Transmission goes out of gear while accelerating, will stay out of gear for a few seconds, engine rev, then lurch forward when it goes into gear. Transmission will also have delayed shifting, for example will stay in second gear up to high RPM before upshifting (under slow acceleration), then slam into 4th gear.

Transmission has hard shifting in lower gears. It gets stuck in 4th gear and loses power. It also will lunge forward sometimes once it gets stuck in 4th gear. It puts mine and others safety in jeopardy because if it loses power on the road it might cause a acciden it might also cause one when it lunges forward. The problem seems to happen everyday I drive the vehicle. There has been no warning lights on the dash about this issue. Ford released a technical service bulletin about it but is should be a recall.

The variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid becomes gummed up, causing the engine to lag. Specifically after driving on the interstate or highway and then sitting at a red light. The VCT does not perform properly and the engine idle drops, causing the truck to stall and die at the light. Online forums show this to be a common problem for the past couple generations of this Ford 5.0 L motor and always seems to occur between 80,000 and 100,000 miles.
