mid-June 2023, at about 55,000 miles) if there were any default codes related to the transmission. They stated "no" even though I told them about the issue. They did not offer to investigate further. Since that time, I have driven another 4-5k miles, and have an oil change scheduled next week. I informed the dealer, this time, that I want a transmission expert to review the problem. I'll know more on August 31st.

Transmission will not shift correctly between gears. When you first shift from start up it will make a hard clunk noise. Truck will start jumping and once it’s done the wrench light comes on. At one point I couldn’t get it to go into reverse and I had to shut the truck off and restart it to get it into reverse.

Between 3 and 4 gear on a 10 speed transmission. Accelerating on a cold start or going up a hill after start. Has a lunging gear shift and hard shift then after and catching the correct gear. Have taken the truck in multiple times to ford. All they do is just reset the transmission. I’ve had issues on the rentals they give me of the same vehicle. New issue is between 7-3 when braking hard from 60+. Vehicle lunges forward and can hear transmission grinding and having issues switching gears thereafter.

Transmission not shifting smoothly, it lurches into gear when accelerating or decelerating. There have been times where I’ve almost had power failure. My safety was put at risk when trying to merge out onto the highway across traffic and my truck would not shift out of first gear and felt like it was about to stall out before finally kicking into 3rd gear…and I could have been hit by oncoming vehicles. This has happened numerous times and now it occurs every time i am shifting out of first gear. I’m taking the vehicle in to be inspected at automation Ford on July 18th 2023. The vehicle has not been inspected by police, or insurance. There have been 0 warning lights or check engine lights to date. Start date was approximately 04-2022 and it’s gotten way worse and it is now 07-2023

Upon cold start up their is a significant rattling for 5-10 seconds, Started around 60K miles. when driving there is a lag in performance for first few miles. Consistent with Cam Phaser failure with F150 3.5 eco boost engine. This problem has been reported to Ford and CSP 21N03 explains the exact problem. Ford claim my VIN isn't covered under this Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03.

In March of 2022, Ford launched a TSB campaign for its F150 model trucks spanning a few years. The TSB was for a Cam Phaser issue and the company offered an extended mileage warranty with a tiered coverage chart based on your current miles while experiencing the problem. The campaign ended January of 2023. I own a 2019 F-150 and my truck began having the issues under the TSB in April of 2023. When I brought the issue to the Ford dealership, I was then informed of the open TSB (TSB's are not made public, but rather opened up for mechanics use to easily diagnose an issue). I was told that due to my mileage as well as missing the 'expiration of the campaign' by just a few months, I would have to cover the cost of the repair. After battling with Ford, I was able to gain some assistance from the dealership towards the cost of the repair. My truck was dropped off to a Ford dealership on May 8th, 2023 and is still there awaiting parts for this KNOWN issue. There are roughly 40,000 parts for this issue that are on backorder. I was updated yesterday that the parts are still 2-3 weeks out from being available. Not having my vehicle for close to 3 months now and still being expected to pay $750 for a repair with an active TSB is absurd. At what point does this issue constitute a recall? I am writing and requesting that this issue be a known recall to the affected trucks. For a consumer to have to pay for a cost that is out of their control, and a known/acknowledged issue by the dealer/company, especially with a 40,000 part backorder-- there should be no reason myself, or anyone else should have to pay any cost to fix the problem. Please let me know what can or needs to be done further to try and have this TSB converted to a recall on these affected F-150s.

10 speed transmission problem where the torque converter is not engaging the transmission and it does not downshift.feels like driving over rumble strips and feels underpowered. This vehicle has been to the dealership 4 times for this problem and they keep telling me there is nothing wrong

Beginning 3 months ago, intermittently during in-town traffic driving, the vehicle will shut off. It happened about once a month. Three weeks ago when it did this, it said Low Charging System, so I took it to the dealer where purchased it. The Alternator tested Low, so it was replaced. Two weeks later, it died at a stoplight again & at Idle, then the Dash Message said Disengage Auto-Shut Off and Restart Engine. I called the dealer where purchased it & they came and got it. They tested it for a couple days & also had several people drive it, and they said it did fine with the Auto-Shut Off Turned On. Well this afternoon I drove it local around my own town, and it's still runs rough. It idles rough and is acting like it wants to die again at stoplights. I only way to be comfortable driving it is with the Auto-Shut-Off Disabled. In traffice at a redlight that turns green, and if you're stalled out, it's going to cause a rear-end collision. Not to mention it's hard on the battery and alternator having to keep restarting at intermittent intervals in traffic. The dealer said they drove it around their lot area, however, it doesn't do it unless drive it for 45 minutes or an hour. When discussed this with 3 area Ford Dealers, they all said it's going to be hard to find. There's no Check Engine Light or any sort of Code that can be used. They also stated it's probably something small causing it. One specific dealer stated that something else is causing this issue, and until that is found and fixed, it's going to keep doing it. The dealer that's been handling this and purchased from, did a Factory Reset on the PCM.

2019 Ford F-150 crew cab with 047763.1 miles on it while returning from Vermont has started with sever and harsh shifting at various speed, this results in a loud CLUNK followed with a hard and swift gear change. This has happened at vaious speeds from 15 mph to 75-80 mph. It feels like the transmission is about to drop/explode which could cause an accident on an interstate roadway. Spoke with Larson Ford service advisor who is aware of the 10R80 transmission issues and they will check my truck on June 7th, 2023. There has not been any warning lights/check engine lights/messages as of yet

Transmission fails to shift and truck fails to accelerate. It's very dangerous crossing the intersection when it occurs.

Transmission bucks and skips gears in the 800-2000rpm range. When acceleration applied in the rpm range given, it hesitates and then lurches forward . It also 'jumps' in a forward motion when starting in park on a level surface. I had the transmission software flashed by Ford last year which helped for 2-3 months only. It is getting worse. Ford now wants to charge to refresh the software again since the truck is out of warranty by 6 months.

Two instances of severe loss of transmission function occurred at highway speeds within the last 5 months. The first instance occurred on flat terrain (in Michigan) with no load in the bed of the truck. The second instance occurred in hilly terrain (Tennessee) with about 500 lbs. in the bed of the truck. In both instances the transmission started cycling/jumping between first and tenth gears and several gears in between. This cycling was very fast and repetitive. The driver was forced to quickly decelerate (remove foot from accelerator peddle, apply brakes) to maintain control and pull off the highway. It was noted in both instances that the transmission temperature had shot up to around 220 degrees F. The normal temperature for the transmission in this truck at highway speeds has been observed to be around 190 degrees F. In the second incident, the wiper functionality was lost; the wipers would only work at the highest speed. (The functionality of the wipers in the first incident was not determined.) In both instances the engine was shut off to allow the transmission temperature to cool down to within the range of 190 degress F. Once the the transmission cooled to this range, the truck could be driven because the transmission functioned properly. Also, proper wiper function was restored.

I tried to have my transmission fluid changed 2019 F150 5.0L with a 10R80 (10-speed automatic) transmissions. The shop was Goss garage in Crofton MD and they would not take liability to service it because the vehicle has a Technical Service Bulletin outstanding from Ford, TSB-21-2315 and I tried to call Ford Koons in Annapolis and have not got a return call. I chatted with Shakura for 20 minutes and she brought up two other TSBs and told me to talk to a dealer. I have a copy of the TSB and it looks rather involved so I’m worried why all this run around.

Constant transmission issues where the shifting between certain gears was not operating correctly. The dealership performed a number of what they called “Adaptive Relearns” to try and reset the computer but it only helped for a short period before the shifting went back into the same format where it would shift improperly. I’ve been having the same issue since before the Warranty was up. I finally made then drive my truck to check the issue and they agreed it was in fact most likely a mechanical issue. I received a quotation for $6k to remove and disassemble the transmission to address a possible sleeve in the CDF drum that may have moved. Now my truck is out of Warranty so it’s out of pocket to fix it. Had this been addressed properly when I brought it in originally, it would have been fixed under Warranty.

truck when approaching intersection trucks transmission goes into neutral. Causing a safety hazard This problem has been in shop 3 times with no fix also called fords main number suppled by dealer with no help from them

while driving the transmission had a harsh engagement when shifting gears and when leaving from a stop later the same day the vehicle would no move when applying the acceleration pedal, then the transmission engaged after a few seconds. The transmission or Transmission Control Module (TCM) needs to be addressed.

Transmission has Almost failed and is exhibiting jerking, thud sounds, and causing small whip lash affects. Transmission was serviced a year ago and "reprogrammed" the timing. The last month the transmission started experiencing hard shifting, jerking and missing gears. I took it into the dealer again to diagnose and was told I will need a new transmission at 140k miles.

10 Speed transmission has rough shifting. Clunks, delays, gets stuck in gears and hesitates. Have had the transmission reprogrammed, valve body replaced, and other repairs from ford dealer. Most recently had a new transmission installed and all the same problems after 2000 miles if not worse than the old transmission.

After owning the vehicle for about a year to a year and half transmission developed jerking in 3rd gear occasionally. Took the vehicle to the dealership while under warranty and was advised multiple times that this was normal. Now occasionally there is a sudden reduction in power to the wheels and it almost seems like the vehicle is not shifting at all. This has happened more than once and unfortunately to sporadic to provide an actual date

Automatic transmission malfunctioned. Loss of power between 3 (third) and 4 (forth) gears. When upshifting from 3 to 4 it will experience a loss of power, however it is not consistent and seems to happen randomly. Likewise while downshifting from 4 (forth) to 3 (third) the transmission will clunk and lock-up for a 1/2 sec while the engine rpm tries to match the downshift. This has caused a loss of traction from the rear wheels while decelerating when shifting from 4 to 3. Again it is not consistent and seems to happen randomly. Vehicle has been in for complaint of these issues and dealer noted it is normal and transmission adaptive shift table needed to be reset. However this did not fix the issue. Issue is still present. There are no warning lamps or fault codes. These issues began at about 6,000 miles. I am not at over 25,000 with no resolution. Vehicle details 2019 Ford F150 3.5L EcoBoost 4x4 Lariat with the 10R80 (10 speed) transmission. Other symptoms include transmission shifting harshly and erratically between all gears, causing the vehicle to jerk, lunge, again clunk and hesitate between gears especially 3 and 4.

My 2019 F-150 has the 10-speed transmission which shifts erratically. Driving down the interstate the transmission goes into a "neutral mode" which greatly reduces the speed, thus nearly causing me to be rear-ended. When this happens, I've noticed the gear selection lights on the dash go from 10th gear to 1st gear during the "neutral mode". This has happened on numerous occasions. The last couple of times this has happened a "gear" light will display on the cluster. Shifting between 1-3 , 4-6, and 7-9 seems to shift very hard and erratic, sometimes missing gears. The truck is presently at the dealership, but it has been acting up for a month. The dealership was booked and couldn't get it in until 5/1/2023

Truck has the 10 speed transmission. Has many intermittent issues including: Slipping transmission when going into gear from cold start, jerky/clunking shifting, loss of power.

PowerTrain Malfunction Failed, notification on my vehicle appeared on 4/28/23, although I had been notifying dealer for 3 months prior the safety issue I was experiencing, and nearly got killed on a major interstate, on 4/26/23 my truck stalled as foot pedal would not work. Major safety of semi-trucks and other vehicles on main I30 Interstate were trying to avoid hitting me due to my vehicle abruptly downshifts from 10- to 1st gear. Foot pedal inoperable during that time. Yes, the dealer and Ford on 4/28/23 provided me a rental vehicle after my near collision experience until they figure out what to do, replace transmission or rebuild, unresolved. No the vehicle had no warnings, but did have symptons, which I took to dealer and they ran a diagnostic, and found nothing, they said there are TSBs out there with the downshifting issues, and stalling, jerking of transmission. But they said just wait it out initially, and I had to call Ford Corporate relations and raise the roof, after I nearly got killed by semi trucks from being stuck in a major interstate highway. December 2022 when it began, the dealer kept doing a reset, which seemed to make it worse, then when I told them how unsafe it was they ignored me, until April 26th when I left a voice mail after nearly being killed. I demanded service as I have a warranty and they ignored the symptoms for so long. Multiple people could have been killed on the interstate when my truck stalled, I had to try and coast to the side of interstate as the truck foot pedal did not work after downshifting from 8 to 1.

Transmission clunks and lunges. Gets stuck in high gear and the truck loses power.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that at startup, she heard a rattling sound at the hood of the vehicle. The contact then stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The contact was unsure of any warning lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the PCM needed reprogramming with the 21B10 update. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started to shudder, and the vehicle stalled, without warning. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer where it was diagnosed that the Cam phaser, bolts, seal, engine valves, engine gasket, and crank shaft oil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the warranty had expired and advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 107,328.

Mileage: 107,328

After purchasing my 2019 Ford F150 equipped with a V8 engine I noticed a loud knocking or tapping noise coming from the engine and a large consumption of oil happening. With no visible leaks I was putting about 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil a month in the engine to keep it filled. Loosing that much oil so fast could cause the engine to experience a catastrophic engine failure at any driving speed causing danger to me, my family, or other drivers on the road. Not to mention the environmental impacts caused by the engine burning so much oil so fast in possibly thousand of trucks across the country. I scheduled service with a Ford dealership. I have taken the truck in twice to have it looked at. Dealership has performed several service bulletins on it but it is still making a knocking and tapping noise and using excess amounts of oil. I have been told by ford dealership that they are aware of the problem and unable to determine if, or when, problem will be able to be fixed. This seems unacceptable knowing the truck is still under factory warranty. I have looked for answers online and found this engine in 2018-2021 Ford F-150 trucks is causing the same problem for a HUGE amount of other Ford truck owners as well.

I’m experiencing loss of power hard jerking near miss collisions at cross traffic areas gears slipping

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while accelerating from a complete stop to 35 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and jolted while shifting into gear. Additionally, the contact stated that while at a complete stop and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle revved. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuel was contaminated and a gasoline additive was added; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000. The contact stated that when the transmission issues started, the local dealer informed the contact that they were short staffed and could not provide a loaner vehicle. After taking the vehicle to a second dealer, it was found that the transmission needed to be replaced.

Mileage: 80,000

Truck transmission bangs when shifting between gears. Also slips out of gear at random intervals while driving.

I got the truck with 10,00 miles and currently have 47,000 miles. I have been having oil burning issues since the beginning, but it has gotten worse. When I was adding the oil myself before having the dealership do it I was having to add almost 4 qts per 5-6 thousand miles. I have been taking it to the dealership every 1000 miles for oil consumption test. Typically, my oil burns over 1/2 qt per 1000 miles so the dealership claims. I have also claimed about harsh shifting and clunking noises. Most recently I took it in for the harsh shifting of the transmission and 4 wheel drive while the did the oil test. They reflashed the transmission and topped off the oil. The dealership then forgot to put the oil cap back on (I didn't think I had to check their work) the next day after a short drive there was oil all over my engine, electrical systems, battery, suspension and underbody because of the missing cap. They took the truck back and then claimed only a 1/2 qt was gone. The dealership after a few days tells me it is all cleaned and ready to go. I got the truck with oil all over the place. So they keep the truck yet again, few days later I get the truck back and my truck is shifting worse in some ways now than before the flash. Today I had to take the truck in for an engine light about the catalytic converter failing. While they had the truck there it then gave a bunch of codes of powertrain body control all related to lack of power and powertrain failure. displaying a bunch of red lights including a gear wrench on the instrument cluster. These only appeared after the tech scan the first code. The dealership now has my truck yet again and have said it will be at least a few days.

When driving this vehicle at slow speeds when cold there is a groning sound or growling sound coming from front differential. At high speed it gets lowder but is less noticeable because of tires. When coming to stoplights or stop sign slowing down considerably alot of moaning, groning noise comes from left side. The vehicle will then have a slight pull to the right. Its been at dealership twice second time still there as they can't seem to duplicate the issue but will not drain the front end to see how much metal in oil. I have videos of the noise and there our several complaints on the ford forum with YouTube videos of exact noise. I see that 2020-2022 has issued a recall because of defective pinion. I think the recall should take into the effect 2018 on as they are the same differential. As a mechanic for 35 years from ford retired I believe the issue is either 1 the bearing race is not seated and when cold you hear the moaning groning because the bearing race is spinning in the aluminum housing or the pinon bearing set are pitted for some reason. You can feel a slight vibration under the floor board when it's doing it which leads me to believe if the bearing locks up the front driveshaft will go through transfer case and vehicle will end up out of control. Thank you

Transmission shifting erratically with symptoms of lunging, missing gears, not engaging reverse, downshifting hard, and downshifting while accelerating. Symptoms worse between 3rd and 6th gear and almost not drivable right after starting on a cold morning (20deg F or less). Ford has reprogrammed ECU but it seems worse and has developed clunking noise somewhere in driveshaft or rear differential.

The truck was purchased used in October 2022 with 82k miles on it, but it appeared to be operating fine from the dealership. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started hard shifting and also hesitating between shifts. I took the vehicle into a Ford dealership and they test drove it saying it was normal, but also refused to check the PCM to see if the calibration was the most current from Ford. On February 27, 2023, as I was passing a slow moving vehicle on a highway the gears starting acting erratically, jumping from 8th up to 10th, then dropping all power (while showing that it was in 1st gear on the dash), then suddenly hard downshifting in the pass, almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle in the pass. After completing the pass, a "wrench" light came on, so I stopped at the nearest place I could to see what it was saying. My FordPass app said it was a powertrain issue, but then as I restarted the truck, the wrench cleared. I was able to make the rest of the drive home, but with extra clunky and hard shifting. I've now taken the truck in for an inspection, but have been seeing online that this is a common problem, which is wildly unsafe of Ford to have not fixed this.

I was driving on the freeway at about 75 MPH. I wanted to pass another car, so I pressed the accelerator petal to 100% (floored it) and took my foot off the petal immediately because I changed my mind. Roughly 1 to 2 seconds after the inputs, the engine rev'd up to about 3000 rpm, and then changed gears, jerking my truck so violently I could have lost control. I was able to get the behavior to repeat for me, and next time I'm on the freeway I'll try to record it. It's possible I was in cruise control and in eco mode. I have been having many issues with the transmission, including some 'bucking', shuddering, harsh shifts, grinding noises, rattling noises, high-pitch whine, surging revolutions, stuck in gears to name a few.

My F-150 is currently inoperable and unable to be repaired due to TSB 22-2139, which is a fundamental issue with the 10 speed transmission. To summarize the issue, the transmission at certain times will not shift gears while driving, which is a significant safety hazard. My truck has been at a Ford dealership for close to 30 days now, and Ford is unable to provide an ETA on replacing the transmission. There is a current national backorder for the 10 speed transmission and no ETA in resolving it.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced rough idling with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the cam phaser needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: 21N03 - Supplement #3 (Cam Phaser Replacement) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

Mileage: 76,000

Automatic transmission shifts gears erratically. (1) Much delayed shifting from 1st gear to 3rd gear. (Also occurs at the following gear ratio changes: 3rd to 5th and 5th to 7th.) This stalls the acceleration of the vehicle for sufficient time so that a rear end collision can occur if the driver of vehicle behind is not vigilant. (2) While driving on a freeway at 65mph, the vehicle has lost acceleration while the transmission gear indicator shows random gear hunting (10, 7, 3, 1, 9...) and finally abruptly reengaging in a gear to allow forward power. This behavior results in vehicle speed, while in the high speed freeway lane, slowing from 65 to 30 and then slowly accelerating to a more appropriate speed once a gear reengaged. This condition was conducive to a rear end collision. Ford has no availability dates for either a replacement transmission or internal transmission parts so the vehicle is being diagnosed by an independent transmission repair shop. The vehicle may be inspected there if required. (Dealer has confirmed the odd shifting behavior.) Vehicle warning light occurred subsequent to the above behavior.

I was accelerating onto the interstate and just as I was about to merge onto the right lane the truck just all of sudden without warning shifted out of gear like it had been manually shifted to neutral. The engine of course revved up considerably and I of course lost speed immediately which thank the lord I did not have traffic that I was merging into that could have been really bad. It only happened that one time and has not happened since. I have had some really hard shifting going on but nothing like that.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted to first gear. The contact stated that the transmission was slipping. The contact stated that the gear shifter was stuck. Additionally, the contact stated that the transmission skipped first gear and shifted straight to third gear, and then shifted to tenth gear. The service wrench symbol was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the transmission needed to be replaced; the parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

When driving normal conditions from a stop to accelerate the truck completely loses power to drive and gears shift super hard in a jerking motion. When trying to accelerate onto highway from stop sign it will go to 15mph then the engine will rev and gear goes to 1 and then back to gear I was originally in but the whole time the truck does not accelerate in speed which pulling out onto highway can cause me to get rear ended as the highway I pull onto from my street is 2 lane 55mph highway. It does this at all speeds and now reverse only work when it is cold . I have videos there are to big to upload on this application form

purchased in 2019 a new 2019 f150-lariat under 60k miles 1st incident 1month after purchase Transmission lunged forward after it was in park almost throwing me off the truck running board while getting out. Ford Dallas service Dept.stated this was normal sent me away. A few months later took it back in the gears were shifting hard while driving and making a loud sound .Service Dept stated they could not hear or see any problem with the transmission-sent me away- Oct 2022 dropped it off transmission went from 10gear to 2nd gear on the highway. nearly got killed. 3 months later I received a call truck was ready. After driving off AGAIN transmission fluid was leaking on the exhaust and causing bad smoke on the highway the gears Again started to shift from 10gear to 2nd and 1st gear had to pull over off the highway. Dropped it off again at the nearest Ford which this time it stayed for another month and they stated it exhaust was cleaned up and they could not find a issue wrong with the transmission. I drove off AGAIN the transmission started leaking causing smoke while driving, Dropping gears on the highway and hitting hard. I NEARLY GOT killed on the highway because of transmission shifting down the way it is and smoke. As of today My truck is sitting in the driveway unable to drive due to faulty transmission . I will not put my family in this unsafe vehicle that Ford could do nothing to fix.

Gear slipping, harsh shifting, jerking, sudden acceleration or hesitation problems, and general loss of power.

The transmission will not reverse when cold. It goes into gear and moves less than a foot, then stops like it is in park. After switching between Drive and Reverse several times it functions normally. I was stuck blocking 2 lanes of traffic because of this. The transmission also finds a false neutral momentarily during acceleration. This has almost caused me several accidents while merging or pulling out onto traffic. Dealer could not reproduce when truck was warmed up. No warning lights illuminated. This is dangerous.

The 10 speed transition is overall very clunky and does not shift smoothly. Recently when driving up a slight incline around a turn, the truck abruptly downshifted due to the incline. I was only doing 25 mph but the road was slippery and the abrupt rough downshift caused the rear wheels to lose traction and truck rear end slide. This was very alarming as I did not expect such a forceful rough downshift. Had another vehicle been coming in the other lane, the rear end of my truck may have hit them. I have experienced this more than once, despite being very gentle on the accelerator so as not to force a hard downshift. Also, when shifting into reverse, the transmission takes very long to finally get into reverse. Need to be very careful not to pull in front of another vehicle before backing up because the transmission takes so long to get into reverse. If I step on the gas before reverse is found, then when the transmission gets into reverse with the accelerator pressed, the truck lurches backwards. I have a 2010 Toyota Sienna with a 6 speed transmission with almost 300,000 miles. It still shifts extremely smoothly and shifts into reverse within 1-2 seconds. It's night and day compared to the F150 10 speed transmission. In poor road conditions, I don't feel comfortable and always in control with this transmission. There are no error codes so I have not asked the Ford dealer to investigate. I also see many Ford owners having the same issues with no resolution coming from Ford.

2019 F150 with 65,000 miles on it, started having issues shifting gears. Was accelerating on the Freeway and jumped from 3rd to 8th gear losing all power and making all passengers jerk forward whipping our necks. Also, started to not go into the right gear after starting up in the morning; put the truck into drive and immediately went into 7th gear without releasing the break and the Powertrain Malfunction came on. Restarted the vehicle and put in drive and the transmission went to 4th gear, started driving and the Powertrain Malfunction light cleared and shifted somewhat normally other than hard shifting. Ford Dealership diagnosed the truck and stated that it needs a new Transmission already at 65,000 miles and they will not warranty it since it is already past 60,000 miles. A transmission should not be going out at 65,000 miles.

The 10 speed transmission in the truck slips into neutral during acceleration. I usually loose 2nd or 3rd gear. The engine RPM spikes to 4-5000 and the vehicle coasts to near stop before transmission grabs again. It can create a danger on highway acceleration ramps or at stop signs. It happens intermittently and has been going on for 9 months or so.

The transmission has is constantly slipping in an out of gear along with hard shifts that could potentially cause whiplash with how hard the gears shift and grab. Also truck slips in and out of gear when going on an incline resulting in vehicle no longer able to move and started to row backwards even though the truck said it was in 3rd gear. These transmission issues seem very prevalent with the 10r80 ford 10 speed transmissions. I also experienced a situation where the truck went into a limp mode and had no power and almost lost all ability to steer and stop the truck due to the transmission issue.

Numerous transmission problems of slipping and hard shifting, then stuck in lower gear, can not upshift to higher gears. Have taken for warranty service 3 times now. 1st time caused me to be stranded in remote desert area on one of hottest days of year with wife and child in car with no tow because of COVID/passenger restrictions. Issue is intermittent not constant. But once issue begins it doesn't not go away until taken in for service. Not safe to be driving on road with these issues.

Numerous Intermittent transmission problems - hard shift, slippage, stuck in lower gear.

The truck skips gears when speeding up causing the vehicle to stall and then slam into gear creating a whiplash affect. This is particularly dangerous when trying to pull on to a road with oncoming traffic as the vehicle stalls before getting into gear which could result in a wreck. While decreasing speed the vehicle skips gears again creating a loud clunking noise, as if the transmission is going to fall out of the bottom of the truck and jolts the passenger.

This vehicle's transmission has been discussed over the last few years referencing its "harsh shifting" and seems to not work correctly. Specifically in gears 2-5, the vehicle fails to shift properly which then doesnt allow the vehicle to move appropriately. We have incidents where the vehicle will shut off suddenly asking for us to turn off and turn on the vehicle. Our safety is in harms way each time the vehicle fails to shift properly and Ford fails to remedy the transmission (10R80)

Just purchased the truck less than a month ago, with 32k miles on it. On a trip to PA. The vehicles transmission started to shift hard and not downshift at all, and or shift into neutral. I made it to a cord dealership and had to leave it sit a week for repairs. Upon picking it up I was told that the model transmissions have a known issue and there isnt a fix, all they could do was drain the fluid and reprogram the computer. I drove approx 200 miles and lost the same functions in the transmission.

10 Speed transmission makes loud clunking noises when shifting. Also some times when you start vehicle is make a Loud bang. Dealer knows there is a problem but acts like nothing is wrong because they do not have a fix. Tried to reprogram tranny but does the same. I have complained everytime I go in for a oil change. I don’t think they have any qualified techs to try and resolve the problem. If you read on line several people are experiencing the same problem.

I purchased a 2019 Ford F150 2.7l Ecoboost with 10speed transmission in May 2022 and it only had 19,000 miles on it. When I first bought it, it seemed to drive fine, but less than 3000 miles later the gears started shifting really hard, especially 3rd through 5th gear. I took it to my local dealer and they reset the PCM module and said to drive it because it has an adaptive transmission that it would have to relearn driving habits. Well, shortly after I was on the interstate doing 75mph on cruise control in 10th gear, the truck shifted all the way down to 1st gear, went to limp mode, then revved rpms and went back to 8th gear then wrench came on the dash light. This truly could've been a bad situation and possible accident if I wasn't able to get over to safety lane. I took it to the dealer the next week and they reset the computer again and cleaned valve body. The vehicle still has hard shifts between 3rd and 5th gears, although not quiet as harsh. Ford needs to issue a recall on the 2019 Ford F150s with the 10r80 transmissions or figure it out soon. I'm afraid there is going to be a serious accident, if one hasn't happened already, if these transmissions are not fixed soon. Several states already have class action lawsuits about this particular transmission.

The transmission on my 2019 Ford F150 drops from seventh gear to first gear and out of gear on the freeway which causes a health and safety hazard. On the freeway I was almost rear ended when I lost all power to the truck. I have taken it to Ford. The first two times they said it was a computer glitch. The third time I was told to let the truck warm up. This all started on Sep 11, 2021 and has just gotten worse over time.

It present at this moment engine light on and off all time, it had a power train damaged, I bought a new transmission 5 month ago, at this time it has deactivated adaptative Cruise control, automatic emergency brakes, forward collision warning, and it has a power train problem again.

Vehicle stalls by traffic light or in the middle of intersection after driven for 20 min at highway speeds. Dealer couldn't figure out the issue. Feel unsafe for my wife to drive the truck with kids inside is vehicle shuts off in the middle of intersection.

The vehicle has a 10 speed transmission which is designed to skip gears in a smooth fashion while accelerating. The transmission has been "chirping" when shifting from 1st to 3rd and very hard shifting from 3rd to 4th or 5th gear and also from 6th to 7th gear. Now the transmission is often not engaging and slipping out of gear when shifting out of 3rd and into 4th/5th and simply disengaging and going into a neutral state. This causes the vehicle to lose power and it will not accelerate. This is a very dangerous situation especially when attempting to merge onto the highway, turning left or any time traffic is behind me and the transmission disengages. This has occured on three separate occasions from 9/12/22 to 9/16/22. I have attempted to have the vehicle inspected by a Ford dealer and the earliest appointment is Jan 3rd 2023!! Another Ford dealer stated I could drop off the vehicle and the diagnostics check would take 3-5 days and they do not provide a loaner vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to or during the transmission slipping out of gear.

I am getting engine codes that say my cam shaft sensors are bad. I replaced cam shaft sensors but the engine continually loses power, shifts hard, lurches and unexpectedly downshifts. Yesterday, complete loss of power on the highway and I was forced to put transmission into Manual and shift manually to get to a safe location. Placing truck in Reverse from Park causes a loud clunk and jerk backwards. I do not know at any given time if I will be able to safely pull out into traffic.

Intermittent & hard shifting whith increasing & decreasing speeds. Downshifts hard. Jumps multiple gears when slowing to stops. Dealership reset software saying that's all that can be done. Not excepting anymore transmission work. Same issues. Continuing issue since purchase 4/20 w/ 13k miles. Currently have 31k miles and experiencing the same issue.

Hard transmission shifting. Clunking noise when going from park to drive or reverse. Slow to downshift when driving up hills and causes the engine to shudder sometimes.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while staring at the vehicle, he noticed an abnormal noise coming from the engine. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact received notification Manufacturer Communications: 21B10 in May of 2022. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer and had the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) updated. The contact stated that several days later, he noticed an abnormal noise coming from the engine. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and made an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

Mileage: 45,000

Vehicle was purchased 2020 I am the original owner Typewriter noise and power train hard shift noise Brakes let go Caused me an accident Engine or transmission issue Slip and drag feel since I bought it

Truck has harsh shifting transmission, loss of power at times, jumping from gear to gear, decelerating for no reason. Dealer diagnosed transmission problem as below: CDF cylinder sleeve slipped 1/4" causing C clutch teflon seal to blow out of direct support seal groove. Planetary containment cylinder gouged from F clutch friction teeth. Dealer states they will repair transmission. Truck has only 49K miles and is only 3 years old. This 10 speed transmission has recurrent problems with many customers and should be recalled and fixed.

When accelerating the transmission will grind in neutral. Let of gas and will finally shift in gear. Happened 2 years ago when I bought it new. Now 3 times in the last 2 months. Ford dealers where I live don't have transmission mechanics. Shifts all over the place and has metal rattling noise. Unsafe to drive with just lest then 30k miles.

Driving back from, San Antonio, Tx., to Millsap, Tx., in my 2019 Ford F-150 truck, I experienced down shifting and up shifting hard. It was making driving very difficult and dangerous. My Ford App alerted me that there was a Powertrain Malfunction. The little wrench light came on the dash indicating Powertrain problems. I was very concerned for my safety. I have turned it into, Southwest Ford, in, Hudson Oaks, Texas. I was not told that this was an issue with this year model, nor have I received anything in the mail about it. The Ford Dealership above was where I bought the truck and all the oil changes, ect., have been done. I have researched this problem and have come across a class action lawsuit that describes what happened with my truck. Ford has not notified me to this problem. What else should I do to resolve this?

On a recent road trip, I had a break in traffic to get onto the road I need to get on to but I had to give it a little more gas to get up to speed to not cause the oncoming traffic to evade crashing into me or jamming on their brakes. When I did so, the vehicle paused then there was a big clunk then it shifted into gear and did its thing without incident. Unfortunately, I experienced it several more times when trying to merge onto the highway on short onramps. I searched online for the problem as this was something new to me and realized that it is very common with Ford F150 trucks that have the 10R80 transmissions.

My 2019 F-150 with a 10 speed transmission shifts hard between 3rd and 4th gear, 4th and 5th gear. The hard shifting between these gears is for both acceleration and deceleration. The hard shifting is kind of like a slam between gears. The problem seems to be getting worse. It used to only happen occasionally (5,000 miles) and now happens almost daily (23,000 miles). The truck has only 23,000 miles on it.

10R80 transmission and ECM/TCM malfunction causing hard jerking shifts and stalling. Vehicle will not accelerate when engine is not at temperature which could lead to a major accident.

I was pulling away for a stop sign and the transmission didn’t engage. The rpm’s rose but it wouldn’t move. My Ford Pass sent a message saying I had a power train failure. Shutting it down and restarting got it to move but still had a tendency to slip. I drove slowly 1 mile to a Ford dealer and then the truck wouldn’t engage at all. The truck had to be towed My son’s Explorer had a similar failure earlier this year.

I had a problem with rough shifting from new but it continued to get worse. The dealer reset the electronics hoping to improve but it didn't help. I left on a trip and after a few hundred miles I received a powertrain failure warning. Trying to complete my trip the transmission would fail to pull, jerk hard during shifts causing it to be unsafe to drive. It eventually stopped completely .

Powertrain Malfunction ,reduce power , gear will shift very hard at first and when your on Highway and in 10 gear it will drop to first gear and you will feel like you got hit from behind very dangerous situation couldn’t travel with the kids and wife in the truck and it’s confirmed by Athen ford in Athens GA where I brought this truck brand new in 2019 transition failed on that and my truck is in shop since February 15 2021 at the dealer ship still not fix.I need help

The transmission started shifting down and up uncontrollably while traveling down the highway at 75 MPH. It would bounce between 9 and 10 gear and then down to 5 and 6, all within seconds. Was not towing anything, and it’s not the first time it’s happened. A wrench icon appeared, saying “see manual”. Transmission temp showed 240 degrees. Within 5 minutes we’d pulled over and turned vehicle off. As we were slowing down exiting freeway, gear shifting was extremely pronounced.

I was making a left turn onto a busy highway on March 29th, and my truck shut off. A message appeared on the screen that said Auto start/stop shift to P, then restart engine. A battery and wrench symbol appeared. I almost was t-boned as a result of the malfunction.\ I bought the vehicle at Causeway Ford in Manahawkin with 62,000 miles and have only had it for a month. I took vehicle there for repair on March 30th. The dealership claimed they performed a hard reset and was able to correct the issue. I had the vehicle for 12 days since, and the issue reoccured almost causing another accident. I am furious.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted to first gear without warning. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on three occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle made abnormal rattling sounds. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle; however, the failure remained. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the failure was related to a manufacturer recall 21B10 and the VIN was included. The dealer updated the PCM to the latest calibration; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer twice where it was diagnosed that an unknown part including two gaskets needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the rearview camera would frequently activate independently. The contact stated that the failure had increased in severity and the vehicle would not start after several attempts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,234.

The Ford 10R80 Transmission is extremely clunky, unsafe, and unreliable. Me, among tens of thousands of others have the exact same problems with them and Ford ignores and disregards them and the safety hazards they create. Your form does not allow for multiple instances or dates. This is/has been a consistent issue form the purchase of the vehicle, to the new transmission I now have to put into it under 100k miles.

My Ford F-150 is a ten-gear truck. For the past several months, my truck gears don't shift, won't stay in gear, and most recently, won't go into gear i.e. I couldn't put my truck in reverse. As I'm driving, I will experience loud bangs and shudders randomly and without warning. My car has 70k miles on it, has not been in an accident, and has been regularly maintained. I took my card to the Ford dealership to address the issue and was told it had to do with a computer issue. Whatever they did has made it worse. I know there is a class-action lawsuit pending over this very issue in Pennsylvania (I live in California) and my truck is no longer safe to drive, as I fear it will slip into gear and possibly cause an accident.

Transmission make erratic gear changes at highway speeds from 10th gear to 2nd gear just for a split second then back to 10th. no warning. Loss of gas pedal in passing lane to overtake a slower vehicle throttle does not respond you have to fall back try to get back in right lane until the computer decides to give you back control usually about 20 sec. Also pushes transmission fluid out of vent tube on transmission.

Transmission shifting hard. Slipping. Unusual hard shifts that almost stall the vehicle

While traveling down road at 50MPH, vehicle suddenly lost power and would not respond to inputs from accelerator narrowly avoiding being rear-ended by following traffic. Transmission shift irregularities have plagued my vehicle since the beginning as it hesitates to shift then shifts hard causing whiplash like effect. Other times it randomly downshifts and will not respond to throttle inputs, creating an unsafe driving condition. In addition it will surge/lurch ahead without throttle input causing the need to break to avoid collisions. The vehicle currently has 12,227 miles on the odometer, owned for 18 months, purchased new. Has been brought into service on three separate occasions for this issue just in the last 7 months. Transmission is now being replaced as Ford can not determine the cause of the transmission failure. Class action lawsuit of this 10R80 transmission is currently pending. The NHTSA should get involved before someone is injured or killed. My wife or child will not ride in the vehicle as this transmission renders the vehicle unsafe.

10 speed transmission has trouble shifting in most gears and has become a safety issue in traffic. I have taken the truck back to the dealer once already and they made the problem worse. I am attempting to get the truck back to the dealer again. I have found many complaints and articles about F150's with the 10 speed transmission having issues. In fact, I've read there are class action lawsuits against Ford for issues with their 10 speed transmission. To date, my dealership has not acknowledged there is an issue with the transmission.

The vehicle has a 10 speed transmission. the transmission does not shift correctly, stalls between gears which causes a safety issue for persons driving behind my vehicle, also in intersections and merging into highway traffic. there are no warnings, no dash lights. The transmission simply does not shift. Manufacturer has not been able to correct the issue. This is a low mileage truck, 13,000 miles, it's truly a dangerous situation

seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism not adequately restrain The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat Transmission shifts extremely hard. It clunks most of the time when I turn the vehicle on. Often, when I shift from park to drive the trunk lurches forward even with my foot pressed down all the way on the break. It's in the ford dealer right now and all they can find is low transmission fluid. Although I've never had a warning light or anything on before. dropping from 10th gear to 5th gear when cruise is set and accelerator is pressed Truck will set advanced traction control warning off and slam so hard into 5th gear you are destructed looking to see if you were in a accident.. I have videos that were provided to Ford Motor Company and have had in 2 Ford dealership s 3 times for repairs.Ford Motor Company has 2 engineer cases opened on truck the second case they told dealership it was my fault with the abrupt shifting slamming and traction control warning at 72 mph on interstate. Ford refuses to address the safety issue. It is a hazard to me and passengers in my vehicle as well as the motoring public. Ford motor company has been notified they can assume liability if I am in a accident and someone is injured due to their negligence or refusal to fix defect. Truck has had issues since around 3500 on the odometer it now has 16,567 miles currently.This as well as any other erratic shifting complaints with said 10R180 should be fully investigated and taken seriously because it will and I am sure has contributed to crashes!!!! The vehicle has the technology package which allows you to start /stop the vehicle with an app in your phone. I assume the motor has bluetooth attached to it. The problem is that when your driving the vehicle will just shut down. Once this happens you have to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the engine.

The truck started hesitating with acceleration at times, shifting hard in low gears and high gears often. Took it in and pcm update was done issue is still the the very next day I started driving it again. This all started around 20000 miles or so. Going to take it back again for same issue of hard shifting at low speeds and now the steering wheel shakes at speeds between 20-25 mph. Frustrating to pay over $60,000 for a new vehicle and have issues within 20,000 miles and I have been only a Ford owner for over 15 years.

The collision warning appears random and not even close to a vehicle. I’m Alamo experience problems with the power train (truck jerks) and not other problems. I have been having the same problems since 2020. My truck is at the dealership and now Ford engineers are involved because the trucks has multiple codes and unable to figure out the problem. My truck has been at the dealership since May 17-June 1st and June 7 to current.

Rough shifting into 5th and 8th gear under load (acceleration) and rough "clanky' shift into 9th gear while de-celebrating or coasting. Audible clank or bang like sound during engine start up.

Transmission almost locks up at highway speeds with high temperature at the gage and transmission leaking lots of fluid onto the exhaust (fire hazard). Has happened several times and dealer still has no idea how to fix. The below date is just the latest as I had just picked up the truck the day before. Below answer to was there a fire, nope not yet.

The 10R80 transmission in my truck has harsh shifting, stalled shifting, and is a safety hazard. Ford will not acknowledge the issues and will not repair the truck.

HARD SHIFTS INTO 2ND GEAR AND ALSO 4TH INTO 5TH GEAR. SOMETIMES WHEN FIRST STARTED AND PUT INTO REVERSE THERE IS A HARD CLUNK SOUND MADE FROM TRANSMISSION. OTHER TIMES IT COMPLETELY SKIPS 2ND AND 4TH GEAR BUT STAYS IN 1ST AND 3RD LONGER THAN IT PROBABLY SHOULD. ON AT LEAST 2 OCCASIONS IT HAS SORT OF STALLED OUT GOING FROM 3RD TO 5TH WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THIS TRANSMISSION REALLY HAS ISSUES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT BACK TO FORD THEY SAY THEY WILL REPROGRAM IT BUT WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. THIS HAPPENS DAILY BUT I'M JUST GOING TO PUT TODAY'S DATE BELOW.

MY 2019 FORD F150 HAS A RECALL FOR THE PHASER NOCKING BUT LIVERMORE FORD DON'T WANT TO FIX IT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FROM FORD CORPORATE, I CAN NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK AND I CAN NOT SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE KNOCKING NOISE. I AM STUCK WITH 30K TRUCK, PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT FROM FORD

VEHICLE, A 2019 F150 LIMITED WITH 10R80 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS HAD TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES SINCE DELIVERY. THERE HAS BEEN A CHATTERING SOUND ON DECELERATION AND VARIOUS TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE RELATED ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROWN FORD, FAYETTEVILLE NC, IN SEPTEMBER OF 2020 WITHIN THE FIRST 5,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE CHATTERING/HARD SHIFTING ISSUE. THE TRUCK SPENT 34 DAYS IN THE SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AND WHEEL BEARINGS WHICH WERE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE FIX. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND SENIOR MECHANIC TO LET THEM KNOW THERE WERE STILL ISSUES. THE MECHANIC RODE WITH ME AND ADVISED ME NOT TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AT THE SHOP AGAIN AND THAT "WHATEVER IT WAS, IT'S NOTHING MAJOR WRONG WITH YOUR TRUCK" AND TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. ISSUES HAVE BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH A NOTICEABLE "CLUNK" WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK OR SHIFTING INTO GEAR. THE TRUCK HAS LOST POWER BETWEEN SHIFTS WHILE IN NOTION AND HAS EXHIBITED EXTREMELY HARSH SHIFTS NUMEROUS TIMES, SO MUCH SO THAT IT FELT LIKE I HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK NOW IS NOW ACTING LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT AND AS IF IT HAS NO POWER, AS WELL AS THE APPEARANCE OF A MIL ON THE DASH. TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO CROWN FORD AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND I AM AWAITING RESULTS. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ISSUES RELATED TO THE F150 AND THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ADDRESS WHAT ARE SERIOUS SAFETY AND DRIVABILITY ISSUES. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRUCK OR THAT IT WILL PERFORM AS ADVERTISED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN THE FUTURE. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED.

MY 2019 F-150 HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 2 TIMES WITH AN ERROR SAYING "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE". THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN TOOK A RIGHT AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH DOWN A MAIN ROAD AND AGAIN LOST ALL POWER, COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL, BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH, THE VEHICLE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOT FUNCTION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BOTH TIMES PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT I AM VERY FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THE OUTCOME WILL BE MUCH WORSE! I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND BOTH TIMES TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO MAKE THE VEHICLE REPLICATE ISSUE.

TRUCK HAS 8100 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A CONSTANT VIBRATION ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR, REBALANCING OF THE TIRES DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. DEALER STATES IT IS NORMAL. ALSO, THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. CRUISING AT 74 ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD FLOOR IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO FROM 10TH GEAR TO 6TH WITH A SLAM, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND THE TRUCK WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I NEEDED IT TO SPEED UP. ALL THIS ON A COMPLETELY DRY AND FLAT ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. OTHER TIMES, I WAS GOING 50-60 MPH AND FLOORED IT TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE AND THE TRUCK DID NOTHING. DIDN'T SPEED UP, DIDN'T CHANGE GEARS, JUST NOTHING. AGAIN, VERY DANGEROUS.

TODAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, A WRENCH-SHAPED INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. FOLLOWING THIS, THE DISPLAY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FRONT SENSOR AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. AFTERWARDS, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND JERK AROUND WHILE IDLING AT THE STOPLIGHT. THE RATE AT WHICH THE TRUCK COULD ACCELERATE BEGAN TO DECREASE EVERY TIME I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP (A STOPLIGHT FOR EXAMPLE). SHIFTS ALSO SEEMED VERY ROUGH.

OUR BRAND NEW 2019 FORD F150 WAS HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS. VERY ROUGH SHIFT FROM 5 TO 6TH ETC. CLUNKY. CALLED DEALER. WAS TOLD IT WOULD "EVEN OUT" DRIVING FROM TX TO GA IT ONLY GOT WORSE. DEALERSHIP IN GA SAYS IT WAS SHIPPED LOW OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM, SO THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY LOW. WE DROVE 5500 MILES WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS 2 QTS LOW AND GOT NO ERRORS, LIGHTS OR NOTIFICATIONS. WE PICKED UP THE TRUCK ON OCT 10, 2020. IT STILL FELT VERY CLUNKY, SO WE TRIED IN NOVEMBER AND EARLY DECEMBER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. THEY COULD NOT GET A LOANER ETC. IT WAS NOT SERVICED A SECOND TIME AT THIS POINT. ON DEC 24TH AROUND, WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I 20 GOING ROUGHLY 70MPH. THANKFULLY, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FEEL ROUGHER ON SHIFTING ( IT IS AN AUTOMATIC) SUDDENLY, THE TRUCK LUNGES LIKE WE PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT SHIFTED FROM 10TH GEAR TO FIRST, HE KNEW TO PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND DROVE HOME ABOUT 4 MILES VERY SLOWLY. BECAUSE IT WOULD JERK VERY HARD IF IT GOT TO 5TH GEAR AND TRIED TO GO TO 6. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO THE HOLIDAY, THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO FORD WHO NOW SAY IT IS TOO FULL ON TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE WOULD HAVE CRASHED IF I WERE DRIVING. THE SUDDEN STOP AND SUDDEN GEAR CHANGE ONLY MAGNIFIED THE PROBLEMS WE WERE HAVING ALREADY WITH THE TRUCK. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AND WENT TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE WHILE I HAD SPACE IN THE PASSING LANE. AS THE TRUCK SLOWED FORM 73- 60 MPH, I GOT INTO THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED FROM 10TH/9TH GEAR TO 5TH. THE TRUCK SHUTTERED AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR, ALMOST SOUNDING AS IF A SEMI HAD REAR ENDED MY TRUCK. I HAD LOST ALL POWER TO THE POWER TRAIN AND HAD A WARNING LIGHT COME ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED RANDOM TIMES AND THE LAST TIME WAS DOWN RIGHT SCARY... TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

SO I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO DROP THE TRUCK OFF. I DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER (SAME ONE THAT DROVE THE TRUCK) AND HE ASKED IF THERE WAS A LEVEL KIT INSTALLED SINCE HE DROVE THE TRUCK LAST WEEK. I REPLIED YES, BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION! HE THEN STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT THIS AS A WARRANTY ISSUE ANYMORE AND WOULD CHARGE ME (EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM OCCURRED 100' AFTER I LEFT THE PARKING LOT WITH MY BRAND NEW TRUCK AND THE FACT THAT HE DROVE IT AND AGREED THERE IS DEFIANTLY AN ISSUE (THAT DAY!) I LEFT AND WON'T BE BACK. LONG STORY AS SHORT, I LOOKED DEEP INTO THIS AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE (2015-2020) AND NO FIX FROM FORD YET: ROAD FORCE BALANCE TIRES, NO.

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

THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION ACTING DIFFERENT TO MY DRIVING STYLE BECAUSE IT IS ADAPTED TO HOW MY WIFE DRIVES. THAT'S A TERRIBLE EXCUSE FOR ALL FORD EMPLOYEES TO USE BECAUSE FORD HASN'T GIVEN THEM A CLEAR ANSWER. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE RECTIFIED. THIS IS THE DREAM TRUCK MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE VEHICLE AND GO AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY FREEWAY WITH NO SHOULDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS SPORADICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUS MACHADO OF HIALEAH DEALER LOCATED AT (1200 W 49TH ST, HIALEAH, FL 33012) WHERE AN UPDATE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS COMPLETED TWICE AND AN UNKNOWN PART WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200.

TRANSMISSION MAKE A LOUD BANG WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. UPON ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 10TH TO 6TH GEAR IT IT SO VIOLENT IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR. SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE A 3-4 SECOND DELAY TO GO INTO REVERSE AND THEN MAKES A LOUD BANG WHEN REVERSE ENGAGES. SPERMATIC HARD SHIFTING. ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES.

Mileage: 20,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS BECAUSE OF IT DOING THAT. AGAIN ONE DECEMBER 20TH 2019 IT DID IT AGAIN. I DONT KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT TO BE DOING THAT BUT I'VE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING CAN BE FOUND WRONG.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 F150 AT LARRY H. MILLER FORD DRAPER. AND WITHIN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OF OWNING THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW GIVING ME PROBLEMS. JUST RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING IS FINE. AND SINCE I'VE HAD IT BACK THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING GEARS (2ND AND 5TH). STAYING IN GEAR TOO LONG. IT DOESN'T SHIFT DOWN PROPERLY, SO IT TAKES A LOT OF POWER TO MAKE A FULL STOP. AS ACCELERATE IT GOES FROM 9TH TO 8TH, THEN DOWN TO 7TH THEN BACK UP TO 9TH. AND I REALLY HAVE TO ACCELERATE IT TO EVEN SHIFT GEARS.

THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS INCONSISTENT IN SHIFTING ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD ... ALSO GRABS AND CLUNKS IF SLIGHTLY ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN MOVED TO DRIVE (INCONSISTENT). CREATES UNPREDICTABLE DRIVING SITUATIONS.

Mileage: 8,500

THE F150 WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH 5MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON ME WITHIN THE FIRST 16HRS OF DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT. A TEMPERATURE SENSOR HAD FAILED AND SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING 70MPH WHICH WAS NOT SAFE I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. THAT ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND THE PART REPLACED. A WEEK LATER AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK EVERYDAY FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK I STARTED EXPERIENCING VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 60+ MPH. THE VIBRATION IS FELT THROUGHOUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE SEAT YOU CAN FEEL THE CONSOLE AND EVERYTHING VIBRATE. THE TRANSMISSION CLICKS,BLACKS AND CLUNKS LIKE LIKE 15YR OLD VEHICLE. THE SHIFTING IS SLOPPY, JERKY AND OCCASIONALLY DELAYED AND WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES, YOU WILL GO TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS OR IS DELAYED. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS A POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE THESE THINGS KILL SOMEONE. MY IS SCHEDULED TO GO TO THE 3RD FORD DEALER THIS MONDAY 12-23-2019 THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS A STEERING DAMPER CAUSING IT. IT IS NOT A DAMPER CAUSING THESE VIBRATIONS AND SOUNDS I HAVE A VERY EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND OF MECHANICS AND I KNOW A JUNK TRANSMISSION. FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. THESE ARE LEMONS AND SHOULD BE BOUGHT BACK FROM FORD.

ON TUESDAY 11/5/19, WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 45 MPH WHEN I DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CITY STREET. I HAD ACCELERATED BACK UP TO AROUND 30 MPH WHEN I CROSS OVER A RELATIVELY SMOOTH RAILROAD CROSSING AT A SLIGHT LEFT HAND TURN. IMMEDIATELY THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE CONSOLE START DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ALERTS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING. WHILE THE ENGINE DID NOT CUT OFF, THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE POWERTRAIN AND EVENTUALLY WE ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FIRE ALERTS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE MESSAGES STILL FIRED SO I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ALERT MESSAGES HAD CEASED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE HOUSE (APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES) AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO ISSUE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN NEXT DAY (26 MILES) WITH NO ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, OUR FORD PASS APP HAD CAPTURED ALL THE ALERTS AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. WE PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN LEFT ONTO A SIDE ROAD. WE HIT A SMALL HUMP WHERE THE SIDE ROAD MEETS THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN THE ALERTS STARTING FIRING AND THE TRUCK LOST PROPULSION. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF AND THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. WE PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WOULD LIKE FOR FORD TO ASSESS THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE BEYOND THE DEALERSHIP'S CAPABILITIES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE SEVERAL OF THE ALERTS REPRESENTED LOSS OF SAFETY FUNCTIONS INCLUDING BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERTRAIN FAILURE, AND OTHERS WE FEEL THIS ISSUE REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. SEVERAL OF THE F150 FORUMS HAVE SHOWN OTHER USERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL GEARS, CAUSING THE WHEELS TO SEIZE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

EXPERIENCING ROUGH/JERKY SHIFTS FROM TRANSMISSION. PART OF THE JERKY SHIFT IS A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFT OR UP-SHIFT FOLLOWED BY IT CLUNKING/SLAMMING INTO GEAR. JERKY DOWNSHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS THRUST VEHICLE FORWARD. THIS IS EXPERIENCED DURING EVERYDAY DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE A FIX.

MY NEW 2019 FORD F150 HAS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE MOTOR THAT CAN BE HEARD 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS A CONSTANT WHINING NOISE CONTINUALLY UPON ANY ACCELERATION. BOTH WHILE STATIONARY, ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY BLOCK GOT TO A STOP SIGN AS I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL UP THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIT. I DECIDED TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WAIT A LITTLE STILL NOTHING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE WAS IN REVERSE.

THERE IS A BAD VIBERATION AT 60/70 MPH. THIS IS A $74.000 F150 LIMITED. THEY PUT TWO NEW TIRES ON AND STILL BAD. NOW THEY ARE CHECKING ALL DRIVETRAIN STILL NOTHING. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 700 MILES ON IT. ITS A 2019. DO NOT WANT THIS TRUCK NOW. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR ME TO SPEND . I THINK THEY NEED TO BUY THIS TRUCK BACK, TO BIG A PROBLEM TO PUT UP WITH.

I PURCHASED A 2019 FORD F-150 XLT WITH THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THE 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE ON 5/13/2019. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BECOME VERY PROBLEMATIC AND IS ROUGH TO SHIFT, SKIPS GEARS, AND HAS CREATED UNPLEASANT DRIVING EXPERIENCES FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS. A FEW WEEKS AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK, I STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. INITIALLY THE TRUCK WOULD APPEAR TO 'SKIP' GEARS WHEN SHIFTING UP OR DOWN, AFTER I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE EACH DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND STARTED TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO PERFORM WORSE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT NOTICEABLY 'HARD' OR 'SLUGGISHLY' WHEN SHIFTING UP OR DOWN WITH AN OCCASIONAL LOUD 'CLANG' SOUND. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED SO HARD ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE SEATBELT RESTRAINT FOR MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER TO ENGAGE, AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. AFTER THE TWO INCIDENTS ABOVE AND THE INCREASED FREQUENCY IN WHICH THIS TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFICULTY PERFORMING, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/1/2019. THE APPOINTMENT LASTED ABOUT AN HOUR (IF THAT). THE SERVICE ADVISOR [CHARLIE RYAN] ADVISED THAT THE TRUCK WAS 'HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC' AND PROVIDED ME WITH A PRINTOUT AND TOLD ME 'THE TRANSMISSION WAS OPERATING NORMALLY, AND IT WILL SKIP GEARS BY DESIGN'. I ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT, SINCE THE TRUCK IS JERKING ME AROUND WHILE DRIVING. HE SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX AND I SHOULD LOG A COMPLAINT WITH FORD AND IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN, MAYBE A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS TRUCK MODEL/CONFIGURATION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTING AND IS STARTING TO BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN.
