The 10R80 transmission started delayed shifts between 8,9,10. After 50 miles the issue spread to the lower gears. When going from 3rd to 4th or 5th the engine speeds up vehicle loses speed. To recover let your foot off the gas and then apply gas very gently. After another 50 miles shifting became more erratic, sometimes with a load clunk. My safety has been at risk because you cannot count on the vehicle to do a smooth acceleration during a traffic merge. If you are in a lineup doing a merge suddenly you cannot keep pace because the transmission is shifting erratically. The vehicle has been at the dealer from October 3rd within in line for repair. They have stated Ford is just overwhelmed with 10R80 repairs. Based upon public information the Ford 10R80 transmission has some major flaws. Received an orange wrench message telling me repairs are required. I know that by its behavior. Filed a case with Ford Customer Care program, so far no help.

Followed semi into dealer service parking lot. Semi turned left so moved forward to join line of cars into service bay. While coming to stop, semi on left backed up and coming right for me. At my stopping, auto engine shut off turned off engine as was trying to shift to reverse. By time engine turned back on, acknowledged reverse, engaged reverse, responded to accelerator being pushed, gear engaged, the truck was about to hit me as driver did not see me. Luckily driver noticed and slammed on brakes. By this time, vehicle was still trying to move so if truck did not stop, I would have been hit. Auto stop of engine is a dangerous feature. While may work at a traffic light, in a situation requiring quick response, too many steps to turn vehicle on and engage a change of direction. Ford has a feature to turn off manually, but should be allowed to turn off all the time. If vehicle shuts down in emergency situation as this, a person could be killed. This event was viewed by several people and all I could say was could not move as vehicle did not respond quickly enough. Emissions are not more important to people's lives and this feature needs to be removed or allowed to be overridden.

Front fuel tank strap bolt came out causing the fuel tank to drop from the vehicle. The dealer found zero damage or any reason for the failure. The service writer tells me the probable cause was an assembly line issue where the bolt was not tight enough.
