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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The metal fuel line from the canister up to the high press fuel rail developed a crack and ruptured without warning. The vehicle was unsafe to drive because it poured a significant amount of gasoline onto the ground when the fuel pump came on. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for repair. The fuel line was inspected by the dealer's technician, rupture was confirmed and both fuel supply and return lines were replaced. After repair was performed, the dealer service representative showed me the fuel line that was replaced.

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.

Truck was taken in for cam phasers issues multiple times and said was covered under 21n03. Ford won’t say why other than it doesn’t fall in serial number break. 21n03 says there is no sn distinction just has to be made at these plants which mine was. I have been lied to multiple times by ford and have come to them with new information and still told they won’t even look at case because I have been denied once already. I had to pay 5k out of pocket and cam phasers are now failing again within 90days. Ford is a joke and doesn’t stand behind what they build. (I AM NOW FULLY AWARE) FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT TAKEN THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OR REMEDIES FOR CONSUMERS THAT OWN THEIR PRODUCT TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE A SERIOUS/DEADLY INCIDENT OCCURS *MAY YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS EXTREME KNOWN PROBLEM BECAUSE AT TIMES I FEAR FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND EVEN THE DRIVING COMMUNITY FOR THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF WHAT MY TRUCK MAY DO OR NOT DO WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE IN OUR PUBLIC ROADWAYS/HIGHWAYS.

*THE COMPONENT IN QUESTION IS THE TRANSMISSION "10R80". *AT RISK IS THAT TRUCK STOPS OR LOSES SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

I HAVE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE THAN BUT NOW IT IS JUST GETTING WORSE. *I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I AM NOT READY TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT (I AM NOW FULLY AWARE) FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT TAKEN THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS OR REMEDIES FOR CONSUMERS THAT OWN THEIR PRODUCT TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE A SERIOUS/DEADLY INCIDENT OCCURS *MAY YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS EXTREME KNOWN PROBLEM BECAUSE AT TIMES I FEAR FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND EVEN THE DRIVING COMMUNITY FOR THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF WHAT MY TRUCK MAY DO OR NOT DO WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE IN OUR PUBLIC ROADWAYS/HIGHWAYS.

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!

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.
