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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
