POWER TRAIN
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

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.

AIR BAGS
Steering wheel airbag cover has been replaced twice already and has failed a third time. The plastic cover separates at the release point for the airbag, directly below the steering wheel emblem, exposing the airbag to the elements. The composition of this FORD airbag cover has changed at least once and is still failing in the new design. Dealership is refusing to provide me with service records requested 3 times.

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
On July 14, 2022, I took my F150 to Ford and it was determined that the 10 speed transmission was going to need to be replaced. I had 60,400 miles on it when it starts having major malfunction going on in the Powertrain. At the time the transmission replacement was being done, it was Ford’s knowledge that the Cam phasers were not functioning correctly.. causing sudden jerk and knocking.. Cam Phasers we’re not replace last year nor looked at, even though I told them that there was sudden jerks happening. It was under warranty at that time (last year). Ford also knew that reprogramming the trucks software, does not correct any of the problems that they are having. Now at 70,000 miles I’m going back in to, Southwest Ford in Hudson Oaks, Texas, to get these parts replaced as soon as they are available. They are requesting $700 (just like when the transmission was replaced). Which it is my opinion that the total amount should be covered-$1800.

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.

POWER TRAIN
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

POWER TRAIN
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

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
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.
