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.

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.

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..

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.

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 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.
