- Bargersville, IN, USA

While driving 80 mph using cruise control on flat straight freeway, vehicle randomly would downshift from 10th gear into much lower gears, causing rapid deceleration. This happened multiple times, after transmission issues were reported to dealer and dealer "could not find any issues." Dealer eventually said new transmission was needed, replaced it, and then 30k miles later similar transmission issues are happening.

During a 5,000 mile vacation trip thru mountainous terrain the transmission wouldn't downshift properly and has continued since during everyday driving. There is vibration felt through the truck and steering wheel. I made an appointment at the Hanover Pa dealership and they verified the problem. The Ford garage had it 4 days and put in an entire rear drive shaft which didn't fix it. The next trip there, they replaced the torque converter which they immediately told me still didn't fix it and it's been there a week torn apart. They have now replaced almost $4,000 worth of apparently functional parts. Our last conversation was they don't know what is wrong and they need to contact Ford. The first hazard l face is the truck won't shift down in a timely manner, especially on hills to come to a full stop. The next hazard is the truck sitting at the Hanover Ford dealership, torn apart for yet another week and they aren't equipped with an answer.

While driving down the interstate the truck randomly started shifting into all the gears randomly which was making the rear tires seem to lock up. The dash instrument panel had the gears randomly cycling through them also.

- Georgetown, KY, USA

On 8/19/24 the transmission started slipping mildly. 8/20/24 slipping progresses to total failure to engage. I was on the highway (10 miles out of town) when it became clear I would not make it to my destination- I pulled off at a driveway to turn around and attempt to make it to my mechanic. At the driveway, I placed the gearshift in reverse to make a 3 point turn; the gear would not engage and the truck rolled back into a ditch, with 1 tire suspended in the air, tetering at a wavering 45 degree angle. Leaning weight of all passengers uphill and placing truck in 4-high, the transmission did engage in drive and I was fortunately able to avert the seemingly inevitable rolling of the vehicle, and we were able to pull out onto the road. Terrifying. We made it to my mechanic, who ran codes and got: PO 772-00 and P2704-00. He sent me to the transmission shop, who told me they will not touch a Ford 10 spd tranny because they have so many problems. The Ford dealer has advised it needs a new transmission tot he tone of $10k. They encouraged contacting Ford Corporate. Ford Corporate informed me that yes, the 10 spd transmission do have a lot of known problems, and there are a number of recalls, based on date of manufacture and batch manufactured at specific plants. Though my truck is exhibiting the same catastrophic failure of the transmission as those recalled, Ford informed me my batch is not included in the recall and thus they will do absolutely nothing to help me and the pay will be my responsibility out of pocket. My case # with Ford corporate is CXH02611974.

I-??ve taken the truck to a ford dealership and after running diagnostics they-??ve told me they have to replace the whole transmission the problems I reported before they ran diagnostics were that when driving on hills or moving from a stop to get into traffic the vehicle will go from 4th gear to 1st and won't accelerate. When going into reverse it buffers and takes a second to engage in gear. After this happens I'm alerted with "Powertrain system fault" This causes a safety issue for me and others because on hills it won't accelerate and it rolls backwards. From a stop trying to get into traffic it won't move and becomes a collision waiting to happen. Before I took it in to a Ford dealership to look at, these problems became an everyday issue and the problems always happen and I was forced to not drive it to avoid further damage. The only warnings are "Powertrain System fault" No symptoms and first appeared late June of 2024.

Ive had a few incidents where the vehicle shifted so hard into a lower gear that the tires made a sound. I thought the truck was going to break. I can have some one behind and I would be rear ended. My truck will get in a wreck just a matter of time. Especially if there is a turn, rain, snow, ice, a hill, or someone behind me. Other incidents with the powertrain have happened like not wanting to shift and the lights start blinking. The truck doesn't know what to do. So if this happens at a stop light, a stop sign, parking lot on the highway, I will probably get in a wreck. I've had it checked by a couple mechanics and they don't know. Its all over the forums of people having issues but nobody has a solution. And if there is a solution its very expensive. And not really sure if that fixes the issue. Its a very unsafe vehicle and only a matter of time before Ford gets sued for millions. I've already made a claim with Ford. They have refused to help me in the situation.
