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.

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.

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I bought the vehicle in 2019 the backup camera stayed on as I was driving down the road. I had to have the computer reset twice. While stopped at a light i had my foot on the break and the vehicle rolled forward and didn't stop me from rear ending the person in front of me at the light. The warning beeped but it didn't brake. Recently I was driving on the highways and my navigation showed that I was driving in a totally different place. Now I had my battery replaced because the auto start and stop wasn't working. When stopping at a red light the vehicle wouldn't start without me putting it in park and restarting it. I have to turn off my auto start stop feature because I'm afraid my vehicle won't start on its own.

While driving down a busy road my wrench light appeared on my dash and made a dinging noise. As soon as I saw/heard that I could hear a faint ticking noise. Soon after, my engine quit running and I was stalled out in the middle of a lane on a busy road. I was unable to start my vehicle after that. My engine had seized. There was no prior check engine lights or anything. I had only owned the truck 1 year and 4 months and had put 13,000 miles on it. Always kept good maintenance and there was no prior indications that there was something major wrong
