Vehicle has hard shifts and has been reprogrammed 3 times in the last year. PCM was reprogrammed due to a chain rattle or slapping at 1500-2000rpms, gas mileage has went to 13-14 mpg highway after last attempt to fix.

10 speed transmission shifts very hard into reverse (loud 'thunk' heard along with a jarring motion felt inside the cab). Majority of the time this happens shortly after the vehicle has started (I let the engine 'idle down' before shifting into gear). Ford of Canada reprogrammed the transmission a number of times, and that seems to solve the reversing issue temporarily. Now live in the usa, and in addition to the reverse issues the vehicle will 'jerk' or 'stall' when shifting between 3-4-5-6 gears shortly after started. Unfortunately neither of these are an 'every time' occurrence, and have happened in both cold and hot ambient temperatures. To Ford Canada's credit they did attempt to solve the issue multiple times...we'll see how Ford usa deals with the situation.

While driving 75 mph I floored the accelerator pedal to pass a vehicle in an 80 mph zone. The transmission down shifted from 10th gear to 6th gear so hard I thought I had been rear-ended. I have been able to duplicate the situation 2 additional times.

On multiple occasions the transmission has come out of gear between shifts and remained out of gear for extended periods of time. The most notable scenario is when pulling a 7500 pound load while descending down a mountain. This has resulted in loss of braking power and overall control of the truck and trailer. This has created an unsafe environment for myself and my family while hauling our travel trailer. The 10 speed transmission is notorious for such behavior and Ford refuses to acknowledge this. I have made multiple attempts at bringing it in for service at multiple dealerships. There is no known fix for this problem.

My vehicle I purchased in 2019 second owner is now not running. I am unsure as to what is going on or why it stalled on me approximately 3 months ago. I filed a claim with my insurance company they closed it without assistance. I had it towed home. It will start up but it has a really loud clanging in the motor area. I don't know what's going on with it. My vehicle has not been neglected and it has been taken care of and I don't understand why it's not running to only be 2 years old. I was driving my vehicle to pick up my daughter from work in town. I noticed a very loud sound and I pulled over at a local circle K and it didn't start back up at that time. I am finding recalls, but not specific to my VIN.

Driving at speed, push on accelerator to pass other vehicles or enter highway from onramp, transmission downshifts so hard with a loud clunk that tires lose traction and it feels like my vehicle has been struck. This has been happening since the truck was new. The dealer has reprogrammed the PCM per recall 182274A, but the reprogramming has not fixed the issue. If anything, it has been worse and happens more frequently than before the reprogramming.

Numerous times I have been driving and my transmission lags so much that 8 slow down at least 5 to 7 mph although it hasnt caused an accident yet I feel an accident could easily occur especially in situations were I would need to accelerate quickly there has also been multiple class action lawsuits brought against Ford involving these type of particular incidents regarding the 10R80 transmission

Transmission gear shifts are clunking and noising and sometimes slips gears mainly around 3 and 6 gears

- Pearland, TX, USA

While driving, there has been rough intermittent shifts/acceleration, particularly from a stopped position. I have noticed it happens between 5-7 gears. Vehicle will be stopped at a stop light, as you accelerate, the vehicle will go through first few gears with normal acceleration and pick up speed, the sudden jerking of the vehicle seems like it just did an engine break(?). vehicle will be accelerating to 40+ mph and feel as if it did a sudden brake and decelerate rapidly to than resume acceleration. Additionally, when vehicle is parked, when switching between park and drive or park and reverse, the shift is sometimes rough as if the clutch was never engaged and it was forced into the drive mode. Not only will the be a large noise, but a slight jerk. Also, I have had my phasers replaced already due to loud engine noise.

Was on a driveway with incline towing a trailer 500 lbs, looping around started down in gear shifted then free wheeled 20 to 30 feet slammed into gear. Second time it had happened. First time around a corner with a trailer same thing, free wheeled then slammed into gear. I have less then 20,000 miles on the truck. Every time I go around the corner truck shift hard. This has always been on a city street while the truck is in motion. The free wheeling was an unsafe condition. Transmission is the faulty part.

- Olympia, WA, USA

The vehicle will shift harshly at times and sometimes will not shift at all. We were on freeway on ramp and the transmission just didn't shift leaving us basically almost in an accident from no acceleration as we were trying to merge. This has happened more than once. Can't replicate at dealer.

Control module for the powertrain is malfunctioning causing problems with overall driving vehicle. I was getting lunch and while driving back to the office a wrench sensor showed up on my dash. I stopped and had to look up what the icon meant and apparently it had something to do with the powertrain on my vehicle. I immediately called the dealership and had it looked at. They informed me it was a control module problem and ordered a new one for me.

When shifting into 4th gear the vehicle will shift roughly almost as a brake tap before automatically increasing on its own to 25-28mph. This even occurs with speed control on. All of this occurs while in motion on city streets and entering highways. This has been occurring for the past 8 months. Every time the vehicle is in motion.

- Pensacola, FL, USA

Transmission shifts rough and clunks. Most noticeable going from gears1-3 and from 4-5. will randomly shift and almost cause whiplash when running on the highway with cruise control on.

- Horace, ND, USA

Truck has had transmission issues for last 800 miles. Truck now has 12700. Shifts hard and slips especially 3-4-5 gears. 5th gear the worst on slipping, almost as if I put the truck in neutral, then it finds the gear and bucks. Definitely a hazard to drive. I have brought it into Ford 3 times, the first time they applied a tsb, second time they said it was normal and refused to do anything. I called Ford and sent it in for a second opinion they said they agree transmission needs work but refuse to work on it as the first dealership only one who can get paid for it.

Transmission is not smooth when shifting. Makes loud clunking sounds and shudders.

- Fernandina Beach, FL, USA

Very noticeable banging sound from transmission when vehicle is put into either reverse or drive, or at times when you step on the gas pedal to accelerate. Seems intermittent but very noticeable when it occurs.

- Perkinston, MS, USA

Between 3rd and 4th gear. On every driving occasion, the truck "clunks" and jerks during those gears. Nearly every morning when pulling out of the drive way on my way to work, the truck misses 4th gear and losses power. On a many drives, I will pull through an intersection from a stop and will lose power at 4th gear. It cas caused many near wrecks in the city when pulling out onto higher speed roads with the need to accelerate. My wife refuses to ride in the truck especially with the kids. She says that it is a ticking time bomb and that we are just counting down the days when it fails and we die in a collision. She said that I need to sell it and buy a Tundra or go back to Ram rebel. This missing gears and extremely rough shifting happens in any scenario; highway-city accelerating-decelerating, warmed up or cold start. I'm I cant even tow the boat because we have to leave the house over a hill. We already had a scare during towing because we lost almost all power and started rolling backwards. I had to accelerate a lot faster to try to catch it and the jerk of it finding the gear caused a whiplash of the entire family.

2018 Ford F-150 lariat (bought new with 2000 miles). Cold start up the transmission hesitates (causing me in some instances to lunge forward) - very obvious issue, but dealership says it is not throwing a code & they can't duplicate. They said this could be "normal" for this 10 speed transmission. I was told the dealership emailed Ford engineers for help, but I have never heard back from them. I am now at 38K miles and the issue still exists (I bought extended warranty - just in case). The transmission acts normal the majority of the time past cold startup.
